The Hourly View for XRP
Last Updated May 18, 2021, 11:17 GMT
At the time of this writing, Ripple’s price is down $0 (-0.12%) 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. Regarding the trend, note that the strongest trend exists on the 20 hour timeframe. Price action traders may also wish to note that we see some doji and pin bar candlestick patterns on Ripple. Given that we see an uptrend on the 20 and 10 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 bearishness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a bearish alignment — meaning the shorter duration moving averages are below the longer duration averages, implying a stable downward trend.

Orlando City SC went up to DC United last night and came away with a gritty/ugly 1-0 win. I feel that’s what the XRP price is doing today – staying strong and getting the ugly gains against the headwinds. Somedays in life you just have to put your head down and DO WHAT IT TAKES.
- From sherpana1:
Telcoin $tel will hit $1. If ADA can run from 0.05 to $2.50 and XRP can do from 0.15 cents to $1.90, almost the same supply. Tel will do it, strong fundamentals and use case. Most people will buy Tel at dollar and will think they are getting at a cheap price. Patience is the key.
- From HammerToe:
@everlie_ng @DemRep3 XRP was designed by some Bitcoin developers to be a “better Bitcoin”. It was designed to do the same thing (peer to peer payments with no central authority) but without the energy usage.They then formed a company, Ripple, that went on to develop a SWIFT replacement using XRPL.
