The Hourly View for XRP
Last Updated January 12, 2021, 04:017 GMT
Currently, Ripple’s price is down $0 (-1.09%) from the hour prior. It’s been a feast for bears operating on an hourly timeframe, as Ripple has now gone down 4 of the past 5 hours. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 100 hour timeframe. 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.

Behold! Here are the top tweets related to Ripple:
- 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. …
- From Fame21Moore:
I watched XRP sit at .20 cents, .18 cents, 10 cents, 3 dollars… But when XRP kissed .90 and then dropped to .17 i have to admit that had an affect on me. Didn’t sell, but it did fuck with my head.
- From Kevin_Cage_:
I’d like to repeat my stance since the noobs keep DMing me & misconstrue everything I say.I will not sell ANY of my LT $XRP. I can’t risk it knowing that many exchanges have halted trading. It is locked in cold storage & will be untouched (just like it has been for years)
