The TD Sequential, a time-based indicator developed by Tom DeMark, identifies potential trend reversals after prolonged rallies or declines. A sell signal from this tool often indicates fading bullish momentum and warns traders to brace for a possible pullback.
Notably, XRP has staged an impressive rally, breaking through key resistance levels at $2.50 and $2.60 to reach a multi-month high of $2.70. However, the latest TD Sequential signal suggests that the bullish momentum may be overheating, hinting at a possible short-term pullback, given the current price of $2.66.
Ripple CTO Clarifies Escrow Mechanics and XRP Circulating Supply
Ripple CTO David Schwartz recently clarified that while the company could technically sell the rights to future escrowed XRP or even the accounts those escrows will release into, the tokens themselves cannot enter circulation until their scheduled release date.
His remarks came amid renewed community debate over how XRP’s circulating supply is reported compared to Bitcoin’s circulating supply.
 
The discussion was sparked by software engineer Vincent Van Code, who pointed out inconsistencies in how platforms like CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko report XRP’s circulating supply.
Unlike Bitcoin, whose supply includes all mined and tradable coins, Ripple’s massive escrow holdings, released gradually over time, make XRP’s supply metrics far more complex.
Schwartz clarified that while Ripple could theoretically sell claims to future XRP, the tokens remain locked until their escrow release. Even if the rights or accounts were sold, the XRP couldn’t be traded or spent beforehand.
As a result, he noted that this distinction underscores the gap between ownership rights and circulating liquidity, a nuance often overlooked by data trackers and retail investors.
Meanwhile, Evernorth, a Ripple-affiliated treasury firm, recently amassed $1 billion in XRP as it prepares for its highly anticipated Nasdaq debut.
