BTC, ETH & XRP – Weekend Watch (Oct 24, 2026) Market’s been quiet but a bit heavy this weekend. BTC’s sitting around $80,500–$80,700, down roughly 1.2–1.4% on the day. It’s been chopping near the $80k area after failing to hold higher earlier in the week. ETH is around $2,360–$2,380 (also down ~1.2–1.5%), and XRP is weaker at about $1.28, off 2.5–3%+. Nothing crazy, just the usual grind. Broader sentiment feels neutral-to-cautious some ETF outflows earlier in the week and macro noise (oil, Fed expectations) still hanging around. BTC is holding the psychological $80k zone reasonably well so far, ETH is testing its recent floor near $2,350–$2,370, and XRP looks a bit washed out. Rough trade ideas (not advice, just how I’m looking at it): BTC: Watching for a hold above $80k. A bounce back toward $82.5k–$83.5k looks reasonable if buyers step in. Break and close under $80k and I’d wait for lower ($78k–$79k area). Not chasing strength here. ETH: Similar setup. Support around $2,350 is the line in the sand. Hold that and a push toward $2,450–$2,500 is possible. Lose it cleanly and it could drift toward $2,300. XRP: Most stretched of the three right now (RSI looking oversold). $1.25–$1.27 is the zone to watch. A bounce toward $1.32–$1.36 wouldn’t surprise me if BTC stays stable, but it’s the weakest of the three technically until it reclaims $1.30+. Overall it’s still a range/consolidation market. No clear momentum either way better to wait for confirmation than force trades over the weekend. Prices can move fast, so manage risk. Just my read while watching the charts.

$XRP Franklin put $150M on XRPL and XRP fell. I sell under 1.2553 Franklin Templeton put about $150M of a tokenized money market fund (sgBENJI) on the XRP Ledger this week, all in one wallet. XRP slid from 1.36 to 1.28 since 21 Oct, right onto its daily 200 average (1.2789). X is split: 'flat chart for months' on one side, 'Moonvember' on the other. The chart is weaker than the headline. The highs go 1.5565 (2 Oct), 1.4256 (11 Oct), 1.3988 (21 Oct) and the lows go 1.3173, 1.2825, 1.2553 (18 Oct). XRP is under its 4H 200 average (1.3763) and the daily 50 (1.3697), and BTC's 4H is under its own. Under 1.2553 and the 16 Sep low (1.2458) almost nothing has traded since September, down to the 20 Aug gap near 1.13. Entry: only a 4H close under 1.2553 Targets: 1.2000 / 1.1300 Wrong: 4H close over 1.2800 If XRP closes a 4H candle over 1.3000 I am not short, I would look the other way. Stop about 2.4%, TP1 about 4%, TP2 about 10% from 1.25. Weak point: this floor has held five times, and a break can fake out, so I wait for the close. If it never breaks I do nothing. Which do you trust more, the 200-day or the lower highs?

$XRP ‌ Flashes Bearish Pattern: Can Bulls Defend $1.27? ◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Market Overview XRP is trading near $1.274 on the 4H chart, down about 1.5% on the day. It is one of the weaker performers in the majors today, with sellers dominating the recent price action after a steady decline through October. ◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Technical Analysis A Head and Shoulders structure is visible on the 4H chart. The left shoulder formed near $1.32, the head reached around $1.43, and the right shoulder came in lower near $1.35. That lower high on the right side is a classic sign of weakening demand. The neckline runs near $1.28 and XRP is now slipping right through it. If price closes below with solid volume, the pattern gains strength. The measured move from the head to the neckline suggests a potential area near $1.13, though patterns can fail, so confirmation matters. 🟢 Bullish Case: A reclaim of $1.30 and a close above $1.35 would invalidate the bearish setup and signal buyers stepping back in. 🔴 Bearish Case: A 4H close below $1.25 would confirm the breakdown and could open a move toward $1.20 and below. ⚪ Neutral Case: Price consolidates between $1.25 and $1.30 as the market looks for direction. ◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Key Levels ➤ Resistance: R1 $1.30 | R2 $1.35 ➤ Support: S1 $1.25 | S2 $1.20 Context XRP can react sharply to news, but right now Bitcoin's direction is setting the tone for the market. ◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Outlook Watch the neckline retest and volume closely. Clear confirmation beats early guesses. Not financial advice. Always DYOR. #xrp #USEarningsSeason #GateWCTCS9GlobalTradingCompetition #USConsumerSentimentNearRecordLow #KOSPIFallsNearly4%
