XRP could rise by 40% soon. After reaching about $2.9 in December, XRP’s price has been stuck in a pattern that traders call a “descending triangle.”
This is a chart shape that usually leads to a big change, and this time, it seems like it will be a positive one. If XRP goes up and gets past the upper trendline, it might keep rising from November when it was only $0.50.
According to Omkar Godbole from CoinDesk, “XRP could surge 40% or more if prices top the declining upper trendline, signalling a resumption of the preceding bull run.” But, he warns, if the price drops below $2.00, all bets are off.
XRP is also getting a lot of love on social media. Recent report from Sentiment tracker on wednesday showed that there’s more buzz around XRP than Bitcoin or Ethereum right now, with people getting more excited about the coin. It seems like everyone’s got their eyes on it, and that’s pushing its price higher.
A big reason for XRP’s rise is called the “Trump Effect.” Since Trump was elected, XRP has increased by more than 300%. Many people believe this is due to hope for a better environment for cryptocurrencies. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse thinks the new government will end the “regulatory limbo” that has been stopping crypto in the U.S. for many years.
Moreover, Ripple is already seeing some of the effects from it. The company has done more U.S. deals in the last six weeks of 2024 than it did in the prior six months. Ripple President Monica Long even suggested that an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) might be on its way due to the change in rules, benefiting the coin.
With Gary Gensler, the former SEC chair who was not friendly toward crypto, no longer at the helm, people feel more hopeful about the future of XRP.
