The article was published on CryptoDnes (last updated on December 22, 2025), and is titled "The Best Cryptocurrencies to Buy Now on December 21: Analyst Who Predicted Bitcoin Drop Turns Optimistic". The article focuses on the turnaround of the famous analyst Captain Faibik, a prominent crypto trader on Twitter with over 100,000 followers, from a warning stance to great optimism. Faibik had previously predicted a 36% drop in Bitcoin's price from its peak in October, due to a breakdown from a narrowing upward channel. Now, he announces that the decline has ended, and a new bullish market is coming soon.
#### Reason for the Analyst's Shift to Optimism
Fibik confirms that Bitcoin has successfully re-tested the lower line of a descending expanding wedge pattern, and the price is currently showing sideways movement. He also notes that the total market capitalization of the third market is approaching its 100-week exponential moving average, along with blockchain data showing massive purchases from whales (large investors) during the accumulation of digital assets before the next upward trend.
#### Bitcoin Price Prediction
Fibik expects Bitcoin to break out of the wedge pattern and reach $120,000 in the short term.
#### The best recommended cryptocurrencies to buy now
The article recommends, based on analysis from Fibik and others, the following cryptocurrencies as the best buying options currently due to bullish technical indicators, institutional demand, and high growth potential:
- Ethereum (ETH): Considered the top investment due to a recent breakout in the ETH/BTC trading pair. The bullish case is supported by the migration of U.S. financial markets to the blockchain, with money market funds launched by institutions like JPMorgan, BlackRock, and Fidelity. Ethereum also dominates the stablecoins market (expected to reach trillions of dollars), with Grayscale predicting a 1000x growth in tokenized assets by 2030. The current price below $3000 is considered a significant discount. Predictions: Tom Lee from Bitmain sees $20,000 in 2026, and others $10,000 next year.
- Solana (SOL): Bull market cycles always start with a strong rally for Solana. It has shown bullish divergence on the three-day timeframe (higher low in the relative strength index and lower low in price), similar to what happened in March which drove the price from $100 to $250. Millions in inflows to Solana ETF funds, and institutional demand defending the monthly support level of $124. A sustainable breakout above $130 is an excellent buy signal. Potential: Rapid expansion expected.
- Chainlink (LINK): One of the strongest assets fundamentally due to oracle technology and cross-chain compatibility protocol, attracting institutions like the Federal Reserve and SWIFT. A new innovation ACE (Automated Compliance Engine) helps institutions comply with KYC and AML without breaking composability in decentralized finance. Whales are accumulating, with one purchase worth $5.57 million. Potential: A new rally of institutional adoption.
- Ethina (ENA): Although down 75% from its peak in September (trading at $0.2075), indicators suggest a bottom: bullish divergence on the daily frame, and a successful re-test of a multi-month downtrend breakout. Potential: Rapid expansion expected after confirming the bottom.
- Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER): A new Layer 2 currency on Bitcoin, gaining popularity for offering a programmable, high-performance, and scalable solution. Supports smart contracts, fast finality, and cheap transactions while maintaining Bitcoin's security. The presale raised nearly $30 million, with significant investments from whales and support from prominent influencers. Potential: Considered by many as the next currency that could rise 100 times.
