Dogecoin, XRP and Cardano Hit 2024 Lows as Alts Fall Harder Than Bitcoin

Published at 2026-01-29 20:45:28

Markets turned notably risk-off on Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026, as Bitcoin slid and a group of major altcoins — notably Dogecoin, XRP and Cardano, along with Litecoin — tumbled to their lowest prices in over a year. The sell-off outpaced Bitcoin’s decline, a reminder that non-BTC assets remain more exposed to headline-driven flows and speculative positioning. This divergence matters because altcoins often lead both rallies and reversals; their weakness can sap broader market confidence and pressure leveraged positions. Traders and investors will be watching liquidity, support levels and whether Bitcoin stabilizes on its own or follows the altcoin rout. For longer-term holders, the episode underscores ongoing volatility and the need to reassess risk exposure across portfolios.
