This thread has been very helpful for me to be actually established in the position that TA for crypto simply don't work. This space has been sooo hugely manipulated that it just laughs at TA. Okay, a guy doing a TA can draw a conclusion as to where BTC is heading on, say, 15 mins chart, but definitely not any further. I appreciate your input @Eric123 and please dont take this message personal. Cheers and stay safe everyone.

What about BTC?

Guys, it takes a reasonable amount of efforts and patience to hold XRP as it trades sideways most of the time. XRP is probably the most boring DA out there. However you better get ready for epic appreciation and when (not IF, but when) it happens XRP will leave all (majority for sure) other DA behind in terms of % price growth. Its difficult to say when exactly will that epic XRP price growth commence, but my gut feeling tells me that it will be close to to BTC reaching its ATH (my guess is late 2020 - 1H2021). If you have a look at XRP price behaviour it was only once, in 2015 i guess, when it appreciated not linked to BTC run for its ATH. I agree with @Julian_Williams that adoption goes quite well, but it does not matter yet if we talk about XRP price rise. Jed's dumping will not matter during the next epic XRP price rise. What matters, as of today, in this wild market are: cycles, psychology of trading/investments and BTC ATH. That is it. When the next XRP price rise kicks in no one will moan about Jed or Ripple IPO or supply or adoption being slow or fast. Everyone will be nice and smiling here wishing good night to one another or asking how did you sleep at night, etc. I saw that in 2017 here. Stay calm and patient or sell otherwise. It looks like XRP investor has suffered the worst during the last couple of years. And yes: DYOR, do not invest more than you can afford to loose, have your exit strategy ready and stick to it. And yes 2: make sure your mind is not obnubilated by XRP price rise - i.e. do not wait for XXX pricing, don't get caught. Not a financial advise. DYOR. Cheers)

Interesting discussion, very rare thing in here recently. My thoughts (sorry for being chaotic): 1. I have become much more convinced to get almost fully out of my XRP stash in the next bull run. I could do so in Dec 2017, but no regrets YET, as it was a part of my investment strategy i adhere to. I always wanted to hold my XRPs through 2020 hoping to benefit from use case driven demand. 2. Adoption/use case driven XRP price rise is far away (at least 3 years from now) or may not happen at all. 3. I might increase my XLM stash to get almost fully out of it in thr next bull run. 4. An opinion of 1 person (even though with some insider knowledge and good understanding of the topic) should not be smth you dramatically change your investment decisions based on. Just to echo what @Caracappa has said above ^ re hierarchy in a company. 5. The next bull run will, again, be 100% speculative manipulation. Nothing to do with use cases whatsoever. Cheers

Well said.

I would agree with @SquaryBone's post above ^. I also find it a bit childish/desperate for an investor to draw conclusions (mainly positive) given what company (Ripple), what product (XRP) we are talking about. I mean that the company and the product are mature, healthy, wealthy enough to show decent progress/news themselves. I might be wrong but it looks very artificial to me.

Hi @tar any updates given we have almost! touched 0.16?

Bullish.

Bullish.

What is the time horizon for this in your humble opinion?

IDK what they want to achieve. And i did not say that they want to achieve low XRP. What i said was that XRP price behavior looks a bit strange in a way that was rather stable even if other market was not (incl BTC).

Wow. I would have given all my 'likes' allowance just for that post if i could. Thanks

No, pure manipulation ONLY, just like XRP. But the ways BTC and XRP are being manipulated are different based on what manipulators/whales want to achieve.

Exactly. Why XRP has been very close to 0.3 for a long time fluctuating to much lesser extent than absolute majority of the market? My guess is that there is a reason behind. Im not saying XRP is not just being let to reach and go through 0.3 suppory, what im saying is that XRP has been behaving like stable coin recently (well not exactly like but it was much more stable than other coins.) Why is that? Im not seeing utility based reason here as Philippines and Mexico volumes are way too low.
