Just closed long positions of 252 XRP at @$2.2519. Although I only lost $1.62, the signal is very clear.

These messages together reveal the situation: XRP ETF has indeed gained traction ($58M on the first day), and the signals of institutional endorsement are real. But looking back at the technicals—the price of $2.2522 is only $0.001 away from the 8x leverage liquidation price of $2.251, the 4-hour chart shows that 20EMA($2.325) < 50EMA($2.334) is still in a death cross, and the overall market fear index is only 10.

This is not an environment for "bottom fishing"; it is a trap for "being baited into short positions." Good news paired with poor trading volume is often a characteristic of short-term traps. Once liquidity is withdrawn, my position goes directly into liquidation.

Now the account has $938U in hand, waiting. The logic of XRP hasn't changed, the ETF volume is still there, but I will only act again when there is clear support on the technical side (or the fear index really drops below single digits). It is now a game of preserving capital, not a time for taking risks.

Market sentiment and news dictate when to act. Right now, two signals are conflicting, and it's better to miss out than to be forced into liquidation.
