July 4, 2026 🇺🇸 Crypto is Pumping!? 🤔 Why Bad News is GOOD News for XRP in 2026 Happy Independence guys so we are seeing a nice little bump in crypto and XRP lately and funny enough it’s on bad economic news. Yes… bad news pumps us up. Here’s why. So fed chair Warsh went to a central banker conference in Portugal this week and said out loud that inflation is “too high” and prices are “too high.” That’s hawkish language that should have tanked crypto in a sane world. Instead Bitcoin bounced back and XRP is up to almost $1.17 as I film this. Why? Because the market heard something different buried underneath the headline. Warsh also said inflation expectations have come down over the last four weeks. He declined to commit to a rate hike in July. And right now markets are pricing in a much lower chance the Fed hikes rates at the end of this month compared to earlier fears. So Warsh basically said inflation is bad but also maybe getting better and also I’m not telling you what we’re doing next. And somehow that was enough to spark a short squeeze that wiped out millions in bearish bets overnight. That’s the market we’re in right now. Bad jobs numbers of only 57,000 jobs added last month, less than half of what economists expected — pumped crypto because weak jobs means less inflation pressure which means less reason to hike rates. Bad news is good news. Ugly data is bullish. The whole thing is upside down. But here’s the thing I want you to sit with on this July 4th weekend. XRP has never closed July in the red. Not once since 2020. Every brutal June — and June 2026 was down 22% — has been followed by a July bounce or the start of a real trend change. The most famous one: June 2020 fell 13%. July 2020 exploded 48% and ended a two year downtrend. Seasonality isn’t a guarantee. But six straight green Julys is a pattern. And this one just opened green. Watch July 14th. That’s when June CPI data drops — and that number will tell us whether Warsh pivots or tightens. That’s your next real signal. Let’s go watch some fireworks my friends have a good one. #XRP #Crypto #Bitcoin #Economy #Investing - @forrestunfiltered
