Ripple and Cardano struck major partnerships in Brazil, expanding blockchain use in the country’s regulated financial and energy sectors. According to BeInCrypto, CSD BR began testing XRP Ledger as a parallel record-keeping system for investment funds, while Cardano Foundation unveiled two applications with Petrobras for sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel tracking. Ripple said the pilot mirrors BTG Pactual fund shares onchain, and Cardano said the projects support emissions reporting.

$XRP IS TRYING TO BUILD A BIGGER LONG-TERM RECOVERY XRP is holding around the $1.50 area, with the first key resistance near $1.70. If price can reclaim that level and hold above it, the next major zone on the chart sits around $2.63. Above that, the structure starts opening toward the $3.50-$3.70 area, with the larger trendline becoming the next major test. For me, $1.70 is the level that needs to flip first.

Fear & Greed Index at 74, with greed across the market, yet $XRP moved only +0.01%. This is the most unusual detail today—the broader market sentiment is elevated, but the leading coin is barely moving, while the funding rate remains -0.0014%, meaning shorts are paying to hold positions, indicating that longs have not been chasing the rally under the influence of sentiment. MA5=1.49014 has fallen below MA20=1.50187, RSI=44.8 is weak but not oversold, and the MACD histogram at -0.001984 still shows a bearish structure. The price is tracking the lower Bollinger Band at 1.47779, with an amplitude of only 3.96%, a typical divergence between sentiment and price—greed has not been transmitted to XRP, and sector-rotation funds are favoring high-volatility, small-cap assets such as NIL. Before BTC provides a clear direction, XRP will most likely continue bottoming within a range. I lean bullish directionally, but will only buy dips and not chase. The entry reference is 1.478–1.486, the confluence zone between the lower Bollinger Band and today's low. The rationale is that RSI is approaching the lower end of neutral territory, while the negative funding rate indicates crowded shorts; once BTC stabilizes, this could easily trigger short covering. Take-profit 1 is at 1.502, corresponding to the MA20 resistance; take-profit 2 is at 1.526, corresponding to the upper Bollinger Band. Set the stop-loss at 1.468; a break below the lower band would indicate that the range has failed and the bearish structure is continuing. Also monitor: $CRCLB, $NIL ; the former is weaker than the broader market, while the latter is clearly stronger, and they can serve as references for sector strength. (Personal opinion for reference only; this does not constitute any investment advice. Futures trading involves extremely high risk, so strictly control your position size.)
