💥 The Craziest Week | XRP Important 💥

💥 Well. It's been one of those weeks. I haven't gotten the chance to post yet with a lot going on personally but I'll keep this quick and summed up best as possible.

💥 Seems we got a perfect storm scenario and well, that storm struck pretty hard as I'm sure most of you are aware of/possibly reeling from. We had the S&P 500 fall for another consecutive week with the market full of red heat maps all around.

💥 For XRP the main news catalyst was the SEC announcing that it had asked a federal judge for permission to appeal the original Ripple ruling in which XRP was declared as a non-security. Such news originally had helped send XRP as well as the Crypto market sentiment up overall and with the judge having granted the SEC's motional to file an Interlocutory appeal against Ripple Labs now things have turned sour sentiment wise.

💥 It's important to note though that Ripple does have the option as well to file an opposition to the SEC's motion and regardless an appeal is usually a lengthy process that takes months sometimes even and till any new decision is made, XRP still stands as a security and there's no doubt they will continue to make way taking advantage of that right now as they continue forming partnerships and work behind the scenes.

💥 Ripple aside we had China's Evergrande Group file for Chapter 15 bankruptcy (foreign bankruptcy) which has helped send a lot of stocks/markets tumbling globally. This isn't too unexpected but still with most of the market, we know that the market like's to take news and simply go flying with it whichever way. That on top of the Fed Reserve noting they may raise hikes again and the 30 year mortgage rate being at it's highest since 2001 just hasn't made helped show anything positive.

💥 That aside we know now that basically what's going on is the fact that the news combined with market sentiment has just all formed one perfect storm to send everything tumbling down, XRP got hit hard with that 15% drop to 0.50 but so did the rest of the market too with Bitcoin leading the fall. Crypto we already know how swayed it can be, a couple of market whales sold in a more than likely planned sell-off and sold off their stakes in crypto/market.

💥 Even stocks we're logging double digit losses this week, it's been a crazy market sell-off week with crypto alone shaving nearly $1 trillion over the course of a few days kicking us into a 34 (Fear) on the Fear and Greed Index via CoinMarketCap. Something else to note for the drop has been liquidations. Liquidations made up the bulk of the fall of most cryptos. In just 24 hours alone on the 17th nearly $1 billion worth of liquidations with BTC leading at $472 million and ETH alone at $302 million. If you don't understand liquidations dm me or ask below and I'll post on it. But basically they help contribute to sell-offs very much with stop losses and margin calls all playing a part that usually leads to liquidations and these wild drops.

💥 We've seen this happen time and time again where whales will trigger these liquidations/bad sentiment and a ton of bad news seems to come out of seemingly nowhere. I mean less than 2 weeks ago the market was having a blast. And now it's like the place is on fire.
But what matters is that we've seen this time and time again, just like things move down quick, they can move up just as quick. The money's simply flowing in and out like the tides but even so it's all crazy. Doesn't deter my faith in crypto at all but definitely can see how it's knocked out a lot of sentiment.

💥 One thing I like to say though. Like a smart man once said, "But it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward." ~ Rocky

💥 Don't let the news and sentiment kill your faith and spirit. As I continue to say, things will work out accordingly. And these falls have been thanks to the market itself sinking, so imagine what the heights will look like when the market rises itself and the money flows back in/we get back into the Bull market. Again I'm not a financial advisor but I just want to emphasize not giving up. The market's tough but I know that if your reading this, your way tougher.

💥 Ta wise below is our consolidation channel and the support at 0.50 which is understandable being it's a point of accumulation. We already touched that 0.45 with the wick extension and found immediate support there thus we're marking 0.45 as that last line of defense though the real defense so far has been at 0.50 with that seeming to be the entry point for many traders right now. Below is the 15 minute chart.

💥 I've added the consolidation channel in the yellow and should point out that as we come to fight with the 200 EMA, the main goal will be to regain that, BTC and XRP have failed time and time again since the peaks for both, failing to regain the 200 ultimately allowing us to fall like this with the market news as well contributing. If we can regain the 200 EMA it would be a nice boost and offer some more sentiment traders. Without any confirmations on regaining that 200 EMA for either the market traders seem real hesitant to enter which is reasonable.

💥Below is a quick 45 minute chart that doesn't have anything new aside from the annotation of the fall. As depicted, our chart and 200 EMA managed to exit from the MAIN diagonal resistance line though that was short lived as we ended up losing the 200 EMA again and fell back below the main resistance also triggering the sell-off.

💥 With that last bit done, I think I've made this idea a bit too long to call it a summary now, but it's been a wild week. Still though like I said my faith and belief is unwavering. We're gonna have days and weeks like this, but just like we'll have bad weeks, we'll have good weeks. Sorry for the length and all, just a lot I wanted to go over and with not having been able to post I just had to spill that out. Make sure you guys follow and leave a like or share, always helps me out even if it's just a simple click to me it's a simple gift. Thank you and all the best.
