I was the lead market maker at Jump.
I'm no longer under NDA so I can say this,
Typically when you see down moves during the weekends like this, it is pure market manipulation.
It was one of the tactics I invented during the low volume moments.
We would load up and pay attention to Crypto Twitter as a source of sentiment, with specific accounts organized in specific categories.
One thing I used to like doing was purposely "nuking" a new 4H candle on BTC and/or ETH, which was an easy trap.
"Smart" traders know we'll eventually revisit those wickless candles, so it was good bait for me to set with eager buyers stepping in and the candle continuing lower.
They end up capitulating before we reverse.
Bottom shorters get comfortable here too.
Anyway, I can't give away too much but just know,
Most of thos "bad" price action you're seeing is a group of "whales" sitting in a chatroom together and merely oil painting on charts.
My alias in Jump was "Vincent van Gogh."
And that isn't because I lost my mind [well - that too],
But because I painted some of the best looking bear traps.
I know an influenced painter copying my work when I see one.
Stay safe.

Some thoughts on maximalism… let me say this as clearly as I can – the crypto industry has a real shot, here and now, to achieve the many goals we have in common, IF we work together instead of tearing each other down. This is not, and never will be, a zero-sum game.
• I own XRP, BTC, and ETH among a handful of others – we live in a multichain world, and I’ve advocated for a level-playing field, instead of one token versus another.
• If a govt digital asset reserve is created - I believe it should be representative of the industry, not just one token (whether it be BTC, XRP or anything else).
• Maximalism remains the enemy of crypto progress, and I’m very glad to see fewer and fewer folks ascribe to this outdated and misinformed thinking.
📢 Unpopular Fact About Market Cap! 📢
Market cap is NOT the total money in a market—it’s a theoretical number. Just because a coin has a $1B market cap doesn’t mean $1B flowed in.
It’s last price × supply- Don’t be fooled! 💥

🚨 XRP Update! 🚨
#XRP hit $3.24 and rejected a couple of times, but I believe this 3rd attempt could finally flip it into support! 🎯 Expect some consolidation between $3.24-$3.33 before a breakout... 🚀
We’ve already hit the major W4 target at $2.88, so now it’s about flipping these local levels into support before the takeoff to W5 at $3.80.
⚠️ Reminder: A new high is required to confirm the W5 target. Until then, all retrace levels remain valid. Stay flexible, calculated, and be ready! 🩷

The truth lies in omission.
When the third largest crypto ( $XRP ) is unmentioned by Trump, by Elon, by the administration. There is a reason. It's because they are doing something on the backend. There is a non-secret that the elites, the media, banks, and everyone else that has taken the time to research it knows.
XRP is the one.

🚨 XRP Playing Out as Expected! 🚨
Over the weekend, #XRP performed exactly as anticipated, reaching the .382 retracement level. 🎯On Binance, the deepest low was $2.83, and it’s incredible to see how pivotal this level turned out to be!! 🚀
Take a close look at the candle bodies- While there’s a wick lower, the close ultimately respected the .382 retracement. 😍 From here, we’re expecting a push towards a new high, with the $3.80 area being the next major target—this aligns with the previous all-time highs seen on other exchanges...
🔥 Exciting times ahead! 🔥 Remember, this will be new territory on Binance, these levels have never been printed or tested before. 👀 I am NOT expecting much resistance before breaking towards double-digits 🚀
