XRP Weekly Summary: February 15–21, 2025Welcome back to my weekly XRP roundup! As of February 21, 2025, the XRP market has been buzzing with activity, reflecting both its resilience and the broader crypto landscape’s volatility. Here’s what’s been happening with Ripple’s flagship cryptocurrency this week. Price Action: A Rollercoaster Ride XRP kicked off the week with a notable surge, climbing over 20% to hit $2.76 by midweek. This rally was a breath of fresh air for holders, fueled by whispers of regulatory clarity and renewed investor confidence. However, as Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies faced downward pressure, XRP cooled off slightly, trading around $2.50–$2.60 by Friday morning. Posts on X highlighted this pullback, noting resistance near all-time high volume-weighted average price (VWAP) levels, suggesting the market might be testing a critical ceiling. Despite the dip, XRP’s weekly gains remain impressive, hovering around 15–17% depending on the hour—a solid performance amid a shaky broader market. Or, if 15-17% doesn't impress you much in one week, you always have the alternative to put your money in a CD at your local bank for 4.7% per year. Legal Winds Blow in Ripple’s Favor The big story this week? Legal developments surrounding Ripple’s long-standing battle with the SEC. Sentiment on X and crypto news circles suggests growing optimism that the tides are turning. Speculation is rife that the SEC’s case could weaken further, especially with chatter about the agency acknowledging Grayscale’s XRP ETF filing. While no official resolution has dropped as of Friday morning, the narrative of “SEC overreach” is gaining traction, boosting XRP’s appeal as a “sleeping giant” ready to awaken. If these legal clouds clear, analysts see a path to $3 or higher in the near term—exciting times ahead! ETF Hype Heats Up Speaking of ETFs, the XRP ecosystem is abuzz with ETF-related developments. Multiple firms have been pushing XRP exchange-traded fund applications, and this week, the buzz intensified. The idea of a BlackRock-backed XRP ETF even popped up in some enthusiastic X posts—though it’s still speculative at this stage. The potential for an approved ETF continues to drive bullish sentiment, with analysts suggesting it could unlock a “liquidity cascade” and propel XRP past its previous all-time highs. For now, it’s a waiting game, but the anticipation is palpable. Another Financial Institution Connects to the XRP Ledger On February 19, 2025, Braza Group, an international payment firm with over 15 years in the banking sector, announced the launch of its BBRL stablecoin on the XRP Ledger. Braza Group, while not a traditional bank itself, is a BACEN (Central Bank of Brazil) interbank player, meaning it operates within Brazil’s regulated financial ecosystem and facilitates interbank transactions. The BBRL stablecoin, pegged to the Brazilian Real, aims to provide a secure and efficient digital transaction option for individuals and businesses, leveraging XRPL’s capabilities. Making Closer Ties Where Its Important Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple has been active in the public sphere recently, but the most notable events occurred earlier in February. On February 14, 2025, he shared on X about engaging with U.S. policymakers in Washington, D.C., including meetings with figures like Senator Tim Scott (Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee) and Representative Ritchie Torres. Photos from these meetings were posted, showing him alongside lawmakers such as Representatives William Timmons, Bill Huizenga, Bryan Steil, Zach Nunn, and French Hill. These discussions focused on advancing crypto regulatory clarity, but they fall just outside this week’s timeframe (February 15–21). Market Sentiment and On-Chain Moves On-chain data paints a picture of accumulation, with significant XRP outflows from exchanges reported earlier in the week—think tens of millions of dollars’ worth. This suggests big players might be stacking their bags, betting on a breakout. Meanwhile, X users are hyping up technical patterns like the “cup and handle,” hinting at a possible 18% jump to $3.30 if XRP clears key resistance around $2.82. The mood? Bullish, but cautious—everyone’s watching Bitcoin’s next move and the Fed’s hawkish stance for cues. What’s Next? As we wrap up this week, XRP stands at a crossroads. Will it smash through resistance and reclaim its glory above $3, or will market headwinds force a deeper correction? With legal clarity on the horizon, ETF speculation simmering, and strong community support, XRP is poised for a potentially historic moment. Stay tuned for next week’s update—we might just see fireworks!

Ethereum MELT UP is coming. There's been a lot of discussion lately on where ETH price might go and, mostly the news I saw, where super bearish on it. I remember seeing a chart where Hedge Funds where MEGA bearish on it based on Trump news of some sort, however these data was not lying and indeed Hedge funds had the most COT bearish data ever recorded (2024 Xmas), thus the price suffered a great decline since. Now the picture has change dramaticaly; technicals + recent COT are pointing to a MELT UP that can happen from March. Ethereum present us a clear 1, 2, 3, 4 (we're here), 5 - Elliot Wave Count, where we are now in an extended corrective ABCDE pattern ready to blow up with Monthly Demand level, which we are currenly testing. From COT readings, we can see Fund Managers going from -4.250 net positions, to 2095 net positions, meaning that they went from MEGA bearish to VERY bullish in a short period of time. Conclusion, I see a MELT UP incoming in the next months of 2025.

Beyond BTC - Why Coinbase (COIN) is a Long-Term Buy?As a trader, I'm always watching the markets, but building long-term wealth is also key. That's why I'm digging into assets like Coinbase (COIN) . While my day job is trading, Coinbase has definitely caught my eye as something portfolio-worthy for the long haul. We might have missed the IPO buzz back in 2021, but looking at where Coinbase is headed, I think we're still early in a massive growth story. Don't let short-term crypto ups and downs distract you. Coinbase is playing a long game, and here's why it's a smart long-term investment - CEO Brian Armstrong's Big Vision (and Big Numbers): Already a Financial Giant: Think of Coinbase as a bank or brokerage – it's already HUGE. It's as big as the 21st largest US bank by assets ($0.42 trillion!) or the 8th largest brokerage. This size matters. Going Global: Coinbase isn't just focused on the US. They're expanding worldwide to grab new users and markets.   Becoming Your All-in-One Financial Hub: Forget old-school banks. Coinbase wants to be your single crypto-powered financial account for everything – payments, investing, and more. This is where finance is heading. Token Powerhouse: Crypto is about more than just Bitcoin. Coinbase wants to list every token, becoming the go-to place for the entire crypto universe.   Blending Crypto Worlds: Coinbase is smart – they're linking up with new decentralized crypto systems (DeFi) to give you the best of both worlds, easy to use but with more options. Working with Regulators: Coinbase is playing it smart, working with governments to make crypto safe and trusted for everyone long-term. Massive Crypto Payments: People are using crypto to pay – big time. $30 TRILLION in stablecoin payments happened last year alone. Coinbase is ready to cash in on this payment revolution. Why This Matters for Long-Term Investors: Crypto is Exploding: Everyone knows crypto is going to get bigger. Coinbase is in the perfect spot to ride this massive wave. Big Money is Coming: Big institutions like banks are starting to invest in crypto. Coinbase is built for them – safe, secure, and ready for big players.   Coinbase is the Brand You Trust: Coinbase is the big name in crypto. People know and trust them, which is gold in a new market. Bottom Line: Coinbase isn't just a trend; it's building the future of finance. Yes, crypto is bumpy, but for the long haul, Coinbase is positioned to be a winner. Now let's get technical and have a look at what the charts are saying - Uptrend is Clear: Forget short-term noise – this chart shows Coinbase has been on a solid climb since late 2023. There's a strong bullish structural break which indicates the trend has shifted up after a short bearish run. $350 is the Line in the Sand: Think of $350 as the ceiling right now. The price hit it, and we saw some selling. Gotta break above $350 to really see the bulls charging again. $225-$250 is the Safety Net: On the flip side, $225-$250 is like solid ground. As long as we stay above that, the bull run is still in play. Just Taking a Breather: Right now, the chart says "consolidation." Think of it as Coinbase catching its breath after a big run. This pause can be a good thing – building up energy for the next push up. RSI is Neutral for Now: The RSI thing is the 50% level. Not screaming "buy" or "sell," just saying "wait and see." After showing us bearish divergence we are likely to see oversold conditions within the current range - if that does happen it would be a good time to strike. What to Watch For (Trader Style): Breakout Above $350 = Green Light: If COIN blasts through $350 with some volume, that's the signal to jump in long. Think higher targets. Stuck Between $250 and $350 = Range Trade Time: If it stays in this range, you can play the range – buy low, sell high within the range. But be ready for a break either way. Drop Below $250 = Caution Flag: If we crack below $250, that's a warning sign. Might be time to get a bit more defensive. Final Notes: Coinbase looks good long-term, but we're in a "show me" moment right now. Watch those key levels – $350 and $250. Patience is key, but the chart is set up for a potential bullish move if we get the right trigger. If you're looking to invest for the long-haul, now would be a good time to add some shares to your portfolio. Important Disclaimer: Please remember, I am not a financial advisor.

Crypto Crash: Is Forex and Gold Next?!The current market crash in crypto is likely due to a combination of factors, including: 1. Regulatory Pressure – Governments and financial regulators worldwide are tightening control over digital assets, leading to uncertainty and panic selling. 2. Macroeconomic Conditions – Rising interest rates, inflation concerns, and a stronger U.S. dollar often lead investors to pull out of risky assets like crypto. 3. Institutional Sell-Offs – Large holders (whales) and institutional investors may be liquidating positions, further driving prices down. 4. Market Sentiment & Liquidations – Fear-driven selling and cascading liquidations in leveraged positions exacerbate price drops. Should We Worry About Forex and Gold? Forex markets and gold are affected by macroeconomic conditions, but not always in the same way as crypto. • Forex (XAU/USD & USD pairs): A strong dollar usually puts pressure on XAU/USD, but gold also benefits from risk aversion. If crypto weakness is tied to broader economic fears, gold might see increased demand as a safe haven. • USD Strength: If the crypto crash is part of a broader risk-off sentiment, the U.S. dollar could strengthen, impacting major forex pairs. Final Thoughts Crypto’s crash doesn’t necessarily mean forex or gold will follow suit. However, if this is part of a bigger shift in risk appetite, we might see volatility across all markets. Watch economic data, Fed decisions, and global risk sentiment closely.

Bitcoin Game Plan - BTC PREDICTIONHello folks, it's time to update the BTC game plan. My previous Bitcoin game plan worked precisely. The timing and price levels were 100% accurate, and as expected, we saw a new all-time high (ATH). I hope you managed to make some profits! I’ve attached the previous BTC game plan below—feel free to give it a look. New Game Plan: Bitcoin has set a new ATH, but it seems we’ve encountered significant selling pressure at that level, and we couldn’t close above it. This indicates Bitcoin doesn’t yet have enough liquidity to expand higher. From this perspective, I expect the price to retrace slightly, grab some liquidity from the buy side, and then continue its upward journey. Scenario 1: Price grabs the lows below and hits the purple line (Range High) before bouncing to a new high. (Less likely) Scenario 2: (Marked on the chart) Price grabs the lows completely and retraces to the blue bullish trendline, bouncing from there. We might even create a deviation below the blue line, trapping bears who aggressively short after a trendline break, and bounce from the green zone marked just below the blue line. (This is my preferred scenario.) Scenario 3: Price retraces further to grab all the way down to the lows and bounces from the black trendline we previously broke. I’m sharing all three potential scenarios for clarity. Also, with a pro-crypto president currently in office, any significant bullish news could send Bitcoin skyrocketing. Keep this in mind. I remain overall bullish on Bitcoin. I firmly believe we haven’t seen the top yet. Despite the panic and sell-off from some gurus on X and TradingView who claim we’ve topped, I personally think we’re not even close to the peak.

The Future of Blockchain: A New Era of TokenizationGreetings, fellow enthusiasts! I believe we are on the brink of a transformative era for blockchain technology. Here's my vision for how the future will unfold: The New Era of Tokenization: We are entering a period where almost every financial asset will be tokenized. Imagine stocks, gold, silver, and various commodities all represented as digital tokens on the blockchain. This shift is already gaining momentum, with big banks and influential players like Larry Fink from BlackRock advocating for the tokenization of everything. The Impact on Digital Assets: As we move towards this future, traditional financial assets will transition into digital tokens. This will, in my opinion, lead to digital assets without real-world counterparts, such as MARKETSCOM:BITCOIN , becoming "virtually" (pun intended) useless. Why? Because the tangible value of assets like tokenized TVC:GOLD or stocks will overshadow the speculative nature of purely digital assets. The Role of Big Banks and Institutions: With the backing of major financial institutions, the adoption of tokenization will accelerate. This will bring about a more secure, transparent, and efficient financial system, bridging the gap between traditional and digital finance. The Future: This is probably the end of the road for MARKETSCOM:BITCOIN and existing cryptocurrencies as we know them. Say hello to a new era of Cryptography that will be as mainstream as it can get. In summary, the future of blockchain lies in the tokenization of real-world assets, driven by the support of big banks and key industry leaders. This new era will redefine the landscape of digital assets, making those without tangible counterparts less relevant or even completely irrelevant. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and engaging in a lively discussion!

ICP breakout expected as positive cashflow is achievedInternet Computer Protocol is a unique project, that allows investors to accurately assess fundamentals. 2024 has been an amazing year for the project: ICP has been recognised as being the fastest blockchain in terms of max recorded transactions per second, outperforming Solana by more than 3 times (Cryptogics November 2024). In terms of compute, ICP is frequently burning more than 1 trillion 'cycles' per second, approximately 200x the 5B cycles/s it routinely burned a year ago. It is also reported to be the cheapest for transactions and data storage, by one or more orders of magnitude, depending on the blockchain it is compared with (Token Terminal December 2024). More than 4Tb of data is stored on ICP, more than 3.3x the data stored on Ethereum and potentially more data than is held on-chain by all other crypto projects combined. ICP is attracting developers at breakneck speed (3rd preferred blockchain for new developers), with fees collected up 40x year-on-year (Token Terminal December 2024). These metrics are impressive, but despite the heavy-hitting results booked to date, ICP is still ranked 39th with a market cap of (just) US$4.1B in the CoinGecko list of crypto projects, well below projects with no or little utility. This has led to some insiders referring to ICP as 'crypto's most undervalued project'. This month (January 2025), ICP will achieve 'positive cashflow', defined here as the point at which revenue from compute (ICP burned) exceeds the cost of the network (ICP minted to reward node providers). Refer to my post on Nuance for more detail (nuance.xyz). Apart from this critical milestone, the tokenomics of ICP are such that effective deflation is affected by the value of the ICP token. I built a model described in another Nuance post (nuance.xyz) that estimates deflation (defined as a decrease in the ICP circulating supply) to be achieved in 2028, but at the current depressed ICP price below US$10, effective deflation will be achieved before this Christmas!! In the context of the above, I expect ICP to increase significantly in value this year and given the chart provided here, my expectation is that the price of ICP will flip on a dime this week with the news of ICP achieving positive cashflow ('operational profit'). My view is that 10x is achievable in 2025. I do not provide financial advice. The above expresses my personal view and may be way off the mark. Please do your own research but feel free to comment.

This downturn is influencing altcoins, including Trump Coin (TRUMP), which is currently priced around $27.14. Technical Analysis of Trump Coin (TRUMP): Head and Shoulders Pattern: On higher timeframes, TRUMP has formed a head and shoulders pattern, a classic bearish indicator suggesting potential downward movement in the mid-term. Double Bottom Support Level: The anticipated decline may lead TRUMP to revisit its previous double bottom support around the $5 mark. Short-Term Bullish Spike: Before reaching the $8.80 support level, a brief bullish surge towards $12.544 is expected, possibly offering short-selling opportunities. Supporting News and Market Sentiment: Recent developments have contributed to the bearish outlook: Regulatory Concerns: President Donald Trump's executive order to establish a task force for proposing new cryptocurrency regulations has introduced uncertainty, leading to market declines. Meme Coin Volatility: The launch of TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins saw initial surges followed by significant crashes, highlighting the speculative nature of these assets and raising concerns about their impact on the broader crypto market. Given these factors, traders should exercise caution. Monitoring key support and resistance levels, along with staying informed about regulatory developments, is crucial for making informed decisions regarding TRUMP and the broader cryptocurrency market.
