Crypto Trends December 8 – 14, 2025: Market Analysis and Performance
After several weeks of ups and downs, the crypto market is experiencing a transient period of stabilization. The latest correction has most cryptocurrencies hovering around the identical levels as they were over per week ago. This stagnation is disappointing after the US Federal Reserve's renewed rate of interest cut. Meanwhile, the market cap stays above the $3 trillion threshold and is little modified in comparison with last week.
After the excellent news in regards to the US Federal Reserve's decision, Bitcoin tried to climb above $95,000. However, the bears quickly pushed back on the king of cryptocurrencies. The Bulls attempted to regroup for a second attack, but their momentum was short-lived. This time, a wave of liquidations pushed BTC back below $90,000.
Ethereum rose barely and traded above $3,000. However, a 3% increase won’t help consolidate its position above psychologically frightening levels. On the opposite hand, the second-largest cryptocurrency requires a robust push to remain above $3,000 for the remainder of the yr.
Altcoins and DeFi
Most altcoins are trading within the red, although there are notable exceptions. For example, XRP is down 2%, Solana is up 1%, Cardano is down 5%, Avalanche is down 1%, Sui is up 1%, Chainlink is down 1%, and TRON is down 3%. On the opposite hand, Zcash is up 23%.
There were also some interesting developments with memecoins. For example, Dogecoin is down 2%, Shiba Inu is down 3%, and Pepecoin is down 4%.
The Metaverse sector has also seen notable moves over the past week. For example, Axie Infinity is down 5%, The Sandbox is down 8%, and Floki is down 2%. Meanwhile, Decentraland is down 5%, Render is down 4% and ApeCoin is down 1%. Stacks decreased by 3% and Virtuals decreased by 6%. Meanwhile, MultiversX fell 9%.
The DeFi sector increased the full value of protocols (TVL) by almost $1 billion, amounting to roughly $121.28 billion.

Crypto market forecast for next week
The crypto market is attempting to hold itself together in the ultimate weeks of 2025. While investors keep their wallets closed, traders refrain from massive liquidations. If this trend continues, the market cap should remain above $3 trillion and Bitcoin should trade at around $90,000 by early 2026.
