$XRP ‌ WHALE BATTLEGROUND: THE 1.02 WALL THAT REFUSES TO CRACK! 💥 Entry: 1.02 ⚡ Target: 1.08 🎯 Target: 1.13 💥 Stop Loss: 0.9932 🛑 📌 While the crowd hesitates at these heights, the buy-side has turned 1.02 into a fortress. Every dip into this zone gets absorbed faster than a sponge in a tsunami. 🌊 The SEC overhang is clearing, banks are queuing up for partnerships, and the market is starting to price XRP for what it truly is — not what the fear narrative says. 📊 💡 This is the quiet before the vertical move. The ships are loaded, the anchor is lifting, and anyone waiting for a "better price" is just giving the market time to leave them at the dock. 🔍 The moment this coil snaps, the chase begins and the entry window slams shut. 💬 Are you stacking at 1.02 while it's still polite, or waiting to pay up when it gets rude? 👇 ⚠️ Not financial advice. Always manage your risk. 🛡️#GateLaunchpool141MDOS
