The overall market is experiencing a broad relief rally, with ETH, BNB, and DOGE showing significant bullish momentum on the 4-hour timeframe. My existing long positions in these assets are performing well and their technical setups remain valid, so I will hold them to let profits run. In contrast, XRP is demonstrating clear relative weakness and is struggling to participate in the rally. To capitalize on this divergence and hedge my portfolio, I am initiating a conservatively sized short position in XRP. I will not be adding any new long positions at this time, as other assets like BTC and SOL are approaching potential resistance, and a more disciplined entry is warranted. My strategy is to stay long the market leaders while shorting the clear laggard for alpha and risk diversification.
