Top Crypto Analyst Outlook on XRP
Recently, a crypto strategist shared his stance on XRP, and warned Ethereum holders as ETH could witness another massive sell-off. The pseudonymous analyst DonAlt said XRP can potentially rally if it manages to take out key resistance levels.
It noted the fact that, “So basically at $0.38 to $0.40, that’s all weekly resistance. If we close below that, I’d probably just sell my XRP… If we close above it, that would also be a range breakout, not as a nice one as Litecoin, but the cool thing here is that it has already broken this range once. So if you break it again, especially given the first break was so significant, you’d expect it to just outperform massively.”
