The four-hour trend of XRP is brewing a reversal—whether it will break above 1.9 or fall below 1.8 is still unclear. But a recent piece of news is worth pondering: an XRP treasury institution with a high-level executive background is currently showing an unrealized loss of over $220 million.
Their holdings are eye-catching: holding 389 million XRP, with an initial cost close to $950 million, now only valued at $720 million. With such a large gap, why haven't they dumped? Either they are betting on a bull market to recover, or there is a deeper strategic layout behind the scenes—this needs to be figured out.
From a candlestick perspective, the MACD is brewing a bullish crossover from a death cross, indicating a short-term rebound signal. On the resistance side, 1.876 is the first hurdle for a rebound, and 1.95 is a strong resistance zone, making a one-time breakthrough unlikely. Support levels should not break below 1.825; if it falls below, then watch whether the 1.77 area can hold. Currently, XRP is oscillating around 1.86, with trading volume clearly shrinking, both bulls and bears are watching— a reversal is imminent.
Trading strategy ideas: in the 1.876-1.9 zone, consider reducing positions or lightly shorting with a target of 1.83-1.825. Conversely, if the price pulls back to 1.77-1.78 and stabilizes, you can lightly go long, aiming for a rebound to 1.85. The core rule is: don't bet heavily on the direction; try small positions to test, and add gradually once the trend is confirmed.
In my personal view, in the short term, the price is likely to surge first to test 1.876, possibly even reaching around 1.9, but breaking through 1.95 in one go is quite difficult. Such a large loss by the institution actually sends a signal—selling pressure should be limited, as they usually won't cut losses easily. But it also indicates that there is a lack of new capital inflow in the short term, making the market prone to a quick rise and fall.

220 million floating loss and still not dumping? This institution must either have incredible psychological resilience or really have insider information.

220 million floating loss still not selling off, is this institution truly ruthless or is there another plan?

A loss of 220 million USD is still tolerable. How tough is this institution's mentality? It feels like they're waiting for some big news.

Damn it, it's the same old trick again. Institutions are floating a loss of 220 million and still holding on, what does that mean? It means we retail investors have to hold on even harder, haha.
MACD death cross turning into a golden cross? I think it's just trying to trick me into bottom fishing. Every time, the technicals end up becoming technical debt.
That 1.876 barrier, I don't believe you. If we can't break through 1.9 this time, I'll lose even more money.

$220 million pit, these institutions are still stubbornly holding on, either they are foolish or have insider information.

Institutions lost 220 million but still hold on tightly. I see through this trick—it's just betting on a bull market turnaround.
---
1.876-1.9 is indeed a critical level, but I’ll still start with a small position first, and wait for confirmation before acting.
---
With such low trading volume, both bulls and bears are waiting for signals. This is when it's easiest to get trapped.
---
Limited selling pressure? Then be even more cautious. The most dangerous times often look the calmest.
---
Short-term, I expect a rally to 1.876, but don’t expect a quick break above 1.95. Dreams are dreams, but reality requires caution.
---
What does the institution’s loss hole indicate—new money isn’t coming in, so a true major rally is unlikely.
---
If it breaks below 1.825, we’ll see if 1.77 can hold. If not, it’s time to run.
---
A light position for a short sell is a good idea, targeting around 1.83. Anyway, don’t go all-in betting on this move.
---
Institutions not cutting losses is even more dangerous. Who knows what their true intentions are? I’ll stick with the technical analysis.
