Ripple (XRP) Primed For A Slingshot Effect In The Near Future

Ripple (XRP) is primed for a slingshot effect in the weeks to come. The above daily chart for XRP/USD shows that the last time the Bollinger Band Width dropped near the current level, it lead to a sling shot effect. This means that the price retraced a bit and then shot up in the opposite direction with enormous strength. If we compare the BBW profile between November and December of 2017 with that of November and December of 2018, we can see a strong similarity. The BBW indicator is following in the same path as it did back in 2017 between November and December before the ultimate bull run. The price is likely to continue to climb towards the third quarter of the month. After that, it is expected to retrace and then shoot back up. The expected timeline for this slingshot effect is between November 03, 2018 and December 01, 2018. This means that we should be able to see the beginning of a strong rally in Ripple (XRP) towards the beginning of 2019. This makes sense when you consider that most of the technical indicators at this point already favor such a rally. The price of Ripple (XRP) has been trying to defy the gravitational pull of Bitcoin (BTC) to follow its own trajectory. However, it had to retrace soon to revolve around Bitcoin (BTC) once again. Still, XRP/USD is in a far better position compared to most coins. It is well above its bottom and has not retraced as much as most analysts expected.
