Key Takeaways

  • The XRP price trades below the $3.30 horizontal resistance area.
  • XRP has nearly broken out from a symmetrical triangle pattern.
  • Can XRP break out and reach a new all-time high price?

After failing to sustain its all-time high, the XRP price is battling a key resistance at $3.30.

The first two breakout attempts failed, but the price is gearing up for its third breakout attempt.

With a bullish wave count behind it, the XRP price shows positive signals that suggest a new all-time high is imminent.

XRP Price Forecast

The daily time frame analysis shows that while the XRP price reached an all-time high of $3.66 on July 18, it failed to sustain the rally.

Instead, XRP created a deviation above the $3.30 horizontal area (black circle) before falling below it and confirming it as resistance (red icons).

These deviations are bearish developments and usually lead to bearish trend reversals.

This has been the case, with the XRP price down more than 17% since its all-time high.

Despite the pullback, bullish momentum is returning. Yesterday, the XRP price created a bullish engulfing candlestick (green icon) and could continue its ascent today.

If that happens, and especially if the XRP price reclaims $3.30, it will confirm that the bullish trend has started and could lead to a new all-time high price.

While the price action could be in the first stages of a bullish trend reversal, momentum indicators do not confirm it.

Instead, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) linger in neutral territory, the former at 50 and the latter at 0.

Until the indicators turn bullish, it is unclear if the XRP price will break out above $3.30 or continue falling to new lows.

Why is XRP Going Up?

While the price action and indicators do not confirm the trend, the wave count is decisively bullish.

According to the count, the XRP price is has completed wave four in a five-wave upward movement and has started an upward movement toward new highs.

There are two characteristics for this count:

  • The XRP price completed a fourth wave pullback by returning to the channel of waves one and two.
  • The XRP price completed an A-B-C-D-E structure (black) and a fourth wave triangle.

Since both are present, it his highly likely that XRP has started its fifth and final wave that will take it between $4.10-$4.24.

A potential fifth wave extension could take the price all the way to $4.87.

XRP vs ETH

Ethereum (ETH) has been the altcoin leader in July and August, but XRP may catch up soon.

Against ETH, XRP has lost more than 50% since March but is now nearing major support at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level (0.0006 ETH).

The zone also aligns with a horizontal support level, making it a strong candidate for a trend reversal.

Adding to the bullish case, XRP has completed an A-B-C correction where wave C is 0.618 times the length of wave A.

Moreover, the MACD generated a bullish divergence while the RSI increased outside of its oversold territory

Together, these signals suggest the XRP price will retrace against ETH

XRP ATH Incoming

The XRP price is at a pivotal level where a breakout from its symmetrical triangle will confirm that the rally toward an all-time high has started.

XRP is also at a suitable level for a trend reversal against ETH, so it could take the lead as the best-performing altcoin in the coming weeks.
