Short XRP, tight stopTargets:
0.5580
0.5454 (should it occur)
Leaving small amount on the table if it runs deep
Stop: ~>=0.591
Reasoning:
High funding
VPR showing curved top
Felt like it
Notes:
Should be actively monitored, I don't trust trailing stops
I will not be actively monitoring this trade

VPR
Looking at possible retrace for bitcoin based on March futuresWhile spot/perps did not hit the holy $50000, many March futures did.
Mostly complete list of exchanges that breached $50000:
Deribit
OKEx
Huobi
Binance
FTX
BitMEX
Surprisingly, CME and Bakkt's March futures were unable to break over $50000. CME's June contract did, however.
REASONING
Futures play a huge role in leveraged trading. I have seen this happen with OKEx's quarterly contracts before. I don't expect a drop to doom, but I also do not expect bitcoin to rush into $50000 within the next few days.
Invalidation if March futures run 50k again and bring spot/perps along with it. Unsure of short target, would likely be ideal to buy the dips.
