XRP Price Breakout: This Resistance Level Holds The Key

Egrag Crypto, a renowned crypto analyst, delved deep into the XRP price trajectory in a recent tweet, highlighting the significance of the Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR) in analyzing potential resistance levels and charting out future price possibilities. Using the VPVR metric, Egrag pointed out the Value Area High (VAH) and Low-Value Area (VAL) which demarcate the highest and lowest prices within the 70% total value area, respectively. He noted, “To me, it’s crystal clear: XRP has broken out of a multi-month trend line and has successfully retested the breakout.” XRP Price Faces Stiff Resistance This breakout, as Egrag emphasized, positions the XRP price for a notable surge. However, for XRP to chart a stable long-term trajectory, “Establishing a strong foundation above VAH is crucial.” He further highlighted the significance of XRP crossing the $1 threshold, describing it as both a “structural milestone” and a “psychological barrier.” The VPVR, illustrated in Egrag’s chart, is an essential tool for traders. This histogram (on the right) captures volume traded at varying price points over a specific timeframe. It’s particularly adept at revealing the most actively traded price ranges, making it a robust tool for pinpointing support and resistance levels.

Egrag’s data suggests a VAL for XRP at around $0.16, a point of control (POC) at roughly $0.20226, and the pivotal VAH at $0.55. On the potential of the XRP price moving past the VAH, Egrag commented, “closing above the VAH $0.55 (in the weekly chart) will be an open high & FOMO will kick in and it could push XRP price to rocket-like levels.” However, it’s crucial to consider that XRP needs to cultivate a fresh volume profile above $0.55. Presently, trading volume above this mark is scanty, which might necessitate an initial pause in the range between $0.55 and $1. Egrag’s second chart reinforces this VPVR analysis. If bulls can conquer the $0.55 resistance, Egrag projects an XRP rally towards the $1 mark, a level last touched in mid-June post the Ripple summary judgment in the case against the SEC.

Analysts Share Predictions This previous brush with the $1 mark didn’t translate into a sustained surge, indicating the challenges of this threshold. Yet, with patience, Egrag envisions XRP marching towards the “next macro resistance” pegged at a lofty $4.5. 4-Hour Chart XRP/USD On the shorter timeframes, specifically the 4-hour chart, XRP bulls have suffered a setback today. The XRP price fell below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.5273, which could threaten a fall toward the 200 EMA ($0.5168). This thesis could be invalidated if XRP recovers the 20 EMA at $0.5242. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView.com

XRP Battle With Resistance: Could A Crucial Update Propel The Altcoin Forward?

XRP finds itself at a critical juncture as it grapples with a formidable resistance level at $0.54. The recent surge in XRP’s price has propelled it into this crucial resistance range, where it has made three unsuccessful attempts to breach in the past seven days. This repeated testing of the $0.54 mark underscores its significance as a formidable barrier for XRP. Despite these challenges, a price analysis suggests that XRP retains the potential to attract strong demand if certain conditions align in its favor. Over the last three weeks, there has been noticeable accumulation of XRP, indicating growing interest from investors.  Related Reading: Is XRP Growth Real Or Just Smoke And Mirrors? Here’s What Liquidation Data Shows This accumulation coincided with a previous rally that was sparked by a demand surge following a legal victory for Ripple. However, it remains to be seen whether XRP can find the catalyst it needs to break through its current resistance zone. Ripple’s Singapore License Sparks Hope For XRP Ripple, the company behind XRP, recently made a significant announcement. Its Singapore subsidiary, Ripple Markets APAC Pte Ltd, has successfully secured a Major Payments Institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). With this coveted license in hand, Ripple is now authorized to offer regulated digital payment token services in Singapore.  This development is noteworthy as more than 90% of Ripple’s business is conducted outside of the United States, with the Asia Pacific region experiencing rapid growth in demand for its crypto-enabled payment solutions. Ripple has made it clear that it intends to prioritize the Asia Pacific region for the adoption of its offerings. XRP market cap at nearly $28 billion today. Chart: TradingView.com However, despite these positive developments and promising signs of accumulation, XRP’s price has struggled to break free from its current resistance line. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.530038, reflecting a 0.9% decline over the past 24 hours. On a more positive note, it has recorded a 6.0% rise over the past week.  While the cryptocurrency has managed to surpass the $0.52 resistance level and is currently trading above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), caution is warranted. XRP seven-day price action. Source: Coingecko Analyzing XRP’s Current Price And Outlook Market conditions can shift rapidly, and XRP’s future performance hinges on various factors. Traders and investors should closely monitor trading volumes and other technical indicators to gain insight into whether XRP can ultimately overcome the stubborn resistance at $0.54.
