Legendary Trader Peter Brandt Spots Important Bullish XRP Pattern

Savvy chartist Peter L. Brandt who has been in trading since 1975, has published a tweet to share that he had spotted a bullish pattern “Half Mast Flag” on an XRP/USD chart.

Brandt reveals bullish XRP pattern

Peter Brandt tweeted that the XRP/USD pair seems currently to be forming a Half Mast Flag. If this is true and this pattern completes, he says, then “distance to upside should equal advance into tip of flag” as in regularly happens when this pattern plays out. “Half Mast Flag” implies that an asset’s price first drops significantly before going up, but not necessarily so.

Many commentators agreed with Brandt about XRP being on the verge of a breakout if it completes this pattern. Some assumed that the price may go way beyond $3 per XRP.

Meanwhile, a crypto analyst Ali Martinez has also published a tweet, saying that XRP has been consolidating within a “Bull Flag” pattern. He believes that as soon as the fourth largest cryptocurrency XRP breaks above the $2.60 resistance, it may head off towards the $4 level.

69 million XRP deposit goes to Binance

Details revealed by the Bithomp analytics platform focused on XRP says that the anonymous wallet was linked to Binance.

Besides, before that transaction, Whale Alert had spotted two massive transfers of 800,000,000 XRP and 120,000,000 XRP leaving Binance. Those XRP lumps constituted the equivalent of $1.92 billion in fiat. Still, the withdrawals were also sent to wallets related to Binance, according to the same XRP-focused source.
