Donald Trump is threatening MASS FIRINGS if Congress doesn’t approve a budget by Sept. 30, 11:59 PM, which would trigger a partial government shutdown. The U.S. has faced 87 days of shutdowns historically (35 days during Trump’s first term), so this situation isn’t unprecedented — but Trump’s second term has been marked by unpredictable orders often overturned by courts, so outcomes are unclear. Democrats pushed back: Schumer called it an intimidation tactic that will likely be overturned; Bobby Kogan said it would needlessly cripple government expertise and amounts to extortion; Hakeem Jeffries said they won’t be intimidated. #TrumpInPump
A crypto market observer, Steph Is Crypto, recently shared an outlook for XRP/USDT on the 3-day chart, mentioning an expected “bull flag target zone.”
📊 Chart Overview The chart showed a strong upward rally (flagpole) followed by a descending parallel channel (flag). This classic continuation pattern was highlighted with several Fibonacci extension points indicating potential price levels if XRP breaks upward.
Key Technical Price Levels
1.618 Fib → around $3.59
2.0 Fib → about $3.98
2.618 Fib → near $4.63
3.618 Fib → roughly $5.67
4.618 Fib → close to $6.70
These levels were marked as possible resistance or consolidation zones once a breakout occurs.

The flagpole represents the sharp upward push.
The flag (sloping channel) shows price consolidation.
