Solana is grinding higher in a clear uptrend, showing strong and controlled bullish continuation near local highs.
Price is holding above EMA 7 / 25 / 99 on the 1H chart after a clean impulsive move from 124. Market structure remains healthy with higher highs and higher lows. Current consolidation just below 133 looks like a classic bull flag.
BREAKING: Bitcoin Prints Second Straight Green Day in 2026
Bitcoin just recorded its second consecutive daily green candle this year, a small but important signal as the market starts to build momentum.
After a long period of consolidation, early strength like this often reflects improving sentiment rather than pure speculation. While it doesn’t confirm a trend yet, it shows buyers are stepping in and defending price.
2026 is just getting started, but early price action suggests this could be a very important year for $BTC if momentum continues.
Bitcoin proved resilience. Ethereum is now proving scalability.
Ethereum’s daily transaction volume has reached a new all-time high, surpassing levels seen during the 2021 NFT and DeFi boom. The 7-day average recently climbed to around 1.87M transactions, well above the previous record.
More importantly, active wallets rose to ~729K, and new address creation exceeded 270K in a single day, the strongest inflow since 2018. Despite higher activity, fees remained relatively stable.
This growth is being driven by real network upgrades and institutional usage such as stablecoins, RWAs, and ETF-related flows, not speculative hype.
Ethereum continues to strengthen its role as core settlement infrastructure.
🚨 WORLD’S “HIGHEST IQ” HOLDER YOUNGHOON KIM PREDICTS #BITCOIN AT $276,000 BY FEBRUARY 2026

Bold call or future reality? The clock is ticking. ⏳🚀
Solana is showing strength beneath the surface as 2026 begins, even while price remains below $130.
On-chain data points to whale accumulation during consolidation, a pattern often linked to long-term positioning. Network activity remains strong, with Solana recording $1.6T in DEX trading volume, ranking just behind Binance and outperforming many centralized exchanges.
However, rising NVT and falling open interest suggest short-term caution. SOL is holding near its 20-day EMA around $125, with $130 acting as the key level to watch.

$SOL ALERT: While price is flat, Solana’s on-chain activity is surging — overtaking centralized exchanges in volume and transactions. Selling pressure is easing, usage is rising, and metrics like NVT are improving before price reacts. Flat price + growing demand isn’t weakness. It’s compression. When $SOL moves, it won’t wait.

While the broader market remains cautious, XRP ETFs continue to attract steady inflows.
Over just two days, spot XRP ETFs added 10.8M XRP with no recorded outflows. Total ETF holdings have now reached 756M XRP, extending a 29-day inflow streak.
Most of the demand came from Bitwise and Franklin, with Grayscale also adding exposure. In contrast, BTC and ETH ETFs experienced net outflows throughout December.
The data suggests quiet accumulation rather than speculative inflows.
Spot ETF flows on Dec. 31 (ET) showed continued pressure on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $348M in net outflows, with none of the 12 funds seeing inflows. Ethereum spot ETFs also saw $72.06M in net outflows, with all nine ETFs posting zero inflows.
In contrast, Solana spot ETFs recorded $2.29M in net inflows, while XRP spot ETFs saw $5.58M in inflows.
The data shows risk still coming out of BTC and ETH ETFs, while selective interest remains in certain altcoin products.
Grayscale’s 2026 outlook expects Bitcoin to reach new all-time highs in the first half of 2026 and notes that the 20 millionth BTC is projected to be mined around March 2026.
The main message is simple: 2026 could be driven more by real build-out than speculation, especially as crypto keeps integrating into traditional finance and regulation continues to mature.
Bitcoin is once again trading near the upper Bear Band, a level that has historically appeared late in market cycles.
While price remains above long-term trend support, momentum is starting to flatten. In previous cycles, similar conditions often resulted in a prolonged distribution phase rather than immediate continuation.
If the market follows historical patterns, potential mean-reversion zones may appear around $62K, $43K, and $27K.
This does not imply an immediate crash. Instead, it suggests compressed risk, where upside becomes harder and downside sensitivity increases.
Quiet markets often hide strong positioning. With the Fed expected to hold rates, risk assets remain supported—especially leading tech.

Financial markets are moving quietly but with intent today. The Fed is likely to keep rates unchanged in January, with odds sitting near 87 percent, a sign that policy makers are staying cautious. On the tech side, NVIDIA is close to securing AI21 Labs in a multibillion dollar deal that could sharpen its AI edge. Meanwhile, Mexico prepares to raise tariffs on Chinese imports up to 35 percent this week, and India may face the same treatment shortly after. Big picture, trade tensions and tech expansion are reshaping global flows and could guide market sentiment in the coming months. $BTC {spot}(BTCUSDT) $AT {spot}(ATUSDT) $SOL {spot}(SOLUSDT)
According to Token Terminal, developers deployed 8.7 million new smart contracts, the highest quarterly total in the network’s history. This marks a strong recovery after weaker activity in the previous two quarters.
The growth was driven by stablecoin usage, real-world asset tokenization, and infrastructure development. Contract deployment often acts as a leading indicator, appearing before increases in users, transactions, and network fees.
Ethereum is increasingly positioning itself as a global settlement layer for on-chain finance.
BlackRock transferred a large amount of crypto as ETF outflows continued into year-end.
On-chain data shows 2,201 BTC and 7,557 ETH were sent to Coinbase Prime, worth over $214M at the time. The move happened as Bitcoin ETFs recorded -$275.9M in net outflows on Dec 26, with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for most of the pressure. Ethereum ETFs also saw net exits.
Zooming out, crypto ETPs have now seen about $3.2B in outflows since the October correction.
This does not confirm aggressive selling, but large institutional transfers during persistent outflows usually point to a more cautious stance.
BNB continues to trade under a long-term downward trendline, which keeps the market structure bearish. Rallies are still getting capped by dynamic resistance, and upside momentum remains weak.
For this to flip bullish, BNB needs a clean reclaim of the trendline with confirmation. Until then, downside continuation toward lower support zones remains the more likely path.
Recent data shows more than 6 million wallets hold 500 XRP or less, while a small group of large wallets controls a big share of supply. As price rises, this gap becomes more visible.
Buying 1,000 XRP now costs much more than a year ago, which makes steady accumulation harder for retail investors. Large holders feel this far less.
Some community members say supply is not tight, pointing to roughly 16B XRP on exchanges. Others, including crypto lawyer Bill Morgan, argue XRP still mainly moves with Bitcoin’s direction, not wallet distribution.
The key takeaway: higher prices change who can accumulate, but BTC still leads the market.
