When to sell XRP?
XRP is the token of Ripple's payments network, with price history since 2013. People tend to consider selling near the high part of the range. The ABYSS Risk distills into a single 0–1 number how close XRP is to the high part of its history, with several years of its own track record.
Today, by cycle risk, is NOT a distribution zone: XRP sits closer to the low part of its range than the high.
The indicator gives position context within XRP's range, not a sell signal or a prediction. It's essentially price's distance to its long average; the high part of the range is where the market has overheated in the past, but it's not a guarantee. The table below maps each zone.
The framework: cycle risk zones
| Zone | What it has meant (historical) | Historical phase |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0–0.2 Very low risk ◄ today | Lowest part of its historical range: price trades well below its normal, minimum relative risk versus its own average. | Bottom of its range |
| 0.2–0.4 Low risk | Lower part of its range: price trades below its historical normal. | Lower in its range |
| 0.4–0.6 Medium risk | Intermediate part of its range: neither low nor high. The reading is neutral. | Middle of its range |
| 0.6–0.8 High risk | Upper part of its range: price trades above its historical normal. | Upper in its range |
| 0.8–1.0 Very high risk | Highest part of its historical range: maximum relative risk versus its own average. | Top of its range |
