In the fast-paced world of trading, investors often face the dilemma of whether to trade short-term fluctuations ($BABY bearish" or "baby bullish" moves) or holdfor the long term. Both approaches have their merits, but the right choice depends on your risk tolerance, market conditions, and trading strategy. What Are Baby Bearish and Baby Bullish Trends? -Baby Bullish A short-term upward price movement within a larger trend (could be part of a correction or a minor rally). - Baby Bearish: A short-term downward price movement, possibly a pullback or consolidation before the next major move. These minor trends can present opportunities for traders but may also mislead long-term investors. Trading vs. Holding: Which Approach Works Best?1. Trading Baby Trends (Short-Term Approach) Pros: - Quick Profits:Scalpers and day traders capitalize on small price movements. -Flexibility*: Adjust positions frequently based on market sentiment. - Lower Exposure Risk: Avoids prolonged market downturns by exiting early. Cons: - **Higher Transaction Costs**: Frequent trading leads to more fees. - **Requires Precision**: Misjudging a baby trend can lead to losses. - **Emotionally Taxing**: Requires constant monitoring and discipline. Best For: - Day traders, swing traders, and those using technical analysis. 2. Holding Through Baby Trends (Long-Term Approach) Pros: - Compounding Gains**: Long-term investors benefit from overall market growth. - Lower Stress No need to react to every minor fluctuation. - **Tax Benefits (in some regions)**: Long-term capital gains taxes are often lower. Cons: - **Missed Short-Term Opportunities: Holding through minor dips or rallies may mean unrealized gains. - Potential Drawdowns: Requires patience during market corrections. Best For: - Buy-and-hold investors, index fund holders, and those following fundamental analysis. Key Factors to Consider - Market Conditions: In highly volatile markets, trading baby trends may be more profitable. -Risk Appetite: Aggressive traders prefer short-term moves, while conservative investors hold. - Time Commitment: Active trading demands more time than passive investing. if you enjoy active trading and can handle volatility, trading baby bullish/bearish trends may suit you. if you prefer stabilityand long-term growth, holding through minor fluctuations** is better. Ultimately, the choice depends on your goals, strategy, and market outlook. Whether you trade or hold, discipline and risk management are key to success.

Ripple recently walked out of a legal tussle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with bruises and bragging rights. In a fresh appearance, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse suggested that it might pay its $50 million fine in XRP. Garlinghouse hinted that the tide is turning in Washington. A fresh SEC chair got appointed, and the US doesn’t hate crypto quite as much. However, the recent tariff war has managed to vanish all the gains registered by XRP since it finally ended its legal battle with the commission. In an interview with Fox Business, Brad Garlinghouse stated that the US government is going to end up with $50 million. He also mentioned talking about making that payment in XRP. This statement comes after US President Donald Trump announced that XRP, along with Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) would be included in a newly formed crypto strategic reserve . Ripple seems to be really enjoying freedom from the legal complications. One year ago, the crypto firm would not have dreamed about dropping $2 billion on a company like Hidden Road. Its recent buyout isn’t just a flex but a signal that the era of crypto companies going global while dodging US regulators may be ending. Garlinghouse thinks the industry is entering a “build, don’t battle” phase in America. The SEC has already decided to drop its appeal without any conditions while Ripple agreed to put down its cross-appeal. The commission will be keeping $50 million of the $125 million fine and the balance will be returned to the defendants. US regulators are finally softening up, institutions are no longer frozen out, and crypto has gone from villain to hedge fund’s favorite. “We’ve gone from headwinds to tailwinds,” Garlinghouse said. Brad Garlinghouse also took his shot at predicting Bitcoin’s price, saying he thinks that $200,000 is not unreasonable. However, he didn’t hype up XRP, saying that it’s “too close to home.” XRP has been the best-performing major crypto in the last 90 days. “I’m very optimistic,” the CEO added. Bitcoin price has fluctuated between highs of $83k and lows of $74k over the last 7 days. BTC is trading at an average price of $83,784 as of press time, down by 15% in the past 60 days. On the other hand, XRP has seen a major slump at the same time. XRP price slid by more than 16% over the last 60 days. XRP is trading at an average price of $2.11 as of press time.

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim has continued his big Bitcoin push as he attempts to make the city a Bitcoin-friendly city. According to reports, Sim mentioned that the push is a hill he is willing to die on, as he awaits the city staff report on whether digital assets could be integrated into the financial strategies and systems of Vancouver one day. Since he introduced the motion to the council in December, the Vancouver mayor has been on the move, trying to make people understand the motivation behind his obsession with what many will describe as a complex concept. He has done media rounds, appeared on podcasts and other events within the confines of the crypto industry, and even appeared as the keynote speaker at the Virgo Crypto Summit. The Vancouver Mayor gave his speech at the Sheraton Wall Center on April 4, a day before the council bye-election. ABC Vancouver, Sim’s party, had set up in the lobby right outside the ballroom where the event took place, with the party’s candidates–Jaime Stein and Ralph Kaisers–getting time to speak. Sim introduced both of them as supporters of the crypto community after asking, “Is it the end of the world if these two incredible individuals don’t get elected?” “No, but I’ll tell you what’s at stake: We put the industry behind by at least a year-and-a-half, and as we know in this industry, things are moving at the speed of light.” The comment was quite odd considering ABC Vancouver held seven of the 11 seats on the council before the bye-election. The reference to the year and a half is the remaining time until the 2026 general civic election. SIM, who is originally a chartered accountant and former investment banker has keyed into his push for digital assets. He mentioned that no matter what the staff recommends in the report, he will ensure more work is done on digital assets. “If they miss the mark, if they come up with recommendations that are factually incorrect or based on the wrong data, I will be personally filing an amendment to correct those discrepancies, and then we’ll vote on that as well, and then it will pass,” he told those present at the event. Stein and Kaisers fell short, ending up in sixth and seventh place among 13 candidates. The race was eventually won by Sean Orr of COPE and Lucy Maloney of OneCity, who share the thought that Sim has been wasting time on Bitcoin when issues like affordable housing, homelessness, and childcare need his attention. According to reports, the mayor’s motion in December directs staff to explore options to make Vancouver Bitcoin-friendly by carrying out a deep analysis of the potential to integrate BTC into the city’s financial strategies. One of the aspects that Sim included in his directive was to accept taxes and other fees in Bitcoin. The mayor has also called for the conversion of some part of the city’s financial reserves into Bitcoin, which he said is “to preserve purchasing power and guard against the volatility, debasement and inflationary pressures of traditional currencies.” He described Bitcoin as a decentralized, digital currency that acts as a hedge against the ups and downs of the central monetary systems. The Vancouver mayor added that the asset has been recognized by experts as the best bet against inflation and currency debasement, highlighting that it represents the best store of value due to its supply, which is capped at 21 million. Sim also pointed to the growing adoption of the asset across global economies, noting cities like Zug in Switzerland, Seoul in South Korea, and El Salvador that have fully adopted the digital asset. In his speech at the event, he touched on various areas of discussion while noting that they have the responsibility to do what is best for Vancouver. “This is a hill that I’m willing to die on because it’s the right thing to do. And from a purely selfish perspective, I want my boys to [continue to] live here,” the Vancouver mayor said. He also mentioned the rise in crimes associated with the crypto sector, noting that it is the way the criminals have decided to use the assets to launder funds. Sim added that his interest in Bitcoin is to protect the purchasing power of Vancouver in the years to come. “It is becoming mainstream. Nation states, ETFs, pension funds, family offices, investment advisors —they’re all starting to add it to portfolios. I would love to see Vancouver set up for the next 100 years. That’s my opinion,” he said. While he plans to seek re-election next year, he knows being the only mayor of a major city in Canada pushing Bitcoin could hurt his chances. “Most politicians wouldn’t even bring up the conversation for fear that it may hurt their election chances,” he said.
