Ripple (XRP) is primed for a slingshot effect in the coming weeks. The daily chart above for XRP / USD shows that the last time the Bollinger bandwidth dropped near the current level, it led to a sling shot effect. This means that the price has returned a bit backwards and then rose in the opposite direction with enormous force. If we compare the BBW profile between November and December 2017 with that of November and December 2018, we can see a strong resemblance. The BBW indicator follows the same path it had in 2017 between November and December before the last bullfight. The price is likely to continue to rise towards the third quarter of the month. Then, it is expected to be reflected and then resumed.
The timeline for this slingshot effect is between November 3, 2018 and December 1, 2018. This means we should be able to see the start of a strong rally in Ripple (XRP) towards the beginning 2019. This makes sense when considering that most of the technical indicators at this point already favor such a rally. The price of Ripple (XRP) has tried to challenge the gravitational force of Bitcoin (BTC) to follow its own trajectory. However, he had to retrace soon to turn around Bitcoin (BTC) once again. However, XRP / USD is in a much better position than most coins. It is well above its fund and has not gone as far as most analysts expected.
