#Solana fell in the previous day as traders watched a key reclaim level, with momentum still negative and support zones in focus.
Notably, over the past 24 hours, Solana fell about 4.7% to $125.91, while trading within a daily range of $124.08 to $134.26. That range shows buyers tried to push prices higher, but sellers pushed back. Looking at a TradingView chart, Solana is currently trading below the first Fibonacci retracement level at $126.48 (0.236), which suggests the sellers are still controlling the price. However, a green candle can be seen trying to head towards this resistance. If price can reclaim $126.48, the next upside areas to watch are $128.18 (0.382) and $129.55 (0.5). A stronger recovery would then bring $130.92 (0.618) into focus, followed by $132.88 (0.786) and the prior swing high around $135.37 (1.0). On the upper extension side, $142.56 (1.618) stands out as a longer-shot target only if momentum fully flips bullish. Momentum remains soft based on the Chande Momentum Oscillator (9), which sits near -32 and stays below the zero line. This points to bearish pressure still being present even though price action has started to stabilize. For the rebound to look more convincing, the oscillator would need to reverse toward zero, which would signal selling force is fading and buyers are regaining influence. On the downside, the key support zone is around $123.73, with additional support psychologically near $124. If that area breaks cleanly, the next downside risk opens toward the $122 region.

Analyst Says #XRP Could See an Absolute Parabolic Run in 2027. Notably, Steingraber’s comments followed a post by Securitize highlighting how early the tokenization trend remains. Data from RWA. xyz and other sources show that tokenized assets make up a tiny fraction of global financial markets.
For example, tokenized fixed income stands at under $9 billion compared to more than $145 trillion in total market value. Likewise, tokenized stocks represent less than $1 billion out of roughly $126 trillion. Even in the most advanced category, private credit, tokenization remains below 1% of total value.
For XRP supporters, these figures support the view that the sector is still in the “first inning,” with the largest growth phase still ahead. X Finance Bull, a well-known XRP analyst, agreed with Steingraber’s timeline. He described 2026 as the onboarding phase and 2027 as the point where liquidity dynamics flip. In his view, once liquidity concentrates on-chain, other assets and participants are pulled in fast, favoring ledgers with high throughput and regulatory alignment. Other commentators echoed similar expectations. One analyst suggested 15–20% of markets could be tokenized in 2026, with the remainder following in 2027. Despite a modest outlook for 2026, the commentator calls next year “epic” for growth. However, more cautious voices warned that tokenization alone does not automatically create demand unless assets are actively used, settled, and traded. The discussion builds on earlier reports quoting SEC Chair Paul Atkins. Specifically, Atkins predicted on live TV that all U.S. markets will move on-chain within a few years. Atkins highlighted benefits such as instant settlement, improved transparency, and reduced counterparty risk. XRP community members see this regulatory change as a major catalyst. They argue that enterprise networks like XRPL are in a better position than “hype-driven” chains to support regulated financial markets.

#Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has once again captured market attention after reducing his holdings in several cryptocurrency tokens. 
On Sunday, a wallet associated with Buterin executed sales involving three different tokens. The address sold 1,400 Uniswap (UNI) tokens, 10,000 Kyber Network Crystal (KNC) tokens, and approximately 40 trillion Dogey-Inu (DINU) tokens. In total, the transactions yielded 16,796 USDC.
The movements were first highlighted by blockchain monitoring service Lookonchain and verified through data from Arkham Intelligence. These entities track wallets associated with notable cryptocurrency personalities.

#shiba⚡ Inu On-Chain Sending Address Spikes Over 200% In One Day. Profit-taking appears unlikely in this instance, as Shiba Inu did not experience notable price volatility on December 4. According to CoinMarketCap, SHIB opened the day at $0.000008995 and closed at $0.000008721—a modest change.
This suggests that the surge in active addresses points to redistribution rather than mass sell-offs. Supporting this view is the recent massive withdrawal of SHIB tokens from exchanges.
The Crypto Basic reported that investors pulled roughly 8 trillion tokens off exchanges within a day on December 9. Of the total withdrawal, one large investor withdrew 2.2 trillion SHIB across six transactions from Coinbase.
These movements indicate investors appear to be redistributing SHIB between wallets and transferring holdings off centralized platforms. At the same time, Shiba Inu has also seen an increase in exchange inflows, according to Santiment data. The analytics firm reported on December 9 that the number of SHIB transactions valued at $100,000 or more surged to 406, up 712% from the June 6 low of 50.
During this period, Santiment noted that exchange reserves rose by 1.06 trillion SHIB, bringing the total to 136.95 trillion tokens.
However, despite this inflow, the volume of SHIB sent to exchanges remains far below the roughly 8 trillion tokens withdrawn on December 9. This imbalance reinforces the view that the heightened sending activity reflects redistribution rather than preparation for liquidation.

#XRP shows short-term bullish momentum amid whale accumulation, signaling potential recovery. XRP has seen a slight 0.6% gain in the last day, currently priced at $2.03. The price has fluctuated between $1.99 and $2.05 during this period, reflecting lower volatility. Notably, XRP is trading at the mid level of this range. XRP’s 7-day performance shows a 2.5% decline, while the 14-day performance shows a deeper 7.7% fall. Despite the short-term bullish momentum, XRP is facing longer-term challenges. The current market cap stands at $122.3 billion, up only 0.58%. Despite recent fluctuations, the market has shown some recovery, as seen in the slight upward movement in the 24-hour price chart. Amid the bearish long-term movement, traders will be watching short-term charts to see the next direction as they place their bets. Looking at the daily technical chart from TradingView, XRP is currently trading within a narrow range, with the price hovering above the lower Bollinger Band, suggesting an attempted recovery towards the middle band at $2.12. The price recently breached the middle Bollinger Band and reached $2.18, but has since retraced, indicating a lack of sufficient bullish momentum to sustain higher levels. The middle Bollinger Band serves as immediate resistance, and if XRP fails to hold above this level, it could potentially move toward the lower Bollinger Band at $1.97. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) below the price chart shows negative momentum, with the recent green bars indicating that the bearish momentum may be waning. There’s a chance for a reversal if the AO continues to show green bars. Ultimately, if XRP can break above the middle Bollinger Band and the $2.2648 resistance, it may retest higher levels, potentially targeting the $2.60 range.

#shiba⚡ Inu Shrinks on Exchanges With 8 Trillion $SHIB Withdrawn in 24 Hours. Notably, such outflows from platforms could suggest that whales are accumulating Shiba Inu in staggering amounts. Specifically, large holders may be moving the token off exchanges into self-custody wallets, which indicates a long-term bullish stance towards the asset. It also removes near-term selling pressure, a move that would stabilize prices amid recent weakness. However, not all withdrawals are whale accumulation. Some might also be strategic repositioning to other platforms for several purposes, such as OTC deals and participation in DeFi on decentralized platforms. Remarkably, this trend of Shiba Inu withdrawal from exchanges has been a recurrent theme. Arkham data shows that a different singular wallet, “0x32285,” withdrew 2.2 trillion SHIB ($18.88 million) from Coinbase on December 9. The whale carried out the withdrawal over six transactions of 570.3 billion, 584.6 billion, 406.7 billion, 11.7 billion, and 48.4 billion SHIB. At the time of writing, the address still holds the tokens. Remarkably, Shiba Inu has also recorded notable exchange inflows, passing mixed signals to holders. Santiment shared on December 9 that over 1.06 trillion SHIB tokens were added to exchange reserves, as whales move funds for possible sell-offs. The shift aligned with increased whale activity on Shiba Inu, as transactions exceeding $100,000 reached 406, the largest since June 6th. Notably, the mixed flows to and from centralized exchanges show uncertainty among large holders even as the price struggles. Meanwhile, SHIB trades at $0.00000833, down 3% over the past 24 hours. While it is down considerably in the last few weeks, it seems to have found support around the $0.0000080 region. Analysts have highlighted key levels for Shiba Inu in both bullish and bearish cases. Further drops would see the token retest the weekly support at $0.0000060, while a recovery may see it cancel one zero and reclaim the $0.000010 levels.
