Jakarta, Pintu News – The first week of the year started on a positive note, thanks to the macro-financial market response to the US attack on Venezuela being neutral in nature. This makes the rest of the week look quite optimistic.

In line with this situation, here is an analysis of three altcoins that investors should pay attention to in the first week of January, based on the BeInCrypto report.

Stellar (XLM)

On January 5, 2026, XLM was trading at around $0.233, registering a gain of almost 16% in the last seven days.

Despite the recovery, Stellar’s (XLM) price movement is still held back by the downtrend line that has capped the movement for over a month, so there is no confirmation of a sustained trend reversal.

To break out of this downtrend, XLM needs to break the resistance level at $0.241. The Parabolic SAR indicator is below the current price, indicating an ongoing uptrend.

Continued capital inflows are required to maintain this momentum. If demand remains strong, XLM could potentially test the $0.241 level in the next few trading sessions.

However, if it fails to break the downtrend, XLM is at risk of a decline. Re-emerging selling pressure could push the price down to the support level at $0.220. If the price breaks below this level, the bullish scenario will be invalidated, and the price could continue to drop down to $0.206.

Render (RENDER)

Render (RENDER) surged 57% in the past week, making it one of the best performing tokens. Along with meme coins, artificial intelligence (AI)-based cryptos have also seen a surge in interest since the beginning of 2026.

The renewed interest in the sector has driven both speculative and fundamental demand, making RENDER one of the main beneficiaries in a risk-on market environment.

RENDER’s rally seems to be supported by strong capital flows. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator remains well above the zero line, signaling continued accumulation. High token holder participation increases the likelihood that the rally will continue.

If this momentum is maintained, RENDER has the potential to continue rising past the $2.18 and $2.34 levels, even touching a two-month high.

However, downside risks remain if investors start realizing profits. Increased selling pressure could push the price of RENDER down below the psychological level of $2.00. If the price breaks this level, the support at $1.71 could be the next target – and the bullish scenario would be invalidated, shifting the short-term outlook towards consolidation or correction.

Onyxcoin (XCN)

One altcoin worth keeping an eye on in the first week of January is Onyxcoin (XCN), which surged sharply in the last 24 hours with gains of up to 41% at its peak.

On January 5, XCN was trading around $0.00595 after again failing to break the $0.00630 level. This level has been rejected three times in the past six weeks, making it a very important resistance zone.

After losing momentum in late December – as indicated by the RSI indicator – XCN is now showing signs of renewed strength. Buyers seem to be coming back in, supporting the current price recovery.

To keep the rally going, XCN needs to successfully retest the $0.00535 level as support. This success will confirm stability and keep the short-term bullish structure.

However, downside risks remain if the support fails to hold. If the price drops below $0.00535, market confidence could weaken and XCN risks further declines.

In this scenario, the price could slide to the next support at $0.00477, which would invalidate the bullish scenario and erase most of the recent gains.
