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.

Bitcoin is in a key inflection phase as it trades above the $86,000 weekly support zone while momentum weakens after a rejection near $93,000. Analyst Michael Van De Poppe notes that price remains in a short-term downtrend unless BTC can reclaim $88,000, with potential liquidity targets at $83,000 and $80,000. Another analyst, Crypto Damus, highlights that a deeper retracement toward $78,000 or even a longer-term retest around $70,000 could still fit within the broader market cycle.

A new money market fund called My On-Chain Net Yield Fund (MONY) has been launched by J.P. Morgan Asset Management, using Ethereum as its settlement layer with shares issued and tracked on the Kinexys platform. The fund targets capital preservation and liquidity for large investors while offering faster settlement, continuous issuance and redemptions, and more efficient ownership transfers. Commentators also highlight Ethereum as a global, neutral economic coordination layer whose value extends beyond cash flow-based models.

According to a daily update from CyrilXBT, ETH is stabilizing after a selloff, trading near $3,131 while remaining below the 50-day EMA around $3,281 and resistance clustered near $3,300–$3,400. Initial support is around $3,050, with a broader $2,750–$2,900 demand zone and the $2,905 low pivotal; a firm close above $3,300–$3,400 could refocus $3,500.

Ethereum is holding above a key support near $3,091 while price compresses below the $3,200 area. Traders are watching whether this base resolves in an upside break or a retest, with momentum divergence and institutional interest cited as catalysts for the next directional move.

Bitcoin is holding within a tight band between $86,000 and $100,000 as analysts highlight a macro retracement. Crypto Patel points to a confirmed top, a completed Head and Shoulders, and Fibonacci supports at $56,700, $44,000, and $35,000. CyrilXBT notes price near $90,300, capped by $96,000–$100,000 and supported at $86,000–$88,000.
