Crypto Market Analysis: Daily Bitcoin, Ethereum & DeFi Updates podcast.Hey folks, Crypto Willy here, your go-to buddy for all things Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DeFi. Kicking off this week's wrap-up, Bitcoin's been a wild ride post-Christmas, dipping hard in Q4 2025 with a brutal 22.8% plunge—its second-worst quarterly loss since 2018, per AInvest analysis. Trading around $87,500 to $88,000 as of December 26, BTC's hugging that tight $88K-$90K band amid extreme fear on the Fear & Greed Index at 23, while RSI dips below 50 and MACD stays negative. AInvest spots a rising wedge pattern screaming potential breakdown—if $86K fails, we're eyeing $73K-$75K support, but hold above $94,589 could blast to $105K-$108K.Changelly's price forecast brings some holiday cheer, predicting BTC climbs to $93,179 by December 29, then $95,714 by year-end, with December averaging $92,394. BeInCrypto flags bullish signals too: On-Balance Volume divergence and long-term Hodlers adding 3,783 BTC on December 26—their first conviction buy in three months. Support at $86,915 holds firm since December 19, eyeing a relief rally past $90,840 toward $97K if volume kicks in. VanEck's mid-December ChainCheck notes corps scooped 42K BTC as ETPs faded, hash rate dropped 4% signaling miner capitulation bottoms, and diamond-hand long-term holders (>5y) stayed put despite a 9% monthly slide.Ethereum?

PlanB on YouTube called November's close at $90K a big 30% dip from ATH, pondering what's next. CoinDesk reports BTC sank below $87K on December 26, with their index at $87,514.Three paths ahead per AInvest: bullish breakout, bearish to $74K, or range-bound stalemate 'til macro catalysts hit.
