Optimistic Repeating Pattern

4 Oca 2018

XRP is still strong as no fundamental information has changed (technologically useful for banks, used by credit companies, rumors about entering Coinbase).

As we have seen in the previous movements the correction went between 61,8 - 50 % fibonacci. Then a little consolidation sidewards before the next upward movement begins.

In my chart you can see the fibonacci retracement levels and time which I made for the previous and the current movement. According to this we will aim for a correction price range from 2,10 to 2,40 €, thats your dip (blue).

I guess we will see another consolidation sideward movement for tomorrow before it has to be decided in which direction it will move on, which will be up to around 3,25 € according to the overall trend, thats your target (green top).

Nevertheless, do not forget to set a stop loss limit below the green support or trend line. If this support breaks and shortly afterwars the bottom upward trend line breaks, we will see a much further movement downwards to 1,63 or even 0,83 €.

It seems, Coinbase is not adding any other cryptos: coindesk.com/no-new-crypto-coinbase-squashes-exchange-listing-rumors/

Let's see how this affects the overall trend of XRP, BCH and all the others that you thought could be added.

Some fundamental data:

1) Coinbase announcement is only telling that there has not been any decision for further cryptos yet. Also Coinbase seems to have some general issues which could lead to a delay in adding further cryptos:

3) Why mining is not important:

6 out of the current top 10 coins are non mineable, (a much more appropriate term, how can something be pre-mined if it can't be mined in the first place) look at the total supply of Tron & Stellar, Tron has 65 billion already in circulation stellar has total supply larger than XRP. Go and sit back and watch Bitcoin's market dominance continue to be eroded by the so called centralized coins with real use cases.

4) XRP Hedgefond

Why XRP?

First, having a hedge fund denominated in a cryptocurrency makes things far easier for investors who already hold a lot of cryptocurrency. No need to convert back to fiat and then later back to a cryptocurrency as we make investments. Everyone saves fees and time that way.

Second, XRP, developed by Ripple, is particularly useful for us. While we don’t have a commercial relationship with Ripple (they are not investors in our fund, for example), we are still able to use their super-fast and secure settlement infrastructure, as anyone else can. That means non-U.S. investors in our fund will have an easier time investing in us and making redemptions later. No need to rely on ancient fiat methods for cross-border currency transfers that are slow and laden with fees.

We’ll pay our own fees and salaries out in XRP as well. We want to “eat our own dog food” and be active users of crypto currencies in as many parts of our fund operations as possible, not just investors. This will make us better investors.

(...)

Some people think this is crazy and that we’re on the edge of a bubble-bursting meltdown in cryptocurrencies values. After all, a year ago the total market value of all cryptocurrencies was just shy of $14 billion. Today it’s over $300 billion. XRP alone has increased from $0.007 to $0.271 (a 38x jump) over the last year. “This is the time for everyone to get the hell out of cryptocurrencies!,” many people argue, “Not jump in with both feet.”

Others, however, argue that we’re just getting started in crypto. I’m one of those people. A year ago I was just a crypto enthusiast. Now I’ve altered my career path to focus entirely on cryptocurrencies and related technologies. And this isn’t just a short term focus. With this new fund I’m signaling my intent to spend the rest of my career on cryptocurrencies. There will be dramatic ups and downs along the way, but we’re in this for the long haul.

5) McKinsey to FinTech und why it is necessary

The irreplaceable status of banks does not, however, exempt them from having to upgrade their antiquated systems. Fintech solutions to consumer problems thrive because banks’ slow tech adoption process leaves end users frustrated. McKinsey identified “six markers of success” that fintech can offer banks to improve customer experience and meet increasing demand:

- Banks can begin the process of fintech adoption by building comprehensive data ecosystems. Financial institutions have access to large amounts of customer data. Fintech can help banks aggregate and analyze their customer data to create stickier offerings.

- Using this data, fintech can help banks create a well-designed, segmented, and integrated customer experience, rather than use one-size-fits-all distribution.

- Banks now compete with nonbanks to provide savings, loan, and investment services. Much of the success of nonbank brands in these spaces can be attributed to a friendlier user experience and new brands’ employment of digital marketing; a tactic dear to the hearts of the coveted millennial customer. If banks adopted players like Mint or Wealthfront, they could combine the reputation of legacy finance with the agility and modernized offerings of the newcomers.

- With acquisition comes the opportunity to aggressively mitigate the potential cost advantage fintechs hold through radical simplification, process digitization, and streamlining of legacy systems and technology.

- Rather than spending time innovating from within and reinventing the wheel, banks can rapidly leverage and deploy this next generation of technologies.

- All of the above enables banks to rethink legacy organizational structures to support a mostly digital set of services and banking environment.

6) Payment companies gonna use xRapid

Over the last few months I’ve spoken with ACTUAL banks and payment providers. They are indeed planning to use xRapid (our XRP liquidity product) in a serious way. This is a sampling of what I heard:

7) xRapid uses XRP

xRapid uniquely uses a digital asset, XRP, to offer on-demand liquidity, which dramatically lowers costs while enabling real-time payments in emerging markets. Built for enterprise use, XRP offers banks and payment providers a highly efficient, scalable, reliable liquidity option to service cross-border payments.

8) SBI Holdings to Blockchain and XRP

Based on Ripple’s estimate, a bank can reduce the cost of processing remittances by 33% using Ripple’s technology, and by 60% if we couple it with XRP.

(...)

What makes you believe that XRP is the best digital asset for payments?

Not only does it have a clear use case, XRP is faster, cheaper and more scalable than any other digital asset. I strongly believe it will become the global standard in digital currencies.

What’s your plan for utilizing Ripple’s technology and XRP in SBI’s businesses?

We have already moved aggressively to take advantage of Ripple’s technology, investing in the company in January of 2016, and later launching SBI Ripple Asia (a joint venture) in May of 2016. Very quickly, we launched a consortium of 61 banks, including the top in Japan to use Ripple for both domestic and cross-border payments. And, we are increasingly interested in looking to use XRP for payments.

9) Big players joining Ripple/XRP

3 of the top 5 global money transfer companies (tearsheet.co/changing-payments/5-top-remittance-companies) plan to use XRP in payment flows in 2018. Even more in the pipeline.

Additionally for those wondering how Ripple works and if banks have to hold or buy XRP on the market just read this posting: xrpchat.com/topic/4565-ripple-for-dumdums-a-laymans-explanation/

So the utility of the network and XRP as the ideal bridge currency on RCL is crucial to XRPs value and as market makers will need a significant amount of XRP in order to stay competitive within the currency bridge market.

Wait until 1,96 € (2,36 $). If it falls below chances are high that it falls to 1,80 € (2,17 $) or even to 1,62 € (1,95 $).
