Not long ago, I was staring at my trading account in disbelief. Down $70,000.
The numbers didn’t feel real. My confidence was shattered. I thought maybe trading wasn’t for me…

But then, I stumbled across something so simple, yet so powerful, that it completely changed how I trade.

It’s called the Rally–Base–Drop / Rally–Base–Rally strategy. And I promise you—if you can give me 5 minutes, I can teach you exactly how it works.

The Big Secret: Markets Move in Phases

Look at the chart above 👆. You’ll notice a pattern that repeats over and over again in every market:

1. Rally → Price shoots up with momentum (buyers in control).

2. Base → Price pauses, goes sideways, and forms small candles (indecision).

3. Drop → Price collapses sharply (sellers take over).

This isn’t random. These “bases” are where institutions and big money are quietly placing their orders. They don’t buy or sell all at once—they accumulate in these zones.

That’s why these zones later act as supply and demand areas:

Supply Zone (Rally → Base → Drop) → Price falls from here again when revisited.

Demand Zone (Drop → Base → Rally) → Price rises from here again when revisited.

How I Applied It

Once I understood this, I stopped chasing random breakouts and guessing tops or bottoms. Instead, I did three things:

Step 1: I marked out every clear Rally–Base–Drop and Drop–Base–Rally zone on my charts.

Step 2: I only entered when price returned to one of these zones.

Step 3: I placed my stop-loss just outside the zone and let the trade play out.

Suddenly, my trading became structured, disciplined, and professional. No more gambling—just pure market logic.
Within months, my approach flipped. Instead of compounding losses, I started compounding gains.
The same strategy that took me 5 minutes to learn was the one that helped me recover my $70,000 loss.

When you understand where big players buy and sell, you stop fighting the market and start trading with it.
If you’ve been struggling like I was—if you’ve blown accounts, taken painful losses, or feel like giving up—this strategy might be the lifeline you need.

Ripple’s XRP price just pulled off one of the most dramatic moves we’ve seen in weeks, and it happened in the blink of an eye. 

In a wild 15-minute window, the price dropped over 7%, triggering a chain reaction across the crypto market. 

In total, more than $420 million in leveraged positions were liquidated in less than half an hour. Traders barely had time to react before the move was over.

According to trader CasiTrades, XRP price fell sharply from the $3.21 support level straight to $3.00, slicing through price levels like butter. But instead of continuing to collapse, it did something that caught a lot of people off guard, it bounced right back. 

Within minutes, XRP price reclaimed the crucial $3.11 golden retracement level, a sign that this could have been a deliberate liquidity grab rather than the start of a real breakdown.

When you take a step back and look at the bigger chart, the move tells a very different story. XRP price still respected major Fibonacci retracement levels. \

The drop stopped exactly at the .382 retrace around $3.00, and the macro .5 retracement at $2.76, the correction low hasn’t been touched. 

This means the overall bullish structure that’s been building for months is still intact. In other words, the foundation for higher prices hasn’t been damaged.

So, what caused the chaos? Fundamentally, not much. Some traders pointed fingers at the latest U.S. inflation numbers. 

Others mentioned recycled headlines about the U.S. government not adding Bitcoin to its reserves. But CasiTrades believes this was classic market manipulation, a calculated sweep to trigger stop losses and shake out overleveraged longs.

Judging by how quickly the XRP price snapped back, it seems shorts may now be trapped in losing positions.

Looking forward, the $3.11 level is the key to watch. If XRP price can hold above it, we could see fresh momentum build in the coming sessions. 

The nearer resistance is still $3.21, then $3.41 and $3.66. The long-term target for a bull, via Fibonacci extensions, is still about $4.70, and nothing within this drop changes that forecast.

The lesson here? Volatility like this can be scary in the moment, but in crypto, shakeouts often clear the way for bigger moves. XRP price may have just set the stage for its next major push higher.
