According to DeepSeek AI, year-end 2025 projections put XRP at $3 on institutional flows, while Solana could climb up to 700% toward $400 with ETF inflows.

Longs face the most stress near $0.00777 and shorts near $0.0086, while price trades around $0.00816.

Bitcoin has retreated from around $126,000 to about $90,000 since early October, and analyst Mr. Wall Street believes a larger downturn may follow after a rebound toward $100,000. He cites weakening US economic data, delayed Federal Reserve easing, and multiple bearish technical signals as reasons for expecting BTC to slide first toward the $68,000–$74,000 zone and potentially down to $54,000–$60,000 by the fourth quarter of 2026. Another analyst, Doctor Profit, also maintains that Bitcoin is still in a bear market and has not yet found a bottom.

On January 1, 2026, Ripple plans to release up to 1 billion XRP from its long-running escrow program, marking the company's first scheduled token unlock of the year. The mechanism, launched in 2017, frees 1 billion XRP at the start of each month, with Ripple historically returning 60% to 80% to new escrows and retaining the rest for operational purposes. Traders are watching the January unlock for any impact on XRP's market dynamics, as the token recently traded around $1.98 after losing the $2 support level.

Bitcoin has been sliding lower after repeatedly failing to break the $95K resistance, keeping price action choppy and biased to the downside. Technical indicators on both the daily and 4-hour charts show BTC trading within bearish structures, with $88K as a key near-term support and a broader demand area around $80K. On-chain aSOPR is trending toward the 1.0 threshold, suggesting that a decisive break lower could trigger loss-taking and potential capitulation before any rebound.

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has slid to 16, close to 2025's low of 10, while Bitcoin trades around $88,900, about 30% below its $126,000 peak from October. Ethereum remains 36% under its August high and XRP has surrendered more than 40% of its value, even as spot XRP ETFs log 19 straight days of inflows totaling about $990.91 million. Despite extreme fear dominating sentiment, some traders are watching support between $80,000 and $85,000 for BTC as macro policy moves and liquidity shifts continue to drive volatility.
