3 altcoins may reach ATH in the first week of January 2026

TapChiBitcoin
BTC1,39%
CC5,99%
PIPPIN-4,95%

A new year begins with an impressive start as Bitcoin breaks through the $93,000 level after several consecutive gains. This strong rally spreads across the cryptocurrency market, helping altcoins recover simultaneously and approach historic highs.

In this context, Coinphoton has selected and analyzed three potential altcoins that have the ability to set new all-time highs (ATH) this week.

Canton (CC)

Currently, CC is trading around $0.143, about 24% below the all-time high of $0.177 set at the beginning of 2026. This altcoin remains in the recovery zone, as recent accumulation activity indicates the market is exploring the possibility of reigniting upward momentum.

The Chaikin Money Flow indicator remains stable, with no signs of decline, reflecting continuous capital inflow. This stability demonstrates strong investor confidence. If the accumulation trend continues, CC could fully regain its upward trajectory and aim to retake the $0.177 level in the near future.

Early sell-offs could push the price down to the support zone of $0.133. If this level is broken, the bullish structure will weaken significantly, invalidating the optimistic scenario and shifting focus to short-term risks.

Pippin (PIPPIN)

Currently, PIPPIN is trading around $0.455, opening growth prospects for the upcoming week. However, the price is still being held back by a key resistance level of $0.514 – a price point that has repeatedly limited breakout attempts since late December.

The $0.514 level has repeatedly restrained PIPPIN’s upward movement since the end of last year. PIPPIN’s all-time high, established on 12/24, remains about 58% higher than the current price. The RSI indicator stays above the neutral threshold of 50.0, indicating intrinsic strength in the upward trend. With support from the overall market, PIPPIN could target levels of $0.600 and $0.720.

If distribution continues, the price could decline further. Breaking below the support of $0.434 would weaken the upward momentum and could push PIPPIN down to the support zone of $0.366, invalidating the bullish scenario.

River (RIVER)

RIVER hit its all-time high of $19.28 on the second day of 2026. To return to this peak, RIVER needs to increase by 43% from its current price – a fully achievable target given the market’s strong momentum.

Today alone, RIVER has risen 11%, currently trading around $13.64. Maintaining above the support zone of $11.71 helps reinforce the price structure of this altcoin. With a high correlation coefficient of 0.72 with Bitcoin, if BTC continues to grow, RIVER is likely to be driven to retake the $19.28 high.

If selling intensifies, RIVER risks falling below the support zone of $11.71. In that case, the price could continue to adjust down to $8.39, invalidating the bullish outlook and prompting investors to prioritize risk management measures.

Based on these analyses, investors should closely monitor market developments and key support-resistance levels to make informed decisions, optimize profits, and limit risks.

Why is Bitcoin up today? “Alireza” opens direct negotiations, and Trump demands that Iran “immediately” stop tanker fees

Bitcoin’s official rise today reached $71,800, mainly because Israel and Lebanon have begun direct negotiations, reducing market concerns about an Iran ceasefire agreement. In addition, a weaker US dollar and continued buying by institutional investors also pushed prices higher. On the technical side, Bitcoin’s key support levels are $68,500 to $70,000. A break above $76,000 to $78,000 could prompt another test of $80,000 to $85,000.
