ETH, ADA SOL slip as year-end selling lingers as bitcoin traders eye $80,000 to $100,000 range
Major altcoins declined with low trading volume as Bitcoin traders anticipate a $80,000-$100,000 range for the leading cryptocurrency.Summary
Alternative cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL) experienced a dip in value on Tuesday amid thin trading volumes. Bitcoin (BTC) is currently hovering around $87,300, down approximately 3% over the past 24 hours. Analysts, such as Linh Tran from XS, predict that Bitcoin’s price in the first quarter of 2026 will likely remain stable, fluctuating between $80,000 and $100,000, due to factors like current monetary policy, selective ETF flows, and ongoing regulatory consolidation. The market is currently struggling to attract new investment, and even small sell-offs can impact prices, particularly during U.S. trading hours. Traders are closely monitoring whether Bitcoin can maintain support in the mid-$80,000s as the new year approaches.
