Veteran trader Peter Brandt prefers Monero (XMR) over XRP among altcoins, citing Monero's chart as having absorbed its supply burden and showing clearer potential for gains. While Brandt acknowledges a bullish setup in XRP with a $2.16 price target based on a cup-and-handle pattern, he warns of significant overhead selling pressure that could limit XRP's advance. Brandt's analysis focuses on price action without considering fundamentals and notes that chart patterns and targets can change as trading evolves. This cautious outlook contrasts with his earlier, more optimistic $5.40 XRP projection, highlighting the complexity of trading decisions.
