Toncoin (TON) is a layer-1 blockchain that emerged back in 2018 from the creators of the secure messaging app Telegram. The project underwent a transformation after being handed over to the TON Foundation, leading to a name change from "Telegram Open Network" to "The Open Network."
Since 2020, the tech has seen progress thanks to a group of enthusiasts working without commercial interests, forming the TON Foundation. Toncoin, previously called Gram, serves as the native cryptocurrency on the TON network.
Originally, the plan was to integrate TON into a user-friendly app enabling fund transactions for users. Users pay fees and employ TON for transaction validation and payments. The Toncoin network relies on the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus model to ensure scalability and dependability. As per the project's website, the platform offers swift, transparent, and secure payment services, making transactions cost-effective and eliminating the need for third-party apps.

Not a huge fan of XRP, but I will concede the sheer amount of government connections the team has is definitely something to look into, its feverish fan base will no doubt pump it to new heights this bull run.
It hasn't died yet and to me that is indicative of the fact it will continue to survive and thirive.
Launched in 2021, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is an open-source, permissionless and decentralized technology. Benefits of the XRP Ledger include its low-cost ($0.0002 to transact), speed (settling transactions in 3-5 seconds), scalability (1,500 transactions per second) and inherently green attributes (carbon-neutral and energy-efficient). The XRP Ledger also features the first decentralized exchange (DEX) and custom tokenization capabilities built into the protocol. Since 2012, the XRP Ledger has been operating reliably, having closed 70 million ledgers.
Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, the XRPL uses a unique Federated Consensus mechanism as its method of validating transactions. Transactions are confirmed on the XRPL through a consensus protocol, in which designated independent servers called validators come to an agreement on the order and outcome of XRP transactions. All servers in the network process each transaction according to the same rules, and any transaction that follows the protocol is confirmed right away. All transactions are public and transparent, and anyone can operate a validator. There are currently over 150 validators on the ledger, operated by universities, exchanges, businesses, and individuals around the world.
Through the Federated Consensus mechanism, all verified transactions can be processed without a single point of failure as no single participant makes a decision independently.
XRP - BULLISH CHANNELRenewed interest in XRP is driven by three key indicators: a significant surge in real trading volume, a shift from declining to bullish market capitalization, and a consistent pattern of higher daily price lows. These positive signs point to a potential price surge, despite past challenges and legal developments surrounding XRP's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse. Investors are closely watching these developments for investment opportunities.

Bitcoin SV (BSV) Breaks Out of Slump, Soars 64% in Just 30 DaysThe post Bitcoin SV (BSV) Breaks Out of Slump, Soars 64% in Just 30 Days appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Bitcoin SV (BSV) has caught the crypto world’s eye with a remarkable 64% gain in the past month, thanks to its inclusion on Binance, one of the world’s top cryptocurrency exchanges.
This substantial increase came after BSV’s split from Bitcoin Cash (BCH) in late 2018, pushing its current trading price to $52.04, up significantly from just $34.08 a week ago.
BSV‘s Impact
BSV, a significant Bitcoin (BTC) fork and a proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrency in 2023, is making waves in October 2023, reaching a peak value of over $58 on major spot markets.
The key driver behind this surge is BSV’s listing on Binance, a major crypto exchange. BSV hasn’t seen such heights since mid-September 2022, and it’s not just a one-day wonder. BSV has been on a winning streak, climbing over 90% since its boost on September 27th.
It’s important to remember that BSV hit an all-time high of $491.64 during the last crypto craze but then took a hit, losing over 95% of its value. Now, it’s finding its stride again, especially after rumors of a Bitcoin ETF adoption.
SEC Steps In the Picture
The recent rise in Bitcoin SV’s (BSV) value has some experts linking it to the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF by the U.S. SEC.
This surge happens amidst ongoing disputes within the BSV community, most notably the resignation of Christen Ager-Hanssen, a prominent BSV supporter, from his role as CEO of nChain due to disagreements with BSV leader Craig Wright.
This surge sets the stage for possible new investors and a challenge against the formidable barrier at $61.99. Bitcoin SV’s journey remains captivating as it navigates the cryptocurrency market’s ups and downs.
Ripple's Resilience and Ambition: An In-Depth Look at XRP's caseOver the past few weeks, Ripple, the company behind the native token XRP, has been making waves in the cryptocurrency landscape. The convergence of several key developments has provided a bullish momentum for the company, strengthening its position and offerings in the digital asset arena. This article aims to dissect these significant developments and their potential ramifications.
1. Ripple Acquires Metaco: Expanding its Digital Asset Custody Capabilities
In a strategic move that underscores its commitment to growth and innovation in the digital asset space, Ripple acquired Swiss custody startup, Metaco for $250 million. Renowned for its secure digital asset management expertise across various applications, including blockchain technology, Metaco's incorporation into Ripple's operations promises to enrich its product offerings. This acquisition positions Ripple as an even more attractive option to financial institutions and individual users seeking comprehensive solutions for digital asset management.
2. Ripple Acquires Minority Stake in Bitstamp
Ripple has recently acquired a minority stake in Bitstamp, one of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges, previously owned by Pantera Capital. The specifics of the transaction remain undisclosed, but the move reflects Ripple's intent to expand its global presence and diversify beyond payments. This strategic investment strengthens Ripple's long-standing relationship with Bitstamp, which has served as a gateway for Ripple's XRP token.
3. Ripple Unveils Its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Platform
As countries worldwide show heightened interest in developing their digital currencies, Ripple has launched a dedicated platform for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). This innovative platform, built on a new private ledger that harnesses the power of the XRP Ledger, offers an end-to-end solution to central banks, governments, and financial institutions seeking to issue and manage their digital currencies. Ripple's CBDC Platform brings several advantages: ledger technology, issuer, operator, and end-user wallets are all part of the package. This comprehensive solution simplifies issuing and managing digital currencies, positioning Ripple as a critical partner for institutions venturing into CBDCs.
4. Ripple Unveils Its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Platformament to Ripple's Technological Prowess
Ripple's commitment to the CBDC space has been further reinforced with its inclusion in the Hong Kong e-HKD Pilot Program. As the only representative from the crypto sector, Ripple will leverage its extensive knowledge and experience in the settlement of tokenized assets. This involvement validates Ripple's technological capabilities and provides a real-world testing ground for its CBDC platform, potentially paving the way for future partnerships with central banks and governments.
5. SEC Court Rulings Favor Ripple: A Potential Game Changer
Recent court rulings have increasingly favored Ripple in the ongoing legal dispute between Ripple and the SEC, possibly setting a precedent for future cryptocurrency regulations. Central to the case is the Hinman letter, named after former SEC official William Hinman, who suggested in a 2018 speech that Ethereum should not be classified as a security. Ripple has sought public access to related internal SEC documents, believing they could support their defense that XRP, like Ethereum, isn't a security. On May 16, 2023, the court ordered these documents to be unsealed by June 13, 2023. Ripple's legal commitment, demonstrated by its projected $200 million in legal expenditures and recent victories and contradictions in SEC statements, may bolster its case that XRP is a digital currency, not a security. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the case's outcome, a win for Ripple could have far-reaching implications for the cryptocurrency industry. It could help solidify XRP's legal status in the US market.
Summary and price action
Ripple has proven its resilience and ambition through strategic initiatives, court victories, and partnerships. These developments, from acquiring Metaco and launching a CBDC platform to winning key court rulings and participating in Hong Kong's e-HKD Pilot Program, illustrate Ripple's potential to shape the future of digital currencies. The recent acquisition of a stake in Bitstamp further highlights Ripple's commitment to expanding its influence in the global cryptocurrency space. With these recent developments, Ripple strategically positions itself at the forefront of the rapidly evolving digital asset industry.
XRP has outperformed the entire market since the November 2021 peak, as it was one of the few tokens/coins that hadn't pumped much compared to the rest. In November 2020, XRP got hit by the SEC lawsuit and was delisted by all US exchanges, while most other coins remained on these platforms. Now Ripple is close to potentially even winning its case against the SEC, with some essential information coming out today, while the rest of the market is just starting to deal with the SEC. As seen by XRPUSD and XRPBTC, it looks like the chart is a massive accumulation base that is ready to explode higher. It seems like the market knows something and is anticipating a positive outcome from the court case. The SEC may lose many of its issues (against Ripple, Grayscale, and Coinbase), and these could boost the market massively. So even if Ripple loses this case, more fights could turn things around for XRP and the entire crypto market. Again, as XRP doesn't have to deal with delistings and is ahead of the curve, it is less risky than other coins/tokens, which might have a different fate.
Predicting Crypto's Journey Amid LawsuitsBefore anyone reads this idea, I'd recommend reading my previous two ideas about Coinbase and Grayscale. Definitely worth the read to get a better grasp of the current situation. The main ideas I will analyze are that the SEC suing Coinbase and Binance are the final things that had to happen before a Bitcoin ETF would be approved and that the SEC could lose some of its court battles against crypto companies. Then I will close with some solid technical and fundamental analysis of the current price action.
Wall Street Interests and the SEC's Anti-Crypto Native Firms Stance
The SEC seems to be trapped, as it has too many court cases open and won't be able to win all of them. It's currently struggling against Coinbase and its demands for clear regulations and, in its case against Grayscale too, which seems to be doing well in court. Against Grayscale and Coinbase, the SEC's cases are very weak. It's clear that the SEC was just stalling everything and damaging the US industry in the short to medium term so that the TradFi guys could take control. Now they've reached their limit, as the industry is coming together and attacking it en mass. The political pressure against the SEC has been mounting, which is why Blackrock has filed for its Bitcoin ETF. It's no coincidence that TradFi firms are coming out after the recent lawsuits and talking about how they want to get involved. The CFTC approved futures related products for Coinbase and the Cboe, confirming that other major players might want to be engaged at a higher level. Essentially it's not the SEC being anti-crypto; it's just the SEC being anti-crypto native firms and wanting to pave the way for Wall Street.
Securities, Market Manipulation, and the Complexities of SEC Approval
What's been super clear is that BTC isn't a commodity; however, for an ETF to be approved, the SEC had to deal with all shady exchanges and practices in the US. It would be impossible for them not to have dealt with Binance before approving an ETF. To me, it's clear that many of the services Coinbase and Binance are offering are securities, and it's also been clear that Binance has done many shady things in the past. The main issues for the SEC to approve an ETF would be that these exchanges would be trading securities along with Bitcoin, and market manipulation or an FTX-like collapse would create many issues. What is positive for Coinbase and Binance, though, despite my opinion about what is a security and what is not, is that the SEC approved of Coinbase's business model before it went public and that to this day, it still doesn't offer clear guidance for crypto firms.
Anticipated SEC Lawsuits and the Impact on Coinbase and Binance
Something significant to note is that nothing that has happened with Coinbase and Binance wasn't expected. We've had so much news about the SEC potentially suing both that it was almost priced in. Alts clearly got shocked, and they might feel even more pain if the SEC wins against Ripple, as some will probably be deemed securities. Yet beyond that, I don't think the SEC will get everything it wants. It has failed so spectacularly that the US judges won't be able to give it all it wants. It might have some wins, but overall, there is no way that it can damage the US industry too much. Of course, it can deal substantial damage; however, even if the SEC itself can't, the big players behind Blackrocks ETF might find other ways to shake out the weak hands before taking the market higher.
The Dawn of a New Era: A Turning Point in Crypto Regulations
It appears that we've reached a turning point in crypto regulations. It's unlikely that regulations could get any worse from here, which is a positive sign for the market. We're currently facing an environment with almost no significant regulatory risks, only potential regulatory upsides. The crypto market has demonstrated incredible resilience, adapting and evolving in ways that make it less susceptible to regulatory hindrances. The SEC is under increasing pressure to clarify its stance on crypto regulations, while other countries are stepping up and providing more precise guidelines, attracting a growing number of crypto businesses. This trend fosters the expansion of exchanges outside the US and the development of more favorable regulations for the crypto space. In my opinion, we will have regulatory clarity in the US by the end of the year.
An Outlook on the Crypto Market: Positive and Negative Factors
Some positives are 1. China is pumping liquidity into its economy, and as Hong Kong has just opened its doors to crypto, some of that liquidity will flow into crypto, 2. Celsius might convert alts into BTC and ETH (directing liquidity to these two), 3. Voyager distributing cash to creditors (some will go back into crypto), 4. FTX 2.0 is in the cards, which means that 2B USD could come back to the market, along with several altcoins that could be converted into BTC & ETH (FTX & Alameda don't have much BTC or ETH).
Some potential negatives are 1. Mt.Gox, Bitfinex & US Gov distributing/selling their BTC, 2. Bankrupt companies selling their coins/tokens, 3. Gemini/DCG going bankrupt and forced to be liquidated, 4. More lawsuits and losing court battles, 5. Stock market collapse.
Uncertain Stock Market Conditions and Crypto Performance
Number 5 is something I would like to clarify here, as stocks may have topped. Nothing is certain, but we need to be aware of the situation. Yesterday we had a Triple Witching (a term used in the stock market to describe the simultaneous expiration of three different types of derivative contracts, namely stock options, stock index futures, and stock index options, all on the same trading day. This happens four times a year, on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December.), and we will have a three-day weekend.
This is the perfect setting for a top, especially as SPX has hit SPX hit 4450 and my BBs with STD 3 upper band, Nasdaq swept its Q1 2022 highs, and Russell 3000 the breakdown zone, while all are extremely overbought. Yields keep going higher, as Oil, Natural Gas, Wheat, Corn, etc. show strength, which could push rates and the dollar higher, and therefore risk assets could have a dip. Finally, based on some sentiment-related data, we could be close to an extreme point in stock prices. In my opinion, this is not the time to take excessive risks but the time to take profits on stocks.
That doesn't mean crypto will collapse, as crypto has been underperforming for months and usually moves along with stocks. Therefore, if it were to simply catch up with tech stocks, 33k would be an easy target. The best way to express bullishness in the long term is to bet on BTC, ETH, GBTC, and COIN, and I would avoid any other coins for now.
Technical Analysis
GBTC had a massive collapse, its discount was near 50% (relative to BTC), and it rallied to fill a major gap. Filled the gap, had a correction, retested the breakout zone, bottomed there, and is now going up. If someone buys GBTC here, they will make 75% extra on their trade when that discount closes relative to how much they would have made by simply holding BTC.
BITO was down 25%. Partially filled an FVG on a gap down and bottomed there. It has several gaps to fill higher, but only a few lower. The gaps higher are pretty important, as some of them are double/triple gaps (gaps within gaps), making them more critical.
BTC and ETH on CME have some important gaps higher that could be acting like magnets, but both are at resistance now. BTC is at the horizontal and Fibonacci pivot resistance combo, while ETH is testing its critical breakdown zone.
Overall, Bitcoin has some double/triple tops higher or FVGs, which is liquidity ready to be tapped. However, that holds for levels lower too. The most important levels right now are 27500, 30000, 33000, 35300, and 37500 to the upside and 22600, 21000, 18500, 14000, and 12500 to the downside.
Bitcoin seems to have formed the perfect bottom after it formed two double bottoms, one at 25800 and one at 25350, both of which got broken slowly, and the final leg down hit the 25200 breakout zone. It actually fell below 25000, which was a round number, and trapped shorts, which thought the break below 25000 would be very bearish.
Finally, it also seems to be within a massive falling wedge, but it's unclear which direction it will take. There is a potential trap in either direction, so I wouldn't want to read too much into it. My view is that someone should respect all the levels I have mentioned and potentially take profits or place entries for short to medium-term trades on them.
XRP 6.62% Growth (SEC Drops Lawsuit)!XRP has gained 6.62% growth within the last 24 hours, on the back of good news that the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission) drops their lawsuit against two Ripple Labs executives. The original charge claimed that the blockchain company violated U.S. security laws by selling unregistered securities. The SEC is now taking back that claim.
From a technical stance, this should give XRP buyers the opportunity to take out the previous, pending liquidity sitting at $0.55 which is another 5.90% growth from current market price.
BTC - FAKE ETF News cause BULL-trap👎Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators of Charts📈📉
There has been interesting volatility on BTC in the past 24 hours, with fake news being released on X, alleging that the SEC approved Blackrock's iShare spot ETF (they haven't).
Directly from the Cointelegraph website, 16 hours ago:
"Earlier today, during routine coverage, Cointelegraph’s social media team posted a message on X without prior editorial approval stating that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission had approved BlackRock’s iShares spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, or ETF. This was false, the result of misinformation. The news lead originated from an unconfirmed screenshot posted by an X user who claimed it was from the Bloomberg Terminal. "
Pretty much immediately after this article, the price started to retrace. It seems to me like severe insider trading / purposeful deceit. Interestingly enough, the price turned at EXACTLY 30K which seems very unnatural. It will be interesting to see whether the SEC reacts to this, or if it's just another day in crypto.
Luckily, as per all our previous posts on altcoins, I'm not trading BTC at the moment. Reason being I was expecting algo's on Bitcoin, as range trading often attracts bots. My focus is still on altcoins at the moment.

BITSTAMP:BTCUSD COINBASE:BTCUSD BINANCE:BTCUSDT KUCOIN:BTCUSDT
BITCOIN SPOT ETF RUMOURS!Bitcoin (BTCUSD) has spiked up by an enormous 2,090 PIPS (7.50%) in the last hourly candle, on the rumour that a Bitcoin Spot ETF application has been approved by the SEC.
BlackRock has come out to deny it, calling it 'fake news'. Just like that market crashed back down & wiped out its 7.50% gain. In the process trapping a lot of new buyers, taking out sellers & liquidating them both in the process.
Ask yourself, who gains at times like this? The average, everyday person? No. It's the governments & institutions who release these rumours, in order to screw the everyday investor who doesn't know how to professionally operate in the markets.
🔥 Bitcoin Spot ETF Approved: BUY THE RUMOR & SELL THE NEWS 🚨The BTC spot ETF has finally been approved, but will it result in the massive bullish pump that EVERYONE has been expecting.
My answer: No.
It's public knowledge that the Bitcoin spot ETF will be approved at some point now for months. Thus, most traders have already bought a position in anticipation.
Like nearly every ETH/BTC ETF news we got this year, I'm anticipating this to be a Sell The News event.
If there's something that I've learned over the years, it would be that if everyone expects a certain outcome, the opposite will often happen.
Yes, this is long-term great news for Bitcoin. However, I highly doubt we're going to see the massive shift in trend that people have been hoping for.
Nevertheless, I'm happy to be wrong, as a new high this year would definitely be against my expectation. The market has to prove it wants to go up first before I believe it.
Be warned.
Similarity again. The world of fractals is astonishing, if we follow this similarity, the bearish trend should resume until April, therefore before the next Halving and when SEC will accept spot BTC ETFs :)

XRP - Failure as a CryptoCurrency ? Deep Thoughts 💭Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators of Charts📈📉
For those who have been following me here for a while, you'll know that I've always been a notorious fan of XRP.
I used to be a true "believer", #xrparmy and the whole deal. Followed all the XRP pimps (such as BlockchainBacker ) on Twitter back when Twitter was still blue... but recently, I'm starting to develop some serious doubts about the fundamentals of this altcoin. And I'm going to level with you here. These are just my thoughts, and you are still entitled to your own opinions infact we encourage it.
As a trader; I can't help but notice the unusual price action on XRP compared to other coins. Did you know that XRP is one of VERY FEW altcoins / cryptos that has been unable to reclaim it's ATH for years after? Even with the benefit of being one of the first titans in crypto. Other coins have long surpassed their ATH's. But XRP made one high, and never again. This speaks of weakness in terms of value. And that can no longer be ignored.
The unfortunate truth about XRP is that the trading volume is low, and buyers are not keen to buy XRP due to it's ever increasing unpopularity. This directly creates weak support zones and strong resistance zones, as there is little confidence in the coin and bag holders are all waiting for the first best opportunity to sell. Short term traders would rather take losses than hold indefinitely.
XRP has become more and more unpopular over the course of time because of it's "Pump and Dump" price action. The SEC case and the whole controversy about the Taco stand (founders holding millions and dumping on the market) also didn't help.
Don't misunderstand. I will still trade XRP. The big difference in my approach, is the matter of accumulating. I've been accumulating XRP since about forever. And I have decided I will no longer accumulate. Instead, as soon as the price reaches higher than what I bought for, I will be looking to sell my bags. Considering this argument and the fact that I'm probably not alone in this approach, you can see from a trading perspective how dire this outlook is for support and resistance zones.
This is a real pity and hits close to my heart. It's hard to let go of an ideology you've held and defended for years. I really believed in the promise of a coin for institutions, cross border settlements etc. But unfortunately, as a trader, it makes no sense to hold a coin for years, no matter what great promises were made by the creators of Ripple. The truth is, if I bought as much DOGE as I did XRP, my portfolio would have been up x100 compared to now. This is sad, considering that DOGE and many others, like PEPE, are meme coins and hold no real fundamental value. The fact that meme coins do better than a coin " created for banking and large institutions " is a shock. And here's where you have to ask yourself... was it really?
💭So, what's the trading plan from here for XRPUSDT ?
If you must trade it... Buy low, sell high. I'll keep making updates on SHORT and NEAR TERM targets. But LONG term targets are too hard to speculate. Focus on technical indicators and trendlines alone to get price targets. No more fundamental-analysis "value" targets.

CRYPTOCAP:XRP BINANCE:XRPUSDT BITSTAMP:XRPUSD
8K BTC MACRO Correction Potential 5050Every day the BTC chart begins to tell a story that only gets clearer by the day.
When rich men have goods to sell they advertise and when assets have been distributed into primarily the hands of the public the public runs out of money and begins to sell.
Given what I see on these charts I find it no coincidence that the richest institutions are magically bullish on crypto at high time frame resistance looking to load up for ETF’s. They are business men with goods to sell and the best for a reason.
Time and price are currently balanced at only the 50% retrace level of our last bull run. If BTC rotates to the down side it will be balanced again at the outside edge of the red circle which also is a perfect correlation with a trend time cycle and typical oscillations of the Fibonacci number ratios people like to trade so frequently.
For the first time BTC finds it’s self with monthly divergence on both rsi’s and money flow. Also for the first time has a macro double top followed by its first engulfing candle on a yearly chart. Finally has diminishing returns at exactly 15 degrees of time vs price and on its last one before going flat.
Until it's invalidated by braking our current level and holds it what is on this chart will be the main operating principle at which I trade by moving forward from today until we break the high and it is invalidated or we reach out final low.
IF we don’t brake above and retest I will be targeting 8k BTC and covering for a massive rally at 50% of the way down. Entry will be brake of trend.
Institutions are after your stacks and have more than enough money to short everybody and their brother out of the market and are advertising that you should buy..... THEY HAVE GOODS TO SELL
Currently NEUTRAL but heavily favoring this model the more time that passes without braking this level.
Trade Well. Invalidation is brake above and retest current level.
Lesson not Learned? Read again 💀🔥Crypto can be a very dark place. One needs to do research, learn and set rules.
RULE NUMBER ONE (again):
Never trust a person/team which keeps launching more and more tokens/projects
Simple as that.
Let's not blame this one on the SEC... This is purely crypto hill-billie Richard Heart and you had been warned...
I love crypto - I hate these people... let's show them the boot!
Next Richard Heart?
Look at XEN... he is next (the same)
Fool me once...never twice!
One Love,
The FXPROFESSOR
PS. The good crypto will prevail eventually.. Regulate it but please regulate it right.
news: SEC accuses crypto influencer Richard Heart of securities fraud in new lawsuit: blockworks.co (nobody should be surprised for this one)
Coinbase ($COIN): Opportunity or failure?In mid-long term we are not so much bearish about NASDAQ:COIN and we think that the bulk of the descent has already been done. Although potentially a bearish structure (wave 5) could still be missing, by the end of 2023 we expect a rally around 110 area . At this moment we are obviously not talking about trading but about some interesting investment opportunities.
Of course we can't help thinking about what happened last week, but at the same time we think that sooner or later the Company will be able to meet all the clarification requests from the SEC.
Trade with care!

Cheers!
XRP Price Target after Court approves FTX LiquidationGiven the recent developments in the crypto space, there are several factors that point towards a bearish outlook:
FTX Liquidation of $3.4 Billion in Crypto Assets: The approval by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court for FTX to liquidate $3.4 billion in crypto assets is a significant event. This influx of a substantial amount of cryptocurrency into the market could potentially lead to an oversupply situation. When a large amount of assets is dumped into the market at once, it can put downward pressure on prices.
Limited Sales in the First Week: The imposed limit of $50 million for the first week indicates a controlled release of these assets. This may imply that FTX anticipates potential market disruption if a large volume is sold at once. However, even with controlled release, the market could still experience downward pressure.
Potential for Increased Limits: The provision for increasing the limit with the approval of the creditors’ committee and ad hoc committee, or potentially even up to $200 million weekly with court approval, shows that there's room for further selling pressure in the coming weeks.
Binance US CEO Resignation: The resignation of Binance US President and CEO, Brian Shroder, could potentially signal internal challenges within the exchange. Leadership changes in major crypto exchanges can lead to uncertainty and can impact market sentiment.
Asset List: The assets listed for liquidation include some of the major cryptocurrencies in the market such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, WBTC, WETH, USDT, SOL, XRP, STG, APT, BIT, DOGE, MATIC, FTT, TON and more. If a significant portion of these assets are sold off, it could have a widespread impact on the market.
Market Sentiment and Confidence: These events combined might lead to a loss of confidence in the crypto market, especially if investors perceive them as signs of instability or potential oversupply.
Regulatory Considerations: The fact that a bankruptcy court is involved in this process highlights the regulatory environment surrounding cryptocurrencies. Heightened regulatory scrutiny or intervention can have a dampening effect on the market.
Considering the above, my Price Target for XRP Bitcoin is $20.38.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
BTC FAKEOUT As Grayscale Wins SECBuy the rumor, sell the news...
Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators of Charts📈📉
Grayscale Investments, the world's largest digital asset manager, sued the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July 2022 after the SEC rejected its application to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Grayscale argued that the SEC's decision was arbitrary and capricious, and that it violated the Administrative Procedure Act. The SEC had previously approved bitcoin futures ETFs, which track agreements to buy or sell bitcoin at a pre-agreed price, but had rejected spot bitcoin ETFs, which track the actual price of bitcoin.
On August 29, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled in favor of Grayscale, saying that the SEC had failed to adequately explain its decision to reject the application. The court said that the SEC had not shown that there was a "material difference" between spot bitcoin ETFs and bitcoin futures ETFs, and that the SEC's concerns about fraud and manipulation were "speculative."
The court's decision is a major victory for Grayscale and the broader cryptocurrency industry. It could pave the way for the approval of the first spot bitcoin ETF in the United States, which would be a major milestone for the industry.
Unsurprisingly, the price of BTC reacted to the news. But when we consider technical analysis, it seems more like a fakeout / bulltrap.
👉 Perfect rejection at 200d Moving Averages
👉 The price was already oversold on the RSI, upside was to be expected regardless
👉 "Event" price action is usually bad price action (remember how the price of XRP jumped after SEC victory ruling just to fall all the way back down again)
For now, the best course of action seems to be observing from the sideline and look for other trading opportunities with better risk/reward setups across the altcoin market.

We Have Our Answer!Traders,
A few posts ago, you will see that (2) two gaps were being focused on. The question was posed about which might be filled first. Many of my followers understand that my bias was to the upside gap being filled first. Thanks to the Blackrock ETF approval, this has occurred. And, as I stated in my video yesterday, I have unloaded 50% of ALL my positions (alts included), taken profits, and moved my stops up to break even. I will let the remainder ride for now and hopefully take the rest off at the 50 day ma of the SPOT BTC chart which intersect exactly with the bottom of that important support (now resistance) which I talked about in yesterday's video at 28,750. If we don't hit that and I get stopped out instead, no issue cuz I move all my stops to break even and will take no loss now.
There still remain (2) two unfilled gaps: one at 20,290 from March of this year and one at 35,180 from May of last year. I still believe both will be filled soon. Stay tuned for more on this unfolding price action as, through charting research, I hope to gain a better grasp on how it will go.

Beautiful Inverse head and Shoulders on #HEXWell we are finally getting clarity on Richard's Case against the SEC
A initial meeting has scheduled between the lawyers and the judge to explore what kind of disco very is needed in this civil suit.
A Trial is length and costly for everyone. SEC, The Courtroom. and RH
The Judge could throw this out right there on the spot? Me not being a legal expert I can't comment...
But the price chart is showing how quickly the mood can change.
All I know , Once Richard is "Free" I want exposure to #Pulsechain
which just being a copy of Ethereum clearly not a security.
XRP RECOVERY AND GROWTH SCENARIOGateHub and XRPL Labs have joined forces to improve the XRPL network. They're making it easier to move assets between XRPL and other networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This partnership adds 14 new assets, including popular ones like BTC and ETH, making crypto payments more convenient. The goal is to increase the use of XRP and other digital assets and promote cooperation between different blockchains. This news has excited the XRP community, as it simplifies fund transfers and enhances the XRPL ecosystem. The recent addition of Uphold's Topper innovation also makes it easier to convert fiat to crypto within the Xumm wallet. This collaboration is a big step forward for blockchain networks and cryptocurrency adoption.
Risk Disclosure: Trading Foreign Exchange (Forex) and Contracts of Difference (CFD's) carries a high level of risk. By registering and signing up, any client affirms their understanding of their own personal accountability for all transactions performed within their account and recognizes the risks associated with trading on such markets and on such sites. Furthermore, one understands that the company carries zero influence over transactions, markets, and trading signals, therefore, cannot be held liable nor guarantee any profits or losses.
BNB Binance Coin Sell Opportunity? BNB (Binance Coin) may face potential downside risks as a bearish outlook looms over the cryptocurrency. The recent surge in price could be seen as a sell or short opportunity, primarily due to the ongoing lawsuit against Binance by the US Federal Reserve (FED).
The FED lawsuit raises concerns about regulatory scrutiny and potential consequences for Binance, which could have a negative impact on the value and reputation of BNB. If the lawsuit results in unfavorable outcomes for Binance, it may weigh heavily on the coin's performance in the market.
Investors considering BNB should carefully evaluate the potential risks associated with the regulatory uncertainty surrounding Binance.
My short term price target for BNB is $225.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
