Today's crypto market saw Bitcoin continue its downward trend, hitting a new local low below $39,000. This analysis covers the current market situation for altcoins Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) as of Tuesday, January 23.
Cardano (ADA)
ADA, like many other altcoins, is currently in a downward trend. The asset has recently broken through another support level, reaching a local low of $0.450.
Given its strong correlation with BTC, a further decline in ADA appears likely. Potential support levels for sellers might be found at $0.430 and in the range of $0.397–$0.416.
For a reversal of this downward trend, BTC needs to stabilize above the resistance level of $42,000, which could positively influence altcoins, including Cardano. In such a scenario, ADA might test resistance zones at $0.471–$0.486 and $0.517–$0.536, possibly signaling a return to an upward trajectory.

Solana (SOL)
Although Solana's market trend mirrors the general bearish sentiment, its price has shown more resilience compared to other altcoins amid BTC’s decline. Currently, SOL is trading within the support zone of $79.1–$84.6.
The likelihood of further correction is high. The next buying opportunities may emerge at $73.1 and within the range of $61.8–$68.9, where a market reaction could temporarily halt the downtrend.
Should BTC regain bullish momentum, Solana could seize the opportunity to climb. To achieve this, SOL needs to rise above resistance levels at $91–$95.6 and $102.1–$107.3. This could pave the way for SOL to continue its growth trajectory and potentially set new yearly highs.
