Updated: Jan 12 2026- Market Structure Breakout: After over four years of compressed price action, the broader altcoin market has successfully broken above a long-term falling wedge structure, marking the end of upside limitations since mid-2021, with analysts deeming this breakout as significantly structurally important, potentially signaling the onset of sustained expansion phases.
- Capital Flow Trends: Data indicates a shift in capital from defensive investments to high-liquidity, utility-driven networks, with five projects (Sei, Jupiter, Curve DAO, Lido DAO, and Injective) gaining attention for their strong alignment with this market transition, showcasing technical and structural convergence across different sectors.
- Sei Network Expansion: Sei, designed as an execution layer network for trading applications, has recently reclaimed a multi-month resistance zone, with analysts highlighting the rising volume during consolidation as supportive of the technical recovery narrative, indicating robust market demand.
- Lido DAO Demand: Lido DAO continues to reflect strong staking demand across multiple proof-of-stake networks, with prices gradually recovering above a long-standing descending trendline, although this phenomenon remains dependent on Ethereum staking inflows, yet the current market structure favors continuation rather than abrupt reversals.
