Crypto analysts have XRP under the lens, as the altcoin has been consolidating for over 500 days. Well-known figure Edward Farina recently predicted that the coin will be on a “perpetual cycle.”
Farina had this to say during the Istanbul Blockchain Week, with many believing XRP will enter into its biggest bull cycle despite the currently unstable market conditions. He has called on investors to enjoy the current situation while prices are low.
Another crypto analyst, Egrag, shares his technical examination of XRP’s price movement in support of Farina’s optimism: The token’s recent resurgence within a key support and resistance levels, particularly $0.3931, signifies a very robust support zone.
This particular movement of XRP has consolidated for over one and half years, which he thinks could be considered the accumulation that must be formed prior to a massive breakout. Egrag’s chart reveals that the bullish targets could be located at $0.739, $0.924, and may even be as high as $1.469.
540 Days Ranging Since March 13th, 2024! 🔥
If you’re getting shaken by these tiny moves, you don’t deserve the MASSIVE MEGA PUMPS that are coming! STAY STEADY

‘Mega Pump’ On The Horizon?
From Egrag’s analysis, holders of XRP are about to get what he terms a “Mega Pump.” While he maintains that those who held onto their tokens during this quiet phase may be rewarded in big proportions, he put forth a contrary belief that individuals who sold their XRP don’t deserve the massive mega pumps ahead.
While XRP remains in this range, other cryptocurrencies climb. Bitcoin peaked in June 2024; Binance Coin peaked this year in April 2024. Even meme currencies like Shiba Inu and FLOKI soared, although given the volatility of the crypto market these were not sustained for long.
Despite the laggard performance, however, some long-term investors of XRP are pretty confident that the long accumulation phase will be followed by a breakout.

‘Perpetual Cycle’ Incoming?
Farina’s strategy is dollar-cost averaging: a practice wherein investors gradually buy an asset, particularly when it’s down from the peak. He said it was an excellent candidate for long-term accumulation since XRP remains 80% below its $3.84 record price back in 2018.
won’t experience a bull run, it will be a perpetual cycle. In a few years, we’ll look back at today’s prices, it will feel absolutely unbelievable.

Further, he noted that this may put investors in a position to reap extraordinary gains once the market eventually reverses upward.
Farina is not in a vacuum with his optimism. Other analysts have mirrored his view, saying XRP could go up as much as $50, or even up to $100, in the not-so-distant future.
XRP is still affordable, trading around $0.527 at the time of writing. CoinMarketCap observers are bullish, with 73% predicting a token recovery soon.
As varied as the market outlook was, many investors have followed Farina’s advice to accumulate XRP while prices remain low, hoping the token surges in the long run.
Whether or not the “mega pump” occurs, the extended consolidation phase for XRP could be a preparatory move for something big.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
