As of this writing, $XRP price was trading at $2.2, down 2.97% in the last 24 hours and 6.8% within the past week. Brett, a popular crypto analyst on social media platform X, disclosed that $XRP has broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern in its price movements. “You didn’t survive the whole $XRP bear market to get shaken out in the middle of the bull market. Don’t give up now,” Brett advised XRP investors in an X post. The analyst claims $XRP will climb higher if the bulls dominate the price movement. According to Brett, the next key support to watch lies between between $3.62 and $4.3. The analyst sees a possibility of $XRP rallying toward $5.73 if it breaks out of the key support levels.

Bitcoin traders rapidly adjust their short-term BTC price outlook as support fails and BTC $BGB Bitcoin starts Christmas week at a bearish crossroads as BTC price support thins and forecasters see a chance of a major dip.

The macro climate, more broadly, is once again uncertain. Last week, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by a predicted 0.25% while conjuring a hawkish stance on 2025.

Commenting on the topic, trading resource The Kobeissi Letter saw another liquidity headwind for Bitcoin in particular. “In the past, Bitcoin prices have followed global money supply with ~10 week lag,” it wrote on X at the weekend. “As global money supply hit a new record of $108.5 trillion in October, Bitcoin prices reached an all-time high of $108,000.

Bitcoin DCA signal flashes after two-months After a two-month absence, BTC price action has returned to levels that a dedicated buying indicator says will be profitable. The so-called Smart DCA tool from onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant highlights when BTC/USD is trading below its short-term realized price. Realized price refers to the aggregate price at which the supply last moved. Smart DCA uses transactions occurring between a week and a month prior to the date of observation to determine comparatively lower price levels and, thus, potentially lucrative buying opportunities. DCA refers to dollar-cost averaging — the practice of buying BTC with a set amount of capital at regular intervals. At $95,000, BTC/USD is now in a “favorable zone for implementing a DCA strategy,” CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost wrote in one of its Quicktake blog posts this weekend. “Employing a DCA strategy helps mitigate the impact of volatility and reduce associated risks, making it a prudent approach depending on market conditions,” he explained. “This tool, when used alongside an understanding of broader market trends and sentiment, can deliver valuable insights for making informed investment decisions.” Bitcoin Smart DCA chart (screenshot).

In an X post on Dec. 22, research firm Santiment revealed what it described as the “highest FUD spiral of the year” among social media users.
