In a chart shared by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, XRP has broken out of a descending channel commonly identified as a “bull flag,” signaling a potential continuation of its recent upward trend. The move sets the stage for a push toward $4.40, based on Fibonacci extension levels. XRP Price Eyes $4.40 According to the two‐hour Binance chart provided, XRP initially rallied from roughly $2.3374 on January 13 to a local high of $3.3509 by January 17, marking a swift rise that established the so‐called flagpole. After reaching this local high at $3.3509, the price shifted into a consolidation phase, moving within a downward‐sloping channel from January 17 through January 19 and briefly dipping below the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level at $3.1021 before rebounding. The breakout above the channel’s upper boundary, which transpired around $3.20 on January 20, is seen as a classic confirmation of a bull flag. A bull flag pattern comprises two key segments: the rapid, nearly vertical ascent (flagpole) and the subsequent, more gradual consolidation (flag). When an asset’s price closes decisively above the upper trendline of the flag, traders generally interpret it as a signal that the prior uptrend is likely to resume.

In this specific setup, the distance of the flagpole is measured from the swing low at $2.3374 to the swing high at $3.3509, which yields a gain of about $1.01. Analysts then add that distance to the breakout level near $3.20 to approximate a price target in the $4.20 region. Martinez’s chart, however, also includes Fibonacci extensions that provide more granular potential targets, anchored at 0% ($2.3374) and 1 ($3.3509). These extensions appear at 1.272 ($3.6958), 1.414 ($3.8889), 1.618 ($4.1863), and 1.786 ($4.4475). The analyst cites $4.40 as the primary bullish objective, aligning closely with the 1.786 extension level. Related Reading: XRP Breaks Out Of Bullish Flag Pattern – $4 Target In Sight As per Martinez’s chart, XRP traded near $3.29, hovering just below the local high at $3.3509. If the cryptocurrency can hold above the breakout zone and ultimately surpass $3.3509, the chart’s technicals suggest a potential climb toward successive extension levels in the high $3 range and ultimately toward $4.40. The significance of the $4.40 target lies in its convergence of Fibonacci analysis with the classic bull flag projected move, giving traders a clear upside marker to watch for continued momentum. While short‐term fluctuations are always possible in volatile crypto markets, the breakout from the flag consolidation has offered a notably bullish signal, contingent on XRP’s ability to maintain support around $3.20 and build enough volume to breach the $3.3509 threshold. Notably, XRP couldn’t defend the breakout. At press time, XRP fell back into the channel and traded at $3.06. Thus, XRP bulls need to step up one more time to revalidate the scenario.

As the new crypto-friendly administration takes office, crypto investors expect a likely volatile market. However, some analyst shared their bullish predictions as Bitcoin (BTC) hit its latest all-time high (ATH) of $109,000. Related Reading: $24 XRP Prediction: Bitcoin Maxi Calls It Risky But Possible Bitcoin Hits New ATH On Inauguration Day Last week, Bitcoin surged past the $100,000 barrier for the first time in over ten days amid the bullish expectations of January 20. The flagship crypto continued consolidating above this key level over the weekend, fueled by US President Donald Trump’s latest crypto moves. On Friday, the incoming US President surprised the crypto industry by launching his official TRUMP memecoin. The token saw a massive surge, hitting a $75 all-time high (ATH) and a market capitalization of $15 billion but facing significant backlash from the crypto community. As the token eclipsed the market, Bitcoin turned the key $102,000 resistance level as a support zone, propelling the price to a one-month high of $106,000. However, the market saw a 6% correction on Sunday afternoon after the then-incoming First Lady launched her memecoin, MELANIA. BTC dropped below the $100,000 mark before quickly recovering, closing the week near the recently reclaimed level. Ahead of Trump’s inauguration, Bitcoin’s price jumped 8.5% to its new all-time high of $109,588. Daan Crypto Trades noted BTC’s good start to the week after it “opened up with a small CME gap today but closed that straight away and went straight to new all-time highs,” adding that it will be an interesting week. Daan also signaled that today would likely be a “very volatile day in both directions” for the market but advised investors to “focus on what you expect for Q1 and not the next day.” BTC Price To Continue Soaring? Crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa suggested that BTC’s price could see short-term volatility depending on Trump’s comments during his Inauguration speech. “If a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is announced, I think BTC puts in a god candle, and everything sends,” he stated, adding that a lack of mention could start a momentary pullback. Despite the potential short-term shakeouts, some analysts highlighted that Bitcoin is entering a new price discovery phase. Rekt Capital stated, “History suggests this first Price Discovery Correction is now over.” According to the analyst, the December retrace was part of BTC’s “post-halving Parabolic Upside Phase.” Bitcoin enters a parabolic period that lasts around 300 days, each cycle after every Halving event, with the first price correction historically beginning between Weeks 6 and 8 of each parabolic phase. Related Reading: Solana Bulls Counter Bearish Pressure To Keep Price Above $240 After the recent price action, the analyst announced the second Price Discovery Uptrend lies ahead. He explained that “Bitcoin is now trying to breakout from its $101k-$106k range Daily Close above the $106k Range High resistance followed by a post-breakout retest would confirm the breakout and bring Bitcoin one step closer to additional Price Discovery.” Analyst Crypto Jelle highlighted BTC’s multi-year cup and handle pattern, which “looks like Bitcoin wants to get it over with.” The analyst suggested that the flagship crypto won’t “be waiting much longer,” adding that the long-term target remains $140,000. As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $104,564, a 1% drop in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
