The Hourly View for XRP
Last Updated January 12, 2021, 02:049 GMT
Currently, XRP’s price is down $0 (-0.11%) from the hour prior. It’s been a feast for bears operating on an hourly timeframe, as XRP has now gone down 5 of the past 5 hours. As for the trend on the hourly timeframe, we see the clearest trend on the 100 hour timeframe. Price action traders may also wish to note that we see a pin bar candlestick pattern on XRP. Given that we see an uptrend on the 20 hourly candle timeframe, and that such candlestick patterns often denote reversals, this may be worth noting. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.

It’s so obvious that XRP is being suppressed. We start breaking out and BTC dumps hard to get us to stop the bull run. Or exchanges all of sudden start having issues. That alone tells me we chose the right coin. When clarity comes utility will drive stability and price. F BTC 🖕🏼
- From JoelKatz:
@VentureCoinist @HypeBillion @MycolePawket My personal vision for XRP, since 2013 or so, was this idea of deep, open, public pools of liquidity that anyone, anywhere could contribute to and draw off of — a global market for assets that someone happens to already have exactly where someone else happens to need them to be.
- From JoelKatz:
@VentureCoinist @MycolePawket @Ripple To say bitcoin will beat XRP, you have to think that all that matters is its lead. It’s slower. It’s more expensive. It lacks on-chain features like account security management. We don’t know if block generation will be stable as the block reward drops. …
