My projected future path for XRP.I just want to say thank you to all of my followers, both old and new! You can also help me grow by sharing my charts on social media either by link or screen shots. This is probably a great way to make myself look like a complete fool, but it's been right so far. The white arrows have been my projected path for XRP price over the next few day. In order for the rally to continue XRP must take and hold the .85 cent level. This level is crucial. We may tap it, and test it a few times, but there's also a chance that we could plow right through it. I know it sounds unlikely, maybe even a little crazy, but I think XRP will be around, or above the $1.25 level by Christmas! Keep your eye's on .85.

XRP will easily see a 20% to 25% gain from current levels.XRP has been on a tear this past week, and there's no sign of it stopping anytime soon! I think we will easily see XRP gain 20% to 25% in short order. I think there's a good chance that price will hit the bottom trend line of the developing wedge pattern first, but it also may not. Watch the top trend line as your key indicator, and adjust it as needed to help predict the next move up according to your trading ideals. Good luck!

AW XRPUSD ANALYSIS - Small Degree Price Action Explained...Although I am labelling Wave E as a 1-2 1-2 scenario, we could quite easily be in Wave 4 and Wave 5 down could be extreme. Regardless of that, I try and give some context as to what is going on at the small degree in case you were wondering. When XRP and XLM both end up at dirt cheap levels I will indeed be buying both. For now, I just see ongoing corrections for this bear market. For now, prices should fluff around this area before they make a move lower. It would be nice if this was the bottom because I would simply load up and post ideas indicating $10+ price action. I believe it will go way above 10 measly dollars after this correction is done but I also want to be real... and also buy it as cheap as possible. By the way, none of that is wishful thinking, if you watch any of my other videos, I barely ever talk about future price anymore. When I do start talking about the potential price then you will be very entertained at that point. Remember to use Disciplined Money Management Principles to ensure longevity as a trader.

Do not get fooled by bullish forecastsSince the summer, we have remained relatively bearish on XRP while later warning about the unsustainable rally right at its beginning. Then, as if it was not enough, we also set a medium-term price target of 0.30$ on 8th September 2022, which we updated to a short-term price target on 30th October 2022. This was quickly followed by the token dropping from 0.45$ (at the time of our announcement) to about 0.31$ only days later. After that, the rebound came, which sparked numerous bullish calls predicting a happy story for the token. However, we remained unfazed and said the rebound would be short-lived. Furthermore, we said the bounce would just push our price targets further into the future; indeed, we also set specific rules for their reactivation. Now, with the FED raising interest rates and the reality sinking back in, we would like to reiterate our bearish stance again. With that said, we maintain our short-term price target at 0.30$ and medium-term price target at 0.28$.

XRP's selloff heats upIn our previous post, we briefly discussed the relationship between the XRP’s price and market cap. Furthermore, we compared their various valuations to the equity market capitalization encompassing 59 400 companies listed on the World of Exchanges. Then, we said that we would like to see the price fail to break above the 50-day SMA in order to support our bearish thesis (while allowing for the temporary bounce above it, which would not present any threat to the primary downtrend). Subsequently, the price failed to break above the 50-day SMA and dropped from 0.365$ to below 0.34$. Currently, XRPUSD trades near the 0.338$ price tag. We continue to be bearish on the asset and maintain our price targets of 0.30$ and 0.28$. To further support our thesis, we would like to see the price break below its recent low (19th December 2022) near the 0.332$ price tag; meanwhile, we do not want to see a significant drop in volume. If the breakout is successful, we will pay close attention to 0.32$ and then 0.314$, which will act as a major support level since it is the lowest value following the XRP’s drop from 0.558$. *Check the attached articles to see the most important milestones on our XRP 2022 predictions roadmap." Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the daily chart of XRPUSD. We previously stated that the retracement toward the 20-day SMA and 50-day SMA is a natural occurrence and often coincides with corrections of the primary trend. The yellow arrow indicates the price’s failure to break above the 50-day SMA, which is bearish.

XRP not immune to the FED, settlement unlikely to be bullishFor the past few days, we did not give many thoughts to XRP as it continued to be choppy between 0.38$ and 0.42$. As a result, we abandoned our price targets in the previous article and introduced a setup for their re-activation. Since then, we have waited patiently for more signs of weakness to confirm our previous assessment about the unsustainable rally. In November 2022, volume continued to decline, indicating less trading activity at elevated prices. In addition to that, the total cryptocurrency market cap marked a new yearly low; and as if it was not enough, the overall situation in regard to fundamental factors did not change at all. The FED will continue its path of tighter monetary conditions, which will extort more pressure on the cryptocurrency market and drag prices lower. Furthermore, a potential settlement between the SEC and Ripple Labs, Inc. is about four months away. During that time, the FED is expected to raise interest rates at least once. As a result, we do not expect XRP to be any exception and become immune to tighter economic conditions. With that being said, we are also very skeptical about the general narrative considering the settlement as highly bullish for XRP. At the beginning of this bear market rally, we stated that this whole price action is very reminiscent of “buy the rumor, sell the fact” behavior. Today, we continue to hold this opinion and expect XRP to retest its recent lows over time. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the updated setup we introduced on 25th November 2022. Back then, we said that our price targets would become active once the price retraces back below the immediate support/resistance.

Ripple - Bullish retail about to get hit hardWe continue to be bearish on XRPUSD and maintain our short-term price target (0.30$) and medium-term price target (0.28$). Our view is based on a combination of fundamental and technical factors. Overall, our assessment is very similar to our latest post on BTCUSD; we believe the cryptocurrency market has not bottomed out yet and has a long way to go before reversing to the upside. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 displays the daily chart of XRPUSD. Interestingly, its structure resembles that of BTCUSD. Technical analysis - daily time frame RSI, Stochastic, MACD, DM+, and DM- are all bearish. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish. Illustration 1.02 Retracement toward the 50-day SMA and subsequent failure to break above it supports our early predictions about the rally being doomed to fail right in the beginning. Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI, MACD, and Stochastic are bearish. DM+ and DM- are bearish as well. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish.

Ripple - XRP crashes almost 40% since its recent topIn a wild route, XRP fell more than 27% yesterday (down approximately 40% from the recent top). On its way down, it broke below significant support levels and fulfilled our prophecies about the unsustainable rally. The price made a new low at 0.33604$ before reversing above 0.40$ and back to the 0.36$ handle. We remain bearish and maintain our short-term (0.30$) and medium-term (0.28$) price targets. Illustration 1.01 The illustration above displays the daily chart of XRPUSD and its decline from the recent top to the most recent low. Technical analysis - daily time frame RSI, Stochastic, MACD, DM+, and DM- are all bearish. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish.

Ripple - "Sell the fact"Merely a few hours after our warning, the price of XRPUSD fell more than 10% before recovering some of its losses. Interestingly, the price halted its decline slightly above the short-term support. Therefore, we speculate the price might end up trading within the wide range for an extended period; unless a breakout below the short-term support takes place and further confirms our bearish bias. Regarding fundamentals, they remained unchanged, with central banks pursuing tighter monetary conditions all over the globe (resulting in stronger fiat money versus cryptocurrencies). With that in mind, we have very little optimism about the prospect of a primary trend reversal in stock and cryptocurrency markets. We believe the bear market is barely halfway through, and much more pain is ahead. Accordingly, we stick to our recently updated price targets at 0.30$ (short-term) and 0.28$ (medium-term). Illustration 1.01 The image above shows the hourly chart of XRPUSD. The yellow arrow points to the highest spike in volume since the recent top. That confirms our bearish bias. Indeed, the volume spike came shortly after we shared news from @TradingView highlighting millions of XRP tokens being moved onto exchanges by whales, looking to sell at highs. Technical analysis - daily time frame SMA 20 and SMA 50 performed a bearish crossover. RSI, Stochastic, MACD, DM+, and DM- are all bearish. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish. Illustration 1.02 The picture above displays the daily chart of XRPUSD. The price stopped its decline just slightly above the short-term support; in its last rise, the price ceased its movement below the short-term resistance. A breakout below the short-term support will further bolster the bearish case. However, a failure of the price to break below this level might suggest that the price might end up trading within the wide range between short-term support and resistance for an extended period. Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI, MACD, and Stochastic show signs of exhaustion. DM+ and DM- remain bullish. Overall, the weekly time frame is neutral/slightly bearish.

Ripple - The recap of latest developmentsFour days ago, we warned that the Ripple cryptocurrency would attempt to test its low from 13th October 2022. Shortly after, the XRPUSD fell approximately 7.5% toward the mentioned low. However, it did not manage to break below it. Instead, it paused its decline slightly above it and reversed back up. Therefore, we will continue to pay close attention to this level and price action; ideally, to support our bearish thesis, we would like to see another attempt of the price to break below the short-term support. With that being said, we remain bearish in the medium and long term. Indeed, we are on the brink of changing our medium-term price target of 0.30 USD to a short-term price target (and long-term price target of 0.28 USD to a medium-term price target). Similarly, like in previous instances, we draw our conclusion from a combination of bearish fundamental and technical factors. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 recapitulates our statements in the past few weeks for the audience. Technical analysis - daily time frame RSI, MACD, and Stochastic are bearish. DM+ and DM- performed a bearish crossover. The daily time frame is bearish, although the trend is very weak. Illustration 1.02 The image above is a reminder that Ripple is still deep in the bear market territory, down approximately 86% from its all-time-high value. Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI is turning neutral. Stochastic shows signs of exhaustion. MACD remains bullish. DM+ and DM- are also bullish. Overall, the weekly time frame is losing bullish momentum. Illustration 1.03 While many people point out the rising volume on the monthly chart, Illustration 1.03 takes a closer look at what is going on in the weekly time frame; the volume continues to decline since the recent high in price, which does not support the bullish narrative for this cryptocurrency.

Ripple - Dreams and hopes about to get crushed! In our previous posts on the Ripple cryptocurrency, we pointed out the bullish breakout from the symmetrical triangle and signs of exhaustion accompanying this price action. In addition to that, we outlined a part of the legal case between the SEC and Ripple Labs, Inc., debunked a myth about the market-cap capabilities, and described an ongoing behavior in the Ripple community as merely a “buy the rumor, sell the fact” behavior. Today, again, we would like to hint at several worrying developments about XRPUSD. First, volume continues to hover around monthly lows, reflecting little to no interest among new investors willing to propel the price higher. Furthermore, the risk appetite in the overall market continues to decline with the prospect of higher interest rates and progressing recession. However, that does not seem to concern many market participants predicting the bottom and chasing the market with the vision of huge profits. Unfortunately, in our opinion, that is all it is - a vision of huge profits without regard for any macroeconomic factors. Indeed, we believe those on the buying spree over the past weeks will feed the ultimate selloff later as the general market progresses deeper into recession. In accordance with that, we have no reason to change our bearish bias toward Ripple and stick to our price targets at 0.30 USD and 0.28 USD. Our other reasons for that are described below and in the attached articles. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the daily chart of XRPUSD. Yellow arrows hint at the latest technical developments. The price retracement toward the 20-day SMA catches our attention as it might potentially foreshadow a failure of the trend to continue. Therefore, we will pay close attention to the price action. If the price holds above the 20-day SMA, it will be bullish. However, if the price fails to hold above this level, it will be very bearish for XRPUSD. Therefore, to confirm our bearish thesis, we would like to see a pick-up in volume accompanying a drop in the price. Technical analysis - daily time frame RSI reversed. MACD turned bearish. The same applies to Stochastic. DM+ and DM- are bullish. Overall, the daily time frame reflects the loss of bullish momentum. Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI turned neutral. MACD and Stochastic point to the upside. DM+ and DM- are bullish. Overall, the weekly time frame is slightly bullish/neutral.

Ripple - Symmetrical triangle and bullish breakoutToday, we would like to update our thoughts on the Ripple cryptocurrency. We continue to notice signs of exhaustion from the technical perspective. At the moment, we closely watch the symmetrical triangle on the daily chart of XRPUSD. The recent breakout from the pattern is bullish. However, we have no reason to change our bearish bias on Ripple. As we noted previously, we continue to think that the recent bounce higher still represents merely “buy the rumor, sell the fact” behavior. That view is also supported by bearish macroeconomic factors, which will be challenging for the whole market to overcome. In addition to that, a lawsuit between the SEC and Ripple Labs, Inc. continues to loom over the fate of this cryptocurrency. Because of that and other factors, we stay committed to our price targets at 0.30 USD and 0.28 USD. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the daily chart of XRPUSD. The bullish breakout took place from the symmetrical triangle, which is normally considered a continuation pattern. However, we would like to point out a significant decrease in volume as the price continued to rise and finally broke to the upside; that is a bearish development, suggesting a further loss of momentum. Technical analysis - daily time frame RSI shows signs of exhaustion. The same applies to MACD and Stochastic. DM+ and DM- are bullish, with ADX suggesting the peak of bullish conditions. Overall, the daily time frame suggests that the bounce nears its end. In order to invalidate this thesis, we would like to see a pick up in volume accompanying a breakout above the recent high. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 shows the monthly chart of XRPUSD. The yellow arrow points to the low monthly volumes. That reflects little interest among new investors, which is bearish. Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI and Stochastic are bullish. MACD is also bullish but stays in the bearish zone. DM+ and DM- are bullish. Overall, the weekly time frame is bullish; however, the trend is weakening. Please feel free to express your ideas and thoughts in the comment section.

The SEC vs. Ripple Labs, Inc.A brief history In 2004, a few years before the introduction of the white paper and Bitcoin by Satoshi Nakamoto, Ryan Fugger conceived the idea now known as Ripple. Initially, Ripple was not based on blockchain technology. The development of blockchain technology and its implementation within Ripple began in 2012 after Ryan Fugger handed over his project to Chris Larsen, David Schwarz, and the former co-founder of the infamous Mt. Gox, Jed McCaleb. Subsequently, this group of entrepreneurs founded OpenCoin and that same year began to use RipplePay source code to create their own ledger-based payment network for financial institutions. Later, in 2013, OneCoin was renamed to Ripple Labs Inc. and began raising funds. That same year, Jed McCaleb departed from the company to pursue the Stellar Lumens (XLM) project. Meanwhile, the Ripple cryptocurrency rose from a mere fraction of a cent to the all-time-high value of 3.55 USD in 2018. Although, after tens of thousands of percent in gains, Ripple lost more than 90% of its value within the following year. After that, in March 2020, XRP found a bottom and started to rise in a new bull market propelled by an unprecedented amount of quantitative easing and stimulus checks being handed out to American citizens by the government. However, despite other cryptocurrencies reaching new all-time highs, Ripple's performance remained muted in comparison to the previous bull cycle, with many people blaming it on the SEC lawsuit from December 2020. In a new uptrend, Ripple reached 1.98 USD before erasing most of its gains and returning to the range between 0.20 USD and 0.40 USD. After two years of court proceedings, the case nears its end, which has started the bullish speculation that elevated the price to a recent high of 0.55 USD, and which led us to announce a warning to investors. Just two weeks ago, we called the bounce characteristic of “buy the rumor, sell the fact” behavior. Today, we still hold this notion and remain bearish on XRPUSD. Accordingly, we stick to our price targets of 0.30 USD and 0.28 USD. The rationale behind our reasoning is described below. The SEC lawsuit against Ripple Labs Inc. In December 2020, the SEC filed an action against Ripple Labs Inc., alleging that the company raised 1.3 bn. USD through an unregistered digital asset securities offering. Based on the SEC's complaint, Christian Larsen, the company's co-founder, and Bradley Garlinghouse raised capital to finance the company's business by selling cryptocurrency tokens to investors in the U.S. and globally. In addition to that, Ripple distributed billions of XRP tokens in exchange for labor and various services. As if it was not enough, Larsen and Garlinghouse executed personal sales worth approximately 600 mil. USD, potentially breaking federal securities laws by not registering their sales of XRP tokens. The latest developments within the lawsuit and Hinman's remarks A few days ago, U.S. District Court Judge Analisa Torres ruled to release the documents from the former Director of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Corporation Finance. These documents relate mainly to the speech of Hinman at the Yahoo Finance All Economic Summit in 2018. In his 2018 speech, Hinman said that some cryptocurrencies would not be considered securities (and which many investors seem to consider bullish for XRP in the past few days). However, we would like to remind investors that right at the beginning of his speech, Hinman noted that opinions conveyed in the speech are opinions of his own, and not those representing the SEC. Then, just about a minute later, Hinman proceeded to distinguish between securities and potentially “something other than a security.” He noted that if a cryptocurrency carried a third-party promotion, it would most likely fit the security description. Subsequently, he described a promotion as raising funds (through selling tokens instead of issuing a stock) by promoters to fund a company's operations with the goal of achieving financial gains for themselves and their investors. Furthermore, he provided the example of the SEC case versus W.J.Howey Co. from 1946. In that example, Hinman outlined how the character of a transaction is a determining factor in whether an asset is a security or not. He later continued clarifying how a transaction could potentially not represent a securities offering. For that matter, he stated that the network on which a cryptocurrency is based would have to be sufficiently decentralized, and “purchasers would no longer have reasonable expectations that a person or a group will carry out managerial and entrepreneurial efforts”. According to Hinman's following remarks, only under such conditions, a transaction might not represent an investment contract. After that, Hinman finally proceeded to make remarks about Ethereum “while putting aside a fundraising of that company.” He stated that at “the current” time (in 2018), offers and sales of Ethereum were not securities transactions. Then, he said that over time there might be other sufficiently decentralized systems, like in the case of Bitcoin and Ethereum, while omitting any other cryptocurrencies, including Ripple. In next Hinman's remarks, he talked about “a plethora of federal regulations that apply beyond the securities laws.” Furthermore, he noted “a few things” that the SEC could look at in order to determine whether an asset is a security. “A few things the SEC could look at” or ask 1. Is there a person or a group who sponsors the promotion and creation of the sale of the asset? 2. Does a person or a group who sponsors the promotion and creation of the sale of the asset play a significant role in the development and maintenance of that asset and its potential increase in value? 3. Does a person or a group who sponsored the promotion and creation of the sale of the asset retain a stake and/or other interests in the digital asset? 4. Did the promoter raise an amount of funds in excess of what might be needed to establish the running and functional network? If so, did the promoter indicate to investors how these funds might be used to support the value in the 5. secondary market (or increase the value of the enterprise)? 6. Does the promoter continue to expend funds from the proceeds for enhancing the functionality or to just enhance the secondary market value? 7. Do people or entities other than the promoter exercise governance rights and have a meaningful influence on the network? 8. Is the token creation commensurate with meeting the needs of real users rather than feeding speculation? 9. Are independent actors setting the price, or is the promoter supporting the market? Our assessment As it is impossible to tell what will be the outcome of the legal battle between the SEC and Ripple, we are allowed only to speculate about the court ruling. However, based on Hinman's introductory remarks in his speech regarding personal opinions and not those of the SEC or its staff, we would argue that the speech is a weak point of evidence for Ripple. Indeed, we think the same about Ethereum and Bitcoin statements. Hinman said that Ethereum and Bitcoin were not cryptocurrencies at that particular time (during the speech - in 2018). Meanwhile, the lawsuit pertains to the period around 2013 and not to 2018. In addition to that, Hinman did put aside the early stages of Ethereum and its fundraising. Furthermore, he did also mention several requirements for a cryptocurrency to be potentially viewed as something else than “a security.” These requirements would require no third-party promoter and a sufficiently decentralized network, among many other requirements like no reliance on entrepreneurship of a company's leadership. However, after Ryan Fugger sold his project in 2012, the development of Ripple blockchain technology solely relied on the company's new management. Furthermore, the management (allegedly) profited from the sales of XRP as Larsen and Garlinghouse executed personal sales worth approximately 600 mil. USD. In our opinion, all these points represent a significant obstacle for Ripple to winning the SEC lawsuit.
