3 Altcoins Gaining Attention This Weekend – Breakout or Breakdown?

Updated
January 17, 2026

Jakarta, Pintu News – The upcoming weekend may see many altcoins experience a downturn, caused by various factors such as market conditions or external developments.

Here is an analysis of three altcoins that investors need to pay attention to this weekend, according to the BeInCrypto page.

Polygon (POL)

Polygon (POL) started to attract investors’ attention again since the beginning of the year after setting a new record low on January 1, 2026. The altcoin briefly dropped to $0.098, which sparked speculative interest and attracted buyers looking for bargain buying opportunities amid overall market stabilization efforts.

After reaching this low, POL rebounded by 37.6% and has now managed to make the 50-day EMA a support level. If the price manages to break $0.138 again, the recovery potential will become stronger. This success could push the price towards $0.155, driven by new capital flows from buyers at the previous All-Time Low.

However, there are downside risks if the bullish momentum weakens. POL could slip to the $0.129 area if it loses local support at $0.138. A drop below $0.129 would invalidate the bullish scenario and erase the recent gains, while reopening short-term bearish pressure with a potential drop to $0.119.

Aptos (APT)

Aptos (APT) faces significant external catalysts ahead of its scheduled token unlock in the near future. Approximately 11.31 million APT will enter circulation, directly affecting supply dynamics.

Events like this often increase volatility as the market reassesses valuations along with changes in the number of available tokens and short-term sentiment.

This additional supply could bring tokens worth around $20.58 million into a bearish market environment. APT itself has dropped 7.6% in the last 48 hours and is currently trading at around $1.81, near the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. If this level fails to hold, the price could potentially drop to $1.56 or even to the record low (ATL) of $1.41.

However, a bullish scenario is still possible if demand strengthens. If APT manages to bounce off the 23.6% Fibonacci level, it could boost the upside attempt towards above $1.96. If the price can break $2.05 again at the 38.2% retracement level, then the positive momentum will be confirmed and the bearish scenario will fall.

Midnight (NIGHT)

NIGHT has had a hard time attracting strong investor support in recent sessions. After failing to break the resistance at $0.1000, the altcoin dropped by almost 26%. Currently, NIGHT is trading at around $0.0743, reflecting weak demand and declining confidence from market participants.

This decline is now forming a clear downward trend. The Parabolic SAR indicator has turned into resistance, reinforcing the bearish pressure. NIGHT also lost support at $0.0753, which increases the risk of further decline. Under current conditions, the altcoin is still vulnerable to drop towards $0.0609.

Even so, a reversal is still possible if the low price attracts buying interest. If NIGHT’s popularity rises again, new capital flows could come in. A recovery towards $1,000 would be a signal of renewed strength.

If the level is successfully broken, NIGHT has the potential to rise towards ATH at $1,200, while canceling the bearish scenario.
