XRP's trend is beginning to show characteristics similar to the 2017 bull market. From the compression pattern to the breakout logic, and then to market sentiment, there are striking similarities — volatility was continuously suppressed at that time before an expansion phase.

Now the price has broken out again, but most people's attitude remains cautious. This asymmetry — technical indicators reaching new highs while popularity is still hesitant — is often a sign of a reversal. Although history will not repeat exactly, the rhythm of compression-breakout and the disconnect with market sentiment are indeed worth the attention of traders.

The consultation records show that XRP's recent clinical performance is indeed interesting—breakout of compression pattern, new highs on technicals, but retail investor sentiment remains flat. This disconnect itself is a signal. However, history repeating often hides new variables. It is recommended to regularly review on-chain liquidity indicators and not just rely on candlestick charts to tell the story.

I've heard the logic of "compression leading to breakout" too many times, and the ones who truly make money are always those who don't focus on technical analysis. History repeating itself is bullshit; back in 2017, there weren't as many institutions cutting leeks as there are now. Asymmetry is just asymmetry. I only look at capital flow. Caution about popularity—what does it really indicate? XRP has been hyped for so long, but ultimately, you still need to watch the actions of the exchanges.

I've been holding back for too long. This time, I really need to rise... Watching the technical indicators hit new highs one after another, retail investors are still hesitating over whether to buy or not. The contrast is frustrating.

The idea of compression and accumulation needs to be brought up every cycle, but this time it feels truly different... The technical indicators are hitting new highs, and the popularity is still hesitating. The contrast is really intense. Wait, can we really reproduce the wave from 2017? I always feel a bit skeptical. XRP's rhythm is tightly controlled; bears can't find an opportunity. The bad news is everyone has seen through it. Can it still explode? History doesn't repeat but rhymes, but this time the rhythm has been stretched out so long that it's even more frightening. The logic of compression and release is sound; it's just a gamble on people's confidence. Can you trust it? The word "asymmetry" is used perfectly — it's testing whether genuine buying interest is really there.

Replaying the 2017 script again? I don't think so. Back then, retail investors didn't have so many tricks up their sleeves. It's called "disconnection" in a nice way, but honestly, no one dares to take the buy-in. Does compression necessarily lead to explosion? It might just stay horizontal like this. What’s the use of a new high on the technical chart? Emotion is the real king, right? There are so many asymmetrical situations; in the end, it's still us bagholders losing money. Thinking of 2017 again, why do I feel like I’m reviewing history every year? If this wave really signals a reversal, what should I do with my short positions?
