This hasn’t been a great week for crypto.
Bitcoin [BTC] slipped toward the $78K mark at press time, while Ethereum [ETH] gave up ground too. Most major tokens spent the week in the red, and optimism is a bit harder to find.
So buckle up, grab your coffee, and settle in! Here’s a look at the biggest moves from the past week.
Weekly winners
Hyperliquid [HYPE] swims against the tide
While most of the crypto market struggled this week, Hyperliquid [HYPE] stood out.
The chart saw HYPE pushing high over the past few sessions, rallying from the low $20s to test the $32-$34 zone before calming down.
Even after the pullback, price was well above recent support levels, so buyers were still active.

This came despite a weaker response over the week to the Fed’s latest policy decision and Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference.
Adding context, AMBCrypto previously reported that Hyperliquid’s market dominance jumped from around 18% in December to over 33% by the end of January.
That growing share is turning into tangible interest.
Stable [STABLE] extends climb ahead of upgrade
Stable [STABLE] also had a strong week. The token trended steadily higher through the week, from the mid-$0.01 range to spike near $0.026, before easing back toward $0.023 at press time.
RSI held above neutral levels, so buyers were still in control despite the short-term pullback.
For newer readers, StableChain is part of a growing group of payment-focused blockchains designed to remove common frictions like gas tokens for transfers.
It’s backed by Tether, and the recent positive USAT update likely helped fuel the move.
AMBCrypto previously reported that the platform is expecting an upgrade on the 4th of February, which will introduce gas waivers and smoother payment integrations.
Canton [CC] showed pace… before a reality check
Canton’s [CC] price pushed higher this week, rallying close to 29% from the $0.14 base to a local high near $0.18 before dipping.
The breakout was clean, with strong bullish candles and expanding volume confirming genuine participation. RSI was in the low 60s while CMF stayed positive, proving steady capital inflows.
That said, the latest pullback saw buyers taking a breather. Short-term consolidation won’t be too surprising.
Other notable winners
Away from the spotlight, a few newer names delivered standout moves. Zora [ZORA] stole the show with a big 38% surge in the last 24 hours.
Kite [KITE] and Sentient [SENT] weren’t far behind either, posting weekly gains of 23% and 38%, respectively. Smaller-cap tokens have gone up against the great dip of this week.
Weekly losers
Story [IP] stumbles with sell pressure
The last week saw Story’s [IP] price slide, shedding over 30% from the $2.10 region to trade closer to $1.40. The sell-off pushed IP below its mid-range Bollinger Band, with candles leaning toward the lower band.

RSI slipped into the low 30s, while CMF stayed deeply negative. Unless buyers step in soon, IP may continue to drift lower or consolidate at depressed levels.
Solana [SOL] slips and falls
Solana’s [SOL] last week went decisively bearish. Price dropped roughly 15% from the $120-125 zone to just above $105, with sellers firmly in control.
The decline was good enough to push RSI below 30, while MACD was deep in negative territory too. Oversold conditions could invite a short-term bounce, but the greater structure still looks fragile.
World Liberty Financial [WLFI] sinks despite headline buzz
World Liberty Financial’s [WLFI] past week saw a brutal price fall of roughly 26%, tumbling from the $0.16-0.17 range to near $0.12. The drop pushed RSI below 30, and DMI showed sellers clearly dominating pace.

Notably, the decline came even as reports surfaced of a senior UAE royal acquiring a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500 million. That headline intrigue hasn’t translated into immediate price support.
Other notable losers
Losses weren’t limited to a single corner of the market. Dogecoin [DOGE] slipped roughly 15%, while Zcash [ZEC] fared worse, dropping close to 18% over the same period.
Sui [SUI] led the downside among this group, shedding around 22% as sellers remained aggressive.
Putting a messy week behind us…
The market has rewarded conviction in some places and punished it in others.
Short-term moves can be loud, but they’re rarely final. Zoom out, protect your capital, and remember that one volatile stretch doesn’t define the trend.
Back again next week!
Final Thoughts
- A weak week for Bitcoin and Ethereum didn’t stop selective altcoins from posting gains.
- Short-term volatility is high, but not directionless.
