$1.09 for XRP? Been waiting years for this thing to move. The 12k deployment plan seems risky.
52W high of 3.65 down to 1.09. XRP has been a graveyard for bagholders since 2021 and the death cross says more pain is coming
52W high of $3.65 means XRP is down 70%. Sell call makes sense given the SEC uncertainty.
XRP at 1.09 down 70pct from 3.65 and the analysis calls it a sell. death cross blocking recovery is just confirming what the chart has been screaming for months
12k deployment plan into a token with a death cross? the SEC case might finally resolve but the chart says this goes lower before it goes higher
