Congress passes H.R 1 into law. About the new bill.🔵 In what's been an eventful last few weeks congress passed H.R 1 which is essentially Trump's 900 page mega bill Act. Both Democrats and Republicans ultimately united against each other over the bill with Vice President Vance casing the tiebreaking vote giving Senate Republican's the large legislative victory. 🔵 To note is that independent-minded Republican Lisa Murkowski, senator of Alaska had some concerns with the bill before GOP negotiators we're able to acquire her vote for the 50-50 votes. Murkowski's primary issue was with the legislation's changes to Medicaid and federal food assistance funding which she was concerned would hurt her home state understandably. Republican's originally tried to sway her vote by adding language to shield Alaska from the full effect of the legislation's Medicaid and SNAP cuts. 🔵 Parliament opposed that as it violated the Byrd Rule which is there to determine the legislation that can go into a budget reconciliation package as well as passing with only GOP votes. Least to say the amendment was reworked many times in order for the waivers for the SNAP funding cuts to apply more broadly than just Alaska and Hawaii. Parliament rejected the prior amendment and language which targeted just the two states understandably. 🔵 With the rework the new SNAP provisions are planned to reduce food assistance funding more slowly in about 10 states with the number ultimately being decided by a formula and based on the error rate in delivering food assistance benefits in a year. After an arduous process the amendment was passed and Republican's secured the vote with Murkowski saying it was an agonizing process. 🔵 When speaking with reporters afterwards Murkowski noted that the process was stressful with them operating under an artificial timeline in reference to the pressure Trump put on the Senate to pass the bill. 🔵 Her concern was as follows: “Rather than taking the deliberative approach to good legislating, we rushed to get a product out. This is important. I want to make sure that we’re able to keep in place the tax cuts from the 2017 Jobs Act,” said Murkowski when asked about her support for the bill and why it was hard for her to come around to giving her vote. 🔵 “I struggled mightily with the impact on the most vulnerable in this country when you look to the Medicaid and the SNAP provisions,” said Murkowski. This point highlights just how the effort to push the bill through was met with haste and pressure notably. 🔵 The bill itself is projected to add $2.8 trillion to the federal deficit by 2034. Main reason for that would be thanks to a reduction in revenues as well as interest cost which could have the deficit rise by a potential $5 trillion if some temporary provisions become permanent. Interest payments on the national debt are also expected to increase significantly by 2034. 🔵It should be noted that these numbers and estimates are based on a "current law" baseline and are largely thanks to tax cuts in the bill with Economist having differing opinions on the economic impact of the bill. Time will tell us how estimates go but least to say this is a large turnaround from what many we're expecting with even DOGE's Elon Musk opposing the Bill and forming a new party in strong opposition. 🔵 The tax and spending bill will see spending increase and phase in a cut to Medicaid of an estimated $1 trillion over the next decade with the CBO projecting roughly 11.8 million more American's t hat would become uninsured within the next 10 years compared to the current law. This could lead to many losing healthcare services due to medical cost with states as well likely needing to adjust their own programs and having to take on a larger share of the cost whether that means reducing services or even closing some facilities. 🔵 The bill has many key changes but in summary it solidifies many tax breaks from Trump's first term with an estimated $4.5 trillion in tax cuts alongside tax deductions on tips, overtime and auto loans with deductions for adults that make under $75,000 and a boost to the child tax credit from $2,000 to $2,200 though millions of families at lower income levels would still not receive the full credit as one of the credit's, requirements is a minimum earned income of $2,500. In 2022 alone an estimated 18 million children under age 17 (26 of all children) were ineligible for the full child Tax credit because the family income was not high enough as reported by Columbia University's Center on Poverty and Social Policy. 🔵 To say in the least the new bill has many implications for the country and the next few months and years will definitely represent those changes and how the country shifts and adjusts to this with many having differing opinions understandably. I'll definitely keep you guys posted through it all but definitely a lot to see so much happen so quick and only time will tell and show us just how things play out simply put. The market itself is still continuing within this ascending channel, especially since we got that convergence with the 200 EMA and broke that $6,130 resistance. $6,300 is what I'm expecting resistance to hit the strongest so definitely gonna keep an eye there as traders process the news and changes. 🔵 Have to go but grateful as always for the support, definitely a long idea here but wanted to focus on some important points though the bill itself has so many changes it's hard to go over every one but you get the point. This is a big changes and we'll definitely see things shift a lot over the next few months and years and as always we'll keep posted with things. Thanks as always and all the best. Best regards, ~ Rock'

$XRP - Falling Wedge Breakout is CookingRipple is forming a simple yet perfect setup There is a strong horizontal support level of $2.11 that was established back in December of 2024 and has held the price perfectly (with only one breakdown) since then. Moreover, at that time a massive Falling Wedge started forming and is still doing it up to this day. Talking about resistances, there is a $2.45 one. Not very strong, but solid enough to form a decent horizontal channel within which the price moves. So, as the result we have the following structure: CRYPTOCAP:XRP has been consolidating above strong support for 6 months already and formed a pattern that suggest upcoming upward movement. The perfect entry spot in LONG will be at the breakout&retest of the both $2.45 resistance and Falling Wedge resistance (they perfectly correlate) . Target zone of $3.5 - $4 can be reached within the next 3 - 5 months.

XRP: A Trader's Gambit or an Investor's FortuneXRP at the Crossroads: A Trader's Gambit or an Investor's Fortune? The digital asset XRP currently finds itself in a fascinating and precarious position, presenting a narrative so divided it could belong to two entirely different assets. For the short-term trader, the charts are painting a picture of tension and potential reversal, a technical puzzle where a wrong move could be costly. For the long-term investor, the horizon holds the promise of a revolutionary technology poised to disrupt a trillion-dollar industry, with price targets that seem almost unimaginable from today's standpoint. This analysis delves into this profound dichotomy, exploring the immediate bearish signals that tempt traders to short, while simultaneously mapping out the ambitious, utility-driven path that could lead XRP to astronomical new heights. The Short-Term Squeeze: A Technical Tightrope Walk Observing XRP's recent price action is like watching a high-stakes chess match. The token has demonstrated a textbook reaction to a critical trendline, a move that likely ensnared traders who were too quick to bet on a price collapse. By bouncing precisely where technical theory suggested it might, it "trapped" these early sellers, forcing them to reconsider their positions as the price stabilized and began to creep upward. Following this maneuver, the price has embarked on a cautious ascent from the $2.20 support zone. As of early July, XRP has managed to climb above the $2.2320 mark and is holding its ground above the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average, both of which are constructive short-term signals. The immediate focus has now shifted to a key resistance level at $2.285. A decisive break above this ceiling could signal that the bulls have taken control, potentially triggering a new wave of buying pressure. However, a significant hurdle lies in wait. On the hourly chart, a short-term contracting triangle has formed, with its upper boundary creating firm resistance at the $2.280 level. Such patterns are known to be harbingers of volatility; they represent a period of consolidation and coiling energy before the price makes a powerful move in one direction. While a breakout to the upside is possible, the bearish case remains equally compelling. This bearish outlook is centered on a previously marked supply zone that the price is now approaching. A supply zone is an area on the chart where a glut of sell orders is historically clustered. If the price pushes into this zone without first building a stronger foundation of support by drawing in buying interest (grabbing liquidity) from lower levels, it risks hitting a brick wall. The selling pressure could overwhelm the buying momentum, leading to a swift and strong rejection. For traders anticipating this outcome, it presents a prime opportunity to initiate a short position, betting on a significant price decline. The level of $2.28 is therefore not just a resistance point; it's a critical battleground that will likely dictate the next major directional move. The Long-Term Vision: The $35 Moonshot Fueled by Global Remittances To truly understand the fervent belief held by long-term XRP holders, one must look beyond the flickering candles of the hourly charts and focus on the asset's fundamental purpose. The most powerful bullish argument for XRP is not based on technical patterns, but on its potential to fundamentally reshape the global remittance market. The remittance industry—the process of individuals sending money across borders to their families—is a colossal and ever-growing sector of the global economy. Projections indicate that this market will swell from nearly $800 billion to over $1.06 trillion by 2029. For decades, this system has been notoriously inefficient, characterized by exorbitant fees that eat into the funds sent home and settlement times that can stretch for days, leaving families waiting for critical support. This is the problem that Ripple, the technology company behind XRP, was designed to solve. By utilizing XRP as a neutral bridge asset, Ripple's payment network can facilitate cross-border transactions in a matter of seconds, not days. The cost of these transactions is a tiny fraction of what traditional banking intermediaries charge. This value proposition of speed and savings is not merely theoretical; Ripple has been actively forging partnerships to implement this technology in key remittance corridors, including those connecting to Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, and nations in the Middle East. The audacious price prediction of $35 per XRP stems from a model that quantifies this potential. The logic unfolds as follows: if XRP were to successfully capture a significant portion, say 25%, of the projected $1.06 trillion remittance market by 2029, the network's intrinsic value would be immense. Applying a valuation multiple similar to those of established payment processing giants, the network could be valued at over $500 billion. With a circulating supply of approximately 60 billion tokens, a simple calculation yields a fundamental value of around $8.90 per XRP. However, the cryptocurrency market is driven by more than just underlying utility; it is heavily influenced by demand, speculation, and investor sentiment. The model accounts for this by applying a "demand premium." If widespread adoption and recognition of XRP's role create a surge in demand, this could act as a multiplier on its fundamental value. A 4x demand premium, a figure not uncommon during crypto bull markets, applied to the $8.90 base valuation, is what brings the target to an eye-watering $35.56. This forecast, while undeniably ambitious, is anchored in the tangible prospect of solving a multi-trillion-dollar real-world problem. Bridging the Gap: Catalysts for a New Era The journey from a price of around $2.22 to a potential $35 is long, and its success hinges on several critical factors. A major cloud that long hung over XRP was its legal battle in the United States, which created uncertainty and stifled institutional adoption. However, significant legal victories have provided much-needed regulatory clarity, affirming that XRP itself is not inherently a security. This has been a pivotal de-risking event, opening the doors for financial institutions to begin integrating and utilizing the asset with newfound confidence. The next major potential catalyst on the horizon is the approval of a spot XRP Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). Following the successful launch of ETFs for other major cryptocurrencies, many in the industry see an XRP ETF as a logical next step. Such a product would be a game-changer, providing a regulated and easily accessible bridge for a vast pool of capital from traditional finance to flow into the XRP market. It would allow pension funds, asset managers, and retail investors to gain exposure to XRP through their standard brokerage accounts, potentially triggering a massive wave of demand. Of course, the path is not without its challenges. XRP operates in a competitive environment, with other blockchain projects and even modernizing traditional systems like SWIFT vying for a piece of the cross-border payments pie. Continued innovation, network growth, and the expansion of strategic partnerships will be paramount to securing its market position. Conclusion: A Dichotomy of Destiny In its current state, XRP embodies the dual nature of the cryptocurrency market. It is at once a playground for nimble traders, who see the immediate risks and rewards in its tight price consolidation, and a beacon for long-term visionaries, who see the blueprint for a future global financial standard. The bearish case for a short-term rejection from the $2.28 supply zone is technically sound and warrants caution. A failure to break through this level could easily send the price back down to retest lower supports. Simultaneously, the long-term bullish thesis is one of the most compelling in the entire digital asset space. It is not built on hype alone, but on a clear and demonstrable utility aimed at a vast and inefficient market. The prospect of a $35 XRP is a testament to this potential. Ultimately, the decision of whether to view XRP as a short-term trade or a long-term investment is a reflection of one's own timeline, risk tolerance, and belief in its underlying technology. XRP is at a critical inflection point, and whether it succumbs to short-term pressures or breaks free to pursue its grander ambitions will be a defining story in the continuing evolution of finance.

XRP Alert: $3 Bets Dominate as Massive "Wedge" Pattern SignalThe Anatomy of a Sleeper Awakened: Analyzing the $3 XRP Bet and the Decisive XRP/BTC Technical Pattern In the relentless and often forgetful cycle of the cryptocurrency market, assets can fall into long periods of dormancy. They become laggards, overshadowed by newer, faster-growing projects, their communities tested, and their price action a flat line of disappointment on a chart full of parabolic curves. For years, XRP has been the quintessential example of such an asset. Plagued by a protracted legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and consistently underperforming its large-cap peers, it became the subject of both unwavering belief from its dedicated "XRP Army" and derision from the wider market. However, the quietest corners of the market often hide the most tension. Beneath the surface of sideways price action, a confluence of powerful forces is beginning to emerge, suggesting that this slumbering giant may be on the verge of a violent awakening. This shift is not signaled by mainstream headlines or celebrity endorsements, but by the sophisticated and often predictive language of derivatives markets and inter-market technical analysis. Two specific, potent signals have captured the attention of astute market observers. The first is a stunning development in the XRP options market, where call options with a $3 strike price are inexplicably dominating trading volumes. This is not a modest bet on a 20% gain; it is an audacious, seemingly irrational wager on a 500-600% price explosion. The second is a multi-year technical pattern on the XRP/BTC chart—a massive falling wedge that suggests XRP is coiling for a major rally, not just in dollar terms, but against the market's undisputed king, Bitcoin. This analysis will conduct a deep dive into these two phenomena. We will dissect the implications of the $3 options bet, exploring the psychology and mechanics behind such speculative fervor. We will then meticulously break down the XRP/BTC wedge pattern, explaining its significance as a measure of relative strength and its potential to unleash a powerful wave of capital rotation. Finally, we will connect these market signals to the underlying fundamental drivers—the aftermath of the SEC lawsuit, Ripple's ongoing business development, and the broader market cycle dynamics—to construct a holistic thesis. While the road ahead is fraught with risk and uncertainty, the evidence suggests that the narrative surrounding XRP is undergoing a seismic shift, moving from a story of legal battles and stagnation to one of profound, speculative optimism. ________________________________________ Part 1: Decoding the Options Market Frenzy - The Audacity of the $3 Bet To the uninitiated, the options market can seem like an esoteric and complex casino. In reality, it is a sophisticated mechanism for hedging risk and placing directional bets, and the data it generates provides an invaluable window into the collective mind of the market. The current activity in the XRP options market is not just a flicker of interest; it is a roaring fire of speculative conviction centered around a single, audacious number: $3. Understanding the Language of Options Before dissecting the significance of this event, it is crucial to understand the basic mechanics at play. A call option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an asset at a predetermined price (the strike price) on or before a specific date (the expiration date). For example, a trader buying an XRP call option with a $3 strike price is betting that the price of XRP will rise significantly above $3 before the option expires. If XRP were to reach, say, $4, the trader could exercise their option to buy XRP at $3 and immediately sell it for $4, pocketing the difference. The key takeaway is that these options are leveraged instruments. A trader can control a large amount of XRP for a small upfront cost (the premium). However, if the price of XRP does not exceed the strike price by the expiration date, the option expires worthless, and the trader loses their entire premium. This makes buying far out-of-the-money (OTM) call options—where the strike price is significantly higher than the current market price—an extremely high-risk, high-reward strategy. The Significance of the $3 Strike Price The current market price of XRP hovers around $0.50 to $0.60. A $3 strike price, therefore, is not a bet on incremental gains. It is a bet on a monumental, life-changing rally of approximately 500%. This is what makes the situation so extraordinary. The fact that this specific strike price is the most traded in terms of volume indicates a massive concentration of speculative interest. This phenomenon can be interpreted in several ways: 1. Extreme Bullish Conviction: The most straightforward interpretation is that a significant number of traders, from retail speculators to potentially larger funds, harbor a deep-seated belief that a major catalyst is on the horizon. This could be related to a final, favorable resolution in the SEC case, a major partnership announcement by Ripple, or the anticipated effects of a full-blown crypto bull market lifting all boats, with XRP expected to be a primary beneficiary. They are willing to risk a small premium for a chance at an exponential payout. 2. "Lottery Ticket" Mentality: A more skeptical view is that these are akin to lottery tickets. The premiums on these far OTM options are relatively cheap. A trader might spend a few hundred dollars on $3 calls, fully accepting that they will likely expire worthless. However, in the infinitesimally small chance that XRP does experience a black swan event to the upside, that small investment could turn into tens of thousands of dollars. It is a bet on volatility and a low-probability, high-impact event, rather than a nuanced analysis of fair value. 3. Potential for a Gamma Squeeze: This is a more complex but critical possibility. When a large number of call options are purchased, the market makers who sell these options are left with a short position. To hedge their risk, they must buy the underlying asset (XRP). As the price of XRP begins to rise and approach the strike price, the market makers' risk increases exponentially, forcing them to buy more and more XRP to remain hedged. This reflexive loop—rising prices forcing more buying, which in turn pushes prices even higher—is known as a gamma squeeze. The massive open interest at the $3 strike, while currently far away, builds a foundation of potential explosive fuel. If a rally were to gain serious momentum and push past $1, then $1.50, the hedging pressure on market makers would begin to mount, potentially turning a strong rally into a parabolic one. 4. Analyzing the Volume and Open Interest "Dominating trading volumes" means that more contracts for the $3 strike are changing hands daily than for any other strike price, whether it's a more conservative $0.75 or $1.00 call. This indicates active, ongoing betting. Open interest, on the other hand, refers to the total number of outstanding contracts that have not been settled. High open interest at the $3 strike signifies that a large number of participants are holding these positions, not just day-trading them. They are maintaining their bet over time, waiting for the anticipated price move. The sheer concentration of both volume and open interest at such a high strike price is a powerful sentiment indicator. It tells us that the "smart money" or, at the very least, the most aggressive speculative capital, is not positioning for a minor recovery. It is positioning for a complete and total repricing of the asset. While this does not guarantee the outcome, it creates a self-fulfilling prophecy dynamic. The knowledge that this much speculative interest exists can itself attract more buyers, who want to front-run the potential squeeze. ________________________________________ Part 2: The Technical Tale of the Tape - XRP/BTC's Coiled Spring While the options market provides a glimpse into the speculative sentiment surrounding XRP's dollar value, a far more profound story is being told on the XRP/BTC chart. This trading pair is arguably one of the most important long-term indicators for any altcoin, as it measures its performance not against a fiat currency, but against the crypto market's center of gravity: Bitcoin. The Crucial Importance of the XRP/BTC Pair When XRP/USD rises, it can simply mean the entire crypto market, led by Bitcoin, is in an uptrend. However, when XRP/BTC rises, it signifies something much more powerful: XRP is outperforming Bitcoin. This means that capital is actively rotating out of the market leader and into XRP, seeking higher returns. A sustained uptrend in the XRP/BTC pair is the hallmark of a true "altcoin season" for that specific asset and is often the precursor to the most explosive, parabolic moves in its USD valuation. For the past several years, the XRP/BTC chart has been a painful sight for XRP holders. It has been in a brutal, grinding downtrend, meaning that even when XRP's dollar price rose, holding Bitcoin would have been a more profitable strategy. This long period of underperformance, however, has forged one of the most powerful bullish reversal patterns in technical analysis: a falling wedge. Anatomy of the Falling Wedge A falling wedge is a technical pattern that forms when an asset's price makes a series of lower highs and lower lows, with the two trendlines converging. The key characteristic is that the lower trendline (support) is less steep than the upper trendline (resistance). • Psychology Behind the Pattern: The pattern represents a battle between buyers and sellers where the sellers are gradually losing their momentum. Each new push lower by the bears is met with more resilience from the bulls, and the price fails to fall as far as it did previously. The contracting range signifies that volatility is decreasing and energy is being stored. It is a period of consolidation that often precedes a major trend reversal. The bears are getting exhausted, and the market is coiling like a spring. • The Breakout: The bullish signal is triggered when the price breaks decisively above the upper trendline (resistance) of the wedge. This breakout indicates that the balance of power has finally shifted from the sellers to the buyers. A valid breakout is typically accompanied by a significant increase in volume, confirming the conviction behind the move. • Price Target: Technical analysts often measure the potential price target of a wedge breakout by taking the height of the wedge at its widest point and adding it to the breakout point. Given that the XRP/BTC wedge has been forming for several years, its height is substantial, suggesting that a successful breakout could lead to a rally of 200-300% or more against Bitcoin. Analyzing the XRP/BTC Chart The multi-year falling wedge on the XRP/BTC weekly and monthly charts is a textbook example of this pattern. It encapsulates the entire bear market and period of underperformance since the previous cycle's peak. The price has been tightening into the apex of this wedge for months, signaling that a resolution is imminent. A breakout from this pattern would be a technical event of immense significance. It would signal the end of a multi-year bear market against Bitcoin and the beginning of a new cycle of outperformance. Traders and algorithms that monitor these patterns would interpret it as a major "buy" signal, potentially triggering a flood of new capital into XRP. This technical setup provides a logical foundation for the seemingly irrational optimism seen in the options market. The traders betting on $3 XRP are likely looking at the XRP/BTC chart and seeing the same thing: the potential for a violent and sustained reversal. A 200% rally in XRP/BTC, combined with a rising Bitcoin price in a bull market, could easily provide the momentum needed to propel XRP's dollar valuation into the multi-dollar range. The two signals are not independent; they are two sides of the same coin, reflecting a deep and growing belief in an impending, historic rally. ________________________________________ Part 3: The Fundamental Undercurrents - The 'Why' Behind the 'What' The explosive options activity and the powerful technical pattern are the "what." They are the observable phenomena. But to build a robust thesis, we must understand the "why." What fundamental shifts are occurring to justify this renewed optimism? The answer lies in a combination of legal clarity, steady business development, and predictable market cycle dynamics. The Aftermath of the Ripple vs. SEC Lawsuit The single greatest cloud hanging over XRP for years has been the SEC lawsuit, filed in December 2020, which alleged that XRP was an unregistered security. This created massive regulatory uncertainty, leading to its delisting from major U.S. exchanges and causing institutional capital to shun the asset. In July 2023, a landmark summary judgment was delivered by Judge Analisa Torres. The key takeaways were: 1. Programmatic Sales of XRP on exchanges do not constitute securities transactions. This was a monumental victory for Ripple and the XRP community. It provided the legal clarity that exchanges needed to relist XRP, and it affirmed that for the average retail buyer, XRP is not a security. This removed the primary existential threat to the asset. 2. Institutional Sales of XRP were deemed securities transactions. This was a partial victory for the SEC, but it was confined to Ripple's direct sales to institutional clients in the past. While the case is not fully over—with final remedies and penalties for institutional sales still being determined—the market has correctly interpreted the main ruling as a decisive win. The risk of XRP being declared a security across the board has been neutralized. This clarity is the single most important fundamental catalyst. It allows exchanges, investors, and partners to engage with XRP with a level of confidence that was impossible just a few years ago. The market is now looking past the remaining legal wrangling and focusing on the future. Ripple's Unwavering Business Development Throughout the entire legal battle, Ripple, the company, never stopped building. Its core mission is to use blockchain technology to improve cross-border payments, a multi-trillion dollar industry ripe for disruption. XRP, the digital asset, is central to its flagship product, Ripple Payments (formerly On-Demand Liquidity or ODL). This service uses XRP as a bridge currency to enable instant, low-cost international payments without the need for pre-funded nostro/vostro accounts. Ripple has been steadily expanding its payment corridors, securing licenses in key jurisdictions like Singapore, Dubai, and Ireland, and forging partnerships with financial institutions around the globe. Furthermore, the company is actively involved in the development of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), piloting its technology with several nations. The recent announcement of a Ripple-issued stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar further expands its ecosystem. This move positions Ripple to compete in the massive and growing stablecoin market, leveraging the XRP Ledger's speed and efficiency. This steady, behind-the-scenes progress provides a fundamental anchor to the speculative bets being placed. Unlike many crypto projects that are built on hype alone, Ripple has a real-world use case, a functioning business, and a clear strategy for capturing a share of the global payments market. The resolution of the SEC case allows this fundamental value proposition to finally come to the forefront. The Inevitable Laggard Rotation Finally, the optimism surrounding XRP can be explained by classic crypto market cycle dynamics. A typical bull market cycle follows a predictable pattern of capital rotation: 1. Bitcoin Leads: Capital first flows into Bitcoin, the market's most established and trusted asset. 2. Rotation to Ethereum: As Bitcoin's gains begin to slow, profits are rotated into Ethereum, the leading smart contract platform. 3. Large-Cap Altcoins: Capital then flows from Ethereum into other large-cap altcoins. 4. The Laggard Rally: Finally, in the latter stages of a bull run, traders seek out assets that have underperformed, or "lagged," the market. These laggards, often older coins with strong communities, can experience explosive catch-up rallies as a flood of speculative capital seeks the next big move. XRP is the archetypal laggard. It has massively underperformed both Bitcoin and Ethereum for years. The bets being placed now—both in the options market and on the XRP/BTC chart—are a clear anticipation of this final, powerful stage of the market cycle. Traders are positioning themselves to front-run the great capital rotation into one of the market's most well-known but long-neglected assets. ________________________________________ Part 4: A Sobering Perspective - Risks and Counterarguments No analysis would be complete without a balanced look at the potential risks that could invalidate the bullish thesis. While the confluence of signals is powerful, success is far from guaranteed. 1. The Options Trap: The most obvious risk is that the $3 call options are simply a mirage. The vast majority of far out-of-the-money options expire worthless. This could be nothing more than a wave of irrational exuberance from retail traders that ultimately amounts to nothing, leaving a trail of lost premiums. 2. The False Breakout: Technical patterns can fail. The XRP/BTC wedge could experience a "fakeout," where the price briefly breaks above the resistance line only to be aggressively sold back down, trapping hopeful buyers and resuming the downtrend. 3. Lingering Legal Headwinds: While the main ruling was a victory, the final penalty in the SEC case could be larger than anticipated, generating negative headlines and creating short-term selling pressure. Any future regulatory actions targeting other aspects of the crypto space could also have a chilling effect. 4. Adoption and Competition: Ripple's success is not preordained. The cross-border payments space is fiercely competitive, with traditional players like SWIFT innovating and other blockchain projects vying for market share. The ultimate success of Ripple's business model—and by extension, the utility-driven demand for XRP—is still a long-term question. 5. Centralization and Supply Concerns: A long-standing criticism of XRP is the centralized nature of its ledger and the large portion of the total XRP supply held in escrow by Ripple Labs. While Ripple has a predictable schedule for releasing this escrow, it represents a potential source of selling pressure and a point of concern for those who prioritize decentralization above all else. Conclusion: The Convergence of Evidence The case for a significant XRP rally is a tapestry woven from multiple, converging threads of evidence. It is not based on a single indicator but on a powerful confluence of speculative sentiment, technical structure, and fundamental catalysts. The frenzied buying of $3 call options is the market screaming its ambition, a raw and unfiltered signal of extreme bullishness. It is a bet not just on recovery, but on a complete paradigm shift in the valuation of XRP. This audacious sentiment finds its technical justification in the multi-year falling wedge on the XRP/BTC chart—a coiled spring of potential energy that, if released, would signal a historic rotation of capital into the long-suffering asset. Underpinning these market signals is a strengthening fundamental picture. The crucial legal clarity from the SEC lawsuit has removed the single greatest obstacle to XRP's progress, allowing the market to finally price in the steady, persistent work Ripple has done in building a global payments network. Combined with the predictable dynamics of a crypto bull cycle, where laggards eventually have their day in the sun, the stage appears to be set. The journey to $3—and beyond—is still a marathon, not a sprint. It is fraught with the risks of failed patterns, expiring options, and the inherent volatility of the crypto market. However, for the first time in years, the narrative is not one of defense but of offense. The signals are clear: the market is no longer asking if the sleeper will awaken, but is now placing massive, leveraged bets on the magnitude of the roar it will make when it does. The current moment represents the starting gun, and for traders and investors who have been watching from the sidelines, the race for XRP's repricing may have just begun.

XRP Price Today: Rising Outflows Hinder RecoveryXRP has experienced notable volatility throughout June, with the altcoin failing to break through the $2.32 resistance level. Despite multiple attempts, XRP remains consolidated below this critical price point. This price action indicates a lack of bullish momentum in the short term, making further gains challenging unless the resistance is breached. The Ichimoku Cloud is turning negative , suggesting that bearish momentum could intensify for XRP. With the cloud positioned above the candlesticks, it signals further pressure on the price. Additionally, rising outflows are visible on the CMF, as the indicator moves closer to the zero line, adding to the negative outlook. If selling pressure continues to mount, XRP could fall below its support at $2.13 , potentially slipping to $2.02. This would mark a significant decline and invalidate the bullish thesis, signaling that XRP’s upward momentum could be at risk in the near future.

XRP Bullish to ATH of $4.10Since breaking out of its 6 year price range of $0.12 - $1.97 in November 2024, Ripple has remained within a bullish territory, sitting just above its support zone of $1.60 - $1.97. As long as price can remain above this support zone I do believe that Ripple has much more upside to come in the next few YEARS. This definitely won’t be a fast move as there’s still a lot of legal situations involving XRP which is keeping price limited to the upside. But, as these legal battles come to an end & they will, it will slowly give XRP room to move to the upside. I definitely see $4.1 as an achievable target for Ripple as the first target in the future. Once this price is reached, market structure & price action will give us a better indication of whether or not we can see high prices above the $4.1 target. For now just be patient & let XRP play out in accordance with its external macro factors.

XRP UG-ah-LYXRP has been slowly chopping lower in a mess of overlapping candles. Lower highs and lower lows at the Highest degree. The trend is down and the Elliott Is ugly. There is a chance here for the trend to shift, but that low needs to hold. In Elliott Wave, ugly can be useful. An ugly pattern often screams correction. That is the working assumption right now. This structure could still be a complex wave four. Even though the wave count has not been crystal clear, I am not flying blind. I am using support and resistance to track the structure and wait for clarity. Here are the levels that matter right now: 3.4005 was the major high 3.0257 and 2.2762 are key reaction zones 2.6510 is the median and the first major line bulls need to beat 1.9736 is the old high that price continues to bounce from 1.9015 and 1.5267 are the potential downside reaction zones if the yellow path unfolds If this is a correction, there is still potential to hold above 1.62 and send. If that level goes, the structure shifts fast to lower targets. This is not the time to get brave without confirmation, mo. Ugly price action can still resolve cleanly. But I want to see an impulsive move through one of these levels, followed by a corrective return to that level. That would offer a more ideal continuation in whichever direction price decides. Let the level reactions speak first. I will act after.
