Large Ether holders increased purchases while price remains below $3,000. Since Nov. 4, one "66k ETH Borrow Whale" accumulated 569,247 ETH ($1.69 billion), and in the past 24 hours Bitmine bought 67,886 ETH ($201 million). About 70% of derivatives positions are net long, and ETH's leverage ratio hit 0.611 last week.

In the last 12 hours, according to CoinGlass, Solana saw an 8,392% liquidation imbalance as $4.94 million in long positions were erased. SOL tested the $124.11–$125.42 death cross zone at $125.28 before sliding to $120.78, and it now trades at $121.43 with volume down 14.93% to $2.74 billion.

XRP is finishing December 2025 down about -13.44%, trading near $1.8653 on the monthly chart while the Bollinger midband sits around $1.8193. If the monthly close holds above roughly $1.82, the upper band near $3.60 becomes the next upside reference; a close below would restore downside levels.

Ethereum remains capped beneath the $3,300–$3,700 supply zone, with the 200‑day and 100‑day moving averages acting as resistance. Price is hovering above $2,800 support, and open interest is around $18B. A loss of $2,800 may trigger a quick move toward $2,600, while failure to clear resistance increases the odds of a pullback toward $2,700.
