$DUSK : The project, which recorded a surge to nearly $0.33 over the past weekend amid strong capital inflows driven by the Privacy narrative, is currently undergoing a modest correction, with the price now retreating to around $0.149.
The key question is whether this move represents a temporary pullback aimed at flushing out leveraged long positions, or whether it signals that the upward momentum of the Privacy narrative has begun to fade.

🔥 $PENGUIN continues its rally after the U.S. Technology Agency shared an image
🖤 Shortly after the U.S. Technology Agency posted the image, which had previously appeared on the White House’s account
-> $PENGUIN surged 2x -> Reached a new peak at $170M FDV/Market cap (FDV = Market cap) -> Up ~87x since former President Trump announced the signing of an agreement with NATO regarding Greenland
It’s interesting to see multiple U.S. government agencies recently showing a tendency to post meme-related imagery
The sharp spikes followed by slow bleed suggest a classic price-push for distribution rather than organic demand
ME just went through a large token unlock for VCs and the team, and recent pumps have lacked follow-through. Each spike has been met with gradual selling, aligning closely with net inflows to CEXs
This structure closely resembles what we previously saw with WCT and $GRASS: early push → local top → extended distribution phase.
There is opportunity when positioning early during sideways consolidation before unlock timing.
But once price enters repeated spike phases like this, chasing FOMO becomes risky
At this stage, it’s worth being patient— either wait for a reset or consider short setups on relief bounces, rather than buying strength
Watch how $WCT and $GRASS behaved around their unlock periods for reference

NOTABLE TOKEN UNLOCK SCHEDULE – THIS WEEK (JAN 19–25, 2026)
This week’s unlocks feature several high-impact events, with multiple tokens unlocking 4%–6% of circulating supply, a range that often brings heightened short-term volatility
Tom Lee: Ethereum could see a “golden moment” in 2026, with $ETH targeting $12,000
Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine and co-founder of Fundstrat, said at BitMine’s latest shareholder meeting that Ethereum sits at the center of a new wave of financial infrastructure transformation, and that 2026 could become a pivotal year for Ethereum’s full-scale breakout. Lee noted that Ethereum previously set an all-time high in the ETH/BTC ratio in 2021, and with the acceleration of real-world asset tokenization and increasing adoption by traditional financial institutions and users, this ratio could surpass its previous peak in 2026. Standard Chartered has also described 2026 as the “Year of Ethereum” and forecasted an ETH price of $12,000.
Against this backdrop, Tom Lee emphasized that BitMine’s business model would directly benefit from a rise in Ethereum’s price. Based on historical correlations, if ETH reaches $12,000, BitMine’s stock price (BMNR) could theoretically approach $500.
In addition, BitMine is expected to generate substantial cash flow from Ethereum staking rewards and its strong cash reserves. The company currently holds approximately 4.2 million ETH and about $1 billion in cash. Under current conditions, this could generate an estimated $402–433 million in pre-tax revenue. If ETH rises to $12,000 and the company controls around 5% of Ethereum’s total supply, pre-tax revenue could expand to between $2 billion and $2.2 billion.
