Xrp-btc
Rippling into October (XRP/BTC)After my previous chart, it seems as though the XRP/BTC bubble cycle has been completed and it has found a new floor around 0.00005000 BTC. As you can see there was a similar pattern prior to the previous test pump after a long flat price level on both the candles and the RSI. With the upcoming conference on October 9th I would expect there to be a lot of hype built up and the price to reflect this hype in hope of a huge announcement. Whether there is a real announcement or not, market makers may use this to either test pump or to full on pump the price again. Best of luck to anyone deciding to trade this idea and let me know if you see anything different or have anything to add to this idea.
Thanks!
In depth medium to long term analysis of Ripple (XRP-BTC) 'EW'Hello everyone, here is my look on Ripple's current status. I plotted all the waves in the chart, if you have any questions or different opinions about the waves please feel free to comment about it.
Situation
After a huge move to the upside Ripple started a pretty long term correction. The correction was around 88%. although this seems devistating, wave 2 in crypto retraces 8/10 times 80% of wave 1. So this is actually quite normal, especially after making impressive gains. The slow down movement is caused by many people not willing to let go of their bags. Since there were not a lot of buyers it took a long while before most of the people ended up selling. Around 2 weeks ago ripples price went below the mean downtrend indicating the possible end of the downtrend.
Some more indications of bottoms:
1. Dying volume over the last weeks of the downtrend.
2. Disbelief sentiment on forums and chatrooms (which will continue till end wave 3, where most ppl will be bullish again).
3. Retrace of 85%.
On the breakout of downtrendline
1. Impressive volume and downtrend line acting as support.
2. Break and crossing of 35 & 100 MA with both acting as support and bottom of wave 2 of 3.
3. RSI now trending above 50 lvl. Look at RSI on chart.
Other possibilities
1. Complex correction: double zig zag.
In this case we just had the first zig zag, the break of the downtrend will be wave X, which Is an ABC where A is the same as wave 1 of 3 and C will end at around 2.6 extension of wave 1. After this correction the next zig zag will unfold leading to even lower bottoms.
Conservative approach: Sell 25-50% of your long at target wave 3 or C, which is between 13k to 16k satoshi (2.6 ext). and if the correction wave 4 Breaks the high of wave 1 (overlapping) sell the rest.
Stop loss
Break of the baseline of the parallel channel implies that the correction is probably not over and your best option is to take your loss here (3.4k satoshi).
If you want to enter, it's still acceptable to do so. But of course the higher the price gets the worse your risk/reward ratio will become.
Good luck!
XRP (Ripple) - Finally waking up?Ripple has to be one of the most confusing coins in the space now. They make amazing announcements and price drops. They have real world functioning partnerships with major banks, price drops. I have no idea what is motivating price action on this other than big fish pressing the price down. I don't buy into the whole centralized thing, as traders who move markets, don't care about this.
Anyway, I believe it's about that time for RIpple. As I mentioned in my post on LTC, it seems the original alts are coming back. Some with huge moves and some still TBD. A good time to invest is when people are hating and turning their backs and RIpple is certainly suffering that. The technology and purpose are not questioned and neither are their backers.
Centralization isn't always a bad thing anyway. For me, in the short term especially, we will need the RIpples of the world to make the public more comfortable with blockchain technology. I'm going to get my toes wet and see what happens here.
From a TA perspective, Ripple has hit a serious bottom against BTC. There is always lower to go, but this floor seems solid and we've already seen a small bounce. Descending triangles are not usually what I like, but both Stochastic and RSI are heading in the right direction. In particular, RSI is moving out of oversold territory. These tend to be signs of trend reversals and with a strong floor being established, I think risk vs reward is in my favor.
Let's see...
XRPBTC looks like a falling wedgeLooking at whole crypto market and trying to make some money out of my longs, this is the only graph that makes sense to me. XRPBTC is accumulating for quite sometime and everyone is waiting for a breakout. Bearish momentum is not that strong comparing to other cryptos and falling wedge means its getting weaker and weaker. Maybe the breakout is not in yet but ratio should go upwards at least to 10k-11k levels from here.
Thanks for following.
battle between #XRP and #BTCInvestors are cottoning on to the fact that Ripple is jostling for a leading position in the new Internet of Money. But very few know what’s going on under the hood. While most are aware of the difference between Ripple and XRP, anything beyond that gets murky.
What Is Ripple/XRP?
On the surface, this is simple. XRP is a digital, decentralised, alternative currency. You can bundle XRP in the same loose family as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and all their distant cousins.
Ripple has created an asset, XRP, somewhat similar to Bitcoin, with a limited supply, which will be reduced over time. External investors and traders make transactions on this instrument. To have an idea you can check on the web for charts of XRP/USD or XRP/EUR or XRP/JOY or XRP/BTC (the rate between XRP and Bitcoin). XRP’s existence is confined to the Ripple system or architecture.
After doing some superficial research, most people have to resist becoming a fully-fledged XRP nut. Individuals in the space compile charts far different from others in the financial sphere. Check out an example here. It’s flashy. Unpredictable. And will leave you stunned.
How Much Do Investors Know?
Most people who are piling money into alt or decentralised currencies have no real clue as to what the underlying technology is all about. So, what’s going on with this one?
If you go and visit the corporate site at Ripple.com, the first thing you see is the sales pitch: “Join the Global Settlement Network… Instant, certain, low-cost international payments”. Informative but not exciting. Then it talks about the Internet of Value. If it sounds like it goes beyond the Internet of Things, it does. By far.
Alt tech and newly invented currencies going well beyond any government intervention is a symptom of the new movement to disrupt everything in sight for the sake of efficiency, but it’s only part of a much wider and infinitely more complex overall picture. We stand here on loose and unpredictable ground that few understand. Many claim to understand it all after simply opening an online account with some shady broker and pushing $10,000 into Bitcoin, Steem, Melon, Radium, etc.
What Is the Dream?
For a startup who received a bit of money in 2012, including from CME Ventures, Ripple isn’t doing too bad. They are now sitting on billions of dollars of value (arguably created out of thin air).
Going back to the corporate site, we can read ‘’Using Ripple, banks can meet growing demands for faster, low-cost, on-demand global payment services for any payment size. The result: new revenue opportunities, lower processing costs, and better overall customer experiences.’’
Faster than Bitcoin, cheaper than any alternative out there, able to easily surpass anything currently in existence and allowing everyone, everywhere, to ensure real-time global payments, worldwide, in real-time. If this is not a script for (financial) world domination, I can’t think of a better story line.
We’re familiar with the Internet of Information – you use it each day to read emails and talk through Skype, etc. You have some knowledge about the Internet of Things, as tech companies push for all their products to be as connected as your smartphone.
Welcome to the Internet of Money. Where money becomes information and energy, sent, morphed, re-shaped, shared, at the same exact moment, in any and all places, all around the globe.
All the major international banks have heard the sales pitch and seen the numbers and in just a few years, they are now knocking themselves over to be part of the adventure. The fact that early joiners experienced cost savings on money transfers of about 50%, resulted in increasing margins and profits, sealed the deal and convinced all others.

XRP is my biggest position :) (more clear)Been buying dips along accumulation period in the 9k to 11k range. I wanted to make a more clear drawing of my prediction.
my stop loss is set to sell below the purple major trend line demonstrated in the drawing.
thinking it will hit 20K reject providing a secondary entry in the 17k to 18k range then another target for 34k to 36k range.
Let me know what you think! and I apreciate any form of feedback
Stay profitable!
