XRP has dropped into Santiment's "fear zone," where strongly negative social sentiment has often appeared near local price bottoms. While trading around the $1.83–$1.87 support band, XRP is showing stabilizing price action and small higher lows on the 12-hour chart. On-chain and technical indicators such as CMF suggest selling pressure is easing and that capital may be starting to flow back into the market, increasing the odds of a near-term bounce.

XRP is trading near $1.92 after recovering the $1.80 support and holding above $1.90. Analysts cite either a double-bottom toward $2.3–$2.5 or a double-top risk that would put $1.77 and $0.8 back in play. The token's 24-hour volume is $2.24 billion, and it has declined over 1% daily and almost 4% weekly.

Dogecoin is stabilizing around $0.13 after modest 24-hour gains, while still underperforming on a weekly view. Momentum signals, including a daily RSI in the mid-40s and a flattening MACD, suggest selling pressure is easing. A 2-hour inverse head-and-shoulders near $0.13 puts $0.14–$0.15 in focus if the $0.12–$0.13 support range remains intact.

Shiba Inu is signaling a potential rebound as its hourly chart approaches a golden cross, with the 9-day and 26-day moving averages nearing convergence around $0.000007271. SHIB trades near $0.000007328 with a modest 0.38% daily gain, while 24-hour volume has climbed to $93.52 million amid ongoing volatility below the $0.00001 level and inconsistent token burns. Despite recent supply reductions via dead wallets, persistent sell-offs and bearish sentiment suggest a sustained rally may be difficult without a stronger catalyst from the current technical setup.

On 18 December, a coalition of over 125 crypto firms and advocacy groups urged the US Senate Banking Committee to oppose expanding the GENIUS Act, challenging banking lobby efforts to limit stablecoin returns.

CoinShares' latest weekly report shows XRP-based products attracting $62.9 million of inflows, a 34% increase from the prior week's $46.9 million and the largest positive figure among major assets.

XRP's price hovered around $1.93 on Monday, as institutions continued shifting capital away from Bitcoin and Ethereum toward XRP exposure.

On Dec. 17, 2025, Wu Blockchain shared a Fundstrat client note projecting a first‑half 2026 pullback, with Ethereum targeted at $1,800–$2,000. The memo, credited to Sean Farrell, also set BTC at $60,000–$65,000 and SOL at $50–$75, while urging near‑term caution. Farrell added on Dec. 20 that he still expects new ATHs by year‑end.

On December 22, 2025, Kaspa traded above $0.048 after gaining more than 6% in 24 hours while approaching the $0.05 resistance level.

Technical indicators now point to a possible bullish continuation, with traders watching higher price targets if momentum persists.
