Good analysis fellow investor. I believe it can go further than $1 even in the near future, perhaps in January 2018. One another one is that a XRP developer is now working at Coinbase. Not sure when exactly Coinbase list XRP, but is highly likely to happen soon . I am a long term holder, but with the profit I am thinking of investing QTUM before the UBTC airdrops.
