Ethereum's price experienced a fresh decline, falling below $2,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The cryptocurrency is currently consolidating and facing potential further drops below $1,950. A bearish trend line forms, posing resistance at $1,980 on the hourly chart. Failure to surpass $2,000 could lead to additional declines, with immediate support near $1,920. If bulls fail to maintain action above $1,900, the price risks further bearish pressure. Key resistance levels are found at $1,960, the trend line, $2,000, and $2,020. Overcoming $2,020 may propel the price towards $2,165. Conversely, a continued downward trend could result in a drop to $1,850 and potentially $1,750. The hourly MACD is displaying bearish momentum, while the RSI is below 50. Major support is at $1,900, with $2,020 acting as a critical resistance level.

Michael Saylor reaffirmed his company's strategy of consistently purchasing Bitcoin, dismissing short-term market fluctuations. This steadfast commitment to accumulation is intended to build a long-term Bitcoin reserve, rather than a short-term trading position. The company's strategy involves quarterly Bitcoin purchases, aiming to smooth entry points over time. The company's substantial Bitcoin holdings, valued in the billions, make it one of the largest single Bitcoin holders globally. This large position, built over years and partly funded by debt, carries significant concentration risk. Bitcoin's volatile price movements can affect companies with significant crypto exposure, impacting their stock prices. The company's strategy involves considerable debt, including notes specifically for Bitcoin purchases. Bitcoin's recent correlation with tech stocks suggests it's influenced by market risk sentiment. While the company is committed to not selling, the long-term sustainability of debt-financed accumulation, especially during volatile markets, remains a key question. The future depends on market conditions and the interplay of price fluctuations and credit conditions.

XRP is experiencing a Wave 4 relief bounce following a significant price drop last week, indicating a possible capitulation event. This rebound shows building momentum after the aggressive sell-off, typical of a Wave 4 reaction. The price has already hit the initial Wave 4 target, around $1.52, coinciding with a key Fibonacci retracement level. The next critical level for XRP is $1.65, a confluence point, where a sustained break above would strengthen the recovery. Failure to hold $1.65 as support may lead to another price decline, with targets potentially around $1.09 or even $0.90. The RSI reset from oversold conditions suggests a potential bullish divergence if the price drops further. Breaking above $1.65 could signal a stronger recovery and offer a structured entry point. The analyst cautions against panic selling, as XRP is near the correction's end phase. Testing major technical levels has occurred, potentially signaling the start of a robust recovery. The final wave down might complete, or even fail, starting a stronger recovery phase.

An analysis by X Finance Bull compared the investment potential of XRP and Bitcoin from 2014. A $500 investment in XRP in 2014 would have grown to approximately $255,000 today. If the same amount was invested in Bitcoin, the investment would be worth roughly $133,000. XRP outperformed Bitcoin, delivering a 511-fold return compared to Bitcoin's 266-fold gain. XRP's growth benefited from early adoption and the development of its payment system. XRP's infrastructure developments, including ETFs and banking licenses, boosted its price. The launch of XRP Spot ETFs attracted significant institutional investment. Ripple's application for a national trust bank charter also contributed to growth. Investors who held XRP through volatile periods have been rewarded for their patience. Despite legal challenges, XRP has shown significant growth, surpassing $3 in 2025. Bitcoin has also seen significant growth, reaching over $126,000 in October 2025.

Bitcoin's price is shaped by a complex interplay of various factors, not just one dominant force like the halving cycle. These interacting forces include the halving cycle and broader economic cycles, creating a more intricate dynamic than single narratives suggest. The halving cycle, still significant for miners, impacts miner economics and the wider Bitcoin economy. Simply replacing one oversimplified explanation with another doesn't provide a better understanding of the situation. Analyzing cycle coupling and interactions with mathematical tools is a more effective approach. This method will likely reveal a richer structure where internal and external cycles interact in complex ways. A separate analysis focuses on a theoretical probability model used to estimate Bitcoin's price outcomes in short-term markets. This model accurately predicts market behavior within a narrow 1-5% range, reflecting its precision. The model's consistency suggests that bot-dominated markets, driven by algorithms and logical rules, are the primary drivers. This alignment between theoretical models and real-world market probabilities is evident.

Ethereum whales, holding over 1,000 ETH, have decreased their holdings by 1.5% over the past eleven weeks. This distribution trend began around Christmas, according to on-chain analytics firm Santiment. The "Supply Distribution" metric, tracking wallet groups, reveals this shift in ownership. Smaller retail investors, holding under 1 ETH, have increased their combined supply to a record 2.3%. Mid-tier wallets, holding 1 to 1,000 ETH, also saw their supply grow, exceeding 23% for the first time since July. The whales' selloff has pushed their holdings below 75%, a seven-month low. This distribution coincided with a significant drop in Ethereum's price. The current price of Ethereum is around $1,950, reflecting a 14% decline over the past week. Conversely, the largest Pepe coin wallets have been accumulating the memecoin over the past four months. These top wallets have purchased a significant amount of Pepe, potentially anticipating a future price increase. Santiment notes that such accumulation often precedes a breakout in meme coins, especially with sustained Bitcoin bullish momentum. The future Ethereum price action may depend on whether the whale distribution continues.
