It is no longer surprising that the XRP price movement has stagnated around $0.5 in the past few months despite various positive developments for Ripple. This lackluster price action has left many XRP investors feeling wanting, especially considering the positive price action of other cryptocurrencies. Sean McBride, a former director at Ripple, believes XRP is unlikely to register a significant breakout until Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit with the SEC concludes. Ongoing SEC Lawsuit Weighs Heavily On XRP Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC has been dragging on for over three years, and it continues to cast a dark cloud over XRP’s price. Ripple scored a partial win in July 2023 when Judge Torres decided that XRP to retail investors is not a security. This decision resulted in a temporary increase in the price of XRP to $0.90. However, the embattled crypto token now finds itself stuck below $0.50, unable to break out despite various rebounds and periods of dominance by the bulls. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts Cardano Price Will Rally 370% To $2, Here’s The Timeline A recent example of this repetition was observed in the past 30 days when a period of bull dominance saw XRP trading just above the $0.5 price mark for three weeks. However, like before, XRP’s price has failed to maintain its position above this level, and the crypto now finds itself trading around $0.48. As McBride noted on social media, nothing significant will happen to XRP’s price until Judge Torres makes her decision. This is in relation to the pending decision on whether the sale of XRP to institutional investors qualifies as the sale of securities. According to the former Ripple director, a clear judgment from the judge would finally enable institutional investors to decide their stance on Ripple and XRP. “Nothing significant is going to happen with the price of XRP until Judge Torres makes her decision,” McBride said. “This could open up the door for US institutions working with Ripple to ‘flip the switch’,” he continued. I think I’ve mentioned this before. Nothing significant is going to happen with the price of XRP until Judge Torres makes her decision. So anyone expecting anything different is delusional. The next big piece of this is clear legislation in the US. Hopefully that is on the way… — Sean McBride (@seanmcbride16) June 11, 2024 What Will It Take For XRP Price To Break Out of Its Slump? Before XRP can truly break out of its slump, the lawsuit with the SEC must be resolved. As long as the case drags on, uncertainty will hang over the token and suppress the price. A settlement or victory for Ripple would remove this roadblock and likely send the price of XRP surging. Of course, XRP would need to outperform the market to compensate for lost ground over the past three years. However, a loss could deal a major blow to XRP and cause the price to plummet further.

XRP has recently experienced a temporary recovery amidst ongoing market volatility. After a period of sustained downward pressure, XRP’s price has rebounded, offering a brief respite for traders and investors. This recovery comes amid a broader context of fluctuating market conditions, driven by various factors including regulatory developments, market sentiment, and overall cryptocurrency market trends. Despite this positive movement, the market remains highly unpredictable, and it is uncertain whether XRP’s recovery will be sustained in the long term. Investors are closely monitoring the situation, analyzing technical indicators and external factors to gauge the potential trajectory of XRP in the coming days. This introduction explores the factors behind XRP’s temporary recovery and the implications for its future performance in a volatile market environment. Technical Overview Of XRP Price Technically looking at the chart from the 1-hour chart, it can be observed that XRP is attempting a recovery move from its downward surge. This move, however, will lead to more drop in XRP as the price is trading below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). The 1-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator also confirms this as the RSI line is currently moving toward the 50% level. Therefore the RSI line suggests that XRP’s price will move upward to a point where the price will begin to drop again. From the 4-hour chart, it can be observed that XRP is also attempting an upward recovery move after creating support at $0.4714. A final look at the chart with the 4-hour RSI indicator reveals that the price of XRP will still move upward for a while before continuing in its downward trend. The reason for this is that the RSI line is attempting an upward move out of the oversold zone. The Crypto Asset Poised For More Drop In conclusion, XRP’s recent temporary recovery amidst market volatility highlights the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency market. Thus far, this recovery has led to XRP moving toward the 1-hour resistance level of 0.4887. If the price breaks above this level, it may move higher to test the $0.560 level. However, it should be noted that this is just a temporary move, as at some point the price will start declining again. When this happens, XRP will begin to move toward the $0.4714 support level. Should the asset break this level, it will continue to move downward to test the $0.4546 support level and may probably move on to test or create new levels. With a market capitalization of more than $26 billion and a trading volume of more than $1.2 billion as of the time of writing, the price of XRP is up by 0.04%, trading at around $0.4802 in the last 24 hours. XRP market cap and trading volume are currently down by 1.09% and 11.13% respectively. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP price extended losses and traded below the $0.50 zone. The price tested the $0.4700 zone and is currently attempting a short-term recovery wave. XRP is slowly moving higher from the $0.470 support. The price is now trading below $0.4850 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $0.480 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could recover, but the bears might be active near the $0.4880 resistance. XRP Price Finds Support XRP price failed to recover above the $0.4880 resistance like Ethereum and Bitcoin. The price extended losses below the $0.480 level. It even tested the $0.470 zone. A low was formed at $0.4701 and the price is now eyeing a short-term recovery wave. There was a move above the $0.4750 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.5053 swing high to the $0.4701 low. Besides, there was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $0.480 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. However, it is still trading below $0.4850 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $0.4850 level. The first key resistance is near $0.4880 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.5053 swing high to the $0.4701 low. The next major resistance is near the $0.4920 level. A close above the $0.4920 resistance zone could send the price higher. The next key resistance is near $0.50. If there is a close above the $0.50 resistance level, there could be a steady increase toward the $0.5050 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.5250 resistance. More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $0.4850 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.4750 level. The next major support is at $0.470. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.470 level, the price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could decline and retest the $0.4550 support in the near term.

Crypto analyst Chad Steingraber has made an ultra-bullish price prediction for the XRP price, stating that the crypto token’s price could rise to three figures. The analyst also outlined when this price target will be attained. XRP Will Hit $250 In This Market Cycle Steingraber mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that XRP will reach $250 by 2025, which he believes will represent the market top for the crypto token in this bull run. He made this prediction while stating that Bitcoin and Ethereum will hit $250,000 and $25,000 in 2025, which will also be their market top. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Gives Reasons Why A Face-Melting Bull Run Is On The Horizon Steingraber has previously provided several reasons why he is so bullish on XRP and believes the crypto token could attain such heights. He once alluded to a potential XRP ETF as one factor that could trigger significant price surges for XRP. He explained that an XRP ETF would give the crypto token an added utility as fund issuers for the XRP ETFs will direct their assets into an institutional liquidity hub. He believes an XRP ETF will drive more demand for the crypto token, ultimately driving up its price when a supply shock occurs. Steingraber also believes that the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) lawsuit against Ripple is one of the factors suppressing XRP’s price up until now. He had earlier claimed that XRP’s price wasn’t going up because new money wasn’t flowing into its ecosystem and affirmed that the crypto token would likely see an influx of new money once the SEC’s case against Ripple is over. Steingraber isn’t the only one who believes that XRP’s price could skyrocket and climb to three figures once the lawsuit ends. Crypto analyst JackTheRippler also predicted that XRP would rise above $100 once the case ends. The analyst even gave a more bullish prediction than Steingraber’s, stating that XRP hitting $10,000 was achievable after the lawsuit. Crypto analyst CryptoBull also predicted that XRP could reach three figures, rallying 28,900% to $154. XRP Price To $7.5 In The Meantime Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has suggested that XRP rising to $7.5 is the price target to watch before the crypto token reaches the heights analysts like Steingraber predict. In an X post, he stated that “$7.5 is target number 1.” Egrag went on to outline how this move to $7.5 will likely take place. Related Reading: Litecoin Sees Massive 75% Surge In Major Metric – Can This Trigger A Rally To $200? He stated he is highly convinced that XRP will break the white triangle (on the chart he shared) and hit the measured move at $1.5. From there, he expects XRP to make its move to $7.5. However, he warned that the Fib 1.618 zone where $7.5 is situated is “critical” and that a lot of profit-taking will happen there, suggesting that XRP could significantly decline once it reaches such heights. Egrag added that the next targets for XRP will be “mid-double digits near Fib 2.414 & 2.618” if XRP archives a weekly close above Fib 1.618.

XRP price declined heavily from the $0.5250 resistance zone. It tested the $0.4540 support zone and is now attempting to recover above $0.4880. XRP is correcting losses above the $0.4820 and $0.4840 levels. The price is now trading below $0.5050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $0.4950 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).

Ripple has again raised concerns in the XRP community following its recent XRP sale. This comes amid XRP’s unimpressive price action, which continues to paint a bearish outlook for the crypto token. Ripple Sells 150 Million Tokens On-chain data shows that the crypto firm offloaded 150 million XRP tokens ($78 million) on June 7. These tokens formed part of the 1 billion XRP tokens, which were recently unlocked as part of its monthly escrow unlock, which is set to continue until 2027. As expected, this sale has raised concerns, considering the impact many believe it could have on the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin On The Verge As Global Liquidity Nears New $100 Million ATH Moreover, this sale follows Ripple’s recent unusual transactions, when the crypto firm moved 3 billion XRP tokens ($1.5 billion) across different wallets in the space of 30 minutes. However, crypto analyst Michael Nardolillo explained that those transactions were mainly internal movements and escrow re-lockups. This recent sale of $150 million XRP tokens will again raise the theory of price suppression by Ripple. While it has been revealed that the crypto firm’s XRP sales have no impact on prices on crypto exchanges, it undoubtedly adds to the bearish sentiment that crypto investors already have towards the token. Furthermore, Ripple’s XRP sales lead to a positive supply shock, with more XRP tokens being injected into circulation. Such development tends to have a negative impact on a crypto’s price and could lead to significant price declines. It is also worth mentioning that this sale comes at a time when the market sentiment towards XRP is as bearish as it can be. This is partly thanks to the fact that the crypto token remains one of the worst-performing crypto assets since the year began, with a year-to-date (YTD) loss of over 18%. XRP Will Still Be Great Despite XRP’s unimpressive price action, crypto analysts have continued to predict the crypto token will still have its moment when it will experience that price breakout and make a parabolic move to the upside. Crypto analyst Javon Marks recently mentioned that the XRP is about to make a name if it hadn’t already done so. Related Reading: Is A Bitcoin Crash Below $50,000 Still Possible? Crypto Analyst Shares The Possibilities He made this statement while revealing that a Hidden Bullish Divergence setup had formed on the altcoin’s chart. He claimed that XRP’s price went up by over 63,000% in less than a year the last time this happened. He suggested that such a move could be on the horizon again with XRP at its breaking point. Meanwhile, Crypto analyst CryptoBull also recently predicted that the cryptocurrency could enjoy a 28,900% rally and rise to $154. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.49, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has revealed a bullish pattern that recently formed on the XRP price chart. The analyst also revealed how high the crypto token could rise once it makes this move to the upside. Inverted Hammer Forms On The Chart Egrag highlighted an Inverted hammer that had formed on XRP’s chart while noting how bullish this was for the crypto token. He claimed that last month’s candle formation showed a 75% Inverted Hammer at the bottom, which is “super bullish” for XRP. Egrag believes this is an “amazing sign” that the altcoin could rise to $0.75 soon enough. He added that July will be a “month of fireworks” for XRP. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Surge To $71,000 Sends All Long-Term Holders Into Profit, What About Short-Term Holders? XRP’s possible rise to $0.75 is significant, as Egrag had previously highlighted that price level as a “critical breakout point” for XRP. Back then, he mentioned that XRP was “poised” to achieve this breakout in the coming weeks. He suggested an XRP breakout above that price level would send it to $1.5, and the crypto token could enjoy a further upward trend to $7.5. Crypto analyst CasiTrades also recently provided a bullish narrative for the altcoin. She stated that the crypto token is maintaining its bullish momentum and bouncing off the 0.382 retracement level. The analyst added that XRP has finally flipped a trendline that had acted as resistance for months to support. Meanwhile, CasiTrades highlighted $0.54 as a price level to keep an eye on, stating that XRP could encounter resistance at that level. She suggested that the coin could enjoy a parabolic move if it breaks out above that price level, remarking that it is a “crucial level to watch for a potential breakthrough.”CasiTrades previously raised the possibility of the altcoin rising to as high as $80 when it breaks out from a consolidation triangle. XRP Is On The Brink Of A Parabolic Rally Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto recently suggested that XRP was on the brink of a parabolic rally. He stated in an X post that the token is currently at the level it was in 2017 and 2020, which triggered a “massive rally” for the crypto token on both occasions. In 2017, the altcoin enjoyed a price gain of 61,000% in 280 days. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Open Interest Returns To February 2024 Levels, What Happened Last Time? The chart that Mikybull Crypto shared showed that the altcoin could rise to as high as $5. Meanwhile, crypto analyst XRP Captain claimed that the altcoin was ready for the “massive breakout.” He claimed that XRP is in the “middle of apex. ” Crypto analyst Jaydee also agreed with XRP Captain that a breakout is imminent, stating that “it’s coming,” although he claimed that “beginners” will miss out on the run. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.52, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Despite the unimpressive XRP price action, this crypto analyst has predicted that the crypto token could witness a God candle that will send its price to unprecedented heights. The analyst also suggested when this parabolic move will happen. XRP Price To Rise To $30 Soon Enough Crypto analyst DustyBC shared a chart on his X (formerly Twitter) platform in which he predicts that XRP will experience a God candle that will send its price to 30, representing about a 4,000% price gain for the crypto token. Interestingly, the crypto token suggested that this move will happen sometime this year. Related Reading: Bitcoin, Ethereum On Exchanges Drop To New Lows, What A Supply Squeeze Would Mean For The Market DustyBC’s prediction is based on a symmetrical triangle, showing how XRP has been consolidating for years and is well primed for a breakout. Given how lengthy this consolidation has been (since 2017), the analyst believes that such a parabolic rise is possible. Crypto analyst CasiTrades also thinks that XRP can record such price gains. She mentioned in an X post that XRP is about to “complete its 2245-day triangle,” which could present a chance of a lifetime. She had previously raised the possibility of XRP rising to as high as $80 when it breaks out of the consolidation triangle. CasiTrades also recently mentioned that XRP had consolidated even further over the past few days, claiming that a breakout was imminent. The crypto analyst also alluded to XRP’s “interesting” Relative Strength Index (RSI) as another reason to be bullish on the crypto token. She acknowledged that XRP’s price hasn’t changed much but noted that there are signs for an imminent breakout. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto also recently revealed that XRP’s RSI has dropped to its lowest in history while highlighting how bullish this was for the crypto token. XRP currently has a low RSI, which suggests that the crypto token is undervalued and could rise soon enough to attain its fair value. Meanwhile, Egrag charted two paths that XRP could follow as it rises to a price target of $7.5. XRP Is About To Make A Name For Itself Crypto analyst Javon Marks recently suggested that XRP is about to go parabolic, stating, “If XRP hasn’t already made a name for itself, it sure looks as if it’s about to do so now.” He made this statement while revealing a Hidden Bullish Divergence that had formed on XRP’s chart. He claimed that XRP saw a price gain of over 63,000% in less than one year the last time this setup formed on the charts. The crypto analyst added that such price gain is possible again, with XRP currently at its breaking point. Marks had previously predicted that XRP could enjoy a 33,000% price gain, sending it above $200. Related Reading: Can Bitcoin Rise 150% From Here?

The XRP price has been a constant point of worry for investors given that the altcoins seems to be frozen in time. The last time that the coin rallied was in the 2017-2018 bull and even though there has been another massive bull market since then, XRP failed to follow the rest of the market. While expectations for the altcoin have dropped dramatically, one analyst believes that the cryptocurrency could finally have its time in the spotlight, revealing targets for when this does happen. Why XRP Could Be Gearing Up For A Bull Rally Crypto analyst CryptoManiac101 took to the TradingView platform to share a rather interesting view of the XRP price going forward. The analyst pointed out a number of indicators that suggest that the altcoin may finally be getting ready to move. One of the major points in the analysis was the price levels and movements so far. Related Reading: Bitcoin Enters Dreaded ‘Chop Season’ – What Does This Mean For Price? The crypto analyst points out a convergence of three different moving averages in the year 2024. At the end of this is the formation of a symmetrical triangle pattern outlined in the chart. Furthermore, the convergence, which is happening around $0.51, suggests that there is consolidation going on. Now, usually, consolidation will come with accumulation, which is often good for the price, and the analyst points out that interest is rising. Going further, the crypto analyst points to the performance of XRP over the last 11 years. This begins from 2013 and moves to present time, showing how the performance of XRP has actually flattened during this time. “Significant historical price spikes, particularly in 2017 and 2018, are visible, which is what we are looking at for 2024 and 2025 years as we see some movement consistency between the two cycles,” the analyst stated. With interesting rising, these indicators could point toward an important breakout for the price. If this happens, the crypto analyst has outlined targets for how high the price could go. How High Can The Price Go? One major factor in the analyst’s prediction is the fact that such historical patterns have been previously bullish for XRP to have returned. The analyst points out that a rally usually breaks out when these patterns have seen a 75% completion. However, the current patterns have reached 88.93% completion, suggesting that a breakout is long overdue for the XRP price. Related Reading: Chainlink Is Not Done: Analyst Predicts 300% Rise Against Bitcoin In the event of a rally, the crypto analyst expects an at least 800% increase in price above $4. This future prediction is based on the potential of a breakout from the symmetrical triangle forming at the convergence of the three moving averages. In this case, the analyst expects a rally to $4.5 as a starting point.
Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has provided another bullish narrative for the XRP price. This time, he outlined two scenarios that could occur and cause the crypto token to experience a breakout, potentially sending it as high as $7.5. This comes with the recent revelation that XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has reached its lowest ever. Time For An XRP Price Breakout Egrag Crypto shared a chart in an X (formerly Twitter) post that showed that the crypto token could rise to $7.5 when it accomplishes the breakout, which the crypto analyst claimed is imminent. Egrag highlighted a “White Triangle” breakout on the chart, which he stated is “aligning perfectly” with the previous charts and the Fib 0.702 to 0.786 levels. He added that the measured move is projected to be between $1.2 and $1.5 before XRP could take off and climb to $7.5. Egrag further remarked that the “critical breakout point” for XRP is around $0.70 and $0.7’5 and that the crypto token is “poised” to achieve this breakout in the “next couple of weeks. Egrag warned that XRP could still experience significant declines before then, stating that a retest of the breakout might be on the cards. However, he is convinced that a “MEGA RUN for XRP is on the horizon.” Meanwhile, for the second scenario of how XRP could achieve its impending breakout, Egrag Crypto highlighted an ‘Atlas Line’ on the XRP chart and claimed that the breakout point for XRP is at $0.6799. He noted that XRP is still holding strong “like a boss” on the atlas line, suggesting it shouldn’t be long before it breaks above $0.6799. In the meantime, $0.5777 and $0.5000 are key price levels that XRP holders should monitor. Egrag labels them resistance and support levels for XRP’s upward trend along this atlas line. XRP Hits Its Lowest RSI In History Egrag revealed in a more recent X post that XRP’s RSI is at its lowest ever. He noted that this assertion was based on the monthly time frame and shared a chart to prove his claim. Following his revelation, Egrag highlighted how bullish this was for XRP, stating, “If this isn’t a positive signal, I don’t know what is.” The chart he shared showed that XRP’s Relative Strength Index is at 38, which is indeed bullish for the crypto token. Low RSI levels are considered a buy signal since they suggest that the coin is oversold and undervalued. Therefore, crypto investors might be looking to accumulate XRP, with these buy orders expected to trigger a move to the upside for the crypto token. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.52, up almost 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP price extended losses below the $0.5220 support zone. It tested the $0.5120 support and now attempting another recovery wave toward $0.550. XRP is struggling to start a fresh increase above the $0.5320 resistance zone. The price is now trading below $0.530 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.5230 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could continue to move down if the price stays below $0.5320. XRP Price Dips Further XRP price remained in a short-term bearish zone like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The bears were able to push the price below the key support at $0.5220. Finally, the price tested the $0.5120 support zone. A low was formed at $0.5126 and the price is now attempting a fresh recovery wave. There was a move above the $0.5165 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $0.5406 swing high to the $0.5126 low. However, the price is still trading below $0.530 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $0.5220 level. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.5230 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The first key resistance is near $0.5265 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $0.5406 swing high to the $0.5126 low. A close above the $0.5265 resistance zone could send the price higher. The next key resistance is near $0.5320. If there is a close above the $0.5320 resistance level, there could be a steady increase toward the $0.5450 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.5650 resistance. More Downsides? If XRP fails to clear the $0.5220 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5150 level. The next major support is at $0.5120. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.5120 level, the price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could decline and retest the $0.50 support in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level.

Crypto expert Michael van de Poppe has outlined an important price level from which Bitcoin must break out. He claims that once it achieves a successful breakout, the flagship crypto will see a new all-time high (ATH). Bitcoin Needs To Break Through $70,000 Van de Poppe mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Bitcoin needs to break through $70,000 on the lower time frame (LTF) basis. Once that happens, the analyst claimed that Bitcoin will likely see a new ATH. Related Reading: Prepare For Impact: Market Expert Says Biggest Disaster In Crypto Yet To Come He also noted that lower timeframe regions at $67,000 were holding. Meanwhile, he highlighted Bitcoin’s long consolidation, stating that almost three months have passed since the crypto token remained in that range. . However, the crypto expert believes that Bitcoin will likely remain stuck in this range for a “substantial period,” with the flagship crypto possibly trading lower. This is because he foresees a rotation from Bitcoin towards Ethereum and other altcoins, which will cause the flagship crypto not to move to the upside. This long consolidation period was expected from BTC. Arthur Hayes, the co-founder and former CEO of BitMEX, predicted that the crypto token would continue to range between $60,000 and $70,000 until August. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital has also repeatedly mentioned that Bitcoin will face such a long consolidation period, which he claimed is good for Bitcoin. He noted how the flagship crypto hit a new ATH before the halving event brought about an accelerated cycle. However, a long consolidation period means Bitcoin is trying to resynchronize with previous halving cycles. He suggested this is better since it will make the bull run longer. Rekt Capital claimed If it successfully resynchronizes with the previous bull cycles, Bitcoin will peak sometime in September or October next year. In a recent X post, Rekt Capital mentioned that “there is still scope for additional consolidation at these highs” but added that the time left in this phase “is slowly running out.” The chart the analyst shared suggested that Bitcoin simply needs to break out from the $70,000 range before it enters into the ‘parabolic uptrend’ phase. BTC May Be Headed To $78,000 Next Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto recently suggested that Bitcoin could be headed to $78,000 on its next leg up. He revealed that the flagship crypto had broken out of an inverse head and shoulders pattern and was currently “bull flagging for the next move.” He highlighted $78,000 as the price target for this next move. Related Reading: Terra LUNA’s LUNC Set To Jump 13x, Analyst Reveals The Drivers In a subsequent X post, he claimed that BTC retesting its support level might be the next step before this “explosive rally” finally happens. Bitcoin potentially rising to $78,000 is significant as it could clear the road for the flagship crypto to hit $100,000. Crypto analyst Crypto Jebb previously mentioned that there is a “great degree of likelihood” that Bitcoin would rally to $100,000 should it break its current ATH of $73,800.

In a strikingly optimistic forecast amidst favorable market conditions, cryptocurrency analyst and trader Edrag Crypto, has provided a bullish review for XRP, predicting that a massive run for the digital asset could be on the horizon. The analysis explores a confluence of positive market indicators and trends that demonstrates the potential for XRP to attract significant price surges and gains, positioning the coin as a promising asset in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency. Edrag Crypto’s bullish prediction for XRP is based on a Genuine Wake-Up line previously introduced by the expert, divided into two distinct sections, such as Break-out and Atlas Line. XRP Poised For Substantial Growth The analyst has expressed that while this wake-up line saw a successful breakout last year, it could not reach the heights anticipated by the analyst then. “Many moons back, I introduced the ‘Final Wake Up Line,’ which saw a breakout in July 2023. Yet, it didn’t quite soar to the heights we hoped for,” he stated. Related Reading: XRP Declares War On Uncertainty: Analyst Predicts Breakout Fueled By Regulation However, Edrag Crypto spotted a new development on XRP’s chart two weeks ago, which he indicated as a white triangle. According to the analyst, highs from 2021 are being incorporated into the white triangle. At that time, for XRP to witness a complete upward swing, it needed to break through the Genuine wake-up line with absolute conviction and then retest. Consequently, Edrag Crypto urged the community to remain firm, putting his wave 1 target at $7.5 and wave 3 at a 3-digit target, within the Macro wave 3. Presently, addressing the break-out aspect, the analyst has noted that the white triangle break-out is in perfect alignment with the Fibonacci 0.702 – 0.786 levels and his previous charts. It is expected that the measured move will be between $1.2 and $1.5, while the crucial break-out point is closer to $0.70 or $0.75. Due to this, Egrag Crypto affirms that XRP will see a breakout from the point in the upcoming weeks. Despite the possibility of a retest of the breakout, the expert believes that a mega run for the crypto asset is imminent. The Atlas Line Delving into the Atlas Line aspect, Egrag Crypto underscored XRP’s resilience in this area. According to the analyst, the asset is dominating the atlas line with a solid grip like a boss. Related Reading: Ready For Liftoff: XRP Price Primed To Skyrocket Before November He further pointed out a quick timeframe analysis revealing resistance at $0.5777, support at $0.5000, and a break-out point at $0.6799. Edrag Crypto’s prognosis has captured investors’ and enthusiasts’ attention alike, as they closely monitor these developments. At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $0.5284, indicating a 3% rise in the past week. While its market cap has reduced by about 1.28%, its trading volume has seen positive movement of more than 36% in the past day. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from Tradingview.com
In an exchange on X, Ripple‘s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), David Schwartz, also known as JoelKatz, responded to queries about the strikingly similar price movements of XRP and Stellar (XLM). This discussion has brought to light not just the intertwined market dynamics of these two major cryptocurrencies but also the complex factors influencing their valuation. Curious Correlation Between XRP And XLM Schwartz candidly addressed a post by Good Morning Crypto, who highlighted a long-term price chart comparison between XRP and XLM since 2014, questioning the “unnatural price symmetry” and the potential for both to “breakout together during this bull run.” Schwartz replied, “I genuinely don’t know. The thing that I think is most likely is that both prices are driven primarily by factors completely outside their ecosystems.” Related Reading: Ready For Liftoff: XRP Price Primed To Skyrocket Before November However, Schwartz also acknowledged conflicting evidence to his theory. When pressed for specifics regarding the unusual correlation, he pointed to the significant event of Stellar burning half of their token supply, which surprisingly did not impact their price or disrupt the price correlation pattern with XRP. “The one bit that’s the most convincing to me is that Stellar burned half their supply and there wasn’t so much as a blip on their price chart or any real deviation from XRP’s price correlation,” Schwartz explained. This dialogue underscores a broader narrative within the cryptocurrency sector, where XRP and XLM share not only a founder in Jed McCaleb but also similar technological frameworks aimed at streamlining cross-border payments. Despite these overlaps, the absence of a price impact post-Stellar’s token burn has been a particularly puzzling aspect for analysts and the crypto community alike. Both XRP and XLM have historically mirrored each other’s price movements, potentially due to overlapping use cases, investor behaviors, and market perceptions. As financial tools facilitating quick, cross-border transactions with minimal fees, both have attracted similar investor bases looking for alternatives to traditional banking hurdles. Related Reading: XRP Price Consolidates, Gearing Up for Its Next Major Breakout Market sentiment plays a significant role. News impacting one of the cryptos can quickly spill over to the other due to their perceived substitutability. Additionally, regulatory shifts in one can inadvertently sway investor sentiment towards the other. Popular pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan commented on this, “I don’t know what causes it but it shows how useless Ripple burning the escrow would be. Stellar burned XLM and Ripple did not burn XRP and it had no impact on the symmetry. Same for the lawsuit. No impact overall. Stellar was not sued. Factors external to either blockchain and not specific to either Ripple or Stellar must be the explanation.” The ongoing debate includes speculation about whether XRP and XLM will jointly make significant gains in an anticipated bull run. Historical price patterns suggest a high level of correlation, but as Schwartz indicates, external factors such as global market conditions and macroeconomic factors are likely at play. At press time, XRP price stood at $0.5282. Featured image created with DALL·E, chart from TradingView.com

A crypto analyst has predicted the next price target for the XRP price, noting that the altcoin was nearing a key point that could potentially trigger a major bull rally for the cryptocurrency. XRP Price Roadmap to $20 In an X (formerly Twitter) post on May 20, Crypto analyst, Javon Marks forecasted a strong bullish breakout for the XRP price in this market cycle. Marks explained that XRP was steadily approaching a critical converging point, with an emerging Relative Strength Index (RSI) pattern indicating strong underlying momentum for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Institutional Investors Pour $942 Million Into Bitcoin, Will This Trigger A Rally To $80,000? An RSI is a technical tool used to measure the speed and change of price movements in a cryptocurrency. It is also used to determine the short-term momentum of a cryptocurrency’s market. Sharing a price chart depicting the XRP price movements from 2018 to 2025, the analyst predicts that XRP’s closing converging point and RSI pattern are signaling a massive breakout to new all-time highs. He has projected a “conservative” target that could see XRP’s price soaring between $15 and $20 in the coming weeks. Additionally, XRP’s present price actions are displaying a bullish pattern reminiscent of the one observed during its mega rally to a new all-time high of $3.84 in January 2018. Marks noted that for XRP to reach the ambitious $20 price target, the cryptocurrency would have to witness a massive surge of 2,000% to 3,000%, translating to 20X to 36X from its current price. Concluding his analysis, the crypto analyst disclosed that all the factors and indicators were pointing towards a potential rise in XRP’s price. However, the exact timing of when this will occur is uncertain.
