\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHere are the possible paths ahead for XRP, ETH, and BTC. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Ripple\u2019s native token has had a volatile week, with its price hovering between $1.80 and $1.90. The question now is whether the bulls can seize control and initiate a decisive move to the upside.<\/p>\n
Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) have also endured substantial turbulence, and some analysts believe they could be gearing up for a solid start to the year.<\/p>\n
The asset\u2019s price briefly exceeded $1.90 on December 29, but the bears intercepted the move and suppressed the valuation. As of this writing, it trades at around $1.88 (per CoinGecko\u2019s data), representing a 2% increase on a daily scale.<\/p>\n
Several hours ago, the popular X user Ali Martinez noted<\/a> that the TD Sequential indicator had flashed \u201ca macro buy signal\u201d on XRP, meaning a more significant rebound could be on the way. Prior to that, BitGuru argued<\/a> that the asset is at a pivotal moment, which has historically led to a major rally.<\/p>\n \u201cXRP price is now compressing near key support after trend exhaustion. This is typically where smart money starts positioning early before the next directional move.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Meanwhile, the amount of XRP tokens stored on centralized platforms continues to decline. X user Niels revealed<\/a> that exchange balances have fallen from 3.76 billion coins in October 2025 to approximately 1.6 billion as of the end of December. Such a development is usually seen as bullish since it reduces the immediate selling pressure.<\/p>\n The second-largest cryptocurrency started the new year slightly below $3,000, but it reclaimed that psychological level several hours ago. According<\/a> to X user Gerla, \u201ca clean break\u201d above that mark opens the door to a 15-20% move in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n CyrilXBT chipped in, too. They noted<\/a> that ETH has been testing the $3K zone numerous times recently and every time it sits around it long enough, \u201cpeople get bored, call it dead\u2026 then it moves when no one\u2019s ready.\u201d<\/p>\n The analyst assumed the following months could be highly beneficial for the asset, envisioning the rise to a new all-time high of around $7,000 and the explosion beyond $10,000 sometime next year.<\/p>\n The market observer using the moniker JAVON MARKS is also bullish. They think<\/a> ETH is capable of breaking multiple resistance points in the near future and surging to the specific target of $4,811.71. Once that level is exceeded, the price may skyrocket above $8,500, the analyst added.<\/p>\n The leading digital asset is also in the green today (January 2), with its price jumping past $89,000. Analyst The Swing Trader recently claimed<\/a> that BTC has been forming \u201ca very tight pennant\u201d for the past six weeks, suggesting that breaking this pattern to the upside could lead to a pump above $100,000, while in the opposite case, it might result in a plunge toward $75,000.<\/p>\n JAVON MARKS stands clearly on the bullish side, envisioning<\/a> an ascent to $126,200, while Crypto GEMs predicted<\/a> that the asset\u2019s valuation could explode above $200,000 \u201csoon.\u201d<\/p>\n At the same time, some analysts presented a more cautious thesis. X user Crypto Tony expects<\/a> a pullback after the positive start to the year, whereas Ted believes<\/a> every pump will be rejected until BTC breaks above $90K, citing \u201cstrong spot demand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
