As a seasoned researcher with extensive experience in the dynamic world of digital assets, I find myself intrigued by the recent surge in XRP‘s performance. Having closely followed the crypto market for several years, I have witnessed numerous ups and downs, but the current bullish trend of XRP is particularly captivating.
As an analyst, I’m observing the performance of XRP, the third-largest digital asset by market capitalization. In the past 24 hours, it has shown a remarkable increase of 7.35%, bouncing back from a daily low of $2.34 to reach a high of $2.59. At the moment, XRP is trading at approximately $2.57 with a market capitalization of around $147.07 billion. This surge in price can be attributed to a broader market recovery, as Bitcoin (BTC) has set a new all-time high at $107K.
In a recent post on social media platform X (previously Twitter), well-known analyst Ali Martinez expressed optimism regarding XRP’s bullish prospects, suggesting it could reach $4 in value. It’s worth mentioning that the maximum price ever reached by an XRP token was $3.84, achieved nearly seven years ago. In 2021, this digital currency broke its long-standing downtrend and began moving upwards again after several years of bearish performance.
Martinez emphasized that if XRP manages to surpass the significant barrier at $2.60, it could dramatically increase the chance of the cryptocurrency reaching a price of $4. Notably, the analyst previously noted a bullish flag pattern on XRP with a potential target of $4. Currently, XRP appears to be following the analyst’s predicted path.
Based on information from CoinMarketCap, XRP has seen a significant increase of 15.81% in the past week and a dramatic jump of 137.86% over the last month. Since the end of last December, it has achieved impressive gains amounting to 317.23%. With a new all-time high within reach, Ripple‘s anticipated RLUSD stablecoin is set for its debut on Tuesday, which could potentially drive XRP’s price above $3.
Prior to the upcoming launch of RLUSD, bids for the stablecoin have already soared to 836 XRP, far exceeding the expected 1 XRP. This spike suggests a strong interest in the stablecoin. According to reports, Ripple Payments, a company specializing in cross-border transactions, plans to incorporate RLUSD from early next year, which could potentially boost the XRP Ledger even further.
XRP Onwards and Upwards?
In simpler terms, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) for XRP’s price movement currently stands at 68.73. This indicates that the bulls have a stronger influence on the price trend right now, suggesting potential increases in the near future. The line’s slope also hints that XRP might approach the overbought zone, which is a region where an asset is bought more than it can be sold, implying further upward price movement.

In contrast, the MACD indicator indicates that the XRP price trend exhibited a bearish divergence a few days ago; however, now the signal line (red) and the MACD line (blue) are getting closer, indicating a potential bullish divergence. Furthermore, increasing volumes point towards growing demand for the cryptocurrency as the RLUSD launch draws near.
