Traders are advised to fixate on the daily bar’s closure near $2.4665, a price point so tantalizing it could make a monk weep into his lentils. Should this level be breached, the accumulated energy might just propel XRP into the $2.60-$2.70 range-assuming the market isn’t too busy playing chess with its own shadow.
