Zcash climbed through $1,000 while Bitcoin briefly traded above $82,000 after a softer signal from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller drew buyers back to risk assets. The move lifted the wider crypto market to its highest valuation in more than seven months, although strong US employment data later cooled the rally.

By John Isige XRP/USD outlook: The XRP/USD pair is trading within a medium-term bearish trend, forming a corresponding descending channel. Last week, the price attempted a corrective rebound amid expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will continue its easing cycle next year, alongside the Bank of Japan’s rate hike. XRP tested the Bollinger Bands midline at 1.9531 (Murrey level [0/8]) and then resumed its decline, keeping downside targets at 1.6420 (Fibonacci retracement 61.8%) and 1.4648 (Murrey level [–2/8], H4). On the other hand, a sustained break above the upper Bollinger Band at 2.1484 (Murrey level [2/8]) would allow the asset to exit the range to the upside and move toward 2.3437 (Murrey level [4/8], Fibonacci retracement 38.2%) and 2.5390 (Murrey level [6/8]).
By John Isige Last week, the ETH/USD pair showed mixed price action. Initially, amid uncertainty over the Fed’s policy path for next year, quotes slipped to three-week lows around 2772.00 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement). However, by the end of the week—after November inflation data showed a year-on-year slowdown from 3.0% to 2.7% and increased expectations of a near-term shift toward looser monetary conditions—price stabilized near 3000.00, where it is trading now.
By John Isige Since their launch, spot XRP ETFs have recorded steady capital inflows, clearly outperforming funds tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum. The products, which debuted in November, have so far avoided a single day of net outflows, making them one of the most resilient segments within the crypto ETF market at this stage.
By John Isige The SOL/USD pair is trading within a medium-term downtrend, forming a corresponding channel. However, since the middle of last month, prices have shifted into sideways movement within the 125.00–150.00 range (Murray levels [2/8]–[4/8]) amid rising global monetary and trade uncertainty. The instrument is now once again attempting to consolidate below the lower boundary of this range in order to continue its decline toward the targets at 100.00 (Murray level [0/8]) and 75.00 (Murray level [–2/8]). A breakout above 150.00 (Murray level [4/8]), reinforced by the upper Bollinger Band, would allow prices to exit the descending channel through the upper boundary, signaling a potential trend reversal and opening the way toward the 187.50 (Murray level [7/8]) and 200.00 (Murray level [8/8], Fibonacci retracement 23.6%) area.
By John Isige During the current week, the XRP/USD pair continued to develop its downward momentum in line with the broader market trend, testing a five-week low at 1.8554 (Murray level [–1/8]). Bearish sentiment among investors is being reinforced by uncertainty surrounding the future course of US Federal Reserve monetary policy, as well as by expectations of a potential peaceful resolution of the Russia–Ukraine conflict under a Republican White House administration, which is weighing on demand for defensive assets.
By John Isige ETH/USD is developing a medium-term bearish trend while pulling back toward a longer-term uptrend. However, over the past three weeks, price action has mostly consolidated in a sideways range of 3170.00–2765.00 (50.0% Fibonacci retracement; Murray level [–2/8] — 61.8% Fibonacci retracement; Murray level [1/8]) as investors stay cautious amid monetary-policy and geopolitical uncertainty. The pair is currently hovering near the lower boundary of this range, and a sustained break below it could open the way toward 2187.50 (Murray [–1/8]) and 1875.00 (Murray [–2/8]). If price breaks above 3437.50 (Murray [3/8]), a bullish breakout from the descending channel becomes more likely, with upside targets at 4062.50 (Murray [–5/8], 23.6% Fibonacci retracement) and 4687.50 (Murray [7/8]).
