XRP Just Pulled Off the Biggest Bear Trap in Crypto History – Here’s Why It Matters

XRP just executed the most savage bear trap ever recorded—leaving short-sellers bloodied and bulls in control.


The Setup:
After weeks of sideways action, XRP’s price looked primed for a breakdown. Bears piled in, betting on a collapse. Then—wham.


The Reversal:
A violent 20% surge vaporized $250M in short positions. Classic trap. Now, the question isn’t 'if' but 'how high.'


Why Traders Got Played:
Liquidity was too thin, leverage too high. When the squeeze came, it was a massacre. Even Wall Street’s 'smart money' would’ve blushed at this level of predatory precision.


What’s Next:
If history rhymes, this could be the launchpad for XRP’s next leg up. Or, you know, another 'buy the rumor, sell the news' circus—this *is* crypto, after all.

Notably, these figures indicate that XRP is still in an uptrend, although the momentum has cooled.  In addition, Dom noted during the latest price upsurge that the spot-perp premium, which indicates whether the market is overheated, ROSE to dangerously high levels. However, the drop that followed helped reset the premium, creating a healthier environment for the next leg up.  https://twitter.com/traderview2/status/1948396782393647321
