Solana's golden sign ignites hope – SHIB stumbles at a critical price level, XRP network prepares for action

Solana Breaks Through Technical Resistance with 40% Volume Surge

Solana’s trading volume is skyrocketing: a 40 percent increase indicates that institutional and private investors are regaining confidence. The SOL price has risen 3.70 percent in the last 24 hours to currently $141.46 – and technical indicators suggest more gains ahead.

The key signal comes from the Golden Cross. This formation occurs when the short-term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average and is considered by chart technicians as a signal for sustained upward trends. Solana already exhibited this pattern earlier this year – at that time, it followed with a strong rally up to $200 to $228.

The massive volume increase emphasizes that this breakout is not a false move. When buyers support a token with such strength, a self-reinforcing upward movement often follows.

SHIB Balances on the Price Level of Truth – Liquidations Lurk

While Solana gains momentum, Shiba Inu is under pressure. The coin has been pushed to a price level where leveraged long positions are at risk.

The numbers are remarkable: long positions suffer maximum losses at around $0.00777. Short positions, on the other hand, start to incur losses at $0.0086. The current trading at around $0.00816 means: the liquidation cascade on the downside is approaching.

The problem: Asymmetry. A mere 5 percent decline could trigger forced liquidations. Conversely, for a price increase, more than 5 percent plus significantly stronger demand are needed. The selling pressure is in the hands of the bears – the upward trend must be fought for.

If the price gradually falls into the $0.0077 to $0.0078 range, the continuous liquidation pressure could accelerate the decline. However, if the sell-off stops quickly, weak positions are cleared, making a bottom formation more likely.

XRP Network Calls for Update – Amendments in Test Mode

The XRP Ledger is entering a new era. The XRP Ledger Foundation has published an upgrade notice calling node operators to act.

Version 3.0.0 of the rippled software introduces three significant Amendments, which are currently disabled: LendingProtocol, DynamicMPT, and fixDelegateV1_1. The code is ready, and voting is imminent.

The message is clear: node operators should upgrade as soon as possible. The strategic reason is that the XRP Ledger allows testing in an isolated environment before changes are activated on the live network. This minimizes risks and vulnerabilities.

Additionally, v3.0.0 includes several bug fixes at the ledger level – including a correction in token custody that closes an original security gap. With the current price level of $2.06, XRP positions itself as a stable player in this phase of network evolution. The technical preparation of the ecosystem could strengthen confidence in the long term.

The XRP Ledger model demonstrates caution: testing before going live helps avoid unpleasant surprises. For node operators and developers, this means: now is the time to act.
