XRP target +180% to $5.00 by Jan-2nd 2018

٣٠ ديسمبر ٢٠١٧

Looking at the last rally and the clear fact that we are in the bullish flag, leads me to believe we are ready for continuation over the same time frame and same gains from the last rally of +180%, which will give us a target between $5.00 and $5.50 by January 2nd 2018.

This could be further pushed once Coinbase makes ripple available on their site.

I thought at first that it may be difficult to see the price rally to $10 after Coinbase puts Ripple online. However, it's possible we may see it go higher. The struggle I'm having is that the market capitalization will be very high to achieve a price of $10-15 or even $20 per XRP. I haven't done the numbers, but I know it's way up there for market cap.

In the back of my mind, I feel that it's possible that a large portion of the Bitcoin market cap could be quickly moved over to Ripple for a number of reasons:
- profit potential
- transaction speed (seconds, not hours)
- transaction fees (pennies vs $12-25 or more for BTC transactions)
- adoption and acceptance worldwide (Japan & India will bring $3-5 Trillion to the market cap far surpassing Bitcoin market cap)

There are a few issues to keep in mind about XRP:
- not fully decentralized
- controlled by the company
- not mined in any way, simply created, like US Dollars
- 100 Billion coins total
- More may be created, although 55 Billion are in Escrow to manage cost/value

ملاحظة

Only if we can break out of this bullish flag. It will likely happen. Maybe within the next hour or two. Then the rally begins to $5.00. I'll probably put in a sell order around $5 to realize gains, then buy lower after a short consolidation phase.

Since the markets appear delayed at this time, except XLM is doing well, I'll share an update on an alternate timeline for XRP:

First target $4.20 and second target around $10 within 2 weeks.

ملاحظة

More rumors about XRP on Coinbase.. this is just slightly delayed.

Here is my update below.

Earlier targets of $3.35, $4.20 and $5 have been slightly modified. $4.25 looks likely and may go sideways for a few days after that before we rise again towards $10 by the 15th of January. Or we may rise to nearly $6, then drop back to 61% retracement level, sideways for a few days, then a rise towards $10 by the 15th of January.

BTC is rising right now, a day earlier than I expected. Futures markets should open tomorrow January 3rd and we'll see the rally pushed higher, futures maybe targeting 60k or more.

This was almost a crash and burn over the holidays.. however.. it's coming through, like some of my TA, it may take an extra week or two to catch up. I'm trying to get my dates more accurate by measuring dates/times better, but it's difficult to get the timelines accurate.

Today we hit $3.00 and we're well on our way to my $5.00 target. Stay tuned.
