Momentum on Solana is compressing as the chart approaches two pivotal decision points, making the coming days especially significant. With a deeper corrective target on the macro frame and a respected support zone in the mid-range, SOL is gearing up for a move that could shape its next major trend. This Wave Completed As Solana Signals A Larger Pullback Elliott Waves Academy has presented a fresh perspective on SOL, focusing on the weekly timeframe. According to the analysis, SOL appears to have completed its upward wave, identified as wave (1)/(A), within a broader bullish structure. This recent break below a key level reinforces the view that a deeper corrective phase may already be underway. Related Reading: Solana Reclaims Crucial Resistance Despite First SOL ETF Outflows – 25% Rally Ahead? Based on the wave count and Fibonacci measurements, the correction is expected to extend toward the $49.26–$32.03 range, which aligns with the 50%–61.8% retracement levels. Should SOL reach this area, a clear corrective pattern paired with a strong bounce would help validate the broader bullish thesis and suggest that buyers are stepping back in with conviction. Price behavior within this zone will be critical in determining the next major swing. If this scenario unfolds as anticipated, a decisive breakout above the key level that was previously broken will act as confirmation for renewed upside momentum. However, a violation of the $8.00 level would invalidate the bullish outlook entirely, signaling a much deeper structural shift. SOL Coils For Impact As Price Compresses Into A Tightening Structure According to a recent update from CryptoPulse, Solana is shaping up for what looks like a textbook technical setup. The current structure is tightening, showing reduced volatility and signaling that a decisive move may be approaching. With SOL consolidating, the chart is beginning to align with a major technical level. Related Reading: Solana Pullback Finds Purpose As Strong Hands Eye Accumulation Below $160 The key zone highlighted is the $133 support level, an area that has previously acted as a reliable reaction point for buyers. Real partnerships, continuous development, and increasing on-chain activity are all reinforcing this technical zone with additional weight. Given this confluence, the strategy becomes clearer: allow price to revisit the $133 region and observe how the market responds. If buyers step in aggressively, forming wicks, bullish engulfing candles, or strong volume spikes, it could signal that the level is holding once again. CryptoPulse emphasizes patience above all. Instead of chasing the market, let the chart come to you. When both fundamentals and technicals point to the same area, it often increases the probability of a strong follow-through. Acting on confirmation rather than prediction is the key to building a solid position in setups like this. Featured image from Sketchfab, chart from Tradingview.com

Over the past week, the Bitcoin price had its best performance since the infamous October 10 downturn, which led to the largest liquidation event in crypto history. The premier cryptocurrency seems to be on a recovery path, returning above the $90,000 mark on Wednesday, November 26. Despite the several calls of the bear market in recent weeks, the crowd has returned with hopes of the BTC bull run resuming. However, a prominent on-chain analyst has come forward with an interesting analysis of the current Bitcoin price outlook. BTC Price To Continue Within $70,000 – $90,000 Zone: Analyst In a November 28 post on the X platform, CryptoOnchain shared an evaluation of Bitcoin’s current price action around the $90,000 level. According to the crypto pundit, recent on-chain data suggests that the market leader is at risk of a rejection at its current price level. Related Reading: Fed To End QT In December: Will Bitcoin Mirror The Massive Price Crash From Last Time? CryptoOnchain highlighted that the Bitcoin price lost a significant support level at $90,000 when it initially fell to around the $80,000 mark a week ago. Now, the price of BTC is looking to make a sustained close above the $90,000 level after bouncing back from the Point of Control (POC) near $82,000. In crypto trading, the point of control (POC) refers to the price level with the highest volume of trading activity within a given period. It basically represents a zone where buyers and sellers are equally matched, leading to the formation of support or resistance. After bouncing from the POC around $82,000, CryptoOnchain said the flagship cryptocurrency has now settled into a “clear” consolidation zone between the $70,000 and $90,000 region. While the Bitcoin price currently sits above $90,000, the analyst noted that the market leader faces potential rejection. This conclusion was drawn from on-chain data, which shows that large amounts of Bitcoin have been flowing into Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume. According to CryptoQuant, the crypto exchange has seen over $2 billion worth of BTC in the past seven days, which could put some downward pressure on the price. Besides the potential selling pressure, there is limited buying power to absorb the extra BTC supply that might hit the open market from sales. CryptoOnchain shared that the net stablecoin inflow on Binance stands at approximately $735 million, which means limited potential demand or buying power. With this “clear supply-demand imbalance,” CryptoOnchain concluded that a rejection from the $90,000 mark and sideways movement within the $70,000 – $90,000 consolidation zone is the likely scenario for the price of BTC. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC sits just above $91,000, reflecting no significant movement in the past day.

The Bitcoin market experienced a moderate price rebound over the past week, following a prolonged period of price correction that began in early October. The flagship cryptocurrency is now trading above $90,000, with hopes building for a potential push back toward its all-time high of $126,100. Notably, popular market analyst KillaXBT has flagged a key price zone that could serve as the next target in this relieving market recovery. Related Reading: Bitcoin Must Break Key Supply Clusters To Regain ATH Momentum – Watch These Levels Bitcoin Headed To $95k-$96k, But Price Pullback May Occur First – Analyst In an X post on November 28, KillaXBT shares some compelling insights on Bitcoin’s price condition, highlighting both bullish and bearish tendencies. Following the asset’s gain of 7.22% in the past week, the analyst predicts that market bulls are likely to drive prices to around $95,000-$96,000, which contains strong, heavy illiquidity pockets and several liquidation clusters. For context, these zones are attractive to price because they contain large concentrations of resting orders, making them high-value liquidity targets. Liquidation clusters, in particular, hold groups of leveraged positions that trigger forced buying or selling once the price reaches them, injecting fresh liquidity into the market. However, KillaXBT cautions that this upside move may not occur immediately, noting that the market often delays sweeping major liquidity zones ahead of key macro events. With the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting expected to deliver clarity on potential rate cuts, traders may see continued liquidity building below the yearly open in the near term. According to the analyst, these upper liquidation levels are still likely to be cleared, but the timing could align more closely with next month’s policy announcement rather than the current market cycle. The analyst outlines a potential scenario in which Bitcoin experiences a minor pullback to around $93,000 before retesting $89,200. From there, the asset could move toward the $95,000–$96,000 target, in line with expectations for a potential FOMC rate adjustment. However, KillaXBT also highlights the possibility that Bitcoin may reach these key liquidation zones before the FOMC meeting. In such a scenario, the market could see a rapid surge to $96,000, followed by a sharp drop to around $89,200 due to potential liquidations, before eventually returning to these upper liquidity zones. Following this analysis, KillaXBT is opting for a short position, which he intends to reassess in relation to market trends as the FOMC approaches. Interestingly, the analyst believes the real short-term opportunity only comes after the FOMC’s announcement. Related Reading: Bitcoin STH Loss Transfers Fall 80% From Peak – What Comes Next?

Conversations around XRP have grown louder in recent weeks as the cryptocurrency continues to trade around the $2.2 region while new Spot XRP ETFs continue to attract inflows across multiple issuers. One voice in the community has attempted to explain why the market is unusually calm despite rising institutional demand. An XRP enthusiast known as Pumpius shared a detailed thread on X that breaks down the mechanics behind the new ETFs and why the real impact may still be ahead. His argument is that the current XRP price action does not yet reflect what is going on behind the scenes. Related Reading: Bitcoin Maxi Says ATH Back On The Table After 40x Derivatives Surge Why ETF Rules Create A Special Market Dynamic Pumpius explained that the foundation of the entire setup is in one legal detail with fund managers. ETF fund managers are restricted from purchasing XRP directly from Ripple or from the escrow accounts that hold large reserves of the token. Every ETF must source XRP through open-market purchases, without private deals or wholesale arrangements. The absence of direct acquisition forces institutional buyers into the same liquidity pool as retail and whales. With the new launch of XRP ETFs, and as demand continues to rise, the circulating supply is now the battleground, and this mechanical pressure is already visible in recent weeks as XRP trading volumes climbed while exchange supply began trending downward. According to market trackers, XRP supply on major exchanges has declined steadily since the approval of the first Spot XRP ETFs, showing that the stress on available liquidity is not theoretical but active. Particularly, data from CryptoQuant shows that Binance’s XRP reserves are now at their lowest point in months, having dropped to 2.7 billion tokens this week. Incoming Supply Squeeze For XRP Another part of the explanation focuses on Ripple’s behavior regarding escrow releases. Although one billion XRP is unlocked each month, Ripple has repeatedly returned about 700 million to 800 million of these unlocked tokens back into escrow. Ripple releases only what it considers necessary to maintain healthy liquidity in the ecosystem, and the company has avoided significant selling pressure since the ETF approvals. According to Pumpius, this means the ecosystem is operating in a controlled balance where ETF issuers are absorbing a growing share of the circulating float, while Ripple keeps escrow output extremely conservative. The result is a slow tightening of supply that’s happening behind the scenes and may not yet be visible in price action but can eventually cause what he called a structural supply shock. When this happens, XRP will not move slowly, but it will break price levels with impact.

According to the latest on-chain evaluation, the recently-launched spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States have added a new dimension to the XRP price dynamics. Institutional Divergence From On-Chain Activity A Classic Accumulation Sign On Friday, November 28, Cryptonchain, in a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, shared insights into XRP’s recent price action. The market analyst revealed that a notable on-chain dynamic is in play. Related Reading: Why XRP Will Not Reach $100 By End Of Year Despite ETF Launch The relevant indicator here is the XRP Active Addresses metric, which tracks the number of wallet addresses actively interacting with the XRP Ledger within a specific time period. This indicator provides insights about retail engagement, network health, and demand pressure. The analyst reported that the XRPL Active Addresses metric has seen a decline to around the 19,400 mark, its lowest level this year. What’s intriguing about this change is that an asset’s price action is typically expected to be in line with its network activity; this case, however, proves to be atypical. According to CryptoOnchain, while the XRP Ledger collapsed to its lowest levels seen this year, a strong defense of the $2.20 price support appears to be going on. This divergent behavior, noted the analyst, classically signals that institutions are silently accumulating tokens away from the XRP network. When retail activity sponsors price rallies, there are expectedly spikes in network activity due to Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) among traders. However, institutions operate differently, as off-chain accumulations take place via OTC desks and custodial services (for example, Coinbase Prime and BitGo). What It Means For Price The online pundit explained that the decline in the number of active addresses to levels around 15,000 to 19,000 points to a relative absence of retail investors, an investor class with an aggressive reputation. As price thus maintains stability through this retail scarcity, it is apparent that there is a growing supply shock due to ETF inflows and increasing institutional positioning. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Future: The Polarized Predictions Between Bulls And Bears—Who Will Prevail? With these conditions in place, CryptoOnchain posited that it is rational to expect a major pump in the XRP price, but under the additional condition that retail liquidity returns in a fairly considerable amount. As of this writing, the XRP token is valued at $2.18, reflecting an over 2% in the past 24 hours. However, according to data from CoinGecko, the altcoin is up by more than 14% in the last seven days.

Blockchain analytics platform XWIN Research Japan shares that Bitcoin’s NPRL has returned to a neutral zone following a period of significant volatility. This development represents one of many positives following Bitcoin’s modest price gain over the last week. Related Reading: Newbie Bitcoin Whales Capitulating, But Old Hands Stay Silent NPRL Shows Balanced Market, New Trend Forms On Horizon The Net Realized Profit and Loss (NRPL) is an on-chain metric that measures the total profit or loss that Bitcoin holders realize when they sell their coins at a given price. A positive NRPL suggests more BTC are being sold at a profit rather than at a loss, i.e., market participants are realizing gains, while a negative NRPL means more BTC are being sold at a loss than at a profit. According to analysts at XWIN Research Japan, Bitcoin’s NPRL registered significant positive and negative deviations between November 22 and 24. However, the metric has stabilized in its neutral zone since November 25, as Bitcoin achieved a sustained market recovery. At near-zero NRPL, realized gains and losses are roughly balanced, suggesting market indecision or consolidation. This period usually comes after periods of market capitulation, marking a transition from a volatile phase to a calmer market environment. As earlier stated, the stabilization of NRPL aligns with Bitcoin’s price action, which has recently risen to steady around the $90,000 range. The lack of significant upward or downward pressure suggests that the market is digesting recent volatility and building a foundation for future movements. Analysts at XWIN state similar NRPL neutralization from the past phases has preceded the emergence of new trends, indicating BTC price may be consolidating for a new direction. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Hit $1.5M? Cathie Wood Says It’s Only A Matter Of Time What Next For Bitcoin? Looking ahead, XWIN Research Japan states the critical factor will be whether NRPL maintains its position above the zero line or slips back into negative territory. A sustained positive NRPL would indicate improving demand and healthier inflows, potentially supporting a stronger recovery. Conversely, a return to negative NRPL could signal renewed weakness and the potential for another round of selling pressure. In summary, the recent pattern, from deep negative swings to positive spikes, followed by convergence near zero, demonstrates that the market’s internal structure has largely reset and has completed its clearing phase for a new price trend to emerge. At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $90,485 after a minor 0.65% loss in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, its daily trading volume is up by 14.06% and valued at $57.04 billion.

SUI is currently navigating high-risk territory, positioned in what analysts identify as Wave 4 of a larger, incomplete bearish sequence. While this move is reaching its exhaustion point, the market is poised for a final, decisive action: either a confirmed reversal that breaks the current corrective structure, or a drop into the anticipated Wave 5 to complete the full downside pattern. Key Bounce at 1.41: SUI Tests Critical Extension Support According to a recent update by More Crypto Online, SUI is currently bouncing from the 100% extension at $1.41, a zone that has consistently served as an important area of support. This reaction marks the first meaningful attempt by buyers to halt the recent downside pressure. Related Reading: SUI Silent Comeback: The Underdog Preparing For A $20 Charge From here, price is now approaching a major resistance region between $1.68 and $2.21, which is the expected zone for a potential wave 4 bounce. The analyst notes that wave 4 retracements often vary significantly in depth. Therefore, SUI may need room to fluctuate within this entire range before establishing a clearer direction. A decisive break above the $2.21 level would be a significant technical signal. Such a move would suggest that SUI has completed all 5 impulsive waves to the upside, increasing the probability that a more substantial market bottom may already be in place. For now, More Crypto Online emphasizes that the downside structure still appears incomplete, meaning the broader corrective move could resume if SUI fails to push above resistance. The recent bounce, while constructive, has not yet reversed the macro structure. This outlook also aligns with the behavior of Bitcoin, which currently hints at the possibility of another low forming after a 3-wave corrective rebound. Such a scenario supports the idea that SUI could still have one more downward leg to finalize a full corrective pattern before a stronger recovery can begin. Wave 4 Takes Shape As SUI Approaches Critical Resistance Zone The analyst further explained that the current movement on the SUI chart is being viewed as a potential wave 4 within a larger C-wave decline. Since a complete C-wave requires a full five-wave structure, the chart is missing one more low before a more reliable bottom can form. This interpretation remains consistent unless price action proves otherwise. Related Reading: SUI Eyes Key Retest As Price Breaks Out Of Downtrend – Rally To $3 Ahead? He added that if SUI produces a distinct rejection or reversal within the key resistance zone, it would strongly suggest that wave 4 has reached its peak. Should that confirmation appear, the outlook will be updated to reflect the expectation of a final wave down to complete the structure. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from Tradingview.com
