Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

XRP Price Forms Flag Pattern Above Accumulation Zone That Points To $5 Target Crypto analyst Babenski believes the XRP price is on the verge of a breakout, forming a bullish flag pattern above a previous accumulation zone could spark a move to a new all-time high. The analyst's chart suggests the altcoin could rally to as high as $5 on this breakout. Crypto analyst Dark Defender also sees the XRP price rallying above $5 on Wave 5 of the impulsive move to the upside, with the altcoin having been descending since January 17 this year. Dark Defender notes that there is an intersection now, where XRP will decide within two weeks. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto also highlights that XRP is at a crossroads and could make a major move soon, with a 70-80% chance of an upside breakout and 20-30% chance of a downside move. The analyst believes the breakout will be triggered by fundamental news, which is imminent. Crypto analyst CasiTrades declares that things are about to get exciting for the XRP price, with the entire consolidation structure reaching its final moments. CasiTrades maps out subwave 2 extensions from the recent local low, projecting upside targets in the $8 to $13 macro zone, which she has been highlighting for over a year. The analyst notes that this kind of alignment across structure, time, and Fibonacci extensions is rare, making everyone macro bullish on the XRP price.
