On-chain analytics firm Santiment has revealed how Bitcoin, XRP, and other cryptocurrencies have dropped into a “buy zone” on a popular metric. MVRV Ratio Shows High Degree Of Short-Term Pain In Bitcoin & Altcoins In a new post on X, Santiment has discussed how the various assets in the cryptocurrency sector are looking based on the 30-day MVRV Ratio. The Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio is an on-chain indicator that measures the ratio between the market cap and Realized Cap for a given coin. Related Reading: Bitcoin SSR Flashes Buy Signal: Rebound Incoming? The Realized Cap here refers to a capitalization model that calculates the asset’s total value by assuming the value of each individual token is equal to the price at which it was last transacted on the blockchain. In short, what this model captures is an estimation for the amount of capital that BTC investors as a whole have invested into the cryptocurrency. The usual market cap, on the other hand, represents the amount holders are carrying today. When the value of the MVRV Ratio is greater than 1, it means the market cap is greater than the Realized Cap. In other words, the overall network is in a state of profit. On the other hand, an indicator below this threshold implies the dominance of losses among investors. In the context of the current topic, the version of the MVRV Ratio that’s of interest is the 30-day one, tracking the profit-loss balance of the traders who purchased their coins within the past month. Below is the chart for the metric shared by Santiment that shows the trend in its value for five major cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum, Chainlink, and Cardano: As is visible in the graph, the 30-day MVRV Ratio has witnessed a plunge recently as the sector has gone through a bearish shift. Recent Bitcoin buyers are now about 11.5% underwater, while XRP ones are around 10.2%. Both of these are beyond the threshold that the analytics firm classifies as the boundary for a “good buy zone.” The 30-day investors have suffered even worse losses in the case of Ethereum, Cardano, and Chainlink, being down 15.4%, 19.7%, and 16.8%, respectively. All of these fall inside Santiment’s “extreme buy zone.” “In a zero sum game, buy assets when average trade returns of your peers are in extreme negatives,” noted the analytics firm. “The lower MVRV’s go, the higher the probability is of a rapid recovery.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Social Dominance Hits 4-Month High: What It Means It now remains to be seen whether market pain has been enough for XRP and others to cause a market rebound, or if more drawdown is coming.

The debut of Canary Capital’s spot-XRP ETF was one of the standout moments for the XRP community this year, bringing the token into the US ETF arena with strong opening volume and heavy attention from traders. Many holders went into launch week expecting that kind of headline event to push XRP into a sharp rally, especially after waiting years for regulated access in the United States. Instead, price action has stayed relatively muted, leaving a gap between expectations and reality. In a new 26-minute video shared on X, finance coach Coach JV tried to close that gap, breaking down why XRP has not exploded higher yet and what he believes holders should actually focus on. Coach JV Puts XRP In A Macroeconomic Perspective XRP’s Spot ETF has undoubtedly been a success, considering the amount of inflows it has had in its first two trading days. However, this has yet to translate into a surge in the price of XRP, as many traders had predicted and expected. Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Will Flip Bitcoin As These Developments Play Out Instead, XRP’s price action has been highlighted by a downtrend in recent days. A large part of this price downtrend is due to the wider decline in the crypto market. In his breakdown, Coach JV approached the XRP situation from a macroeconomic perspective. Rather than treating the ETF launch as an isolated trigger, he contextualized XRP’s current price behavior within the larger environment that financial markets are dealing with. A major theme of his outlook was the way people respond to hype. Coach JV stated plainly that the only way is to have discipline and a consistent plan. He did not build his message around chasing short-term excitement or reacting emotionally to price moves. His focus was on having a structure that an individual can stick to, regardless of whether XRP moves fast after the ETF launch or takes longer than many were expecting. Is $5 Next? I Don’t Know Coach JV also addressed one of the most common questions circulating in the community: whether $5 is the next big target for XRP now that an ETF is live. Related Reading: Analyst Breaks Down Why There Can’t Be 7 Million XRP Holders “Is $5 next? I don’t know; I’m not banking on that, I’m not waiting for it, I believe it’s going to happen at some point, and I have my exit strategy set up,” he said. That tone is now being echoed by others in the community who are pushing back against unrealistic targets. Zach Rector recently reminded his audience that XRP is not heading toward triple-digit prices this year, despite widespread speculation. Another commentator, known as Xoom on X, made a similar remark, saying XRP will not reach $100 or even $10 on ETF momentum alone. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.18, down by 3.5% in the past 24 hours. It is still too early to conclude how much long-term influence Spot XRP ETFs will have on price, especially with major issuers such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale yet to launch their own offerings.

In the turbulent and often unpredictable world of financial markets, asset correlations can dictate fortunes, creating either synergistic gains or painful downturns. Bitcoin is once again proving its resilience as it navigates a difficult period of negative market correlation. How Macro Pressure Failed To Break Bitcoin Market Structure Bitcoin is dealing with one of the most frustrating correlations in the market and is still surviving. CryptosRus has noted on X that BTC and Nasdaq are moving together, but BTC is reacting more to drops than to pumps. Wintermute pointed this out in their latest market report, and it’s exactly the type of pattern you normally see near macro bottoms, not near the top of a cycle. Related Reading: Why Is Bitcoin Price Crashing? Arthur Hayes Isn’t Surprised The incredible part of this trend is that BTC has already hit multiple all-time highs (ATHs) this year. BTC is still trading roughly 25% off the peak while carrying a correlation dynamic that shows how strongly it has been holding upward. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Bitcoin is on track to close the CME gap today, and the broader market context supports that move. The CIO and founder of MNFund and MNCapital, CryptoMichNL, has offered insight into crypto sentiment using the Fear and Greed Index, which shows an impression of the current state of the market comparable to previous occasions. This index is currently sitting at a 14 out of 100 level. The last time this level occurred was February 2025, right before BTC delivered a 20% decline in a month, and in June 2022, which marked a low during the Luna collapse. This shows exactly what the current market structure is, a pattern that doesn’t last long. CryptoMichNL concluded that it feels brutal when the broader crypto market and BTC are crashing simultaneously, but these phases do not last forever. That’s why patience is the most profitable strategy. Trend Reversal Strengthens As Price Moves Toward Support Zones Bitcoin is now moving directly into two major liquidity pockets, and these zones are likely to act as short-term support as the market searches for direction. An analyst known as Stockmoney Lizards has revealed that the BTC liquidation heatmap is signaling a heavy cluster of long liquidations between $80,000 and $90,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Slides Deeper Into Red, Extending Decline Toward Key Support Zones At the same time, there is a CME true gap between the $92,000 and $92,500 region with no wicks. Meanwhile, BTC has already broken below the weekly supertrend and the weekly EMA50, confirming that momentum hasn’t flipped and BTC is still in a correction phase. Stockmoney Lizards noted that from here, the $90,000 is the natural bounce zone, and we will see if the bounce will manage to ignite a breakout to the upside, or if BTC can continue sliding toward the mid-$80,000 range.

Cardano (ADA) is once again under heavy market pressure after a series of whale-driven shocks and broken support levels sent the asset spiraling toward multi-month lows. Related Reading: Why Is Bitcoin Price Crashing? Arthur Hayes Isn’t Surprised Trading around $0.46–$0.49, ADA has slipped beneath several key zones that protected the price structure throughout 2024 and early 2025. Analysts now warn that the sell-off could deepen toward the $0.43 – $0.30 range if downward momentum continues. ADA's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: ADAUSD on Tradingview ADA Slides as Whale Loss and Support Break Intensify Selling Pressure Much of the latest volatility stems from a dramatic whale incident. A dormant wallet holding 14.45 million ADA, inactive for five years, executed a swap into USDA, a pool so thin that the wallet absorbed devastating slippage. The whale walked away with only $847,000, realizing a staggering $6.2 million loss. The market’s response was immediate, confidence cracked, liquidity thinned, and sellers accelerated their exit. On-chain data shows broader whale activity amplifying the impact. More than 440 million ADA has been offloaded by large holders over the last month, further weakening the structure. ADA’s breakdown below $0.52, a level untouched since 2024, confirmed a bearish market regime dominated by lower highs, lower lows, and widening volatility bands. Technical Outlook Points Toward $0.43… or Even $0.30 Traders monitoring ADA’s trajectory highlight a crucial zone at $0.43, a technical target that aligns with the expanding bearish momentum reflected in indicators such as the MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands. The MACD’s deepening bearish crossover signals intensifying sell pressure, while the RSI hovering near oversold territory around 37 suggests weakness without confirming a recovery. Market analysts like Ali Martinez and Mr. Brownstone warn that failure to reclaim broken levels could expose ADA to a broader decline. Martinez identifies $0.30 as a long-term structural support, a cycle reset area that historically attracts accumulation during deep corrections. Analysts note that while capitulation metrics such as MVRV point to undervaluation, they do not eliminate the risk of further downside before any recovery materializes. Midnight’s NIGHT Token Launch Could Shift Sentiment, but Uncertainty Remains Even as ADA struggles, Cardano’s broader ecosystem is gearing up for a major milestone: the launch of Midnight’s NIGHT token on December 8, 2025. Midnight introduces privacy-focused smart contracts with selective disclosure, aiming to balance confidentiality with regulatory compliance. Analysts believe the NIGHT rollout could eventually inject positive momentum if adoption accelerates. Still, traders caution that ADA’s immediate outlook remains tied to technical fragility, liquidity challenges, and overall market sentiment.

XRP is facing one of its most challenging moments in recent months as selling pressure accelerates and the broader crypto market slips into a risk-off environment. Bitcoin’s collapse below key psychological levels has dragged altcoins with it, and XRP has not been spared. Analysts are increasingly warning that the market may be entering a bear phase, pointing to tightening liquidity conditions, rising global economic uncertainty, and a sharp decline in investor appetite for risk assets. Related Reading: Ethereum Approaches Historical Accumulation Level – Just 8% Away From LTH Cost Basis What makes XRP’s situation more fragile is the growing number of holders sitting on unrealized losses. On-chain data reveals that many late buyers — particularly those who entered after the ETF announcement and during the previous rally — are now underwater as the price continues to slide. This top-heavy market structure is creating pressure on holders, amplifying sell-side momentum as fear spreads. The macro backdrop is adding fuel to the fire. With global markets adjusting to rate volatility, geopolitical tensions, and tightening dollar liquidity, capital is flowing out of speculative assets. XRP’s price is now caught at a crossroads: either it stabilizes at key support zones and absorbs the panic selling, or a deeper correction unfolds. XRP Supply in Profit Signals Structural Fragility According to new data from Glassnode, XRP’s market structure is weakening significantly as the latest sell-off unfolds. The share of XRP supply currently in profit has fallen to 58.5%, marking its lowest reading since November 2024, when XRP traded at just $0.53. Despite today’s far higher price — around $2.15, nearly four times last year’s level — an alarming 41.5% of the circulating supply remains at a loss. That represents roughly 26.5 billion XRP sitting underwater. This divergence highlights a critical issue: the market has become top-heavy, dominated by investors who entered late into the rally and bought at elevated price levels. These holders are now feeling acute pressure as prices retrace. Making the XRP supply distribution more fragile and increasing the probability of panic-driven selling. Historically, such setups often lead to accelerated downside movement unless strong demand steps in. The fact that so much supply is in the red even at current elevated prices suggests that speculative flows, rather than long-term conviction, fueled the previous surge. As these late buyers face losses, sell pressure can intensify, feeding into a vicious cycle of liquidation. Related Reading: $14B In Stablecoins Minted Since October Crash: Liquidity Returning To Crypto XRP Price Analysis: Testing Critical Support Levels XRP continues to struggle as selling pressure intensifies, with the chart showing a clear downtrend forming since early October. The price is now trading around $2.18, hovering just above a key horizontal support zone that has been tested multiple times throughout the year. Each bounce from this region has grown weaker, suggesting diminishing buyer strength and rising vulnerability to a deeper breakdown. The moving averages reinforce this weakening structure. XRP is trading below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day MAs, with all three beginning to curl downward. A classic sign of trend deterioration. The failed attempt to reclaim the 50-day MA in early November marked a significant shift, as sellers quickly regained control and pushed the price lower. Volume spikes during downswings further confirm that distribution is ongoing. Related Reading: Ethereum Whale Expands Position By 36,437 ETH – Bringing Total To $1.34B Additionally, the lower highs forming since the September peak signal that bulls are losing momentum. Each rally attempt is being sold into faster, and the wick rejections near the $2.50–$2.60 region highlight strong overhead resistance. If XRP loses the current support band, the next liquidity pocket sits near $1.70–$1.80, where buyers previously defended aggressively. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

A senior executive at DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) has delivered one of the most aggressive long-term forecasts for the Solana price yet. According to him, Solana could see its value catapult to $10,000, leaving much of the market in the dust. This outlook, shaped by recent market turbulence and years of crypto experience, has drawn attention from industry experts as the DFDV executive outlines how SOL can reach this target by capturing a significant share of the global digital value. Solana Price To Reach $10,000 In 10 Years DFDV COO and CIO Parker White recently shared his long-term thesis on Solana following a rough week for risk assets in the market. White argued that Solana is poised for significant growth over the next decade, as digital value transfer becomes a core pillar of the global economy. Related Reading: Institutions Have Been Buying Solana Every Day For 2 Weeks, Is $300 Possible? In his view, the pressures of the past week only strengthen the case for Solana’s explosive upside potential. He emphasized that SOL is ideally positioned to capture an outsized portion of the global digital value, which he believes could propel the altcoin’s price toward the $10,000 mark. With SOL currently trading at $137 after declining by more than 25% in the past month, a surge to $10,000 would represent a massive gain of over 7,000%. As a Solana-focused treasury company, DFDV offers a different path of exposure. White has explained that he prefers building his position through the firm rather than purchasing SOL or a Solana ETF. He described the structure of DFDV as a Digital Asset Trust (DAT) controlled by him and a group of long-time colleagues, who collectively own more than 20% of the common stock. Furthermore, he stated that this concentrated level of ownership enables DFDV to aggressively grow its Solana per share much faster than a passive ETF could achieve. Responding to a comment questioning the purpose of such a structure, White emphasized that DFDV’s performance has already outpaced ETF alternatives. He pointed to a 32% annualized increase in Solana per share over the past three months, after accounting for operating costs, compared to the roughly 6% growth provided by ETFs after fees. For him, the long-term bet rests on achieving one SPS by late 2028—a milestone he believes could generate substantial wealth for both executives and token holders willing to endure ensuing market volatility. Why Volatility Is Central To DFDV’s Long-Term Outlook White made it clear in his X post that volatility is not a threat to DFDV’s model but a necessary factor. He highlighted that between now and 2028, he expects maximum volatility to flood the Solana market. He described DFDV as a volatility reactor designed to convert extreme market swings into long-term shareholder value, insisting that the firm can generate gains in both upward and downward market conditions. Related Reading: Solana To Dethrone Bitcoin And Ethereum? Here’s How The First SOL ETFs Are Faring For short-term traders, White advises that sharp price swings may provide opportunities to profit from rapid movements in SOL. He also stressed that long-term investors should prioritize accumulating and holding their investments, even during periods of high volatility. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
