Ether traders ramped up leverage as futures dominance surged and key technical levels came into play. Will ETH bulls succeed in catalyzing a rally to $3,400?
Solana (SOL) is showing remarkable resilience this week, holding firmly above the critical $140 support zone despite heightened market anxiety following a $37 million hack on South Korea’s Upbit exchange. Related Reading: The Bull And Bear Scenario For XRP That Could Play Out In November The stability comes at a time when institutional interest in Solana is accelerating, highlighted by Franklin Templeton’s recent Form 8-A filing with the U.S. SEC to launch a Solana ETF. Franklin Templeton’s Solana ETF Fuels Institutional Momentum The global investment giant, which manages $1.67 trillion in assets, is positioning itself at the forefront of crypto-focused investment products. The proposed ETF would offer regulated exposure to Solana without requiring investors to hold the token directly, a move widely seen as a bullish catalyst for long-term adoption. Historically, ETFs have had mixed but notable effects on crypto markets. Bitcoin surged to new all-time highs after its ETF debut in 2024, while Ethereum took months to show similar momentum. Analysts say it remains unclear whether SOL will follow the Bitcoin pattern or display a more gradual response once the ETF is approved. SOL's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: SOLUSD on Tradingview Upbit’s $37M Solana Hack Sends Shockwaves, But SOL Stays Steady Upbit confirmed an unauthorized outflow of roughly 54 billion KRW (about $37 million) involving SOL and several Solana-based tokens. The exchange immediately halted deposits and withdrawals, moved remaining assets into cold storage, and pledged to fully reimburse affected customers from its own reserves. While such incidents typically trigger steep price drops, Solana’s ecosystem demonstrated surprising stability. Not only did SOL hold above $140, a multi-month high-timeframe support zone, but Solana memecoins such as BONK, TRUMP, and MOODENG barely reacted. Traders pointed to on-chain data showing buyers aggressively defending key support levels, even as broader market sentiment wavered. Upbit has already frozen ₩12 billion worth of stolen LAYER tokens and is working with partners to trace additional assets. The timing of the breach, occurring nearly six years to the day after Upbit’s notorious 2019 hack, has drawn attention but has not shaken confidence in Solana’s network. Technical Outlook: Rebound or Breakdown? Analysts highlight $142–$145 as the immediate resistance band, supported by an estimated 13 million SOL accumulated at that level. A breakout could open the path toward $165, $188, and even higher liquidity pockets at $220–$240. Longer-term projections suggest potential targets between $360 and $480 if Wyckoff reaccumulation patterns complete. However, a failure to maintain $143 support could send SOL toward deeper zones at $130–$127. Related Reading: Has The Bitcoin Price Hit Its Bottom?

Bitcoin bulls need to pump more volume into the spot and futures market in order for the current BTC bounce to hold above $90,000.
Bitcoin has pushed back above the $90,000 level after several days of intense selling pressure, bringing a brief moment of relief to a market overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty. Despite the rebound, bulls remain under pressure as speculation of an incoming bear market continues to grow. Many investors are still digesting the sharp correction from October’s all-time high, and confidence has yet to fully return. Related Reading: Major Bitcoin LTH Sell-Off Signals Cycle Exhaustion as Supply Drops to 13.6M BTC According to top analyst Darkfost, one of the key indicators reinforcing this cautious environment is the Coinbase Premium Index, which remains negative. This metric compares Bitcoin’s price on Coinbase — the preferred exchange for US institutions and professional investors — with Binance, which is widely used by retail traders. When the index is negative, as it is now, it signals that institutional players and US whales are selling more aggressively than retail participants. Darkfost notes that part of this ongoing sell-side pressure is tied to continuous spot ETF outflows, which have weighed heavily on sentiment. Although the recent bounce above $90K shows a temporary shift in momentum, Bitcoin must demonstrate strong follow-through to prevent the market from slipping deeper into a bearish phase. Institutional Selling Pressure Begins to Ease Darkfost explains that since the peak in panic selling on November 21, institutional and US-based selling pressure has noticeably cooled off. During that period, the Coinbase Premium Index showed a sharp dive into negative territory, signaling that professional actors were offloading Bitcoin far more aggressively than retail participants. This imbalance amplified the market’s decline, helping push BTC toward its recent lows. However, over the past several days, the intensity of this selling has started to fade. While the Coinbase Premium Index remains negative — meaning institutions are still net sellers — the depth of that negativity has significantly softened. Darkfost notes that although the metric has not yet flipped into positive territory, the trend is improving. If this continues, it could give the market some much-needed breathing room and potentially stabilize price action. Still, analysts remain cautious. The next few sessions will be critical, as Bitcoin needs to demonstrate that this easing in sell pressure can translate into sustained demand. A decisive move — either reclaiming higher levels or breaking down again — appears imminent. As institutional activity continues to shift, the market may soon reveal whether this was only a temporary relief bounce or the start of a larger recovery.

On the 3-day chart, BTC has bounced sharply from the 200-day moving average (red line), a level that historically acts as a major dynamic support during deep corrections. This rebound pushed price back toward the $91,000 area, but momentum remains fragile. The chart shows BTC trading below both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, which have now turned downward—an indication of short-term trend weakness. Until the price reclaims these moving averages, particularly the 100-day near $103,000, the broader structure remains vulnerable to further downside.

This imbalance highlights that the recent uptick may be more of a reactionary relief move than a confirmed reversal. Still, the rejection wicks below $85,000 show clear buyer interest at lower levels. If BTC can maintain this higher low structure and continue closing above the 200-day MA, bullish momentum could gradually rebuild. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst NeverWishing has predicted that the XRP price will rally to as high as $1,115. He highlighted three paths for XRP to reach this target, in what the analyst described as the final bull run for the altcoin. Analyst Maps Out Final XRP Bull Run Rally To $1,115 In a TradingView post, the crypto analyst mapped out three paths for XRP to rally to the $1,115 target. They tagged the first path as the immediate delivery, the second as a normal delivery, and the third as one that will trigger only if the XRP price stays suppressed. For the third path, NeverWishing stated that a final backup execution could happen between January 1 and 6 next year. Related Reading: The Bull And Bear Scenario For XRP That Could Play Out In November For path A, NeverWishing stated that it will start between this month and next month, with the first impulse sparking an XRP rally to between $30 and $33. The secondary spike will send the altcoin to $186, while a consolidation phase will lead to a climb toward $285. After that, XRP will rally to its final blow-off target of $1,115. NeverWishing described the second path as the fastest, stating it will occur between January and March next year. The first stop will be between $30 and $33 for XRP, after which volatility waves will occur through February and March. The altcoin will then break into the macro expansion zone, with the major target at $285 and the final target at $1,115. The Third Path For XRP The analyst noted that the third path is smoother and slightly delayed. NeverWishing also reiterated that this is a suppressed variant and will only happen if the first and second paths fail. They explained that if the XRP price stays held down, then the algorithm will reset and fire between January 1 and 6 next year. Related Reading: Why XRP Price Crash Below $2 Is Not A Problem – $20 Is Still The Target XRP will have the same opening move as the first two paths, rallying to between $30 and $33. It will then have the same structure as the second path, with the macro targets being $285 and $1,115. NeverWishing then outlined the key timing windows for XRP as it eyes a rally to this $1,115 target. The first key timing is between this month and January 2026, which marks the entry and breakout window. The analyst tagged March 21, 2026, as the mid-cycle reversal point in the XRP final bull run. August 14, 2026, marks the “warning zone,” while the pullback is expected between October and November 2026. Lastly, NeverWishing stated that January 1, 2027, is the final liquidity window. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.20, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

The following article is adapted from The Block’s newsletter, The Daily, which comes out on weekday afternoons.
Ethereum is trading far below its modeled “intrinsic value,” according to a live valuation dashboard launched by Hashed CEO Simon Kim. On ETHval (ethval.com), the current snapshot shows Ethereum at a spot price of $3,034.0 while the reliability-weighted “Composite Fair Value” stands at $4,777.5, implying +57.8% upside versus the market. The median fair value across models is $4,026.68, or +33.8% above spot. The dashboard labels ETH “UNDERVALUED” and aggregates its eight models into five buy, one hold and two sell signals. How The Fair Value Of Ethereum Is Calculated Kim introduced the project on X with the explicit goal of shifting the discussion away from pure sentiment: “What is ETH actually worth? The crypto industry deserves better than price speculation. I built a dashboard to think about ETH’s intrinsic value with 8 models… Far from perfect and open to feedback.” ETHval makes those models and their outputs fully visible, along with their individual reliability tags. Related Reading: Ethereum Price To Recover Or Crash? The Real ‘Leverage Point’ Investors Should Know About The tool’s central panel breaks out each valuation. The TVL Multiple model, which prices ETH off total value locked in DeFi using a 7× TVL-to-market-cap anchor, assigns a fair value of $4,026.6, judging ETH 32.7% undervalued (reliability: medium). A more conservative MC/TVL Fair Value mean-reversion model, treated as high reliability, lands at $3,453.1, only 13.8% above spot and classified as “fair.” Models that embed stronger network-effect or cash-flow claims are far more aggressive. The DCF (Staking) framework, which discounts an implied perpetual stream of staking rewards, values ETH at $9,101.9, indicating it is 200.0% undervalued. A high-reliability Metcalfe’s Law implementation, which scales value with TVL to the power of 1.5, is even more bullish at $9,585.9, or 216.8% above the current price. The Ethereum L2 ecosystem model, which adds twice the TVL of major rollups to Ethereum mainnet TVL before applying a multiple, generates a fair value of $4,640.0, implying 52.9% undervaluation, although ETHval marks this model’s reliability as low. A Staking Scarcity model, also low reliability and based on liquid-supply contraction, prices ETH at $3,538.2, or 16.6% undervalued. Related Reading: Ethereum Steadies Near $2,900 as Fed Rate-Cut Odds Fuel $3,400 Rebound Hopes Two income-style models push in the opposite direction and still receive high reliability scores. The P/E Ratio (25×) model treats annualized protocol fees as “earnings,” applies a 25× multiple and arrives at a fair value of only $957.4, reading ETH as 68.4% overvalued. The Revenue Yield model reverse-engineers price from a target protocol yield of 2.5%; at current revenue levels it outputs $1,531.8, implying 49.5% overvaluation. To synthesize these conflicting signals, ETHval applies a disclosed weighting scheme: high-reliability models are multiplied by 9, medium by 5 and low by 2 when computing the $4,780.7 composite. That weighting, combined with the extreme upside implied by the DCF and Metcalfe models, is what drives the overall conclusion that Ethereum is strongly undervalued despite two respected frameworks pointing to downside. The dashboard itself stops short of making investment recommendations. Underneath the numbers, ETHval reiterates that the outputs are for reference only and that each model rests on explicit, debatable assumptions. But by fixing the current ETH price at $3,034.0 against a live fair-value band stretching from $957.4 on the bearish end to $9,585.9 on the most bullish, Kim’s site quantifies a debate that usually plays out in anecdotes and narratives—and, for now, that quantified view leans clearly toward Ethereum being undervalued. At press time, ETH traded at $3,029. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

According to exchange data, inflows to trading venues topped 9,000 Bitcoin on Nov. 21 as prices slid to $80,600 on Coinbase — the weakest showing in seven months. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces More Downside After Recent Crash, Data Shows Reports show that about 45% of those deposits came in chunks of 100 BTC or more, and on one day large transfers reached 7,000 BTC. The average deposit size in November rose to 1.23 BTC, the largest monthly figure in a year. Those numbers point to more than casual rebalancing; they point to coins being moved where they can be sold. Binance Stablecoins Hit Record According to market coverage, Binance’s stablecoin holdings climbed to a record $51 billion. At the same time, BTC and Ether inflows to exchanges swelled to roughly $40 billion this week, with Binance and Coinbase leading the move. Traders often park funds in dollar-pegged tokens when they want to wait on the sidelines. That build-up means cash is available, but it is sitting idle until sellers either step back or buyers turn up again. Bitcoin exchange inflows are rising as the price drops to ~87K, a seven-month low. Large deposits (100+ BTC) now make up 45% of all inflows, hitting 7K BTC on Nov 21. Large holders are increasingly sending BTC to exchanges, reinforcing the current downtrend. pic.twitter.com/UpN4rAL0FH — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) November 26, 2025 Analysts Eye Further Pullback Some market watchers warn the recent recovery could be only a pause, flagging remaining margin positions and suggested a test of lower levels. They said a wick into the $70k–$80k zone would be one way to clear out the last pockets of exposure. 10x Research put resistance levels at $92,000 and $101,000 as the key ranges to watch during any rebound. For context, Bitcoin had clawed back above $90,000 and was trading slightly higher at the time of reporting, but it remains down about 28% from the all-time high north of $126,000 reached in October. Short-Term Bounce, Not A Full Recovery Meanwhile, market moves in stocks and crypto have shown mixed signals. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were pushing gains as investors bet on a US Fed rate cut, and that helped risk assets. Yet reports from strategists show the usual close link between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq has weakened, with Bitcoin’s decline steeper in recent weeks. Ether and many altcoins also faced higher exchange inflows, and several tokens returned to bear-market lows as selling pressure widened. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Reenters ETH Market, Fires Off A $44-M Long What This Means Next Liquidity is present but it is parked in stablecoins, and big holders are still moving assets toward exchanges. A meaningful rally will likely need either heavy buying demand or a clear catalyst that draws those stablecoins back into risk assets. For now, the market sits in a waiting mode: a short rally could continue, but a deeper dip remains possible as positions get cleared and sellers complete their rotations.
