On Thursday, Bitcoin fell nearly 9% toward the $81,314 area after a brief 2.6% rebound, slipping below near‑term supports. Analysts Ted Pillows and Rekt Capital warn the loss of the 100‑week EMA and a retest of the Macro Triangle bottom near $82,500 raise downside risks, with history implying up to a 76.88% drawdown toward $30,000 if patterns repeat.

Dogecoin has been moving between $0.119 and $0.151, with a brief rally to $0.156, and is now trying to reclaim the $0.1250 level after a recent 5% bounce. Some analysts say the current structure resembles past consolidation phases that preceded parabolic advances with gains of up to 215x, while others warn the coin is already in a bear phase that could bring a 50%-70% decline toward the $0.060-$0.035 area. As of the latest price action, DOGE trades around $0.125, roughly 1.4% lower on the week.

After retesting the $1.90 region on Friday and rebounding 4.6% intraday, XRP has remained in a $1.85–$2.00 band while defending macro support near $1.80. An analyst argues the altcoin is completing a running flat ABC correction that has unfolded over about 400 days, suggesting a possible structural breakout toward key resistance at $2.70 if the $1.80 level is not lost.

On Tuesday, BitMine reported that its Ethereum stash had risen to 4.2 million ETH after buying 35,268 ETH, valued at about $110 million, bringing its combined crypto and cash holdings to $14.5 billion. Following this move, the firm now controls 3.48% of ETH’s 120.7 million supply and has staked 1,838,003 ETH worth $5.9 billion, while the ETH price has fallen below $3,000 and is testing a key support area around the mid-range of $2,600–$3,350.

XRP recently dropped to a 12-day low near $2.02 before rebounding within a $2.05–$2.35 range, as market watchers track a possible shift in its price structure. Technical analysts highlight a break from months of lower highs and lows and compare today's setup to XRP's 2016–2017 pattern that preceded a major rally. Projections based on this historical "cycle formula" suggest a possible move toward $8, $13 and $27, while warnings about a developing three‑month bearish Heikin-Ashi candle signal the risk of a deeper multi‑month correction if the quarter closes weak.

On Friday, Solana (SOL) fell nearly 4% after a second attempt this week to clear resistance near $144, while it continued to trade within a $120–$145 range. Market observer Crypto Batman sees scope for a pullback toward $128–$130 and November lows, while King Arthur flags a reclaim of $143–$152 toward $171.55. As of writing, SOL is $134.9, down 2.3% on the day.

K33 Research data showed that Bitcoin's price swings in 2025 were the smallest in its history, with annual volatility based on average daily return deviations at 2.24%, below the previous 2.30% low in 2023. Analysts link this subdued volatility to a maturing market, deeper institutional involvement, expanding crypto ETF offerings, and reduced regulatory uncertainty, even as Bitcoin traded around $90,240 with notable but comparatively milder corrections during the year.

As Ethereum heads toward the end of the year after a three‑month downtrend from its Q4 open at $4,145, several analysts still see room for a bullish move into early 2026. They note ETH is trading near the mid‑zone of a long‑term rising channel and above an eight‑month uptrend line, with some expecting a breakout from a one‑month symmetrical triangle that could target the $3,400 resistance in the first week of 2026. ETH is currently changing hands around $2,977 after largely moving between $2,800 and $3,000 in recent weeks.

On Tuesday, SlowMist released its 2025 Blockchain Security & AML Annual Report, estimating roughly $2.935 billion stolen in 2025, up 46% from 2024, even as incidents fell 51% to 200. DeFi logged 126 cases and about $649 million in losses, while CEX breaches (22) totaled $1.809 billion. The firm also noted 18 recovery or freeze events, with nearly $387 million secured from $1.95 billion in stolen funds.
