Bitcoin is trading sideways after a low‑activity weekend, slipping under the key $90k mark with a decline of more than 1% in the past 24 hours. The price is fluctuating between support at $78,960–$83,130 and resistance at $92,588–$101,570, with analysts suggesting this range could persist through late December and into early January. A decisive move above $93,550 or below $86,000 may signal whether buyers regain control or a deeper corrective phase is starting.

Interest in XRP exchange traded funds has intensified after Cboe approved a 21Shares XRP ETF under the XR ticker, expanding institutional routes into the token. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse noted that XRP ETFs gathered $1 billion in assets in about 17 days, and analyst Mickle believes that, if inflow trends hold, ETF holdings could grow to $10 billion within a year. He argues that easier brokerage access, growing XRP Ledger functionality, and shifting market cycles are pushing XRP further into an institutionally driven phase.

Bitcoin fell below $90,000 on Friday amid over $200 million in leveraged long position liquidations.

Bitcoin is testing a key resistance range between $92,734 and $101,156 following last week's recovery from near $83,000. The 55-week exponential moving average at approximately $98,300 was breached for the first time this cycle during the recent correction. The decline of roughly 35–36% aligns with historical drawdowns of 30 to 35 percent when this moving average has been broken.
