$1 for XRP could be gone in days if this continues
According to recent indications on XRP's chart, the asset may face an impending decline, despite a notable surge above the $1 level. Currently, XRP is trading at $1.12, but its inability to climb to higher levels suggests a potential loss of momentum among buyers, putting the technical and psychological assistance at $1 in jeopardy. The following important support zones are located at $0.75 and $0.69, and if XRP drops below this threshold, it could increase selling pressure. Additionally, a high Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that the market may be overheated, which historically resulted in significant corrections. As trading volumes decline and macro conditions remain volatile, it is crucial to monitor the $1 support zone closely, as its breakdown could lead to substantial losses for the asset.
$2.5 billion mega Shiba Inu (SHIB) whale revealed: Could this be Ryoshi?
In a recent X post, Bubblemaps blockchain analytics platform shared that it found a Shiba Inu whale holding $2.5 billion worth of the meme crypto. This entity, which manages 10% of SHIB's total supply, operates from approximately 150 addresses. As a reminder, Shiba Inu was launched on July 31, 2020, with the deployer wallet 0xb8f2 holding about half of the total supply. However, between August and October 2020, another player, "0x1406," appeared, and acquired 103 trillion SHIB tokens for just 38 ETH, a mere $10,000 at the time. With SHIB's meteoric rise, this initial investment has grown by an astonishing 25,000,000%, now worth over $2.5 billion. According to Bubblemaps's report, it appears that the wallet has maintained most of its SHIB holdings since the beginning. Some in the SHIB community speculate that this wallet could belong to Ryoshi, the enigmatic founder of Shiba Inu, who stepped away from social media in 2021.
