A cryptocurrency trading expert has pointed out that an XRP price breakout is already confirmed following the short-term bullish momentum, and investors should anticipate further surges. According to Alan Santana, XRP is showing potential for a higher shift, having broken above a descending trendline after weeks of consolidation following its December 2024 peak, as indicated in his TradingView post on January 12. XRP price analysis chart. Source: TradingView/Alan Santana Santana’s outlook noted that after a sharp bullish rally late last year, inspired by post-election optimism, XRP entered a retracement phase that evolved into a consolidation pattern. This pattern, often considered a 50/50 scenario where price action can break up or down, has now decisively favored the bulls. He added that broader market conditions in 2025, particularly in this post- Bitcoin -halving year, have created an overwhelmingly bullish environment for cryptocurrencies , tipping the odds in favor of upward momentum. XRP price levels to watch The expert noted that the short-term bullish momentum is a critical development, as it confirms bullish dominance and sets XRP on course to retest significant price levels. The first target for XRP is $2.70, a retest of its last major high. Should the bullish momentum persist, Santana anticipates that $2.90 could also come into play. Ultimately, this target may push the asset to the coveted $3 mark. “The break of the pattern upper resistance indicates an advance to the last high, that is a minimum of $2.7. This can go higher and $2.9 be challenged. A bullish breakout is now confirmed,” the expert stated. On the other hand, for the possibility of new all-time highs, an analysis by Cryptoinsightuk in an X post on January 12 highlighted $2.61 as the critical price to watch. If XRP closes above this level, its upward trajectory could solidify. Such a close would signal sustained bullish sentiment and strengthen the case for further gains in the coming weeks.

Source: TradingView At the same time, as reported by Finbold, another pseudonymous analyst, The Great Mattsby , projected that XRP was ‘just days away’ from another record-high breakout. This projection is based on XRP’s short-term technical strength. Indeed, this bullish outlook is backed by token whales accumulating XRP, a significant development for the Ripple-affiliated asset. XRP also faces several bullish fundamentals that are likely to spur price growth. For instance, the community is anticipating the conclusion of the long-standing legal tussle between Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ). This expectation has heightened due to President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of crypto-friendly Paul Atkins to replace outgoing SEC Chair Gary Gensler . Additionally, there is a growing expectation that the new SEC administration will likely consider approving a spot XRP exchange-traded fund ( ETF ). In this line, Nate Geraci, an ETF analyst, has projected that the product will likely be approved this year.

XRP price analysis By press time, XRP was trading at $2.48, having gained over 4% in the last 24 hours, while on the weekly chart, the asset has risen nearly 6%. These short-term gains are noteworthy, as they emerged during a bearish sentiment in the general market. XRP seven-day price chart. Source: Finbold XRP is maintaining a strong position above its 50-day simple moving average ( SMA ) price of $2.15 and its 200-day SMA of $0.97, signaling a robust uptrend. For XRP to sustain its current momentum, investors need to monitor how the asset interacts with the $2.50 level. Sustained gains above this mark could signal a continued uptrend, while failure to hold above it might suggest a reversal.

In a significant shift for the cryptocurrency landscape, hedge fund manager Scott Bessent is divesting his holdings in Bitcoin ETFs following his nomination as Treasury Secretary. Bessent’s decision to step
Volgende week maandag, 20 januari, neemt Donald Trump opnieuw plaats in het Witte Huis. Volgens velen is dit positief voor de crypto markt, maar er wordt ook gespeculeerd over een nieuwe crypto crash op de dag zelf. Dit komt door een groot aantal short-term holders die mogelijk uit paniek verkopen als BTC te ver daalt. Aan de andere kant is de inauguratie van Trump een positieve factor voor de crypto markt. Trump kan als president belangrijke veranderingen maken in het regulatoire klimaat in de VS, maar ook heeft hij mogelijk plannen voor een Bitcoin reserve. Dit kan zorgen voor directe en indirecte koopdruk, die Bitcoin naar een nieuw niveau zou tillen. Dreiging voor nieuwe crypto crash Gebaseerd op de Short-Term Cost Basis is het niveau van $88k (lichtblauw) een belangrijke om te verdedigen. Aan het begin van de middag ligt de Bitcoin koers nog redelijk stabiel op $93.900. Mocht hij onder $88k dalen, dan is het mogelijk dat short-term holders uit paniek verkopen. Zo’n scenario kan leiden tot een domino-effect, waarin de koers steeds lager gaat, doordat meer mensen uit paniek verkopen. Uiteraard wordt de koers uiteindelijk opgevangen door een stijgende koopdruk. Aan de andere kant is een grote crypto rally mogelijk als de Bitcoin koers boven $88k blijft na de inauguratie van Trump op 20 januari. Hoe snel de interesse in crypto vanaf dat moment zal groeien is nog een verrassing, maar het is genoeg om Bitcoin naar een nieuwe all-time high boven $108.300 te tillen. Een ander scenario is dat investeerders en traders in de aanloop naar 20 januari massaal investeren, waardoor bekende crypto’s stijgen vóór de 20e. Als dit gebeurt, blijf dan op de hoede voor een mogelijke ‘sell-the-news’, die op 20 januari of in de opvolgende dagen kan zorgen voor een crypto crash. Gaat Bitcoin dalen naar $88k in crypto crash? Op het moment is het erg onwaarschijnlijk dat de Bitcoin koers onder $88k gaat dalen in de aanloop naar 20 januari. Sinds zijn stijging boven $90k in november 2024, is de bekende cryptomunt nog geen enkele keer onder dit niveau gezakt. Het sterke support rond $90k maakt een daling onder $88k erg lastig op korte termijn. Bitcoin heeft op hetzelfde moment te maken met een sterke resistance rond $97.300, gevormd door zijn 30-daagse moving average (geel). Een andere sterke resistance is te zien rond $102k. Deze resistance zorgde vorige week maandag voor een significante daling. Ook de Relative Strength Index (RSI) van 45 maakt een scherpe daling onwaarschijnlijk. De RSI geeft aan dat het momentum neutraal is met een lichte bearish tint, dit betekent dat BTC niet wordt beschouwd als overgewaardeerd op het moment. Tenzij het sentiment van de markt bearish wordt, lijkt het erop dat crypto gaat stijgen. Combineer dit met de mogelijkheid dat de markt zeer positief reageert op de inauguratie van Trump en de komende weken kunnen zeer winstgevend worden voor investeerders. Cryptocurrency is riskant, maar om de komende weken geen crypto te hebben, is in zekere zin ook riskant. Mogelijk zorgt Trump voor een grote rally zonder crash en zien we de levels van vandaag voorlopig niet meer terug. Welke altcoins gaan stijgen in volgende crypto rally? Bitcoin en grote altcoins kunnen de komende weken veel aandacht krijgen en significant stijgen. Als we echter kijken naar kleinere altcoins, kunnen deze nog harder stijgen als ze worden opgepakt door investeerders. Hieronder kijken we naar 3 kleine crypto’s met potentie om te exploderen in het eerste kwartaal van 2025. Kleine altcoins dragen uiteraard meer risico dan Bitcoin en bekende crypto’s, maar kunnen hierdoor ook veel harder stijgen als alles goed gaat. Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) Wall Street Pepe ($WEPE) is een van de meest populaire crypto presales van het moment en heeft al $46,5 miljoen opgehaald sinds zijn lancering in december.

Een ander voordeel is dat je je tokens direct kunt staken voor een huidige APY van 27%. De hoge populariteit van de presale is een goed teken dat de meme coin kan exploderen na lancering.

The wildfires tearing through Los Angeles are also a financial hurricane that will leave scars on the U.S. economy for decades. Over 38,000 acres—an area 2.5 times the size of Manhattan—have already been scorched, and the destruction keeps growing. The numbers are mind-bending. Estimated damages have climbed to $150 billion, the highest ever recorded for a wildfire in America. Just 24 hours ago, experts put the damage at $50 billion. Now, AccuWeather’s new estimate triples that figure. Over 10,000 structures have been destroyed, and rebuilding those homes and businesses is expected to take more than a decade. Financial damage caused by wildfires in the United States. Source: TKL This makes the 2018 Camp Fire, which caused $12.5 billion in damages (adjusted for today’s dollars), look like child’s play. The LA wildfires are twelve times more expensive, and the total cost is still climbing. If the fires rage on, the final figure could push past Hurricane Katrina’s $200 billion bill, making this the most expensive disaster in U.S. history. Not a great record to break, we’d wager. A financial punch that stings worldwide Let’s put this $150 billion into perspective. It’s more than the GDP of 58 countries. That’s right—this wildfire has done more economic damage than most economies produce in an entire year. To get even more specific, the $150 billion is more than half the GDP of Finland and a third of Singapore’s GDP. Insurance companies saw some of this coming, and a lot of homeowners are paying the price for it—literally. In the Pacific Palisades, 69% of homeowners lost their insurance policies before the fires even started. Back in July, State Farm canceled 1,600 policies in the area. Other insurers also bailed, leaving thousands with no choice but to rely on California’s FAIR Plan, the high-risk insurance safety net. Now, losses to the FAIR Plan are expected to hit $24 billion. Areas in California that lost their State Farm insurance before the wildfires. Source: TKL JPMorgan estimates that insured damages will total $20 billion. But while some insurers backed out early, others stayed in and underestimated the risk. This is shaping up to be the biggest test the insurance market has ever faced. Reliance on the FAIR Plan skyrocketed last year. The Pacific Palisades saw an 85% jump in FAIR Plan usage compared to 2023, far above the 40% average increase in California ZIP codes. This reliance is stretching California’s finances thin. The state is facing a massive, years-long burden, as fires continue to rip through some of its most valuable real estate. The Palisades fire burned through a ZIP code where the average home costs over $3 million. The Eaton fire, raging east of Los Angeles, also tore through high-value neighborhoods. Lives lost in the chaos The human toll is equally grim. So far, 16 deaths have been confirmed, but the final count won’t be clear until investigators can access neighborhoods still plagued by downed power lines and gas leaks. Among the dead are an amputee and his son with cerebral palsy, who were found together in their home. Areas using the FAIR Plan across California. Source: TKL Another victim stayed behind to fight the fire engulfing the house he had lived in for over 50 years. An 85-year-old woman refused to leave her pets behind as the Palisades fire closed in. She didn’t survive. A former Australian child star and a Malibu surfer described as a “magnet for people” also lost their lives. Of the confirmed deaths, five are tied to the Palisades fire near the coast, and six to the Eaton fire. Officials warn that the numbers could rise significantly. Economic ripple effects Estimated damages now account for about 0.55% of the entire U.S. GDP. This disaster is also exposing gaps in U.S. disaster response policies, as billions of dollars in federal aid will likely be needed to support recovery efforts. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has flagged climate change as a growing risk to financial stability. For the U.S., the fires come at a time when the economy is already dealing with high interest rates and lingering inflation. In 2025, GDP growth is forecasted at 2%, a slight downgrade from 2.7% in 2024. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate has dropped to 2.7% from its peak of 9% in 2022, but any more economic shocks will derail progress. The Federal Reserve has tried to stabilize the economy, but the cost of disasters like these could force policymakers to rethink their strategies. Rebuilding efforts will likely require massive government spending, adding pressure to the national debt and President Donald Trump. Poor guy had dreams of cutting down spending. The labor market, while stable with a 4.2% unemployment rate, could face challenges as thousands of Californians lose jobs due to the fires. Rebuilding will create opportunities, but they won’t come fast enough for those already struggling. Land a High-Paying Web3 Job in 90 Days: The Ultimate Roadmap

As a result, the altcoin market skyrocketed, resulting in a bull run in the Polygon price. However, analysts expect a steady surge in crypto market prices following a bearish December. We expect MATIC to record a minimum price of $0.57 and a maximum price of $0.72, with an average of $0.6 in January. MATIC Price Prediction Potential low Potential average Potential high MATIC Price Prediction January 2025 $0.57 $0.6 $0.72 MATIC price prediction 2025 Ethereum fees increase dramatically during a bull market, making it too expensive for regular cryptocurrency users. That’s why Polygon became popular during the last bull market. But this time, in 2025, Polygon has tougher competition from Arbitrum, Optimism, and Starknet. However, Polygon’s Proof of Stake (PoS) chain can handle up to 65,000 transactions per second (TPS) and is cheaper than chains like Arbitrum and Optimism. Hence, increasing adoption might drive up its price in 2025. In 2025, the price of Polygon is forecasted to reach a minimum level of $1.34. It’s anticipated to achieve a maximum level of $1.57, with an average price of $1.39 throughout the year.

The price actions for BTC in the past week or so were nothing short of a full-on rollercoaster, and the volatile ride is expected to continue in the following days, especially with Trump’s inauguration just around the corner. With bitcoin losing a substantial chunk of its weekly gains, the crowd has expectedly turned bearish. However, that could be a blessing in disguise. Bears Are Back Upon MicroStrategy’s Monday announcement about its latest BTC purchase, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap skyrocketed to over $100,000 and beyond $102,000 for the first time this year. However, that relief rally was short-lived and the asset slumped hard in the following days, dumping by more than ten grand at one point without 48 hours. The culmination came on Thursday when bitcoin dumped to $91,250 (on Bitstamp), which became its lowest price level since late November 2024. The bulls finally intercepted the nosedive at this point and didn’t allow a further decline below $90,000 despite multiple warnings by prominent analysts. Naturally, the crowd turned bearish following such a massive crash, with the Fear and Greed Index going back to neutral on Friday for the first time since October.

The crypto analytics resource Santiment has frequently suggested that BTC tends to move in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations. This means that in times of uncertainty similar to now when retail is going bearish on social media, the cryptocurrency proves them wrong with a notable price surge and vice versa. Such was the case in early December 2024 when bitcoin tumbled again from over $100,000 toward $90,000.
