Cryptocurrency markets had a turbulent start to the new week. While global geopolitical pressures and economic uncertainties made it difficult for market players to navigate, #XRP made a surprising appearance. While Bitcoin and Ethereum struggled to recover, $XRP 's 5% surge attracted attention.

📉 Trump's Tariff Shock: Why Are Markets Shaking?

US President Donald #TRUMP announced new tariffs on European and Asian countries. This development risks reigniting global trade wars. Investor risk appetite, particularly in export-based economies, has decreased, while selling pressure on cryptocurrencies has increased.

Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) announced, contrary to expectations, that it does not intend to cut interest rates anytime soon. This situation has cast a shadow over market liquidity expectations and prompted crypto investors to exercise greater caution.

💬 Expert Comment: “Fears May Be Overblown”

BTSE COO Jeff Mei told CoinDesk

“While Trump’s tariff policies and the Fed’s tough stance on interest rates have worried the market, we are seeing buyers return to the market before the US market opens. This may indicate that fears are somewhat overblown.”

đŸ’„ The XRP Storm Has Begun: The Public, Not Institutions, Has Embraced It!

While general uncertainty persists in the market, XRP, a favorite of retail investors, has had a strong start to the week. Rising over 5%, reaching the $3 mark, XRP has become the most talked-about altcoin of recent days.

XRP’s rise has also dragged down other strong players in the market. For example:

Dogecoin (DOGE): Up 5%, reaching $0.2037

Cardano (ADA), BNB (BNB), Solana (SOL): Up over 3%

This chart shows that investors continue to focus on projects they believe will "risk," even during risky periods.

📊 Deepening Market and ETF Impact

SignalPlus Research Manager Augustine Fan highlighted the depth in the market, commenting:

“If we were in the pre-ETF era, these sell-offs would have been much more devastating. However, there is much deeper liquidity today. However, volatility may increase in the last quarter due to Fed policies and Trump's tariffs.”

🔎 Technical Outlook: Critical Levels on the Table

Bitcoin (BTC): Having fallen to $114,000 over the weekend, BTC is currently struggling to hold on to the $114,500 range. However, upward momentum requires breaking the $118,000 level.

Ethereum (ETH): Maintains support at $3,550. Holding above this level is a positive signal for a strong recovery.

XRP: Reached the $3 threshold. If this threshold is broken, technically, the $3.50-$4.00 range could be targeted.

✅ Conclusion: Can XRP Write a New Story?

While crypto markets are searching for direction between Trump's economic moves and the Fed's stance, XRP is rising like a shining star, weathering the storm. While institutional capital continues to withdraw, XRP, driven by the support of retail investors, could ignite a new story in this uncertain environment.

Investors should be cautious during this period that will go down in crypto history, as these rises present both opportunities and risks
