XRP Heading to $200+?As I said in June, the XRP trial was likely coming to an end soon, and today the final judgement was received and Ripple has to pay a $125 million fine, which is much less than what the SEC was seeking and easily payable by Ripple.
SEC may try to appeal the secondary sales ruling but the appeals court and the supreme court both heavily lean right and are likely to side with Ripple. An appeal will create binding precedent which will ultimately help increase regulatory clarity by unifying inconsistent rulings from district judges.
From a wave perspective, this lines up perfectly with the a+b=c time target which created a bottom in July, as I said it would in June. Structurally, this may have formed into a flat with a complex expanding b-wave and a terminal c-wave. From here, wave-c should be retraced very quickly and that should end a correction which began nearly 7 years ago.
The retesting of the July low and the continued strength being shown is a strong sign that this chart is going to move up fast soon and start making ATHs this year. As long as July's low continues to hold then this chart will remain bullish. If that low is broken then it is best to stop out and reassess this chart.
Based on William's indicators, the OHLC on the last two monthly bars is very bullish, with July creating a nice wiseman signals and this month creating a strong bullish bar at this point in time. Momentum, acceleration, and SMMAs are indicating that volatility has become extremely muted and is ready to explode.
Volatility has become very compressed on XRP, so whichever way it breaks from this low volatility range is likely to see a significant increase in volatility. Almost all signs are pointing to a massive break up at this point, and volatility which could reach 2017 levels.
