Bitcoin Prices Fall Below $107,000 As Crypto Market Catches Its Breath  Forbes

XRP price slides back into bearish territory after failed recovery attempt
XRP might rapidly move toward $1 due to the rapid retrace in the last 24 hours.
Following indications of a recovery earlier in the week, XRP has gone back into bearish territory, wiping out most of its brief gains and escalating concerns about a more significant decline.
XRP experienced a significant reversal over the past day, plunging more than 2.5% and slipping below significant technical levels that had previously provided some hope of stability. As of press time, XRP is trading at about $2.1842, unable to hold above its short-term support level.
After a failed attempt at a recovery above $2.60, the bearish reversal occurred with growing selling pressure controlling the larger cryptocurrency market. That level of price rejection, which is close to the 50-day moving average (orange line), indicates that bears are getting ready for another leg down, and bulls are quickly losing control.
Ripple CTO Clarifies Role in New XRP Treasury Firm Evernorth
Ripple CTO breaks his silence on his role in new $1 billion XRP treasury firm Evernorth.
Ripple’s chief technology specialist, David Schwartz, has broken his silence on speculation around his involvement with Evernorth, a newly launched XRP treasury vehicle that just announced plans to raise over $1 billion through a Nasdaq listing.
The firm, created via a merger with Armada Acquisition Corp II, is designed to operate like Strategy, but for XRP, absorbing supply from the open market and positioning itself as a long-term holder of the cryptocurrency. 
The announcement, of course, created immediate buzz, as it was framed that Schwartz will "join" the project. However, within hours, the current Ripple CTO pushed back, clarifying that while he will advise the venture, he is not signing onto any arrangement that would consume his calendar beyond this year. 
Bitcoin poised for its largest gain since April as gold falters
Gold is getting pummeled while Bitcoin is finally catching a bid following a streak of underwhelming price performance. 
Bitcoin is currently on track to secure its biggest gain since April. On Apr. 22, the BTCXAUT pair surged by 11% on the exchange, but Bitcoin bulls still have enough time to top these gains. Gold has had a massive run this year, substantially outperforming both US equities and Bitcoin. 
However, things took a sudden turn for the worse on Tuesday for bulls, with both the prices of gold and silver recording their biggest intraday drops in years, Axios reports. Some believe that the trade has now become too crowded after a video of people lining up to buy physical gold bars and coins in Sydney, Australia, went live on the X social media network.

US forces have struck another vessel alleged to be carrying drugs, this time in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Pentagon said.
According to defence secretary Pete Hegseth, two people on board the vessel were killed and no US forces were harmed. The vessel was known to US intelligence and was believed to be carrying drugs along a known trafficking route in international waters, Hegseth added.
The strike marks the eighth US strike against suspected drug boats since 2 September – but the first in the Pacific.
President Donald Trump said he has legal authority to continue bombing boats in international water but said he may go to the US Congress if he decides to expand targets on land.
"We're allowed to do that, and if we do (it) by land, we may go back to Congress," Trump said to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday.
He said his administration was "totally prepared" to expand the anti-drug operations on land, which would mark a deep escalation.
In the Oval Office with Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio added that "if people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up, stop sending drugs to the United States".
Video of the strike appears to show a long, blue speed boat moving through the water before being struck by US ordinance.
"Narco-terrorists intending to bring position to our shores will find no safe harbour anywhere in our hemisphere," Hegseth wrote on X. "Just as Al Qaeda wages war on our homeland, these cartels are waging war on our border and our people."
"There will be no refuge or forgiveness – only justice," he added.
In a leaked memo recently sent to US lawmakers, the Trump administration said it determined it was involved in a "non-international armed conflict" with drug-trafficking organisations.
At least 34 people have been killed in the American strikes on alleged drug boats, including a recent strike on a semi-submersible vessel in the Caribbean.
Two men survived a strike last week, and were repatriated to Colombia and Ecuador.
Ecuador's government later released one man – identified as Andrés Fernando Tufiño – saying there was no evidence of wrongdoing. The other man, from Colombia, reportedly remains hospitalised.
US President Donald Trump and administration officials have repeatedly justified the strikes as counter-narcotics measures necessary to fight drug-trafficking organisations, several of which have been designated as terrorist organisations by the US.
Citing a defence official, CBS has reported that the strike took place in international waters near Colombia.
Speaking in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump defended the operations, calling them "a national security problem".
News of the strike comes amid rising tensions between the Trump administration and the Colombian government of President Gustavo Petro, whom Trump has characterised as "a thug and a bad guy".
"He better watch it or we'll take very serious action against him and his country," Trump said. "He has led his country into a death trap."
On Sunday, Trump denounced Petro as an "illegal drug leader" who is "strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Colombia."
Trump added that the US will no longer offer subsidies to Colombia, which has historically been one of its closest allies in Latin America.
Both Colombia and nearby Ecuador have significant Pacific coastlines that experts have said are used to funnel drugs north towards the US through Central America and Mexico.
US estimates from the Drug Enforcement Agency, or DEA, indicate that the vast majority of cocaine bound for US cities passes through the Pacific.
Drug seizures in the Caribbean – where the bulk of confirmed US strikes have so far taken place – account for a relatively small percentage of the total, although US officials have warned it is rising.
To date, US officials have offered few details on the identities of those killed in the strikes or what drug trafficking organisations they allegedly belong to.
Around 10,000 US troops, as well as dozens of military aircraft and ships, have been deployed to the Caribbean as part of the operation.
Officials say the incident unfolded when a man allegedly rammed officers' vehicles while trying to flee immigration arrest.
Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa took the debate stage for the final time ahead of Election Day in early November.
The Human Rights Reporting Gateway acted as a formal "tip line" to the US government.
The mum and the bus driver were recognised by parents and school leaders at East Bethel Elementary in Minnesota.
The US president previously said that his $250m (£186m) ballroom addition would not "interfere with the current building".
