The XRP price has experienced a notable surge in recent days amidst the wider backdrop of the crypto industry. At the time of writing, many cryptocurrencies are starting to reverse their seven-day gains due to Bitcoin’s failure to break above $60,000 on Monday. However, XRP continues to stand firm, registering a 2.23% gain in the past 24 hours. This positive price movement has sparked discussions within the crypto community about the potential for a significant breakthrough.
Analyst Identifies $0.75 As A Crucial Target
EGRAG CRYPTO’s highlight of the $0.75 price mark for XRP is based on an XRP/USD price chart on the weekly candlestick timeframe, which he shared on social media platform X. Interestingly, the latest highlight comes as an update to his XRP analysis from January 2024. This analysis focuses on XRP’s price structural formation, sentiment status, MACRO range, and psychological zone, all in critical price zones. The most notable are the MACRO range, which starts at $0.71, and the psychological zone at $0.932.
According to crypto analyst EGRAG Crypto, the key resistance level for XRP is $0.75, which could make or break its journey to $1. As EGRAG noted, all these levels can be shattered with just one strong daily candle, with emphasis on $0.75. For XRP, the $0.75 mark is within the MACRO range.
Interestingly, XRP is yet to break above $0.75 this year, with its highest point so far being $0.718. Should the cryptocurrency manage to close above this level on a weekly timeframe, it could pave the way for a more substantial price rally.
Will The XRP Price Sustain A Rally To $1?
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at $0.5851 and is still on 8.4% gains in seven days. Based on the recent update, EGRAG noted that the move towards $1 is still in play, as XRP is poised for a massive breakout.
Although EGRAG only noted the $0.75 price as the most crucial for a breakthrough, there exist other resistance levels that serve as forerunners. Looking at the XRP price chart, XRP has been trading below $0.62 since March. Interestingly, the cryptocurrency has retested this price level at least six times since then and has failed to break above.
From a technical perspective, $0.62 has emerged as a pivotal price point, acting as a short-term hurdle that XRP bulls must conquer before setting their sights on the more significant $0.75 resistance. A clear break above these levels would signal increasing buyer strength and potentially open the door for a campaign to $1.
From a fundamental point of view, the XRP price is starting to campaign to the $1 mark in light of recent events in the XRP ecosystem. One such event is Grayscale’s recent unveiling of the first XRP trust in the US. This move has prompted speculation that an XRP ETF will hit the market soon. Another noteworthy development is the relisting of XRP on the European version of Robinhood.
