XRP/USD BULL RUN (HODL) XRP/USD – Bullish Explosion Leads To 17 Month Highs
Key Support Levels: $0.4, $0.388, $0.378.
Key Resistance Levels: $0.48, $0.68, $1.00.
Today, XRP surprised everyone as it exploded by a powerful 32.5%. The cryptocurrency started the day at $0.33 as it started to push higher to reach as high as $0.44. It has since dropped slightly to trade at $0.413.
The cryptocurrency had been showing signs all month that it was ready to start a bull run, but nobody could have guessed this type of price explosion was incoming. The coin had broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern at the start of the month as it started to push higher. XRP went on to reach $0.3 by mid-week and stalled here for a few days until it broke the resistance yesterday to reach $0.33.
XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, if the buyers can continue this epic bullish push, the first two levels of resistance are found at $0.42 and $0.44. Above this, resistance lies at $0.457 (bearish .786 Fib), $0.48, $0.486 (1.272 Fib Extension), and $0.5.
On the other side, if the sellers push lower, the first level of support lies at $0.4. Beneath this, support lies at $0.388 (.236 Fib), $0.378, $0.36 (.382 Fib), and $0.35 (2020 High).
As expected, both the RSI and Stochastic RSI are extremely overbought with such a powerful push in one day.
XRP(RIPPLE) try to break weekly resistanceXRP / USDT
Now its testing weekly resistance again
After multiple retests before
And after consolidation around 70 days
There is high chance it can break it this time
Because each time resistance tested became weaker
And alt season expected to start again
If btc doesn't drop (hard) i expect xrp to reach 0.3 at least soon

XRP/USD LONG SET UP (HODL )WE GOING TO THE MOON!(FULL BREAKDOWN)TECHNICAL ANALYSIS- FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS- NEWS- SIGNAL- FIB LEVELS- PRICE ACTION
XRPL Labs - the innovative Ripple-backed startup has recently announced the development of a revolutionary new banking app based on the XRP Ledger called Xign. The news was announced at the recent Bitrue event in Amsterdam that took place at the end of May.Xign is a mobile app that acts as a banking app without the use of banks. It allows users to check balances and transfer dollars, euros, XRP and other cryptocurrencies.
According to the founder of nodum. io and one of the lead developers at XRPL Wietse Wind, the new app is very easy to use so that even people who aren’t familiar with crypto wallets or digital ledgers will get used to it without any worries.
At the conference, Wind said that the mobile app is very easy to use and has stated that it delivers a user experience similar to traditional online banking i.e simple.
The app comes with an easy-to-use setup guide that enables users to take advantage of the app without any issues. On top of this, it will feature an account directory with look-up and social features to facilitate the non-technical transaction for its users.
The app will also be able to approve of deny payments to different individuals and firms.
Win has made it clear that XRP will be the app’s native asset. Other servies will be added later like a prepaid ILP Wallet.
QUOTED “So, what it will allow you to do is check your balance and send your funds in any currency, because the XRP Ledger can handle any given currency issued on the ledger… We’re not building a crypto wallet. We’re building a banking app. Except, without a bank. We’re building a banking app based on a digital ledger, based on the XRP Ledger and based on ILP (Interledger Protocol).”
A new poll reveals interesting XRP facts
The Daily Hodl online publication spotted a new Twitter poll that’s been conducted by pseudonymous Ripple and crypto enthusiast XRP_Cro, and this reveals that most of XRP investors believe the coin will surge above $100.
“A new poll that targets the XRP community and involves over 1,000 participants shows that 43% say they plan to partially or fully sell their XRP holdings around $100. 39% say they look to sell between $10 – $50, while the remaining 18% claim that they’ll unload between $3 – $10,” according to the notes.
As the Daily Hodl continues and reveals, “On the question of which crypto asset they think will give the biggest return on investment (ROI) in the next bull cycle, 77.9% chose XRP, while 15.7% placed their bets on supply chain management protocol VeChain (VET). Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) garnered 2.9% and 3.5% of the votes, respectively.”
Participants have also been asked which digital assets they are holding besides XRP – 65% of the respondents picked VeChain (VET), while 27% chose Cardano (ADA), 14% favored Stellar (XLM), and only 4.1% selected Ethereum.
Major distribution territories: $0.22, $0.24, $0.26
• Major accumulation territories: $0.20500, $0.19000, $0.18000
The market point between XRP and the US dollar yet continues trade around the same range trading territory of $0.20 mark as kept quite a while. Neither the base nor the counter has been able to make a significant move away from the range line.
All in all, XRP/USD buyers have been struggling to not to let down the crypto’s valuation goes below the previous low of $0.18 point. Meanwhile, bears have continued to press down the crypto’s price from a line a bit over the range trading area.
At the conference, Wind said that the mobile app is very easy to use and has stated that it delivers a user experience similar to traditional online banking i.e simple.
In this 2 Week chart of Ripple / United States dollar (XRP/ USD), there is a depreciating range from 0.5175 to 0.1105.
We can observe that the market then appreciated to the 0.206 level (identified by the yellow down arrow), just below the 23.6% retracement of the depreciating range at the 0.206552 level.
We can observe that XRP/USD then depreciated to the 0.1791 level, just below the 9-week Simple Moving Average .
We can also observe that the 0.1791 level was just below the 0.183462 level, representing the 23.6% retracement of the appreciating range from 0.1105 to 0.206.
If XRP/USD resumes its depreciation, price retracement levels below the current market include the 0.169519 ( 38.2% retracement ), 0.15825 ( 50% retracement ), 0.146891 ( 61.8% retracement ), and 0.130937 ( 78.6% retracement ) levels.
If XRP/USD resumes its appreciation, price retracement levels above the current market include the 0.265974 ( 38.2% retracement ), 0.314 ( 50% retracement ), 0.362026 ( 61.8% retracement ), and 0.430402 ( 78.6% retracement ) levels.
BUY XRPUSD WE GOING TO THE MOON (Highly Advise Buying Actual Shares Of XRP ON COINBASE)
Ripple’s XRP slid by 5.21% in the week ending 18th October. Reversing a 3.07% gain from the previous week, Ripple’s XRP ended the week at $0.24216.
It was a mixed start to the week. Ripple’s XRP rose to a Tuesday intraweek high $0.25998 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $0.2638, Ripple’s XRP slid to a Friday intraweek low $0.23783 and into the deep red.
Ripple’s XRP fell through the first major support level at $0.2438 before finding support through the weekend.
In spite of 2 consecutive days in the green, however, Ripple’s XRP failed to break back through the first major support level.
3-days in the red that included a 2.89% slide on Tuesday and a 2.36% fall on Friday delivered the downside for the week.
For the week ahead
Ripple’s XRP would need to move through the $0.2467 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.2555.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break back through to $0.2550 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and last week’s high $0.25998 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ripple’s XRP could test resistance at $0.26 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $0.2688.
Failure to move through the $0.2467 would bring the first major support level at $0.2333 into play.
Barring an extended crypto market sell-off, however, Ripple’s XRP should steer clear well clear of sub-$0.23 levels. The second major support level sits at $0.2245.
At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 0.01% to $0.24214. A mixed start to the week saw Ripple’s XRP rise to an early Monday morning high $0.24281 before falling to a low $0.24203.
Ripple’s XRP left the major support and resistance levels untested at the start of the week.

XRP and its role in the growing blockchain adoption
Another key point revealed by the Ripple report is the diversification in use cases by companies using blockchain technology. 98% of participants using a blockchain have deployed technology for supply chain management (62%), commerce, and finance (51%). So it’s not surprising that 99% of participants said their company could use a digital asset such as XRP to process payments or as a medium of exchange. In contrast to the 2018 results, this figure has grown by 94%.
Among the strengths that participants said blockchain technology has, the speed to make cross-border transactions received 40% of the responses. In this aspect, the digital asset XRP and its instantaneous transfers with Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity solution offer the most important benefit for respondent companies. Along with cost (32%) and reliability (27%), as shown below.Among the obstacles to blockchain adoption, participants mentioned a lack of regulatory clarity, the amount of investment required to implement the technology, and security. However, the results show that digital assets such as XRP are increasingly becoming an important part of the development of the blockchain industry. The report concludes:
Emerging markets are leading the charge, recognizing that responsible usage of blockchain and digital assets can unleash tremendous potential for their economy. Without a doubt, both will drive greater financial inclusion and economic growth not unlike the Internet’s impact. Mature markets stand to benefit as well
XRP - 4 Hour My ThoughtsIn the No Trade Zone... To risky not sure which direction XRP is heading. My question is, did we form a bear flag or is it played out already?
If we break all the resistance above, i would wait for the pull back and close and open above the channel. Short if we break the channel with a pull back. I like buying after the pull back because I've seen to many fake-outs.
SHORT TERM: Neutral - Bearish
MID TERM: Neutral Bullish
LONG TERM: Bullish - Next ATH
Short term bearish, because it looks like we are getting a bounce off the top of the channel and BTC is getting a slight pull back.

Very big moment In XRP...MOON.. or .. It remain unmoved ?XRP is in a very big pressure to show some pulse of live .
Xrp's "1 Month candles Chart" has shown some light. we just made the golden cross after a very "long long time".
First time after 2018 we are witnessing the "Golden Cross" in "1 month candles" chart.
In past we have seen Golden Cross in daily or weekly chart in XRP "BUT" first time we are witnessing "Golden Cross" in monthly chart.
Very excited moment, this may be the most awaited Reversal For XRP fans.
Lets see whether this golden Cross has any Relevance in Crypto World or not.
XRP - 4 Hour My ThoughtsHello XRP fans and haters, Andrew here, coming from burning California.
Hate to say XRP fans, it I'm still Bearish until we climb out of this dang descending channel. Sitting on top of support (the 21 MA). IF we break out of the channel and the 21 MA, good things could happen. The inverted H & S pattern could easily playout, due to the resistance and support lines, in relation to the existing left shoulder and head, a break with volume, could take use to the neck line .50 Fib RETRACEMENT line. Retrace to the Golden Pocket, .618.
SHORT TERM: Bearish to Neutral
MID TERM: Neutral to Bullish
LONG TERM: Bullish (with all other alts)
BTC is dominating market right now so most crypto are dumbing. If you are not in XRP right now, DON'T open any position, even if we break the neckline, it's still a crap shoot. For swing traders I would wait until we are in the buy zone, at around $0.33. I hear people say alt season is over, lol, in this next btc run, alts season hasn't even started.
XRP - 4 Hour My Thoughts - 9-17-20Update, I just updated and added a few markers. I also removed the possible Bear Flag, I feel the flag is no longer valid. I also changed my outlook from Neutral to Bearish, to Neutral to Bullish. There will hurtles on the way up or sideways motions will continue. The no trade zone in this chart is excellent are for scalper with an 8% swing. BUT, set your stops tight and ride the wave. Keep in mind BTC can change course at anytime, so set take profits and stop losses as required.
I am not an investment adviser, so do your own homework and seek help if you dont know what you're doing.

XRP/USD: ForecastSupport line plotted at 0.27380, price has bounced off the line for the third time now. I'm waiting on specific confirmations before placing any trades. If price decides to rise I definitely think 30 cent will be touched again, and possibly a new high will be created for the month. What do you guys think? Leave a comment below!
XRP NATION (HODL) BULL RUN ONCE WE BREAK $0.34XRP 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
