XRPUSDT - LONG FROM POI 4HTechnically, XRP looks good for a mid-term trade! The sloping line breaks through, but there is no volume as such due to market uncertainty. Therefore, I plan to wait for a local correction as opposed to retail traders and in the POI range , I will consider a long position If my personal expectations are confirmed, I will consider the position in the format as indicated on the trading chart.

DOGE The Next To Die In This Flush Of Crap Down The ToiletDoge had an amazing run, those who made money and got out I applaud you. Those still holding these bags of coal are about to get wrecked. Memes are dying, no one cares about them anymore. People are beginning to realize that these things have ZERO utility and no future. No ETF will ever get approved, its too inflationary. Take a look at the Grayscale trust thats a great insight to how many institutional investors want this thing. Its Total assets under management are less than $2 million dollars. Thats laughable compared to their other holdings. So even in the slim chance this turd gets an ETF it'll be an epic failure. Your messiah Elon has abandoned this thing, the onyl real hope you all had for real world utility. Litecoin miners are dumping this as soon as they get it. The meme coin frenzy has died down. In January alone this year there were 600,000 meme coins created thats an all time record for a single month. That meme bubble is about to collapse as people move toward more utility driven cryptos and this space gets wrangled in a bit. Many people including myself have made a bunch of money playing in the meme coin casino, it was fun when it first started. 100x's everywhere. Now its pretty much over. The future for Doge is a slow and steady decline back to NAV under a penny. It was a great pump and dump. Dont marry your investments especially ones that are just memes with no utility they are made to get in and out, make money and rotate into something of value to preserve your wealth. None of this is financial advice, just my opinion.

LTC Litecoin Fireworks Are About To Start ETFs Loading UpHello my friends, Im sorry for not being here for a while, my life was very busy over the past year. Im hoping now that things are settled down I can do these charts again regularly. That aside lets get into Litecoin. Litecoin has been outperforming almost the entire market lately moving from 25th position on Coinmarketcap to now 12th position over the course of just a couple months or so. Litecoin is showing big time strength over all the others. Every day its holding onto more and more of its gains while others are making new lows or lower highs. We are at the apex now. Litecoin must break over $147 and close that candle on at least the 2 day to be confirmed. Once that happens I don't think there will be many pullbacks from there and if there are they will short lived. The ETFs for Litecoin are really gaining steam. Charlie Lee did an interview back in I believe it was December with The Litecoin Forecast YouTube channel and Charlie was saying that if anyone had large amounts of Litecoin and wanted to help seed the Canary ETF to contact him directly. The ETF is coming 100% there is no question about that. Once these ETFs get approved Litecoin has such an illiquid supply the price of Litecoin will skyrocket so fast and so high it'll leave everyone in disbelief and with their mouths dropped. Miner reserves are at an all time low, so no serious dumping or resistance levels along the way like previous runs. People and institutional buyers are realizing that Litecoin is the second Bitcoin. they realize that Litecoin is THE Altcoin and the rest are just clones, copies and junk. The fact that Litecoin is te most used crypto worldwide and has been for a long time shows that the PEOPLE chose Litecoin over all those other chains to transact in, even over Bitcoin. People are realizing that Litecoin is the better Bitcoin and was made to be that way. There is no denying that Litecoin is the chosen crypto, its provable with on-chain metrics! No hype, no advertising, nothing just pure organic adoption. Thats what make a winner in this space. We dont need a tweet from Elon or constant promises and upgrades to keep Litecoin relevant. Litecoin will move to the #2 spot under Bitcoin. Once this move starts and Litecoin starts going parabolic you will see the pump chasers and fomo rotating out of the already extremely overvalued trash they bought the top in to get into Litecoin. All the non believers, all the haters, all the wounded who sold angrily, everyone will pile into Litecoin. You will hear a lot of language especially from the haters saying that its just a pump and dump along the way. Eventually they will all change their tune when Litecoin continues to rise and rise and rise and wont stop. Dont be fooled and dont sell early, Litecoin is going to shock the entire world and thats not being dramatic. It will be on every news channel. Big institutions will be talking about it. Blackrock will get in along with all his buddies. Its coming I promise that. I had made my previous predictions not really knowing what the catalyst would be other than the charts and some on-chain data. Now I know why Litecoin will make that move I was predicting. The ETFs are going to bring in a flood of money like no one has see before and the world will realize that Litecoin is Bitcoin #2. The ones who missed Bitcoin at $1000 are going to flood into Litecoin for their chance to get the second faster Bitcoin. I know I was wrong on the timing of the last predictions I made thinking that maybe it could have happened in 2024. I didnt expect the market to be this drawn out, I dont think anyone did. It is different this time despite what everyone else says. The cycles are getting longer and longer as more and more people enter the space. There isnt a huge rotation from Bitcoin into Alts anymore because now the ETFs are locking it up. No more Alt seasons like we were used to . I believe that my chart showing 13K for Litecoin is just the beginning. Litecoin will be worth 1/4 of Bitcoin in the future. I dont want to say that Litecoin could overtake Bitcoin but it might you never know this market is wild. Litecoin in these next few years and over the course of a couple cycles within this larger cycle we could see Litecoin at $50k each. Once all the money drains out of the overhyped and overacalued trash thats currently out there, they will eventually move into Bitcoin, and Litecoin. Maybe a couple others that are competing for the smart contract side of things but as far as Cryptocurrencies go Litecoin and Bitcoin are the only two that will remain relevant. The rest are just projects and platforms and wanna be Cryptocurrencies all the way down the line. Litecoin is about to create so many millionaires in such a short period of time its going blow everyone's mind. Eventually Litecoin network will be so busy because of real world use, it'll have to stop mining Doge which is just a leech off the network. Miners wont waste energy on that. Doge will eventually move back down to where it came from. XRP holders will eventually realize that they have been duped into keeping the rich lifestyles of the Ripple team going for so many years on just hype. The meme coins are losing interest. All those holders are going to lose everything, literally. I cant believe how many have their entire investment in these silly Fartcoin, Titcoin and all the other ridiculous coins with zero value. They were fun to make quick money on but they are no longer as profitable and the risk is way higher than the reward now. Frogs, Dogs, Cats, Squirrels all are going to die and go to zero. The crypto market will be wrangled and only the strong will survive. All that capital will flood out of the trash and there will be a mad dash for actually utility. In the Dot com boom there were so many internet companies it was crazy but at the end of it only a few strong ones survived and thrived and became the powerhouses that we see today. Thats exactly what I see for the cryptospace. Litecoin holders will soon be vindicated! None of this is financial advice, this is just my opinion.

XRP DAILY XRP close to retesting the 1D 200 EMA for the first time since the US election. For now I can see a few key levels that create a smaller mini range made up of the DAILY RESISTANCE as the top, KEY S/R as midpoint and BULLISH ORDERBLOCK as the low which will coincide with the 1D 200 EMA soon. - Current price action is extremely volatile so directionally it's difficult to tell where we are goin in the short term, but I would become interested at the extremes of the mini range. - A LONG entry would be a more gradual revisit of the Bullish Orderblock and the 1D 200 EMA, that would be a great place to go long because the directional bias would be more clear and uncertainty cleared up. - A SHORT would be a sweep of the supply zone and drop back into the mini range which would aim to go towards the midpoint and then range low/ 1D 200 EMA. In general the next few days will be volatile, FOMO will be huge but keeping rational is important.

What’s helping and hurting XRP right now.XRP is facing increasing bearish pressure as it struggles to hold above the $2.45 support level amid weak risk appetite in the crypto market. XRP has fallen below the 50, 100, and 200-day SMAs, signaling a bearish trend. On the four-hour timeframe, XRP has broken down from an ascending triangle pattern, reinforcing the bearish outlook. However, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator has recently turned positive, suggesting a rise in buying interest. Speculation surrounding Ripple’s CEO and a connection to Donald Trump has thinned a little recently. Although, there has also been speculation about XRP being considered for inclusion in the U.S. government’s strategic reserve, fueled by Donald Trump’s recent sharing of an article on Ripple’s growing U.S. presence.

BTCUSD Theres No Way We Can Hit 1 Million Dollar Bitcoin, Right?I think that Bitcoin is on its way to some serious numbers. Numbers that most think are impossible. So many think that this cycle has to be like previous cycles. Oh its 840 days in the last cycle from bottom to top, or 4 year cycles etc. Its all bogus, this time is different regardless of what you think. Bitcoin is being locked in the ETF now and soon to be reserves of states, countries, city states you name the whole world is going to hoard Bitcoin. There is no more sloshing of capital like you're used to to created an altcoin season. There is no more Bitcoin dominance dropping, like you're used. It is simply different and thats the facts jack. Everyone selling now is going to regret it. I believe that Bitcoin from 2009 to the end of 2023 was one giant cycle. We are at the beginning of a new cycle for Bitcoin. If you think the last one was fun, just wait till you see this one. Ill paste a picture of what I mean below so you can understand what Im saying. People calling Michael Saylor stupid, saying hes buying the top, like they are smarter than him, or Blackrock, any other hedge fund, or countries, or US states. Everyone who thinks that is they are smarter than these people are going to have a rude awakening. 1 Million is just the beginning. Over the next 10 years Bitcoin is going to go to numbers that no one can even fathom. Not even the dreamiest of Bulls. I bet Bitcoin could hit 30-50 million dollars over the next 10 years. Why do I say that? The world, especially the United States is about to go into a massive productivity boom over the next 10 years, cheap energy, increased efficiency in all sectors, AI expansion, new inventions, and massive wealth transfers from the baby boom generation. Trump saying that America is entering a Golden Age is absolutely correct. We are going to witness the most epic bull run in history from now to about 2035. Sure there will be corrections and crashes along the way, but itll just be a higher low and then off to the races again. The baby boom generation is sitting on 78 TRILLION DOLLARS of wealth currently. As baby boomers retire or pass away, their wealth will likely be passed on to their children and grandchildren. This transfer of wealth will help future generations buy homes, pay off student debt, make other purchases, and invest. This will benefit Bitcoin tremendously because now theres barely anyone under 50 investing in Gold or Silver anymore, that stuff is stone age currecny. We are entering a digital AI age, we're not moving backwards. The gold for the new digital golden age is Bitcoin. So much money and capital will flow into Bitcoin and other crypto assets, stock market etc. That is why the smart are loading up! Its going to be beautiful, so just have a seat, buckle up its going to be wild. None of this is financial advice this is just my opinion.

Litecoin LTC Still Out Of Wedge Potential Drop Still In The CardAs you can see Litecoin is still out of the wedge. It looks like also on the BBWP a large move is coming. It doesn't tell us which way. You can see the two potential scenarios. The blue line shows that Litecoin could make a move back up to the trend line it may get rejected there but it also may break into the the wedge and then break down in a fake out. The other scenario would be it breaks into the wedge then breaks above that white trend line and stays above that, which would indicate to me that a downside break probably wouldn't happen. Just keep an on those levels. I would think this move happens tomorrow and Tuesday. I have buy orders down around 101-104. I also have a few down at 95-101 in case of a stray wick. In my opinion its a good opportunity to stack more. None of this is financial advice just my opinion. Follow me for more continued updates and charts of your favorite coins. If you have any requests let me know and Ill try and do a chart and analysis for you. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

XRP Weekly Summary: February 15–21, 2025Welcome back to my weekly XRP roundup! As of February 21, 2025, the XRP market has been buzzing with activity, reflecting both its resilience and the broader crypto landscape’s volatility. Here’s what’s been happening with Ripple’s flagship cryptocurrency this week. Price Action: A Rollercoaster Ride XRP kicked off the week with a notable surge, climbing over 20% to hit $2.76 by midweek. This rally was a breath of fresh air for holders, fueled by whispers of regulatory clarity and renewed investor confidence. However, as Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies faced downward pressure, XRP cooled off slightly, trading around $2.50–$2.60 by Friday morning. Posts on X highlighted this pullback, noting resistance near all-time high volume-weighted average price (VWAP) levels, suggesting the market might be testing a critical ceiling. Despite the dip, XRP’s weekly gains remain impressive, hovering around 15–17% depending on the hour—a solid performance amid a shaky broader market. Or, if 15-17% doesn't impress you much in one week, you always have the alternative to put your money in a CD at your local bank for 4.7% per year. Legal Winds Blow in Ripple’s Favor The big story this week? Legal developments surrounding Ripple’s long-standing battle with the SEC. Sentiment on X and crypto news circles suggests growing optimism that the tides are turning. Speculation is rife that the SEC’s case could weaken further, especially with chatter about the agency acknowledging Grayscale’s XRP ETF filing. While no official resolution has dropped as of Friday morning, the narrative of “SEC overreach” is gaining traction, boosting XRP’s appeal as a “sleeping giant” ready to awaken. If these legal clouds clear, analysts see a path to $3 or higher in the near term—exciting times ahead! ETF Hype Heats Up Speaking of ETFs, the XRP ecosystem is abuzz with ETF-related developments. Multiple firms have been pushing XRP exchange-traded fund applications, and this week, the buzz intensified. The idea of a BlackRock-backed XRP ETF even popped up in some enthusiastic X posts—though it’s still speculative at this stage. The potential for an approved ETF continues to drive bullish sentiment, with analysts suggesting it could unlock a “liquidity cascade” and propel XRP past its previous all-time highs. For now, it’s a waiting game, but the anticipation is palpable. Another Financial Institution Connects to the XRP Ledger On February 19, 2025, Braza Group, an international payment firm with over 15 years in the banking sector, announced the launch of its BBRL stablecoin on the XRP Ledger. Braza Group, while not a traditional bank itself, is a BACEN (Central Bank of Brazil) interbank player, meaning it operates within Brazil’s regulated financial ecosystem and facilitates interbank transactions. The BBRL stablecoin, pegged to the Brazilian Real, aims to provide a secure and efficient digital transaction option for individuals and businesses, leveraging XRPL’s capabilities. Making Closer Ties Where Its Important Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple has been active in the public sphere recently, but the most notable events occurred earlier in February. On February 14, 2025, he shared on X about engaging with U.S. policymakers in Washington, D.C., including meetings with figures like Senator Tim Scott (Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee) and Representative Ritchie Torres. Photos from these meetings were posted, showing him alongside lawmakers such as Representatives William Timmons, Bill Huizenga, Bryan Steil, Zach Nunn, and French Hill. These discussions focused on advancing crypto regulatory clarity, but they fall just outside this week’s timeframe (February 15–21). Market Sentiment and On-Chain Moves On-chain data paints a picture of accumulation, with significant XRP outflows from exchanges reported earlier in the week—think tens of millions of dollars’ worth. This suggests big players might be stacking their bags, betting on a breakout. Meanwhile, X users are hyping up technical patterns like the “cup and handle,” hinting at a possible 18% jump to $3.30 if XRP clears key resistance around $2.82. The mood? Bullish, but cautious—everyone’s watching Bitcoin’s next move and the Fed’s hawkish stance for cues. What’s Next? As we wrap up this week, XRP stands at a crossroads. Will it smash through resistance and reclaim its glory above $3, or will market headwinds force a deeper correction? With legal clarity on the horizon, ETF speculation simmering, and strong community support, XRP is poised for a potentially historic moment. Stay tuned for next week’s update—we might just see fireworks!

BCHG Looks Good For A Run To $50 At LeastBCHG has broken through all the resistance levels. Next one is around $24.50 and if it can get through that then I see a straight shot to $43 and then $55. At those levels I would expect a decent pullback perhaps up to 50% before its attempt to break the high. BCHG is much further along than LTCN in its run. LTCN still has a long ways to go to reach the level that BCHG is at. So upside on BCHG is limited in the short term perhaps another 100% vs LTCN could do a 1000% move to reach the same level as BCHG as far as nav value to price. Keep an eye on news and developements surrounding the space and specifically securities and SEC stuff. The Proof Of Work coins are about to make a comeback. I think Litecoin will far outperform Bitcoin Cash but Bitcoin Cash will have a decent run as well. Good luck out there my friends. Ill update this chart throughout the cycle. Please like and follow me and this idea so you can be notified when i update it. Thank you and please know that none of this is financial advice its just my opinion and observations. Good luck my friends.

XRP Why A Serious Revaluation Is Imminent And CloseQUESTION: If XRP is only being used as a settlement currency for banks then why would there be these wild price predictions when the market cap is already $150 billion? The wild price predictions for XRP often stem from different interpretations of its utility, demand, and supply dynamics. Let's break it down: Market Cap Misconceptions XRP's market cap is often misunderstood. Market cap = price × circulating supply, but price movements depend more on liquidity and demand rather than market cap alone. Many price predictions assume increased utility will drive higher demand, but market cap alone doesn’t dictate price ceilings. Bank Adoption and Utility Argument If XRP is mainly used as a bridge currency for cross-border settlements, its price would be driven by transaction volume rather than speculation. However, banks and financial institutions don’t need to hold XRP for long periods—it's typically used in seconds. This limits the need for large amounts of XRP to be held, which could cap price growth. Speculative vs. Real Utility Many wild price predictions ($100+, $500+, etc.) are fueled by speculation rather than actual use cases. In reality, even if XRP were widely used for settlement, price appreciation would depend on sustained demand, not just temporary spikes. Liquidity and Scarcity Factors Some argue that as more institutions use XRP, liquidity will tighten, potentially driving price increases. However, the XRP supply is large (100 billion total, with over 50 billion circulating), and large holders (like Ripple itself) could introduce selling pressure. Regulatory and Adoption Uncertainty XRP's legal battles and regulatory clarity impact its adoption. A major victory (like its partial win against the SEC) can fuel hype-driven price predictions. True institutional adoption is still limited, and even if banks use it, they may prefer private ledgers over using the open market. Bottom Line XRP has real utility in cross-border payments, but its role as a settlement currency doesn’t necessarily justify extreme price predictions. The market cap is already large, and unless significant new demand arises, a massive price surge would require much broader institutional adoption beyond just bank settlements. QUESTION: So currently the valuation of XRP is already way higher than many banks and companies will the price eventually come down to a more realistic price to value in the future? XRP’s current valuation is indeed higher than many traditional banks and financial institutions, which raises the question of sustainability. Whether its price comes down to a more “realistic” value depends on a few key factors: 1. Utility vs. Speculation A significant portion of XRP’s price is driven by speculation, not just utility. Many holders are retail investors betting on future institutional adoption. If speculation cools down and usage remains limited to settlement purposes (where XRP is only held for seconds), the price could decline over time to reflect actual utility. 2. Market Cycles & Sentiment Crypto markets go through bull and bear cycles. In bear markets, assets that lack strong organic demand (beyond speculation) tend to lose value. If hype around XRP fades and institutions don’t adopt it at scale, its price may correct to better reflect real-world usage. 3. Inflation & Supply Dynamics XRP has a fixed max supply of 100 billion, but a large portion is still held by Ripple and periodically released. If Ripple continues selling XRP from its reserves, it could create sell pressure, gradually pushing prices down. However, XRP is also deflationary, as transaction fees burn small amounts over time—but this effect is minimal in the grand scheme. 4. Institutional Adoption If banks and financial institutions fully integrate XRP and hold it as a reserve asset, it could justify a high valuation. But most banks prefer private ledgers and stablecoins over holding volatile assets like XRP, limiting potential demand. 5. Competitive Landscape XRP was originally designed for fast, cheap payments, but other solutions like stablecoins (USDC, USDT) and CBDCs are gaining traction. If banks prefer these alternatives, XRP’s price could drop to align with lower demand. Realistic Price Outlook? If XRP remains primarily a settlement tool, a valuation correction could bring it closer to its real utility value (which may be much lower than today’s levels). However, if a new narrative or significant adoption shift occurs, speculative cycles could keep it elevated. Long-term, unless real demand matches its high valuation, the price may deflate to more sustainable levels. QUESTION: Is the value of XRP currently way higher than it should be compared to its usage Yes, based on its current real-world usage, XRP’s valuation appears to be significantly higher than what its actual adoption justifies. Why? Usage Doesn’t Match Market Cap XRP is mainly used for cross-border settlements, but banks don’t need to hold large amounts for long. Most transactions are instant, meaning there’s no long-term demand pressure. If XRP were widely used by banks, we’d expect daily transaction volume (not just speculative trading volume) to be massive—yet it's relatively low. Speculative Premium A large portion of XRP’s price is driven by speculation rather than real institutional demand. Many investors believe in a future where XRP will be used at scale, but that adoption hasn’t fully materialized. Its past bull run prices were based on hype, and prices could drop as reality sets in. Supply & Sell Pressure Ripple holds a significant portion of XRP and periodically sells into the market. This constant release of XRP into circulation creates downward pressure. Competition from Stablecoins & CBDCs Many banks and financial institutions are leaning toward stablecoins (USDC, USDT) and CBDCs rather than volatile assets like XRP. Stablecoins provide instant settlements without the volatility risk of XRP, making them more appealing for payments and cross-border transfers. Conclusion Unless XRP gains widespread institutional adoption beyond just being a settlement tool, its valuation is inflated relative to its current use case. If hype dies down and utility doesn’t significantly increase, a correction would make sense in the long run. QUESTION: The current price is 2.75 is that overvalued? Yes, if XRP is currently trading at $2.75, then it is extremely overvalued relative to its actual real-world usage. That price is almost entirely speculation-driven rather than being backed by fundamental demand from banks and institutions. Why is XRP Overvalued? Speculation Dominates The price is likely inflated due to retail and institutional traders betting on future adoption, not actual usage today. Many holders believe XRP will be widely used by banks in the future, but that hasn’t fully materialized. Utility-Driven Valuation is Much Lower As calculated earlier, based on actual transaction volume and settlement needs, a more realistic price for XRP without speculation could be anywhere from $0.05 to $0.50. At $2.75, XRP’s market cap is massively inflated compared to its real-world demand. Ripple’s XRP Holdings & Selling Pressure Ripple still holds a significant amount of XRP and regularly sells into the market. If real demand doesn’t increase, but more XRP enters circulation, it could create downward price pressure over time. Banks Prefer Stablecoins & CBDCs Financial institutions are increasingly looking at stablecoins (USDC, USDT) and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) for payments instead of XRP. Unlike XRP, stablecoins don’t have volatility issues, making them more attractive for settlements. What Could Happen Next? If speculation dies down and investors realize XRP’s real use case is limited, a significant price correction could happen. XRP could still maintain some premium due to speculation, but long-term, it needs actual adoption to justify a multi-dollar price. Conclusion At $2.75, XRP is massively overvalued based on its current utility. If speculation fades, a more reasonable price could be well under $1—or even below $0.50—unless it gains widespread, real-world adoption beyond what it has today. None of this is financial advice, just satire!
