📊 Crypto Market Wrap | May 22, 2026 • Bitcoin: Holding ~$78K, second day of gains after bouncing from $76K support. Next resistance sits at $81.6K (200-day EMA). • Ethereum: Trading ~$2,140 but still below key EMAs ($2,244–$2,535). Short-term bias remains bearish unless it breaks above 200-day EMA. • XRP: Around $1.38, struggling under EMA cluster ($1.41–$1.70). Resistance at $1.40; support at $1.35 and $1.30. • Market Sentiment: Fear & Greed Index rises to 29 (still “Fear”), showing cautious optimism. • Geopolitics: US–Iran talks near resolution; mixed signals but easing oil prices ($97 WTI) support calmer risk sentiment. 📌 Takeaway: Modest gains across BTC, ETH, and XRP reflect cautious dip-buying, but major resistance levels remain intact. Geopolitical progress and sentiment recovery could fuel gradual upside. 👉 cointel.io/en/0RQAdTffSu2… #Cointel #Crypto #Bitcoin #Ethereum #XRP #Markets #Geopolitics #FearGreedIndex

📊 ONDO & XRP | Mid-May 2026 Market Wrap 🪙 ONDO (Ondo Finance): • Slipped below $0.40 support, ~20% off May highs.
