XRP Just Got Spooky: The “Death Cross” That Could Catapult Prices 325% (No, Really)

by

If you ever needed an excuse to check your crypto portfolio while pretending you’re reading important work email, XRP’s been kind enough to provide one. It’s the plucky underdog, the Susan Boyle of tokens—this week, after flirting with disaster at $2.08, it staged a rebound to $2.4 so suddenly you’d think it found out its in-laws were coming over unannounced. 📈

The excitement doesn’t end there. Chart nerds—let’s call them “technical analysts” to preserve their self-esteem—have whipped out their magnifying glasses and started rumor-mongering about an old 2017 pattern that’s showing its face. Apparently, this means XRP could moon all the way to $9, assuming you believe in Fibonacci extensions, chart symmetry, and also unicorns. 🦄

The Death Cross: Scary Name, Surprising Party Trick

A “death cross” just strutted onto the daily chart like someone in a horror movie who keeps hearing strange noises but decides to “check the basement.” This happens when the 50-day average dips under the 200-day average. Most times, everyone panics, theorizes about financial armageddon, and tweets in all caps. But in XRP’s case, some TradingView detective insists this is actually bullish, which feels a bit like getting excited when your smoke alarm starts beeping. 🔥

Back in 2017, XRP pulled this same trick: death cross, false alarm, then KA-BOOM—prices soared more than 1,350%. Picture investing twenty bucks and waking up able to afford avocado toast for all your friends.

Now, XRP is forming the same descending triangle setup it did seven years ago, just hanging out like a cat waiting for someone to open the treat cupboard. The last time this happened, the supposedly bearish signal turned into the financial equivalent of finding a $100 bill in your winter coat.

If history repeats itself—and when has that ever failed in the world of investing?—XRP could sprint to new highs at the 1.5 Fibonacci extension. The “analyst” (internet-speak for “person with an opinion and a mouse”) thinks we could see $9.00 soon, which is a 325% jump from here. Go ahead, tell your accountant you’re planning to retire on digital assets. See what happens.

Technical Indicators: Suspiciously Chill

So, what do the charts say now? Apparently, XRP’s RSI sits at an extremely noncommittal 54.799. Not too hot, not too cold—basically the token equivalent of “I could go for pizza, but I’m not starving.” Meanwhile, the movers-and-shakers MACD and ADX have decided to stay in moderate territory, as if they don’t want to tip anyone off that something might actually happen.

XRP clocks in at $2.38 as I write this. If you want to see that 325% rally, maybe light a candle, cross your fingers, and hope the big-money institutions are feeling in a particularly experimental mood. If not, at least you’ll have this story for the next family dinner when someone asks you what’s up with “those Bitcoin thingies.”
