XRP/USD trading strategy

Following the completion of the major corrective wave (II) around $1.88, XRP started a strong upward wave trend. The internal structure of wave III is forming as expected under the Elliott Wave principle. Wave (1) of wave ③ concluded near $2.80, and the current wave (2) is consolidating within the 50%–61.8% Fibonacci retracement range between $2.36 and $2.29. Price action is beginning to rebound from the Base Channel zone and has remained within the defined wave structure.

    A confirmed break above $2.65 indicates the beginning of wave (3) within wave ③. This could result in a fast upward move.

  • Risk control
    If the price dips below $2.07 (W.C. Invalid level), the current wave count will require re-evaluation.

After ending wave (II) at the $1.88 mark, XRP transitioned into a strong bullish movement. Within this rally, wave (1) of wave III ended near $2.80. The present wave (2) has retraced to the common Fibonacci range between $2.36 and $2.29. Price activity suggests recovery from the Base Channel without violating the wave structure.
