Crypto analytics data indicate that XRP whales accumulated more than 50 million XRP worth about $103 million over the last week while the price trades slightly above $2.05. At the same time, XRP balances on Binance have fallen from over 3 billion tokens before the October 10 crash to around 2.6 billion, the lowest level in roughly two years. This combination of large-scale accumulation and shrinking exchange reserves could set the stage for a potential supply-driven price move if current trends persist.

The state of Florida is advancing SB 1038, a bill to establish a Bitcoin-focused strategic reserve targeted for 2026, after narrowing the scope of an earlier, stalled proposal. The measure would create a standalone reserve under the state's finance department, limited to cryptocurrencies with an average market capitalization of at least $500 billion over the past two years, a threshold currently met only by Bitcoin. Florida's legislative process is still in early stages and trails other states, some of which have already approved or funded similar reserves.

According to Michael van de Poppe, Bitcoin has struggled to sustain moves above $88k, with fresh rejections near $90k over the past three weeks.

Samson Mow, Bitcoin maximalist and CEO of JAN3, described 2025 as a bearish year for BTC after it ended below $90,000 despite having set a new all-time high of $126,000 earlier.

While some analysts foresee scenarios ranging from a bullish reversal to a drop toward $60,000 in 2026, bulls and bears are both positioning for control of the market in the coming year.

At press time, Solana traded around 123 dollars with its RSI under 32, placing the asset in deeply oversold territory. Influencer Crypto Curb argued this setup has only appeared three times in the past 2.5 years, including July 2023 and April 2025, and suggested it preceded strong rebounds. While some users cautioned that oversold is not a buy signal, bullish sentiment for a recovery remained visible.
