Mid-Session Market InsightsMid-Session Market Insights
In today's session, I'm closely monitoring eight different futures markets: S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000, Gold, Crude Oil, Euro Dollar, Yen Dollar, and Aussie Dollar.
S&P 500: We're seeing a rotational pattern within the prior day's value area and the CVA. I'm eyeing long opportunities from the prior value area low up to the high.
NASDAQ 100: The market is a bit choppy around the PVA and CVA highs, with a slight upward intraday trend. I'm staying cautious here.
Russell 2000: Also choppy, but we've got acceptance within the CVA. I'm looking for long opportunities from the CVA low, which aligns with the prior day's low.
Euro Dollar: I'm currently short from the CVA high, with the first target at the prior day's low. We've broken below the prior value area, so I'll trail this trade and see how it develops.
Yen Dollar: It’s been a bit of a mixed bag. I took a short below the CVA and prior day's low, got stopped out, but it was still a decent setup.
Aussie Dollar: I took some long positions that weren't the best setups, as it was quite choppy near the CVA high and prior day's low. Lesson learned for next time.
Crude Oil: I took a short from the CVA and PVA highs, hit my target at the low of those areas, and we’re currently hovering around that level.

Ripple and XRP 2025-2026 Outlook: Institutional Adoption, ETF M While most investors rely on chart patterns and historical indicators to guide their decisions, the real edge lies in forward-looking analysis. While trading patterns provide valuable insight for short-term volatility-based investing, understanding roadmaps and projected outcomes paints a far clearer picture of an asset's long-term potential—and helps investors anticipate when price changes are likely to occur. In the world of crypto—where social sentiment can be engineered and narratives drive short-term price swings—it's critical to focus on roadmaps, regulatory movements, and institutional integration.
Utility-based crypto like XRP gains value not just from speculation, but from the outcomes it delivers: seamless cross-border payments, compliance infrastructure, and financial interoperability. This article explores what's already unfolding and what's expected to reshape the XRP landscape through the end of 2025 and into early 2026.
This is not financial advise, just my viewpoint... While some of these events may not happen, they are speculated as ongoing with completion dates stated.
Conservative Price Range Estimate: $6.00 by January 2026 ( My personal view, could be more, could be less.. do your own research)
July 2025: Regulatory Foundation and Institutional Signaling
ProShares XRP Futures ETF Launch (July 18): While a futures ETF doesn’t create real XRP demand, it establishes institutional access and boosts trading legitimacy. XRP saw a 5% short-term lift on the news.
Ripple Applies for a National Bank Charter (July 2): Ripple seeks a U.S. national trust bank license and Federal Reserve master account, aiming to custody RLUSD reserves directly and offer banking services. This move would make Ripple the first crypto-native bank regulated at the federal level.
BNY Mellon Partners on RLUSD Custody: The stablecoin RLUSD will be backed by assets held with BNY Mellon, significantly enhancing institutional trust.
Congressional Crypto Week (July 14-18): Multiple pro-crypto bills including the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act are set for vote. If passed, they will clarify stablecoin frameworks and digital asset classifications.
July set the tone for XRP’s transition into institutional finance. With the launch of a ProShares XRP futures ETF, investor interest saw a legitimate on-ramp into regulated markets. Ripple’s application for a national bank charter and its RLUSD custody deal with BNY Mellon signal a serious bid for integration with the U.S. financial system. Meanwhile, Congressional attention to crypto regulation during “Crypto Week” builds the political and legal scaffolding Ripple needs to operate as a licensed banking entity.
August 2025: Finalizing Frameworks
OCC Public Comments Close (Aug 1): Comment period on Ripple’s bank charter ends, allowing regulatory evaluation to begin.
SEC ETF Template Finalization Expected: New rules and disclosures for spot crypto ETFs could be released, paving the way for streamlined XRP spot ETF approvals.
Progress on Crypto Legislation: The GENIUS and CLARITY Acts may pass both chambers, offering Ripple and XRP a compliant and recognized framework under U.S. law.
In August, the public commentary on Ripple’s bank application closes, beginning a phase of federal evaluation. The SEC is expected to clarify spot ETF guidelines this month, which would streamline XRP ETF approvals. Combined with likely legislative wins in Congress, August is expected to deliver the regulatory clarity Ripple needs to unlock deeper capital flows and onboarding from cautious institutions.
September 2025: Institutional Inroads
Franklin Templeton XRP Spot ETF Approval: With public comments completed in July, the SEC is expected to rule on Franklin’s ETF by late September. Approval would create true XRP demand from asset managers.
Ripple Bank Charter Decision Expected: Based on standard OCC timelines, a decision could land in September, granting Ripple official trust bank status.
Bank Adoption of RippleNet: New U.S.-based banks are expected to onboard RippleNet and RLUSD, pending charter clarity.
September may mark one of XRP’s most pivotal months. The expected approval of the Franklin Templeton spot XRP ETF introduces real XRP demand from traditional financial platforms. Ripple’s bank charter decision is anticipated, which, if approved, formalizes Ripple as a regulated trust bank. Institutions watching from the sidelines could begin onboarding RippleNet and adopting RLUSD as a digital settlement instrument.
October 2025: Full Financial Integration
Federal Reserve Master Account Approval: If the bank charter is approved, Ripple may gain direct Fed access, reducing friction in cross-border liquidity operations.
Hidden Road Acquisition Finalized: Ripple’s $1.25B purchase of the prime-brokerage platform expands XRP Ledger's reach into institutional DeFi.
Crypto Regulatory Acts Signed Into Law: Expected signing of the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts into federal law establishes Ripple and RLUSD as compliant players.
October represents a leap from planning to execution. If Ripple secures a Federal Reserve master account, it gains direct access to U.S. payment rails—dramatically reducing cross-border friction. The finalization of Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road builds new institutional bridges to DeFi. With the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts likely signed into law, Ripple’s operations become formally protected under U.S. legislation.
November 2025: Global Payment Infrastructure Alignment
SWIFT ISO 20022 Final Cutover (Nov 22): RippleNet becomes a competitive ISO-native alternative as legacy systems complete their migration.
Banking Partnerships Expand: With charter and Fed access, expect Ripple to announce new integrations across both U.S. and global banks.
November marks the global synchronization point. SWIFT’s ISO 20022 cutover transitions legacy finance into the same language RippleNet already speaks. This timing could prompt a new wave of partnerships from U.S. and international banks looking for compliant, faster alternatives. The technical alignment removes a final excuse for not adopting Ripple’s infrastructure.
December 2025: Stablecoin Acceleration
RLUSD Volumes Surge: With the infrastructure in place, stablecoin transactions over XRPL and Ethereum are expected to see significant enterprise use.
New Spot ETF Filings: Firms like Bitwise, 21Shares, and WisdomTree may file or receive approvals, expanding XRP's ETF market share.
Year-End Analyst Price Targets Raised: Institutional research desks may revise XRP targets upward, citing infrastructure, compliance, and volume data.
With legal clarity and infrastructure live, RLUSD adoption is expected to surge in December. Stablecoin flows through Ethereum and XRPL should grow significantly, showcasing XRP’s value in facilitating enterprise-grade financial transactions. Analysts are expected to raise XRP price targets based on these integrations and actual volume, setting up a strong year-end momentum.
January 2026: DeFi and XRP Ledger Scaling
Hidden Road Tooling Goes Live: DeFi integrations through institutional APIs create new XRP use cases.
RippleNet Usage Reporting: Post-charter metrics likely show increasing XRP volumes in institutional corridors.
New U.S. Legislative Proposals: Follow-on legislation could further streamline crypto regulation, with bipartisan support likely to continue.
January begins with tangible growth. Ripple’s DeFi strategy via Hidden Road goes live, giving institutions plug-and-play access to XRP-based liquidity protocols. Early usage metrics post-charter will offer proof of adoption. With bipartisan momentum behind crypto legislation still building, 2026 could see an even deeper alignment of XRP within regulated finance.
Strategic Outlook
The convergence of banking infrastructure, spot ETF exposure, and regulatory clarity may push XRP into a sustained growth arc. If Ripple secures its charter and Fed access while ETFs go live, XRP could see institutional capital inflows, utility-driven velocity, and price discovery not seen since its early 2018 surge.
Estimated Price Range (Base Model): $5.00 to $6.50 by January 2026
Key Watchpoints:
OCC and Federal Reserve decisions
Spot ETF trading volumes
RLUSD transaction data
Adoption by banks and brokers
XRP's next chapter is not just about price—it's about becoming a foundational asset for regulated global finance.
Skeptic | GBP/USD Update: Triggers Fired Up!Hey everyone, it’s Skeptic! ;) yesterday, the support at 1.35672 saw a fake breakout and snapped back into the 4-hour box we’ve been tracking. But bearish momentum is still strong, so here’s the play:
✔️ If you opened a short already , With the fake breakout signaling potential momentum shift, consider taking profits or closing if price consolidates above 1.36089. Why? The fakeout increases the chance of a momentum change.
✨ For new short positions , the 1.35672 break remains a valid trigger. If it breaks again, it could kickstart a major bearish leg, targeting lower supports at 1.35000 and 1.34227 —both strong reaction zones.
📊 The HWC is uptrend, so shorts need extra caution—reduce risk or take profits early.
📉 For longs , wait for a break and consolidation above 1.36406 . This level saw a strong rejection, signaling it’s a key resistance the market respects. A break here, liquidating short positions (which means buying), could spark a solid uptrend leg with great R/R potential.
🔔 Confirmation : Use RSI entering oversold for shorts or overbought for longs. The HWC uptrend means shorts carry higher risk, so tighten your risk management—stick to 1%–2% risk per trade.
🔼 Key Takeaway: Short at 1.35672 if it breaks again, long at 1.36406 with confirmation. Stay sharp for momentum shifts and keep stops tight. I’ll update if the market structure flips!

KuCoin Token (KCS) Full Analysis · Past Cycle & PresentKCS is preparing for something really nice, very similar to 2021. In 2021 KuCoin Token grew 5,655%. From 0.500 to 28.77. The entire move from bottom to top lasted 511 days, the bottom being around July 2020, then the market went sideways before the bullish phase. The meat of the move happened in a total of 329 days.
If we take the current cycle bottom to be around August 2024, 511 days gives us a date of 29-December 2025. In 2017 Bitcoin peaked around December. So this is a good date.
I cannot calculate the analog using the 329 days for the "meat of the move" because the bullish breakout is not yet in place. But, late 2025 is what we are aiming for mainly for the next all-time high across the market. We remain open to see this go beyond and reach 2026 but this is something that we will have to wait and see. For now our focus is on what the data provides.
Actually, many pairs, as we saw some weeks ago, are giving out strong signals pointing to Q1-Q2 2026 for their top. Others late 2025. So we have mixed signals and that's normal because the market is really big right now. Not everything can peak at the same time on the same date and not everything hit bottom at the same time.
KuCoin Token is a great example, here the market bottom happened August 2023 and we then see a clear change of dynamics. Ethereum bottomed June 2022 and many altcoins hit bottom just recently, on and on. I keep harping on this just so you know that we cannot generalize anymore. Each project needs to be considered individually if we want accurate results.
KuCoin Token (KCSUSDT) has been bullish growing from its base. A top happened March 2024 and a lower high late January this year, 2025. This does not invalidate the long-term bullish bias and potential.
One major resistance zone remains between $13 and $16, matching the last two peaks just mentioned. We will never wait for "confirmation" here as it would mean a lost opportunity. The market will grow and will break this resistance zone easily and continue higher likely to reach new all-time highs.
So this resistance range, rather than a level that needs to be conquered to confirm a bullish bias, can be taken as weak targets. By weak I mean that we do not sell here. We wait and sell only higher since the market is moving much higher it would be a waste to sell too early. One of the mistakes that can be made in this phase of the market cycle.
Hold strong. Everything looks good. There is huge potential for growth.
$44 is a great target but there is also $69. Which one to choose depends on how the overall market is doing and the date these targets are hit (or missed). For example, if KCS is trading near $40 in just two months, we can aim higher. On the other hand, if KCS is trading around $40 in December, then we can start to consider taking profits.
Of course, this is just a brush-off, you need to do your own research and thorough planning.
Namaste.

Gala Games · Let's Talk All-Time High & Potential TargetsThe truth is that a new all-time high is just us being optimistic. The truth is that there is not enough data for us to make such a prediction. The altcoins market is turning out to be super strong, Bitcoin is doing great and we expect amazing growth, but I cannot say that a new all-time high is a certainty on this chart, there is simply not enough data. I can't rule it out either, so that's the situation in which we find ourselves.
The next question: Can we make an educated guess based on the data that's available?
Yes! Absolutely.
» Standard projections based on mid-range price action opens up high probability targets around 0.10, 0.15 and 0.21.
» Long-term projections based on the previous cycle (2021-2022) gives us a minimum target of 0.33 and 0.52.
» A great bull market opens up 1.35 and 2.17. But even these numbers can be tricky because we are putting limitations on something that has no limits.
The way we extract these numbers is based on past action, the way the market works is based on present day events and what the future holds. Present day and the future are much different to the conditions we had just a few years ago. Just a few months ago (last year) the market was in such a different situation. A certain group of people whom I won't mention were trying to shutdown the market through capricious lawsuits and abuse of power, today, the market is fully encouraged to grow. This type of development is what can make the difference between a standard high and a major new all-time high. I would aim high just to be on the safe side.
The top will not be over in an hour or days. It can take weeks, sometimes even months. There is also the double-top possibility or in the least, the dead-cat bounce, lower high after the final peak. That is, there will be plenty of time to sell. We just need to become very alert, wise and active when the action is happening around major resistance zones.
We can tell if the top is in by tracking the rest of the market. I will be here sharing charts.
The market will decide, we can only speculate. With that said, we know we are going way beyond the standard and the minimum, the Cryptocurrency market is already doing great. Expect maximum growth; hope for the best, prepare for the best.
Namaste.
Micron Technology - Another +50% rally will follow!Micron Technology - NASDAQ:MU - will rally another +50%:
(click chart above to see the in depth analysis👆🏻)
About two months ago Micron Technology perfectly retested a confluence of support. This retest was followed by bullish confirmation, nicely indicating a reversal. So far we saw a rally of +100%, but looking at the channel pattern and previous cycles, another +50% will follow.

XAUUSDHello Traders! 👋
What are your thoughts on XAUUSD?
Gold has successfully broken above its descending trendline, signaling a potential shift in market structure and growing bullish momentum.
A pullback toward the broken trendline is now likely, as price may retest the breakout zone.
Once the pullback is completed, we anticipate a bullish continuation and a move toward higher levels.
As long as price holds above the identified support zone, the bullish outlook remains valid.
