The chart for #XRP is a mess! There are patterns within patterns but when you look at the basic structures, the A,B,C count is still in play. 

It's currently within a micro, ascending parallel channel after a downtrend, which is bearish continuation.  That's within a macro, descending broadening wedge, which is bullish overall! Still with me? 

The price could even rise above the parallel channel it's within and as long as it doesn't go higher than the B wave, it's still valid. It's not an easy chart to decipher and that's why you're hearing all sorts of opinions.
