BTC and XRP Just Flashed Their Most Bullish Signal Yet—Here’s Why

The crypto markets are buzzing as Bitcoin and XRP unleash what could be their most aggressive bullish setups in years. Forget subtle hints—this is a full-throttle signal that’s got traders scrambling.

### The Case for a Bitcoin Breakout

BTC isn’t just knocking on resistance—it’s kicking the door down. Institutional inflows, ETF approvals, and a supply squeeze are converging like a perfect storm. When’s the last time Wall Street and crypto degens agreed on something? (Spoiler: Never.)

### XRP’s Make-or-Break Moment

Ripple’s legal saga left XRP in limbo, but the charts scream momentum. A clean breakout here could send it racing toward levels not seen since pre-SEC lawsuit mania. Of course, the ‘utility token’ still needs to prove it’s more than a courtroom battleground.

### The Fine Print

Yes, macro risks loom. Yes, regulators still treat crypto like a Wild West sideshow. But when liquidity’s this loose, who’s really checking the math? Buckle up—this ride’s just getting started.

BTC, XRP to Reverse Trajectories?

Remember Warren Buffett’s wisdom about investing – buy when others are fearful and sell when they are greedy? This narrative has been particularly impactful in the cryptocurrency market, where greed and fear often dominate investors’ thoughts.

Santiment has also been a massive proponent of the thesis, and the company’s latest post highlights the recent changes in investors’ behavior. According to the overall social dominance, it determined that BTC and XRP have dropped out of the greed zone, even though both registered new all-time highs just last week and are currently trading close below them.

This is mostly because BTC dumped from over $123,000 to under $115,000, while XRP slipped from $3.65 to just below $3. However, Santiment said markets tend to MOVE in the opposite direction of what the crowd expects, which “actually makes BTC and XRP buy-low candidates.”

While Bitcoin & XRP are seeing low greed levels, Ethereum’s +147% gains since early April still has traders bullish. Markets move the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations, which actually makes $BTC & $XRP buy-low candidates.

The same theory cannot be applied to ETH at the moment, though. The second-largest digital asset has soared by triple-digits from its April lows, and retail investors continue to be greedy, which might not be such a good sign for it.

Galaxy Completes Sell-Off

Perhaps driven by substantial sell-offs initiated by Galaxy Digital for a third party, BTC’s price slumped hard yesterday to a two-week low. However, Mike Novograz’s company announced late on Friday that it had successfully executed “one of the largest national bitcoin transactions in the history of crypto on behalf of a client.”

“Galaxy completed the sale of more than 80,000 bitcoin—valued at over $9 billion based on current market prices—for a Satoshi-era investor, representing one of the earliest and most significant exits from the digital asset market.”

With such a massive sell-off out of the picture and retail’s lack of greed for BTC, the asset could be primed for another leg up to and beyond its all-time high.
