What to Watch (Next 24–72 Hours)

  1. XRP ETF Launch Execution (Thu, Nov 13–14 UTC): XRPC begins trading; monitor opening spreads, inflows, and price reaction. First catalyst test for procedural auto-approval pathway. {High priority}
  2. Bitcoin Technical Retest ($102K Support Hold vs. Break): If BTC holds $102K and re-enters $105–$107K resistance zone with volume, bullish setup confirmed. Failure to hold = test $99K–$96K. {High priority}
  3. Monad (MON) Pre-Sale Hype & Mainnet Launch (Nov 17 sale opens, Nov 24 mainnet): Monitor pre-trade price discovery ($0.025 offering), Coinbase platform stability, and institutional participation metrics. {Medium priority}
  4. Ethereum L2 Activity / Arbitrum TVL Trends: Layer 2 ecosystem hitting all-time highs in transaction volume; watch for any protocol risks, especially post-Balancer exploit sentiment. {Medium priority}4344
  5. U.S. Macro & Tariff Dividend Announcement Clarity: Trump’s proposed $2K “tariff dividend” announcement may reignite risk-on sentiment or trigger renewed fiscal debate; monitors equity/crypto correlation. {Medium priority}3
  6. Solana Institutional ETF Inflows Continuation: If SOL inflows sustain >$300M/week, confirms decoupling from BTC macro sentiment; watch for $150 retest or $170+ breakout. {Low–Medium priority}4
