【Weekend Market Overview】

This weekend's market has been quite "exciting." BTC is still hovering around 91,000, but stories in the crypto world are unfolding.

The bears are experts at creating topics. Yesterday, a screenshot caused a stir in the community—someone claimed to have seen in Ripple's official wallet transfer note that "80 billion USD has been sold off in 2025." XRP then plummeted, and retail investors rushed to cut losses. Meanwhile, a major crypto project related to Trump also experienced a sharp decline, prompting discussions about possible "exit scams." On the other side, LUNA has also generated a lot of hype.

But what are the real on-chain data telling us behind these panic emotions?

**XRP's "80 Billion Sell Pressure": A Carefully Crafted Psychological War**

Many people are unaware of a basic fact—on XRPL, the Memo (transfer note) field can be filled with any content. It's like leaving a message on a remittance slip when transferring money; what you write has nothing to do with the actual transaction.

If Ripple really injected 80 billion USD into the market, on-chain liquidity would collapse instantly. XRP's price wouldn't just drop 5%; it would plummet to zero. Current on-chain data shows that the depth of mainstream trading pairs remains stable, which itself disproves this rumor.

In simple terms, this is a "psychological nuclear bomb" used by the bears to create panic.

**The market is digesting real information, not crashing**

Over the past week, the crypto market has experienced multiple shocks from policy expectations, macro data, and project developments. But if you focus on on-chain data, you'll see that institutions are taking advantage of the lows to accumulate, not exiting en masse.

BTC's consolidation around 91,000 is actually searching for new support levels. During this process, sharp fluctuations in market sentiment are often the best opportunities—of course, provided you can distinguish between true and false information.

**Key point**: Don't be scared by second-hand information. When you see any shocking news, develop the habit of checking on-chain data and official announcements instead of following the crowd. The market is never short of rumors; what it lacks is patience to verify.

It's weekend—take a deep breath and analyze calmly.

BTC-2,08%

XRP-4,5%

TRUMP-1,61%

LUNA-3,71%

It's the same old story again. Screenshots can fool a bunch of people, hilarious.

Haha, another 8 billion sell pressure. The story is really ridiculous. Anyone can edit the memo, don't you know?

It's the same old story again, 8 billion sell-off. Are you tired of the tricks to trap retail investors?

It's the same old bearish tricks again. The 8 billion sell pressure is laughable. If it could be hammered down, it would have already gone to zero.

Another round of rookie investors getting slaughtered, same old tricks every time. I just want to ask, if the 8 billion rumor is really going to crash the market, why did it only drop 5%? Logically, that doesn't make sense. Are institutions absorbing? Ha, it looks more like they're waiting for a further decline. It's good to talk about verifying data, but most people are too lazy to check and just like to be scared into selling. BTC hovers around 91,000, it feels like the support level hasn't been found yet, Monday will be the real test.

It's the same old trick, bears love to play psychological warfare. --- 80 billion selling pressure? On-chain data has long proven otherwise, no one really believes it. --- Retail investors are scared and sold again, always the same, can't learn. --- Randomly filling in memo? Honestly, many people just don't know. --- Institutions buy the dip, retail investors scramble to sell, the difference is huge. --- Why take a deep breath? No way, just calm down, you're going to get liquidated anyway. --- The ones truly making money are watching on-chain data; those who don't follow the trend last longer. --- At the 91,000 level, it feels like we need to test the bottom again. --- Always the same, when rumors spread, the whole community explodes. --- Ah yes, yes, yes, you keep selling, I’m buying the dip.

Another panic sell-off show, I’ve memorized this routine already. --- Can I fill in the memo field arbitrarily? Then I’ll also write "I want to invest 100 billion" and see who believes. --- The 8 billion sell pressure should have caused a sudden crash long ago, but it’s still dropping 5% here, hilarious. --- On-chain data is the real deal; screenshots and rumors are just trash. --- It’s always like this—retail investors panic and sell, while institutions quietly buy and buy below. --- Rumors are flying everywhere. I wonder who dares to check on-chain; I bet 90% of people wouldn’t. --- The 91,000 level is being stubborn; it looks like the funds that are trying to buy the dip are indeed entering, or it would have broken through early. --- That Trump project was the same—gaslighting + precise harvesting, that’s the only thing in crypto. --- Deep breath? I’ve already become numb from it. Let’s keep watching the market over the weekend. --- Ripple’s recent publicity is perfect; initially no one paid attention, now the whole internet is talking about XRP.

It's the same story again. I was so scared yesterday I almost liquidated everything, and now you're telling me it's just psychological warfare? I've already taken off my pants. I also saw the screenshot of the 8 billion sell pressure. It's really incredible; this move by the bears is just too ruthless. Wait, are you saying that the on-chain depth is still stable? How long will it take for me to break even after losing on XRP? I'm really at a loss. Institutions are absorbing? Why do I only see my account evaporating? This time I trust your on-chain data analysis. If I get cut again next time, I'll delete the app.

80 billion sell-offs are just scare tactics; those who are really cutting losses have already taken action, and now they're just posting memes.
