3 Altcoins Facing Major Liquidation Risks in the First Week of January
The new year’s barely begun, and already the crypto markets feel restless. There’s energy prices moving, chatter picking up but under it all, leverage keeps piling up. That’s the kind of setup that doesn’t just fizzle out. It snaps.
Three names look especially shaky right now if the momentum slips, even just a bit. First, Solana (SOL). It bounced back hard, and traders rushed in, stacking up bullish bets in perpetual futures. You can see it in the funding rates they’re still high, which means the crowd is leaning long. Optimism rules for now, but when too many people line up on one side, even a small dip can set off forced liquidations as traders scramble for the exits.
Dogecoin (DOGE) is next. Meme coins move fast, and right now DOGE is back in the spotlight with speculators pouring in. Open interest has climbed way faster than real spot demand, and that’s a classic red flag. If the price stops climbing or even wobbles, over-leveraged longs won’t wait around they’ll bail, and what could’ve been a minor pullback turns into a sharp drop.
Then there’s Avalanche (AVAX). It just broke out of a tight range, which usually draws in aggressive leverage. AVAX isn’t as liquid as the bigger names, so it doesn’t take much selling to kick off a chain reaction.liquidations can hit both longs and shorts, feeding on themselves.
None of this means these projects are doomed. Their fundamentals aren’t the problem the risk comes from the way traders are positioned. Early January is always jumpy, with new money colliding with shaky setups. For anyone trading, take it as a warning: leverage works both ways, and in a crowded market, the first move against the herd stings the most.

$STX is showing strong bullish activity with a +7.8% move in the last 24 hours, currently trading around 0.3648 USDT. After a solid bounce from the 0.346 support zone, price pushed aggressively toward 0.379, followed by a short-term pullback.
On the 1H timeframe, the structure remains bullish despite the correction. Higher highs and higher lows are still intact, and the current retracement appears healthy rather than a trend breakdown, suggesting momentum can rebuild.
Trade Setup
Entry Zone:
0.3600 – 0.3660 (pullback into demand / continuation zone)
Target 1:
0.3720 – intraday resistance
Target 2:
0.3790 – recent high and breakout level
Target 3:
0.3950 – higher timeframe resistance and extension
Stop Loss:
0.3520 (below structure support and invalidation)
Technical Notes
Strong impulsive rally confirms buyer strength
Pullback holding above prior breakout zone
Bullish structure remains valid above 0.360
A clean reclaim of 0.379 with volume can trigger continuation
If STX holds above support and volume returns on the upside, continuation toward higher resistance levels remains likely. Proper risk management is essential given recent volatility.

BlockBeats News, January 6th, according to Onchain Lens monitoring, a whale sold 52.1 WBTC (worth $4.86 million), then deposited 3.36 million USDC into the Lighter platform, and bought 1,119,001 LIT at a price of $3 per token.
$XRP looks like it’s gearing up for a big move—about 65%—and, honestly, institutions seem to be getting in early.
After months of steady selling, $XRP finally found its footing, just as the rest of the crypto market started to bounce back. Bitcoin’s climbing toward $90K again, Ethereum’s holding above $3K, and people are willing to take on risk. You can see that reflected in XRP now, too.
Sellers had their run, but XRP managed to bounce from a key demand zone and pull itself back above some important support. The relentless selling we saw during the last cycle is losing steam. Now, the big question is whether this turnaround can actually stick, especially with the broader market and structural changes working in its favor.
What really jumps out is how institutional players are acting. Spot ETFs for XRP just had $43.16 million in net inflows last week. That’s a real sign that regulated funds want a piece. XRPZ led with $21.76 million, and Bitwise’s XRP fund added $17.27 million, bumping its total up to $252 million. These aren’t quick trades—they’re long-term bets.
Outflows? Pretty minimal. XRPC saw a small $1.18 million outflow, but that’s nothing compared to what’s come in before. It looks more like investors shifting between products than pulling out of XRP altogether. Right now, ETF assets total $1.37 billion, which is about 1.14% of XRP’s market cap. Cumulative inflows are at $1.18 billion. Basically, institutions are getting more involved and spreading out their bets, not just speculating for a quick win.
XRP broke out of a months-long falling wedge. Price is hanging near $2.13, above a demand zone where sellers kept failing. As that wedge pattern played out, buyers started to take control, and you can see the momentum building. The RSI is up in the mid-60s—not overheated, just strong.
If buyers can keep XRP above $2.22, the breakout pattern stays alive and the target is clear: $3.53, which is about a 65% jump from here. If things slip below $2.05, though, that setup falls apart and opens the door down to $1.80
$PIXEL is showing stable bullish activity with a +2.2% move in the last 24 hours, currently trading around 0.00960 USDT. After a clear bounce from the 0.00922 support zone, price delivered a strong impulsive move toward 0.00995–0.01000, followed by a controlled consolidation.
On the 1H timeframe, bullish candles remain dominant, and the pullback structure suggests continuation rather than reversal. Price is holding above the prior breakout zone, keeping momentum intact.
Trade Setup
Entry Zone:
0.00945 – 0.00960 (pullback into demand / breakout retest)
Target 1:
0.00985 – intraday resistance and range high
Target 2:
0.01025 – previous 24h high and breakout confirmation
Target 3:
0.01070 – higher timeframe resistance and extension zone
Stop Loss:
0.00920 (below structure low and invalidation level)
Technical Notes
Strong impulsive candle confirms buyer dominance
Pullback is shallow, indicating strength
Holding above 0.00945 keeps bullish bias valid
A clean break above 0.01025 with volume opens higher continuation
If $PIXEL sustains above the consolidation range and volume expands, continuation toward higher resistance zones remains likely. Proper risk management is essential due to recent volatility.

I’m telling you from my latest scan, $ENJ just forced $3.1684K shorts to close and they are clearly on the back foot now. I’m watching how price is holding steady instead of dumping, and I have strong belief that buyers are quietly building. This is not a random bounce, this is structure improving step by step.
EP: $0.0308 – $0.0318
TP1: $0.0345
TP2: $0.0378
TP3: $0.0415
SL: $0.0292
What’s condition here? If you want a calm entry, wait for price to stay above $0.0308 and then let momentum do its work. I’m trading what I see, not what I hope, and that’s why I like $ENJ

As discussed earlier, $BTC showing relative strength against stocks and metals was a clear sign of the market preparing to move toward the key supply zone around 94K, as long as 89K held as support, which it did. We are now tapping 94K once again, and the main question is whether this level will break this time, as it stands as a major structural area and price has approached it very cleanly. My trade setups will only form after clarity and acceptance above this zone, and I’ll keep you updated accordingly. For now, 90K–89K remains the key support in case of rejection, while a sustainable breakout would require some consolidation around this level before the next impulse move, as direct breakouts usually doesn't ends well.
