Ripple has broken out of the channel in the four-hour chart.

In Elliott Wave terms, I believe Ripple is currently in the wave five in the two-hour chart. The five wave advance began on January 5. After this wave five is finished, Ripple should pull back in three waves and stay above the January 5 low before heading higher again.

Looking at the weekly chart, I believe Ripple is in the early stages of a wave three advance. The wave one began in September 2014, and finished in December 2014. The wave two correction could have ended on January 5. If this wave count is correct, Ripple should be heading higher next towards the December 2014 peak.
