Bitcoin, ETH In Consolidation, Meme and AI Coins Fall
Crypto Market Today Jan 25: Cryptocurrency prices today have shown notable resiliency, with BTC and top coins mainly preventing a downfall. While Bitcoin’s price held at the $105K level as the week came to a close, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP also managed to remain in the green territory.
Simultaneously, the global crypto market cap jumped nearly 1% over the past day to rest at $3.58 trillion on Saturday. However, traders appear to be cautious amid the broader market turbulence, as flagged by a 34% decrease in the intraday global market trading volume. Meanwhile, meme coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and PEPE also gained roughly 1% intraday. AI coins such as NEAR, ICP, and FIL also followed, mimicking gains.
So, let’s delve deeper into some of the most attention-nabbing cryptocurrencies for the day and their price movements on January 25.
Crypto Market Today: Market Resilient As BTC, ETH, XRP Prevent Downfall

Nevertheless, Bitcoin’s dominance rose by 0.20% from yesterday, reaching 57.84%.

Meanwhile, amid the broader crypto market volatility, analyst Ali Martinez’s recent X post has raised severe concerns among traders and investors globally. “There won’t be an alt season,” the analyst stated on Saturday.
Notably, this bearish prediction comes against the backdrop of the rising number of alt projects in the market, which appears to have impacted the supply dynamics. Ali states that “today, there are over 36.4 million altcoins, compared to fewer than 3,000 altcoins during the 2017-2018 alt season and even fewer than 500 altcoins in 2013-2014.” As a result, speculations of no alts season have also prevailed across the sector.
