XRP has been given a 48-hour window to reach a $3 price target, which would lift its market value to about $181.82 billion, according to trader YoungHoon Kim. With XRP currently trading near $1.87 and daily volume around $1.72 billion, bulls must clear resistance levels at $1.926, $2.050 and $2.366 for the call to gain traction, or risk the market refocusing on support in the $1.84 to $1.86 area.

A total of 485,106,817,819 SHIB moved from Coinbase Prime to a single untagged wallet across three transfers, valued just above $3.47 million. The activity unfolded over two days near weekly lows around $0.0000072, with traders eyeing $0.0000074 and $0.0000078 if support at $0.0000071–$0.0000072 holds, and $0.0000068 if it breaks.

Midnight (NIGHT) trades at $0.092216, up 2.67%, while holding above the Bollinger basis at $0.085786. It sits at rank 49 with a $1.53 billion market cap, and a push to $0.10 could imply about $1.65 billion and a move into the mid‑40s. Resistance clusters near $0.107048, with $0.080 and $0.064523 as key downside levels.

XRP investment products saw $70.2 million of inflows while Bitcoin products registered $443 million of outflows for the week ending Dec. 27. Month-to-date, XRP stands at $424.8 million in inflows versus Bitcoin at -$25 million and Ethereum at -$241 million. The XRP Ledger AlphaNet has introduced Dilithium-based, quantum-resistant functionality on its test network.

On Dec. 29, 2025, CryptoQuant's Maartunn highlighted Zcash's renewed jump as a pattern that has often preceded Bitcoin weakness. CoinGlass data the same day showed XRP's one-hour window with $0 in short liquidations as longs lost over $20,000, while Monero drew an 80% cup-and-handle target if a breakout holds. TradingView charts captured ZEC's quick move from about $460 to $520 and XRP's drift from $1.90 to $1.87.

On December 28, 2025, an XRP watcher highlighted Times Square's 2026 display using 589 lights, reviving a long‑running community motif. Bitcoin has three trading days left in December to hold the mid‑Bollinger near $88,929, opening a path toward $125,571 if defended. SHIB ended December negative and is targeting a January move that could delete one zero.

As late 2025 approaches, XRP is consolidating into a tight bullish triangle on lower time frames around $1.86, with traders eyeing a potential move toward the $2 zone. The pattern forms between resistance near $1.88 and support around $1.84, and a roughly 10% breakout could carry price toward $2.04 if buyers can push through overhead levels.

On December 25, 2025, BitMine Immersion chairman Tom Lee quoted an image circulating online that listed a $20,000 Ethereum target for 2026, responding with just "love this" despite the forecast later being flagged as fake. His reaction drew attention to BitMine's $11.83 billion crypto treasury, which holds 4,066,062 ETH and gains about $4.07 billion in paper value for every $1,000 move in ETH price. If ETH ever reached $20,000, that position alone would be worth roughly $81.32 billion, underscoring why such extreme numbers attract interest even when their origin is dubious.

Bitcoin's weekly chart signals a potential death cross with about two days left in the current candle, as price trades near $88,690 below the 23- and 50-week averages at $101,870 and $106,528. A weekly close back above that band would target $107,155; failure keeps focus on $80,600, $74,111 and the $67,026 zone.
