Jakarta, Pintu News – The crypto market started 2026 strong, led by a surge in meme coin prices. Some of the best-performing altcoins this week came from the meme coin category. However, this rally may start to weaken in the next few days as selling pressure increases.
Here is an analysis of three meme coins that experienced a sharp rise, but have the potential to experience a trend reversal in the second week of January, citing the BeInCrypto report.
USELESS emerged as one of the best performing tokens since the beginning of 2026. The meme coin recorded a 78% gain in four days, pushing its price to $0.1118.

High speculative interest and improved market sentiment were the main drivers of this rise, making USELESS one of the standout high-volatility assets at the beginning of the year.
The price surge helped USELESS reclaim its 50-day exponential moving average (50-day EMA) as short-term support, signaling potential stability in the near future. However, sharp rallies like this on meme coins often trigger profit-taking.

If selling pressure increases, the price could drop to around $0.0950. Missing this level could trigger a deeper drop, although not necessarily back to the $0.0690 level.
If the bullish momentum remains strong this week, USELESS has a chance to test the resistance at $0.1304. If it manages to break this level, a path towards $0.1500 could open up. However, this move requires continued conviction from holders as well as a reduction in selling pressure after the recent price surge.
The price of Brett (BRETT) surged 45% in the last four days and is currently trading around $0.0195. The meme coin now faces a key resistance zone between $0.0203 to $0.0212 – a supply area that has historically capped the upside and is likely to test the strength of buyers again.
Technically, this region is worth watching out for. BRETT was previously rejected several times when trying to break out of this resistance range in previous rallies. If the price pattern follows the historical trend, a potential reversal could occur.
In that scenario, BRETT prices may drop back to the $0.0183 support level, where buyers could try to resist selling pressure and stabilize prices.

However, a continuation of the bullish trend is still possible if momentum strengthens. A decisive breakout above $0.0212 would signal renewed demand. If this resistance is successfully surpassed, BRETT could potentially test the $0.0224 level.
Sustained buying above this level could thwart the bearish scenario and open up an upside opportunity towards $0.0247.

The price of Bonk (BONK) briefly rose 23% on January 5, extending the gain to 54% since the beginning of the year. The meme coin is currently trading around the $0.00001154 level. Although it is still showing strong momentum, technical signals are starting to indicate a potential reversal as early signs of exhaustion appear on the buyers’ side.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently above the overbought threshold of 70.0 – a level often associated with profit-taking. At this point, accumulation usually starts to get saturated, so selling pressure tends to increase.
With the $0.00001216 level being resistance, BONK is at risk of dropping below $0.00001103 and testing support at $0.00001009.

Even so, a continuation of the uptrend is still possible if investors do not rush to sell. Consistent demand could push BONK through $0.00001216 and towards its next target at $0.00001353.
However, sharp rallies often hide the risk of market saturation, meaning assets that look attractive after a quick spike could actually have high downside potential.
