Shorting XRP with all this ETF chatter is brave. Levels will decide.

$XRP Perp short update I just opened a 1000 dollar XRP short. Entry around 2.0655. I am planning to hold this for a longer move, not a quick scalp. I will manage risk properly and update if price hits my key levels.
When sentiment is cautious, upside surprises hurt the most.

📈 Solana ETFs Draw in $23.6M, Hitting a Four-Week High
U.S. spot Solana exchange-traded funds saw inflows of $23.57 million on Wednesday, their highest in four weeks, per SoSoValue data.
The positive netflow comes as Bitcoin trades near $97,000, accompanied by improving investor sentiment. Solana is currently trading at around $145, flat on the past day but up 8% over the past week, according to CoinGecko data.
Wednesday’s netflow provides “substantial momentum to potentially break Solana’s recently subdued trend,” Lacie Zhang, market analyst at Bitget Wallet, told Decrypt, adding that it “coincides with broader market recovery and could propel prices toward $150 if sustained.”
Sustained ETF demand would signal increasing institutional confidence in Solana's robust ecosystem, she added, highlighting the project’s scalability and real-world utility.
🔸 A muted outlook for altcoins
However, the overall outlook among major altcoins like Solana, XRP, and BNB remains subdued, with rallies largely confined to select narrative-driven sectors like privacy coins and meme tokens.
The scale of the ETF demand itself may be insufficient for a major breakout. “The current demand is not strong enough to sustain bullish momentum or trigger a clear trend change,” “Solana ETF total net assets account for only about 1.5% of SOL’s market capitalization, and their daily trading volume is less than 1% of total Solana spot volume.”
🔸 Solana’s fundamentals
Despite this, Solana's fundamentals show pockets of strength. Nine of the 22 fastest-growing companies to reach $100 million in revenue are built on Solana, according to investment firm FrictionlessVC.
Additionally, Pump.fun, a Solana-based meme platform, has doubled its active addresses over the past week, with daily token creation surging to nearly 31,000, per Dune analytics data.
Yet Otychenko cautions that these bright spots exist against a backdrop of broader network pressure.
THIS IS NOT BULLISH. THE WORST DAY OF 2026 IS TOMORROW. The Supreme Court ruling on Trump's tariffs is a 76% chance of being ILLEGAL. The payback could be HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS. Investment damages push this to TRILLIONS. This is a FISCAL SHOCK EVENT. The market is BLIND. Prepare for refund fights, emergency debt, and retaliation. Liquidity will EVAPORATE. Bonds, stocks, crypto will be exit liquidity.
U.S sells $500M of Venezuelan oil parking proceeds in U.S controlled accounts including Qatar to block creditor claims and maintain control over the funds.
This is where patience pays. Let the dust settle, then trade the trend.

🇺🇸 BREAKING MACRO NEWS ⚖️
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to deliver its decision on Donald Trump’s tariff case today at 10:00 AM ET.
🚨 Market Impact Alert: This ruling could act as a major volatility trigger across global markets, including crypto. Risk assets may see sharp, fast moves as traders price in the outcome.
🔍 What to Watch: • USD & bond reaction • Equity index volatility • Crypto knee-jerk moves (BTC, ETH, majors) • Risk-on vs risk-off rotation
⚠️ Trade smart: Expect whipsaws, widen stops, reduce leverage, and wait for confirmation after the decision.
Bitcoin has room to push toward the $100K–$103K zone if price breaks and holds above key resistance. That would confirm strength and keep momentum constructive.
At the same time, a deeper pullback later in the cycle remains possible if market conditions turn risk-off. The ~$57.8K area is a major level to watch, as it aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and the 200-week moving average—levels long-term buyers typically monitor.
Altcoin season usually gains traction after BTC confirms and holds its breakout, not before.

Bitcoin moved above $97K with calm and controlled price action. While there was no euphoria on the surface, the real signals came from underneath: Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $753M in net inflows, the strongest single-day inflow since October, confirming continued institutional accumulation.
At the same time, progress on infrastructure and regulation accelerated: • Visa and BVNK launched stablecoin payout solutions • Pakistan signed an agreement to integrate the USD1 stablecoin • Germany’s DZ Bank received approval to launch a crypto platform • NYSE listed a Chainlink ETF
This is what quiet strength looks like — capital inflows, infrastructure expansion, and regulatory momentum aligning.
Despite elevated geopolitical tensions, global markets especially crypto remain surprisingly resilient. The reason is simple, liquidity expectations are overpowering fear narratives.
On the geopolitical front, risks are real and visible. Ongoing tensions across the Middle East, trade frictions, and political uncertainty in major economies continue to push traditional safe havens like gold and silver to new highs. Normally, this kind of environment would pressure risk assets. But this cycle is different.
The key difference lies in monetary expectations.
During the January 13–14 meetings, policymakers from the Federal Reserve signaled a clear stance: rates are likely to be held steady, with no urgency to tighten further. Inflation data is cooling but not collapsing, allowing the Fed to remain patient rather than restrictive. Importantly, there was no pushback against current market optimism no strong hawkish surprise.
Markets interpreted this as confirmation that financial conditions will not be tightened aggressively, even with geopolitical risks still unresolved.
This is why capital behavior looks asymmetric:
Hard assets (gold, silver) are rising as hedges against political instability and currency debasement.
Risk assets (equities and crypto) are holding up because liquidity is expected to expand, not contract.
In crypto specifically, Bitcoin is acting less like a speculative asset and more like a macro liquidity barometer. While AI tokens and high-beta sectors show weakness, Bitcoin remains firm supported by institutional flows, ETF demand, and whale accumulation. This divergence suggests smart money is positioning early, while retail remains cautious.
This is not a risk-off environment—it’s a selective risk-on phase.
Do you expect a shallow pullback first, or straight continuation from here? 🤔

🚨 BREAKING: The U.S. has just completed its first sale of #VenezuelanOil , worth a whopping $500 million! 🇺🇸🇻🇪 This is part of a $2 billion deal between the U.S. and Venezuela, with additional sales expected in the coming days and weeks.
The revenue from this initial sale is being held in bank accounts controlled by the U.S. government, with the main account located in Qatar to ensure secure fund transfers .
This move signals a major shift in U.S.-Venezuela energy relations, with the U.S. aiming to tap into crude supplies from one of the world’s largest oil-producing countries. President Donald Trump has indicated that millions of barrels of Venezuelan crude will be delivered to the U.S. market, generating revenue and supporting investments in the region’s energy infrastructure.
$DCR STRONG IMPULSIVE BREAKOUT WITH MOMENTUM ACCELERATION
Clean reversal from the base followed by a sharp vertical expansion. Buyers stepped in aggressively, flipping structure and pushing straight through prior resistance. No hesitation on the move, momentum is clearly dominant here.
After a brief pause near the highs, price is holding firm, showing no panic selling and no deep pullback. This looks like continuation strength, not exhaustion. As long as DCR stays above the breakout zone, upside pressure remains active.
Strong volume expansion confirms participation and validates the move. This kind of price action usually signals more follow through rather than an immediate fade.
$DASH BREAKING: Emmanuel Macron just announced French troops are deploying to Greenland at Denmark’s request as part of $ICP Operation Arctic Endurance, a joint military exercise.
$FHE Yes, allies are now conducting joint military exercises to signal that Greenland is not for sale, not for grabs, not a Trump real estate fantasy.
Remember when Republicans claimed Joe Biden was going to start World War III?
$XRP is attempting a structural shift following a breakout from triangle compression.
Technical view: A contracting triangle is resolving to the upside within a broader downtrend. The bullish bias remains valid only if XRP holds above the breakout zone and builds acceptance — effectively flipping the former triangle resistance into support while respecting the rising trendline.
A return back inside the triangle would suggest a delayed or invalidated breakout.
