Following a broad crypto market crash in early October, Bitcoin has continued to decline, breaking several support levels and trading around $88,260 with little daily movement. On-chain analyst Maartunn reports that the Coinbase Premium Gap has fallen to -$57, indicating that US-based traders are selling more aggressively than offshore markets. Historically, extended negative readings have sometimes preceded market bottoms, but a deeper decline without new demand could keep Bitcoin under pressure unless the premium turns back toward neutral or positive territory.

CryptoQuant analyst PelinayPA links XRP weakness in 2025 to rising exchange inflows from 100K–1M and 1M+ whale bands. Despite the mid‑November launch of US spot XRP ETFs, SoSoValue reports over $1.14 billion in assets and no negative outflow days, yet price hovers near $1.90 with risk toward $1.50–$1.60.

XRP has trended lower through the second half of 2025, retreating from an all‑time high near $3.65 and rebounding at the $2 mark after a pullback from around $2.20 this week. On December 12, Ali Martinez shared Glassnode heatmap insights on X, flagging $1.96 and $1.78 as support and $2.17 as resistance. XRP is around $2.01, down nearly 2% week over week, according to CoinGecko.

Bitcoin's December downturn has brought the cryptocurrency to a critical support level at $82,000. Data show this price point marks the convergence of spot ETF average purchase costs and the True Market Mean for active investors. Market analyst Burak Kesmeci noted on December 5 that price action around this threshold will determine the asset's near-term direction.

Bitcoin dropped below $90,000 after reaching approximately $94,000 earlier this week. The pullback has sparked debate among market participants about whether this represents a temporary correction or signals the end of recent upward momentum. The cryptocurrency is trading near $89,415, down over 3% in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin climbed back above $90,000 on November 26, posting its strongest weekly gain since the October 10 decline. Data show over $2 billion in Bitcoin flowed into Binance over seven days, while stablecoin inflows totaled only $735 million during the same period, according to CryptoQuant. On-chain analyst CryptoOnchain warns the supply-demand gap may limit buying power to absorb potential selling pressure.

Bitcoin stabilized above $86,000 after a week of intense selling activity. Data show approximately 20,000 BTC—worth nearly $2 billion—moved to centralized exchanges over the past seven days, reflecting profit-taking behavior among holders. Exchange inflows peaked at roughly 81,000 BTC on November 21, the highest level since mid-July.

On-chain data shows approximately 71,000 BTC in long positions versus 27,900 BTC in shorts across 19 exchanges, according to Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson. The disparity has triggered cascading liquidations as Bitcoin breached key support levels at $100,000 and $90,000. Bitcoin traded at $86,251 at the reported time, up 3% over 24 hours.

Bitcoin exchange-traded fund holders may face their first significant pressure test as the cryptocurrency trades near key support levels. Data shows the average purchase price for U.S.-based ETF investors sits around $79,300, with the asset currently trading at approximately $84,500 after declining over 11% in the past week. Analysts warn that a breach below this cost basis could trigger panic selling among retail participants who have not experienced previous Bitcoin market cycles.
