The fifth trading day of the new year, the market finally showed the desired trend. XRP surged straight up by 4.3%, leading the way, BTC steadily held its position at $92,000, and ETH also modestly rose by over 1%.

Many on the other side are still hesitating, but the truth of this wave of market movement is now clear—those seemingly oscillating fluctuations are essentially the main players completing their chip consolidation. Every upward candlestick we see now represents the genuine demand released after institutional big players quietly completed their layout. Retail investors at the bottom have already been shaken out, leaving patient holders still in the game.

Quoting the view of Warren Buffett’s old partner Graham: "The short-term market is voting, but the long-term always weighs true value." Today’s strong performance of XRP, BTC, and ETH is a vote by big funds with real money on the long-term value of these assets. The chips that are washed out are gone, and those who hold on will have an increasingly larger share.

Let’s take a closer look at the details of XRP’s trend. The price has already touched $2.1265. This 4.30% 24-hour increase, combined with moderate volume expansion, shows that the moving averages are already arranged in a bullish pattern. After breaking through key levels, there was no retracement, indicating this is not a rebound but a genuine directional upward move. Fundamental improvements such as ecosystem upgrades and stablecoin actions are gradually translating into market performance.
