The crypto market seems to be stabilizing from the drop earlier this week, and it’s already mostly back in green – with Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and Solana (SOL) showing some space for bigger expansion. Meanwhile, PlutoChain ($PLUTO) might draw whale interest by bringing AI and smart contracts to improve Bitcoin’s network. PlutoChain is also fully EMV compatible and offers two second block time on its own L2 chain. Bitcoin (BTC) – Remaining Muted Over the Past Couple of Sessions Bitcoin’s (BTC) price has dropped in recent sessions, hovering between $100,500 and $105,000 after failing to break $107,000 on Thursday. However, the top cryptocurrency has bounced back from Monday’s sharp drop below $100,000. Some analysts believe that if buyers hold above $105,000, BTC could climb to $110,000 and hit a new all-time high. Ethereum (ETH) – Red January But Preparing for Green February ETH traders are preparing for a possible rally, expecting a strong February. Historically, ETH gains the most in February. However, it looks set to end January in the red due to concerns about the Ethereum Foundation and a shaky market. If ETH breaks above the resistance and turns it into support, it could manage to get strong assistants, pushing ETH past $3,500 and possibly $4,000. Solana (SOL) – Momentum Slowing Down But Still Looking Strong Solana (SOL) has lost momentum this week, struggling to break past $240. Several factors are driving its recent downward trend. A marketwide selloff ahead of the Fed’s interest rate decision has negatively affected its price – but they did leave interest rates unchanged, making the current session see SOL down only 1% and trading at around $230. Ripple (XRP) – Coming Back From its Sudden Drop Ripple (XRP) came back from its rising trendline on Monday after dropping to a low of $2.65. Buyers have kept XRP above $3 despite its ups and downs with the usual selling pressure, showing strong support. Since hitting a $3.39 high on January 16, XRP has remained relatively quiet. PlutoChain ($PLUTO) Could Expand Bitcoin’s Capabilities In Areas Such As DeFi and Beyond PlutoChain ($PLUTO) could solve one of Bitcoin’s biggest issues – slow transactions. While Bitcoin is the top blockchain asset, its 10-minute block time makes it too slow for fast applications. That’s where PlutoChain could come in as a Layer-2 solution that offers two second block time. Early testnet results are strong, with the network handling over 43,200 transactions daily. It’s not just speed, PlutoChain is trying to connect different blockchains. It merges Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s EVM compatibility , creating a space friendly for developers. This could bring DeFi apps and NFT markets to Bitcoin, attracting new users. Governance is also in focus – as PlutoChain lets the community vote on major changes instead of relying on top-down control. Security is a priority too. The project has passed strict audits from SolidProof , QuillAudits , and Assure DeFi , boosting trust in the network. Final words We’ve been looking at a lot of green zones since Trump’s inauguration, and whales stay focused on popular tokens. Meanwhile, PlutoChain ($PLUTO) could steal the spotlight. New hybrid Layer-2 solution that could show Bitcoin’s hidden potential. By adding smart contracts, dApps, and DeFi features, PlutoChain might connect Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s flexibility. —————– Disclaimer: It’s important to note that participating in presales carries risks, including market volatility and potential project delays.
