XRP Poised for Breakout as Bullish Momentum Builds
XRP is currently tightening into a narrowing technical structure, signaling a potential major move. Analysts are closely watching the apex of this formation, with most expecting a breakout that could unlock further upside. Ali Martinez notes a triangle pattern tightening, with a close above $1.53 on the 4-hour chart confirming a bullish breakout and targeting $1.62 next. Celal Kucuker agrees, placing the odds of an upside breakout at 65%-70%, though his momentum indicators show mixed signals.
While whale activity has been subdued recently, smaller investors have been accumulating XRP for seven consecutive days. CryptoQuant’s CW highlights this accumulation phase as a key factor, suggesting the next significant price move could follow its conclusion. Meanwhile, Dark Defender presents a long-term scenario based on Elliott Wave patterns, predicting targets as high as $4.10, $7.07, and even $36.76, though these seem ambitious given the current resistance at $1.51-$1.53.
Bird also emphasizes that XRP is testing a major decision point, with resistance around $1.51-$1.53. Despite recent FUD, the majority of analysts believe the upside potential is higher. The strengthening MACD and EMA trends suggest growing bullish momentum, though the RSI remains below 50, indicating the asset has not yet entered a strong bullish zone.
