A technical analyst has drawn parallels between the current dynamics of XRP and the market trends observed in 2017, hinting at a prospective opportunity for a staggering 650x return.
In a recent update, technical analyst “JD” cautioned XRP investors to be mindful of their emotions and avoid panic-selling amid the current market conditions.
JD recalled the market events in 2017, where he observed some investors, whom he labeled “Dumb Money,” hastily parting ways with the market during a significant 60% crash.
According to JD, these impulsive investors risked missing out on a 65,000% gain simply due to a 60% crash. The technical analyst contends that the same emotions exhibited by “Dumb Money” in 2017 are now unfolding within the XRP market.
XRP Capitulation Right Before Breakout
JD referenced an XRP market chart illustrating a four-year capitulation period. This period was followed by a substantial breakout characterized by a parabolic surge, ultimately reaching an all-time high in 2018.
During the four-year trendline, XRP traded as low as $0.005589, specifically in February 2017. However, eleven months later, the asset had surged by at least 650 times to claim an all-time high in the $3 range.
JD has identified a comparably prolonged capitulation period for XRP, highlighting a similar potential for a 650x gain. He observed that following the peak in 2018, XRP entered a 5.5-year trendline that is now due for a breakout.
Notably, XRP currently exchanges hands at $0.5066. Should a 650x materialize as the analyst projected, the asset would trade at $330. Whether XRP would attain such a lofty price target remains to be seen.
In light of the forecasted gains anticipated in the coming days, the analyst strongly advised XRP holders to resist succumbing to emotional impulses and abstain from panic-selling.
Moreover, according to his guidance, the opportune moment to divest is when an asset becomes overbought. He advocated for the rational action of taking profits without emotional interference.
Notably, JD is not the sole technical analyst who has predicted an imminent bullish breakout of XRP. Several market analysts have also pointed to the same projection, drawing from historical performance as evidence to support their forecasts.
Meanwhile, some other experts have contested the relevance of historical charts in predicting XRP’s future value. They argue that a historical chart devoid of a utility chart is futile in forecasting XRP’s future value.
