3 Altcoins to Watch In The Final Week Of January 2026

The crypto market took a turn for the worse in the last few days and while the macro financial conditions are showing signs of improvement. Nevertheless, altcoins are leaning more on the external network developments to turn for the better.

BeInCrypto has analysed three such altcoins that could note a shift in the last week of January.

Hedera (HBAR)

HBAR trades near $0.1058 at the time of writing, extending a downtrend that began more than three months ago. Persistent bearish market conditions have slowed Hedera’s growth. Price action remains under pressure, reflecting cautious sentiment as investors assess whether the prolonged decline is nearing exhaustion.

Despite weakness, signs of accumulation are emerging. The Money Flow Index has turned higher, indicating rising buying pressure and fading sell-side momentum. This shift suggests dip-buying activity is increasing. If sustained, HBAR could attempt a break above $0.109, opening the path toward $0.114 and $0.120.

Downside risk remains if key support fails. A decisive move below the $0.103 level would weaken the structure. Under that scenario, HBAR could slide toward $0.099 or lower, invalidating the bullish thesis and extending the broader downtrend.

River (RIVER)

RIVER surged 198% over the past week, trading near $80 at the time of writing. The rally pushed the altcoin to a new all-time high of $84 during intraday trading. Strong momentum reflects aggressive buying as traders rotated into high-performing assets amid improving market sentiment.

Technical indicators confirm the bullish trend. The Parabolic SAR remains below the candlesticks, signaling an active uptrend. Sustained capital inflows continue to support price expansion. If momentum holds, RIVER could extend gains toward the $100 psychological level and potentially reach the $115 target.

Downside risk emerges if profit-taking accelerates. Heavy selling could break the $60 support level, weakening the structure. Under that scenario, RIVER price may retrace sharply toward $36, invalidating the bullish thesis and signaling a deeper corrective phase.

US Oil (USOR)

US Oil (USOR) is set to launch next week as a decentralized on-chain reserve index on Solana. The token offers digital exposure to physical oil reserves, using transparent supply reconciliation and market feeds to ensure security and accountability.

Fundamentals appear strong, with 96% of USOR’s supply currently locked. Heightened geopolitical focus on US control over Venezuelan oil adds relevance. These dynamics position USOR as one of the most closely watched altcoins heading into late January and early February.
