XRP in positive consolidationXRP is consolidating as it tests key support levels. I created a bullish wedge at the beginning of December, and XRP broke above and below the wedge. On December 18, XRP broke below the upward trendline, signaling a price correction or a consolidation period that might drag out longer than expected. The On Balance Volume (OBV) shows that XRP faces high buying pressure, signaling positive sentiment to push XRP to resistance levels. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) shows that XRP spiked in buying pressure today at 0.43 (OBV) above the zero line, locking in positions that will keep XRP in the fight to consolidate around a price average of $2.42.I posted a Fib Retracement to indicate a buying zone if XRP breaks below support levels.
Fundamental analysis - In this idea, I'm looking at a more volume-based analysis for XRP because its exposure has been rocketing lately, bringing in new partnerships, institutions, and retail. The market has been bearish lately with its recent nose dive, but XRP looks to be handling it well.
Resistance - $2.90
Support - $1.70

XRP LONG TO ATHs! Ripple XRPUSD RLUSD XRP is Bullish to $4 at the very minimum. We successfully completed our retrace down to $1.95 to the dot. Expecting that to be our final support area and to start seeing consolidation, and upwards momentum. Media hype hasn't started yet, BTC is losing market dominance similar to 2017 2018. We are on the verge of another Diamond Hands bull run. Make sure to take some profits when emotions are hitting super dopamine levels of euphoria. The final pump happens fast and retraces even faster. The volatility will be insane.
Well keep tabs on this as the weeks go by. Good luck you beauties!
Ripple's RLUSD Launch: A Catalyst for XRP's AscentRipple has launched its stablecoin, RLUSD, which has immediately spurred a notable increase in XRP's price. This launch not only marks Ripple's strategic expansion into the stablecoin arena but also positions XRP for potential new highs, catalyzed by both technical and fundamental advancements.
Fundamental Impact:
RLUSD's Design and Utility: RLUSD is designed to be fully backed by US dollar deposits, US government bonds, and other cash equivalents, ensuring stability akin to traditional currency. Monthly third-party audits further enhance its credibility and transparency, making it a trusted bridge between fiat and crypto. Its multi-chain support allows for broader adoption and integration, particularly in cross-border payments and DeFi applications. This aligns with Ripple's vision to improve the efficiency of global financial transactions, thereby directly benefiting the XRP ecosystem.
Enhancing XRP's Ecosystem: The introduction of RLUSD is seen as a vote of confidence in CRYPTOCAP:XRP and the XRP Ledger (XRPL). By providing a stablecoin that complements CRYPTOCAP:XRP , Ripple aims to increase the liquidity and utility of CRYPTOCAP:XRP , potentially attracting more institutional investors wary of cryptocurrency volatility. The stablecoin's launch is expected to integrate more seamlessly into Ripple's existing payment solutions, enhancing both the XRP Ledger's utility and Ripple's service offerings.
Regulatory Approval: RLUSD has received approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), adding a layer of regulatory compliance that could further legitimize Ripple's operations and XRP's use in broader financial systems. This approval is pivotal for Ripple's expansion in the regulated US market, a move that could set a precedent for other stablecoins.
Technical Analysis
Price Movement: Following the announcement and launch of RLUSD, CRYPTOCAP:XRP has seen a significant uptick, with its price jumping to $2.66, marking a 12.61% increase in the last 24 hours. This surge has pushed XRP past critical resistance levels, breaking a wedge pattern and setting sights on $2.65 and $2.91 as the next possible resistances. The high trading volume accompanying this price rise, up by over 100%, reflects strong market interest and confidence in XRP's direction.
Overbought Conditions: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for$ XRP currently stands at 82, indicating an overbought market which suggests caution for short-term traders. However, for long-term holders, this surge from $0.69 to $2.698 in just two months underscores a robust bull market trend, potentially fuelled further by the RLUSD launch.
The technical outlook, with the RLUSD news acting as a catalyst, suggests a trajectory towards $5 before Christmas, fueled by both the intrinsic value of the XRP Ledger and the new stablecoin's impact.
Conclusion
Ripple's strategic introduction of RLUSD is not just a step towards diversifying its offerings but a significant leap in enhancing the XRP ecosystem's robustness and utility. From a fundamental standpoint, RLUSD offers stability and regulatory compliance, which are pivotal for mainstream adoption in financial services.
Technically, the stablecoin's launch has propelled XRP's value, with market indicators suggesting continued growth. As Ripple continues to navigate the complexities of crypto-finance integration, RLUSD and XRP together are poised to redefine how digital assets can be leveraged for global payments, potentially setting new benchmarks in the crypto industry before the year's end.

➕ Topic of the Week: IPOs, ICOs, and STOs – What’s the Difference?
XRP BOOM!XRP REACHED 400% gains in the month of November before a pull back to the previous breakout zone. Ripple CEO appeared on 60 Minutes for a brief interview to introduce the world to the entire crypto industry as a whole. Although it was bias news, it was great news. On 12/10/24 Brad Garlinghouse announced that $RLUSD has been approved and will be listed on exchanges soon.
I look for XRP to reach towards $3+
The price target varies. If RLUSD approval quickly helps XRP rise, the mere adoption of the US backed stable coin and the possible overtaking of competitor Swift. XRP could reach milestone levels, above the $100-$500 range. After trump gets in office, gensler steps down, and regulations are made in the congressional seats. Ripple could grow to see ETH type numbers. This would be dependent on financial adoption and utilization around the world. Keep an eye on this. Good luck!
CRACKS ARE FORMING IN USDT DOMINANCE! THE END IS NEAR!USDT has completely dominated the stablecoin market for a long time now, but cracks are beginning to form in its foundation that could cause the whole structure to come crashing down. People are losing trust in USDT, even though the vast majority of trading platforms use it as the sole medium of exchange on their platforms. Competitors are turning up the heat in this market, and companies like Circle (USDC), which are fully audited, as well as newcomers like Ripple's RLUSD, could pose a serious challenge to USDT if it doesn't prove its reserves through regular audits and restore investor confidence.
I personally believe that USDT is a Ponzi scheme, similar to the Federal Reserve, which continuously counterfeits dollars by minting excess tokens, with nothing but faith backing them. I also believe that the time of USDT's dominance is coming to a swift end.
Once RLUSD is released and available for purchase to Wall Street and Main Street, I believe that the majority of stablecoin holders will switch from USDT to RLUSD, as Ripple is one of the most transparent and reputable companies within the crypto space. I am one of these people.
Good luck, and don't put all your eggs in one basket!
