Second Technical Interpretation of XRP

Trading is about thinking like a whale. On the surface, 2.043 is a strong support, but can it really hold large funds?

Think about it—if this support level were truly so strong, it should have rebounded and broken through by now. The current question is—could it just be a liquidity trap?

Two possibilities are in front of us: one is XRP directly breaking below the 2.043 threshold and further declining; the other is breaking below and then reversing with a rally.

The key is to observe trading volume and the true movements of whales. Support levels are not always reliable, especially when big players are quietly building positions. They might first induce a stop-loss, then reverse. That’s why relying solely on price is dangerous—you need to see through the underlying capital game.

Whale trap tricks, I know them too well. I'm just waiting to be smashed through 2.043 and then reverse and rally.

Bear trap reversal, the whales are playing it slick, retail investors are just destined to be chopped. Can 2.043 really hold? I doubt it; liquidity traps are hard to defend against. Watching trading volume is the key; just focusing on the price will only get you chopped. What to do if the support breaks? Still have to bet on a quick rebound, it's exciting. That's why I dislike pure technical analysis; capital game is the real core.

Are the whales really quietly accumulating here? Or are they just harvesting the little guys again --- Breaking 2.043 doesn't matter, what's important is what the trading volume indicates --- The so-called liquidity trap has become tiresome, it's just a gambler's mentality --- Fakeouts and reversals... they say this every time, why am I still losing? --- Stop studying support levels, just watch the big wallet movements --- Support levels are unreliable, they're just post-hoc stories made up by armchair strategists --- Fundamentals game? I'm just the little guy being played --- A real signal is when trading volume suddenly surges, anything else is pointless now --- As for XRP, no matter how much technical analysis you do, it's just guesswork --- Wait, is it another fakeout followed by a rally? This routine is getting old

Whale baiting and those old tricks, retail investors should see through it. The problem is we don't have that kind of observation skills. At the 2.043 level? I bet it won't hold. Big players love to dump first when building positions, it's all just routines. It feels like XRP is about to break below, and then a bunch of people will get caught. This market movement is really unpredictable, it feels like gambling. I stopped believing in support levels a long time ago; it's purely psychological. The relationship between volume and price is the real key, but unfortunately, we can't see the true flow of funds. This baiting and pulling up to trap people, someone always falls for it every time.

Another support level myth, already tired of it, brother --- Whales are building positions while we're still watching K-line charts, what a gap --- 2.043 this break? Wake up, it's just a liquidity trap --- Volume doesn't match, everything else is just talk, this is the real truth --- Reversal after a false breakout, same old tricks, it's still the same group performing --- It's better to look at funds than just price, makes sense but who can actually do it in practice? --- Break below then probe downward, rebound then push up, isn't this just gambling? Haha --- Hard support? The big players have already targeted this area to accumulate chips --- Still worried about 2.043, they've already looked at the next resistance level --- Just looking at the price alone = losing money, we've all paid tuition for this lesson, right

The concept of a liquidity trap is interesting, but I feel like it's just an excuse for oneself to accept losses. --- Whales building positions to lure shorts and reverse... It's correct, but we have to admit that most people can't react in time. --- Is 2.043 going to break or not? Honestly, I can't see through it. Let's wait for the trading volume to tell. --- Whether the support level is reliable or not depends on who is manipulating the market. --- This logic is correct, but the problem is how retail investors can possibly see through the true intentions of whales... --- Again, liquidity trap and whale building positions sound reasonable, but in reality, it all depends on luck. --- Luring shorts and then reversing—easy to say, but in practice, we are always the ones losing money. --- Where is this wave of XRP really headed? No one can say for sure. --- Support levels are just psychological comfort; once big players decide to run, no one can stop them.
