Is XRP about to break free? Whale buying frenzy signals price surge to $4!

by

Key point:

  • The whales have spoken – XRP is on their radar, sending ripples through the market.

Once upon a time, in a land of altcoins, XRP (XRP) managed to escape its long-term range prison on Friday, rocketing up to an impressive $3.03 by Monday. But, alas, as is the nature of these wild markets, some profits were pocketed as the price retreated. Shocking, right? 😲

But hold your horses, because not everyone’s crying over spilled XRP! In fact, analysts are grinning ear to ear, with veteran trader Peter Brandt claiming that XRP is strutting around with a “highly rare continuation compound fulcrum” pattern—whatever that means—on its chart. But hey, sounds fancy enough to think it might skyrocket to $4.47. 🚀

Meanwhile, the whales have been splashing around like there’s no tomorrow. According to Santiment, an on-chain analytics platform (I bet you didn’t know that existed), whale wallets holding over 1 million XRP hit a record-breaking 2,743 on Friday. If this doesn’t scream “something big is coming,” I don’t know what does. 🐋💰

But the big question remains: will this whale frenzy lead to a price explosion or will the crypto gods laugh in our faces? To answer that, let’s dive into the charts and see if we can read the future—or at least make some educated guesses.

XRP price prediction

Here’s the thing—XRP faced a little resistance at $3 (because why make things easy?), but it’s expected to find support at $2.65. You know, just in case you were wondering if it was going to crash into oblivion. 🙄

If XRP manages to bounce back from the $2.65 level, we could see it charging upwards to $3.40. But don’t get too excited, because sellers will be lurking like hawks at $3.40, ready to shut that party down. Still, if the bulls are feeling particularly feisty, there’s a chance the rally could break through to $4. I mean, who’s stopping them? 🤷‍♂️

But, if the price plunges below the 20-day exponential moving average ($2.49), then let’s just say we’ll be stuck in a range-bound limbo between $2 and $3. Oh, the drama! 😬

Now, for those of you glued to the 4-hour chart (because who isn’t?), the pair is hanging on to the 20-EMA for dear life. But there’s a minor red flag: the RSI is showing a negative divergence, which means momentum is slowing down. Could this be the beginning of the end? Or just a minor setback? 🤔

On the other hand, if XRP bounces off the 20-EMA like a true champion, we could see the bulls charging again. If they manage to break the $3 barrier, get ready for a jump to $3.40. This is where it gets interesting—will the bulls triumph or will the bears send us into another range-bound nightmare? Stay tuned. 👀
