🚀 Bitcoin Bulls Back in Control – $113K in Sight?
The market’s heating up 🔥
Crypto’s global market cap is now $3.44T (+1.23%), backed by strong Greed sentiment (Fear & Greed Index at 69) and $102B in daily volume. BTC dominance is rising fast → now at 63.3%, showing who’s driving this bull wagon 🐂
📈 $BTC sits at $109.5K, up 6.5% in 7D, eyeing the $113K liquidity zone next – just 6% away. Big money is moving. Spot ETFs are acting like rocket fuel 🚀 – Ecoinometrics shows BTC price is mirroring ETF flows almost 1:1 now.
💥 The real kicker? A new Golden Cross just flashed – the third one in 2 years, and it has a crazy 87.8% accuracy on high timeframes.
Past results:
🔹 Oct '23: $27K → $73K (+170%)
🔹 Oct '24: $63K → $109K (+73%)
🔹 Now: May '25 – $110K 👀
If history repeats, we’re looking at steady 3.5%–8.5% weekly gains over the next 3–5 months. That puts $117K–$120K within reach. 📊
Buckle up fam. The next move could be louder than expected 🎯

Hedera’s $HBAR is flexing real strength — holding above key support at $0.18–$0.197. Buyers clearly showed up here, and now the market’s eyeing the next resistance at $0.206–$0.223. 👀
📈 Recently, HBAR broke out of a falling channel — no retest yet, but historically, this asset doesn’t always wait. When momentum hits, it moves fast. 🏃💨
Now, here’s the spicy bit:
🧠 The 5-day MACD just flashed a bullish cross — the same signal that preceded a 686% rally last time. 📊 Could history rhyme?
If we clear $0.223 with volume, it could open the door to a strong breakout. Support at $0.185 is holding, giving this move real legs. 🦵🔥
But it’s not just price action...
Hedera’s AI push is a wild card. 🤖 HashPack just demoed wallet-integrated AI — automated TA reports, token management, on-chain actions, all powered by smart tooling. This is next-level UX. 🚀
HBAR is aligning fundamentals, technicals, and narrative all at once. Keep it on your radar. 📡

$SUI just smashed a major on-chain milestone with TVL hitting $2.2B – that’s a 222% YoY growth 🤯. DeFi on SUI is no joke anymore. Money’s flowing in, and the market is taking notice.
📈 Price? $4.08 and climbing (+6.2% 24h).
📊 Derivatives? Open Interest up 31.3% to $1.76B.
💸 Funding rate flipped positive – bulls are paying to hold long.
We're also seeing a textbook cup-and-handle pattern forming near $4.18 – a breakout above could trigger the next leg up. But without volume confirmation, caution is key. 🤏
Shorts just got squeezed for $1.64M, while longs barely flinched. Market’s clearly leaning bullish, and momentum indicators (MACD crossover + RSI at 67) back it up. 🐂
My take? If $4.18 flips to support, we might be heading straight into price discovery. 🚀
SUI Army, you watching this unfold? 👀
🧠 Stay sharp, ride the wave, but respect the volatility.

🚨 Bitcoin Hits $111K – And the U.S. Is Flexing Hard 🇺🇸💥
$BTC just smashed past $111,980, and this time, it’s not retail FOMO or whales in Asia leading the charge... it’s U.S. institutional power making serious moves.
🔍 Fresh data from CryptoQuant shows that U.S.-based entities now hold more BTC than the rest of the world combined. We're talking banks, funds, exchanges — Wall Street is in. This triggered a "golden cross" on the U.S. vs. Global Reserve chart — a bullish signal we’ve seen before big runs. 📈
👀 Big names like MicroStrategy, Tesla & Semler Scientific are stacking. Add to that Trump's pro-crypto stance & new Senate talks on stablecoin laws, and it’s clear: America wants to be the crypto capital of the world.
🇺🇸 U.S. holdings: 207,189 BTC (~$22.99B)
🇨🇳 China (still lurking): 194,000 BTC (~$21.53B)
But don’t get too comfy... 🧠 The last “death cross” on this chart preceded sharp drops. We’re bullish now, but remember — markets move in cycles. Stay smart, stay sharp.
The U.S.-China BTC race is real. Who wins? Time (and hashpower) will tell.

$XRP is holding the line—but can it break through? 🧠🚀
Despite the broader market correction, XRP is showing signs of bullish structure above the key $2.25 support. It's bouncing off the 0.382 Fib level, reclaiming territory with some strength. But let’s be real: until we break above that $2.69 resistance, the bulls are still on probation. 📉📈
🧩 CasiTrades calls this a classic Wave 4 consolidation—structure building mode. It’s like the calm before the storm. Breakout or breakdown? The chart’s got potential either way.
What I’m watching:
🔹 Support: $2.25 (crucial hold)
🔹 Resistance: $2.375 (short-term)
🔺 Major Resistance: $2.69 (the wall to break)
⚠️ Risk Zone: Drop toward $1.50 if $2.25 fails
Short-term bounce? ✅
Confirmed bullish reversal? ❌ not yet.
Until $2.69 is flipped, every rally might be a bull trap. But if we break above with volume, we could be looking at a clean move to new local highs.
Stay sharp out there. The market rewards patience and precision—not hopium. 🎯

Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into the mechanics behind liquidity on crypto exchanges — and unsurprisingly, market makers and high-frequency trading (HFT) firms are the ones quietly shaping most of what we see on the order books. 📊
Let’s break it down.
Market makers aren’t just “big players” — they’re the ones constantly placing buy/sell orders to keep the markets liquid. Without them, you’d be stuck trying to sell your tokens in a desert. 🏜️
But here's where it gets interesting: in crypto, HFT isn’t just fast, it’s ruthless. These bots operate in milliseconds, exploiting price discrepancies and front-running slower players. Some call it toxic flow, others — alpha.
🔥 What’s even more wild is how centralized exchanges (CEXs) are competing to onboard elite market makers with incentive programs: fee rebates, API priority access, and volume-based rewards. Binance, WhiteBIT, Bybit — all of them have MM programs running quietly in the background, shaping price action more than any retail trader ever could. It’s a smart move because better liquidity means tighter spreads and more reliable pricing for everyone—from whales to retail traders. 💡
But a word of caution: while these programs help stabilize markets, the dominance of HFT can sometimes mask true price discovery. So always combine technical analysis with an understanding of market microstructure to avoid surprises.
In a nutshell—knowing who’s behind the orders and how liquidity is managed can give you an edge in this fast-evolving landscape.
Stay sharp, stay liquid. 💧

🚨 Bitcoin Hits $111K+ on Pizza Day?! 🍕🚀
This is not a drill. $BTC just printed a new ALL-TIME HIGH — $111,861.22 🔥
And the timing? Iconic. Today marks 15 years since Laszlo Hanyecz traded 10,000 BTC for 2 pizzas. That $41 meal would cost $1.1B today — the most expensive snack in history. 🤯
From buying pizza to flipping the global financial game — Bitcoin has come a LONG way.
📈 Technical signals confirm this rally isn’t hype:
• MACD bullish ✅
• RSI above 77 — overbought, but strong runs hold that range 💪
• BTC trading above 50- & 200-day EMAs = clear uptrend
• Support now at $110K, eyes on $120K+
With April’s halving reducing supply and institutional demand growing via ETFs, we’re entering a new phase. Next stop? 🚀 $150K isn’t a meme anymore.
This bull run is telling a story — and you’re living it. Stay sharp. Stay humble. Stack responsibly. 🧠💼

After 4 years of legal limbo, $XRP is finally getting its institutional moment. On May 19, CME Group launched XRP Futures ETFs, pulling in $6M+ in trading volume on day one. That’s not just big — that’s ETH ETF-beating big. 🔥
📊 What’s wild?
- XRP Futures already outperformed Ethereum ETFs.
- Open Interest has spiked to $4.69B
- Price hit $2.33, with strong momentum.
The kicker? This isn’t just whales. 📉
- 106 micro contracts (2.5k XRP each) traded = active participation from smaller players too.
- Standard contracts (50k XRP) = Big boys are here. 🐋
Despite SEC delays on spot ETFs (XRP + SOL), the narrative is shifting. Nate Geraci (ETF Store prez) says spot XRP ETFs are inevitable. Polymarket agrees: 83% odds on approval.
If this pace holds, XRP could even start nibbling at BTC ETF volumes (👑 still far, but not impossible).
📅 Mark June 17 — that’s when Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF app gets its moment.
Bullish or just hype? Either way, XRP is no longer in the shadows.

$LINK is building like never before 🛠️—its dev activity is 50% higher than even Ethereum's over the past 30 days, according to Santiment 👀. That’s no small feat.
But here’s the twist👇
Despite all this builder energy, we’re seeing some serious profit-taking on-chain. Dormant wallets suddenly moved a lot of LINK on April 25th, just as price approached the $15.5 resistance zone (again). That’s not bullish behavior—that’s exit behavior. 🏃♂️💸
📉 Mean Coin Age dropped hard—twice. First in March, then in April. And every time LINK got close to $16.5, sellers showed up like clockwork.
Now, 76% of holders are in profit. Historically, when this number hit 56%–65%, we saw selloffs. So ask yourself: What happens when it’s 76%?
Yes, devs are shipping. Yes, bulls are trying to flip $15.5 into support. But market conviction? Still shaky. 🤔
Until we see stronger hands holding through resistance—not selling into it—price may struggle to break out for real.
🔍 Watch $15.5–$16.5
📈 Devs bullish
💰 Traders cautious
🧠 Smart money waits for conviction

🚨 $BTC to $600K by October?
What we’re seeing isn’t just a bull run—it might be the start of something historic. 📈
Bitcoin just smashed through the $105K resistance and is now flirting with $107K 👀 But this could just be the warm-up...
🧠 Wall Street vet Fred Krueger is calling a massive BTC rally in the next 90 days, possibly hitting:
📍 $165K by late July
📍 $265K by mid-August
📍 $390K in early Sept
📍 $600K by October ‼️
What’s fueling this?
💣 Macro risks: $200B Treasury auction, Fed rate panic, yield curve control
🌍 BRICS may drop a gold-BTC payment system by July 25
🌐 Countries like Venezuela & Nigeria eye BTC reserves
📊 Big Tech adding BTC to balance sheets
💥 IMF and even the U.S. dollar getting BTC backing
Add in some FOMO, and even gold’s looking dusty 🪙➡️🔥
But let’s stay sharp. Ali Martinez says we haven’t had the breakout yet. BTC is in an ascending triangle 🧠—higher lows, flat top. A breakout above $107K could trigger the rocket.
Hold tight. Things could escalate quickly.

Inside the Listing Game: How Tokens Win a Spot on Leading Exchanges
The crypto industry sees new projects and tokens emerge almost daily, each seeking to attract the attention of investors, expand their audience, and increase the liquidity of their tokens. And while creating a token is only one aspect, the real challenge is listing it on a crypto exchange. Behind the facade of this procedure, there are a number of processes, requirements and criteria that you need to be aware of. So, how do cryptocurrencies get listed on the leading exchanges, and what do startups need to know to not only get listed but also ensure the further development of the project?
Types of Token Listings: Classification by Key Criteria
Listing is the process of adding a token to a cryptocurrency exchange or trading platform, after which users can freely buy, sell, and exchange it. The process involves several stages: application by the project, evaluation of the token by the exchange, verification of documentation, ensuring compliance with the platform’s requirements, and technical integration to the exchange. After a successful listing, the token becomes available for trading, which is accompanied by announcements in the exchange’s channels and helps to increase the liquidity of tokens and their recognition among investors.
Tokens can be listed on crypto exchanges based on different criteria. The main types of listing include the following:
By process type:
Public — a token becomes available for trading on the exchange after passing a standard check: providing detailed documentation from the project and passing an evaluation.Private (preliminary) — a token is available to a limited number of users (usually before the official launch on the exchange) and may include special offers or tokens for early investors.
By level of complexity:
Standard — the token goes through all the mandatory stages of verification and approval on the exchange, including audit, team evaluation, and technological verification.Simplified — in some cases, exchanges may offer simplified conditions for tokens that already have a good reputation or partnership with well-known projects.
By type of exchange:
Listing on a centralised exchange.Listing on a decentralised exchange.
By time:
Primary — the process takes place immediately after the creation of the token and the completion of the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) or IEO (Initial Exchange Offering), which allows the project to quickly enter the market and raise funding.Secondary — the token is added to a new exchange after the initial launch on another platform, which helps to increase its liquidity and popularity.
Behind the Listing: How Exchanges Choose Which Tokens to Add
When it comes to listing a coin, cryptocurrency exchanges are very cautious. They do not accept every project that applies, as it is a thorough selection process that takes into account many factors. The main focus is on the technological basis of the token, the quality and experience of the team, the potential of the coin, and regulatory compliance. For crypto platforms, it is important not only to add a new coin to the asset list, but also to ensure that it is safe, reliable for traders and compliant with standards.
Legal compliance. Exchanges carefully check whether a cryptocurrency complies with the laws of the countries they are targeting. If a token does not meet the requirements, it may be rejected.Project potential and team. Technology, business model, and transparency of processes are also things that exchanges pay attention to. An experienced team, active communication with the community, and a clear project goal significantly increase the chances of listing.Popularity and demand in the market. If active interest is generated around a token — the project is discussed in communities and trusted by investors — it becomes a strong argument for the exchange to pay attention to it.Technical base. Exchanges thoroughly check the technical aspects of tokens, including security, scalability, and the overall technological base. It is important that the project has well-developed technical documentation, including a description of the algorithms, network architecture, and consensus system.Liquidity and trading volume. If the token already has a trading volume on other platforms or is potentially capable of generating demand, it is an additional advantage.Social activity. Activity on social media, Telegram channels, and forums can not only indicate the popularity of a token but also affect the reputation of a project.
The application approval process is not fast, as it involves a significant verification process for all of these aspects. Moreover, the quick approval of a token listing application often means that the exchange does not conduct an in-depth review of the project’s details, such as assessing its volatility or verifying the team.
As an example, we can mention the recent update from Binance — the ‘Vote to List’ feature. It actually changes the traditional approach to the selection of new tokens, turning the process into a competition for popularity. The focus is now on community engagement and support, which can directly influence the platform’s decisions. At the same time, despite the fact that the Binance team still conducts an additional audit of the projects that received the most votes, this model still has its risks. After all, projects of dubious quality may receive support simply because of a good marketing campaign or a large fan base, rather than real value or reliability.
In contrast, some crypto exchanges, such as Coinbase, WhiteBIT or Kraken, adhere to stricter standards. Their KYB (Know Your Business) procedure is much more complex, but this is what shows that they are serious about compliance and vetting projects before listing.
Five Essentials to Help Your Token Make It to the Exchange
So, if you have decided to create your own crypto project and plan to place your token on a cryptocurrency exchange, you should be well-prepared for this process. There are several aspects that will help increase your chances of success.
Project and team transparency. Disclose information about your team, their background, project development roadmap, etc. Clear and accessible information inspires trust among both crypto exchanges and investors.Active crypto community. Build a strong and engaged community around your token. Regularly share updates, comment on industry news, and communicate with your community. Social media activity around the coin is a signal that the project is alive and has strong support.Legal compliance. Make sure that your project meets all regulatory requirements and does not cause any problems for regulators.Choosing the right exchange. When choosing a listing platform, consider not only its popularity but also its reputation, trading volumes, and project requirements. Sometimes it is better to start with a medium-sized exchange with more flexible conditions than to try unsuccessfully to break through to a top platform.Attracting investors. Actively work on attracting investments, which will not only increase the financial stability of the project but also add weight to it in the eyes of the exchange.

After all, projects of dubious quality may receive support simply because of a good marketing campaign or a large fan base, rather than real value or reliability.
In contrast, some crypto exchanges, such as Coinbase, WhiteBIT or Kraken, adhere to stricter standards. Their KYB (Know Your Business) procedure is much more complex, but this is what shows that they are serious about compliance and vetting projects before listing.
Five Essentials to Help Your Token Make It to the Exchange
So, if you have decided to create your own crypto project and plan to place your token on a cryptocurrency exchange, you should be well-prepared for this process. There are several aspects that will help increase your chances of success.
Project and team transparency. Disclose information about your team, their background, project development roadmap, etc. Clear and accessible information inspires trust among both crypto exchanges and investors.Active crypto community. Build a strong and engaged community around your token. Regularly share updates, comment on industry news, and communicate with your community. Social media activity around the coin is a signal that the project is alive and has strong support.Legal compliance. Make sure that your project meets all regulatory requirements and does not cause any problems for regulators.Choosing the right exchange. When choosing a listing platform, consider not only its popularity but also its reputation, trading volumes, and project requirements. Sometimes it is better to start with a medium-sized exchange with more flexible conditions than to try unsuccessfully to break through to a top platform.Attracting investors. Actively work on attracting investments, which will not only increase the financial stability of the project but also add weight to it in the eyes of the exchange.

$BTC
Bitcoin just printed a new weekly high at $107,106, jumping +3.19% in 24h. 🚀
What’s fueling this push? Record-breaking short liquidations on Binance — over $66.3M in shorts wiped out as price surged from $103K to $105.5K. That’s a massive signal of momentum + potential fresh capital inflows. 💸
👀 Meanwhile, TradFi is waking up.
10 Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net inflows of 2,103 BTC (~$210M).
BlackRock alone added 1,250 BTC — they now hold over 633K BTC. Institutions aren’t just watching — they’re buying. 📈
🧠 But it’s not all green lights.
Binary CDD (Coin Days Destroyed) = 1️⃣ → Suggests holders are moving coins, possibly to take profits.
Also, RSI shows $BTC might be in overbought territory.
Translation: Some short-term cooling is likely before another leg up. 🔄
🎯 TLDR:
Strong bullish momentum ✅
Institutional inflows ✅
But watch for a local pullback as smart money locks in gains. A healthy dip could be the re-entry zone. 🎯

🚨 Big moves for $XRP on the institutional front — CME just listed XRP futures! 🧠📈 This is not just another listing. It’s a signal that Wall Street is warming up to XRP in a real, regulated way. Futures = confidence. And confidence brings capital.
💥 Nate Geraci (ETF Store) sees this as a legit setup for a spot XRP ETF. And with the Franklin XRP Fund decision due June 17, the pressure is on the SEC. Remember that 2023 court ruling? If there's an active CME futures market (✅), denying a spot ETF starts looking shaky. 👀
🔒 The contracts are CFTC-approved and cash-settled — meaning institutions can play without holding XRP directly. Less friction, more inflows.
🗣 Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse called this a "huge milestone” — and with Hidden Road executing the first trade, we’re watching the early innings of what could be a massive wave 🌊 of institutional demand.
📉 Price action? XRP is flat today (-0.77%) but with trading volume spiking +63% — someone’s definitely loading up.
🚀 TLDR: Futures are here. ETF could be next. The setup looks strong. Market may be sleeping now... but don't be the one waking up after the breakout.

🚨 Cardano Heating Up Again? 🚨
After a -10% dip last week, $ADA is showing quiet strength — consolidating nicely above the key $0.74 level. 📉➡️📈 According to analyst @Ali_Charts, this support lies at the bottom of an upward channel that’s been in play since mid-April.
👀 If ADA holds this range, we could see a push to $0.88 or even challenge the $1 mark soon. Yep, $1 ADA is back on the radar. 📊
But here’s what’s really catching eyes:
🐋 Whales are loading up — over 80M ADA scooped up in just 48 hours (Santiment data). When big wallets move, they usually know something... 👀
Adding fuel to the fire:
🤝 Potential DeFi collab between Cardano & Litecoin. Charles Hoskinson hinted at it, possibly via the privacy-focused Midnight project. A rare cross-chain move between two OGs? That’s bullish.
🪙 And don’t ignore the ETF noise — odds of a spot $ADA ETF jumped from 45% to 64% in one day (Polymarket). TradFi is watching.
TL;DR — ADA’s consolidating with strong fundamentals, growing whale interest, and bullish narratives. Don’t sleep on this move. 🌙

👀 Something familiar is brewing in the BTC derivatives market…
The 30-day Open Interest Delta just hit levels we haven’t seen since BTC rocketed past $73K back in 2024. 📈 That rally started with this same kind of signal.
📊 According to Alphractal, we might be stepping into Phase 1 of the Open Interest cycle — a zone of rapid position accumulation, marked by rising leverage and growing market confidence.
If history rhymes, this is often the build-up before the breakout. 💥
🔍 Zooming out, the 180-day Delta is hovering just above zero. Historically, when it flips red, we see pain (liquidations)… followed by quiet accumulation from the big players.
And guess what? Whales are showing up — again. 🐋 But this time, they’re quieter, more strategic. No sharp OI spikes like we saw in 2023 or early 2024. Just slow, methodical movements.
⚠️ Don’t chase noise. Watch the rhythm.
The leverage cycle is warming up. Smart money is preparing. Are you?

The CME just launched $XRP Futures, marking a serious shift toward institutional adoption. Futures = a key step before spot ETFs. Think of it like BTC in 2021 — this could be XRP’s moment. 👀
🟢 Polymarket odds of XRP ETF approval in 2024 jumped to 83%
🟢 Bloomberg analysts are even more bullish — 85%
🟢 CME listing brings regulated exposure = green light for Wall Street
While some argue futures don’t affect spot prices directly (no physical XRP is held), don’t overlook what’s brewing:
👉 More liquidity
👉 Easier institutional access
👉 A solid case for a spot ETF
💸 The Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP) just added $30M last week — even with XRP’s price dipping. It’s now at $106M AUM. That’s more than SOLT. Institutions are watching.
👔 JP Morgan predicts XRP & SOL ETFs could pull $15B in year one — with XRP leading.
Next up:
🔜 SEC ruling on Franklin Templeton’s ETF in June (maybe delayed to Oct batch)
📆 Tuttle Capital launching their XRP ETF this week (May 21)
If this momentum keeps building, we might be witnessing the early stages of an XRP breakout. Stay sharp. 🧠

🚨 Ethereum Network Hits New ATH in Activity! 🚨
Last week, $ETH recorded 15.4M active addresses, marking a 62.68% spike — a clear sign of growing mainnet + L2 adoption.💥 Layer 2 dominance is now at an all-time high of 6.65x, and even with a slight dip in multi-chain usage (832k addresses), the ecosystem’s expansion is 🔥.
This growth isn’t just noise — it reflects real momentum in RWAs, NFTs, DeFi, and staking sectors. With dev interest rising and ETH upgrades ahead, institutional and retail capital could soon follow. 🧠📈
🌐 Meanwhile, the Base chain is showing beast mode:
🔹 $4B volume settled (up 80%!)
🔹 Top movers:
BRETT +70% 🚀
WELL +51.46%
MORPHO +25%
AERO +11.91%
Other L2s also stayed strong:
OP +11.34%
ARB +10.33%
MNT +7.02%
STRK +9.36%
But not all is green – Immutable slipped -4.72%, reminding us: L2 strength ≠ universal gains.
👀 All eyes now on how sustained demand + liquidity will shape the next wave of ETH's evolution — especially as we await what Vitalik’s RISC-V vision means for the future.

🐸 Whales are circling PEPE — and they’re not playing around 👀
While $PEPE struggles to break out of its current range, whales are making some serious moves behind the scenes.
🔹 In just 24 hours, a whale with $147M in assets withdrew 1.5T PEPE ($13.3M) from exchanges.
🔹 Total whale buys hit 9T PEPE, nearly 3x more than the previous day.
That’s 6 straight days of positive Large Holder Netflows — a key on-chain signal 📈
Translation? Big money is accumulating quietly, betting on a breakout.
Meanwhile, Spot Netflow remains negative (-$218K) — tokens flowing out of exchanges.
This = buying pressure from retail too. 🧠 Smart money + retail alignment = something’s brewing.
📊 But price? Still stuck between $0.0000085–$0.0000092.
No breakout yet, but the chart is getting tight.
Break above $0.0000092 → $0.0000098 next.
Break below → retest $0.0000084.
Bottom line: Whales are loading up before the next move. Stay sharp. 🐋🔥

BTC just pulled back after testing ~$94,919 — and now all eyes are on the key $95K resistance. A breakout here could light up the altcoin scene 🔥
🔻 $XRP , $ADA , $DOGE are down over 2% today, but don’t sleep on XRP. It’s holding a long-term bullish structure 📈 While the short-term looks shaky (support: $2.16–$2.26, invalidation: $2.11), analyst @EGRAGcrypto sees a “mega monthly candle close” coming. His target? $27 — with a wild upside case to $55. 🚀
But here’s the big question: Will May be bullish or bearish?
“Sell in May and go away” is the classic line — but Bitcoin says “maybe not.” 🤷♂️
📊 In the last 15 years, BTC closed May green 9 times (that’s 67%) with a 12-year avg return of +7.9% (source: Coinglass). 📅
So don’t fade May too early. If BTC breaks $95K, it could be game on for the whole market.
Eyes open. Charts loaded. Stay sharp. ⚡️

$XRP is gaining momentum after breaking through a crucial Fibonacci resistance earlier this week, fueled by positive market sentiment surrounding crypto-based ETFs. While the rally’s structure remains complex, analysts are closely watching key price levels to gauge the sustainability of this bullish trend.
📈 Short-Term Outlook:
XRP continues to form higher highs and higher lows—classic signs of upward momentum. The price is following a diagonal wave pattern, which indicates bullish behavior, though not as powerful as a strong impulsive trend. The recent swing low at $2.11–$2.12 (April 24) is critical support. As long as XRP holds above this range, the bullish scenario remains intact. A drop below would require reevaluation.
📊 Next Targets:
The $2.46–$2.55 range is the next upside target, aligning with the 138% Fibonacci extension level—an important milestone in wave-based analysis. A breakthrough here would complete a larger third wave in the ongoing five-wave pattern.
🔮 Long-Term Outlook:
Despite XRP trading within a long-term descending channel, there's a growing sense that the bearish trend might be losing steam. If the RSI breaks its previous high and price surpasses $2.50, this could signal a trend reversal, pushing XRP into a more defined bullish phase.
