Technical Analysis

Solana has retreated after late-summer gains, and X analysts reviewing price action from March 2024 warn a classical head‑and‑shoulders could extend losses toward $66.20 from about $132. Another trader sees a brief move to $134 before a drop. Others counter with targets at $152–$160, while SOL’s RSI sits near 69.

Bitcoin extended its slide on Monday, trading near $86,000 as the Coinbase Premium Index moved back below zero. The sub-zero reading points to softer U.S. buying interest amid rising volatility, while failed attempts to reclaim $92,000 and derisking in futures add to caution. A retest of the $82K–$84K area remains a risk if sentiment does not improve.

Invesco and Galaxy Asset Management launched the Invesco Galaxy Solana ETP (QSOL), a regulated vehicle offering spot exposure and staking within an institutional framework. The grantor trust supports cash and in‑kind creations and trades on Cboe BZX. SOL priced at $126.13, down 3.59% on the day and over 7% weekly, with volume near $4.8 billion.

SWFTCoin currently trades around $0.0048 after a long decline from its macro peak near $0.047, with a critical support zone identified at $0.0036 and a trigger level at $0.0083. Projections outline ranges for 2025, 2026, 2030 and 2050, with long-term scenarios tied to cross-chain swap demand and the role of SWFT Blockchain as a routing layer. The price framework spans from $0.0048 in conservative cases up to $0.2600 in optimistic 2050 targets, depending on adoption, integrations and broader market conditions.

Two Ethereum price charts shared on X outline separate bullish technical structures, one based on an inverse head and shoulders on the weekly timeframe and another on a Wyckoff accumulation schematic. The first setup, posted by Bitcoinsensus, sketches potential upside above $7,000 with an extended objective near $7,600, while the second, from Merlijn The Trader, maps a path toward the $10,000 region if Wyckoff Phase E "markup" unfolds. Both traders emphasize that these scenarios still require confirmation as the patterns evolve.

On 15 December 2025, Bitcoin's network saw a rapid, measurable drop in hash rate, with rough estimates pointing to nearly one-tenth of computing power going offline. Mining executives described the move as abnormal, and industry insiders attribute it to localized shutdowns in western China. The protocol is expected to rebalance via difficulty adjustments.

Bitcoin Cash traded around $546 after dropping below $550, while Bitcoin fell sharply to about $86,700. The BCH price, down roughly 4% in 24 hours, faces the risk of further losses toward $500, $450 or even $380 if wider market weakness persists. Technical indicators such as the RSI near 47 and a bearish MACD crossover suggest short-term downside, though a rebound toward $600 remains possible if momentum improves.

XRP is trading around $2 after slipping a little over 1% in the last 24 hours and 4% over the week. Analysts flag a bearish EMA ribbon flip, with short‑term resistance near $2.1 and support around $1.90–$2.05. Large holders remain active while ETF demand continues to build.

Market analyst Tony Severino from YouHodler says Bitcoin remains technically in an uptrend but is facing heavy resistance around the $100,000 area, which he views as a potential bull trap. He argues that failure to reclaim and hold above this level and a drop below the $74,000 support could confirm a bear market, with a possible downside target near $53,000. Severino also expects Ethereum to start outperforming Bitcoin and suggests that a shift in the ETH/BTC ratio could set the stage for a new altcoin phase in 2026.

On 15 December 2025, Bitcoin extended its retreat and moved toward the $87,000 area, with Binance's 4-hour chart showing sellers still in control after a rejection near recent highs. Key indicators such as RSI and MACD remain in weak territory, while market capitalization is around $1.74 trillion and 24-hour trading volume exceeds $34 billion. Traders are watching whether the $86,000–$87,000 zone can hold as support, as a breakdown could pave the way for a deeper pullback.
