OP Technical Analysis Jan 29

Today’s short-term outlook for OP shows dominant bear signals; risk of rapid decline increases if $0.2853 support breaks.

Short-Term Market Outlook

OP is trading at the $0.29 level on the morning of January 29, 2026, following a negative trajectory with a 4.15% decline over the last 24 hours. The intraday range is squeezed in the narrow $0.29-$0.30 band, with volume remaining at a moderate $88.93M. Technical indicators are giving clear bear signals: RSI at 36.63 is approaching oversold territory while selling pressure persists, MACD confirms bearish momentum with a negative histogram. Supertrend is bearish and exerting pressure above the $0.31 resistance line. Price is positioned below EMA20 ($0.30), confirming the short-term downtrend. 9 strong levels detected across 1D/3D/1W timeframes (1D: 2S/3R, 3D: 1S/2R, 1W: 1S/2R), overall trend downtrend. Volatility low over the last 24-48 hours but sudden moves expected due to BTC correlation. News flow calm, keeping technical levels in focus. High-risk day for short-term traders; keep capital management tight, use narrow stop-losses.

Intraday Critical Levels

Nearby Support Zones

Immediate support at $0.2853 (strength score 86/100), a critical pivot and volume accumulation zone on 1D timeframe. If broken, watch $0.2733 (64/100) for quick test, overlapping with 3D support. Deeper drop targets $0.2283. These supports offer quick invalidation points for intraday scalps; if it doesn’t hold above $0.2853, close long positions.

Nearby Resistance Zones

Near resistance starts at $0.2903 (64/100), followed by strong barrier at $0.3048 (78/100) – EMA20 and Supertrend resistance intersect here. Upper level $0.3319 (62/100) represents 1W resistance. These levels ideal for narrow intraday ranges; momentum may increase on $0.2903 break but watch for low-volume tests.

Momentum and Speed Analysis

Short-term momentum bearish: MACD histogram expanding negatively, RSI declining to 36 showing selling speed but short squeeze risk in oversold. Supertrend bearish signal rejected above $0.31, speed indicators (e.g., Stochastic) showing downward divergence. EMA crossovers down on 4H chart, weakness confirmed by declining volume. In 24-48 hour window, watch for $0.2853-$0.2903 breakout for momentum shift; low volatility limits scalp opportunities but quick spikes possible. Risk: False breakouts common, tight stops mandatory.

Short-Term Scenarios

Upside Scenario

Close above $0.2903 and volume-driven attack to $0.3048 activates bullish: Upside target $0.3185 (52 score). Trigger: RSI 40+ rebound and MACD zero line approach. Supportive if BTC breaks $88,686 resistance. Invalidation: Close below $0.2853 invalidates scenario, exit longs. This setup offers 24-hour bounce opportunity for swing traders, 5-8% potential but low probability (30%).

Downside Scenario

Break of $0.2853 and test of $0.2733: Opens path to downside $0.2283. Trigger: MACD new low and volume increase. Accelerates if BTC breaks $87,396 support. Invalidation: Hold above $0.2903. High probability (70%), ideal for scalp shorts but $0.2283 depth risky. 15+% drop possible in 48 hours, watch position sizing.

Bitcoin Correlation

BTC at $88,250 (-0.89%) in downtrend, Supertrend bearish. OP highly correlated with BTC (0.85+%), OP tests $0.2853 if BTC breaks $87,396-$86,606 supports. Watch BTC resistances $88,686-$89,595; BTC bounce triggers OP bounce but rising dominance makes it altcoin-unfriendly. Key BTC levels: Support $87,396 (critical), Resistance $88,686. OP traders prioritize BTC tape.

Daily Summary and Watch Points

– Key watch: $0.2853 support and $0.2903 resistance.
– Momentum shift: RSI 40+ or MACD flip.
– BTC trigger: $87,396 break for OP short, $88,686 break for long bias.
– Risk: High volatility, 1-2% risk/position rule.
– Volume spikes signal scalps.

U.S. Senate panel to hold crypto tax policy hearing on October 1

U.S. Senate panel to hold crypto tax policy hearing on October 1

The Senate Banking Committee will hold a public hearing on October 1 to go after one of the most confusing messes in U.S. finance right now:- how crypto gets taxed. The committee confirmed the date in a notice first reported by Eleanor Terrett, and witnesses lined up include Jason Somensatto, Policy Director at Coin Center; Andrea S. Kramer, founding member of ASKramer Law; Lawrence Zlatkin, Vice President of Taxation at Coinbase; and Annette Nellen, Chair of the Digital Asset Taxation Working Group under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. This hearing is meant to address a problem that’s pissed off crypto users for years, which is why every small crypto transaction, even a few dollars, triggers a tax headache. The Senate is being pushed to finally look at de minimis exemptions, which would let people use crypto for daily stuff (like grabbing a coffee) without reporting every damn thing to the IRS. Trump administration backs small crypto tax relief Cryptopolitan reported back in July that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had said that the Trump administration still wants to push through the de minimis exemption in upcoming laws. “The president did signal his support for de minimis exemption for crypto and the administration continues to be in support of that,” Karoline said. She explained that right now, using crypto for basic purchases is too complicated because of tax rules, but a change could make everyday payments smoother. “We are definitely receptive to it to make crypto payments easier and more efficient for those who seek to use crypto as simple as buying a cup of coffee — of course, right now, that cannot happen, but with the de minimis exemption perhaps it could in the future.” Karoline also revealed that President Trump plans to host a signing ceremony for the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin-focused bill expected to pass soon. That bill is part of his administration’s broader goal to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the world.” The Senate has already tried and failed to deal with this issue before. In 2020, two Democratic lawmakers proposed the Virtual Currency Tax Fairness Act, which aimed to ignore tax on crypto gains below $200. It didn’t even make it to a vote. A similar version in 2022 also died on the floor. Then came a broader bill in 2025 called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which covered everything from taxes to border control. Senator Cynthia Lummis, a Republican from Wyoming, tried to get a crypto exemption added in for gains under $300, but that proposal got scrapped before the final bill passed. President Trump signed it into law on July 4 without the crypto language attached. Right now, the IRS says every single crypto transaction must be reported, even if there’s no gain or the amount is tiny. If you spend $5 of bitcoin, that’s a taxable event. The idea behind the de minimis exemption is to cut through that nonsense and give users room to breathe. But it hasn’t been easy. Lawmakers face real obstacles. First, the federal government depends on tax income. If it suddenly lets millions of small crypto transactions go untaxed, that means less money coming in. And there’s no sign yet of how they’ll offset that shortfall. Even with strong voices like Cynthia and Jason in the room, the Senate still hasn’t landed on a solution. October 1 might give them a chance to do something useful. Or it might be another meeting where everyone talks and nothing happens. Get seen where it counts.
