Technical indicators signal recovery as AI coins gain momentum
When assessing what the best cryptos to invest in are at this moment, it is important to understand the underlying market trends. One of them is the capital rotation into substance, or established sub-sectors with utility, such as DeFi and AI, observed by some analysts. In particular, AI coins have been outpacing meme coins at the start of 2026.It is also key to read into technical indicators. One of them is the profit/loss ratio for short-term BTC holders. As noted in a CoinDesk analysis, low levels have historically been aligned with market bottoms. But the ratio in question has risen from 0.013 on Nov. 24 (days after its 2025 year low) to about 0.5 on Jan. 6, signalling a clear recovery.

Against this recovery backdrop, the next section reviews some of the best cryptos to invest in.
Coins likely to lead crypto’s recovery
DeepSnitch AI (DSNT)
What makes DeepSnitch AI notable right now is that it leads among strong fundamentals coins. Its combination of solid tech, aligned product, and large market exposure makes it a significant player in the space.
The project is developing a system driven by powerful AI agents. Four of these agents (SnitchScan, SnitchFeed, SnitchGPT, and AuditSnitch) are already active. They scan crypto data and transform it into actionable insights about crypto investing
This tool makes advanced market intelligence available to any crypto holder around the world, a market that exceeds half a billion people. Instead of “doing your own research” (DYOR), anybody will now count with DeepSnitch AI for tasks like analyzing market sentiment (SnitchScan + SnitchFeed) or checking if a smart contract is legit (AuditSnitch).
The rapid development pace of DeepSnitch AI highlights its potential. More than $1,100,000 has been raised, despite that the 4
On top of that, DeepSnitch AI’s team is about to announce something that may multiply this unique potential.
XRP (XRP)
XRP’s case for being among the best cryptos to invest in is, simply put, that it is leading big-cap altcoins in 2026, and by a large margin. In the first 6 days of the year, XRP has gained 19.8%, almost doubling Solana’s 10.4%, which comes second among $50 billion plus market cap cryptocurrencies.
Given XRP’s massive cap (now over $140 billion) the coin is one of the safest crypto investments that can be made in January.
Bittensor (TAO)
The rotation towards AI coins has been led by Render. But sometimes it is better to consider a coin that is at the beginning of its rise, rather than on one that has already gone through it. In this regard, Bittensor seems one of the best cryptos to consider for those looking to benefit within the AI segment.
Bittensor’s coin TAO surged from $218.18 on Jan. 1 to $292.79 on Jan. 6, an impressive 34% jump in only 5 days.
But apart from this strong momentum, Bittensor’s strong utility focus (being a decentralized machine learning network) makes it one of the leading long-term value projects among AI coins.
Conclusion
Finding notable projects to invest in requires analyzing underlying trends and assessing internal strengths. On both counts, DeepSnitch AI stands out for those who aim for significant returns.
