This week, the cryptocurrency market experienced a sharp downward correction; however, leading digital assets have now stabilized. BTC is trading around 89,600.00 (–6.1%), ETH near 2,950.00 (–11.6%), USDT around 0.9991 (–0.09%), BNB at 890.00 (–6.3%), and XRP near 1.9050 (–7.4%). Total market capitalization stands at $3.02 trillion, while Bitcoin’s market dominance has increased to 59.2%. At the same time, Bitcoin ETF balances declined by $1.220 billion, and Ethereum ETF balances fell by $559.0 million.
The SOL/USD pair had been trading within a prolonged downtrend, forming a corresponding descending channel. However, in mid-November, prices entered a sideways range of 150.00–125.00 (Murray level [6/8]), where they remain to this day. This week, the price reached the lower boundary of this range amid declining investor appetite for risk assets, triggered by statements from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the possible annexation of Greenland. A breakdown below the 125.00 level could send the pair toward 107.40 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement, Murray level [1/8]) and 100.00 (Murray level [0/8]). Conversely, if the price consolidates above the middle Bollinger Band at 137.50 (Murray level [6/8]), upward momentum may resume toward the upper boundary of the sideways range at 150.00 and further to 162.50 (Murray level [+2/8], 38.2% Fibonacci retracement).
Last week, the BTC/USD pair attempted to advance toward the 97,830.00 area, but the move proved unsustainable. According to a Glassnode report, the upside was driven mainly by a modest inflow into derivatives and the liquidation of some short positions, rather than by steady accumulation on the spot market. As a result, a price correction began on Friday amid geopolitical and regulatory pressures, and BTC ultimately lost about 3.6% of its value, currently holding near the 92,500.00 level.
Dr. Andreas Beck has acknowledged that he underestimated Bitcoin’s resilience, while at the same time surprising the financial community with new theses about BTC. In a conversation with Martin Kerscher of comdirect, Beck stated: “This is the best example of me being wrong.” He added: “I never thought that [Bitcoin] would be so resilient to the bursting of its marketing bubbles.”
This week, the cryptocurrency market showed mixed dynamics: after an active rally in major digital assets, most instruments have now moved into a corrective phase. BTC is trading near 95,500.00 (+5.4%), ETH around 3,300.00 (+5.9%), USDT at 0.9992 (+0.08%), BNB — which has returned to fourth place — at 935.00 (+3.5%), while XRP stands at 2.0700 (–0.4%). Total market capitalization amounts to $3.23 trillion, with Bitcoin’s dominance at 59.1%. Over the past four sessions, Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $1.811 trillion, while Ethereum ETFs attracted $474.6 million. In addition, the Fear and Greed Index has entered the “Greed” zone at a reading of 61 for the first time since October last year.
SOL/USD. The SOL/USD pair has been posting strong gains since the end of last year and reached three-month highs near 148.60 yesterday. As with other digital assets, the token is currently supported by both geopolitical and monetary factors.
The BTC/USD pair remains within a medium-term downtrend, although last week’s price action was mixed. After U.S. forces launched Operation “Midnight Hammer” and Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were reportedly arrested on narco-terrorism charges, BTC rallied toward 94,700.00. Later, however, concerns about a potential January pause in the Federal Reserve’s easing cycle resurfaced, and “digital gold” gave back all of its gains. Today, price is attempting to regain upside momentum, with escalating tensions between the White House and the Fed potentially acting as a key catalyst.
The cryptocurrency market continues to recover, but the recent gains in Bitcoin and Ethereum appear fragile. XRP is already showing signs of weakness.
This week, major digital assets attempted to extend their upward momentum, but by now most have surrendered a significant portion of their gains. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near 90,900.00 (–0.3%), Ethereum (ETH) around 3,100.00 (–1.3%), USDT close to 0.9999 (+0.01%), XRP—having returned to fourth place by market capitalization—around 2.1300 (–1.6%), and BNB near 895.00 (–0.1%). Total crypto market capitalization stood at $3.11 trillion by the end of the week, while Bitcoin’s dominance declined to 58.2%. Over the same period, Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $430.9 million, while Ethereum ETFs recorded inflows of $25.2 million.
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.
