70% drawdown and theyre still calling it avoid lol. anyone holding xrp since the 3.65 high is in deep pain
^ hard agree on OBV being misleading here. volume going up while price bleeds is just bagholders averaging down
dex_skeptic_404 calling it avoid at 70% drawdown is rich. thats exactly when contrarians start sizing positions. not saying buy but the crowd is usually wrong at the extremes
contrarians at extremes works until you remember xrp bled at every extreme for three straight years. cheap can stay cheap
crowd wrong at extremes works in liquid markets. xrp at 1.08 has a supply schedule and a legal overhang, the mean reversion case needs a real catalyst, cheapness alone has never been one
mean reversion needs a bid. xrp at 1.08 with etf flows stalling since june has no bid, the 3.65 high might as well be a different asset entirely
knife_catcher agreed, but the legal overhang clearing would be the catalyst. problem is nobody knows if thats this quarter or 2027, so SELL is the only honest rating left
death cross confirmed and RSI at 44, yeah this isnt bouncing anytime soon. the OBV accumulation is a trap
9 bearish factors vs 1 bullish and ppl will still buy hoping for a bounce. seen this movie before in 2022
rsi at 44 and the model finally agreeing with the chart. took nine bear factors to say what the death cross said a week ago
Ravi S. death cross plus OBV trap is textbook distribution. anyone buying this dip is catching a falling knife at 70% down from ATH
1.08 down from the 3.65 high and the bull case is still an ETF rumor that keeps not arriving. sell rating is just accepting the pattern
the ETF rumor is the charlie brown football of xrp. revived every quarter, price pops 8 percent, then silence. been that way since the ruling
etf_watch_404 the pattern is so reliable you could short the rumor pop itself. eight percent pump on recycled filing chatter, faded within the week, every quarter
cheap staying cheap is the xrp motto. three years of might as well hold at these prices and the supply schedule never sleeps once
30k deployment plan for a sell call this late is just content. nobody needed a spreadsheet to exit xrp under 1.10
nine bear factors, one bull, and the one bull is an ETF rumor. thats not a bull factor, thats a wish
the wish framing is exactly right. the filing chatter keeps resurfacing right as momentum dies, almost like somebody needs the exit liquidity more than the approval
a wish that keeps printing 8 percent pops though. faded every time sure, but trading those rumors beat holding from 3.65 by a mile. cheap vol is the only product xrp reliably ships
1.08 against a 3.65 high and the SELL only lands now. nine bear factors to confirm what the death cross said a month ago, analysis by committee
nine bear factors after the death cross already printed is adding footnotes to a verdict. sell at 1.08 sure, but this was a 2.40 conversation
chartlunacy called it, 2.40 was the exit window. now its just picking through wreckage at 1.08 while recycled etf chatter keeps bagholders dreaming
the 2.40 complaint is fair but plenty held the whole way down waiting for a sign. a late sell at 1.08 still beats watching it find 0.70
the 2.40 point stands, but a late sell at 1.08 beats holding for the etf rumor to save you a fourth time. that pattern hasnt changed since the ruling
nine bear factors and the only pushback is a rumor. the OBV line getting called accumulation while price bleeds is the funniest part of the whole report
