"Crypto Summer: Solana Surges, Ethereum Holds, Dogecoin Whales Accumulate"

As the crypto market enters a new phase, investors are eager to know the price predictions for top altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin. With the crypto summer approaching, where do these coins stand, and what are the industry experts' sentiments for the first quarter?

Solana (SOL) has been showing strong signals for an explosive move. Its total transaction count was 87 times higher than Ethereum's last week, and Pump.fun's surge in revenue has outpaced top altcoins like Ethereum in the past 30 days. These developments highlight Solana's growing dominance in DeFi and meme trading. Currently, SOL price is around $197.21, with an 18.47% weekly decline. However, investors remain optimistic about Solana's price prediction in Q1, despite recent bearish pressure.

Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $2,724, down 2.08%. ETH has key support at $2,755, which may see the asset slide further to $2,700 if buyers fail to appear. A close near $2,600 with failure to hold support could see Ethereum decline to $2,420 and $2,350. Despite this bearish movement, analysts remain optimistic about Ethereum's price trajectory, believing ETH could quickly rebound due to growing bullish catalysts and potentially stabilize around $3,150 by late February.

Dogecoin (DOGE) investors faced a rough start to the week as DOGE slipped below $0.30, triggering concerns among holders. Despite multiple attempts to reclaim this level, DOGE remains under pressure, currently trading at $0.25 after a 4.45% daily drop and a 23.19% weekly decline. Even with this bearish pressure, DOGE whales remain active, recently accumulating 750 million DOGE while prices dipped. Analysts suggest big players aren't backing down despite market struggles, and with renewed optimism, DOGE could be primed to lead the meme coin rally in Q1.

Last month, XRP crossed the $3 threshold for the first time in seven years. Market experts traced this breakout to the aggressive accumulation of XRP tokens the preceding month, suggesting the upside
