$XRP closed the day with clear indecision, hesitating just below a key resistance zone. A confirmed breakout and hold above $2.10 could flip momentum back to the upside.
Until that happens, $XRP will likely keep taking its direction from Bitcoin. Sometimes the best move is simply to stay patient and wait for confirmation.
$SOL is once again testing the $141–$145 area after bouncing from below $135.
In the past, this zone caused strong pullbacks. This time, the last dip was only about 3–4%, which shows buyers are getting stronger.
Technically, Solana is still trading above the 20, 50, 100, and 200 moving averages, keeping the structure bullish. However, on-chain growth has slowed, which means upside may stay limited without new demand.
👉 A clean break and hold above $145 could open the door to $165–$180. 👉 A rejection could mean more sideways action.
Reports suggest a Satoshi-era whale may be active again after years of silence, with claims of buying around 26,900 BTC (≈ $2.45B).
If this is confirmed on-chain, it would be one of the most significant whale reactivations in years and could signal strong confidence at current prices.
For now, this remains unconfirmed and should be treated cautiously until verified by reliable on-chain data.
In December, the U.S. added about 50,000 jobs, a bit less than expected. At the same time, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.4%, which is better than forecasts. This was also the first report not affected by last year’s government shutdown.
$BTC stayed calm after the news and held above $90,000, showing no big reaction.
Overall, the economy still looks okay, but the Fed’s next move is not very clear. Rates stayed the same for now, and the chance of a cut in March is getting a bit higher.

Testing a key support zone at 133–136, $SOL is holding the backbone of its bullish structure. If buyers continue defending this level, a bounce toward 145–146 is possible. Breaking below 133 could quickly turn the trend bearish. Right now, patience and discipline matter more than guessing the next move.
$XRP has moved from a downtrend into a base-building phase.
After a full sell-off and liquidity sweep, price has been consolidating in a tight range for weeks, suggesting selling pressure is fading. Markets often move strongly after long periods of consolidation. The next move is likely to be decisive.
Price is reacting from a long-term support zone and has broken out of a short-term bearish channel. This suggests buyers are slowly stepping back in and may try to push price toward higher resistance levels.
As long as $XRP holds above this base support, the outlook stays cautiously bullish. If this level fails, the recovery would likely weaken and downside pressure could return.
Early 2026 is already shaping up to be big for $XRP . CNBC points to strong price momentum and growing ETF inflows, signaling renewed institutional interest rather than just short-term hype. Could this be the alt leading the market this year?
Prediction market Polymarket is facing major backlash after refusing to settle over $10 million in bets on whether the U.S. invaded Venezuela following a recent U.S. military operation.

Critics say this highlights deeper issues around fairness, transparency, and how prediction markets interpret real-world events. The debate has reignited concerns about prediction market definitions and trust in crypto platforms.
