Assets seeing high whale activity are significantly more likely to see price reversals, as key stakeholders make moves commonly around profit taking or dip buying moments.
For stablecoins, increased activity is typically a good sign that large levels of funds are being prepared to be swapped for altcoins that are common with that stablecoin's trading pair. For example, Dai (shown 3 times on this countdown) is commonly associated with ETH-based assets. 👀
🗣️ As Bitcoin is back above the $100K support level once again, the top trending topics surging across social media are:
🪙 Traders are discussing XRP's 7-year high market value, along with the bullish sentiment surrounding the asset's prior legal victories over the SEC, and the SEC's appeal. Additionally, there is significant anticipation of regulatory changes and further market recovery to extend XRP's rally.
⚡️ Major excitement over the potential approval of a Litecoin ETF by the SEC. Analysts suggest that this approval could lead to a price surge for LTC, generating considerable interest among investors. The recent rally in Litecoin's price has further fueled optimism on social media, particularly alongside XRP and its own rally.
⏳ The word ''itsstillearly'' is trending due to its frequent usage in discussions about the current state and future potential of cryptocurrency. Many users express the sentiment that the crypto market is still in its infancy, highlighting the opportunities for growth and adoption that lie ahead. The phrase encapsulates a belief within the community that despite current challenges, the time to engage with cryptocurrencies is now, as significant advancements and innovations are expected in the near future.
🏦 Discussions have grown surrounding the SEC's legal actions against Ripple and its implications for the cryptocurrency market. Still aiming to classify XRP as a security, this ongoing legal battle is generating considerable attention that has mostly resulted in XRP's market value climbing higher on increased investor interest and confidence.
🇺🇸 Speculation is high regarding Donald Trump's potential changes in the cryptocurrency space once he is inaugurated next week. Particularly regarding the establishment of a strategic reserve for U.S.-based cryptocurrencies like XRP and Solana, as well as overall regulatory changes that are expected to positively impact the entire sector.
📈 XRP has just reached a new 7-year high, crossing a $3.39 market value for the first time since January, 2018. With this rise, we have just seen 2,365 $100K+ XRP transactions in the latest 8-hour span, the highest spike since December 34rd. Total holders are also skyrocketing.
📊 Crypto markets have ignited new optimism as Bitcoin briefly crossed above $100K for the first time in 2025. Was the bounce just to get retailers excited again, or is this just the beginning of another great year? We investigate in our latest insight. 👇 https://insights.santiment.net/read/should-bitcoin-s-return-above-100k-put-crypto-back-in-celebration-mode-8394?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=twitter_btc_back_in_celebration_mode_insight_b_011525/&fpr=twitter
⚡️📈 Litecoin has decoupled from other altcoins, jumping +16.1% in market cap in just the past 11 hours. Just as we saw in early December, the key driver appears to be whales and sharks holding at least 10K+ $LTC. They have accumulated 250K coins since Jan. 9th. 👀
📈 Two US-themed bullish news stories have hit crypto today, causing Bitcoin to rise as high as $99.7K and altcoins to surge:
🇺🇸 Donald Trump has announced that his upcoming presidency is planning for immediate friendlier SEC rules, clearer token guidelines, and less legal restrictions following his inauguration next week.
👷 US inflation reports show cooling inflation and more optimism of further Fed rate cuts, which would immediately favor crypto growth. Though the hawkish FOMC meeting last month contributed to a cryptocurrency top, traders are hoping that this slightly changes their decisions on slowing rate cuts in 2025.
🗣️ The top trending tokens in crypto Tuesday are XRP and Ethereum, as traders show significant interest toward top caps during the rebounds:
🪙 1) XRP Ledger $XRP: Increased optimism over the asset's potential use in banking and financial transactions, highlighting its efficiency, low transaction costs, and role as a bridge currency for cross-border payments. There are predictions of significant price increases and market cap growth, as well as speculation surrounding potential ETF approvals that could lead to substantial investments in XRP.
🪙 2) Ethereum $ETH: Significant excitement over the launch of Soneium, an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain developed by Sony. There are multiple transactions involving significant amounts of ETH, highlighting active trading and investment throughout the Ethereum ecosystem.
🐳📈 XRP investors are pleased to see the #3 market cap asset reach $2.69 today for the first time since December 17, 2024. This is being supported by continued enormous accumulation from wallets holding 1M-10M XRP, who own over 37% more coins than they did 2 months ago (approximately $3.8B in XRP added since their accumulation began on November 12, 2024.
🗣️ The top trending topics in crypto are heavily revolving around Bitcoin's temporary drop to under $90K and Trump's inauguration next week. Regarding the former, the fact that '$90K' was being spammed across social media was a great fear signal that would foreshadow a bounce.
🐳🦐 With crypto's bullish momentum taking a now 4-week hiatus, we have taken a close inspection of how different sized Bitcoin wallets are collectively behaving on the network. Read how tiers will play an important factor in how 2025 will play out. 👇 https://insights.santiment.net/read/bitcoin-s-supply-distribution-and-2025-s-early-takeaways-8386?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=twitter_btc_supply_distribution_breakdown_insight_b_011325/&fpr=twitter
📊 As crypto markets have been hanging on to precious support levels, the community's sentiment toward top caps remain in very different positions:
😐 Bitcoin $BTC: With a market value just above $92K, crypto's top asset has disappointed traders over the past 4 weeks now. But MicroStrategy's significant purchases leave the long-term outlook still semi-optimistic, from the crowd's view.
🫣 Ethereum $ETH: The #2 market cap asset's temporary drop below $3K today has left the crowd getting skeptical of any upcoming recovery. Pair that with the fact that its price ratio against Bitcoin recently reached a 4-year low, and it's no surprise the community has turned bearish.
😎 XRP Ledger $XRP: Traders are still quite optimistic of XRP's future, despite the asset correcting alongside the rest of the crypto sector. But the asset's recent 7-year high, positive court rulings, and active developments are still considered a bright spot among the faithful community.
📊 Crypto trading volume has sunk as 'trading paralysis' has swept markets. Top projects across Layer 1's, Layer 2's, meme coins, and AI last saw this low level of trading on November 4th. The lack of excitement is a sign of FUD, which increases the probability of rebounds.
📈 As crypto markets move sideways, the following projects have seen massive rises in growth on their respective networks this week, defined as new wallets created:
With rising utility comes rising market values, given enough time. Be patient, wait for Bitcoin to provide profits to be redistributed, and capitalize on projects like these. 💪
🫣 Crypto has been a slight let down for traders over the past week, and we have been seeing higher than usual mentions of selling interest. Just like we saw throughout the Q4 bull rally, when the crowd begins to get too bearish, higher prices become much more likely. 👍
