MASTERCARD PICKS XRP AS BRIDGE PAYMENT! ⚡ Hey hey, hope all is well, been a few days since our last post, we got a cool development and I figured I'd give a quick update and follow up with things on that note!
⚡ To start off, Mastercard has now taken on and recognized XRP as a bridge currency for international payments making sure to denote XRP's significance as a token which can process expedited and low cost international payments offering a low-cost solution for traditional international payment methods. One of these traditional payment methods notably is the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication or as it's better known and referred to as: SWIFT.
⚡SWIFT itself is basically a messaging network that helps banks all around the world process international money transfers averaging about 50 million messages a day or close to roughly $5 trillion per day and even including the 250 business days per year, close to $150 trillion a year. So basically we've got Mastercard picking XRP's fast and cheap expeditated transactions and network as a replacement to SWIFT's traditional message system.
⚡ May not seem too significant but considering just how much XRP is doing, it's slowly taking a bite out of the SWIFT system more and more as more companies and business pick XRP as their form of doing digital transactions replacing a system which has long been overdue for a change citing significant intermediary and middleman cost with traditional international payments as oppose to the sleek and efficient system that Ripple has created and is working towards on a daily basis.
🔥 So yeah, this is a great development for us, it's another step in the right direction and another step towards the Future and change that the company Ripple is seeking to bring about no doubt. Below I'll add a reference link to the Mastercard document which mentions XRP as a bridge currency as well as an article that speaks more on the subject for anyone who would like to check that out.

🔥 I've you've made it this far, I appreciate it, we'll take a quick look at our TA and wrap things up.
🔥 In our last idea we noted the main thing was just to watch that ascending channel and see if we could keep within it and we indeed have, we did have a 200 EMA crossover on the 3 hour but bulls managed to pull back up and into the channel so we're definitely in some wavy waters here. We're really testing that channel support as bears try to break it but bulls keep firm. Main thing right now is to watch if we can keep within the channel and potentially make another leg up to $2.4 and break $2.3 which is proving to be a strong horizontal resistance level.
🔥 So basically watch the ascending channel and the horizontal channel, if we do fall out of the ascending channel, next up will be the horizontal channel for a test of support so keep noted with that. Technical aside though we still do have the chance of the SEC approving an XRP Spot ETF soon which if done soon, would more than likely have us seeing a significant breakout and shift in sentiment on behalf of retail and institutional investors so definitely keep your eyes peeled.
🔥 I've got to run but I appreciate the time and and support as always, you already know I'm more than happy to keep you guys updated with me as we continue on with this long but well worth journey. Thanks so much as always and till next, keep posted and have a great day!
Best regards,

XRP | Second Wind or PUMP AND DUMP !!XRP is on another bullish leg at the current moment, moving strongly towards the next resistance zone.
I would however trade with much caution, considering the extreme pump and dump nature of the coin. With high gains in short timeframes, but also massive losses in sort timeframes.
A sharp wick towards the 50d moving averages already shows the buying pressure has likely peaked, even if the price can push higher the BINANCE:XRPUSDT test of the 50d MA is an early sign that bullish pressure is on its last leg:
I will say this: short term, if you look at the chart, you simply must be bullish. But I still won't touch XRP with a ten foot pole at this price. Other altcoins such as TIA present much better, lower risk entries.

XRP GETS THE ETF APPROVAL!✨ Hey hey, hope all is well, happy to be here with some good news as I'm sure many of you have heard as well, we knew this week could be intense but this is great to see, and without further delay, we'll give the quick rundown.
✨ Yesterday the 27th the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Approved three XRP ETFs from ProsShares which is an issuer of ETFs. The ETF's will be three XRP-tracked ETFs as listed: an Ultra XRP ETF, an Ultra Short XRP ETF and a normal short XRP ETF. So basically two ETF's with x2 leverage for the long and shorts and one normal ETF for basic shorts.
✨ Also to note is that the SEC has yet to approve ProShares separate application for a Spot XRP ETF so their still waiting on that approval alongside other asset managers with other XRP spot fund applications such as 21Shares and Grayscale so it seems the SEC is still waiting to approve any direct spot futures on XRP so when that does happen it'll no doubt boost price action and bolster sentiment. I've also added a reference link below to an article on the ETF's for anyone who'd like to read more into the matter.
www.theblock.co
✨Below we'll also take quick look at our technical analysis for the day highlighting a new channel that's formed since we last broke out of our descending channel.
✨As the chart demonstrates, we can see that traders managed to avoid falling below the horizontal channel we spoke on last time and that combined with the ascending channel that's formed and this ETF news has really helped XRP rally back up already over 6% for the week so happy to see the development and the S&P 500 itself has been rallying the last week so that's helped too.
✨ I'll leave the idea here for now, we mainly just have to watch that ascending channel for price action and hope traders can keep price within the channel and continue pushing, especially with the ETF news to help, so keep watch for that on the technical, watch news for the beyond technical and keep posted with me for more updates of course!
✨ As always, thank you so much for all the support, really appreciate you guys and let's keep at it, things will work out.
Best regards,

XRP AND CRYPTO WHERE DO WE STAND NOW? 🔥 Hey hey, hope all is well, it's another day and another chance to make a change and difference so let's keep at it and give it our best.
🔥 Last few weeks as shown in the chart below we've been following XRP which has been stuck within this descending channel and dragged down along with the S&P 500 as the market took a dive the last few weeks with Trump's tariffs and all the uncertainty surrounding him.
🔥Next we'll look to our 1 hour chart depicting that exit from our descending channel with the horizontal channel as well signifying strength above our $2.00 mark with bulls currently taking the lead, especially as the S&P 500 and market has been more optimistic the last few days contributing to things.
🔥 Main thing right now is to watch that horizontal level and that $2.3 mark which has proved to be resistance a couple times already so we can look to that for a pivot or possible breakout indicator when we come back up again to that mark so I'd set some alerts for that as well as $2.15 which is the top of our horizontal channel. I've been following this channel since the 19th and we can see just the kind of impact it'd had on price action from when we formed this on the 19th as shown below:
🔥 Since then it'd been pretty clear that once we exited the descending channel traders then took to that horizontal channel for price action, indicators as we can see we fell out of the channel once or two before getting pulled back in and breaking out and above the channel bringing us to where we currently sit above it and with that 200 EMA underneath us.
🔥 Next few days I would keep mindful of that 200 EMA as well as the channel, no doubt if we fall back within the channel we'll likely be caught up with some sideways trading action again as traders search for the next breakout or fall depending on how the market sentiment is next week, most of that will fall upon Trump and his words.
🔥 It should be noted that in the last few day's Trump's tone and stances have shifted with him essentially turning down the flame as he expressed, especially after Monday in which trump met with the CEO's for Walmart, Target, and Home Depot which are amongst three of the nations largest retailers with the CEO's warning trump on the effects of his tarrifs and how it would leave shelves empty and disrupt their supply chains. This meet seemingly promtped Trump to shift his stance announcing on Tuesday that he was in the works on trade talks with China looking at much lower tariff deal than the current 145% and clarifying that he had no plan or intention on firing Powell which spread fear and uncertainty in the market last week with some rumors floating around. So we'll have to see what stance Trump takes next week and if he can keep the flame down, and linked below is a reference link to an article for anyone else that wants to read up more:

🔥 As always, so grateful for the support and everything, appreciate you guys and wishing all the best till next, let's keep our heads up and keep pushing!

XRP Wave 2 or Wave B incoming Part 1Hello there,
I am presenting a bearish (short term; current post) count and a bullish count (in my next post). This is showing that we hit a truncated top (see previous posts; attached) and we are coming down in the $1.9 - $1.4 ish range to compete Wave 2 (or could be Wave B) of cycle. I see us pushing to the $2.9 - $3.2 ish range to finish the C wave of the Major wave B of the wave 2 before finishing. it seems to me that we are making a Flat in this sideways chop.
please review and ask me any questions
GOD BLESS AND TRADE ON

XRP Completed wave 2 early call?Hello friends,
Just wanted to post this and potentially call the end of the wave 2 correction of the Major Wave 5. It's possible we have completed this sideways combo. Finishing with a zigzag to finish the Y wave. If we go any deeper it may be actually a larger correction hitting to mid $1.5 ish.. I don't expect that to happen. It would be on the lower probability end. Lets see how everything plays out with the count. I did a small buy at $2.02. Have some more funds on the side just in case we go lower.
GOD BLESS and TRADE ON

XRP Updated Cycle Wave 5 of Wave 2From the spike we had yesterday, it looks like we have two options. Either we are making an 1-2, 1-2 OR we are not finished with this wave 2.. Considering how fast we went yesterday, usually I don't prefer that to be an impulsive wave. From the many counts and charts Ive studied there is an higher probability its a corrective wave, hence, an X wave in this case. X waves are named "suckers rally" for a reason. The price action we had from the retracement looks like an impulsive wave. This will indicate how we will finish this larger Wave 2. According to how sideways double combos end in this specific pattern set up, we are looking for a zigzag to finish. The B wave should be a 3 wave move to mirror the size and structure of the A wave impulse in the Y wave we are forming. I will be looking around $2.60 ish - $2.80 ish for wave B to finish. Plan to sell some XRP around there. Let's see how it plays out.
GOD BLESS AND TRADE ON
Updated XRP Count Wave 5My last post I initially thought we could be in a Contracting Leading Diagonal. Upon studying the initial bounce we got from the liquidation event. It looks like an Expanding Leading Diagonal. We have been in this "chop" which looks like a Flat in the Wave 2. I currently have buy orders around the $2.00 mark.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out
GOD BLESS AND TRADE ON
Descending TriangleAlthough this is the most bullish we've seen XRP, it's notorious for parabolic pump and dumps.
It's been hitting it's head on this red trend line for over a month.
With a recent break above $2.52, it's now using that price point as support. But now forming a descending triangle.
I would wait for either the white support line or red resistance line to break before making any trades.
MACD on 1D is going from bullish to neutral/bearish.

XRP | BIG NEWS | How XRP Gets to $10A few weeks ago I made an update about rumors of Bank of America using XRP for its internal transactions.
The United States is the world’s largest economy, with a GDP of about $27 trillion. If a major like Bank of America were to adopt the use of XRP, consider how it processes trillions of dollars every day. Imagine what this can do for the market cap. Currently, these transactions are run through traditional payment systems like SWIFT and FedWire. But if Ripple can come in with a real cost saving advantage, it's very likely that other banks may follow.
Apart from internal transactions. these banks play a key role in global financial transactions, which means that any shift towards the XRP could lead to massive liquidity inflows and increased daily trading volume for the currency.
In case of limited adoption within US banks, the price may rise to $2-5 in the medium term.
In the event of widespread adoption within the United States, if XRP becomes a core part of the operations of major banks, the price could reach $10-20, but this would require fundamental changes in the financial infrastructure.
In the event of global adoption led by the United States, the price could range between $20 and $50, but this requires years of development and legal regulation.

Trumps Tariff War and Crypto's Fight🔥 Hey! Hope everyone's doing well today, it's been a hectic last couple days as ever, especially with these tariff's Trumps been throwing out which has pushed the crypto market down even puling Bitcoin down to hit a 3-week low which saw the cryptocurrency drop below it's historic $100,000 mark.
🔥 Over the weekend Trump imposed a couple tariffs on Mexico and many Canadian imports of up to 25% and 10% on goods from China which will go into effect Tuesday.
🔥 With that news coming out over the weekend it's understandable that crypto crashed, with cryptocurrencies being the only thing that runs 24/7 we can see how traders effectively took to selling cryptocurrencies off the news and crypto ended up being the proxy for the news and ultimately taking the hit. Here's a link for reference:
www.reuters.com
🔥 Thankfully we can see how after the plunge crypto's recovered pretty well so that's been great to see that but gives us some good reference points at the very least, can see how XRP plunged to that 1.77 point before buyers snatched up that absolute bargain so least we can identify a solid support above $1.70 should we ever fall again or get another selloff.
🔥 And now we can see how XRP is trying to break back up into that $3 territory though we're facing that resistance at $2.8 understandably so definitely keep an eye out since we'll have to watch out for a possible breakout or if we'll retrace and converge with that 200 EMA again.
🔥 I've got to go but hope this idea helps some, wanted to get a quick post out while I had the chance before I leave for work, so thanks for tuning in and the support as always, really appreciate it and wishing all the best till next!

XRP/USDT Is This the Perfect Entry for a Big Move ?This chart of XRP/USDT, showcases a long position setup with a detailed entry, target levels, and stop-loss placement. The price action is currently positioned within a key support zone, defined between $3.05 and $3.15, where significant buying interest has been observed. Historical price movements indicate multiple bounces from this region, reinforcing its role as a strong demand area.
The outlined trading plan leverages technical analysis to project potential price levels and manage risk effectively. A stop-loss at $2.96 is strategically placed just below the buy zone to minimize downside exposure. The initial resistance level is $3.18, marking the first potential profit-taking zone. This is followed by subsequent targets at $3.22, $3.26, $3.30, and $3.35, which align with prior highs and areas of selling pressure. These targets provide incremental profit opportunities as the trade progresses.
The chart also indicates a bullish breakout from a consolidation phase, with increased buying momentum evident in recent candle formations. This momentum is expected to drive the price towards the resistance levels, provided there is no significant selling pressure. The risk-to-reward ratio improves considerably with each higher target, making the trade favorable for disciplined execution.
This setup is designed for leveraged trading. The approach amplifies potential returns while ensuring risk remains controlled through a predefined stop-loss. The $3.18 and $3.22 levels are critical for determining the strength of the bullish move, as price reactions at these points will dictate the likelihood of reaching higher targets.
This trade balances calculated risk with substantial profit potential, leveraging technical patterns and key support-resistance dynamics to optimize the long position strategy.
JANUARY 20TH! XRP UPDATE AND TECHNICAL! 🔥 Hey hey, hope everyone's doing well as always. Here we are now at the 20th with Gensler out and Trump now in office. I'll keep this idea brief since I have to leave soon for work so thanks for tuning in!
🔥 In yesterday's idea we noted that today would likely be a green and positive day which to say in the least it has been but we'll take a quick look at the technical:
🔥 In our 30 minute chart we can see XRP did end up breaking out of the descending channel we highlighted in yesterday's idea so that's been great to see and we just barely pulled up to $3.36 before that reversal started once we hit the resistance.
🔥 I decided to add a Fibonacci chart to see if that could help us identify any levels of interest which has worked out! We can see what levels do what now and use those for future reference in the next few hours, days.
🔥 Something of note I wanted to say is that in Trumps America First Priorities speech there was no mention of crypto nor Bitcoin. Investors took that with a heavy heart and we can see things how things sort of revers as the day's gone on understandably. Many we're anticipating trump to make an announcement or executive order on crypto but with that not looking to be the case we're getting this sorta buy the hype sell the news event.
🔥 Doesn't mean we're in a bad position but that's simply what looks to be driving today's market action. I've got to get ready for work but wanted to get those highlights and points of interest out for you guys, keep an eye on those levels and that 200 EMA.
🔥 Thanks for the continued support and as always, keep posted for more till next.

GENSLER'S EXIT AND TRUMPS INAGURATION! XRP IMPACT🔥 Hey hey, hope everyone's doing well today. Sure most of you are busy so I'll keep this short and concise. Thanks for tuning in as always.
🔥 With the exit of the SEC's Gary Gensler tomorrow as well as trumps inauguration in which many are anticipating, expecting trump to execute a series of executive orders, primarily in regards to the digital asset industry as he's voiced his support of cryptocurrencies and America holding a dominant position in the field.
🔥 Alongside trump's Inauguration we have Gary Gensler's exit which the crypto and digital asset industry is celebrating and no doubt that will be met with positive sentiment tomorrow alongside trump's inauguration. In lieu of Gensler's exit the SEC has also seen a number of ETF submissions highlighting what many are looking to as a positive road ahead for the digital asset space as many expect the SEC will take a kinder stance to the digital asset space now with Trump as soon to be president and Gary Gensler out of office. Referenced below is an article highlighting the recent ETF submission for any interested.
cointelegraph.com
So definitely expecting prices to be volatile tomorrow, anything can happen but as far as I can see, things look positive, it's been years in the work, but things are working well for Ripple and it's holders. We've persevered and the wait will be well worth it.
🔥 And as for a quick technical look, we're still within this descending channel so I'll be keeping an eye on that to see whether or not we can get a breakout or if we'll continue the trend down though with how tomorrow is looking, chances are we'll have a green day to say in the least. I've attached a 30 minute chart below for reference as well:
🔥 Have to go but as I said, a short and concise idea. Expect tomorrow to be volatile with news and positive sentiment likely driving the market so keep note of that and keep posted as always, let's make the best of it and thanks for tuning in, till next!

XRP SOARS AND THE XRP AVATAR RETURNS!🥂 Hey hey! Hope the new year has been great to everyone! It feels amazing to be back after being encased in ice for 100 years but I'm back now when the world needs me most, and for good! Short to say, the XRP Avatar is back.
🥂 Things have been nothing short of stellar for XRP the last few weeks much like a snowball headed down a hill, growing evermore as it rolls on down with nothing but positive and amazing news. Today's main driver has trumps words as he's expressed interest in the idea of creating an American strategic reserve for cryptocurrencies which could potentially include the likes of XRP, Solana and the USDC stable coin which is managed by CIRCLE. (Not to be confused with Ethereum's USDT*) I've attached a link to an article below for those that would like to.
www.coindesk.com
🥂 So that's basically been the main driver behind this rally today and why we're seeing XRP hit yearly high's as it flew over that $3 point just managing to hit $3.40 before we hit that resistance understandably.
🥂 And for technical we'll take a quick look at our minute chart where we'll be able to see that resistance:
🥂 Pretty clear that bulls are taking the lead as whales continue to save us and keep XRP from losing control or converging with that 200 EMA. We can already see how we almost lost the ball at 9:30am when we had that selloff but bulls managed to overcome sellers with crazy buying power preventing us from losing the 200 EMA. So that's been positive and we'll be looking now to that $3.38 horizontal level to watch for another possible breakout. Either way the news is running the trade today and it's nothing but positive so far.
🥂 As for support here's what I've got and what I'm watching as we lock in that support at $3.20 where we see price broke out and found support in two instances so we'll put that down as the support should we reverse or retrace. I'll set an alert for that to keep an eye.
🥂 Before I end this, just want to give thanks again. Really appreciate you guys joining me today and remember, the markets are going to be crazy the next couple days, especially as Trump gets inagurated and the market watches to see what moves he makes his first day in office with many hoping for him to take legislative action in regards to digital assets. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated so be sure to keep tuned and posted and till then, wishing all the best!
Best regards,

All Gas and No Breaks ( XRP and Crypto Market Cap)Analysis of XRP/USD & Crypto Market Cap
• XRP/USD Weekly Chart:
XRP continues to demonstrate strong bullish momentum, breaking through resistance levels and moving towards its Year All-Time High (ATH) at $3.3170. With the new weekly candle showing strength, the bullish structure is solid, and the market is setting its sights on retesting higher levels. The New Low (8HR) at $1.8991 has proven to be a solid base for the continued move upward.
• Crypto Total Market Cap (8M Chart):
The overall crypto market cap is also aligned with bullish momentum, moving towards a key previous high at $3.73T. With a solid close above $3.42T, the structure reflects an ongoing recovery from the 21’ High zone ($3.02T), which has acted as a major support. The long-term perspective suggests that once this retest is completed, the market is prepared for a potential breakout toward $4.44T.
• Key Observations:
1. XRP’s consistent bullish structure across higher timeframes (weekly chart) aligns perfectly with the broader market cap recovery.
2. Both XRP and the crypto market cap charts reflect a synchronized upward movement, reinforcing the idea of strength in the overall crypto space.
3. The “waiting for retest” levels in both charts highlight crucial resistance areas to watch for confirmation of sustained momentum.
My Overall Conclusion:
The charts are screaming bullish continuation, with key resistance levels lining up as the next targets. The title “ALL GAS AND NO BRAKES” perfectly captures the relentless momentum we’re witnessing in XRP and the broader crypto market. Stay tuned, as the next few candles could solidify this bullish narrative even further!
