According to TradingEconomics data, major cryptocurrencies showed mixed trading on December 8, 2025, as the market continues to face short-term corrective pressures, contrasted with more optimistic performance expectations for the coming year, based on Trading Economics models and analyst estimates.

The price of Bitcoin fell to around $90,089, a slight decrease of 0.34% compared to the previous session, reflecting ongoing selling pressures after a sharp monthly decline of 13.98%. Despite the relatively negative performance in recent weeks, the data shows a limited annual loss of about 7.58%, while forecasts indicate a gradual improvement, reaching around $90,426 by the end of the current quarter and $100,716 within a year, reflecting a bet on a new upward cycle.

In contrast, Ethereum performed positively during the session, rising to $3,123.43, an increase of 2.04%, benefiting from strong buying momentum that raised its monthly gains to 12.80%. However, the currency still records an annual decline of about 16% due to previous pressures. Market forecasts suggest the price may stabilize at $3,094.97 by the end of the quarter, with a potential rise to $3,740.71 within the next year.

Solana followed a similar upward trend, rising to $136.04, an increase of 2.88% from the previous session, with monthly gains of 17.29%. Despite a sharp annual decline of 37.83%, economic models expect prices to stabilize around $135.40 by the end of the quarter, with a potential rise to $168.48 within the next twelve months, reflecting renewed interest in projects based on fast blockchain networks.

Additionally, the price of Ripple rose to $2.075, an increase of 1.51%, supported by monthly gains of 12.36%, despite a slight annual loss of about 6.93%. Market forecasts estimate that the price will stabilize near $2.070 by the end of the current quarter, with potential for an increase to $2.578 within a year if institutional demand for digital assets linked to cross-border payments continues.
