Long XPL on trend reversal from fee demand
XPL (Plasma) is breaking a year-long downtrend, taking out the low and starting to trend back into the recent mid-range, still 90% below all-time highs. The catalyst is a new requirement that users must hold 100,000 tokens to access the highest fee tier on the upcoming card and app, which creates demand. The trade is entered just below 7 cents with 5x margin, targeting around 12 cents. The main risk is a broad market rollover from macro shocks (e.g., Trump comments, Iran-Israel conflict) that would hit XPL harder as a beta asset.
