Slight Decline in Major Cryptocurrency Prices Amid Market Stability
Top cryptocurrencies see slight price declines amid market caution and year-end corrections, with optimism for 2026 remaining.
- Bitcoin (BTC): Currently trading around $90,000 (between $89,900 and $90,200 depending on platforms), down between 0.5% and 1.5% in the past 24 hours. Compared to a week ago (around $89,300 in some reports), it shows relative stability with a slight downward trend after failing to break the $92,000-$94,000 level.
- Ethereum (ETH): Around $3,110, down about 1% to 1.4%. A week ago, it was close to $3,040-$3,080, indicating a slight increase followed by correction, supported by positive ETF inflows but affected by overall pressure.
- Binance Coin (BNB): Around $890 (between $885 and $895), down about 1.3%. It performed stronger recently, with a potential weekly increase, but is now retreating with the market.
- Solana (SOL): Around $132-$133, down slightly by about 0.3% to 1.8%. A week ago, it was close to $132, stabilizing after previous drops from higher levels in November.
- Ripple (XRP): Around $2.00, down about 1%. Relatively stable compared to last week, supported by positive regulatory developments.
- Concerns about an AI bubble: Declining tech stocks (like Broadcom) impact high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.
- Year-end correction: Following strong gains in October/November, with outflows from Bitcoin ETF funds and expectations of tightening monetary policies (like interest rate hikes in Japan).
- Low liquidity and liquidations: Weekend and low activity lead to volatility, with concerns about selling by whales or major companies.
- Correlation with traditional markets: Cryptocurrencies are following stock indices, with anticipation of decisions from the US Federal Reserve.
