Ripple’s XRP has been one of the hottest cryptos in the market thanks to its 
impressive price performance, especially after US President Donald Trump’s 
reelection. Trading below $1 for most of 2024, XRP hits its stride days after 
the November elections, breaking the $1 level on November 6th, and the $2 
barrier by December 2nd, then surging past $3.30 on January 18th. Now, Ripple 
is back in the news for moving 200 million XRPs valued at around $457 million. 
This massive transfer, often associated with “whale transactions,” caught the 
attention of many and has led many to speculate. Related Reading: TRUMP Token

Interestingly, Ripple regularly transfers XRPs, including its scheduled

circulation. Although the majority of Ripple’s transactions are routine, this 
recent transaction gained some attention for its size and timing. 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨

Market Waiting For Decision On SEC Vs. Ripple Ripple’s latest huge asset 
transfer comes when the SEC’s case against Ripple is nearing its settlement. 
According to some reliable sources, the delay in the case’s resolution is 
caused by Ripple’s efforts to negotiate a favorable settlement. One 
controversial issue in the case is the August district court ruling, which 
fined Ripple $125 million and restricted the company from selling its native 
token to institutional buyers. XRP’s Price Roadmap As Ripple continues its 
negotiations with the SEC, investors and traders actively watch the token’s 
market performance. According to some analysts, the token has already 
completed its price correction using a four-hour time frame. There are plenty 
of price predictions for XRP, with some commentators saying it can initially 
hit $2.42 before making a run. Once XRP’s price emerges from the “Ichimoku 
clouds”, it is expected to hit higher highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin And S&amp;P 
Decline Together, But Data Predicts A Turnaround Currently, the token’s 
support is at $2.04 and $2.22, and many expect XRP to face short-term 
volatility. However, the token’s biggest push will come from a favorable 
resolution of its SEC case and if it happens, analysts expect the price to 
reach $4.25, or even $5.80. Featured image from Newsbit, chart from

Polkadot (DOT) has been quietly building a strong foundation, with its price 
stabilizing after a period of volatility. This consolidation phase often 
serves as a launching pad for a potential upward move as buyers step in. 
Traders are now eyeing key resistance levels, which, if broken, could trigger 
a short-term rally. As the crypto market shows signs of recovery, DOT’s 
technical setup and fundamentals suggest that a bullish breakout might be on 
the horizon. Could this be the start of a fresh rally for Polkadot? Market 
Sentiment Improves As Polkadot Holds Steady DOT is exhibiting resilience as it 
continues to hold firm above the $3.5 support zone, signaling a potential 
shift in market sentiment. This stability is a positive sign, suggesting that 
selling pressure is subsiding, allowing bullish momentum to build gradually. 
The market’s confidence in Polkadot appears to be improving, as reflected by 
steady buying interest and a noticeable slowdown in bearish activity. Related

$4.8 Moreover, DOT’s resilience amid broader market shifts highlights its 
ability to attract demand at current levels. If market sentiment continues to 
improve, an upward push could be imminent. However, a decisive move above key 
resistance levels is needed to confirm a sustained recovery and prevent 
prolonged consolidation or a possible retracement. A key bullish signal 
emerges from the MACD indicator, which is gradually rising toward the average, 
hinting at a potential shift in momentum. This upward movement suggests that 
bearish pressure is fading, allowing buyers to regain control and build 
confidence in a possible trend reversal. As the MACD line approaches the 
average, buying interest has risen, which could translate into a stronger push 
toward higher price levels. If this trend continues, it may serve as an early 
indication of a breakout attempt. Short-Term Rally Or Fakeout? Key Levels To 
Monitor Polkadot’s price stability has sparked hopes for a short-term rally, 
but traders remain cautious about the possibility of a fakeout. Key resistance 
and support levels will be crucial in determining the next move. Related

A breakout above the $4.8 resistance level could serve as a strong 
confirmation of upside momentum, signaling increased buyer interest. Should 
this level be successfully breached, DOT may gain the necessary traction to 
push higher, targeting the resistance zones at $6.2 and $7.7. However, failure 
to sustain upward movement may indicate a lack of strong buying pressure, 
leading to a retracement toward $3.5. Monitoring price action around critical 
levels, volume, and technical indicators will be essential in assessing 
whether Polkadot is gearing up for a true breakout or merely experiencing a 
temporary uptick. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com
