Tether moved Bitcoin off Bitfinex, contributing to shrinking exchange supply while leverage rises across the market. Derivatives positioning tilts long and dense downside liquidity sits below current ranges, raising the odds of swift moves as positive funding persists and prices consolidate.

Large Chainlink holders recently withdrew significant LINK from Binance and added to reserves, tightening exchange-side supply while price stayed relatively muted. LINK rebounded from a demand zone toward channel resistance between $13.20 and $13.50, with $11.75 acting as key support and $14.65 and $16.66 overhead. Derivatives data showed short liquidations of about $59.46k versus $10.55k for longs on 26 December, pointing to fading downside pressure as buy-side absorption persisted under resistance.

ETF activity and blockchain metrics now point to sharply different setups for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP heading toward 2026. Bitcoin has moved into a historically discounted valuation zone, Ethereum is seeing large withdrawals from exchanges despite ETF outflows, and XRP’s spot ETFs have built over $1.16 billion in assets. These contrasting signals suggest capital is rotating selectively among the three major assets instead of flowing uniformly into the crypto market.

MYX Finance's MYX rose more than 13%, while 24‑hour trading volume climbed over 20% to $38.66 million at press time. Open Interest increased 8.48% to $45.63 million and top traders' Long/Short Ratio reached 1.79 with 64.22% long accounts, according to CoinGlass. Price holds above $3.03 and a heatmap highlights liquidity near $3.20 and $3.45.

On 10 December, a 750 million ADA transfer into Binance injected significant liquidity, yet Cardano’s price held near $0.46 as buyers absorbed the impact. Technical signals, including a break above a multi‑month descending regression channel, an RSI around 50.56, and rising Spot Taker Buy CVD alongside Open Interest at $814.87 million, point to an improving market structure despite resistance at $0.48–$0.50 and higher targets at $0.60 and $0.6975. Dense liquidation liquidity between $0.48 and $0.50 on Binance continues to threaten short‑term volatility while also providing potential fuel for further upside moves.

Ripple transferred 250 million XRP to an unidentified wallet, reducing tokens available in immediate selling zones. XRP has formed a potential double-bottom pattern near $1.99, with the $2.2443 level serving as the key resistance for a move toward $2.50. Exchange reserves fell 2.51% while funding rates surged over 460%, according to CryptoQuant data.

Chainlink recorded a $2.65 million spot outflow as traders removed tokens from exchanges near a critical demand zone. Taker Buy CVD data shows persistent buyer aggression absorbing sell orders. Whale order sizes increased ahead of Grayscale's upcoming ETF conversion.

Large investors removed approximately 170,000 SOL tokens from major exchanges as Solana traded near $130. Two newly created wallets withdrew 70,000 SOL from Binance, while another address pulled over 100,000 SOL from four platforms. Derivatives data showed long positions at 77.71% with a long-to-short ratio of 3.49.

Hyperliquid's HYPE token advanced 6.7% to trade near $41.28 while most altcoins declined, with market capitalization reaching $13.9 billion. Trading volume jumped 57.58%, indicating strong market participation across spot and derivatives platforms. The gain contrasts with broader crypto market weakness, suggesting selective investor rotation into specific opportunities.
