BLOCK MECHANIC

Against the backdrop of the recent decline in the cryptocurrency market, the Bitcoin investment company Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, has seen its large Bitcoin holdings turn into a loss.

According to data from the blockchain analysis platform Arkham, Strategy currently holds approximately 713,000 Bitcoins, making it the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder. However, with the recent market adjustment, the current price of Bitcoin has fallen below its average purchase cost, placing these assets in a state of 'unrealized loss.'

Market under pressure
This decline occurs against the backdrop of a weak overall digital asset market. Due to rising interest rates, reduced institutional capital inflows, and funds flowing into traditional safe-haven assets like gold, the price of Bitcoin continues to face pressure.

In recent years, the movement of $XRP has been more centered around court developments.
By 2026, market focus has shifted to a core issue - actual trading volume and real network usage.
In the past few weeks, I have been continuously tracking the liquidity bridging data of RLUSD on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). On-chain data is telling a story, while the current price seems yet to fully reflect this change.
1. Technical 'compression zone': Why is $1.40 so critical?
After spiking to $2.40 in January, XRP retraced about 40%, shaking out a lot of chasing funds. Structurally, this looks more like a healthy retest confirmation rather than a trend ending.

1. Technical 'Compression Zone': Why is $1.40 so critical?
After peaking at $2.40 in January, XRP corrected about 40%, washing out a lot of late investors. From a structural perspective, this seems more like a healthy pullback confirmation rather than a trend ending.
Current prices hover around the support area of $1.43–$1.50, which has served as a launch platform multiple times over the past six months.

💡 My judgment:
When an asset enters a narrow range after a significant rise, it often indicates that momentum is building. Exchange balances have dropped to near seven-year lows, and the supply side is contracting. If it can maintain $1.40 this week amidst macro fluctuations, the next upward phase could be very rapid.

2. Real-world implementation: RLUSD liquidity bridge has been put into operation
What truly deserves attention is not social media hype, but actual application progress.
Ripple USD (RLUSD) has gradually entered the cross-border settlement system, especially in the Southeast Asia corridor. On-chain data shows that RLUSD currently accounts for about 15% of cross-border settlement flows in the region.
This means real use cases:
Every RLUSD settlement requires XRP to complete network processing and value transfer.
This is not emotion-driven trading volume, but rather functional demand related to financial infrastructure.
3. Market sentiment: from being overlooked to revaluation
Many holders have experienced the sideways movement of XRP while other cryptocurrencies have seen rapid increases. This 'patience' has shaped the cohesion of the XRP community.
Historical experience shows that low-key positioning by institutions often appears unremarkable until a true price revaluation occurs.
The narrative is shifting from the 'legal battle phase' to the 'institutional application phase.'
We are transitioning from the 'court era' to the 'board era.'

4. Simple understanding of how XRPL operates
You can imagine the XRP Ledger as a global digital highway.
Vehicles: Different currencies (USD, EUR, RLUSD, etc.)
Bridge/Passage mechanism: XRP
As more funds enter this highway, assets taking on the role of the bridge naturally become more important.
The greater the traffic flow, the higher the value of the bridge.
This is essentially a supply-demand relationship driven by network usage.
5. Price scenario outlook for 2026
💬 XRP market sentiment update
🔥 Bullish scenario:
If the daily price firmly holds above $1.65, along with increased ETF inflows, there is a chance for the price to challenge the range of $3.80–$4.50, forming a new trend momentum.
🤝 Neutral scenario:
Prices may fluctuate in the range of $1.40–$1.80. This range is suitable for dollar-cost averaging (DCA) and gradually building long-term positions.
⚠️ Bearish scenario:
If the overall market experiences a significant pullback, XRP may test the $0.95–$1.10 range. The $1.00 psychological level remains a critical observation point.
2026 Conclusion: Focus on the underlying architecture rather than market noise
The gap between application value and market pricing is narrowing.
Instead of waiting for sudden good news, it’s better to focus on on-chain data and the growth of real use cases.
If below $1.00 is the early positioning stage, then the current fluctuations around $1.40 may be the last relatively rational entry point of the year.
Are you scaling in near support levels, or waiting for a breakout above $2.00 to confirm the trend?

Bitcoin is currently still in a consolidation phase, mainly trading in the 60,000–70,000 USD range. After a previous rapid decline and rebound, market momentum has noticeably slowed, which usually means the market is building strength rather than choosing a direction immediately.

The consolidation structure is very clear

BTC has repeatedly found support around 60K while facing resistance in the 70K–72K area. This sideways movement indicates a temporary balance of supply and demand, which is a typical pattern before the trend starts.

Currently, there is no confirmed trend, and the market remains primarily in a range-bound oscillation.

After Bitcoin has dominated all market attention for several weeks, some interesting changes are happening in the 'underwater' of the crypto market.
Funds are rotating...
Altcoins are back in the spotlight.
This is not a coincidence.
If you are trading or investing in the crypto market, this matter is far more important than you think.
What exactly happened?
🔥 Bitcoin remains firmly in a key range, but upward momentum is clearly slowing.
Historically, this has happened repeatedly: when BTC enters consolidation, funds start to look for higher-risk, higher-return opportunities.

This is no coincidence.
If you're trading or investing in the crypto market, this is much more important than you might think.

After weeks where Bitcoin captured all the attention, something interesting is happening beneath the surface of the crypto market.
Capital starts to rotate... and altcoins are back in the conversation.

It's no coincidence. And if you trade or invest in crypto, this matters more to you than you think.

What's really going on?
🔥 Bitcoin has remained strong near key areas, but its momentum has slowed down.
When BTC stabilizes, historically the same happens: money seeks more risk.

Being forcibly liquidated is not always due to an entry error; more often, it is due to poor position management. Many traders invest too much capital too early, leaving almost no room for maneuver.

The method I personally use is to invest only 1% of my wallet funds on the first entry. This effectively controls emotions and protects the principal when the market is unfavorable.

If the trade incurs a floating loss, but my logic still holds, I will invest another 1% at a better price position instead of panicking or over-leveraging. This approach can optimize the average cost while keeping the overall risk within an acceptable range.

Bitcoin has recently entered a consolidation phase, and the market is generally focused on one question: When will the rebound occur? Historically, after experiencing a rapid decline or significant volatility, Bitcoin often enters a period of consolidation to digest selling pressure and rebuild market structure.
Rebounds typically occur when selling pressure gradually weakens, prices stabilize at key support levels, and long-term holders continue to accumulate. At the same time, improvements in the macro environment, a rise in risk appetite, and increased spot demand have also repeatedly become important catalysts for price recovery in past cycles.
