Ripple's former director of developer relations, Matt Hamilton, gave his detailed view of the XRP price chart. Hamilton's review came in response to a Twitter user's surprise at how an asset whose chart looks like XRP's could be held for so long.

The former Ripple exec said that in the global picture, XRP's price chart is the same as that of Bitcoin. Responding to initial punditry about what drives people to hold funds in XRP, Hamilton said that these investors are primarily interested in the actual utility of this crypto asset, rather than the "ponzinomics" of something like BTC.

In addition, the developer corrected his opponent that both the community and the token are not related to Ripple, but only to XRP.

Let's leave aside arguments about ponzinomics and whose price action is better and turn directly to the XRP price charts.

As reported by U.Today, based on technical analysis alone, the XRP price is currently forming a global bull flag. A similar pattern emerged from July 2013 to March 2017, after which the XRP price rose 60,000% in just over a year.
