> **Visual Context:** The image shows a 1-hour candlestick chart of XRP/USDT on TradingView, with price testing the $1.00–$1.0200 resistance zone within a descending channel pattern, accompanied by RSI and AO indicators below showing bearish momentum. This aligns with the post's analysis of XRP facing a critical decision point at $1.00–$1.0020 while remaining in a broader bearish structure.

 is testing a level that could decide its next move.

The $1.00–$1.0020 zone has held through multiple tests, while whale accumulation and renewed ETF inflows are adding an interesting demand-side signal.

But price is still in a broader bearish structure, so I wouldn’t call"

 Outcome Season 2

Signing up now gets you a reservation reward of 200xp

Even though I went all-in on the last World Cup round and couldn't make it to the end

But this time!

I'm going all-in again"
