AXS4,51%
MORPHO7,5%
CRV4,68%

Gate.io News Bot Message, January 28, 2026, according to CoinMarketCap market data, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a correction, with some previously strong-performing tokens facing technical pullbacks, and market risk factors gradually emerging. The following are the performance details of the top five tokens with the largest declines in the past 24 hours:

1️⃣ RIVER (River) 📉 Current Price: $72.76 | Decline: -11.02% 📊 24H High/Low: $79.26 / $54.05 | Market Cap: $1,426,198,540.96 ⚠️ RIVER surged 500% in early 2026 but is now facing a technical correction. The token’s annual increase is nearly 500%, reaching a historical high of $87.73, with on-chain risks beginning to surface. Derivatives market high leverage positions have accumulated, with excessive long capital concentration. TD Sequential indicator signals show increasing profit-taking pressure. The current pullback is a normal risk release.

2️⃣ AXS (Axie Infinity) 📉 Current Price: $2.51 | Decline: -6.61% 📊 24H High/Low: $2.68 / $2.35 | Market Cap: $423,706,789.50 ⚠️ After a 277% increase this year, AXS faces profit-taking pressure. On-chain analysts indicate TD Sequential signals suggest a profit-taking phase, implying a possible risk adjustment period. The previous strong rally has already priced in high expectations, and the pullback is a normal profit realization process.

3️⃣ MORPHO (Morpho) 📉 Current Price: $1.19 | Decline: -3.85% 📊 24H High/Low: $1.24 / $1.19 | Market Cap: $452,133,562.42 ⚠️ Morpho shows a slight correction with a relatively mild decline. The decline is controllable, indicating market recognition of the project’s fundamentals remains, and the pullback is within a reasonable range.

4️⃣ CRV (Curve DAO Token) 📉 Current Price: $0.34 | Decline: -2.46% 📊 24H High/Low: $0.35 / $0.33 | Market Cap: $502,263,519.25 ⚠️ CRV’s correction is small, and the market performance is relatively stable. The DeFi sector shows overall volatility, but this token’s decline is moderate, reflecting relatively stable underlying liquidity.

5️⃣ PEPE (Pepe) 📉 Current Price: $0.501 | Decline: -2.39% 📊 24H High/Low: $0.51 / $0.48 | Market Cap: $2,076,704,527.77 ⚠️ PEPE, as a leading Meme coin, experienced a slight correction, with a decline within 2.5%. The Meme sector’s total market cap is about $44.4 billion, and PEPE maintains a relatively stable market share. The pullback is a normal market fluctuation.

📉 Market Adjustment Summary and Risk Warning

On January 28, 2026, the cryptocurrency market experienced a broad correction, with previously strong tokens facing significant pullback pressure. Although RIVER continues to attract institutional attention (Justin Sun’s $8 million strategic investment, TRON DAO support), its 500% surge this year has accumulated substantial risk. The current 11% decline reflects the liquidation of high leverage positions and profit-taking. AXS also faces similar pressure, with a 277% increase this year far exceeding market averages, and technical signals warn of risk.

Key Risk Warnings: ⚠️ Be cautious with high-growth tokens; this correction may deepen further ⚠️ Derivatives market high leverage positions pose forced liquidation risks ⚠️ Tokens with excessive prior gains are prone to profit-taking pressure ⚠️ Investors are advised to strictly control risk exposure and avoid chasing highs or lows
