XRP EXIT STRATEGY 21/22 BULLRUN Afternoon people,
I'd just like to say firstly thank you for all the support and for taking the time out of your day to consume my content. It's most appreciated.
Diving right into the charts here we are looking at the weekly chart for XRP. As we can see for quite some time we have been pretty much moving sideways, since we broke out and retested the 3 year trendline that had formed from the previous ATH. Price has been coiling up and the longer this goes on for the more violent the breakout will be. Going by the mechanics of the market cycle for XRP, I would be anticipating a parabolic move to the upside, in line with the majority of the market during this bull run. Since price has moved above the trendline it broke out of, an entire year has nearly elapsed and price is still nowhere near its previous ATH. Is XRP dead? hah far from it. The infants in this market and those who are impatient/emotional have lost faith in XRP. Not that you ever needed faith anyway, if you truly know what you're invested in. You know that time is on your side and all you have to do is position yourself the right way and wait. Historically in bullruns XRP moves last and it moves violently. Only once BTC hits it's top and begins to retrace, will XRP begin to move. Patience is key.
What we need to understand about XRP is that it is positioned to stand as the beating heart in the new financial system. When you think of Ripple you should think of Amazon. Ripple are going after all the money and will be to finance what Amazon is to everything else (lel). It is quite clear from looking at the charts, not even considering the fundamentals that have been appearing throughout this cycle. That XRP is heavily being manipulated. The SEC who's main function is to protect investors, have actually achieved the antithesis of this. This is all a show though, the SEC have been called in to stall the price of XRP whilst behind the scenes banks & financial institutions prepare. Soon the world will never be the same again and the new financial system will be here.
The case for XRP this bull run is a simple one and it is all programmed into the charts. The charts never lie and until they do, I will follow my exit strategy which I will include at the bottom. We know (as illustrated in the chart) that after XRP hits its ATH it drops 95/97% and finds its bottom after this percentage drop. This has happened twice in the past, of course past doesn't guarantee future performance. But until I see the charts show me something else, this is what I will follow. Keep this percentage drop in mind because it further strengthens the case for a 3 digit XRP this cycle that I will present later. (I know, I know bare with me).
Once the bottom has formed on XRP we can draw a fib from the ATH to the bottom to predict where price is going next. If you look at the 2017 run, once the bottom was formed you can lay out the fib and this presents price targets. XRP found resistance and support at the 1.272 & 1.618 before finishing its run with a move to the 2.272 (call it $3). After the ATH was hit there was a drop of around 96% to the bottom. At which point the fibs can be thrown on the chart again to plot future targets in the next bull phase of the cycle.
As it stands XRP still has it's previous ATH to overcome but once we see a close above this level, I expect a move to the 1.272 ($8), 1.618 ($27) & 2.272 ($242) during this bull phase. I initially believed that we would top out at $27 dollars and go no further, but upon further looking in to the charts. I believe that it's not only possible we hit the 2.272 as the top. It's highly likely. The factor which causes XRP to go parabolic to the 2.272 will be the result of the SEC case. I believe until we have a resolution we will be playing around the 1.272 and 1.618 fibs, but once we get the news. I expect a powerful move to mark the end of the entire bull market. Most coins at this point will already be in decline.
But doesn't a $242 XRP mean the market cap would be around 12.5Trillion. Isn't that impossible? Well market cap doesn't mean the same as it does in stocks for a start so using this metric as a limit to how far a coin can go is redundant. Plus it's very simple. Once the case is settled (at the height of the bull run) XRP will receive the clarity it so desperately needs. Once it gets this status, not only will all of Ripples partners go live with XRP, new investors will flood in and also XRP aside from BTC and ETH will be the only crypto in the space with clear definition. It seems a lot of money is about to pour into XRP and leave the disbelievers wondering how they didn't see it happen. They'll say we got lucky, we know luck has nothing to do with it. I expect us to get some sort of case settlement around the deadline date of 14th Jan. Worst case scenario is that we don't get the deadline and they push it back further. If this happens I expect XRP to stay above the 1.272 @ around $8. I call this one the launch pad. We will wait patiently to see how this plays out but know that as soon as the case is settled, XRP is off. Many will jump on the train too late, I have positioned myself in a way where I wont have to chase the market. I wait and let the market come to me. No emotions.
To further strengthen the case that XRP is going to $242. referring back to previous drops from ATHs. XRP bottoms out around the 1.272. It never revisits its previous ATH at any point whilst finding its bottom. Has illustrated on the chart. You can see that the only price point that allows XRP to fall by around 97%, has the 1.272 as the bear market bottom and still bottom out nowhere near the previous ATH @ around $3 is if we top at around 2.272 ($242). All the other fib extensions could be the top but it would mean either XRP falls below the previous ATH for the first time ever in its history. Or the drop isn't as deep as it has previously been in the last two cycles. These are possibilities to be considered and therefore my exit strategy accounts for this. For this to happen however, XRP would have to do something it has never done in any cycle ever. Again until the charts start lying, I will follow what they show me.
My exit strategy using 10K XRP example:
Split holding 50/50
Strategy 1
5K XRP
10% @ $4
20% @ $8
40% @ $13
30% @ $27
Strategy 2
5K XRP
1250 @ $10
1250 @ $15
1250 @ $20
1250 @ $25
Strategy 3
Upon a retrace from $27 (1.618) to $8 (1.272) I will buy back 50% of my original holding. This will have a sell target of $240 (2.272)
Bitcoin = 233K TOP
XRP = $242 TOP
So to clarify this is for educational purposes only. Don't forget to take profits and thanks again. Happy trading :)
Yours truly,
