XRP is holding above a key support level despite significant selling pressure and fear in the crypto market. After experiencing a 20% retrace since August 24, the price remains stable above the $0.50 mark, sparking hope among investors and analysts. This crucial support level has become a focal point, as it could indicate resilience in […]

Crypto analyst Dark Defender has predicted that the XRP price could rise to $8 and explained what could spark such a parabolic rally for the crypto. As part of his bullish prediction, the crypto analyst also revealed what could lead to XRP rising to $18. XRP Price To Rise To $8 If Repeat Of 2017 Bull Run Occurs Dark Defender predicted in an X (formerly Twitter) post that XRP would rise to $8 if a repeat of the 2017 bull run were to occur. Back then, XRP recorded a price rally of 61,000% in 280 days to its current all-time high (ATH) of $3.84. Related Reading: Major Dogecoin Indicator Flashes Bullish, Is It Time To Buy? The crypto analyst seemed confident about this 2017 price surge happening again, stating that the XRP community is having a “deja vu of 2017 by standing weeks in front of the XRP bull run.” Dark Defender added that if a similar run is in place, $18.22, the Fibonacci level of 361.80%, is expected to be the upper target level of XRP’s Wave 3 impulsive move. From the accompanying chart, this projected move to $8 and possibly $18 is expected to occur sometime between October and early 2025. The crypto analyst also provided an analysis of XRP’s current price action and highlighted critical support levels XRP needs to hold above if it is to rise to this unprecedented height. Firstly, he noted that the crypto has been consolidating between $0.3917 and $0.6649. Meanwhile, in the weekly time frame, XRP’s relative strength index (RSI) dips have formed a parallel with price dips. At the same time, the weekly RSI Golden Cross is said to be in place. Dark Defender again highlighted the importance of the $0.6649 price level. He claimed that this level, above the weekly Ichimoku clouds, is a “crucial marker” that must be in place before XRP makes its parabolic run. The analyst also noted that $0.5286 and $0.4623 are critical support levels, which XRP holders should keep an eye on. XRP Could Rally By 5,000% And Rise To $27 Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has also offered a more bullish price prediction for XRP, suggesting that the crypto could enjoy a 5,000% price gain and rise to $27. As a more conservative price prediction, he remarked that XRP could enjoy a 2,400% price gain and climb to $17. He made these predictions based on the Bullish Hammer Candle Stick formations, which he noted have historically produced massive price gains for XRP. Related Reading: Analysts Predict Bitcoin Price Could Crash To $40,000, But There’s Good News This isn’t the first time Egrag has predicted that XRP could rise to as high as $27 in this bull run. In November last year, he mentioned that this price level was a “plausible” target, especially if the crypto repeats its 2017 bull rally. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.55, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
The XRP price has dropped to $0.55 as the crypto token continues to struggle to break above the $0.60 resistance level. This recent drop is due to several factors, including Ripple’s recent token unlocks. Ripple’s Unlocks Causes Price To Drop According to the on-chain analytics platform Whale Alert, Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP tokens ($559 million) from its escrow wallet on September 1. This formed part of the token unlocks, which the crypto firm is known to carry out monthly. These token unlocks were carried out in three transactions, with 500 million XRP, 200 million XRP, and 300 million XRP unlocked from the escrow wallet in these three transactions. Related Reading: Dogecoin Eyes Massive Bull Surge As Metrics Turn Green This sparked a bearish sentiment for the XRP price, causing it to drop. Ripple’s XRP unlocks always create a supply shock, which causes XRP investors to panic and sell off their holdings in fear that the crypto firm may be looking to offload some or all of the tokens that it has unlocked from escrow. This panic among XRP investors comes despite reports that Ripple’s XRP sales do not impact the crypto’s price on exchanges, as they are likely done over the counter. Meanwhile, Ripple once again received criticism from some members of the XRP community following the recent token unlocks, with one of them calling the crypto firm a “scam.” Another reason the XRP price plunged to $0.55 is the current bearish sentiment in the broader crypto market. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $58,000 on September 1, thereby sparking a downtrend for other crypto tokens. The flagship crypto’s price action has remained indecisive, weighing on the fate of other tokens. The XRP price is undoubtedly at risk of dropping lower if Bitcoin fails to establish a bullish trend soon enough and rises above $60,000. Some Positives For The XRP Price Despite the panic caused by Ripple’s XRP unlocks, it is worth mentioning that the crypto firm locked 800 million XRP ($442 million) tokens back in escrow. This is a bullish development for the XRP price as it will help allay the fears of XRP investors who believed that Ripple was looking to sell the 1 billion XRP tokens that were earlier unlocked. Related Reading: The Curse Of September: Is Another Massive Bitcoin Sell-Off Coming? Another positive for XRP and its holders is that the likelihood of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appealing its case against Ripple is dropping as the 60-day window for the Commission to do so draws closer. If the SEC eventually chooses not to appeal, that will provide some bullish momentum for the XRP price, considering how much impact the lawsuit has had on the crypto so far. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.549, down over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto pundit and YouTube influencer Levi Rietveld has projected a bold price target of $10,000 for XRP with his 117,000 followers. His prediction is backed by major developments within Ripple’s adoption and integration into Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Notably, the prediction is influenced by James Wallis, Vice President of CBDCs at Ripple, who has been vocal about Ripple’s ongoing global projects and pilots. In a video that gained significant attention on social media, Levi outlined the potential trajectory for XRP, emphasizing its use in extensive pilot projects and private ledgers across multiple continents—excluding Antarctica. According to Levi, these initiatives could catapult the XRP price to “skyrocket past $10,000 per coin if it all falls into place.” Is $10,000 Per XRP Possible? Levi is referencing interviews with Wallis where he details Ripple’s approach for partnerships with central banks worldwide. He explains that Ripple has been developing private versions of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) tailored to the specific needs of central banks that prioritize privacy and security, leveraging the robust, open-source technology of the public XRPL. Related Reading: XRP Set To Explode? Top Analyst Predicts $33 Rally This strategy allows central banks to utilize a blockchain platform without exposing sensitive transaction data. “The XRP Ledger technology is proven; it has been processing billions of transactions,” Wallis stated, underscoring the reliability and scalability of the technology. Wallis’s unveiled a strategic pivot towards creating a hybrid blockchain system that combines the transparency and efficiency of public blockchains with the privacy controls essential for central bank operations. This bespoke approach has reportedly gained traction, with Ripple working on more than ten active projects across various continents, as Bitcoinist reported. Levi’s enthusiasm for XRP’s potential price explosion is further fueled by recent regulatory developments. He emphasizes significant victories for Ripple against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). “Our recent wins from the SEC prove that well these institutions are going to start being able to use the XRPL how they see fit,” Levi commented. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts 42,263% Breakout For XRP Price To $280, Here’s The Roadmap The pundit linked these regulatory advancements directly to potential massive adoption, implying that as legal barriers diminish, financial institutions could integrate XRPL more broadly and deeply into their operational frameworks. This adoption would enhance transaction efficiencies and reduce costs, making XRP more indispensable as a bridging currency in international trade and finance. The anticipation of XRP’s integration into mainstream financial operations has stirred considerable excitement among the XRP army. The potential application across CBDC projects could have a substantial impact on the token’s price. An extensive adoption could significantly increase demand for XRP, driving up its price. Levi’s projection of XRP reaching $10,000 is predicated on the convergence of technological adoption and regulatory acceptance, which could “skyrocket” its value. However, it is important to note that even in the community, the price target of $10,000 is more than controversial. To reach this price, XRP would have to rise by a whopping 1,700,000%. At press time, XRP traded at $0.50. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
The XRP price, despite struggling over the last few years due to the lawsuit between Ripple and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), continues to enjoy a lot of support from the community. This has materialized in the form of countless bullish predictions that the altcoin will rally and regain its lost glory. […]
The XRP price is trading around the psychological barrier of $0.60 after breaking through earlier in the week. Notably, XRP has exhibited interesting price action amidst wider market uncertainty, although many cryptocurrencies are starting to turn positive. While some market participants are still bearish on XRP, others are looking out for a very bullish trajectory. A crypto analyst has revealed an XRP technical analysis that many bullish proponents can resonate with. According to the analyst, XRP is set to surge to $32 in the coming months. XRP Price Surge Of Epic Proportions Despite the broader volatility, many cryptocurrencies have begun to show signs of recovery, with XRP also a focal point of interest. The XRP analysis in question was posted through the social media platform X by Tylie Eric. This analysis was accompanied by an XRP / U.S. Dollar price chart on the 1D candlestick timeframe. As such, the price chart shows XRP’s price action as far back as late 2020. Central to the analysis is the depiction of a symmetrical triangle pattern, which has been gradually forming since early 2021, when XRP reached a peak trading value of $1.96. Related Reading: Historical Data Suggests Bitcoin Could Rise 1,000%, Here’s Why Over the years, XRP has displayed a series of lower highs and higher lows, which have progressively tightened into a narrower trading range. This pattern is often regarded by technical analysts as a sign of a potential breakout, where the price could move significantly in either direction once there is a breakout. #XRP WELCOME TO MONDAY. I’m a visual individual. Let this chart rekindle the spark. pic.twitter.com/xZXe4cpou1 — Tylie E (@TylieEric) August 19, 2024 Recent price action now puts the XRP price trading at the upper trendline of the triangular pattern. A breakout to the upside would cement a bullish rally for the cryptocurrency. According to the price target noted by Tyler, this breakout could see XRP initially surging to its current all-time high of $3.5 before facing resistance. However, the sheer nature of the bullish breakout would see XRP quickly clearing this resistance and going as high as $32. His timeline for this happening is between now and the end of the year. This projection, if realized, would represent a substantial 5,230% increase from the current price of XRP. What’s Next For XRP? Market sentiment around XRP is currently mixed. Tylie Eric’s forecast is particularly bold, predicting that the XRP price could climb as high as $32 by the end of the year. While surges of such proportions are not new to the crypto XRP, the chances of such an XRP surge happening are very slim at the moment. However, XRP has seen several other bullish predictions of a similar nature in recent weeks, particularly in the wake of the conclusion of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit. Related Reading: Glassnode Report Reveals Why The Bitcoin Price Dropped Below $50,000 On the other hand, a segment of the market remains bearish on XRP.

The long-running legal battle between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple finally concluded following Judge Analisa Torres’ judgment on August 7. With the lawsuit out of the way, crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto predicts that the XRP price could soon surpass its all-time high (ATH). XRP Price Is Set For A “Mega Run” To New ATH CrediBULL Crypto mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that the stage is set for an “inevitable mega run for XRP. The analyst added that XRP hitting a new ATH is a matter of when and not if. XRP’s current ATH stands at $3.84, meaning the crypto token could rise above this price level soon. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin Bottom Is Not In, Will Price Crash Below $50,000 Again? Before now, crypto analysts like RLinda had highlighted the conclusion of the case between the SEC and Ripple as one of the catalysts that could spark a massive rally for XRP. She asserted that this event would give XRP a “second life” to achieve a successful breakout above critical resistance levels. Crypto analyst JackTheRippler predicted that XRP would rise to as high as $100 once the case between the SEC and Rippled ended. Crypto analyst Common Sense Crypto also alluded to the lawsuit while outlining why XRP can reach $100. The analyst suggested that the conclusion of the case will lead to the launch of a Spot XRP ETF, which can spark such a parabolic rally for XRP. This lawsuit began in December 2020 and is believed to have hindered XRP’s growth, especially during the 2021 bull run when the crypto token failed to record significant gains or even close to breaking its ATH. However, that looks set to change as Judge Torres’ judgment has ended the lawsuit, at least for now, with an appeal still a possibility. Judge Torres declared a $125 million penalty against Ripple for violating securities laws and an injunction against future violations. However, the $125 million is way below the almost $2 billion fine the SEC initially proposed. The court also ruled that the SEC cannot bar Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) sales. XRP Is Just Getting Started Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto stated that XRP’s current rally following the court’s ruling is just getting started while urging market participants to get ready for the “real fun.” Whatever happens, XRP holders will hope that the excitement about the end of the lawsuit can help send XRP above $1 in the short term. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bounces Off Key Support Following Crash Below $0.1 Such a move will undoubtedly boost the confidence of these investors that XRP can reach the projected heights that these analysts say it will attain. It is worth mentioning that XRP failed to break the $1 resistance when Judge Torres declared last year that the crypto token wasn’t a security. As such, XRP’s price action will be one to watch. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.60, up over 18% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Doctor Magic (@Doctor_Magic_) has outlined three reasons for investors to consider buying XRP now. In a series of posts on the X, Doctor Magic detailed the dynamics and data points positioning XRP as a potentially lucrative investment in the current state of the market. #1 Relative Strength Of XRP The crypto analyst highlights the XRP price relative to Bitcoin (BTC) and its resilience in the broader market. “XRP’s strength against BTC and across the board is notable and should not be ignored at this point. When markets turn up again (soon) the pump on XRP will be violent!” This analysis is based on a chart that plots the market cap dominance of as a ratio against BTC and the entire crypto market on a weekly timeframe. The dominance percentage is a critical metric, serving as an indicator of market capitalization relative to BTC, and thus reflects relative investment flows and market preferences. From 2016 to 2021, XRP’s dominance displayed a significant downward trend, suggesting a period during which market preference leaned heavily towards Bitcoin. However, beginning in 2022, this trend leveled off, indicating a potential stabilization or bottoming relative to Bitcoin. This phase suggests that XRP may have found a floor in terms of its market cap dominance, setting the stage for a possible reversal. Related Reading: XRP Ledger Sees Sharp Decline In Major Metric That Threatens To Send XRP Price To $0.2 A key support level for XRP/BTC is identified at 0.00000750 by the analyst. This level has been tested multiple times without a decisive break, establishing it as a critical floor where market sentiment has consistently supported the price relative to BTC. In 2024, following a bounce off this support area, there was a noticeable increase in dominance, suggesting growing investor confidence in its potential for a recovery. In terms of dominance over the entire crypto market (XRP.D), the metric currently stands at 1.47%. After touching down in the support zone ranging from 1.02% to 1.05%, XRP.D also experienced an uptick, further underscoring the renewed market interest and potential bullish sentiment. #2 Recovery Post-Dump With Stable Open Interest Doctor Magic also highlights a notable aspect of the market behavior — its swift recovery from yesterday’s price crash without any increase in open interest (OI). “XRP has now retraced the whole yesterday dump with zero OI added. ZERO. And negative funding,” remarked Doctor Magic. Related Reading: Why XRP Price Won’t Skyrocket After Ripple-SEC Ruling: Crypto Pundit This recovery pattern is significant as it implies the rebound was not fueled by a surge in speculative trading or new positions being opened, but rather by solid buying interest, likely from investors confident in fundamentals or long-term potential. #3 Support From Historical Open Interest Level Finally, the crypto analyst points to the current levels of Open Interest (OI) for XRP, which aligns with a historical baseline that has consistently marked significant market tops and bottoms over the past four years. “OI on XRP at the baseline [blue line] that has marked every top and every bottom the last 4 years,” Doctor Magic notes. This observation suggests that current OI levels are at a critical juncture, indicative of potential turning points in the market. Historically, when OI reaches these levels, it has preceded major price movements. At press time, XRP traded at $0.5030. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

As the XRP lawsuit between Ripple Labs and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) inches closer to a ruling on remedies – the final ruling on district court level – the crypto community is abuzz with speculation about the potential repercussions for the XRP price. Notably, Rachelle Renee, a popular crypto pundit, has voiced a dissenting perspective via X, arguing that the forthcoming Ripple-SEC ruling will not significantly impact the price of XRP, contrary to the expectations of many investors. How Will The XRP Price React? Renee’s analysis starts with a sobering view on the nature of the legal resolution itself, which will penalize Ripple. “It is simply the details on how Ripple will be punished for the few minor indiscretions committed,” Renee explained. She expressed skepticism about the potential for this legal closure to serve as a catalyst for a substantial price increase of XRP. According to Renee, the pivotal moment for a possible price surge was when regulatory clarity was initially provided by Judge Torres in July last year, a milestone that has already been passed without a long lasting effect. “The point at which clarity was decided would have been the time to see it move upward in a big way. It did not,” Renee stated. Related Reading: XRP Price Breaks Out Of 6-Year Triangle, But Is A Rally To $1 Possible? She further elucidated that institutional investors, who might be considered a primary driver for such a surge, only required confirmation that it was legally permissible to buy, hold, and utilize XRP. This clearance has already been granted. Therefore, the details of how Ripple might be reprimanded for early sales of XRP are unlikely to sway their investment strategies: “Institutions only needed to hear it was legal now to buy, hold and use. That happened. They do not need to hear or if #ripple will be punished for a few early sales of XRP.” Renee concluded, “I hate to be the one to say it. But I do not think the final Ripple/SEC/Torres event will do anything for the price of XRP. The institutions that might drive a significant price increase already know it’s legal to engage with XRP, and the specifics of Ripple’s punishment are unlikely to influence their decisions further.” She further conceded that while a minor uptick in the XRP price could occur following the resolution, she firmly believes that “this will not be the moon shot” many are hoping for. Instead, Renee suggested that significant market movements for XRP would more likely result from new developments that demonstrate XRP’s utility and adoption by major global players, such as banks and financial institutions. Related Reading: XRP Goes To All-Time High If This Resistance Breaks: Crypto Analyst Contrasting with Renee’s tempered expectations, Bas van Gestel, another voice from the XRP community, presented a more bullish outlook. Van Gestel argued that the end of the Ripple-SEC case would catalyze a major surge in XRP’s price due to enhanced regulatory clarity attracting more investors, institutional adoption by major banks, and global partnerships that would broaden the currency’s use cases. Responding to van Gestel’s optimism, Renee reiterated her point that much of what was anticipated to drive a price surge has already occurred, with regulatory clarity being established over a year ago. She posed critical questions about the timing of the institutional adoption and significant global announcements that van Gestel cited as catalysts, suggesting that while these developments are possible and could be impactful, they have yet to materialize in a way that affects the XRP price meaningfully. “Since regulatory clarity was provided over a year ago, why have we not seen big announcements. I am a believer these announcements will come. But not as part of the final Torres case close,” Renee claims. At press time, XRP traded at $0.5632.

XRP is one of the top performers, looking at the performance over the last three weeks. After sinking below $0.40 in early July, the coin has rebounded sharply, adding 60%. As the coin outperforms leading altcoins like Solana and Ethereum, for example, there could be more room for growth. Is XRP Ready For $150? Analyst Thinks So From the daily chart, XRP is trending above key reaction levels. Notably, the close above $0.55 (now key support) reversed losses posted in mid-April. Additionally, the confirmation of recent gains and the close above $0.62 earlier today could spur demand, extending gains toward $0.74 and eventually $1. Related Reading: Analyst Says ETH Price Will Struggle As Spot Ethereum ETFs Expectations Crash As optimism reigns, one analyst on X thinks the coin is preparing for sharp gains in the coming weeks and months. Sharing a price chart, the analyst said XRP is breaking out from the local resistance and the multi-year resistance trend line. From his analysis, the trader said XRP just broke from a “massive, 2,351 days resisting trend.” The breakout from the bull flag anchored at the swing high, when prices rose to all-time highs of over $3.20, and the swing low, $0.16, when the coin plunged to $0.16 in 2021, is crucial. In the analyst’s estimation, XRP is now preparing for more gains that could propel the coin to $150 for an over “21,000% climb” from spot rates. Settlement Of United States Versus SEC Case Crucial It remains to be seen how prices will behave going forward. However, one of the key drivers of demand in the coming days and weeks will be the outcome of the ongoing case pitting Ripple and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Despite the partial win in July 2023, the regulator wants Ripple to pay a huge penalty of $2 billion. However, things are evolving fast, with Ripple lawyers defending that XRP is not an unregistered security as the regulator alleged. The United States SEC is being accused of regulation by enforcement, forcing crypto innovation elsewhere. During the last Bitcoin conference, former President Donald Trump said if he took over, his administration would fire Gary Gensler, the current head of the Commission. Trump said his plan would be to make America the leader in crypto and even establish a BTC reserve. Related Reading: Render Continues To Flash Red In All Timeframes – What’s Going On? Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, has been critical of the United States SEC.

XRP has emerged as a standout performer among the top-100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization today, recording a substantial 7% increase over the past 24 hours. This surge in XRP’s price occurs amidst swirling speculations of a forthcoming settlement or remedies ruling in the Ripple-SEC case. Amid these developments, XRP is dominating discussions on X (formerly Twitter), where a flurry of optimistic posts paint a bullish scenario for the cryptocurrency. Among the vocal proponents contributing to this positive outlook is crypto analyst Doctor Magic (@Doctor_Magic_), who shared several different time frame analyses for XRP. Short-Term Outlook For XRP (4-Hour Chart) The first chart posted by the crypto analyst shows the XRP/USD trading pair on a 4-hour time frame. The chart highlights the currently most crucial resistance zone (in red) just above the $0.70 mark. This resistance level is critical, as Doctor Magic suggests that surpassing this could pivot XRP towards new all-time highs (ATHs). Related Reading: XRP Price Jumps As Ripple Leadership Blasts SEC’s ‘Hypocritical’ Crypto Regulation However, he warns of potential short-term (LTF) rejections despite the higher time frame (HTF) indicators appearing bullish, advising traders to exercise caution with leverage long positions in this zone. “XRP most heavy resistance, get above that and we go for ATHs. Note that even though HTF XRP is primed on LTF this resistance could cause a LTF rejection, wouldn’t jump into leverage longs here.” The chart shows an uptrend line that XRP has successfully maintained, suggesting a strong bullish momentum. The focal point is the resistance zone above $0.70, which if breached, could potentially lead to higher price levels. The first target could be the price level above $0.90 which was last seen after the summary judgment by Analisa Torres on July 13 last year. A crucial element in Doctor Magic’s analysis is the breakout observed in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI demonstrates a clear upward breach of its previous trendline, signaling robust momentum. Currently at 67, the RSI is approaching the overbought threshold, which could suggest some notably bullish days ahead for XRP’s price action if the cryptocurrency runs red hot. Related Reading: XRP Price Poised For ‘Ultimate Breakout’ With $18 Price Target: Crypto Analyst Notably, the $0.70 zone as the key resistance area aligns with the Bollinger Bands analysis in the monthly chart. XRP surged above the middle band with the latest move and is now on the verge of breaking the upper band. “Today we confirm the breakout on monthly RSI. XRP is less than 10% to trigger volatility to come back which is at all time lows, $0.7 is the area to watch,” Doctor Magic explained. Long-Term Prediction For XRP (Weekly Chart) With regards to the higher time frames, Doctor Magic believes that it is too early to predict the cycle top price. Via X, he wrote, “Many of you are asking for my target on XRP, the answer is it depends. If I am right and alts lead the next leg up it will be the nail in the coffin for ‘it’s 2017 again’ and I will be looking for two tops, the second one will be determined by the first one.” The chart shared by the crypto analyst highlights several key Fibonacci retracement levels derived from XRP’s historical price movements, which could serve as critical points for potential reversals or continuation of trends. These include the 0.618 Fibonacci level at approximately $0.91, indicating a moderate resistance point. The 0.786 level sits at around $1.61, serving as a stronger psychological and technical barrier. The parity level or the 1 Fibonacci level is set at $3.31, which marked the April 2021 all-time high. Beyond this, the analysis extends into Fibonacci extension territory, with the 1.272 level at about $8.29, and the 1.414 level at roughly $13.37. The most notable and perhaps ambitious target is the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level, which is placed at approximately $26.60. The analyst concluded, “My point is it’s too soon to speak about final target, need more data for that and I will update when its time. For the impatient of you my best guess is we see double digits XRP and that $26.5 will be tagged.” At press time, XRP traded at $0.6539. Featured image created with DALL·E, chart from TradingView.com
The XRP price has climbed by over 4% within the last 24 hours, extending its bullish trend observed over the past month. This increase propelled the token to a four-month peak of $0.6377 early on Tuesday, outperforming the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the market. However, this recent surge in value coincides with strong criticism from key Ripple executives, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse and the company’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, directed at the leadership of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Ripple’s Response To Amendments In Binance Lawsuit As Bitcoinist reported early Tuesday, the SEC amended its complaint against the world’s largest exchange, Binance, specifically adjusting the classification of 10 cryptocurrencies, such as Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC), and Cosmos (ATOM), that were initially deemed as “securities.” Related Reading: Research Firm Predicts Bitcoin Game Theory In Global Adoption Race Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, responded to this development by emphasizing the SEC’s perceived “hypocrisy” in the classification of crypto tokens and its management of crypto regulations over the past year under the guidance of Chair Gary Gensler. Garlinghouse criticized the SEC for what he sees as a lack of clarity in the consistent application of rules, suggesting possible political agendas or questionable litigation tactics. “Definitely not faithful allegiance to the law,” Garlinghouse said. Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s CLO, also weighed in on the situation, pointing out apparent inconsistencies between the lawsuits involving Binance and the US-based crypto exchange Coinbase, both initiated around the same period in the last quarter of 2023. Alderoty highlighted the SEC’s response to judicial scrutiny in the Binance case compared to its stance in the Coinbase lawsuit, particularly regarding the classification of tokens, in which twelve cryptocurrencies, most of which were also included in the Binance case, were also deemed securities. Analyst Forecasts Bullish Breakout For XRP Price Despite XRP not being implicated in the recent SEC decision, its price continues to surge following a 33% uptrend over the past month. The sustained momentum fueled by bullish investors suggests a potential push towards the $1 threshold. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez notes that XRP’s price has been consolidating within a symmetrical triangle pattern for six years. Martinez anticipates a bullish breakout if XRP surpasses the $0.90 mark, especially in light of the ongoing recovery from a significant dip that drove the token to a 17-month low of $0.3825 on July 5.

The key will be to watch the $0.5353 level, where the token’s 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) currently resides, which could act as a notable support in the scenario of a further decline following Ripple’s token release.

Crypto analyst Javon Marks has reaffirmed his ultra-bullish prediction for XRP in his latest analysis. The analyst explained why the crypto token will still rise to as high as $150 in this bull run. Why XRP Is Still On Course To Reach $150 Marks mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that XRP looks right on the brink of a “massive bullish breakout,” having recently tested one. He claimed that XRP could successfully achieve this bullish breakout with such continued market strength. He added that this successful breakout and a Full Logarithmic Follow-Through would allow the crypto token to enjoy a price rally of over 41,400% and reach and even climb above $150. Related Reading: Don’t Get Shaken Out, Analyst Says Bitcoin And Altcoins Rally Is Just Starting Marks has continued to predict that XRP can reach such heights for a while based on his Full Logarithmic Follow-Through analysis. Before now, he mentioned that XRP could rise to as high as $200 and noted that such a parabolic rally was indeed possible for the crypto token since it has done it before during the 2017 bull run. Marks has also received support from other analysts like CryptoBull, who have predicted that XRP will rise to triple digits. CryptoBull once predicted that the crypto token could rise to $154 based on an ascending broadening wedge, which he expects XRP to break out from soon enough. Crypto analyst JackTheRippler also predicted that XRP will rise to triple digits when the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) lawsuit against Ripple ends. In a more recent analysis, JackTheRippler asserted that a new all-time high (ATH) was on the horizon. He stated that XRP’s multi-year bullish pattern is ending and suggested that it won’t be long before the crypto token enjoys that rally that will see it surpass its current ATH. The crypto analyst is also bullish on XRP because he believes the case between the SEC and Ripple is about to end. About To Break Out Of Six-Year Consolidation Triangle Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto also recently offered a bullish narrative for XRP, stating that the crypto token is about to break out of the six-year consolidation triangle. The analyst claimed the breakout will be “massive,” followed by a “long sustained enormous rally.” He hinted at his plans to invest in XRP, remarking that he won’t be sidelined for the upcoming move. Mikybull Crypto previously mentioned that XRP might replicate its 2017 rally, considering its current price action path. He stated that the crypto token could rise above $4 if it follows a similar path to 2017. Related Reading: Polygon Network Active Addresses Just Hit A New Yearly High, But Why Is MATIC Price Down? Meanwhile, crypto analyst Alex Clay also echoed a sentiment similar to Mikybull Crypto, stating that XRP is breaking out of a symmetrical triangle that it has been consolidating inside for about 2,275 days. The analyst expects XRP to rise to between $1.2 and $1.5 in the mid-term, while he predicts that the crypto token could rise to $3 in the long term.

Crypto analyst Dark Defender has shared an extremely bullish technical analysis on XRP via X, suggesting a bullish reversal and the possibility of “God Candles.” The analysis uses a variety of technical indicators and chart patterns to project an optimistic outlook for XRP. XRP Price Poised For ‘God Candles’? The core of Dark Defender’s (@DefendDark) analysis is focused at two indicators which suggest a change of trend. The first one is the breakout above a descending trendline. This move is critical as it means that XRP eliminated its first key resistance and suggests a potential reversal from the downward trend which started in mid-March. It is particularly noteworthy as it indicates a shift in market sentiment from bearish to bullish. Supporting this trend reversal is the Fisher Transform indicator, which is crucial for identifying major price reversals. The Fisher Transform uses price data to produce a Gaussian normal distribution to signal potential changes in market direction. Related Reading: XRP Resilience Sparks Further Gains As Price Surpasses $0.466 Level On the weekly chart, a ‘Golden Cross’ is visible where the faster line of the Fisher Transform crosses above the slower line, typically a bullish signal in market analysis. This event is essential as it provides confirmation of the trend reversal signaled by the breakout from the descending trendline. “Ladies & gentlemen, XRP had the highly bullish Reversal approval for the Fisher Indicator weekly. Initial resistance instantly broke at $0.4623!” the crypto analyst remarked. However, it’s important to note that the digital asset is still navigating below the Ichimoku Cloud, indicating that resistance still lies ahead. The Ichimoku Cloud is a comprehensive indicator that provides insight into the momentum and future areas of support and resistance. Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes Colossal 280% Breakout Amid CME Group Partnership While the breakout from the descending trendline and the bullish Fisher Transform signal are promising, the price remaining below the Cloud suggests that XRP has yet to clear all hurdles and establish a stronger bullish presence. Additionally, the chart also details several key Fibonacci levels that are critical for understanding the next potential resistance and support zones. After breaking the initial resistance at $0.4623, XRP is currently testing the interim Fibonacci level at $0.5286. Dark Defender emphasizes the significance of the price closing above this level to sustain the bullish momentum: “Our interim Fibonacci Level, $0.5286, is being tested. It would be great to close this week’s candle above $0.53.” Notably, the XRP price didn’t manage to close the week above this price. Despite that, XRP is currently continuing the upward trend, trading above $0.53 today. The next resistance point to level is at $0.6044. Surpassing this level could lead to the creation of multiple “God Candles,” suggesting a rapid and sustained increase in price. Dark Defender remarked, “Next week, we will test the secondary mid-level resistance of $0.6044. It’s crucial not to underestimate the master fundamental level for XRP, which is $0.6649. Above it, we can expect multiple God Candles, which will open the path to Heaven’s Stairway.” At press time, XRP traded at $0.53494. Featured image created with DALL·E, chart from TradingView.com
XRP has significantly lagged behind Bitcoin in 2024, but a recent Mt. Gox- and German government-led sell-off in the BTC market may spark renewed interest in the altcoin.
The XRP price has outperformed its peers among the top ten largest cryptocurrencies on the market, experiencing a significant surge of 13.5% in the past week alone after experiencing a sustained decline from its yearly high of $0.745 in March. With an eye on a key Fibonacci level, the eighth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, currently valued at $26 billion, is poised for a potential price explosion that could send the XRP price to new yearly highs, coupled with a bullish announcement surrounding the token’s rise since Thursday. XRP Becomes Bridge Asset In $1.2 Trillion Market CoinGecko data shows a notable increase of 50% in trading volume over the past few days, demonstrating the renewed bullish sentiment surrounding the XRP price, along with a significant collaboration announcement with the world’s largest derivatives marketplace, CME Group, which has further strengthened XRP’s position in the market. Related Reading: Litecoin Is A Hub Of Whales: Over $2.85 Billion Of $100,000 Transactions Processed On Thursday, CME Group made a major announcement, revealing that starting July 29, the CME and XRP dollar reference rates and real-time indices will be included in its suite of benchmarks, positioning the token as a bridge asset in a market worth approximately $1.2 trillion. The XRP price has benefited from this announcement, as transparent pricing information is likely to increase liquidity, making it easier for investors to buy and sell XRP tokens, resulting in the current price surge of 4% witnessed in the 24-hour time frame. Additionally, this collaboration may open new doors for creating financial products, such as futures and options based on XRP, providing holders with additional ways to manage risks and maximize their investments. Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of blockchain payments company Ripple, which is closely associated with XRP, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, emphasizing the importance of having a trusted benchmark reference rate as a critical step in adopting institutional crypto products. Garlinghouse praised the joint effort between CME Group and CFBenchmarks to create an XRP index, noting that the market has validated the need for such initiatives. Ripple’s CEO stated: First step towards institutional crypto products is to have a trusted benchmark reference rate. Nice to see CME Group and CF Benchmarks collaborate on this for an XRP index. The market has spoken. XRP Price Eyes $1.8 In addition to the news, technical analysis points to further upside for the XRP price if certain conditions are met. Crypto analyst Dark Defender recently noted in a social media post that XRP is testing the $0.462 Fibonacci level, which is key to the token’s prospects and expectations for the continuation of the uptrend. The analyst also spotted two bullish divergences in the price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) numbers as they made higher lows on the weekly XRP/USD chart. This led Dark Defender to believe that if the XRP price breaks and consolidates above this level from today until Sunday, the cryptocurrency could begin a journey towards the $1.88 level, representing a 288% price increase from the current trading level of $0.465.
