Where Things Stand Right Now
PEAQ is going through a rough patch. As of late January 2026, the token is trading around $0.02690, down nearly 30% in just 24 hours. That’s a painful drop for anyone holding the token, and it’s not happening in a vacuum.
On January 12th, the project unlocked 84.84 million tokens—roughly 5% of the total supply. When that much new supply hits the market all at once, it tends to push prices down, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing. At the same time, though, the PEAQ ecosystem is quietly growing. More than 60 DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) applications are now building on the platform, and the team secured regulatory approval in Dubai through a partnership with VARA, the city’s crypto regulator. So while the price action looks ugly, the project itself is moving forward.
From a technical perspective, almost every indicator is flashing red. Short-term and long-term moving averages are all pointing toward “sell.” The RSI sits between 37 and 46, which is neutral to slightly weak—not oversold enough to suggest a bounce is coming, but not strong either. Momentum indicators show very little upward pressure. In short, the bulls have left the building for now.
Key Price Levels and What Comes Next
Looking ahead to the next couple of weeks, the technical picture suggests more downside is likely. Analysts are watching support levels between $0.02650 and $0.02520. If those break, the next line of defense sits around $0.02360. That’s an important level—if it gives way, things could get messier.
On the upside, PEAQ needs to reclaim $0.02935 just to start looking healthier. Beyond that, resistance zones at $0.03100 and $0.03220 would need to fall before anyone could confidently say the trend has reversed. Right now, those levels feel far away.
Over the next one to three months, forecasts remain cautious. Some models suggest the price could drift down toward $0.02120 by late February if nothing changes. The 50-day moving average is sloping downward and sitting above the current price, which typically acts as a ceiling during weak trends. Without a catalyst—whether that’s a major partnership, exchange listing, or surge in DePIN adoption—it’s hard to see where the buying pressure comes from.
Looking Further Out: Best and Worst Case Scenarios
If you zoom out to the second half of 2026, the story could go two very different ways.
In the optimistic scenario, PEAQ’s growing ecosystem starts to matter. If DePIN adoption picks up steam, real-world usage increases, and regulatory wins like the Dubai approval lead to broader acceptance, the token could climb back above $0.040 or even $0.050. That would require the project to prove that its technology isn’t just interesting on paper but actually solves problems people are willing to pay for. It’s possible, but it’s not the base case right now.
The Downside Risk
On the flip side, if more token unlocks are coming and staking rewards don’t absorb the selling pressure, the price could fall below $0.020. A clean break under $0.02360 would be a red flag that deeper losses are ahead. The biggest risks here are inflation from token unlocks and weak demand. Even the best tech in the world doesn’t matter if no one’s buying the token.
For now, PEAQ is in wait-and-see mode. The fundamentals show promise, but the technicals and tokenomics are working against it. Whether this is a temporary setback or the start of something worse depends largely on what happens in the next few months—both inside the project and across the broader crypto market.
