💥 XRP SHOULD I BUY OR SELL? IMPORTANT PSYCHOLOGICAL TRADING 💥 💥 Very important idea and question of the week here with our XRP should I buy or sell? Good question and let's see what we can figure, thanks for joining ladies and gentlemen.
💥 XRP's been trending between 0.77 and 0.80 roughly displaying this horizontal channel which has basically displayed this sideways trend with us getting one breakout above for a relatively short period before reversing with the market now testing the waters and looking for a pivot in either way.
💥 Amongst this period of waves and sideways trading I've been getting asked by a few people whether or not they should or should not sell XRP. To start off on that, the question is what is your objective. Before you open a trade you should tell yourself at what price you are going to sell at. In this case the majority of that has been $1.
💥 We nearly hit $1 with XRP's first run up before failing because the traders that had already bought at $1 before decided to sell at $1 as they'd seen the price get lost before and wanted to sell at that price which is psychological for the most part.
💥 If we factor that in then we know now that should we approach that $1 mark again, we'll likely see more sales as the individuals that didn't sell at $1 will see the previous bounce up, reversal and think, if it did this at $1, why shouldn't I just sell at $1 in case it falls down again?
And thus they sell.
💥 What's important is that next time we approach $1, even with the selling we won't have nearly as much as we did the first time with much of the first wave of buyers having hopped out already thus it'll give us some leverage and potentially allow us to breakout/get a leg up above $1 which would be incredible. There's no guarantee that'll happen of course but that's something you guys can take note of, whether or not it does will be if the market has factored in the price of the news and what that news is, it's significance.
💥 Next important thing is why you exactly own XRP. Did you simply buy in to reap a specific percentage? If so then you're more than likely happy with 100% and doubling your money and should sell if that's what your content with/goal was.
💥 What if you bought in because of the utility use case and you believe XRP has an even brighter future? Well in that case you as well as that class of traders/investors will most likely be holding for the long term a couple of years believing that XRP's price has a lot more to rise in the coming years alongside it's utility and real world use/adoption.
💥 Still even with all of that there is another option, you can always sell your XRP for the high percent gain and convert that to another crypto you have faith in. Here's one example of what I'm talking about:
💥 You originally buy $50,000 worth of XRP at 40 cents. Now it's worth $100,000 at 80 cents with a 100% profit. If you believe it has more potential to the downside then the upside you could sell it all for $100,000, then convert that into Bitcoin to give you approximately 3.33 Bitcoin at current prices. Bitcoin has yet to make any major moves being stuck at that $29,000-$30,000 range still so it would make sense to do that if you believe Bitcoin will go back up and further within a year or more. Thus your $100,000 could become $198,000 if Bitcoin we're to hit $60,000 again.
💥 Above is the example of taking profits from one profitable trade and putting them to work in another which may be less risky buy still reap rewards and percentages, sure you're chances of seeing a crazy quick and high percentage rise will be way lower than with XRP, but you're money would also be safer and more than likely still reap profits, albeit in the longer term.
💥 This is all relative to the market cap of course and your risk tolerance. With XRP's market cap of roughly $41 billion right now it still allows a lot more room for growth, to get 100% you would need another $41 billion. Whereas with Bitcoin being at $578 billion, you'll need another $578 billion to hit $60,000 or so. It's a big difference but that's where the risk tolerance comes in. XRP offers a lot more profits but at a lot more risk, whereas Bitcoin may offer less profits but with a lot less risk. That's where it's up to you to think about your tolerance and what you're plan exactly is.
💥Important thing to note is what percent your gains will be taxed at if you do decide to close. Remember that you'll be facing long term or short term gains depending on how long you've held/had and you're income. If you sell for a short term gain there is no 20% like with long term gains, the tax percent can go as high as 37% for short term so it'll range in between 10% and 37% basically. For long term the range is 0 - 20% based off your total taxable income. Below is a link to the site I used which details a lot more on capital gains.

💥 It's been a long enough idea I understand but I wanted to make some points clear, especially for those debating on whether or not to sell, so I hope that helps, because even if all of this were to help only one person, I would still be happy with that, anything for you guys. Thanks for tuning in and feel free to leave a like or follow, simply helps me, thanks.
