So, let's analyse Ripple again. I haven't analyzed Ripple in quite a while, which is unfair, since I made tha largest part of my profit in 2017/18 with XRP.
I entered back then at 0.25 USD, and sold from 2.85 to 3.35 USD, which was the best trade of my life until now.
Actually, I owe my financial freedom in the largest part to XRP.
So, what's the status of our favorite centralized scam-coin? Just kidding lol. I think XRP will have a strong use-case in the future, since banks actually do like its centralized nature.
Well, in 2014-2017, XRP saw a quite steady price with a strong baseline support.
It did a nice logarithmic decline, a fake-breakout of course also had to be, a bulltrap of epic proportions.
Then finally the breakout from this declining triangle. And then? The XRP rally that many are posting here on tradingview?
NO! Boring ranging for over 1 year !!!! Because altcoins wait for papa, Bitcoin. Only when papa tells: NO little children, now you can go play! Only THEN do altcoins start.
So, when bitcoin starts a rally, altcoins have a delay, and first will go sideways in USD terms. In ratio to BTC they first decline. Then after some months, the insane rally starts.
XRP broke out of the range in 2017, and made a nice total of almost x800 from the lowest support to the peak.
If it was to do the same again in the next rally, we could see an incredible 100 USD per ripple. Which is not unreasonable if you think that BTC will probably be at 150-200K USD.
So, there you go. This is in fact how I think that i will play out and I will of course act accordingly. Having ripple in ones portfolio, will be an extremely nice feeling in 2022-2023 ;)
I am short because expecting the longterm support at 0.13 USD, long ONLY when it breaks the range at some point in the next years. Probably in 2021-2022. It will then rally a bit longer,
because the altcoins become also slower as they grow.
