Despite the recent price increase experienced by the XRP community, there continues to be an expectation for a significant breakout. After years of consolidation, there is potential for the price to surpass the $1 level once again. The current situation has emerged while Ripple, the issuer of XRP, is engaged in an ongoing legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Analyst’s Prediction for XRP
In addition, Egrag Crypto, noted for his remarks on the XRP side, pointed out historical price movements suggesting that XRP could be on the verge of an upward price movement, potentially pushing the price above $1.
In a post shared on April 20th by Egrag, it was emphasized that XRP’s strength is approaching a historical support line at the $0.50 level, drawing parallels with patterns observed in 2017 and 2021.
According to the expert, the existing support level could be a turning point for XRP’s rise, and the token has a successful history of recording fast and strong price increases in such situations.
Critical Levels for XRP
Should the scenario mentioned by the analyst occur, XRP could potentially reach Fibonacci levels between $1.2 and $1.6, which are considered notable levels.
Historically, XRP has demonstrated rapid and strong pumps. Could we witness a similar movement soon? Potential targets start from Fib levels 1.272, 1.414, and 1.618.
For XRP to reach its current value, it is necessary to maintain the token price above the critical support point of $0.50, which exists today. This level could also potentially allow the token to surpass a consolidation above $0.70.
