December Crypto Market Predictions: ETH Ready to Rise, XRP Still Weak, BTC Yet to Hit Bottom

Jakarta, Pintu News – The crypto market is currently still in a consolidation phase after a major correction in recent weeks. Although many investors are hoping for a quick recovery, technical conditions show that the recovery cycle is still not stable. However, some big altcoins like Ethereum are starting to show signs of renewed strength.

XRP: Stable, But Not Ready to Return to $3

After a sharp decline during November, XRP is starting to show some stability. However, the assumption that the price of XRP will immediately shoot up to $3 is considered too optimistic. Technically, XRP is still in a downward channel with a repeating “lower high” pattern. Despite strong recovery candles, XRP has not managed to break the 50- and 200-day moving averages (EMAs) – an indication that a trend reversal is still far away.

• TheRSI indicator is still below 50, suggesting the recovery momentum is still corrective in nature.
• Rebound potential is limited in the range of $2.30-$2.40, unless there is a large volume of buying coming in.
• The$3 target is considered premature as there is no valid trend reversal signal yet.

Ethereum: Ready to Lead the Market Recovery

In contrast to XRP and many other altcoins, Ethereum (ETH) is showing a healthy price structure and upward momentum. After testing the $2,700 level, ETH formed a clean higher low and started climbing with steady candles – without extreme spikes due to liquidation.

• TheRSI is moving up without being overbought, signaling a healthy recovery.
• ETH almost broke through the 20- and 50-day EMAs, which were key points of confirmation of the trend reversal.
• If it manages to hold above $3,100-$3,200, a medium-term recovery is in the cards.

With the dominance of other altcoins remaining stagnant, Ethereum is likely to attract more attention from institutional investors during the asset rotation phase.

Bitcoin: Not Hitting Bottom Yet

Bitcoin (BTC) briefly bounced off the $85,000 area, but this is not enough to be considered a strong “bottom”. Although the RSI recovered from the oversold area and the buying volume increased, BTC’s technical structure still shows a bearish trend:

• The20, 50, 100, and 200 EMAs are all declining, forming a classic bearish formation.
• Any intraday rally was immediately arrested at the $89,000 resistance area, indicating selling pressure still dominates.
• There has been no formation of a higher low, an important signal to confirm a trend reversal.

BTC may enter a sideways phase for longer, or even retest the low before a new trend is formed.
