• TRON price held above $0.28 despite heavy price declines across the crypto market.
• Bulls are showing greater resilience as most altcoins shed gains.
• TRX could jump to above $0.30 or slip to major support in the $0.22-$0.20 region.

As the cryptocurrency market continues to grapple with significant volatility and downward pressure, TRON (TRX)  has stood out as a beacon of stability, firmly maintaining its price around the $0.28 level.

This resilience reflects TRON’s robust ecosystem fundamentals amid a broader sector correction that has seen major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum retreat substantially from their yearly highs.

BNB price is also showing bearish signals.

TRON price holds key level at $0.28

TRON’s native token, TRX, has exhibited remarkable price stability in recent weeks, hovering consistently around $0.28 despite fluctuating market conditions.

Market data from major exchanges and aggregators have confirmed the current trading price at approximately $0.284, with minor variations across platforms reflecting real-time liquidity.

This steadfast performance is supported by strong on-chain metrics. TRON’s network continues to dominate in stablecoin transactions, particularly with USDT, which accounts for a significant portion of its activity.

Recent integrations, such as bridging with Coinbase’s Base Layer 2 network via LayerZero technology, have enhanced interoperability and liquidity for TRX.

Additionally, partnerships like the integration with Kalshi, the world’s largest prediction market platform, and Orbiter Finance for cross-chain swaps have bolstered ecosystem utility.

TRX bulls look to defy bears

While TRON maintains its ground, the broader cryptocurrency market is enduring a pronounced downturn.

Bitcoin has fallen sharply from its October peak above $126,000 to around $87k.

Liquidity concerns, ETF outflows, and macroeconomic uncertainties have dictated this downward action.

Ethereum has similarly struggled, trading at $2,950 after sellers capped a move to highs of $3,000 earlier in the session.

Several altcoins have experienced even steeper losses.

In contrast, TRON bulls have defied this trend through accumulated demand from real-world applications.

The network’s high throughput, low fees, and dominance in decentralized finance (DeFi) and stablecoin transfers, processing billions in daily volume have attracted steady inflows.

As the market navigates potential further corrections, TRON bulls may fancy further consolidation.

Technical indicators further reinforce this.

A look at the charts suggests short-term strength as shown by the MACD indicator.

Buyers are focused on the market’s ability to absorb selling pressure without sharp declines, with a gradual move toward the $0.30–$0.32 range emerging as the next upside objective.

If prices hold above the $0.28 area, a sustained move that turns $0.30 into support could shape the next phase of price action.

Network upgrades, new integrations and broader market conditions are expected to play an important role in determining direction.

In the near term, the 50-day exponential moving average stands as resistance around $0.29.

On the downside, a break below the key support level amid broader market stress could open the door for further losses, with bears potentially targeting the $0.22–$0.20 zone as an initial downside range.

• Midnight token’s price dump in the past 24 hours comes days after hitting an all-time high of $1.81.
• NIGHT token’s dip mirrors top privacy coins, including Zcash, Monero and Dash
• Midnight is a privacy-first blockchain that recently landed on top exchanges.

As the cryptocurrency market experienced renewed volatility on December 23, 2025, Midnight (NGHT) joined several altcoins in plummeting more than 20%.

Meanwhile, the privacy coins sector faced significant downside action as Zcash, Monero and Dash all flipped red.

NIGHT token, native to the Midnight blockchain, dropped sharply amid widespread profit-taking.

Midnight slumps 25% to lead altcoin losers

The Midnight network’s native token, NIGHT, suffered a steep 25% decline in the past 24 hours.

Data on CoinMarketCap ranks it as one of the top losers among the top 100 coins by market cap.

Notably, this sharp correction comes just weeks after the token’s highly anticipated launch.

On December 9, 2025, the token’s price quickly surged to an all-time high of $1.81.

However, its price has since seen a sharp descent, and during Tuesday’s session, NIGHT recorded an intraday low of $0.075.

The downturn has erased a substantial portion of the gains accumulated since the token generation event.

Sell-off was accompanied by $1.58 billion in daily volume, the metric seeing an 81% decrease in 24 hours.

Contributing to the pressure on altcoins is a pullback in Bitcoin.

After rallying to $90k on Monday, BTC retreated to below $87,700.

Stocks also pulled lower, and in crypto, a cascade of liquidations and reduced risk appetite hindered bulls.

Profit-taking on NIGHT may accelerate with further crypto market uncertainty.

NIGHT token mirrors top privacy coins

As noted above, NIGHT’s recent performance has closely tracked declines in established privacy coins.

Privacy-focused cryptocurrencies led declines across the sector, with Zcash, Dash and Monero posting notable losses amid a broader pullback in privacy-themed assets.

Zcash fell nearly 9% over the past 24 hours, while Monero declined about 4% and Dash slipped roughly 3%.

Other privacy-linked tokens, including Decred, Horizen and Tornado Cash, also traded lower during the period.

NIGHT recorded the steepest move, dropping around 25%.

The pullback follows several months of strong outperformance by privacy coins relative to the broader market, with Zcash among the top gainers during that period, supported in part by increased institutional accumulation.

Midnight distinguishes itself as a privacy-first blockchain.

It’s designed to facilitate confidential decentralised applications through advanced features such as selective disclosure and zero-knowledge proofs, all supported by an efficient consensus mechanism.

This architecture aims to balance robust data protection with regulatory compliance.

Cardano’s Midnight project wants to position itself as a next-generation solution for privacy in DeFi, identity management, and enterprise applications.

• BNB price dropped to under $850 as cryptocurrencies solld-off.
• The Binance ecosystem token could dump to $800 or lower if bears strengthen.
• Technical indicators suggest sellers have upper hand in the short term.

BNB faces intensified selling pressure as bulls fail to hold onto gains made in recent sessions, mirroring losses around the broader cryptocurrency market.

As of writing on December 23, 2025, BNB traded around $851, down 1.5% in the past 24 hours as fresh volatility hit risk assets.

While price is off intraday lows of $847, the current outlook suggests bulls risk a revisit of recent key support levels.

BNB price faces fresh bearish pressure

As noted, the BNB price is trading in negative territory

This comes as sellers maintain control following a recent spike to $870, with profit-taking driving the token towards critical support levels.

In the past day, the altcoin has touched $847, and the technical picture signals a potential for further downside if bulls fail to defend this zone.

Market data indicates that BNB has declined more than 11% from its December high of above $920.

Amid the downturn across crypto this past week, the token touched intraday lows of $819.

While buyers then saw a modest rebound to above $870 amid regulatory milestones, the price remains well off its year-to-date peak and all-time high reached in October.

The downturn that has BNB price 38% off the ATH coincides with diminishing activity on the BNB Chain network.

Per blockchain explorer data, daily transactions have fallen nearly 47% from October peaks.

Reduced transaction volumes often reflect lower user and developer engagement, which can erode demand for the native token and contribute to price weakness.

BNB is also signalling market weakness via its derivatives numbers.

Data on Coinglass shows caution has futures open interest for BNB down from over $2.97 billion in October to $1.28 billion as of writing.

Position unwinding and decreased leveraged exposure are key catalysts.

BNB price forecast

From a technical perspective, BNB remains in a downtrend despite a breakout from a trendline on the daily timeframe seen in November.

Recovery also hit a supply wall near the 50-day exponential moving average.

Notably, bulls have defended the support around $825 – a reload from which buyers elevated the token in August to its peak in October.

But bearish signals dominate key indicators on the daily chart.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) highlights fading momentum, while the RSI indicator has flatlined below the neutral mark.

If downside action strengthens, a dip below the support trendline could allow bears to eye $738 and then $647.

On the flipside, a decisive breakout above the $875 threshold could shift sentiment, opening the door to renewed gains towards $1,000.

• Hyperliquid price gained to above $25 as buyers piled into the HYPE token.
• Lookonchain shared details of two whales adding to their Hyperliquid positions.
• Lookonchain noted that the large investors had deposited $5 million in USDC into Hyperliquid to purchase more HYPE tokens.

Bitcoin’s rally toward $90,000 on Monday drew widespread market attention, but Hyperliquid also stood out among assets posting notable gains.

The decentralised perpetuals trading platform’s native token, HYPE, rose nearly 5% as it moved back above the $25 level.

The advance followed a large whale transaction earlier in the session, alongside on-chain data indicating continued accumulation by large holders.

Sentiment was further supported after Hyperliquid shared an update related to HYPE trading activity and transparency on the platform.

HYPE featured among a group of tokens showing strong 24-hour performance, alongside Midnight, Sky, Kaspa and Sei, as broader interest extended beyond Bitcoin’s move.

Hyperliquid whales buy more HYPE, price gains

Recent on-chain data, highlighted by Lookonchain on X, reveals a strategic accumulation by two prominent whale wallets.

On December 22, 2025, Lookonchain noted that the large investors had deposited $5 million in USDC into Hyperliquid to purchase more HYPE tokens.

One of the wallets held 214,497 HYPE, worth over $5.44 million at the time and still boasted $5.52 million, likely ready to pounce.

The other whale held 102,460 HYPE worth $2.61 million and dry powder of $2.45 million meant for future purchases.

Both whales held the money in the USDC stablecoin.

Over the past hour, two more whales deposited $5M USDC into #Hyperliquid to buy $HYPE.

0xDAeF currently holds 214,497 $HYPE($5.44M) and still has 5.52M $USDC ready to buy more.

As noted, the price of HYPE, which had experienced a decline of over 14% over the past seven days as it dropped to $22, swiftly reclaimed the $25 threshold.

The rebound could accelerate amid an altcoin bounce, allowing for a retest of the $30 resistance zone.

Whales might offer a formidable bid wall. A surge in buying pressure shows in the 15% spike in daily trading volume.

Hyperliquid Labs comments on HYPE insider trading

The HYPE price fell sharply in recent weeks, with allegations of insider trading surfacing.

Now, Hyperliquid has officially commented on the concerns.

In its update, the team categorically denies any misconduct from its members.

Per a statement shared on X, Hyperliquid Labs has clarified that a wallet accused of shorting HYPE belonged to a former employee who was terminated in the first quarter of 2024.

Hyperliquid Labs emphasised its stringent ethical standards. It includes a comprehensive trading policy that prohibits derivatives trading involving HYPE by team members and maintains a zero-tolerance stance on insider trading.

Co-founder of Hyperliquid Illiensic posted a similar update on Discord.

While the platform has dismissed the allegations of insider trading as solely the work of an unaffiliated former employee, the co-founder noted two key facts: Employees and the team cannot trade derivatives on the HYPE token or use insider information to trade. The same cannot be passed to third parties.

• Kaspa price changed hands above $0.048 amid a slight uptick.
• The token is set for listing on HTX, formerly Huobi.
• A technical outlook suggests a potential bullish continuation.

Kaspa (KAS) is among top performers in the crypto market on Monday, December 22, 2025, as its price surges over 6% in 24 hours to above $0.048.

The uptick, which comes amid a recent listing announcement by HTX, sees the proof-of-work token trend towards the key $0.05 resistance level.

Bulls are edging higher after bouncing off lows of $0.040 reached on December 18.

Significantly, the KAS token’s gains outpace Bitcoin’s bounce to above $89,000 and Ethereum’s reclaiming of the $3,000 mark.

But can bulls hold on amid broader market fluctuations?

Price gains ahead of HTX listing

Kaspa’s price has jumped nearly 9% from its recent weekly low to hover around $0.048.

This uptick aligns with Bitcoin’s rebound from its lows last week.

However, the latest momentum for KAS can also be largely attributed to the anticipation surrounding its spot trading debut on HTX.

— HTX (@HTX_Global) December 20, 2025

The crypto exchange, formerly known as Huobi, plans to list the altcoin this week.

While not a fresh announcement, this is something that could enhance liquidity and accessibility for traders worldwide.

Kaspa price is up as buyers anticipate that HTX’s vast user base could drive increased trading volume and exposure for KAS.

Over the past week, KAS has risen 8%, outperforming most peers.

Meanwhile, trading volume has surged 109% in the past 24 hours to over $33 million to signal bullish bias after price action shrank as broader market consolidated.

Kaspa’s unique blockDAG technology continues to attract long-term investors, and the upcoming listing on HTX aligns with ecosystem growth and integrations.

KAS price forecast

The price of Kaspa has been in a downtrend since hitting highs near $0.20 in July 2024.

Year-to-date highs are at $0.12, which the bulls reached in May 2025.

At around $0.048, the token’s value is thus well off recent peaks.

Bears may fancy their chances of returning to key levels below current prices.

The good news for bulls is that prices swiftly bounced off lows of $0.009 hit on October 10, 2025, when BTC crashed hard.

From a technical perspective, however, Kaspa exhibits a bullish reversal setup.

A potential breakout from below a downtrend line on the daily chart indicates KAS might explode above $0.05.

If bulls revisit the $0.081 level, $0.10 area could be next. The all-time high of $0.207 could also be reachable in the short term.

The RSI is no longer in overbought territory and is upsloping, a scenario that reduces downside risks.

Meanwhile, the MACD indicator is hinting at a possible bullish crossover.

The Crescendo protocol upgrade and other bullish conditions in Q1 2026 might add to overall gains.

For the long-term, the $0.5 and $1 will be critical targets.
