XRP Breakout: Could It Skyrocket To $100? Analysts Share Their Predictions

Spread the love

Crypto market participants are paying attention to XRP. There has been a continuous bounce between trend lines, forming what analysts call a symmetrical triangle pattern. As a result of a pattern traced as far back as 2018, this digital asset could be set for a big move — but how?

From eagle-eyed market sentinels who predict that XRP may soon break out to those who are walking on eggshells, the crypto community is overrun with predictions. The pattern shows a fight between the buyers and sellers, which may suggest it is poised to explode up—or crash down—in value once that fight concludes.

XRP Technical Indicators: A Mixed Bag

The price of XRP has been steadily at the $0.57 mark, considered to be a key support level. Historically, this level has held pretty well and kept the coin from dipping too low.

Recently, trading volume picked up, which is more often than not a sign that something big is brewing. If XRP breaks above the triangle’s upper trend line, then control might be taken over by the bulls, pushing up the price to new highs.

While some, like analyst Xaif.03, expect a rise to $100, that is a bit far-fetching at this point without more concrete evidence. But then, these people can see better than ordinary souls.

Yet all isn’t rosy. The Relative Strength Index comes in at 54, right smack in the middle of the scale. This reading does indicate that neither an oversold nor overbought market condition exists, therefore keeping the door open to either a rally or more consolidation.

The Bullish Case For XRP

Notwithstanding some level of uncertainty involved, some analysts still stand on the bullish side. Noted crypto space figure Alan Santana believes that XRP is currently undergoing an accumulation phase. The token, according to him, follows a bear market with such a phase before drastically spiking in price exponentially.

Based on his prognosis, if the XRP 2022 bear market is followed by its recovery year in 2023, it paves the way for accumulation in 2024. This happened once; thus, we might then expect a strong bull run for XRP in 2024, or the year after that. Of course, crypto markets are unpredictable, and past performance does not always warranty results in the future.


Skeptics And The Path Forward

Not everyone, however, is convinced that XRP is in the midst of a breakout. Some analysts have cautioned that while the symmetrical triangle pattern is powerful, it doesn’t always work. The market could easily move sideways for months, which could frustrate traders.

Another analyst, Cryptorphic has also reiterated some of the resistance levels that the altcoin need to break out so as not fall further down in value. He noted the support around $0.41-$0.42 has had a pretty solid hold, however without significant news stacking in favor of XRP working higher will be difficult to come by at this time.
