Is XRP at 1.072 at the bottom or halfway up the hill? $XRP /USDT - SHORT Trading plan: Entry: 1.071 – 1.073 SL: 1.085 TP1: 1.062 TP2: 1.055 TP3: 1.045 Why focus on this structure? - The 1-day trend is clearly bearish, with 4-hour EMA suppression; rebounds lack strength. - The 15-minute RSI 61.78 is close to overbought, and with ATR 0.0056 indicating low volatility, a sudden drop is likely. - Currently 1.072 is an excellent entry point for a short; TP1 at 1.062 offers only 1% upside space, but the probability is extremely high. Discussion: Will this move hit TP2 at 1.055 first, or will it be a bull trap rally up to 1.085 and then hit the SL?

The hardest part when watching the chart is this: you clearly know the direction might be right, but the price just won’t give you feedback immediately. $XRP has been grinding around 1.0475 for quite a while. I wasn’t exactly calm either—I kept wanting to take profit. Luckily, the direction didn’t get changed. When it finally broke out and moved toward 1.0696, my P&L on paper came to +195.37%. Only then did this trade manage to give back a bit of what the earlier patience cost. After staying in crypto for long enough, you learn this: profitable trades aren’t necessarily the ones that feel comfortable. In many cases, those few in-between candles are what really torture you—specifically designed to grind. The moment you get anxious, it’s easier for it to shake you out. When I handle trades like this now, my thinking is simple: first, take back control. You don’t have to swallow every bite. Being able to follow your own pace and keep the profit is more real than shouting how “perfect” it is. $BTC $ETH
