On Friday, we delve into the price movements of Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Binance Coin, and Hype.

Ethereum (ETH)

ETH began 2026 positively, resisting at the $3,340 level. However, as long as it stays above the $3,000 support level, buyers remain hopeful. ETH saw a slight gain of 1% in the second week of January, hinting at a potential recovery since reclaiming the $3,000 mark in December. If it breaks past $3,340 and establishes it as support, a sustained upward trend could develop.

Ripple (XRP)

XRP concluded the week with an exceptional 11% increase, regaining the $2 support level, which is currently under scrutiny. If it maintains this level, buyers might regain control. However, any dips below $2 might entice sellers to retest the $1.80 support.

Cardano (ADA)

Cardano’s buyers attempted to breach the 40 cents resistance but faced rejection, although they succeeded in closing the week with a 7% gain after securing the 36-cent support. Sustaining an uptrend is crucial; failure to hold above 40 cents could allow sellers to reassert pressure.

Binance Coin (BNB)

BNB’s continued attempts to break through the $900 resistance were met with rejection. This level has been challenged multiple times since November 2025; however, each test weakens this resistance. If BNB manages to convert $900 into support, it could spark a rally towards $1,000.

Hype (HYPE)

HYPE finished the week with a modest 2% gain but buyers struggled to maintain prices above $30, facing resistance from sellers since Wednesday. As sellers dominate, the price may test the $24 support again. There is an urgent need for HYPE to secure $30 to initiate a move higher.
