After the October 10 flash crash knocked crypto below the $3 trillion mark, Gemini AI mapped early‑2026 scenarios for XRP, Ethereum and BNB. It highlights support near $1.75 and resistance at $2.36 for XRP, $2,800 support and $3,370 resistance for ETH, and $800 support with a $1,000 hurdle for BNB. The model frames the first quarter of 2026 as a key decision period for whether the market breaks out of its current range.

Hyperliquid’s HYPE advanced nearly 8% over the past seven days as it reclaimed leadership in the perpetual futures market. According to CoinMarketCap, Hyperliquid holds a 19.5% market share with $4.9 billion in 24‑hour volume, while Aster sits below 15% at $3.7 billion. A break above the 200‑period EMA could open a path toward $40.

DeepSeek, a leading generative AI in China, outlined price scenarios for SOL, XRP, and SUI for the beginning of 2026. It flagged SOL support at $91.5, resistance at $135, and a $75–$110 base‑case range; for XRP, a $3.5 target with $2.37/$2.90 resistance and $1 support; for SUI, thresholds at $1.33 and $1.70, with $0.80–$1.50 as base cases.

On Dec 25, 2025, Galaxy Digital founder Michael Novogratz praised the Cardano and Ripple communities for their resilience, as highlighted by an X post. XRP is down 10% year-to-date but gained 0.5% over the last week, with 24-hour volume up 30%. Technically, buyers have defended $1.80 multiple times; reclaiming $2.20 could open a path toward $3.

On December 23, 2025, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson and Solana's Anatoly Yakovenko signaled plans on X to collaborate on a cross-chain bridge linking the two Layer 1 networks, aiming to improve interoperability and potentially redirect liquidity toward Solana. At the same time, SOL has slipped below its former $127 support and is struggling to hold the $120 area, with analysts watching for a move back above $125 to challenge the current downtrend while traders eye new meme coin project Maxi Doge ($MAXI) on Ethereum.

Dogecoin fell about 1% to roughly $0.12 on Christmas Day and is on track to finish the year over 60% lower, while traders have shifted toward newer meme tokens. Technical analyst Alan Tardigrade highlights a recurring descending triangle and OBV pattern similar to 2024 that could send DOGE toward $1, even as charts suggest a possible slide to around $0.09 first. In parallel, the Pepenode presale has raised nearly $2.4 million for a mine-to-earn game that lets users deploy virtual mining rigs and compete for meme coin airdrops.

On December 22, 2025, YoungHoon Kim shared a view that XRP could approach $1,000 over the next decade, contingent on large-scale accumulation, a weaker dollar, and elevated inflation. His X account has more than 388,000 followers, and he argued the scenario is numerically plausible despite skepticism that such a move would imply a market cap bigger than gold. XRP was around $1.87, with 2025 losses near 20%, as bears maintained control.

Over the past 24 hours, BNB climbed 1% to near $870, defying broader market weakness. The token is up 23% year to date and earlier this year set a record high at $1,360 before a 36% pullback. Traders highlight a key trend line and watch $900–$1,000 on a breakout, with scenarios pointing to $950 on strength or $700 if support fails.

Monero's XMR has climbed 3.6% in the last 24 hours, with trading volume up 6% to over $170 million as the price retests the $420 resistance level. A trader projects that a decisive breakout above this ceiling could push XMR toward $500 and potentially $600 in the medium term, building on a 122% gain since the start of 2025.
