The cryptocurrency market concluded 2025 on a subdued note, with major assets like Bitcoin and XRP unable to break through key resistance levels. This consolidation phase has left altcoins underperforming, as investors shift capital towards safer assets such as silver. Analysts caution that if market sentiment remains fearful, further declines could occur in 2026, although long-term optimism persists among some market participants. Despite hopes for a rebound, the market currently shows limited signs of a near-term reversal.
