A brief period of trading above the long established resistance level at $0.30 shows that Ripple’s XRP token is vulnerable which may signal that it is in for an extended session of sideways trading. However, analysts are confident and say that XRP may surge soon and see further gains in the near-term. One analyst set his target at $0.45 which could mark a significant surge from the current price levels.
At press time, XRP is trading at $0.2850 with a downfall from the $0.3000 region. This is around where it has been trading for the past several days. Ripple’s token was unable to decisively close above $0.30 signalling that bears still have strength in spite of the crypto’s recovery from its multi-month lows of $0.24 but it is important to note that any notable break above this level could spark a major uptrend for the embattled crypto.
One popular crypto analyst on Twitter said that XRP may surge – he in fact believes that a break above $0.30 could be sparked by the ongoing Swell conference which is scheduled for the upcoming days. However, the analyst also noted that there is a decent chance that XRP does not incur the annual “Swell pump” this year.
“$XRP: Taking a look at the USDT-pairing and I’d say we have at most 10% leading into Swell and that’s IF price clears the 30c resistance. Swell might be an absolute BUST this year,” he explained when pointing to the below chart.
Even though Loma believes that there is a decent chance XRP does not break the $0.30 in the near term. Eric Choe who is another popular analyst believes that if the Ripple XRP news show strong support above the current price levels, a movement to $0.35 could be in the books.
“#Xrp #ripple If red box can hold, possible $0.45,” he concisely noted.
As Swell continues on and XRP trades sideways, it is highly probable that the cryptocurrency will quickly grow increasingly clear – as to whether or not it will be able to gain enough momentum in the near term to send it upwards.
However, XRP may surge in the near future and prove that the bullish momentum is not lost. For that to happen, we must see another positive traction on the market.
