An unprecedented volume of options is set to expire on the cryptocurrency market, potentially acting as a catalyst for Bitcoin to break out of its prolonged sideways range. As expected, the market is showing a modest Christmas rally during the holiday period. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is holding near $89,123, up roughly 1.6% on the day. Altcoins are also benefiting from thinner holiday liquidity: Ethereum (ETH) is up about 1.3%, while XRP shows a more muted gain of 0.2%.

During the Christmas holidays, liquidity on cryptocurrency exchanges traditionally declines, and this year the market clearly demonstrated the risks associated with thin trading conditions. On Binance, the price of Bitcoin briefly collapsed by more than 70%, dropping to around $24,000.

Historically, a so-called Christmas rally occurs in the stock market in around 78% of cases. However, the cryptocurrency market has yet to confirm a similar scenario. Clear signs of a trend reversal are still absent.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the authorities of El Salvador continue negotiations on the second review of the country’s Extended Fund Facility (EFF) program. The talks focus on fiscal reforms, financial stability measures, the future of the state-backed Chivo wallet, and the next phase of the country’s Bitcoin project.

XRP/USD Forecast:

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]).

The Bank of Russia has drafted a structured framework to regulate access to cryptocurrencies inside the country, signalling a shift from strict resistance toward controlled legalization. The new approach defines who can buy crypto assets, in what amounts, and through which channels. The regulator plans to integrate crypto trading into a licensed financial infrastructure by mid-2026 while aiming to reduce consumer and systemic risks.

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.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has again called for federal oversight of prediction markets in the United States. In his view, these platforms should fall under the jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), rather than being subject to a patchwork of state-level bans. The core question in the debate is whether prediction markets are financial instruments or should be treated as a form of gambling — an interesting and valid point, in FORECK.INFO’s view.

For crypto, the framework is similar to traditional financial markets but comes with its own twist. Here, price action turns on liquidity, adoption, regulation, and flows from institutions alongside retail sentiment. Network health—hash rate, staking, active wallets—adds another layer. Macro still matters too: rates, dollar strength, and risk appetite shape inflows and outflows. Then, as with any market, you use the chart—trend, support and resistance, momentum, and volume—to spot setups and manage risk.
