He pointed to the fact that he was a big advocate for a level playing field instead of pitting one token against another. He also argued that maximalism was the real enemy of crypto progress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a response, Willy Woo, a popular crypto analyst, argued that the reserves should only be Bitcoin. He argued that BTC was geopolitically neutral and that many countries would find it difficult to buy XRP reserves. He said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dear CEO of XRP, living in the US, <\/span><b>tell me which countries would buy US-controlled XRP if the strategic reserve needed to be put to work<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. BTC is a geopolitically neutral asset like Gold. You\u2019re gaslighting people into thinking XRP is a strategic reserve asset.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other popular players in the crypto industry have argued against including other altcoins in these reserves. For example, Tyler Winklevoss, the CEO of Gemini argued that an asset needed to be \u201chard money\u201d that is a proven store of value like gold.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_242865\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-242865\" style=\"width: 1194px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-242865\" src=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tylor-Winklevoss.jpeg\" alt=\"Tylor Winklevoss X Post\" width=\"1194\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tylor-Winklevoss.jpeg 1194w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tylor-Winklevoss-300x137.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tylor-Winklevoss-768x350.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Tylor-Winklevoss-150x68.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1194px) 100vw, 1194px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-242865\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tylor Winklevoss X Post<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The inclusion of Ripple in strategic crypto reserves would be a bullish catalyst for XRP\u2019s price as it would lead to more purchases by the government and US-based corporations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notably, such a move would happen as the Securities and Exchange Commission considers whether to <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/expert-predicts-us-sec-to-approve-xrp-and-solana-etf-this-year\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">approve a spot XRP ETF<\/span><\/a><b>. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/jpmorgan-breaks-silence-on-solana-and-xrp-etf-possibilities\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JPMorgan, a XRP ETF would attract over $8 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in inflows in the first year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ripple (XRP) Technical Analysis: H&#038;S Pattern Points to a Crash<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The daily chart shows that Ripple (XRP) price has largely moved sideways in the past few months. This is a big difference from when it went parabolic in November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a risk that the coin will have a bearish breakdown in the next few days, as it has formed a head-and-shoulders pattern. The head is at the year-to-date high of $3.416, while the shoulders are at $2.73, which coincides with the 23.6% retracement level. The neckline is at $1.96.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, there is a risk that the XRP price will have a bearish breakdown in the coming days. This view will become valid when the coin drops below the neckline at $1.9615. Such a move will point to more downside, potentially to %1.1340, the 78.6% retracememt level.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_242864\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-242864\" style=\"width: 3550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-242864\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"XRP Price Chart\" width=\"3550\" height=\"1978\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3.png 3550w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-1224x682.png 1224w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-1536x856.png 1536w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-2048x1141.png 2048w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-150x84.png 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 3550px) 100vw, 3550px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-242864\" src=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3.png\" alt=\"XRP Price Chart\" width=\"3550\" height=\"1978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3.png 3550w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-1224x682.png 1224w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-1536x856.png 1536w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-2048x1141.png 2048w, https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/XRP-Price-3-150x84.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3550px) 100vw, 3550px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-242864\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">XRP Price Chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A move above the right shoulder at $2.73 and the psychological point at $3 will invalidate the bullish Ripple price forecast and point to more gains to last year\u2019s high of $3.41.<\/span><\/p>\n<section class=\"accordion-content mt-4\" id=\"faq\">\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 h3 fw7\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-item-content\" style=\"\">\n<p>\n                            \tThe outlook for the XRP price is bearish since there are doubts that it will be included in the strategic crypto reserve.
