Deep Tide TechFlow News, October 10: The XRP Ledger recently fixed a critical security vulnerability traceable to 2015. The vulnerability was discovered by researcher Cayden Liao and Veria AI and reported internally on September 22. Attackers could open hundreds of accounts and exploit a counter overflow flaw in the ledger’s built-in exchange to create and transfer large amounts of XRP out of thin air at extremely low cost, then cash out, thereby bypassing XRP’s fixed supply cap of 100 billion tokens. RippleX quietly released the patched version xrpld 3.4.1 on September 25 and said that no evidence has been found so far that the public network was exploited.

Under greedy sentiment, which side is the capital really taking? The answer lies in the funding rate: $XRP is currently at 1.4056, up only 0.77% over 24h, but its funding rate is -0.0004%, the only negative one among the three candidates. This means shorts are paying longs to hold positions, while the price remains above MA5=1.4048 and MA20=1.39355, with the moving averages aligned bullishly. Negative funding + a non-declining price is a typical trapped-short structure; once it breaks above the Bollinger upper band at 1.41085, it could easily trigger a short-covering wick spike. RSI at 57.7 is not overheated, the MACD histogram at +0.002225 remains bullish, and volume at 112.3M USDT is also the highest of the three. The Fear & Greed Index is at 64, in the greed range, but XRP's gains are clearly lagging, making it a catch-up opportunity that capital has not yet fully priced in. Overall, the short-term bias is bullish, and a pullback near MA5 would be the long-side cost zone. Entry reference: 1.398–1.406 (resonant support from MA5 and the current price); Take-profit 1: 1.4210 (extension above the Bollinger upper band, the first target after a breakout); Take-profit 2: 1.4380 (equidistant extension based on the 2.55% range over 30 candlesticks); Stop-loss: 1.3840 (the defense line before breaking below MA20 and losing the Bollinger middle band at 1.37626, which would invalidate the negative-funding thesis). If the funding rate turns positive while the price stagnates, exit immediately. Also watch: $ENA , $OP, among which $OP RSI at 79.8 is severely overbought and its funding rate of +0.0100% is relatively crowded, while $ENA is relatively moderate; in terms of strength, XRP offers better odds than the other two.
