👇1-12) While the overall market structure remains cautious, several upcoming catalysts could help boost sentiment in the coming days. Positive news is already impacting select tokens, driving selective price movements. For instance, Jupiter Exchange announced on February 14 that starting Monday, February 17, 50% of its protocol fees will be allocated to token buybacks, which could support JUP’s price momentum. This update was shared promptly with our premium subscribers via our Telegram groups, and since our post, JUP-USDT has surged +15%.

Ripple XRP-USDT could benefit from announcements next week.

👇2-12) We also alerted subscribers about the SEC’s closed-door meeting on February 13 concerning the Ripple Labs case, signaling a potential settlement. Given that Binance’s BNB token surged when the SEC requested a 60-day pause to reassess its crypto stance, we anticipated a similar reaction for XRP—which has now rallied +15%. But this is just the beginning—as we detail below, more bullish catalysts are on the horizon in the coming days.
