The post 3 Altcoins To Watch In The First Week of January 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The first week of the year is starting out on a positive note, owing to the macro financial market response to the US’s attack on Venezuela being neutral. This makes the rest of the week appear rather bullish. In line with the same, BeInCrypto has analysed three altcoins that investors should watch in the first week of January. Sponsored Sponsored Stellar (XLM) XLM trades near $0.233 at the time of writing, posting nearly 16% gains over the past seven days. Despite the recovery, Stellar remains capped by a downtrend line that has constrained price action for more than a month, limiting confirmation of a sustained reversal. Breaking the downtrend requires XLM to reclaim the $0.241 resistance. The Parabolic SAR sits below the price, signaling an active uptrend. Continued capital inflows are necessary to sustain momentum. If demand holds, XLM could challenge $0.241 in the coming sessions. Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. XLM Price Analysis.

A breakdown below this level would invalidate the bullish thesis and could push the price further down to $0.206. Sponsored Sponsored Render (RENDER) RENDER surged 57% over the past week, ranking among the top-performing tokens. Alongside meme coins, AI-focused cryptocurrencies have gained strong traction since 2026 began. This renewed sector interest has driven speculative and fundamental demand, positioning RENDER as a notable beneficiary of the broader risk-on environment. RENDER’s rally appears supported by solid capital inflows. The Chaikin Money Flow remains well above the zero line, signaling sustained accumulation. Strong holder participation increases the likelihood of continuation. If momentum holds, RENDER could extend gains beyond $2.18 and $2.34, reaching a two-month high. RENDER Price Analysis.
