The most devastating scenario for $XRP - mirroring $BTC โs price action from 2018 to today. The similarities so far are evident and concerning. In this case, we revisit sub-$1 in summer 2026, no new ATH until early 2028, and a peak around ~$6 in 2029.
$XRP Weโre at a critical moment - whatโs next?
1๏ธโฃ Yellow arrow (up): ๐ price follows classic Wyckoff re-accumulation pattern
2๏ธโฃ Red arrow (down): ๐ป loss of the 21-day EMA, continuing the fractal in play since early 2025 (see Hedera chart as an example)
This is what a confident breakout to ATHs looks like on $IWM.
Many people are wondering, why crypto is not following / catching up immediately?!
Historically, it takes ca. 100 days on average for $alts to catch up, which again brings us to Q1'26๐ฎ
What you need now is patience.
Historical $BTC bull run patterns - they often peak after sentiment hits the high-80s or 90s. October 2025โs index of ~71 is notably lower than prior peaks:
@CredibleCrypto agreed, we only get a 43% move above the 21EMA this time? Thatโd be way too disappointing and totally out of line with previous cycles
$BTC usually hugs the 21EMA during bull runs. At the final phase, it detaches until the parabolaโs peak.
Past cycle separations:
2014: 190%
2017: 225%
2021: 85%
If the top is in, this cycleโs 43% would be the weakest & most disappointing in $BTC โs history
