XRP is currently trading around $1.40<\/strong>, and the debate over its true potential has never been more polarized. On one side, chartists are scrutinizing support and resistance levels with a magnifying glass. On the other, financial analyst Luke Suther has published a thesis on X that completely disrupts the usual framework: technical analysis is not only insufficient for evaluating XRP<\/a>, but it is also actively misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suther’s argument is structural. XRP was not designed as a passive store of value like Bitcoin. Its architecture is that of a settlement infrastructure<\/strong>, built to move capital between financial institutions at the speed of the internet, frictionlessly and at a marginal cost. Evaluating this asset solely using Fibonacci retracements or Bollinger Bands is like measuring the performance of a fiber-optic network with a stopwatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
