Bitcoin’s latest drop, while trying to hold on to $94,000, abruptly halted the recovery seen in altcoins, leaving cryptocurrency investors uneasy as the weekend approaches. Although geopolitical risks are waning, eager anticipation surrounds the Supreme Court’s tariff decision, now postponed to January 20. The question arises: what is the outlook for FARTCOIN and ZEC?
FARTCOIN Price Prediction
Once a popular altcoin last year with significant gains, FARTCOIN is anticipated to lead the next bullish wave by 2026. However, unpredictable market dynamics have stifled its potential rise. Despite this, an analyst using the pseudonym Altcoin Sherpa maintains a perspective akin to the market environment leading to March 2025’s rise.
Sherpa commented, asserting that FARTCOIN faced a brief period of fluctuation and volatility following its significant movement in March 2025. Although the market structure has altered, he believes the coin might still undergo a similar progression now, suggesting a potential surge toward higher levels.
The analyst also shared a Bitcoin chart suggesting that substantial movement in the short term might not occur. BTC has failed to break significant resistance for months, and if the recent $98,000 test repeats its past patterns, it could mark a short-term peak.
He further stated that while more fluctuations might occur, a definitive market trend remains elusive for now. Although some altcoins like MET have shown activity, a broader market trend is unlikely, with continuation of price actions from January 1-2 expected.
ZEC Coin Insights
ZEC Coin suffered after its team’s collective departure, with XMR benefiting the most. Analyst Ali Martinez interprets the triangular formation in the chart as a precursor to a potential 40% movement. If support at $371 breaks, a test of $241 could follow.
Conversely, surpassing $484 could target a rise to $744. However, the general market sentiment isn’t supportive, and privacy-focused altcoins have seen Monero regain prominence. A downward break is more likely if BTC loses its $94,000 and $90,000 supports.
ETH slipping below $3,300 today served as a cautionary signal for altcoins.
