The current rally isn't over yet. Friends who are shorting should probably wait until after the 20th before considering entering the market. Looking back at last year's XRP surge, after the spike, the main players preferred to hold at high levels rather than give shorts an easy profit opportunity. Stellar (XLM) follows a similar script — the big players have been lurking for four years. How could they just dump all their holdings so quickly? It's normal for the price to consolidate at high levels to absorb profit-taking. Rushing to catch the top often leads to getting slapped back and forth.
