XRP Holds Above $2 Trendline for Nearly Five Months

XRP investors are monitoring a key price level this week, with Bitcoin above $100,000 and Ethereum over $2,300. XRP has seen a slight increase but remains in the lower $2 range. It has consistently held above a crucial horizontal trendline at $2.

Historical Context

  • XRP surged from $0.0055 to $3.80 in March 2017.
  • It peaked at $3.80 in January 2018 before falling below $2 shortly after.
  • The $2 level served as resistance for nearly seven years.

Recent Developments

  • XRP broke above the $2 trendline in December 2024 amid a bullish market.
  • This marks the longest period XRP has maintained this level historically.

Analyst Insights

  • Analyst "Guy on the Earth" suggests that staying above $2 could lead to higher prices.
  • He predicts a target of $5.30 and recommends traders consider profit-taking at that point.

Market Considerations

  • Ripple's ongoing legal battle with the SEC and regulatory changes will impact XRP’s performance.
  • Traders should watch for volume spikes around the $2 mark; a drop below $1.80 may invalidate current bullish setups.
