$XRP is trading around $1.42, up 32.26% over the past month, but the short-term structure still looks weaker than SOL. After peaking near $1.55, XRP fell to $1.37-$1.38 before staging a sharp V-shaped recovery toward $1.46-$1.47. That bounce was solid, but price is already pulling back again. For me, $1.46-$1.47 is the first level XRP needs to reclaim. Above that, $1.55 comes back into play. If $1.40 fails, I would expect another test of $1.37-$1.38. The key point is relative strength. XRP has recovered, but it is still lagging stronger large-cap names like SOL. +32% in a month is impressive, but in this market I care just as much about what an asset is outperforming. Not financial advice. DYOR. #Gate7DayNetInflowsTop3 #StrategySharesBreak135ForFirstTimeIn12Weeks #GateStockInsightsChallenge #EventContracts1%Reward

No execution, no analysis, just sheer luck—this track record is embarrassing even to talk about. But I still have to review the trade, otherwise what happens next time when luck isn’t on my side? Right after I saw the bearish news, $EIGEN bounced. I took a look at the volume, and it was pathetic. Every upward push was just short of breaking through, and without volume following, it was just a fake move. In this kind of market, not shorting would have been doing the chart a disservice. I opened a short position with the momentum, and it kept drifting lower all the way, moving even more smoothly than expected. Entry price: 0.2195; it is now at 0.2001, with a +430.02% return. Those who got in should be laughing in their sleep—this grind was worth it. A quick note on the position: Close 70% first; taking profits is the most reassuring. Move the stop-loss on the remaining 20% up to the entry price. Hold through further selling and exit on a bounce—the principle is not to let profits become painful. Don’t lose patience grinding through a range, only to try to regain your dignity in a one-way move. Now is not the time to rush in. Wait for the next signal before making a move, and don’t chase if you miss it. $BTC $XRP

Retail and large investors are fighting it out on Bitcoin. In our $BTC USDT global accounts, long positions make up only 48.1%, with a long/short ratio of 0.926—more people are bearish. Among large investors, long positions account for 67.7%, with a long/short ratio of 2.096, and their positions are heavily skewed toward longs. For $ETH , both sides are leaning bullish. $XRP accounts: long 70.8%; DOGE retail accounts: long 73.1%; large investors: long 79.5%; long/short ratio 3.880. Big BTC is still battling head-to-head, while altcoins have already been squeezed to the side. In the event of a pullback, there is more room for a rush to sell and get stepped on.
