- *Catalysts*: CLARITY Act Senate vote ∼48% odds. ETF accumulation continues. Ripple Prime in DTCC rails.
- *Targets*: Bitwise $4.94 base, Standard Chartered $2.80, Coinpedia $3.40-$9.50 if $2.50 clears.
Bearish*:
- *Leverage Over ETFs*: Futures volume dwarfs spot ETF flows. Technical breakdown below $1.10 shifted sentiment.
- *Whale Risk*: Large holders control 74.1% supply. Active addresses halved. Exchange balances still shrinking but price falling.
- *Macro*: BTC dominance 56%. AI-stock rotation draining crypto capital.
Bottom line*: XRP defending $1.00 after losing $1.10 support. Hold $1.00 = base for $1.08-$1.15 retest. Daily close below $1.00 = most bearish signal of 2026, opens $0.90. Reclaim MA(99) at $1.08 shifts narrative. CLARITY Act + ETF momentum = key catalysts.
