XRP NATION (HODL) BULL RUN ONCE WE BREAK $0.34
XRP suffered a smaller 4% price drop this week as it falls into the $0.286 support, provided by a .236 Fib Retracement. XRP started the week above $0.3 as it pushed above a shallow falling price channel. It managed to spike as high as $0.331 before the sellers stepped in and sold XRP lower.
On Tuesday, XRP penetrated beneath $0.3 as it fell back into the previous falling price channel. The coin continued to drop over the following days until reaching support at $0.286 (.236 Fib Retracement).
If the bulls can regroup at $0.286 and push higher, the first level of resistance lies at $0.3. Following this, resistance lies at $0.313 (1.414 Fib ExtensioN), $0.321 (bearish .886 Fib Retracement), and $0.331 (1.618 Fib Extension).
Against Bitcoin, XRP headed lower this week as it reached the 2435 SAT support (.382 Fib Retracement). The coin had attempted to push higher as it spiked toward 2700 SAT. However, the bears did not allow it to close a daily candle above 2560 SAT this week.
After rolling over from 2560 SAT, XRP headed lower and eventually broke beneath the 100-days EMA to reach the current 2435 SAT support (.382 Fib Retracement).
If the sellers push beneath the 2435 SAT, the first level of support lies at 2400 SAT. This is followed by support at 2333 SAT (.5 Fib Retracement & 200-days EMA), 2230 SAT (.618 Fib Retracement), and 2100 SAT.
Alternatively, if the sellers break beneath $0.286, the first level of support lies at $0.28. This is followed by support at the lower boundary of the channel, $0.264 (.382 Fib Retracement), and $0.25.
The weak rebound off the 20-day EMA ($0.285) on Aug. 20 suggests a lack of buyers at higher levels. If the bears can now sink XRP below the 20-day EMA, a drop to $0.268478 is possible.
The 20-day EMA has flattened out and the RSI has dropped close to the midpoint, which suggests a range-bound action in the short-term. A strong bounce off the $0.268478 support will signal strength and the bulls will try to push the price back to $0.326113.
Contrary to this assumption, if the bears sink the XRP/USD pair below $0.268478, a deeper correction to the 50-day SMA ($0.243) is likely.
With the launch of the latest Ripple gateway, gold just got a lot more useful. Gold Bullion International (GBI), one of the world’s leading precious metals providers, now enables people to trade digital units of physical gold, send it to friends and family, or even spend it online.
-Ripple publishes the quarterly XRP Markets Report to voluntarily provide transparency and regular updates on the company’s views on the state of the XRP market, including quarterly programmatic and institutional sales updates, relevant XRP-related announcements, such as Xpring and RippleNet partnerships, and commentary on previous quarter market developments. As an XRP holder, Ripple believes proactive communication and transparency are part of being a responsible stakeholder. Moreover, Ripple urges others in the industry to follow its lead to build trust, foster open communication and raise the bar, industry-wide.Disciplined, Responsible Stakeholders: Continued Pause in XRP Programmatic SalesIn Q2 2020, total XRP sales were $32.55 million (USD) vs. $1.75 million the previous quarter. Ripple continued the pause of programmatic sales, focusing solely on its over-the-counter (OTC) sales as part of providing increased XRP liquidity to RippleNet’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) customers. This added liquidity is vital as ODL continues to evolve and expand into new corridors. A healthy, orderly XRP market is required to minimize cost and risk for customers, and Ripple plays a responsible role in the liquidity process. As more financial institutions leverage RippleNet’s ODL service, more liquidity is added into the XRP market. That said, Ripple has been a buyer in the secondary market and may continue to undertake purchases in the future at market prices.Total sales (OTC-only, given programmatic pause) ended the quarter at 18 bps of CryptoCompare TopTier volumes. This is compared to total sales in the previous quarter (OTC-only, given programmatic pause) of 0.60 bps of CryptoCompare TopTier.
-Volatility
XRP’s standard deviation of daily returns over Q2 was 3.0%, representing a decrease in volatility from Q1’s 6.2%. XRP’s volatility over the quarter was lower than that of bitcoin (3.4%), and lower than that of Ethereum (4.2%).
Escrow
In Q2 2020, three billion XRP were released out of escrow (one billion each month). In total across the quarter, 2.6 billion XRP were returned and subsequently put into new escrow contracts. For more information on the escrow process
On-Demand Liquidity (ODL)
More than ever, financial institutions are seeing the value of RippleNet’s ODL service to provide instant, global payments and meet market demand, especially during times of crisis due to the exposed risk and increased volatility. In Q2 2020, ODL accounted for nearly 20% of RippleNet volume. Comparing just H1 2019 with H1 2020, RippleNet experienced 11x year-over-year growth in ODL transaction volume.

As for overall liquidity and volume, XRP ended the quarter as the fifth most traded digital asset as measured by rolling 30D volume. XRP volume remained relatively strong as overall digital asset volume saw a dip in the second quarter of 2020. The XRP Ledger saw over 85 million in total transactions and XRP’s adjusted transfer value (NVT) ratio was 200.512—the highest among all digital assets in Q2. The NVT ratio compares market cap to on-chain transactional usage, making it a good determination of an asset’s utility. XRPL also saw $20,138 in total transaction fees over the ledger—the lowest among all digital assets in Q2.
Early on, Ripple identified remittances as its primary use case, and will continue to focus on supporting low-value, high-frequency payments with ODL.
-Gold has served monetary and symbolic functions since before the beginning of recorded history. Today, individuals, institutional investors, and central banks continue to maintain strategic holdings in the highly sought-after precious metal. In all, the total market for gold is worth over $8 trillion.
The yellow element Au has stayed in vogue because of its physical properties. Beyond being yellow like the sun, it’s malleable, fungible, and moderately rare. But these same physical properties can also make it unwieldy to manage in the context of the modern world. By integrating with the Ripple protocol, GBI combines the historic qualities of gold with the capabilities of digital currency.
“Ripple changes the dynamics of value, allowing for a real-time market that can instantly trade between gold, currency, mobile minutes, and more,” said Steven Feldman, co-founder and CEO of GBI. “We have been leaders in combining technology and precious metals, and our integration into Ripple allows us to continue our push into digital currencies by enabling investors to now buy digital physical gold.”
This means that anyone holding bitcoin can purchase gold on the Ripple network in the form of XAU balances issued by GBI. These balances are backed by physical gold deposited in secure vaults around the world in cities like New York, London, and Zurich. The firm has over $1 billion in completed transactions, providing services to a broad range of institutional customers including Merrill Lynch.
Not only can users easily send gold to friends and family, anyone can redeem their XAU balances for physical gold delivery at any time.
And thanks to the flexibility of the Ripple protocol, which seamlessly manages all necessary currency conversions behind the scenes, holders of XAU can spend their gold wherever Bitcoin is accepted, such as Overstock, Expedia, and most recently, Dell
