XRP has faced sustained selling even as Spot XRP ETFs attracted $82.04 million of inflows over the recent week. On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows repeated large deposits in the 100,000 to over 1 million XRP range moving from whale wallets to Binance, adding supply that spot buyers have struggled to absorb. Price action has formed lower highs and lower lows, with resistance near $1.95 and potential downside toward $1.50 if heavy inflows to exchanges continue.

According to market commentator Crypto Waterman, Bitcoin’s final bull leg is likely to unfold gradually, with the parabolic phase lasting about one to two months and potentially occurring in the first quarter of 2026. He cautions that shakeouts and volatility may precede the move, and suggests accumulating on dips over the next two to three weeks while scaling out profits as gains compound.

Ethereum's Estimated Leverage Ratio on Binance reached 0.611, a new all-time high, while the taker buy/sell ratio climbed to 1.13, signaling firmer demand. ETH fell to $2,781 on December 18 and remains below $3,000 as traders position for a potential breakout. One analyst highlights $3,100–$3,200 if the $2,700–$2,800 support area holds.

Veteran chartist Peter Brandt shared on X a technical read of XRP's weekly chart that he says points to a potential double top and a bearish tilt. His chart indicates a breakdown below a flag, with support around $1.80 to $2.00 versus resistance near $3.5, and the $2 level was lost in December. A sustained move above $2, then $2.2, $2.5, $2.7 and $3 would invalidate the setup.

In a new analysis, CryptoQuant's Arab Chain reports Ethereum's all-exchange supply ratio has fallen to about 0.137, marking one of the lowest readings since 2016. On Binance, the Exchange Supply Ratio slid to 0.0325, reflecting sustained outflows and thinner spot liquidity—conditions often associated with firmer price support.

Crypto analyst Doctor Profit plans to accumulate Bitcoin around $86,000 as part of a short-term relief rally strategy, while keeping a broadly bearish outlook. He expects the BTC price could revisit the $97,000 to $107,000 area before another major downturn and continues to hold short positions aimed at lower levels such as $70,000. At the same time, another analyst warns that losing support near $87,000 might open the door for a deeper drop.

Under sustained selling pressure through mid-December, Bitcoin has fallen below the $90,000 support and remains in a downtrend. Analyst Lingrid outlines a structure where repeated rejections between $92,500 and $93,500 keep price capped below a key channel, raising the risk of a decline toward $82,000. A break and hold above $92,500 could invalidate this bearish view and refocus attention on the $100,000 region, but current sentiment and price levels make that scenario less likely.

XRP analyst Zach Rector said a return to $1 is unlikely under normal market conditions, even if the $2 support gives way. He noted range-bound trade just above $2, with spot XRP ETF inflows offset by centralized-exchange selling, and he flagged $1.90 to $1.80 as the probable downside zone, citing higher lows in April, October 10, and November.

Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader has outlined Ethereum’s 2-day chart as a classic Wyckoff accumulation, noting that the asset has already passed several key phases and is nearing a potential expansion move. In recent sessions, ETH has fluctuated between about $3,050 and $3,400 and is trading near $3,100, with the Wyckoff roadmap projecting an upside path that includes a rejection around $5,000 before any potential advance toward $10,000 and beyond. The scenario assumes the current structure remains valid and that a backup zone could form near $3,750 during a pullback.
