$XRP "Sell in May" – But this year, no one is leaving

Every year, like clockwork, financial professionals whisper the ancient mantra: "Sell in May and go away." What’s the idea? Pull out early, avoid the summer slump, and come back when things settle down. But this year? May has arrived—and the market has opened like a rocket.

Bitcoin surged past $100,000 like never before in May, ETH broke into dance mode, and altcoins are smashing through resistance levels as if 2021 is happening all over again. Big players are rolling out ETFs, governments are courting cryptocurrency, and retail traders? They are asking each other: "Wait a minute... May isn't so bad, is it?"

An old rule from before Twitter

"Sell in May" originated at the London Stock Exchange and was adopted by Wall Street. Back then, wealthy investors actually left the city for the summer—on horseback, not in a Tesla. With thin liquidity and a sleepy market, selling in May made sense. It was effective… until it wasn’t anymore.
