XRP price movements have remained constrained to a tight range between $2.3 and $2.6 over the last few days, with the former reappearing after the market decline. This pullback was expected especially after the XRP price had risen so much in such a small amount of time. With the pullback nearing completion, it signals that the next phase of the trend might be getting started.

XRP Price Moves From Wave A Into Wave B

As the XRP price dipped with the rest of the market between Wednesday and Friday, it slowly marked the end of a phase with its drawdown to $2.36. Crypto analyst Dark Defender explains this in an X (formerly Twitter) post, where he showed where the altcoin is now and where it could be headed next.

Dark Defender referred to the price drawdown as the first leg of the correction in the 4-Hour Time Frame. This comes after the price was able to retest $2.59 in the first wave, which is also known as the A wave. The expectation was that the XRP price would move down to $2.36, and reaching this level signals the completion of the A wave.

Since the A wave is now done, the next thing is for the price to enter into the B wave. The B wave is expected to be bullish as the XRP price could bounce from the lows of the A wave. This recovery is expected to drive the price up another 20% and push it toward $2.57 again.

However, the main focus is not the B wave but actually the completion of the C wave. After the bounce of the B wave to $2.57, the C wave is expected to crash it back down toward $2.36 again, but this is where the real fun begins. Once the bottom is marked with the C wave, then the XRP price is expected to see a major breakout.

This breakout is expected to break through the currently monthly peaks registered in May. First major resistance as the B and C waves go into action is $2.58, with the next major resistance much higher at $3.3333. Then, there are strong supports building for the cryptocurrency at $2.302 and $2.2222 as well in case of invalidation.

The XRP open interest also remains high and steady, showing that investors are choosing to stay in their current positions. This could also mean that traders are waiting to see what the price does next before placing further bets.

Las acciones tokenizadas se disparan un 279% y alcanzan un récord de 3.400 millones de dólares – 2 redes lideran la carga

La tokenización de acciones registró un crecimiento récord en junio, con un volumen mensual de negociación que alcanzó los 3.400 millones de dólares, un aumento del 279% respecto al mes anterior. Este impulso fue liderado por la OPV tokenizada de SpaceX y la creciente adopción institucional y minorista, atraída por una infraestructura mejorada y la posibilidad de operar las 24 horas del día. Aunque las direcciones activas disminuyeron un 77,18%, indicando una mayor participación de grandes inversores, el valor distribuido y el número de titulares aumentaron significativamente. La evolución del sector se refleja en el uso productivo del capital tokenizado dentro de las finanzas descentralizadas (DeFi). En Ethereum, el 25% de los activos de fondos tokenizados se despliegan ahora en aplicaciones DeFi, frente al 8% de hace tres años, utilizándose para préstamos, provisión de liquidad y generación de rendimiento. La demanda institucional está redefiniendo el panorama, priorizando la eficiencia en la liquidación, la liquidez y la composibilidad del capital entre redes. Solana lidera en la liquidación de acciones tokenizadas por su velocidad y bajo coste, mientras que Ethereum domina en el despliegue de fondos en DeFi. Este desarrollo dual sugiere que la tokenización está madurando hacia una infraestructura financiera funcional y complementaria, aunque sigue siendo crucial una mayor claridad regulatoria para su consolidación.
