FVG (Fair Value Gap) is a price gap that occurs due to large orders from institutional investors, and there is a high probability that the price will fill this gap. By combining it with multi-timeframe analysis and other methods, effective trading can be achieved, but it is not a panacea, so caution is necessary.

Ethereum's price decline from $3600 to $880 is attributed to a lack of strong fundamentals, despite ETF support. The analysis highlights a false breakout at previous highs, significant capital outflows, and sets target levels of $2500, $1200, and $880 for potential buying opportunities.

RSI (Relative Strength Index) is used to measure the momentum of the market's pump and fall, with values ranging from 0 to 100. The Overbought and Oversold thresholds are set at 70 and 30, respectively, and the index does not represent trading signals. The RSI can adjust parameters based on user needs, and divergence phenomena need to be confirmed with other indicators. When applying RSI, one should be aware of false signals in trends, differences in time periods, and indicator combinations. Beginners should start with small test trades and develop strategies.

Elon Musk significantly impacts the cryptocurrency market, not just through his statements but also via his asset portfolio, influencing trends like Dogecoin, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. His holdings act as signals shaping market movements.

The crypto world is abuzz. If Elon Musk implements the rumored X settlement system, which coin will be adopted—this is currently the biggest concern.
This system, as a global Settlement platform, aims to leverage blockchain technology to make cross-border remittances faster, cheaper, and safer. However, there is a problem: there are multiple candidates, each with its own unique strengths.
The main candidates
Stellar (XLM) is a leader in cross-border Settlement. Its nearly zero fees and instant finality make it ideal for microtransactions. The concept of connecting financial institutions and blockchain aligns perfectly with the vision of X Settlement.
Ripple (XR

In the crypto space, I often hear the talk about being able to aim for a 100x return by participating in pre-sales, but what is the reality of this?
The gap between dreams and reality
Indeed, there have been projects in history, like SHIB (2020), that have achieved 1000 times returns. However, this is truly a rare case. As of 2024, with the market having matured, the probability of such returns being available is almost zero.
Thinking in more realistic numbers:
- 20 to 50 times: For example, Tamadoge (2022) achieved 19 times, and Lucky Block (2022) achieved 60 times. However, such cases are also on a decline.
- 2 to 10 times: This is the mainstream zone of successful projects. ENS (2023) is

XRPL Labs has launched native smart contract functionality on AlphaNet, marking the first time the XRP Ledger has offered Layer-1 on-chain computation. In simple terms, developers can now write smart contracts and dApps directly on XRP, without needing to move to other chains.
Highlights of this update include:
Technical aspects: Support for multiple programming languages and on-chain ABIs, which means cross-chain bridges, DeFi protocols, and NFT trading logic can all be deployed directly. The XRP Ledger has also achieved a record of 99.999% uptime, so its stability is unquestionable.
Future applications: The first killer feature, "Smart Escrows," is scheduled for release in Q1 2026. This will be useful for payment and asset custody scenarios.
From an ecosystem perspective, this completes the last piece of the puzzle for XRP, upgrading it from a payment tool to a full-fledged smart contract platform.

Many futures beginners are confused by the trading interface because three different prices are displayed for the same trading pair. The index price is a weighted average of spot prices from major exchanges, reflecting the real market demand. The mark price smooths out market fluctuations and is used to determine liquidations. The latest traded price is the actual transaction price. Under normal circumstances, the three should be close to each other, but in extreme market conditions, their relationship may change. Beginners should primarily refer to the mark price while also paying attention to the other two to better understand the market.
