Ripple Tests $0.66 Barrier; Will XRP Surpass ATH Next Week?

The crypto market’s optimism has fueled a four-day rally for XRP, propelling its price up by more than 15% this week. Now trading at $0.6141, XRP’s surge has elevated its market cap to $34.3 billion, firmly placing it as the 6th largest digital asset.

Moreover, its trading volume surged by 57.51% to $2,025,143,405, reflecting increased trader activity and investor confidence. On-chain data further supports this bullish outlook, showing XRP spot trading volume surpassing BTC, ETH, and SOL on major exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance.

Meanwhile, other cryptocurrencies faced minor setbacks, with Bitcoin dipping 0.49% and Ethereum slipping 1.62% within a single day.

Can XRP Break the $0.66 Barrier?

According to a CryptoNewsZ analysis, XRP is on the brink of breaking through the $0.66 resistance level by the end of this week. If XRP manages to surpass this critical barrier, the next target is set at $0.74, which could pave the way for the token to aim for the $0.94 mark—a level not seen since the market downturn on July 10.

Technically, XRP’s current price stands above the 50-day and 100-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA) at $0.55206 and $0.50275, respectively. This alignment indicates a bullish trajectory, suggesting that XRP may continue its upward trend and potentially hit new highs if this pattern persists.

Can XRP Surpass its All-Time High?

Currently, XRP is navigating an asymmetrical triangle pattern, a setup that historically hints at a potential breakout in either direction. Examining past data, XRP has shown remarkable growth whenever this pattern has appeared. 

For instance, in September 2016, breaking above this pattern propelled XRP to a massive 61,245% increase, reaching its all-time high of $3.84 in just 476 days. Similarly, in July 2020, XRP experienced a substantial rise of over 832%, hitting a peak of $1.9690 after another breakout from an asymmetrical triangle.

Given this historical precedent, analysts predict that XRP could surpass its previous all-time high, potentially reaching new peaks around $5.00, as forecasted by CryptonewsZ. This would mark a 711% gain from its current price levels.
