A well-known crypto trader has revealed how a single XRP trade generated a $302,000 profit in just two weeks.
Cameron Fous, a veteran trader with nearly two decades of experience, explained that the trade was built around what he calls an “alignment strategy,” where Bitcoin and XRP were positioned to break out at the same time. According to him, this alignment created a short window for a high-probability move.
Why the XRP Trade Worked
Fous said the setup came together when Bitcoin entered what he describes as a “force pattern,” a late-stage bullish structure that often triggers strong momentum. At the same time, XRP was still in a “survival phase,” consolidating below key resistance after an earlier run.
This combination mattered. With Bitcoin preparing to break higher and XRP lagging just enough, the conditions were set for XRP to follow Bitcoin’s move once resistance gave way. As Bitcoin broke out, XRP soon followed, triggering a rapid upside move.
Entry, Exit, and Results
The trader explained that he began scaling into XRP around the mid-$2.60 range as the price approached the breakout zone. XRP later surged toward the mid-$3 range, where he exited the position after signs of weakening momentum.
Based on the figures he shared, the trade delivered over $300,000 in profit in roughly 14 days, making it his largest single trade to date. He noted that the position was closed once a bullish continuation failed to hold, prioritizing capital preservation over chasing further upside.
View on XRP and Altcoins
Beyond the single trade, Fous highlighted a more general issue affecting many altcoins. He argued that most losses happen when traders buy altcoins after Bitcoin has already completed a major move. In those cases, altcoins often fail to keep up and are vulnerable to sharp pullbacks.
In contrast, the XRP trade succeeded because both assets were nearing breakout points at the same time. This alignment, he said, is rare but powerful when it appears.
Repeated History
Meanwhile, this is not the first time Fous has reported massive profits from XRP. In March 2024, Fous, author of Wolf Principles, shared how XRP transformed his trading journey. After retiring from forex and stock trading in 2018, Fous re-entered the markets in late 2019 on a friend’s recommendation to buy XRP at $0.20.
His $20K investment grew to $100K as XRP hit $1, and further trading across various cryptocurrencies boosted his portfolio to $1.7 million within 420 days. Fous described XRP as his first altcoin to deliver defining gains and a major turning point in his financial life.
As XRP continues to attract attention from traders and long-term holders, stories like these highlight why market timing remains critical in determining outcomes.
