On Sunday March 2 2025 President Trump posted that a US crypto strategic reserve would include XRP, SOL and ADA. XRP jumped from about $2.19 to above $3.00 within the day and closed up 34%. On Monday, with no detail on how the reserve would be funded, the rally unwound and XRP closed the day down 19%.
This is a brutal session because the whole move came from a single headline with no follow-through: whoever chased the Sunday spike held it into a Monday that erased most of it, and the reversal had no clear signal until it was underway.
Same engine, same hidden right-hand side — a different day's problem.
