The first time this type of cross between two moving averages occurred was in 2017. However, XRP price continued to consolidate over a 49-week bar before beginning a rapid and aggressive price surge to reach its current all-time high of $3.84. EGRAG called this “Cycle A” and likened the price movement to a “rocket ship pump.”
The second time this type of cross occurred was in 2021. In this cycle, which he called “Cycle B,” XRP had a smaller price consolidation for 32 bars, followed by a slower price spike than in Cycle B. EGRAG said the current cycle, which he called “Cycle C,” is more reflective of Cycle A than Cycle B, as there are no obvious similarities between the 20 SMA and 50 SMA patterns.
In a continued ultra-bullish spirit, EGRAG predicted that the current cycle could break out 10x bigger than what was seen in Cycle A, in which case the target would be $27.
