$XRP is showing heavy short pressure—don’t fall for the hype around the upcoming protocol update. My previous short from 0.42 has already more than doubled in gains, and the chart still looks shaky. Tokenomics are a red flag: nearly half the supply is with the community, FDV is over 4× the current market cap, and the whole setup feels overheated. On top of that, the team holds 20% at near-zero cost, with unlocks looming. Going long now just feeds the whales—smart traders know where the real opportunity lies.
