Ripple’s cryptocurrency XRP is trading at its lowest 2018 support level. Should it break below this point, it will indeed reach true HODLer territory; that is, a 50% plunge to its 2017, near-starting range of $0.24.
Consider this a very wild ride, from $0.20 levels in December of 2017, to a peak of $3.34 in January 2018—a 1,291% increase—now back to $0.45.
Rakesh Upadhyay of Cointelegraph recommends “recommend waiting for a close above $0.56270 before initiating any long positions. The upside target is $0.70.”
Our take? If you look at Upadhyay’s recommendation in light of the “big picture,” that is, the entire scale of the price movement over the last few months and the lack of any “real” fundamental outlook, it’s clear that he’s recommending a swing trade.
But if you were a swing trader, as opposed to say, a long-term investor or Hodler, why would you trade XRP other than for the fact that its incredibly cheap? Aren’t there other assets to swing trade; assets that may be more liquid and that have much clearer fundamental criteria?
Something to think about.
The risk of loss in the trading of stocks, options, futures, foreign exchanges, foreign equities, and bonds can be substantial and is not suitable for all investors. Trading on margin or the use of leverage is not suitable for all investors and losses exceeding your initial deposit is possible. Supporting documentation is available upon request. Trading futures, options on futures, and foreign exchanges involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources and only risk capital should be used. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time. The lower the margin used the higher the leverage and therefore increases your risk. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
