🐟 When a network's overall amount of wallets declines, it is a sign of FUD & capitulation from novice traders that is often a bullish indicator for the coin's price (since those liquidated coins are likely being bought by larger whales & sharks who are hodling for the long-term.

Retail traders largely control the amount of non-empty wallets on a network, considering there are an enormous amount of small wallets compared to whale wallets. With this said, here are the changes in non-empty wallets over the past month for notable top cap assets:

🪙 Bitcoin (BTC): +11,263 (+0.02%)
🪙 Ethereum (ETH): +1,950,000 (+1.50%)
🪙 XRP Ledger (XRP): +88,261 (+1.61%)
🪙 Cardano (ADA): -34,931 (-0.78%)
🪙 Dogecoin (DOGE): +109,410 (+1.65%)
🪙 Chainlink (LINK): +991 (+0.14%)

🥳📈 XRP has now broken a 3-year high, reaching $1.2679 on Binance for the first time since November 11, 2021. This rally has come on the backs of key whale & shark wallets that hold between 1M-100M tokens. This group has collectively accumulated 453.3M more tokens (worth $526.3M) in the past week alone.

Meanwhile, the coins that they are accumulating are mainly coming from retail traders attempting to dump their coins on any small XRP rally. Wallets with under 1M XRP have collectively dumped 75.7M tokens (worth $87.9M) this past week.

Historically, any cryptocurrency tends to see positive market cap growth when its key stakeholders are increasing their holdings and confidence, while simultaneous retail FUD fuels this growth more. This has been the exact scenario unfolding for crypto's now #6 market cap asset. 👍

🐳 Wallets with at least 1M XRP now hold a combined 45.61B tokens, their highest amount held since June, 2018. In the past 2 years, whales & sharks have reversed course and accumulated 3.44B more XRP, a +8.16% increase. Traders have enjoyed a +40% return in the past 7 days.

🥳 The XRP community has erupted with excitement and discussions related to crypto's #7 market cap. Over 4% of all coin discussions are related to XRP following a +45% breakout over an 8-day span.

Surpassing $0.74, its year-high back in March, will largely depend on FOMO staying at bay, and funding rates on large exchanges like Binance not getting too weighed down by longs.

📊 As altcoins made huge runs post-US election, the rate of discussion toward crypto's top assets are directly correlating with price activity.

📌 Most eyes are still on Bitcoin as traders see whether it can surpass $80K by the end of the week
📌 Ethereum has made a recent jump in discussion rate by surpassing $2.9K and slightly outperforming Bitcoin (a rare sight) on Thursday
📌 Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin are all a bit under the radar as the community has shifted their sights on BTC and ETH. But prices are still performing well

🐻 Crypto markets have corrected alongside equities as traders increase speculation that the bull rally has come to an end. With crowd optimism transitioning to doubt, these are the $500M+ market cap projects showing the best upside based on buying into the crowd FUD:

1 Chainlink $LINK
2 Bitcoin $BTC
3 Goatseus Maximus $GOAT
4 Dogecoin $DOGE
5 Ripple $XRP
6 Pepe $PEPE
7 Filecoin $FIL
8 ShibainuCoin $SHIB
9 Eigenlayer $EIGEN
10 BuildOnBeam $BEAM

Cryptocurrency is still very much a speculative sector, even for the most established projects. Markets typically move the opposite direction of the crowd's expectation, meaning the bearish narratives surrounding these coins can lead to rewarding results for those willing to go against the crowd selloffs that are beginning to mount.

🤯📈 XRP Ledger has spiked in active wallets significantly, reaching 35,799 unique wallets making at least one transfer in a single day, the highest in over 3 months. Additionally, 3,858 new wallets were created in a single day, the highest amount in over 7 months!

🧐 Bitcoin has dropped as low as $58.9K today, returning to a 3-week low. However, traders are identifying this as a dip buy opportunity. The narrative flipped to bullish particularly after the US CPI report announced slightly higher inflation, with rate cuts still likely.

😨 Chainlink, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP are the assets the crowd has turned the most negative on during this mild crypto slump. Coins with the most bearish crowd narratives historically have the best chance of rising. Here are the 20 best candidates:

🪙 1) Chainlink $LINK
