"XRP WILL SHAKE YOU OUT THIS WEEK" Popular Analyst Warns -Report

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]Hello, this is Matt on the Moon Lambo channel. I am well aware that there is no chart analyst on the entire planet who can consistently uh predict what a timeline will be for a particular chart formation to play out. That said, I will tell you there are increasingly XRP chart analysts with pretty darn good track records uh who are saying this thing looks like something's about to happen. I I'm increasingly seeing that and I've been reporting that for the last couple weeks. have been getting more and more uh been seeing more and more posts online uh and in media articles uh indicating such. We're getting closer and although nobody can consistently predict exactly when something's going to break out, I do find it perfectly reasonable to speculate that there could be a breakout very soon rather than later, maybe even within a rough time frame. Uh just based on historic precedent, you can say, well, okay, I know that this is what it looked like in the past. Therefore, if your thought is, uh, you know, history kind of rhymes with itself, it might kind of look like this. I think something like that can make that's perfectly that can make sense. But if they're right, we're finally going to see something. Now, it depends on who you trust, though, because some think that when this thing breaks, the move will be to the upside. But there are some that think uh the next big move is actually going to be a final flush to the downside and then the real breakout will begin. In fact, one popular chart analyst is arguing just that. But uh before going further, I do want to be clear. I do not have a financial background of any kind. I am not offering financial advice. And you definitely should not buy or sell anything because of anything I say or write. I'm just an enthusiast who enjoys making YouTube videos about crypto-related topics, but just as a hobby and just for fun. As I record this video, it is 11:51 p.m. Central time.

[00:01:40]That's my time zone. It is Wednesday, May 20th, 2026.

[00:01:45]Uh we have a green day, actually, but nothing insane, but up a little bit.

[00:01:49]I'll take it. Uh XRP at $1 138. Uh Bitcoin just a hair shy of $78,000.

[00:01:57]So it is up a fair bit off the recent lows. Uh however low it got closer to I think it was closer to $76,000 over the last couple days. So going back up a bit. We were kind of expecting many analysts were expecting anyway that we'd be ranging around there 75 to $79,000 for Bitcoin for much of this week. Um, Tradfy though, I also want to mention this briefly because we are clearly, if you look at the PMI data, we're in economic expansion and risk on assets, stocks are behaving just like it is indeed the case that we're in a risk environment here. Uh, like we are in economic expansion. Uh, you can see the S&P 500 was up 1.08% uh, closing at 7,432 index points. But more importantly, the riskier stocks, the the small caps in the Russell 2000 index up 2.56% in a single day, which I know is nothing in the world of crypto. That's gigantic in trad. That's huge if you're talking about equities as we are here. I mean, the think about this. So, yeah, S&P 500 up, Russell 2000 up on the same day. But the small cap stocks, the riskier stocks continue to outpace the safer large cap stocks from the S&P 500. And it's been like that going back the last, I don't know, five months or so in particular.

[00:03:09]That's because we're in a regime shift here. We're in an instance where we shift from risk off to risk on. And you got we're at a moment where liquidity is through the roof and continuing to expand. It just makes sense that this would happen. And you can see that money will be rotating out of gold zone and so forth. all sorts of things lining up along these lines. So, you'll love to see it. And the reason I highlight this is because that's the environment in which uh in which XRP historically has thrived. That's when altcoins thrive and you do ultimately get uh an alt season because there has never been an instance where the Russell 2000 has broken out, which clearly it has since late December. Um there's never been an instance where that's happened and we don't get an alt season. So, do you think this time is different? Because I personally do not. Uh here's a post today from chart analyst uh Crypto Michael who accurately called XRP breaking out in 2024 and accurately called the bottom of the market in January 2023 uh for for Bitcoin specifically. And uh he said the following. XRP will shake you out this week. Then the breakout will begin. This is by design. They want the masses out. Okay. I don't know who he's saying they are, but I will I will say there's some truth directionally to statements like that. Um, I don't think that I don't actually think there's some shadowy figure out there or or some whale out there that literally wants you to suffer. I just think they're indifferent and they're happy to purchase your fear. If you're going to have an emotional response uh because price market's going down, you're going to panic sell. They will happily purchase at a discounted price. They want to do that. Uh, but are they sinister and they want all of you to suffer? So, I no, I don't think they care. I just responding to the market.

[00:04:48]So, I I feel a little bit differently about that. uh as far as you're getting shaken out this week. Look at the trend lines that he's drawn. So, uh usually get a break before you get to the apex.

[00:04:57]So, what's going to happen here? Are we literally going to break? Well, he thinks that since we've fallen below this white trend line that he drew right here, uh just dating back to looks like the end of March or beginning part of April. since we've fallen below there.

[00:05:09]And this is and by the way, these are oneweek candles. He seems to be indicating that we're likely to move down to this lower this lower trend line here, this yellow one before finally breaking out to the upside before you would reach the apex. That seems to be what he's indicating here. So, I understand why he's saying uh yeah, something's about to happen. And he also shared this separate post also this afternoon. And he really does think something's going to be happening sooner than later. Take a look at this. Um, this again from this afternoon, he said Zcash was the easiest trade of the year.

[00:05:40]Textbook bull flag breakout. XRP will have a similar breakout in a few weeks.

[00:05:47]Don't get shaken out this week on the final dip before the rally begins. And so, I can see why he's he's arguing what he's arguing, especially if you look at that other chart, the first one here.

[00:05:56]Um, you're getting closer to the apex.

[00:05:59]Something something's going to happen here. uh then this is the Zcash chart, but he thinks that XRP is going to do effectively the same thing. That that's his expectation here. Perfectly reasonable. We'll see if he's right. Uh that's perfectly reasonable uh chart perspective, though. Uh then there was this from chart analyst Dark Defender.

[00:06:15]He also thinks something's going to happen sooner rather than later. And he says XRP update on the twoe time frame.

[00:06:21]So each one of these candles is two weeks. He says the primary Elliot wave structure is intact.

[00:06:27]resistance and support apex has no more room and is expected to deliver a strong surge through the end of May. So another analyst is like guys there's really just not any more room left. That's that's fairly I know that he's looking at a different time frame. This is a two week twoe candle and and crypto Michael is looking at the one week but regardless it's they're both noticing with the trend lines that they have drawn which they believe are the most accurate trend lines. We're getting to the end of this thing something's got to happen. That's the key thing. And so he said supports are at a buck 31 to a buck 36. Uh resistance is at $147, a buck 88, and $356.

[00:07:05]And so he says, and then he says XRP will break that orange resistance. So to the upside, he believes we're going. So we'll see here, folks. And and he does believe that we're going to be peing this market cycle in double digit price territory. So above $10. Uh he's made it clear he thinks actually the peak might be closer to $18. Uh then there was this post from chart analyst Austin. Uh this is an XRP BTC chart and he wrote prediction XRP will break out in mid July and head towards its macro range highs against Bitcoin. So he thinks we're going to be seeing action also.

[00:07:37]Now again those other charts up to this point were against the dollar. This is against Bitcoin. But still with what he's seeing here, he it's the same type of art. You can see what they're doing here. We're getting close to the Apex.

[00:07:46]You're running out of room. So if they drew the right trend lines uh and that's that's you know chart Ice can always argue among themselves. Did you pick the right spot? Okay, I'll let them fight over that. I'm just telling you it's another analyst who's saying we're getting to the end of this thing and we're going to go. And think about this, too. So, this this chart is going back to 2014. This is basically the entire chart history for XRP since since creation. We have not had an all-time high for XRP against Bitcoin since the first half of 2017.

[00:08:16]So, think about that. the fact that XRP broke out in late 2024 against the dollar and we ultimately did hit new all-time highs. Uh, fantastic to see.

[00:08:25]That's without XRP getting even close to the all-time high against Bitcoin.

[00:08:30]Imagine if this right here, if for those you looking at the screen, imagine this this uh rockets up here closer to where we were in 2017. What will that mean for XRP priced against the dollar? Well, of course, it depends, you know, what Bitcoin's worth, but Bitcoin's worth so much more than it was back then. If we get anywhere even close to this, that's why I keep saying it's not crazy for these analysts to think that we're getting into double digit price action territory for for XRP.

[00:08:56]It that's perfectly reasonable speculation. I don't make price predictions myself, and I admit I don't know where the price of XRP is going, but I know if something sounds crazy, I know if there's no historic precedent for a wacky claim like thousands of dollars per XRP. This is not unreasonable at all, though.

[00:09:13]Here's a post from chart analyst Kal.

[00:09:15]This is also from today, just this morning, 10:29 a.m. XRPUSD chart here.

[00:09:19]And he says, "The charts are screaming breakout. $17 is not just a target. It's a destination for this cycle. XRP is coming for Ethereum's throne. Thrown down the gauntlet here." Well, I've long said I don't think it's I don't think it's unreasonable at all uh to have serious discussions about XRP going back and getting that number two spot for Ethereum, even if it were just shortlived at a minimum doing that during the final parabolic push at a minimum because there's historic precedent for that. XRP has been number two in market cap before and obviously we haven't seen that for the better part of a decade because well let's be real the SEC sued artificially suppressed XRP for years and the price of XRP still has not fully healed. I personally believe if not for that lawsuit, the price of XRP would be way higher today than it is right now. I don't know what that means, but XRP is the only top 10 coin by market cap that did not hit a new all-time high last cycle, 2021. It was also the only top 10 coin that was getting attacked by the United States government. So, h I don't think that's a coincidence. So, it's still playing catch-up and I think it'll get there. I mean, it just give extra it gave people who believe in XRP that much more time to accumulate. So, silver lining for some, I suppose. But um $17, I don't know if we're going to hit it, but that is not unreasonable and and XRP coming for that that number two spot. And consider this too. Even if Ethereum only does a 2x compared to its all-time high from the last cycle of 2021, if it just does a 2x, you're looking at close to $10,000 Ethereum. And if XRP just matches that market cap, you get $20 XRP. This is why I keep saying like none of this is crazy. And when when you get to the point where you're truly at the end of a a euphoric cycle like that's when the crazy money comes in and the prices just get bit up so quickly. It doesn't take that much money coming in to get to just ridiculous valuations and they're going to be just way too inflated and they're not going to be sustainable whatever the peak is. So that'll be for me. Um I'll be looking at those types of movements as an opportunity to finally take some profit after all these years. But um then when it falls back down, you're going to find you're on a new plateau.

[00:11:30]It'll bottom wherever it bottoms, but it's here to stay. So ideally, I will have sold all of my XRP. I hope that I'm enticed to do that. And then um when the price inevitably falls during the ensuing bare market, I'm just going to buy back in and ride this roller coaster again. That that's my general plan anyway. Because the fundamentals are so strong for XRP, why would I not want exposure after I've taken the massive profit and when it's on sale again?

[00:11:54]Well, of course I would. Of course, I'd want to do that again. Uh, here's a post from the great Matsby. He says, "The setup is definitely there, but it's still stuck under major resistance."

[00:12:04]Talk about XRP here. He says, "Once the weekly and monthly candles start closing above $151, I think it'll be ready for a big breakout." So, uh, analysts here recognizing very obvious truth. We are rangebound. We are rangebound. Uh, we've been having trouble getting to the upside. In fact, chart analyst Dom, uh, kind of highlighted something similar here. This is a post just from this morning. XRP update. Uh, hope was lost, revived, and now lost again. Multiple attempts to turn $145 into support have failed. Uh, that was the key marker we've been watching for over two weeks.

[00:12:40]At this point, we're back in the same place we've been since early February.

[00:12:46]Nothing is structurally different. It's all just patience at this point, waiting for a range breakout. So everything that's happened for all these months, none of it none of it's actually matter.

[00:12:57]That's that's the nature of a range. And anytime I think about a boring range, which this most certainly is, I I think about late 2020 all the time, like summer going into maybe early fall or like maybe several months where XRP was hanging around about 20 cents, 20 to maybe 30 cents on the high end, but mostly summer in between. Just months and months and months, it just wouldn't freaking move. And then eventually one day it started running and it ran inside of like I'm pulling from memory but I think it was like about a week week and a half ran from about 20some cents all the way up to over 80 cents. And tons of analysts that I follow all started saying guys look what we're seeing in the charts here. It looks like it's about to go. They all noticed that in unison. And it's not like they were all copying each. They don't even all know each other necessarily. Some of them I'm sure do. But but I was like guys I don't normally see all of these analysts I follow normally believe the same thing at the same moment in time. this is super rare. Maybe that means something.

[00:13:49]And it did. Oh, it sure as hell did. So, any ever since any time when I've noticed tons of analysts believing the same thing, coming independently to the same or similar conclusions at the same time, I'm just like maybe they're maybe they're right. And history tells me with the group of analysts I follow that actually they usually are pretty correct when that happens. So, I'm watching for it. But that's also why I say here, um, I'm not saying it's most analysts, but there are a lot of analysts I follow who do believe something's going to happen for XRP much sooner rather than later.

[00:14:16]And it's plausible. We've been in this range forever. You're not going to stay in a range forever. Eventually, things do get exciting exciting again. Uh, and of course, that's going to come. No question in my mind. Here's a post from more crypto online. XRP has reached the $1.34 support level, but there is no sign that the pullback is complete. Uh XRP remains in a sideways range. $1.30 is the next relevant support level below. Yeah. So if we fall below uh but just more acknowledgement, we're in a range. We're not going to stay here forever though. Then we had this from Chart Nerd. He says, "If history is to repeat, XRP will only break towards $8 plus when it creates another range of contact between the upper and middle regression bands of the Gausian channel.

[00:14:57]That's between 70 cents and $1." uh he says regardless of narratives then or now history has proven this factual from a technical perspective. And so he's one of just a few analysts I follow who does think it's most probable that you are going to see XRP below a dollar before it rockets to the upside. He does not believe that if that happens which he's not guaranteeing but if he does not believe if it happens that somehow higher time frame chart structure is now destroyed. He doesn't believe that the opportunity is still there. He's saying it would be historically normal in fact and healthy in fact for that to happen.

[00:15:31]So maybe he's right, maybe he's not. Um I'm not a ch guy, so I'm not going to make prediction one way or another. I just want to share diverse perspectives on this channel. Um it's it's certainly plausible, but I will also say that usually when there's a minority opinion like this, and this one is there's a few analysts that believe this. Uh usually the minority opinions don't quite pan out, but you never know. Sometimes they do, sometimes they do. So it's it's something to watch for. And if he's right, all the credit in the world. So we're going to find out together. But uh just if that happens, it is not time to be fearful. I will also add personally my opinion that if that happens, it means the whole market's on fire. Like let's be real, something happened.

[00:16:06]Bitcoin in the gutter again. Who knows what's happened and then and then under that sort of sure, but I don't I don't believe personally that XRP is likely to go that low on its own. I would be very surprised if the market's just like humming along then XRP is like I want to go down here now. I doubt it. I'm skeptical. We'll see about that. That's not usually what happens here. If the market's on fire, the market's on fire.

[00:16:29]And that that's pretty much that. So, we'll see here. But again, key takeaway here. Don't be surprised if something happens sooner rather than later. And let's just, you know, fingers crossed, knock on wood, it'll be to the upside.

[00:16:42]I'm not a financial adviser. You should not buy or sell anything because if anything I say are right, that would be a very, very, very bad idea. Until next time, to the moon Lambo.
