The cryptocurrency market is showing a bearish sentiment today, with almost all the top ten cryptos in the red zone. The market cap has decreased by 1.87% to $3.58 trillion. The 24-hour volume has dropped 9.71% to $199.14 billion. The fear and greed index is at 78%.

1. XRP

XRP is currently trading at around $2.32, showing a 249.49% increase in the past month. The coin has slightly decreased by 3.26% in the last 24 hours. Its trading volume has tumbled by 28.13% in the past 24 hours to $9.09 billion. XRP is experiencing a slight correction before its expected rise to $3 by year-end.

According to an analysis by Dark Defender, a well-known crypto analyst, XRP is on the verge of reaching an all-time high (ATH). He predicts that if XRP breaks through the $2.52 resistance level, it could move to $5.85 in the near term and to $18.22 in the long term.

Hi there. #XRP has almost finalised the ABC Corrective Wave pattern in the daily time frame!

It will be confirmed if XRP breaks $2.52.

I expect XRP to break here within 24 hours.

Road to $5.85 first & then $18.22.

Additionally, Ripple’s approval to launch the RLUSD stablecoin is expected to boost XRP’s price. The NYDFS approved Ripple’s issue of the stablecoin, which will drive demand for XRP. 

2. Chainlink (LINK)

LINK is currently trading at $28.75, reflecting a 2.9% increase in the past 24 hours. The trading volume has increased by 25.90% to $3.4 billion. LINK has gained over 100% in the past year and reached its yearly high of $30.76 today.

The price rally is primarily driven by increasing demand for decentralized oracles and smart contract solutions. LINK is facing the $29 level resistance and a breakout could lead to a surge by year-end.

Open interest in Chainlink has surged as well. According to Glassnode, LINK’s open interest has surged to an all-time high of $770.27 million. This demonstrates growing institutional participation and a bullish market sentiment.

The move comes after WLFI announced a partnership with Chainlink on Nov. 14. The partnership is aimed at enhancing the security and interoperability of its DeFi protocol. The continued use of Chainlink for blockchain smart contracts is expected to increase the usability of the LINK coin.

3. Sui (SUI)

SUI is currently trading at around $4.69, with a 0.50% drop in the past day. Its trading volume has decreased by 45.69% to $2.13 billion. Despite this, the coin recently hit its all-time high (ATH) signaling strong market interest.

SUI has also seen significant growth in its total value locked (TVL). As of press time, its TVL stands at $1.778 billion. The growth in TVL is driven by its decentralized finance protocols. Higher TVL and trading volumes demonstrate increasing trust in the network.

Despite the downturn in the market today, these three coins are set to soar before the year ends hence they offer the perfect investment choices today.
