Trader Notes: In an X post on March 20, crypto trader CrediBULL Crypto highlighted his game plan for XRP.

He believes if the expected move doesn’t happen, the ideal play is to hold spot for a run into double digits. He has no interest in mid-range longs at the moment.

CrediBULL expects others to fade the rally, creating buying opportunities.

This is still the game plan for $XRP btw.

If we don't get it, we don't get it, and we ride spot to double digits regardless.

But I'm not interested in jumping into fresh longs mid-range.

Hoping people choose to fade this push so we get what would be a fantastic opportunity. https://t.co/jWcGI2DEaX pic.twitter.com/kPHtnZmqDR
