XRP Price Stalls Below $2.10 as Sellers Hold Line at Key Resistance

XRP has bounced from support above $2.020 and is trading over $2.050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average while facing resistance near $2.0850 and $2.10. A close above $2.120 could see the price revisit $2.160 and potentially the $2.20–$2.2650 area. Failure to clear $2.10 may instead trigger another decline toward $1.950 and even $1.850. Technical indicators show the MACD in negative territory and the hourly RSI below 50, pointing to persistent downside pressure at resistance.

MANTRA challenges OKX plan for OM migration on Dec 22–25, citing Jan 15, 2026 deprecation rule

On December 5, 2025, OKX laid out plans to end OM services and migrate users by late December, prompting a warning from MANTRA CEO JP Mullin on December 8. MANTRA says Governance Proposal 26 allows migration only after ERC-20 OM is deprecated on January 15, 2026 and links the timing to further technical review. The project is urging users to keep direct custody of their OM and withdraw from OKX, arguing that the exchange’s dates conflict with official governance rules.

Top crypto whales add over $425M in Ethereum longs as price reclaims $3,150 support

Ethereum rebounded above $3,150 after a volatile decline, while broader market sentiment remains split between expectations of further downside and hopes for a bull cycle into 2026. On-chain data from Hyperdash, shared by Lookonchain, shows several of the most profitable whale traders have opened Ethereum long positions totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. Large allocations by BitcoinOG, the Anti-CZ whale, and pension-usdt.eth indicate these players view recent ETH lows as a buying opportunity rather than a warning signal.
