Ripple's XRP rebounded from a multi-week low near $1.77 on Friday to trade around $1.92, briefly reclaiming the $1.90 level seen as key support by traders. The TD Sequential indicator, cited by Ali Martinez, now signals a potential local top after this roughly 10% bounce, raising concerns for bulls. Analysts note XRP's price is tracking bitcoin's broader sentiment, while a clear break below $1.90 could open the way toward the $1.55–$1.70 area and possibly down to $1.00.

ETH remains below $3,000 after pronounced 2025 swings. Whales sold $360 million over the past week and spot Ethereum ETFs logged seven straight days of outflows since December 11, with net inflows down to under $12.5 billion. On-chain data shows daily new addresses spiking above 190,000 in December, hinting at returning retail interest.

Bitcoin has fallen from above $126,000 in early October to around $88,000, while analysts debate whether this marks a new bear market or a deep bull-cycle correction. One analyst argues BTC must regain roughly $101,840–$102,000 to revive its bull phase, while another points to an oversold RSI below 30 for about three weeks as a setup for a potential explosive rebound. At the same time, whale balances have dropped by over 160,000 BTC in a year and spot ETFs saw nearly $500 million in outflows, adding downside risk if support at $83,300 fails.

Spot XRP ETFs have logged 25 consecutive trading days without net outflows since the Nov. 13 U.S. launch, reaching $1.070 billion in cumulative net inflows by Friday. Weekly additions of $82.04 million surpassed BTC and ETH products, which saw nearly $500 million and $650 million outflows, while Solana funds remained positive for 12 straight days.

In mid-December 2025, new Ethereum wallet creation rebounded sharply after a period of subdued network activity, with daily new addresses briefly approaching 200,000. ETH remains below $3,000, but some analysts argue the asset is building momentum for a significant move, projecting potential upside toward $3,700 and a stronger performance against bitcoin.

Bitcoin is trading above $88,000 after several failed attempts to break $89,500 and earlier rejections near $94,500, while its market capitalization stays above $1.750 trillion. ZEC has recorded another double-digit price increase to above $450, as major altcoins such as Ethereum, XRP, ADA, DOGE, HYPE, CRO, UNI, and CC also post notable daily gains.

Cynthia Lummis, the junior U.S. senator from Wyoming since 2021, announced on December 19, 2025 that she will not seek another term, citing the demands of six more years. A longtime bitcoin advocate, she reportedly first bought BTC in 2013, and filings from 2021 show purchases between $50,000 and $100,000. She has championed pro‑crypto legislation, including calls for a strategic U.S. Bitcoin reserve.

Bitcoin has slipped about 3% for the week to $88,000 after briefly rebounding from $84,500, with on-chain data highlighting that zone as the strongest current support. Analyst Ali Martinez notes that a break below roughly $83,300 could open the way to deeper supports at $79,520, $70,685, and $63,111. The price also faces heavy sell walls just above the market, including resistance around $90,000, $92,000 and a major barrier near $94,000.

After surging to an all-time high above $126,000 in early October, Bitcoin has fallen by more than 30% and trades well below $90,000. On December 19, 2025, analyst Merlijn The Trader, citing Raoul Pal, said this is a liquidity-driven "coil" rather than a crash. Pseudonymous analyst Wise Crypto floated a $600,000 target for 2026, contingent on macro shifts.
