Hughes’ map of the XRP/ETH pair reads like a Western showdown. The 2-week chart tells a tale of two rivals: XRP, the scrappy underdog, and ETH, the slick city boy with a gold tooth. The Ichimoku cloud, that smoky fog of uncertainty, has been ETH’s shield for years. But now, XRP’s hooves dig into the dirt, pressing against the cloud’s top like a miner clawing at a vein of gold. At 0.00062, the latest candle flickers like a campfire in a thunderstorm-bright, but fragile. If XRP holds this line, the cloud becomes a floor, not a ceiling. If not, it’s back to the saloon for another whiskey and a bad decision.
