$XRP is up 5.195% in 24h, but one strong coin does not prove a broad altseason. The dispersion matters: SOL is up 12.277%, while BTC is up 2.038%, ETH 1.306%, and BNB 1.482%. That is leadership, not confirmation across the board.

My trigger for changing the read is simple: XRP must hold above its $1.3780 session low while BTC stays above $79,749.70, the latest 4h candle low. If both conditions hold into the next US session, the move has better structure. If not, the headline was louder than the breadth. My target reference is the $1.4740 intraday high, not a guaranteed destination, with the next US session as the time window. #XRPLeadsCryptoPullbackDropsNearly7% #BitcoinTops$80KThreeMonthHigh #DollarPostsBiggestGainInNearlyFourWeeks
