According to Steph is Crypto, XRP's 3‑week Stochastic RSI has reset to 0.00, a rare reading last seen at the 2022 bear‑market low, hinting at exhaustion of selling momentum. Altcoin Pioneers also notes a repeating ABC fractal from the 2016–2017 cycle, with the ongoing correction aligning toward the $1.87 region, fueling debate about a potential base before any sustained upside.

Bitcoin remains confined within a falling range as Kamile Uray flags $90,588 and the descending trendline as must‑clear levels, with supports at $83,822–$82,477 and $74,496–$71,237. The Penguin notes lower‑time‑frame moves look less impulsive but the structure holds; a daily close above $90,500–$94,130 would signal bullish confirmation while select altcoins show momentum.

According to analyst Cryptowzrd, Ethereum recently closed the session with an indecisive daily candle, reflecting muted momentum across both ETHUSD and ETHBTC pairs. Price is hovering around a $2,800 support zone, with key short-term triggers seen at $2,880 on the downside and $3,060 on the upside to define the next major move. Until a clearer structure forms, trading focus remains on cautious intraday scalps as weekend liquidity and narrow ranges limit directional conviction.

XRP is navigating a split narrative, with short‑term weakness and capped upside even as a long‑forming macro pattern progresses. The current phase is viewed as pivotal, as bearish pressure dominates near‑term action while the broader structure steadily readies for a potential breakout.

Solana hit an all-time high of $296 in November 2024 but has since seen its market interest fade, with activity increasingly driven by smaller retail wallets. Over roughly 13 months, mid-sized and institutional wallets have been in decline while retail participation rises, raising concerns that SOL's value is now closely linked to memecoin activity on its network. In 2025, active monthly traders fell from about 30 million to under 1 million, revenue dropped from $2.5 billion to $500 million, and SOL lagged Ethereum, which generated $1.4 billion and outperformed SOL by 56% year-to-date.

CryptoWzrd's latest daily update notes that Litecoin closed with a bullish candle while broadly mirroring Bitcoin's market trend, with intraday action staying volatile around key supports and resistance. The analyst highlights $75.20, $79.60 and $80 as crucial boundaries that separate bullish continuation from renewed downside, with a drop below these levels turning the outlook bearish and opening room for a move toward $68. Traders are encouraged to wait for clear confirmation at these price zones, especially during lower-liquidity weekend sessions.

As the weekend progresses, Bitcoin is trading in a tight range with low volatility, and analysts are focusing on short-term scalp setups around clearly defined price zones. Lennaert Snyder is watching resistance near $88,865 and $89,375 and support around $87,420 and $85,890 for potential long and short opportunities. Daan Crypto Trades notes that price has been largely unchanged for weeks and expects choppy action around the upcoming Christmas holidays.

Recent Bitcoin declines appear driven by market structure rather than widespread selling, with on-chain readings suggesting limited broad distribution. The move is linked to stablecoin-denominated shorts and market-maker hedging. Nearly $300 billion of previously dormant BTC returned to circulation in 2025, indicating a shifting supply landscape.

An analyst known as Deg_ape argues that the Bitcoin halving has never functioned as a rigid four-year clock, but rather as a structural anchor within broader liquidity and macro cycles. According to this view, macro bear phases expand and overlap as liquidity conditions shift, with recent data showing around $130 billion in new liquidity injections and a historic 30-day balance decline among retail wallets while larger holders accumulate. This divergence suggests that price action may lag underlying liquidity, driving capitulation among smaller investors even as bigger players reposition for the longer term.
