\t has been gaining attention after entering a steady weekly uptrend. Now trading near $430, over 135% higher since the start of 2025, XMR is increasingly highlighted by traders as one of the best crypto to buy in the current environment.<\/p>\n

With Bitcoin repeatedly probing the $85,000 area and momentum fading, analysts warn of potential downside if key support breaks. Thinner holiday liquidity may amplify price swings in the coming days, keeping traders on edge.<\/p>\n

For now, bulls and bears are divided, with some calling for the beginning of a bear market and others viewing this as a strong correction before a possible next leg higher. The next couple of weeks may be characterized by high volatility.<\/p>\n

Institutional flows underline the market\u2019s defensive tone. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded noticeable outflows, adding pressure to BTC\u2019s price and signaling year-end portfolio positioning. Combined Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF withdrawals reinforce the cautious stance across major players.<\/p>\n

December 16 (ET), Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $277 million, with only Fidelity’s FBTC experiencing a net inflow. Ethereum spot ETFs had a total net outflow of $224 million, marking a four-day streak of outflows. Solana spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $3.64 million.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/j7nvrX3NsY<\/a><\/p>\n

Holiday Liquidity and Year-End Momentum in Focus<\/h2>\n

The market enters a period with few major crypto events on the calendar, leaving price direction tied mainly to macro sentiment, liquidity conditions, and end-of-year adjustments. As Christmas approaches, lower trading volume historically increases volatility, potentially driving sharper moves in either direction.<\/p>\n

Longer-term themes\u2014regulation, institutional interest, and ETF demand\u2014continue to shape expectations. For now, though, all eyes remain on whether Bitcoin can protect the $85,000 level or slide toward deeper retracements as 2025 closes.<\/p>\n

SPX Crypto and FARTCOIN Are Charting a Reversal: But New Hot Doge Is This Whale\u2019s Choice<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\tBy Fatima<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

SPX crypto and fartcoin are starting to show up again on our spidey radar after the memecoin sector kind of faded away into the far background.<\/p>\n

The memecoin crypto space cooled off hard, but SPX and fartcoin didn\u2019t fully break down the way many, including me, expected. Instead, both are forming structures that, perhaps, just perhaps, appear near turning points. It\u2019s still early, but both coins are beginning to look less like fading jokes as charts try to find their footing for their next leg.<\/p>\n

Sentiment has shifted. Although fear hasn\u2019t fully disappeared, selling pressure seems cooled off. When SPX and fartcoin stop reacting aggressively to bad news, this usually means sellers are running out of energy, just like every other crypto coin price action.<\/p>\n

However, this alone doesn\u2019t guarantee a rally, but it does give us quite an excitement.<\/p>\n
