BTC, SOL, and ETH, Retain Their Trending Positions Despite New Names Making Their Spots

Despite new entrants like RTX, ESPORTS, ZBT, and UIUI gaining traction, major cryptocurrencies BTC, SOL, and ETH maintain their trending positions. Bitcoin remains dominant with a value of $87,529.36, despite a slight dip, and is anticipated to surpass $100k. SOL, positioned 9th, trades around $125.02 with significant trading volume growth. ETH, though below $3k, holds the 6th spot with increased activity. The global crypto market cap stands at $2.97 trillion, slightly down after briefly exceeding $3 trillion. Market observers suggest this could be an opportunity to buy the dip ahead of potential all-time highs.

Zcash [ZEC] builds pressure as $4.12 mln exits Kraken – Is a squeeze forming?

A newly created wallet withdrew 7,714 ZEC (worth $4.12 million) from Kraken in coordinated batches, reducing immediate sell pressure and tightening exchange supply. Despite no immediate price reaction, historical patterns suggest such outflows often precede delayed upward moves. ZEC has formed a rounded bottom, defending the $300–$320 zone and pushing into the $520–$550 resistance area. MACD signals recovering momentum. However, shorts dominate derivatives positioning with a 65.35% short ratio, creating positioning risk as price refuses to break lower. Short liquidations reached $1.77 million versus only $182,000 in long liquidations, indicating growing stress on bears. Funding rates have stabilized near neutral, showing reduced bearish leverage without excessive long speculation. The combination of shrinking supply, crowded shorts, and controlled leverage supports a potential upside move toward $800, driven by positioning pressure rather than speculation.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Continues Outflows While Solana and XRP Record Largest Inflow

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs continued significant outflows, with $443 million and $59.5 million withdrawn respectively in the past week, contributing to a total of $3.2 billion in outflows since October. Despite this, year-to-date inflows remain strong at $46.3 billion. In contrast, Solana and XRP ETFs saw their largest weekly inflows since inception, with XRP attracting $79 million and Solana over $7.5 million. This divergence indicates a cautious yet selective investor approach, with capital rotating toward newer altcoin products despite broader market uncertainty. The U.S. led outflows, while Germany showed opportunistic buying during dips.

Cardano Declared “Back in Business” as Bullish Diamond Bottom Holds

Cardano (ADA) is showing signs of a potential bullish reversal after successfully retesting the support level of a multi-year diamond bottom formation on its weekly chart. The pattern, which began forming in April 2018, saw ADA break out in October 2023 and rally significantly into early 2024. After a correction, the token retested the diamond support around $0.27 in August 2024, leading to a 389% surge. Following another pullback, ADA recently retested the same critical support level again, with analysts interpreting this as a confirmation of the pattern's validity. This successful retest suggests a possible renewed bullish momentum, with one analyst maintaining a long-term price target of $48.

PUMP’s $615 mln cashout and a 60% drop: The story investors can’t ignore

Despite implementing $72 million in buybacks in October and November to support the market, PUMP’s price dropped a combined 60% in Q4, erasing all gains from the previous quarter. This decline occurred alongside $615 million in USDC transfers to Kraken, raising concerns about potential profit extraction rather than bullish momentum. Ongoing legal issues and weak technicals suggest growing downside risk, shaking investor confidence in the memecoin launchpad.

What The Rise In Open Interest Means For The Dogecoin Price

Dogecoin's open interest, which had reached all-time highs in September, crashed to 2024 lows by mid-December, reflecting declining investor participation amid a falling price. However, it has since recovered, climbing back above $1.5 billion, suggesting traders are returning. Historically, rising open interest has often preceded price recoveries, as seen in September when it peaked alongside a near $0.3 DOGE price. This trend indicates a potential price bottom is forming. Despite this, daily trading volume remains at yearly lows, consistent with broader crypto market bearishness and extreme fear, where low liquidity suppresses prices.

Bloomberg's Review: 11 Key Trades to Understand the Global Financial Markets in 2025

Bloomberg's 2025 financial market review highlights 11 key trades that defined a year of high-stakes bets and sharp reversals. Cryptocurrency saw a fleeting boom in Trump-affiliated meme coins and assets, which ultimately crashed, demonstrating that political hype couldn't override crypto's volatile cycles. Michael Burry’s bearish bets on AI giants Nvidia and Palantir exposed underlying skepticism in tech valuations. European defense stocks surged due to geopolitical shifts and increased military spending, while the "debasement trade" drove gold to record highs, though its effectiveness was mixed. South Korea’s equity market rallied over 70%, fueled by pro-market policies and foreign investment, yet domestic retail investors remained skeptical. A notable showdown between short-seller Jim Chanos and bitcoin bull Michael Saylor ended with Strategy's premium collapsing. Japan’s government bonds, long a "widow maker" trade, finally paid off for shorts as yields soared. Credit markets saw intense inter-creditor conflicts, with firms like Pimco profiting from tactical moves. Mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Meme surged on privatization plans. A popular Turkish carry trade imploded overnight due to political turmoil, and recurring credit crises hinted at deeper systemic risks, prompting warnings of more "cockroaches" in the market.

Solana (SOL) Gathers Strength: Can the Recent Bullish Spike Propel Prices Higher?

The cryptocurrency market cap has surpassed $3 trillion, with Solana (SOL) posting a modest 2.95% gain. After opening lower around $123.07, SOL broke through several key resistance levels, reaching a high of $129.30. Trading at $127.34 at press time, its market cap hit $72.05 billion, and daily trading volume surged over 143% to $3.8 billion. Technical indicators suggest a bullish outlook. The MACD line crossed above the signal line, indicating strengthening short-term momentum. The CMF value of 0.15 shows moderate buying pressure, and the daily RSI at 62.95 leaves room for further upward movement without being overbought. The Bull Bear Power (BBP) reading of 6.29 signals strong bullish dominance. If the bullish momentum continues, SOL could challenge the $129.51 resistance and aim for its recent high near $131. Conversely, a bearish turn could see the price drop toward the $125.34 support, potentially falling below $123.10. The market witnessed $10.92 million in SOL liquidations in the last 24 hours.

Hoskinson Says Bitcoin Could Hit $250K In 2026, Lays Out How Altcoins May Finally Decouple

In a recent interview, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson predicted Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by 2026, driven by institutional demand. He emphasized the need for non-custodial lending systems to allow Bitcoin holders to access stablecoins and participate in DeFi without sacrificing custody. This could channel trillions into altcoins, fostering broader adoption. Hoskinson also compared Ethereum and Solana, noting Solana's agility may favor growth, while Ethereum remains foundational. He discussed Cardano's research-driven approach and highlighted Midnight, a new partner chain, as a potential fourth-generation blockchain with significant market potential.

Why traders are abandoning NFTs for high-turnover memecoins

NFT trading activity has significantly declined, with volume becoming dominated by just two major marketplaces, OpenSea and Blur, while smaller platforms fade. Traders have shifted their attention and capital to high-turnover memecoins, particularly on the Solana network. Memecoins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and newer Solana-based tokens offer fast, low-cost trading, allowing for quick entries and exits—aligning with the current preference for speed and flexibility. This shift is driven by the desire for more engaging, accessible assets that don’t require large upfront investment or long holding periods, making memecoins the new focus for speculative activity.
