In a video shared on X on Dec. 13, technical analyst Quantum Ascend argued that Cardano’s ADA price structure resembles its 2020 setup, and outlined targets as high as $10.40 for a future bull run. He described a large, time-based corrective triangle on the weekly chart and highlighted a conservative zone around $4.88–$5.50, while ADA was trading near $0.4022 at the time. The analyst pointed to multiple technical confluence levels, past fractal-like behavior and comparisons with Ethereum Classic as supporting evidence for a potential move into the $10 area.

Hashdex released its 2026 crypto investment outlook, with CIO Samir Kerbage suggesting most investors consider a 5–10% crypto allocation. The report projects stablecoins rising from roughly $295 billion to well over $500 billion and tokenized RWAs reaching about $400 billion by end-2026, while AI-focused crypto grows from around $3 billion to $10 billion.

On Friday, Dogecoin traded near $0.140 while Bitcoin hovered around $92,300, forming the backdrop for a bearish outlook from YouTube analyst VisionPulsed. In a video published on December 11, he argued that if Bitcoin has indeed entered a bear market, DOGE could revisit the $0.05–$0.06 range within the next 12 months, unless BTC sets a new all-time high by February. He based his view on technical indicators, historical patterns, and past divergences between Bitcoin and Dogecoin price action.

On 9 December 2025, Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi said on the Milk Road Show that Ethereum should be assessed like early-stage Amazon, with protocol fees treated as profit. He pushed back on price-to-sales critiques, noting ETH’s multiples near 300–380 and citing Amazon’s history of very high earnings ratios. ETH traded at $3,325 at press time.

On December 8, analyst Cryptollica posted a 2‑week XRP/USD chart on TradingView, saying price action is tracking a 2017‑style fractal with a key pivot at $1.95. The roadmap calls for a breakout‑and‑retest above $1.95. The initial focus is around $3.30–$3.84. If the pattern persists, the projection extends to $9–$13, and the screenshot showed price near $2.0892.

Standard Chartered has sharply lowered its multi-year Bitcoin price projections, cutting its 2026 target from $300,000 to $150,000 and reducing expectations across the decade.

Shiba Inu posted its strongest six-month surge in large-holder activity, with 406 single-day transfers above $100,000.

On December 7, 2025, Dogecoin was trading near $0.14050 on the 1‑month DOGE/USDT chart, sitting directly at the lower edge of its monthly Ichimoku cloud support. The monthly candle at that point showed a decline of about 3.8%, with price trading well below the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen and compressed between long-term cloud support and a red support band around $0.135–$0.145 on the weekly chart. As long as monthly closes remain roughly in the $0.12–$0.14 range, the pattern can still be read as a potential long-term bottom rather than a completed breakdown.
