Gate.io News Bot Message, January 14, 2026. According to CoinMarketCap market data, the overall cryptocurrency market has entered a correction cycle. The Fear & Greed Index rose from 26 (fear) yesterday to 48 (neutral), indicating a phased recovery in market sentiment. However, some tokens remain under pressure mainly due to macro policies, geopolitical factors, and other influences. Below are the top five performers by decline over the past 24 hours:
1️⃣ M (MemeCore)
📉 Current Price: $1.58 | Decline: -5.88%
📊 24H High/Low: $1.71 / $1.56 | Market Cap: $199 million
⚠️ MemeCore’s decline is mainly dragged down by overall market adjustments. Market risk appetite has shifted from high-volatility assets to defensive assets, with the “Buy American Goods” strategy regaining dominance. Under the backdrop of a strengthening US dollar, high-risk Meme assets are under pressure. Additionally, rising expectations of tariffs under the Trump administration and escalating geopolitical tensions (Iran issues) have triggered risk reassessment.
2️⃣ BCH (Bitcoin Cash)
📉 Current Price: $616.28 | Decline: -1.04%
📊 24H High/Low: $624.95 / $605.77 | Market Cap: $12.314 billion
⚠️ Bitcoin Cash experienced a slight correction mainly related to macroeconomic pressures. Under the background of the Trump administration pressuring the Federal Reserve and rising tariff expectations, market expectations for economic outlooks have adjusted, and risk aversion has increased, leading to pressure on risk assets. Meanwhile, the Cambodian Prince Group liquidation turmoil has raised concerns about regional financial risks.
3️⃣ LIT (Lighter)
📉 Current Price: $2.14 | Decline: -1.01%
📊 24H High/Low: $2.23 / $2.02 | Market Cap: $536 million
⚠️ Lighter tokens continue to be under pressure. Since TGE, trading activity has declined, perpetual contract trading volume has significantly shrunk, and market confidence in the project’s prospects is weak. A whale loss event (floating loss of $1.8 million) further dampened market sentiment. Selling pressure is still being released, with LIT dropping over 70% from December’s high of $7.86. Spot trading volume has decreased by 64% to $15 million.
4️⃣ XDC (XDC Network)
📉 Current Price: $0.46 | Decline: -0.19%
📊 24H High/Low: $0.47 / $0.46 | Market Cap: $882 million
⚠️ XDC Network experienced the smallest decline, showing relatively stable market performance. No major negative news drove this, and the slight decline reflects a weak overall market correction, indicating a defensive performance.
5️⃣ LEO (UNUS SED LEO)
📉 Current Price: $9.05 | Decline: -0.11%
📊 24H High/Low: $9.08 / $9.01 | Market Cap: $8.347 billion
⚠️ LEO token showed the strongest resilience, with a decline of only 0.11%, demonstrating its stablecoin-like characteristics. As an exchange token, it is highly correlated with the platform’s fundamentals and has a relatively strong independence from risk assets, attracting defensive capital allocations.
📉 Market Summary: The current crypto market is in a phased correction, with overall declines being manageable. On the macro level, factors such as the Trump administration’s economic policy expectations, the Federal Reserve’s independence being challenged, and escalating geopolitical tensions (Iran issues) have collectively increased risk aversion. Market-wise, the “Buy American Goods” narrative is gaining popularity, and capital is shifting from high-volatility assets to defensive assets, with the US dollar index strengthening. Notably, some newly launched projects (like Lighter) face liquidity shortages and confidence erosion, posing long-term risks. Investors are advised to closely monitor Federal Reserve policy developments and the implementation of Trump’s tariff policies, and to exercise caution when allocating to high-volatility assets.
⚠️ Risk Warning: This message is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile; investors should carefully assess their risk tolerance and avoid blindly following trends. Special reminder: Meme tokens carry extremely high risks, and new projects like Lighter may face selling pressure; participation should be rational.

BTC 15-minute chart slightly down 0.57%: leveraged long positions passively cut risk and macro sentiment disturbances drive volatility
2026-04-12 12:45 to 13:00 (UTC), the BTC price range was 71081.7 to 71493.2 USDT, with an amplitude of 0.58%. Within 15 minutes, the return recorded was -0.57%. During the period of unusual activity, market volatility increased somewhat, risk sentiment warmed up, and overall attention rose; however, there was no extreme surge in volume or a sudden drop in liquidity.

Recently, the funding rate for perpetual contracts turned from negative to positive.
