XRP finally exploded on the 8-hour chart! This wave of movement is exactly the same as previously predicted, with the bullish momentum fully unleashed. Currently, looking at the 2.72 level, it is very likely to be the target price for the next stage. From a technical perspective, this rally shows obvious characteristics of a main upward wave — you know, that most aggressive push phase. The strong momentum is expected to continue in the coming days. A reminder: don't use too much leverage; even in a good market, you need to control your position size. Let's keep monitoring the market!

Interestingly, Polymarket recently saw the probability of the U.S. government shutdown ending this week jump to 84%—this consensus came quickly, as soon as the Senate just passed a procedural vote, market confidence surged. To be honest, this more than 40-day suspension has really crushed the risk appetite. Now the crypto circle sees this as a barometer: once the government reopens, the frozen liquidity of 250 billion to 350 billion USD in TGA will be unfrozen, and regulatory agencies like the SEC will be able to operate normally, allowing the ETF approval process for Bitcoin and XRP to finally move forward. The return of macro liquidity combined with the elimination of regulatory uncertainty has directly pushed Bitcoin back up to $106,000. Although Thune left a question mark on the specific voting timetable, the prediction market is clearly betting on a political solution being reached in the coming days. The market has already started pricing in this expectation.

The on-chain tracking tool just captured a big move—Ripple sent 200 million XRP to a mysterious Address, which amounts to over 500 million USD. As soon as this operation was revealed, the market began to speculate wildly again. To be honest, Ripple unlocking tokens every month is a routine, but this timing feels a bit delicate. Right now, XRP is surging due to the progress of ETF applications and improvements in the regulatory environment, soaring 9 points directly in 24 hours, and market sentiment is quite high. So what is the intention behind this transfer? It could be preparing ODL liquidity for institutional clients, or there might be some internal fund allocation going on; there's no definitive information yet. Currently, the XRP price is fluctuating around $2.54, marking a critical consolidation phase. If this batch of coins really flows into the exchange in the end, there will definitely be selling pressure in the short term; but if they are used for new business ventures or to expand the payment network, then the nature of the situation would be completely different. In any case, we need to continue monitoring that unknown Address to see how it moves next.
