The ascending channel in which XRP/USD has traded since before 2017 is still intact and the price is currently sitting at the bottom of it. If Ripple (XRP) were to begin another cycle at this stage, it would be expected to surpass its previous all time high of $3.31 by the end of the year.

Ripple (XRP) is the only major cryptocurrency to have had such an extensive correction. However, it would be unfair to not mention that it is also the only large cap cryptocurrency to have had an ROI of a whopping 3800% for the last two years! Rippleâs XRP token still has room for more gains if the company seriously comes up with a plan to get remittance companies to not just experiment but actually use the XRP tokens on a large scale. Previously, Western Unionâs CEO criticized Ripple (XRP) for its inability to make any difference to their transaction costs. Later on, it was found that Western Union was only experimenting with XRP on a small scale. Ripple, the company came up to their defense and mentioned that you cannot ascertain the cost efficiency of XRP with such small amounts.
Ripple (XRP) has a working product; the only problem now is adoption. As for investors, Ripple (XRP) remains range bound on the smaller 4H time frame shown by the above chart.
