Despite a prolonged period of lackluster price movements, the Ripple (XRP) community remains optimistic about a significant Ripple comeback. Trading within the $0.50–$0.60 range, XRP has recently shown signs of a gradual price ascent. The community’s hopes are further buoyed by a key technical development, the token has narrowly avoided a bearish cross, which could have plunged its valuation further.
According to crypto analyst Egrag Crypto, XRP’s recent avoidance of a bearish cross—a technical indicator that typically signals a downward trend—has prevented what could have been a further deterioration in its price. Last month, Egrag Crypto highlighted the potential for the token to enter a bearish cross zone on its monthly chart, a situation that could have signaled declining price metrics.
The analyst remarked,
“In the post dated April 8th, 2024, I briefly stated that ‘the #XRP ASO indicator is surprising even to experienced analysts. A unique pattern is forming, possibly leading to a bearish cross in the ASO. This formation is different, hinting at a new pattern. XRPArmy, be prepared for a potential utility run, as this cycle might not mirror previous ones.”
Recently, Egrag Crypto corroborated this analysis, noting that while the token had been approaching a bearish cross, it has now veered away from this zone. This deviation could mark a significant shift for the token, potentially setting the stage for a bullish phase.
XRP Price Forecast: $1 Dream Coming True?
The XRP community’s optimism is further supported by recent price forecasts. CoinCodex projects a notable surge in XRP’s price in the coming weeks. The platform predicts that the token will be trading at $0.584007 by June 16, 2024, representing a 16.92% increase. By July 9, 2024, the token’s price could rise by 20.73% to reach $0.603067.
For Ripple to capitalize on the current bullish market sentiment, it must first break through the critical $0.75 price level. Should this happen, the token may embark on a significant rally, potentially reaching the much-anticipated $1 mark.
While the Fear & Greed Index shows a high level of greed at 75, suggesting caution, the technical indicators remain optimistic. With 47% green days and a price volatility of 2.03% over the last month, the token’s path forward looks promising.
As XRP navigates these technical waters, the community watches closely, hopeful that the token is on the cusp of a major resurgence.
