A crypto whale placed a $224,000 bet that XRP will remain close to $1.40 until June 26 by selling both call and put options in a short strangle strategy. This bet profits if XRP stays within a narrow price range, reflecting expectations of low volatility. However, macroeconomic pressures and upcoming regulatory decisions, including the CLARITY Act and Ripple's regulatory advances, suggest potential for increased price swings. XRP is currently testing critical support levels, with resistance overhead indicating a cautious outlook for price recovery.
