XRP BITCOIN 🚨 URGENT 200 DAY CROSS JUST FORMED ‼️ Don't Say I Didn't Tell You
Overall Thesis
Despite a recent 200-day death cross in Bitcoin and XRP, the creator argues this does not signal the end of the crypto bull market, expecting winter to end by October-November based on historical precedent and election timing.
Narratives
BTCBitcoinStock Moe examined five prior death-cross events to argue the current weekly death cross is a weak bearish signal (40% historical hit rate for marking bottoms) compared to the 200-day reclaim pattern, which has a 3-for-3 record of marking major cycle lows. He believes crypto winter is likely thawing rather than definitively over, expecting a bottom before year-end.
Key Arguments
- Weekly death cross has only a 40% historical hit rate for marking bottoms across 5 prior instances
- 200-day moving average reclaim after a long stretch below has a 3-for-3 record of marking major cycle lows
- This drawdown (~38% from highs) has been shallower than 2018 (84%) and 2022 (78%) cycles, suggesting a maturing/weaker bear
- SEC and CFTC are becoming more crypto-friendly which should help price action
Risks acknowledged
- The death cross has failed as a bottom signal 60% of the time historically, with big declines following in 3 of 5 cases
- Volumes are weak, matching September 2023 levels
- Timing of the actual bottom is disputed among analysts
XRPXRPStock Moe notes XRP has erased its own death cross by closing back above its 50-day and 200-day EMAs, a divergence from Bitcoin's behavior that he views as a potentially bullish sign, though the 50-day EMA has not yet crossed back above the 200-day. He is cautiously optimistic that this breakout could be different from three prior failed attempts.
Key Arguments
- XRP closed above its 50-day and 200-day EMA for the first time since its own death cross, unlike Bitcoin which just formed a death cross
- XRP gained over 30% in August, outpacing Bitcoin's 20%+ gain
- XRP bottomed near 99 cents (about 70% off highs) and has since recovered to around $1.37
Risks acknowledged
- XRP has attempted this kind of breakout three times before (Sept 2021, March 2024, Jan 2025) and failed all three times, with breakouts lasting only 4-11 days on average
- The 50-day EMA is still below the 200-day EMA, so it is not yet a full golden cross
