Sports fans are caught in the middle of Disney and YouTube TV's contract dispute.

2025-11-07T20:06:03Z

Disney and YouTube TV are waging a PR war to sway viewers as their contract dispute drags on.
Disney has painted itself as the underdog, but some surveys show it's getting more blame.
PR pros weighed in on Disney and YouTube's messaging strategies.

Who's winning the PR war in the Disney-YouTube TV standoff? Data suggests YouTube — so far.

Disney's channels have been unavailable on YouTube TV since October 30 due to a contract dispute, preventing YouTube TV subscribers from watching the "Monday Night Football," as well as ABC News and popular shows like "Abbott Elementary."

Several data sources indicate that YouTube could have the upper hand in public perception.

A survey by Drive Research of 1,100 respondents showed that 58% consider both parties equally at fault, but a far bigger share (37%) blamed Disney than YouTube TV (5%).

"I do think they've managed to present themselves as protectors for subscribers and Disney as corporate overlords," Richard Swain, partner at branding and creative agency Further, said of YouTube.

A smaller survey by Cord Cutters News showed that 82% of respondents mainly blamed Disney, seeing it as using blackouts to extract more money from distributors, while viewing YouTube as trying to keep prices stable.

According to Muck Rack, from October 5 to November 5, Disney got over 18,000 negative mentions on X, and YouTube TV got about 14,000. However, by November 6, negative sentiment had shifted more to YouTube TV.

Google searches for "cancel YouTube TV" spiked immediately after the blackout and reached their highest level in at least five years, according to data from Google Trends. Interest in competing services soared.

Why Disney's approach may not have landedOn the surface, it might seem surprising that YouTube TV — owned by tech giant Google — is winning the PR battle.

Disney's messaging has focused on the value of its content that subscribers are missing out on, like ESPN's sports and ABC's election coverage. It also enlisted some of its on-air talent, including Stephen A. Smith and Scott Van Pelt, to post about the blackout, and accused YouTube TV of trying to "eliminate competition."

Using on-air talent might not have landed because posting about Disney wasn't on-brand for them, said Mike Paul, president of crisis management firm Reputation Doctor. Disney might have done better to look at the situation through the customer's point of view and emphasize what it's doing to bring the standoff to a close, he said.

Mike Fahey, CEO of crisis PR firm Fahey Communications, said he wasn't surprised at the backlash Disney got after enlisting a controversial figure like Stephen A. Smith as a spokesperson.

"In this specific case, I think Disney is missing the mark with using Stephen A. as the face of ESPN," he said. "The big draw of ESPN to the masses is the sports themselves. This isn't about that talent. It's about the programming."

Swain said polling has shown some people think the quality of Disney's entertainment output has declined, so messages about content might have fallen flat. The company has also faced recent blowback over price increases at its theme parks and the temporary suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

A 2025 Axios Harris poll showed Alphabet/Google had a "very good" reputation while Disney's was only "fair."

"I just question how many more hits they can take," Swain said of Disney.

Streaming analyst Dan Rayburn said Disney's indignation about its older content being deleted, as required by its contract, rang disingenuous.

YouTube TV focused on priceYouTube, for its part, has argued that Disney's proposed terms would force it to raise costs for YouTube TV's subscribers and benefit Disney-controlled rival services like Fubo and Hulu + Live TV.

YouTube also offered subscribers a $20 credit if the blackout continued for an extended period.

YouTube hasn't exactly remained unscathed. Many people online have expressed frustration with both companies amid rising streaming prices. YouTube TV hiked prices last December to $83 a month from $73.

YouTube TV's $20 offer left a lot of people underwhelmed and with questions, Rayburn said. (YouTube said subscribers would be notified through email when it's available.)

Still, YouTube has cultivated a creator-friendly, open brand with consumers. It's especially popular among young people and has become increasingly recognized as a destination for sports content. And it's speaking directly to its customers' wallets at a time of economic uncertainty.

"YouTube knows the cord-cutter mentality," Reputation Doctor's Paul said.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Portnoy Law Firm advises Inspire Medical, (“Inspire” or the "Company") (NYSE: INSP) investors off a class action on behalf of investors that bought securities between August 6, 2024 and August 4, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Inspire investors have until January 5, 2025 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors are encouraged to contact attorney Lesley F. Portnoy, by phone 844-767-8529 or email: [email protected], to discuss their legal rights, or join the case via https://portnoylaw.com/inspire-medical. The Portnoy Law Firm can provide a complimentary case evaluation and discuss investors’ options for pursuing claims to recover their losses.

The Inspire Medical class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Inspire V launch was a disaster because demand for Inspire V was poor, as providers had significant amounts of surplus inventory and were reluctant to transition to a new treatment; and (ii) contrary to defendants' statements assuring investors that Inspire Medical had taken all necessary steps to ensure a successful launch and, later, that the launch was in fact proceeding successfully - Inspire Medical had failed to complete basic tasks that were essential predicates to launch.

The Inspire Medical investor class action alleges that on August 4, 2025, Inspire Medical revealed that the Inspire V launch was facing an "elongated timeframe" due to a number of previously undisclosed headwinds. "[M]any centers did not complete the training, contracting and onboarding criteria required prior to the purchase and implant of [Inspire V]," the complaint alleges. Defendants further admitted that, although Inspire V's CPT code had been approved for Medicare patients, "software updates for claims submissions and processing did not take effect until July 1," which meant that "implanting centers would not be able to bill for those procedures until July 1," the lawsuit alleges. Finally, the lawsuit claims that investors also learned for the first time that the Inspire V rollout was plagued by poor demand resulting from excess inventory. As a result, Inspire Medical reduced its 2025 earnings guidance by more than 80%, the Inspire Medical investor class action alleges. On this news, the price of Inspire Medical's common stock declined more than 32%, the complaint alleges.

The Portnoy Law Firm represents investors in pursuing claims caused by corporate wrongdoing. The Firm’s founding partner has recovered over $5.5 billion for aggrieved investors. Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.

The company continues to offer corporate debt securities and equities to finance its Bitcoin acquisitions despite recent troubles.

Crypto treasury company Strategy is moving forward with its plan to expand Bitcoin holdings, pricing a new euro-denominated perpetual preferred stock designed to fund additional crypto purchases.

The company said on Friday that its Series A Perpetual Stream Preferred Stock (STRE) will debut at 80 euros ($92.50) per share, raising an estimated 608.8 million euros in net proceeds. Strategy plans to use the funds to buy more Bitcoin (BTC) and for general corporate purposes. The stock offering is expected to settle on Nov. 13.

The new STRE shares are senior to Strategy’s Perpetual Strike (STRK), Perpetual Stride (STRD) and common stock, but are subordinate to its Perpetual Strife (STRF), Variable Rate Perpetual Stretch (STRC) shares and outstanding debt.

The latest capital raise comes after the company had slowed its pace of acquisitions in October amid a general downturn in crypto treasury companies and a decline in the broader crypto market.

Strategy is struggling amid a downturn in treasury companiesStrategy posted $2.8 billion in revenue in Q3, down from $10 billion in Q2, and the company’s stock has been in a downtrend since July.

Ratings service S&P Global Ratings slapped Strategy with a B- credit rating in October, classifying the company as a “non-investment grade” entity featuring speculative characteristics.

Strategy’s stock has declined alongside other crypto treasury companies. Source: TradingViewFor context, the S&P’s top credit rating is AAA, 15 levels higher than B-. A rating of BB and lower is considered “non-investment grade.”

S&P said the company’s concentration of BTC holdings poses a risk to investors, and that it is too narrowly focused on BTC rather than diversifying its business operations and income streams.

Despite this, Strategy is unlikely to liquidate its BTC holdings during the next crypto bear market or go bust, analyst and BTC investor Willy Woo said.

On Nov. 7, bitcoin fell below $100,000 for the second time in a week amid reports of whales offloading millions in crypto holdings. Price Plunge and Market Impact On Nov.

Key takeaways:

Bitcoin dropped below $100,000 and could retest its yearly open at $93,500 as its momentum weakens.

The Coinbase Premium hit a seven-month low, reflecting strong US spot Bitcoin selling pressure.

Short-term holders are accumulating BTC, while long-term holders continue taking profits.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent weakness extended into Friday’s trading session, with BTC once again slipping below the $100,000 mark. The cryptocurrency could potentially retest its previous low of $98,200, a level formed on June 23.

On Nov. 6, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index, a metric that tracks the difference between Bitcoin’s price on Coinbase and other global exchanges like Binance, dropped to its lowest level since April 11. 

The premium turning negative implied that Bitcoin is trading at a discount on Coinbase, often reflecting stronger selling pressure from US-based investors and ETF-related outflows. Historically, extended periods of negative premiums have coincided with short-term price weakness.

Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index. Source: CryptoQuantHowever, Crypto trader Daan Trades noted that such phases are not unusual during broader downtrends. The analyst explained that the discount tends to emerge when the market faces concentrated spot selling from Coinbase-linked flows. While not a bullish sign in itself, Daan added, 

“The market rarely bottoms locally without first seeing such a discount.” In other words, a sustained price recovery following this discount could signal that the market is absorbing sell pressure, potentially marking the early stages of accumulation.

Onchain data further supported this mixed setup. The short-term holder (STH) net position change recently surged to a yearly high, suggesting that traders who typically hold coins for less than 155 days are adding to their positions despite the pullback.

Conversely, the long-term holder (LTH) net position change approaches yearly lows, indicating ongoing profit-taking from seasoned investors. This divergence indicates that while new buyers are stepping in, the absorption isn’t yet strong enough to establish a definitive bottom range.

Bitcoin short-term holder and long-term holder net position change. Source: CryptoQuantBitcoin may test the yearly open before recoveryFrom a technical standpoint, Bitcoin’s short-term charts, both the one-hour and four-hour timeframes, show no signs of a bullish reversal setup. The recent uptick in price was primarily driven by shorts covering, not genuine buying pressure. However, over the past few hours, BTC open interest has steadily risen while funding rates remained elevated, signaling that traders could be opening new long positions.

Bitcoin price, aggregated open interest and funding rate. Source: Velo.chartYet, unless BTC reclaims the $104,000 level as firm support, a deeper pullback toward $95,000 might take place, and potentially the yearly open near $93,500, in the coming week. Such a move could flush out remaining longs before setting the stage for a possible rebound led by short liquidations.

This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations. Every investment and trading move involves risk, and readers should conduct their own research when making a decision.

Strategy's latest preferred-stock sale doubles its initial target, expanding the company's bitcoin accumulation strategy.

Bitcoin (BTC) has signaled further midterm weakness. The flagship coin has been retesting a crucial psychological support level around $100,000 and has weakened it every time.

Why Is Bitcoin Price Likely to Retest $92k Soon?Failed ‘Uptober’ bullish narrative amid crypto liquidity crunch After Bitcoin price recorded its first red October in six years, it has been trapped in a mid-term falling trend. The flagship coin has dropped 20% since hitting its new all-time high (ATH) around $126k during the first week of October.

The BTC/USD pair has retested a crucial support level of around $100k and dropped to $99k twice this week. As such, the Bitcoin price is likely to drop further in the midterm fueled by the ongoing liquidity crunch.

Earlier this week, Wintermute noted that the crypto market has not experienced a new wave of cash inflow but a rotation of existing capital.

Re-awakening of old whales increases traders’ fear of further correctionAccording to on-chain data from CryptoQuant, old whales, led by Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy, have been moving their Bitcoins in the recent past. 

The notable surge in the re-awakening of old coins has coincided with the extreme fear of further crypto capitulation. At press time, CoinMarketCap’s Fear & Greed index hovered around 21/100, representing extreme fear.

Technical headwinds amid unfilled CME gap around $92kBitcoin price has fallen below its 50-weekly Simple Moving Average, and dipped below its two crucial support levels around $107k and $103.7k. Meanwhile, the BTC/USD pair is likely to drop towards its bull market support around $92k, which also coincides with an unfilled CME gap.

Bigger PictureDespite the mid-term bearish sentiment, BTC  price is likely to regain a bullish outlook before the end of this year. Earlier this week, JPMorgan Strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou noted that the Bitcoin price is undervalued relative to gold and may rally to $170k to match its performance.

The macro bullish outlook for Bitcoin is bolstered by the upcoming Fed’s Quantitative Easing (QE) on December 1, 2025.

AI cryptos like Near Protocol have been hit hard of late, but that tide may be shifting. Here's why.

High-performance AI-native blockchain Near Protocol (NEAR +36.82%) is one of those cryptocurrency projects that's seen a miniature boom-bust cycle play out in recent days as investor demand for anything tied to artificial intelligence has waned.

Some of the volatility certainly makes sense, with valuations in all pockets of the AI-linked economy seeing the impact of questions around future profitability and valuation concerns. But Near Protocol's 38.4% move over the past 24 hours (as of 12:45pm ET) does suggest there's more driving this near-term move than a reversion trade as investors pick winners and losers from among AI stocks.

Here's the catalyst investors appear to be watching today.

AI-enabled derivatives trading?

Source: Getty Images.

The thesis surrounding Near Protocol's growth prospects is tied tightly to AI. The developer team behind Near Protocol has emphasized the blockchain's robust infrastructure as the main reason investors should put their capital to work with the NEAR token.

However, recent news that trading activity on Near Protocol's Intent layer (a transaction layer that allows investors to engage in on-chain swaps) is surging appears to be driving significant investor appetite for this project today.

With nearly $4 billion in such trading volume reported this morning, right near this project's previous all-time high, it does appear that there are some fundamental drivers behind this token's move today. Indeed, if this level of trading growth can continue, there's an argument to be made that the whole AI narrative around this project isn't necessarily the driver investors should be focused on.

That's exciting for those who have put their capital to work in Near Protocol, betting on a confluence of factors driving this token higher. So long as trading volume on Intent picks up, and AI adoption continues, this is a token that could see more upside in the weeks to come.

According to Bayberry Capital, XRP’s market price does not match its real-world role. The hedge fund firm argues the token is often judged like a speculative coin when it actually serves as plumbing for moving value between financial systems.

The research compares the current stage of XRP to early internet infrastructure — quiet work laying the base while prices drift — and says many investors miss that deeper build-out. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has also stressed the token’s role across multiple settlement uses, reports show.

Bayberry Capital Warns Mispricing
Reports have disclosed that the investment house sees XRP as a liquidity tool, not just a tradable asset. It notes that institutional integrations, compliance work, and deep technical links take time to appear in prices.

The firm believes the token’s recent price steadiness reflects growing backbone work, rather than lack of demand. Market observers are urged to look past headlines and volatility and weigh actual settlement activity.

According To Onchain Data, Traders Are Shifting
Based on CryptoQuant data, open interest in BTC and ETH positions fell within the last 72 hours while XRP accumulation rose. That pattern is being read as traders rotating toward assets with clearer utility. The shift does not prove a long-term trend, but it does show changing flows in the short term.

Exchange Activity Shifts
Lookonchain flagged a large move on Hyperliquid where a whale opened a short position worth over $20 million. The same actor moved $7 million in USDC into that DEX before placing the trade.

At the same time, XRP’s price swung: after falling more than 13% to a low of $2.06 on Nov. 4, it climbed 6.27% the next day and reached $2.41. These opposing forces — fresh demand and a major short — are creating pressure around the current recovery attempt.

Someone created a new wallet and deposited 7M $USDC to Hyperliquid, opening 20x short on both $BTC and $XRP.

Ripple Partnerships Add Practical Use Cases
Reports show Ripple has expanded use of RLUSD after deals with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini. The company also raised $500 million at a $40 billion valuation, with backing that included Citadel Securities and affiliates of Fortress.

Those moves are aimed at making it easier to settle credit-card transactions on the XRP Ledger using stablecoins, and they provide more pathways for real-world usage.

Outlook And Market Tension
Bayberry Capital believes that slow-moving institutional adoption means the market underestimates what’s being built. Adoption, compliance checks, and systems integration do not happen overnight; they creep forward as partners sign deals and test flows.

Key Takeaways
What triggered Filecoin’s recent price surge?
The rally was driven by hype around DePIN Day and strategic partnerships promoting decentralized infrastructure.

Can Filecoin maintain its bullish momentum?
If buying pressure holds, FIL could target $2.6, but heavy profit-taking may drag it back to $1.7.

After hitting a local low of $1.2, Filecoin [FIL] finally broke out of a month-long consolidation range, hitting a high of $2.29.

At the time of writing, Filecoin was trading at $2.215, up 68.92% on the daily charts, reflecting intense bullish pressure. 

Over the period, the altcoin’s trading volume surged 901% to $1.56 billion, indicating steady capital flow. 

But what’s behind this sudden uptick?

Filecoin DePIN day sparks market speculation
Significantly, Filecoin rallied amid a sector-wide breakout across the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN) network. 

In fact, DePIN’s market cap surged 6.45% to $30.1 billion, while trading volume jumped 76.8% to $6.7 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. 

This sector-wide breakout was inspired by the highly anticipated DePIN Day in Buenos Aires on the 18th of November. 

During this event, Filecoin partners, including Protocol Labs, will discuss decentralized data infrastructure and enterprise integration. 

On top of that, the Filecoin Foundation announced a partnership with the GSR Foundation to fund projects supporting decentralized storage.  

Under the collaboration, the two will promote projects that entail human good, including human rights, science, and art. 

Speculators jump into the market 
Interestingly, investors positioned themselves in the market amid growing hype over DePIN day. 

The GSR Foundation announcement again backed investors’ bullish momentum. As a result, demand for Futures positions skyrocketed. 

In fact, according to CoinGlass data, Derivatives Volume surged 819% to $3.57 billion while its Open Interest jumped 115.8% to $275.23 million, at the time of writing. 

Source: CoinGlass

Typically, when these two surge in tandem, it reflects increased market participation and capital inflow. 

Meanwhile, its Long Short ratio surged to 1.02, indicating that investors mostly jumped into the market to take long positions. 

Thus, most participants in the derivatives were highly bullish and expected prices to rise. 

Profit taking reaches an all-time high
Unsurprisingly, after Filecoin hit a monthly high, investors and holders who had been underwater rushed into the market to cash out. 

According to Coinalyze, sellers have dominated the market since Filecoin attempted a rebound days ago. 

Source: Coinalyze

In fact, over the past 24 hours, Filecoin saw 88.25 million in Sell Volume, reflecting sustained profit-taking behavior in the market. 

Furthermore, exchange activity echoed this profit-taking trend. According to CoinGlass, Filecoin’s Spot Netflow surged to an all-time high of $6.45 million on the 6th of November. 

Source: CoinGlass

Since then, it has declined significantly, dropping to $2.36 million at press time, further indicating higher inflows. 

Usually, increased profit taking accelerates downside pressure on an asset, causing prices to decline. 

Can bulls hold and aim higher?
According to AMBCrypto, Filecoin rallied after breaking past the $1.70 resistance, with buyers stepping in heavily, confirming a bullish reversal.

As a result, the altcoin’s Sequential Pattern Strength (SPS) surged to 29.3, as of writing, indicating strong buyer dominance. Likewise, its Relative Strength Index (RSI) surged to 66, further validating this bullish shift.

Source: TradingView

Typically, when these indicators reach such levels, it signals potential trend continuation, holding the prevailing factors constant.

Therefore, if these conditions hold, Filecoin will reclaim $2.4 with $2.6 as the next significant resistance level. However, if profit takers overwhelm speculators, drowning the momentum, FIL will retrace towards $1.7.

XRP trades near $2.17, revisiting a key support zone seen before past rallies. Analysts watch for a breakout or further downside.

Ripple’s XRP is trading near $2.17 at press time, following a weekly drop of over 13%. Despite recent selling pressure, the asset has returned to a zone that previously triggered a strong rally.

Analysts are watching to see if the current structure could support another major move.

Testing a Familiar Zone
A chart shared by ChartNerd shows XRP touching the mid-regression band of the Growth Curve (GC). This same level acted as a base before the July 2024 breakout. The price now sits between $2.00 and $2.20—roughly the same range where the last rally began.

Notably, the chart outlines a possible repeat of that setup, showing a grey box that matches the prior consolidation. Long wicks on recent candles may suggest buyers are stepping in near the lower end of the range. ChartNerd commented that this zone “could be our foundational base,” but price stability is still needed.

Source: ChartNerd/X
Moreover, analyst EtherNasyonaL posted a monthly chart showing XRP trading within a clear range. The support level is marked around $1.99, and resistance sits near $3.31. The structure has held for several months, with the price continuing to move sideways.

The analyst described this as a re-accumulation phase. The setup remains valid as long as the asset stays between these levels.

“Unless the structure is broken,” they said, “this silence will trigger a new leg.”

A break above $3.31 would mark a shift in trend, while a drop below $1.99 could reset expectations.

Short-Term Charts Show Uncertainty
CryptoWZRD posted a bearish daily outlook, noting that both XRP and XRPBTC closed weak. The next resistance is at $2.75, with $2.00 acting as key support. A breakout above the daily high may open the way toward $3.65, but for now, the chart leans bearish.

On shorter timeframes, the price action has been choppy. A decisive drop below $2.30 may trigger a short setup, while a move above $2.55 could lead to upside. The analyst added that they are “waiting for a more mature chart formation” to take action.

On-Chain Activity and Wallet Growth
CryptoQuant market technician CryptoOnchain reported that large XRP holders have been sending coins to exchanges. This move is often linked with profit-taking or exits, especially during price jumps. The analyst described it as a classic “sell the news” setup.

Despite the pullback, 21,595 new XRP wallets were created in just two days—the largest spike in eight months, as CryptoPotato reported.

TL;DR

Trump Media reported a net loss of $54.8 million in the third quarter, marking its third consecutive negative result.
The company had invested $2 billion in Bitcoin and related assets, but the returns failed to offset BTC’s depreciation.
TMTG generated $28.7 million in financial income and is preparing to launch Truth Predict with Crypto.com, a prediction platform integrated into Truth Social.

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), owned by President Donald Trump, closed the third quarter with a net loss of $54.8 million, according to its report released on Friday. It marks the company’s third consecutive quarterly loss, with DJT shares hitting their lowest level in over a year, trading near $12.70 on Nasdaq.

The result comes only months after the company announced the purchase of $2 billion in Bitcoin and related assets, in an effort to adopt the crypto treasury strategy that has gained traction on Wall Street. However, the returns generated from those positions were not enough to offset the depreciation of digital assets and the legal costs associated with the 2024 SPAC merger.

The Bitcoin Downturn Hits TMTG
During the quarter, Trump Media recorded $28.7 million in financial income: $15.3 million from Bitcoin-related option premiums and $13.4 million from interest on other investments. Still, its overall balance sheet was impacted by Bitcoin’s price drop, which fell from $118,000 in July—when the purchase was made—to around $102,000 in November. The accounting adjustment on those holdings significantly reduced the group’s total digital asset value.

The market reacted negatively. DJT shares fell more than 4% after the report’s release, deepening the monthly decline to about 25%. Although TMTG holds roughly $3.1 billion in assets, the profitability of its core business remains limited.

Trump Prepares the Launch of Truth Predict
Meanwhile, the company is moving forward with its expansion into prediction markets. In October, it announced a partnership with Crypto.com to launch Truth Predict, a platform integrated into Truth Social that will allow users to participate in event-based prediction markets. The project aligns with the regulatory opening promoted by the CFTC under the Trump administration and aims to create a new revenue stream for the company.

Trump Media believes its involvement in the crypto sector and prediction markets will strengthen its financial model in the medium term. However, this quarter’s results show that even a multibillion-dollar position in Bitcoin has yet to reverse its operating deficit

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is back above $2.30 on Friday, as buyers stepped in at a key support zone that has repeatedly halted selling pressure this week.

Buyers Step In At Critical Support

XRP Price Analysis (Source: TradingView)

XRP rebounded from the $2.20–$2.25 region, a demand block that has served as structural support since June.

On the daily chart, XRP remains capped by the descending trendline from July highs.

Each rally since then has failed near the 20, 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs, which now cluster tightly between $2.43 and $2.67.

This zone has acted as a ceiling for over a month, keeping the broader structure in correction mode.

A decisive close above $2.43 would be the first signal that buyers have regained control and that the market may transition into a breakout phase.

Also, for trend reversal confirmation, price must flip the Supertrend level at $2.69.

Short-Term Structure Turns Bullish

XRP Short-Term Price Action (Source: TradingView)

From an intraday perspective, XRP reclaimed $2.27, and the Parabolic SAR flipped bullish, which pushed the price above VWAP, triggering short covering.

Momentum has accelerated as buyers formed a sequence of higher lows, marking a transition away from the prior downtrend.

Spot Flows Indicate Accumulation

XRP Netflows (Source: Coinglass)

According to CoinGlass, XRP recorded about $4 million in positive net inflows today after weeks of persistent outflows.

This indicates that holders are moving tokens onto exchanges, often a sign of renewed buying interest rather than distribution.

When XRP sees inflows at key support zones, short-term continuation tends to follow.

Key Levels To WatchUpside targets sit at $2.43, then $2.69, with a potential extension toward $2.90 if the breakout confirms.

On the downside, a loss of $2.20 would invalidate the current rebound and expose $1.80–$1.90.

For now, the structure favors buyers, but the next move depends on whether XRP can secure a close above the EMA cluster that defines the top of its compression range.

KKR executives signaled optimism for investment returns and dealmaking on Friday and sought to allay concerns about slower private equity fundraising, deal volume and credit defaults saying there was no reason for alarm.

Looking for a stock that has been consistently beating earnings estimates and might be well positioned to keep the streak alive in its next quarterly report? ServiceTitan Inc. (TTAN - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Software industry, could be a great candidate to consider.

This company has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The average surprise for the last two quarters was 66.67%.

For the last reported quarter, ServiceTitan Inc. came out with earnings of $0.33 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.18 per share, representing a surprise of 83.33%. For the previous quarter, the company was expected to post earnings of $0.12 per share and it actually produced earnings of $0.18 per share, delivering a surprise of 50.00%.

Price and EPS Surprise

Thanks in part to this history, there has been a favorable change in earnings estimates for ServiceTitan Inc. lately. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the stock is positive, which is a great indicator of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.

Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

ServiceTitan Inc. currently has an Earnings ESP of +10.87%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on December 4, 2025.

Investors should note, however, that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss, but a negative value does reduce the predictive power of this metric.

Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, but that may not be the sole basis for their stocks moving higher. On the other hand, some stocks may hold their ground even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.

Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Citi CEO Jane Fraser said that the company "worries" about the credit decisions smaller players will be making, as "exuberance" shows itself in large AI investments.
