As Christmas and New Year approach, the enthusiasm in the cryptocurrency market seems to be cooling down. Last Tuesday, a set of data revealed the clues: Bitcoin spot ETF experienced a net outflow of $188.6 million in a single day, with BlackRock's IBIT showing the most significant decline; Ethereum spot ETF also faced a net outflow of $95.5 million, contrasting sharply with the previous day's net inflow of funds. What is behind this wave of selling? Industry insiders point out that year-end market mechanisms are at play. Factors such as insufficient liquidity, portfolio rebalancing, and profit-taking are intertwined. Additionally, many investors choose to exit with profits and complete tax arrangements at year-end, which also increases selling pressure. However, this is not all pessimistic signals. It is worth noting that not all crypto assets are retreating. Ripple and Solana spot ETFs have attracted capital inflows, indicating market divergence—some investors are exiting while others are selecting specific assets. In contrast, the U.S. stock market on Tuesday showed a different scene. The S&P 500 index hit a new all-time high again, and the U.S. stock market advanced across the board. With the market closing early on the 24th and Christmas holiday on the 25th, the true turning points may only emerge after the long holiday. The release of economic data and market response rhythms will be key windows to observe the market trend at the beginning of 2026.

Looking at XRP's candlestick chart, a clear underwater death cross weighs heavily on my mind. Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF holdings have already exceeded 100 million coins, and institutions hold positions worth $200 million. On one hand, positive news is being released, but on the other hand, technical indicators are still showing a downtrend. What does the market really want? Institutional accumulation indeed indicates long-term optimism, but the effect of this reassurance is slow in the short term, and the current decline cannot be stopped. Therefore, the key still depends on technical analysis to set the rhythm—news influences sentiment, while technicals determine buy and sell points. Chasing after positive news often leads to undesirable outcomes. Let's analyze the technicals. The 1-hour chart clearly shows that the downtrend is still ongoing. Both MACD lines are below the zero axis, indicating a weak underwater death cross signal. The resistance levels above need close attention: 1.8760 is the first hurdle, and above that, 1.9500 is a strong resistance zone. Without significant positive news, breaking through in one go is unlikely. Looking downward, 1.8250 can hold for a while, but if it breaks below, support around 1.7700 will come into play. A key detail is that recent trading volume has been shrinking, indicating weakening selling pressure, and signs of a rebound are already brewing. The conclusion is simple: current market behavior is oscillating sideways. Buying on dips and selling on rallies is the most reliable strategy. Wait for clear signals from the technicals before taking action—it's much more dependable than blindly chasing highs.
