XRP is once again in the spotlight. Several spot ETFs are already trading in the U.S., and inflows into these products continue. During one recent streak, the funds received about $170 million over 11 trading sessions. Now the market is watching Washington. If the government funding situation is resolved, it could remove some of the administrative delays surrounding the crypto market, but I wouldn’t overestimate the direct connection to new XRP ETFs. For XRP holders, the infrastructure is gradually becoming more interesting. DYOR.

I had already finished complaining to my friends about this week’s market action, but now I have to take it all back—it’s a little awkward. During the repeated intraday swings, I saw $SKYAI struggling to rebound, with sell orders pressing down layer by layer and volume failing to pick up, so I casually flagged it as bullish at the time. The timing was spot on: from 0.06198 to 0.04862, +529.36%. Feels good, brothers. Take some profits first and close 80%; protect the remaining 20% at the entry price, and let the profits run if it keeps selling off. Don’t be greedy for the last bite; chasing orders can easily leave you stuck at the top. Wait for a new structure to emerge before looking again. There will be more opportunities, so don’t rush. $XRP $SNDK

For this $XRP short, I did not wait for the key level; instead, I continued leaning bearish as the price rebounded toward the previous high. The upper boundary of the range was tested repeatedly earlier, but each move higher was pushed back down, indicating that the breakout-chasing positions were not firmly established. Now that +191.19% is secured, I will first take profits in batches at an 80/20 split, with the remaining position protected to avoid giving back profits. The technical basis is, first, that the previous-high key level held, and second, that the volume-price confirmation was poor. Trading volume did not expand significantly during the rebound, and the breakout looked more like a bull trap, followed by a quick drop back below the key level. As long as the price does not reclaim and hold above the range’s upper boundary, the bearish structure remains intact. I will first look for support near the previous low, then look for further downside if it breaks. If 1.3764 reclaims the key level and holds above it with increased volume, my short thesis will be invalidated. I will not stubbornly hold the remaining position; I will exit when the protection level is triggered. I also will not chase if I miss the low, and will wait for the next rebound confirmation before acting. Taking profit on a short position is not about staying bearish to the end, but about capturing the move that should be captured. $BNB $ZEC
