December 22: BTC, ETH, SOL, LIGHT, MERL, PIPPIN Market Analysis
Bitcoin saw low liquidity and reduced volatility over the weekend but halted its downward trend, climbing back to around $90,000. The weekly chart shows signs of stabilization, with limited downside and potential upside in the coming month. Macro conditions currently don’t support further decline.
BTC is trading at $89,240, still in a broad consolidation range. Key resistance is at 89.5K–90K; a break above could signal further gains. Key support lies at 87,900, with major resistance near 100,000 and strong support around 78,000–79,000.
ETH has consolidated and reclaimed $3,000. Long positions can consider partial profit-taking or break-even stops. Next targets are $3,144 and $3,269. A pullback to $2,980–$2,950 may offer entry opportunities.
SOL has shown weak momentum, with less than 3% gains over three days. It faces strong resistance near $134, making it a candidate for shorting. Further downside is expected after a potential brief rebound.
LIGHT experienced a sharp drop with little buyer reaction. Such altcoins often have short cycles and high risk. Caution is advised—avoid FOMO. Better opportunities may lie in tokens like XPIN, NIGHT, and BEAT after clearer signals emerge.
MERL has repeatedly failed to hold above $0.50 due to heavy selling pressure, especially with large unlocks in mid-December. A drop toward $0.30 is likely, making it a candidate for short positions with a stop above $0.52.
PIPPIN has surged over 200% but shows signs of a double top formation on the daily chart, indicating a likely peak. The second peak was missed but confirms a probable reversal.
Overall, the market remains cautious with selective opportunities. Major coins like BTC and ETH show resilience, while altcoins require careful timing and risk management.
