Crypto Price Analysis December-26: ETH, XRP, ADA, BNB, and HYPE

This Friday, we examine Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Binance Coin, and Hyperliquid in greater detail.

Ethereum (ETH)

In the second part of December, Ethereum has been mostly flat with a price similar to last week, hovering above the support at $2,870.

The momentum is flat due to the lack of volume and interest from market participants (holiday season). ETH needs a catalyst to take it above the key resistance at $3,345.

Looking ahead, the cryptocurrency has been consolidating around the $3,000 level since late November, indicating indecision. This is likely to continue until a decisive breakout, most likely to happen in early 2026.

Ripple (XRP)

In December, XRP lost its key support at $2 and closed this week with a modest 1% loss. Buyers returned around $1.8 to defend the price, but due to the low volume, there was no significant bounce to attract more buyers.

With $2 now acting as a resistance, XRP will have a tough time breaking this level in the future, particularly because the current momentum is bearish with lower lows more likely.

Looking ahead, XRP could fall to $1.6 before buyers return in force, a level not seen since April and October 2025.

Cardano (ADA)

Bad news for ADA holders as the price lost its support at 40 cents and closed the week with a 3% loss. This level will also act as a key resistance going forward.

With no buyers in sight, the price action looks extremely bearish and has stayed so since the October 10th crash. The current downtrend has been very aggressive with barely any relief.

Looking ahead, if sellers maintain this pressure in the future, Cardano could fall to 30 cents next or even lower if bulls don’t return.

Binance Coin (BNB)

Binance Coin tried to break the resistance at $900, but was sharply rejected, and the price is currently hovering around $840. This also pushed BNB to close the week with a 1% loss.

With momentum clearly on the bear side, the price could fall much lower in the days and weeks to come. Support is found at $800 and $690, which could bring back buyers should such discounts appear in the future.

Looking ahead, this cryptocurrency is likely to underperform until early 2026, when a bounce or relief rally could materialize if the key support levels hold.

Hype (HYPE)

HYPE closed the week in green with a modest 2% gain. To get excited, buyers will need to break above $26, which is currently acting as a key resistance.

The downtrend since late September has been extremely aggressive, with the price losing over 60% of its valuation. At the time of this post, this cryptocurrency found strong support around $22, which allowed the price to bounce.

Looking ahead, this cryptocurrency remains weak, with the downtrend intact. HYPE needs to move above $26 and, ideally, $30 to build confidence in a sustained recovery.
