CZ, Michael Saylor, Tom Lee lose billions amid historic XRP opportunity
Amid one of the worst single days of notional losses in crypto history, a historic opportunity is setting up with XRP.
Amid one of the worst single days of notional losses in crypto history, a historic opportunity is setting up with XRP, as discussed yesterday in a YouTube Red Alert on LeviCrypto.
With Brian Armstrong’s Coinbase, Michael Saylor’s Strategy, Tom Lee’s Bitmine, Changpeng Zhao’s Binance, and other major crypto companies losing billions of dollars in market capitalization within just 24 hours, XRP is forming a generational chart for deeper analysis.
Quick note before we continue, high-volatility periods like this are where smart traders focus on execution, risk management, and reliable platforms. More on that below.
Market Context
Crypto markets continued to mirror the losses yesterday of other assets for alternative currency speculation like gold and silver, down 5% and 37% over the past five business days, respectively. Total crypto market cap, in comparison, fell 25% over the same time period.
XRP has bounced decisively from yesterday’s low, mounting a dramatic turnaround that my subscribers enjoyed. After falling from $1.51 to a low of $1.13 yesterday, as I analyzed for you at the time, XRP immediately rebounded 29% as of the New York morning trading session – drawing its largest daily green candle in months.
At the same time, geopolitical tensions in Iran continue to mount, fallout over the Epstein Files continues, China is launching another crypto crackdown, and other headlines (see below) continue to pile up in the final business day of the week.
