#MiddleEastTensionsEscalate The first wave felt a bit like a "gamified faucet"—if the game wasn't fun, the only reason to stay was the paycheck, which inevitably led to the tokenomic death spirals we saw in 2021-2022. Seeing developers prioritize fun-first gameplay is the "adulting" phase GameFi had to go through.
​Here’s a quick breakdown of the core shifts you mentioned, organized for clarity:

January 29th $ZEC Silk Road
On the hourly chart, after the price surged near 405 and then started to pull back, it is now approaching a stable level. Technically, the indicators show a golden cross on the MACD, with the red histogram shrinking, and the KDJ also forming a golden cross and trending upward. The momentum is building up.
My personal suggestion is to buy around 362-355, with a target of 390-430 $ZEC

Trading for over ten days, the efficiency is average, ranking third on the steady list, with a not-so-good win rate. There are many small stop-loss orders that are trash. I also opened real accounts. This point, even small gains and losses, can make the monthly leaderboard. Currently, it’s not suitable to layout long-term orders because the number of people is not enough. It mainly focuses on medium and short-term operations. If the performance improves later and the number of people increases, then it can be appropriate to layout medium to long-term big profit orders. Currently in the first t

21Shares forecasts XRP target price of $2.45 in 2026, warns of correction risk
American asset management firm 21Shares in its latest report predicts a baseline target price of $2.45 for Ripple (XRP) in 2026; in an optimistic scenario, if institutional demand and RWA applications expand, the price could reach as high as $2.69. The report notes that XRP, which briefly surged to $3.65 in 2025, has now fallen back below $2. Analysis suggests that the 55 consecutive days of net capital inflows into XRP ETFs and the resolution of SEC cases have eliminated major uncertainties. 21Shares also warns tha
