XRP MACD turns bullish; daily close above $1.55 targets $1.80

XRP MACD flips bullish; breakout hinges on CLARITY Act and ceasefire

XRP is testing the top of its range near $1.30–$1.40. Its daily MACD just turned bullish for the first time since January (MSN).

Buyers haven’t forced a clean break yet. Analyst Sam Daodu says the next 10 days will decide the move, with macro and regulatory “trigger points” in focus (MSN).

• Range and signal: XRP sits at $1.30–$1.40 resistance as the daily MACD flips bullish and holds, unlike prior attempts in 2026 (NewsBTC).
• History: The last sustained bullish MACD in early January preceded a ~25% one‑week rally to about $2.40 on Jan 7 (NewsBTC).
• Breakout confirmation: A daily close above $1.55 would validate the signal and argue for a real break, not a fade (NewsBTC).
• Upside target: If confirmed, Daodu points to $1.80, roughly +25% from $1.43 now (NewsBTC).
• Key catalysts: He flags two near‑term drivers for a sustained move. CLARITY Act markup before May to improve institutional visibility, and an extension of the ceasefire beyond April 22 (NewsBTC, NewsBTC).
• Flows watch: If both land, he estimates $4–$8B could flow into XRP ETFs from institutions waiting for clarity (NewsBTC).
• Downside risks: A lapse in the ceasefire on April 22 with oil above $100 could hit risk assets and flip MACD back bearish; if the CLARITY Act slips beyond May, XRP could retrace to $1.30 or lower (NewsBTC, NewsBTC).
