$XRP : The Bearish Call They Ignored… Until It Dumped 73% Back in July 2025, when most of the market expected higher prices, I warned that #XRP was losing bullish structure and advised taking profits above $3. Today: ✅ ~73% down from the cycle top ✅ ~53% below the confirmed breakdown ✅ Below $1 for the first time in ~1 year 9 months This is why TA isn't about predicting every move. It's about protecting capital when risk starts increasing. Current Outlook: #XRP is approaching my macro accumulation zone: $0.85 – $0.65 I still expect possible 20–40% downside before a major reversal, so I won't deploy capital all at once. Accumulation: $0.85–$0.65 Targets: $3 → $5 → $7 → $10+ Stop Loss: After reversal confirmation I don't want to catch the exact bottom. I want to accumulate near major HTF demand with asymmetric risk/reward. Protect capital near the top. Build wealth near the bottom.

BTC Market Setup $BTC is back at the key $63,700–$63,900 supply zone, an area where sellers could attempt to regain control. The previous downside move followed the expected structure: BTC bounced from the lower zone, recovered toward the premium area, and is now testing resistance again. Short Zone: $63,700–$63,900 Take Profit Levels • TP1: $63,000 • TP2: $62,500 • TP3: $62,000 • TP4: $61,500 Invalidation: $64,750 The main setup is a rejection from the supply zone. If BTC fails to reclaim $64K and selling pressure increases, the lower targets become increasingly relevant. However, if price breaks and holds above $64,750, the bearish thesis is invalidated and the short should be avoided. I’m also monitoring $ETH , $SOL and $XRP for potential downside setups. Risk management comes first. Let the price confirm the move rather than chasing volatility. #BTC #Bitcoin #Crypto #Gate #Trading
