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.

XRP recently failed to hold above $2.15 and is now trading slightly above $2, while sitting about 44% below its July all‑time high of $3.65. According to analyst ChartNerd, the current structure resembles XRP’s late‑2016 rejection and ABC correction that produced a 69% drop before a rally of more than 110,000%. If a similar 69% decline from the all‑time high unfolds into the first quarter of 2026, price projections suggest a move below $1 toward around $0.8.

Dogecoin is probing the lower boundary near $0.135 within a long-standing triangle on the 3‑day chart. Recovery checkpoints include $0.155 and $0.190, with further extensions to $0.250, $0.310 and $0.370, while $0.47 is highlighted as a resistance and profit‑taking zone. DOGE has fallen over 22% year‑to‑date.

Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade says Dogecoin is tracing a bullish Three Drives on the daily chart, outlining a potential buy zone between $0.131 and $0.124 and a rebound target near $0.155. His levels include a 1.272 Fibonacci extension around $0.137 and resistance at $0.159–$0.155. A second analyst, Crypto King, cites a Falling Wedge with a possible move to $0.27.

Bitcoin’s slide below $90,000 has pushed realized losses to magnitudes last seen in 2022. The 30-day average of realized losses is about $555 million per day, and a rebound from the November 22 low to above $92,000 has not eased pressure on short-term holders. Long-term holders are taking profits near $1 billion per day.

Bitcoin has risen from below $90,000 to above $94,000 over the last few days. In a TradingView analysis, crypto analyst Xanrox says the move resembles a bear flag on the 12-hour and 1-day charts. He sees scope for an extension to $96,000 before a reversal, with a potential drop of over 25% toward the April 2024 swing low at $74,000.
