After weeks of consolidation, XRP is once again testing the key $3 level.
Bulls have regained momentum after the June breakout, despite a steady summer correction.
The big question now is whether XRP can finally push past $3 and set fresh highs.
XRP’s weekly chart shows a sharp shift in momentum after a difficult summer.
The token broke out from a long-standing diagonal resistance trend line in June, posting two massive bullish candlesticks that carried it to a new all-time high of $3.66 in July.
That rally quickly faded, however, leading to a seven-week slide. The trend only reversed when XRP bounced off the diagonal resistance — now acting as support — sparking the current upward move.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading within the critical $3 horizontal zone.
This area, which marks the previous all-time high, has become the battleground for bulls and bears. A decisive reclaim could set the stage for fresh highs, while rejection may signal another pullback.
Technicals lean bullish after a breakout above a short-term diagonal resistance, but indicators flash mixed signals.
Both the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) remain above their neutral levels, yet both have begun to show bearish divergences — a sign that upward momentum could be weakening even as price action holds strong.

Nevertheless, a decline has transpired because of the divergence, so it is unclear if another remains.
Because of these mixed signals, it is unclear if the XRP price will rally or decline the rest of the year based on the price action alone.
So, the wave count can provide some much-needed clarity for what happens next.
Unlike the price action, the wave count is more decisive in predicting an XRP breakout in the future.
According to the count, XRP has just begun the fifth and final wave of its upward movement, with an initial target between $3.96 and $4.24.

The defining trait of this count is the A-B-C correction (red) in wave four, which completed a fourth-wave pullback.
So, chances are that XRP has started wave five, which will take it to a new all-time high.
A potential rate cute in today’s FOMC meeting could accelerate the XRP price increase.
Ethereum has been the leading altcoin for the past few months, but that is about to change concerning XRP.
The XRP to ETH chart shows a completed A-B-C correction (black), which ended at the 0.618 Fibonacci support area.
A significant retracement is likely, which could cause the XRP price to outperform Ethereum.

To confirm this, the XRP price must break out from the diagonal resistance trend line that has existed since April.
Once that happens, the XRP to ETH chart could go to a new cycle high.
The wave count suggests XRP is in the final stretch of its upward movement, setting the stage for a new all-time high.
Despite mixed signals from indicators, the broader structure leans bullish.
If XRP can reclaim and hold above $3, the next rally could take it to new highs.
