On December 29, analyst Ali Martinez warned that XRP could soon lose its $1.77 support, with a further slide potentially endangering the critical $1 mark. XRP is currently trading around $1.88, while selling pressure, weaker network activity, and large whale transfers are heightening downside risks.

Toncoin is testing the $1.705 resistance after recent gains. A daily gap near $1.57 and overbought Stochastic RSI flag a possible pause, while Open Interest climbed 7.27% to 103 million and the Long/Short Ratio is 2.976. A firm move above $1.705 would strengthen the bullish structure.

Following a late-2025 sell-off, Zcash (ZEC), Monero (XMR) and OKB still closed the year with large YTD gains. ZEC rallied roughly +800% with an October spike over 400%; XMR added about 129% after April catalyst flows; OKB gained 115% on an August burn plan and X Layer upgrades.

On-chain data attributed to Darkfrost shows that XRP inflows to Binance have climbed sharply since December 15, with values holding above 35 million tokens and peaking at 116 million. This sustained rise in exchange deposits, combined with whales offloading 40 million XRP and the price sliding to about $1.87, suggests ongoing selling pressure that could prolong or deepen the current correction.

Canton (CC) rallied strongly over the past week and in the last 24 hours. A range breakout aligned with rising momentum indicators, while a DTCC partnership on asset tokenization boosted confidence. On-chain activity also spiked, with active addresses and transactions surging on the network.

Shiba Inu's exchange reserves have fallen to about 81.2 trillion tokens as of December 28, the lowest level since April 2021, while its price trades near $0.000007478 after a sharp yearly decline. The reduced exchange supply is seen by some market participants as a potential catalyst for a short-term rebound, even as burn activity slows and concerns over Shibarium's stalled development keep bearish pressure in play.

Polkadot's DOT token traded around $1.83 on Monday, slipping 2% in 24 hours as broader market weakness capped attempts to reclaim the $1.90 level. Despite being up 1.5% over the past week, DOT has dropped 18% in 30 days and 74% over the last year, with analysts watching $1.70 as a key downside target amid bearish technical indicators. Short-term forecasts suggest limited upside toward $2.00–$2.25, while sustained selling could push the price below recent support.

In 2025, Ripple settled its SEC lawsuit with a roughly $125 million civil penalty and completed several billion‑dollar acquisitions while XRP set a new all‑time high of about $3.65 in July before nearly halving in price. The year also saw the introduction of multiple US spot XRP ETFs with around $1.14 billion in net inflows and rapid adoption of Ripple's dollar‑pegged stablecoin RLUSD by major banks and regulators.
