Analyst predicts XRP rallies to $2 in April after 200-week EMA reclaim

2 min

XRP defends its 200‑week EMA near $1.41. An analyst sees a 30%–40% relief rally to $1.80–$2.00 in the coming weeks before a “critical inflection point.”

XRP jumped 15% from weekend lows to a one‑month high at $1.60 on Tuesday, then slipped back with market volatility according to NewsBTC.

Analyst ChardNerd says XRP is “defending a lifeline” at the 200‑week EMA (~$1.41) and just reclaimed it on the weekly close. He expects a retest and potential reclaim of $1.50, then a relief move toward the 20/50 EMA at $1.80–$2.00, which he calls the “critical inflection point” in his video.

He notes the pattern echoes prior cycles: after the 2021 peak, XRP rallied to the 20/50 EMA from the 200 EMA before rejection and bear‑market lows. A similar back‑test now could allow “a few months” of relief “if Bitcoin behaves” per ChardNerd.

Timing risk remains. If March doesn’t tag $1.80–$2.00, the move could extend into April–May per NewsBTC’s recap of the outlook. After a push toward $2, he sees room for a retrace to $0.80–$0.70 per the same analysis.

Price has also retested the $1.42–$1.40 area during the pullback, keeping focus on that “lifeline” into the weekly close per NewsBTC.

Key levels to watch:
- Support: 200‑week EMA around $1.41 source.
- Resistance: $1.50, then $1.80–$2.00 (20/50 EMA) source.
- Recent high: $1.60 on Tuesday source.
