With expectations building around a potential 2026 crypto bull market as Fed policies are anticipated to inject trillions of dollars in liquidity into the financial system, the days leading up to Christmas present a good buying window for crypto heading into the new year.
Analysts from 10X Research observed that year-end liquidity is evaporating across crypto markets, with futures positioning, ETF flows, and options markets indicating that traders are de-risking going into 2026.
In current market conditions, major altcoins like XRP, SOL, and ETH are standing out as some of the best crypto to buy now.
Ripple’s XRP has proven itself as a major crypto asset since its 2012 launch.
As one of the OG crypto coins, XRP has withstood a decade of stress-testing and maintains a market cap above $115 billion as the 5th largest crypto asset.
Over the past 15 months, XRP has been a standout performer, rising from a $0.49 low last October to a $3.66 high in July before settling around $1.92 at press time.
The XRP/USDT weekly chart shows the RSI at 38.32, approaching oversold territory, making XRP one of the best crypto to buy before it reclaims its 9-week SMA at $2.13.

Solana(SOL) is a high-performance blockchain platform designed for fast, low-cost transactions and decentralized applications.
Its native token, SOL, launched in March 2020 by Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal, has rallied over 500X from $0.50 to over $250.
However, volatility has seen SOL drop over 50% from its highs, making it attractive at the current $125 price level.

SOL is now trading at 3.5X lower than Ethereum’s market cap despite Q2 2025 revenue of $271 million, which outpaces that of Ethereum.
Analysts view the current support as a buy zone for potential rallies to $150-$160 short-term and $200-$300 longer-term.
Ethereum(ETH) is a decentralized blockchain platform enabling smart contracts and dApps, with its native ETH token standing as the second-largest crypto by market cap, worth over $365 billion.
Since launching in July 2015 after being conceived by Vitalik Buterin in 2013, ETH has surged over 5,000X from $0.40 to a recent high near $5,000.
Analysts say ETH is presenting another buying opportunity, currently down 38.64% from its 2025 highs.
The recent recovery above $3,000 is positive, and if this level holds, technical analysis shows the next resistance levels stand between $3,600-$4,000 and $4,400-$4,80,0, respectively.
Provided ETH doesn’t fall below the long-term $2,400 weekly support, 2026 could see prices rally above $4,000 and set new all-time highs.
