At this very moment, the rebound prospects are as likely as finding a golden ticket in a Wonka Bar – slim to none. While the market mavens whisper of a reversal, the charts tell a different tale, as gloomy as a visit to the Twits’ garden. No technical wizardry has yet appeared to save the day.

$12.8 billion in total crypto + “moonshots”:
Last year, the crypto market swung harder than a drunken acrobat on a unicycle, and Metaplanet’s balance sheet got a good shake. But hold your horses! This is just on paper stuff-no cash went flying out the door. They’re not crying into their Bitcoin pillows just yet. Nope, they’re still front and center, swinging for the fences with their eyes on the prize of higher revenue in 2026. Because nothing says “solid financial planning” like gambling in a casino where the dealer is blindfolded.

Word comes from Matcha Meta that a breach slipped through the door of its SwapNet tie-in. The mischief-makers hauled off roughly $16.8 million in assets after sniffing out a weakness in the platform’s smart contracts, a flaw as plain as a jaybird on a wire.

Behold, a bullish RSI divergence, that most elusive of technical sirens, is said to be forming. This, we are assured, signals a waning of the dreaded downside momentum, as though the market itself has grown weary of its own histrionics. A relief bounce, they say, is nigh-a brief respite from the relentless drama of the charts.

Head‑and‑Shoulders Threat
It seems Hedera’s HBAR has decided that the ground looks much nicer from below and has chosen to frolic in the lower ranks of cryptocurrency. Once a proud member of the top tier, it now finds itself making friends with the likes of lesser-known coins.
Meanwhile, the grand amphitheatre of cryptocurrency-the market cap-continues its melodious decline, slipping beneath the hallowed $3 trillion threshold. Bitcoin, that stubborn old performer, drifts under $88,000, while Ethereum succumbs to the same melancholy mood, dipping below $2,900. Over the last seven days, both have flirted with losses that would make a penny feel opulent.

To many nations, especially the US and South Korea, XRP has been a jolly digital coin for payments and trading, bobbing up and down like a pogo stick on payday. But Japan is stirring a different pot, aiming to move beyond the whiz-bang of speculation and into a tidy reclassification, slipping XRP into the country’s grand financial orchestra.
