XRP's market structure is painting a familiar picture—one we saw play out back in February 2022. What's happening now is that short-term traders operating in the 1-week to 1-month timeframe are actively buying at levels below where the longer-term holders (6-12 month cohort) got in. This setup creates an interesting dynamic: as accumulation continues at these lower support zones, the psychological weight on existing holders keeps mounting. The longer this pattern holds, the more tension builds in the market. It's the kind of structure that usually precedes a meaningful shift in price action.

Hmm... it's the same trick again, a replay from 2022? Short-term traders bottom-fishing while long-term holders' cost basis is clever.

ngl this xrp chart is literally screaming "i've seen this movie before"... the basis points delta between your 6-12mo bags and what these tweeners are scooping up rn is *chef's kiss* opportunity cost territory. that accumulation zone's got more tension than a backrun waiting to happen tbh
