3 Altcoins That Could Hit All-Time Highs In First Week Of January 2026

Markets 2026-01-06 09:52

The new year opened on a strong note, with Bitcoin climbing to $93,000 after several days of gains. The bullish momentum spread across the broader crypto market, lifting altcoins and pushing many closer to their record highs.

Thus, BeInCrypto has analysed three such altcoins that have the potential to reach their all-time highs this week.

Canton (CC)

CC trades near $0.143, sitting just over 24% below its all-time high of $0.177 set on the first day of 2026. The altcoin remains within recovery range, with recent consolidation suggesting the market is gauging whether momentum can rebuild.

The Chaikin Money Flow continues to hold steady without a downtick, signaling sustained capital inflows. This stability indicates the holder’s conviction remains intact. Continued accumulation could support a rebound and help CC attempt a renewed push toward the $0.177 all-time high.

Downside risk persists if bullish momentum fails to materialize. Premature selling could pressure the price toward the $0.133 support. A breakdown below this level would weaken the structure and invalidate the bullish thesis, shifting focus back to short-term downside risk.

Pippin (PIPPIN)

PIPPIN trades near $0.455 at the time of writing, positioning the altcoin for a potential rally in the coming week. Price remains capped by the $0.514 resistance, a level that has consistently limited upside attempts since late December.

The $0.514 barrier has stalled progress since year-end. PIPPIN’s all-time high, set on December 24, remains about 58% above current levels. The RSI holding above the neutral 50.0 mark signals strength. Broader market support could drive a move toward $0.600 and $0.720.

Selling pressure remains the key downside risk. Continued distribution could extend the decline. A breakdown below $0.434 would weaken momentum and may push PIPPIN toward the $0.366 support, invalidating the bullish setup.

River (RIVER)

RIVER formed its current all-time high at $19.28 on the second day of 2026. From current levels, the altcoin requires a 43% rise to revisit that peak. While notable, such a move remains achievable during periods of strong market momentum.

RIVER gained 11% today, trading near $13.64 at the time of writing. Holding above the $11.71 support strengthens its structure. With a strong 0.72 correlation to Bitcoin, continued BTC upside could propel RIVER toward the $19.28 all-time high.

Profit-taking presents the primary downside risk. If selling pressure increases, RIVER may fall below the $11.71 support. A breakdown could send price toward the $8.39 level, which would invalidate the bullish thesis and shift focus to downside protection.
