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 (XRP): Price Approaches Oversold Territory After 50% Correction
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): 3.5X Cheaper Than Ethereum Despite More Revenue
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): Analyst Eyes $4,000 Recovery In 2026
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.
