WIF: What Do Momentum Indicators Say? January 19, 2026 Analysis

Momentum in WIF is predominantly bearish; the negative MACD histogram and price remaining below EMA20 confirm short-term selling pressure. Although RSI is in the neutral zone, signals indicating trend weakness dominate.

Trend Status and Momentum Analysis

As of January 19, 2026, WIF is trading at $0.35 and has seen a 5.36% drop in the last 24 hours, with the daily range limited to $0.31-$0.38. Volume came in at $223.21 million, pointing to a distribution pattern supporting the decline. The overall trend direction is downward, and momentum indicators confirm this weakness. Price is positioned below EMA20 ($0.37), reinforcing the short-term bearish bias. The Supertrend indicator is also signaling bearish, with $0.44 resistance standing as a strong barrier. Multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis identified 13 strong levels: 3 supports/3 resistances on 1D, 1 each on 3D, and 3 supports/2 resistances confluence on 1W. This confluence suggests downward momentum pressure may continue, though RSI’s neutral zone keeps short-term consolidation on the table.

RSI Indicator: Buy or Sell?

RSI Divergence Analysis

RSI (14) is currently at 46.04 and positioned in the neutral zone. While this level signals neither overbought nor oversold conditions, it indicates a relative slowdown compared to the recent price decline. No regular bearish divergence is observed on the daily chart; as price makes new lows, RSI holds at similar levels, which may imply momentum is starting to exhaust. In the search for hidden divergence, there’s a slight bullish hidden divergence trace on the short-term 4-hour chart: Price makes new lows below EMA20 while RSI holds higher lows. However, this signal is not yet strong and lacks volume confirmation. Weekly RSI is hovering around 42, indicating the overall trend retains its bearish character. For divergence formation, RSI needs to drop below 30 while price holds at supports; the current 46 level says selling momentum is slowing but not reversing.

Overbought/Oversold Zones

RSI at 46 is in the lower half of the 30-70 neutral band and not approaching the oversold (below 30) zone. This shows WIF is searching for a bottom but panic selling hasn’t ended. Daily RSI settling below 50 confirms momentum remains dominated by selling. If RSI drops to 30, bounce potential increases, as past similar levels saw 20-30% recoveries. Currently no overbought conditions; if RSI approaches 70 on a move to resistances, selling pressure could intensify.

MACD Signals and Histogram Dynamics

MACD is generally bearish; the signal line is below the MACD line, and the histogram is expanding in negative territory. This negative histogram confirms strengthening selling momentum and ongoing bearish crossover. We observe the histogram bars have partially narrowed recently, which could be an early warning of momentum peaking and slowing. On the daily chart, MACD (12,26,9) is at -0.012 with the signal line around -0.008; the gap sustains selling pressure. On the 4-hour, negative histogram bars are lengthening, showing short-term downside supported by volume. For a nearby bullish crossover, the histogram needs to approach zero and turn positive, but current dynamics favor bears. When confirmed by volume, MACD histogram expansion increases the odds of testing $0.33 support.

EMA Systems and Trend Strength

Short-Term EMAs

Price is trading below EMA20 ($0.37), indicating a clear short-term bearish trend. There’s congestion between EMA10 and EMA20, with ribbon narrowing signaling momentum loss. Volume increase is required for price to break above EMA20; current positioning says bears are in control. Short-term ribbon dynamics indicate weak trend strength and a need for an EMA20 test for a potential bounce.

Medium/Long-Term EMA Supports

EMA50 at $0.39 and EMA200 at $0.42 form resistances. The ribbon structure is downward sloping, keeping long-term trend strength bearish. Medium-term EMAs (50-100) cluster around $0.34 as support; a hold there could trigger ribbon flattening. However, a volume-less upside move will draw selling from EMAs as resistance. EMA ribbon width is narrowing in trend strength measurement, signaling preparation for a momentum shift.

Bitcoin Correlation

Bitcoin is at $93,167 with a 2.26% drop but still in general uptrend, though Supertrend signals bearish. Altcoins like WIF are highly correlated to BTC (~0.85); if BTC breaks $92,933 support, selling pressure in altcoins intensifies. BTC resistances at $93,866-$95,535; rejection from here could lead WIF to test $0.33 support. If BTC dominance rises (current bearish Supertrend warning), WIF momentum weakens further. Conversely, BTC breaking $95,535 could enable a WIF rally to $0.40 resistance, but current BTC caution is a red flag for altcoins.

Momentum Outcome and Expectations

WIF momentum analysis shows bearish dominance: RSI at 46 neutral but divergence weak, MACD negative histogram expanding, price below EMAs, and volume confirming downside. Key supports at $0.3376 (high score), $0.3018, and $0.2610; a hold there could drive RSI to 30 and create bullish divergence. Resistances at $0.3978 (strong) and $0.4401. Bull target $0.6190 low probability, bear target $0.1128 aligns with current momentum. Volume distribution supports selling, MTF confluence strengthens downside. Short-term consolidation expected, but BTC weakness could trigger. Momentum confluence favors selling; prepare for support tests.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
