The Hourly View for XRP
Last Updated January 12, 2021, 05:017 GMT
Currently, Ripple’s price is up $0 (0.2%) 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. As for the trend on the hourly timeframe, we see the clearest trend on the 100 hour timeframe. Price action traders may also wish to note that we see a pin bar candlestick pattern 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 choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.

Overheard on Twitter
For laughs, fights, or genuinely useful information, let’s see what the most popular tweets pertaining to Ripple for the past day were:
- From JoelKatz:
@VentureCoinist @MycolePawket @Ripple To say bitcoin will beat XRP, you have to think that all that matters is its lead. It’s slower. It’s more expensive. It lacks on-chain features like account security management. We don’t know if block generation will be stable as the block reward drops. …
- From Fame21Moore:
I watched XRP sit at .20 cents, .18 cents, 10 cents, 3 dollars… But when XRP kissed .90 and then dropped to .17 i have to admit that had an affect on me. Didn’t sell, but it did fuck with my head.
- From Kevin_Cage_:
I’d like to repeat my stance since the noobs keep DMing me & misconstrue everything I say.I will not sell ANY of my LT $XRP. I can’t risk it knowing that many exchanges have halted trading. It is locked in cold storage & will be untouched (just like it has been for years)
