XRP: The Quiet Rebel in a Sea of ETF Turmoil

Ah, XRP, the quiet rebel of the crypto world, sipping tea while the giants tremble. 🍵 Despite the ETF flows turning as unpredictable as a Russian winter, XRP stands firm, attracting a modest $64 million in inflows. A whisper in the storm, yet it outshines Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, who seem to be having a collective bad hair day. 💇‍♂️

  • XRP ETF inflows. While the big boys lost their marbles (and millions), XRP quietly pocketed $64 million. Who’s laughing now? 😏

The market, ever the drama queen, was caught off guard by the uneven ETF flow data. Bitcoin spot ETFs lost $782 million between Dec. 22 and 26, with all 12 products reporting net outflows. Ethereum followed suit with $102 million in withdrawals, and Solana barely kept its head above water with a $13.14 million gain. Meanwhile, XRP, the underdog, raked in $64 million, leaving its competitors in the dust. 🏎️

  • Still bearish. But let’s not pop the champagne just yet. XRP’s price remains below its 50-, 100-, and 200-day moving averages, trapped in a declining channel like a poet in a bureaucratic nightmare. 📉

The divergence is as stark as a Pasternak novel. XRP’s price chart screams “not a bull in sight,” yet the sell pressure is easing. Bounces are lasting longer, and the downward pushes are weaker. Is this the calm before the storm, or just another chapter in the saga of crypto’s existential angst? 🌪️

Bitcoin Shorts: A Tragedy in One Hour

Bitcoin bears, oh Bitcoin bears, how you were erased in a 3,436% liquidation imbalance! 🪦 As gold and the metals board hit intraday lows, Bitcoin shorts were wiped out like a forgotten stanza in a poem.

  • Short liquidations. In the last hour, $4.79 million in short liquidations versus a mere $139,410 in longs. A 3,436% imbalance! The market’s sense of humor is as dark as a Moscow winter. 🌑

Total liquidations for Bitcoin reached $4.93 million, according to CoinGlass. But the real story is the capital rotation. Profit-taking in previously strong assets is pushing liquidity toward new markets, like a poet seeking inspiration in a foreign land. 🌍

  • Capital rotation. When the winners fall hard in a single session, profit-taking is the first reaction, and the search for the next liquid venue is the second. It’s the crypto version of “the grass is always greener.” 🌱

The liquidation imbalance is the smoking gun, showing positioning flipped in real time. Shorts in BTC were punished, longs barely felt a breeze, and the forced buy pressure is pulling fresh spot interest. Will Bitcoin rise from the ashes like a phoenix, or is this just another verse in its tragic poem? 🦅

Shiba Inu: The Golden Cross and the Bark Heard Around the World

Shiba Inu, the meme coin with a heart of gold, has printed a golden cross on its short-term charts as 2025 closes. 🐕✨ The markets are now watching with bated breath, wondering if this is the beginning of a new bark or just a fleeting howl in the wind.

  • SHIB golden cross. The 50-hour moving average has crossed above the 200-hour moving average, a signal that positive price momentum might be building. Or is it just wishful thinking? 🌟

A golden cross, they say, is a sign of hope. But in the crypto world, hope is a fickle friend. Shiba Inu’s price rebounded sharply over the weekend, pushing to $0.00000739, before extending slightly higher on Monday. Yet, it remains in a range, like a poet trapped in a rhyme scheme. 📊

  • Price rebound. From a low of $0.000007 on Dec. 26, SHIB rose to $0.00000739 on Saturday, and continued its ascent to $0.0000074 on Monday. At press time, it’s up 2.82% in the last 24 hours to $0.000007382. Will it break free, or is this just another verse in its endless poem? 🧐

As 2025 closes, Shiba Inu’s golden cross is a glimmer of hope in a market full of uncertainty. But in the world of crypto, as in life, the only certainty is uncertainty. So, let’s raise a glass to XRP, Bitcoin, and Shiba Inu, the protagonists in this never-ending drama. 🥂
