Key Takeaways

  • The XRP price trades inside the long-term horizontal support at $3.
  • XRP has completed wave four in a five-wave upward movement.
  • Will XRP reach another all-time high price in August?

While the XRP price fell after its all-time high of $3.66 on July 18, it stopped the bleeding on Aug.3, increasing significantly this week.

The latest XRP news is positive, contributing to the bullish price action. Ripple’s OCC banking License application is now live, fueling speculation that it will be approved.

With that in mind, let’s analyze the XRP price action to see if a new all-time high is likely this year.

XRP Price Analysis

The weekly time frame technical analysis shows that the XRP price reclaimed the $3 horizontal area last week by creating a long lower wick (green icon).

Today, the XRP price trades inside the $3 area and attempts to create a bullish candlestick. The $3 area is critical since it was the previous all-time high in January 2025.

Despite the bounce, the price action has created some worrying signs. First, an ascending parallel channel has contained the movement since the 2025 high.

More recently, the channel rejected XRP in July, at the current all-time high price (red icon).

Channels usually contain corrective movements, so it is not a good sign that XRP trades inside one, despite being in its upper portion.

Secondly, momentum indicators show weakness.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) have created bearish divergences (orange) during the two recent highs.

Divergences in the weekly time frame are rare and often lead to long-term trend reversals.

So, the weekly time frame technical analysis does not confirm if the XRP price is in a bullish or bearish trend.

XRP Breakout Incoming?

The daily time frame analysis is more bullish, suggesting the correction is over.

XRP’s count shows that wave four in a five-wave movement has ended with a four-wave pullback, which ended inside the previous channel.

If wave five has started, the XRP rally could continue until at least $4.23, targeting the 1.61 external Fibonacci retracement resistance level.

So, the wave count predicts a new XRP all-time high soon.

The short-term chart confirms the correction is over. Firstly, it shows a completed W-X-Y structure (red), which ended at exactly the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement support level.

Then, it shows that XRP broke out from a descending wedge, confirming the correction is over.

So, the XRP price prediction is bullish, indicating that a new all-time high is likely this year.

Key Takeaways

XRP has reclaimed the critical $3 horizontal support, indicating potential for a continued uptrend.

The wave count and breakout from the short-term wedge support this bullish XRP prediction.

If momentum holds, the XRP price will reach a new all-time high in August.
