XRP price has been trading within a clearly defined symmetrical triangle for about 3 years, and a breakout might trigger a parabolic run.

Speculations surrounding XRP’s price action remain on the high end, owing to the coin’s rank as one of the most watched tokens in the crypto ecosystem.

Outlook for the asset took a new twist when, against all expectations, the coin failed to touch the $1 mark last July following Judge Analisa Torres’s verdict in the SEC lawsuit that it is not a security.

The XRP Momentum Building Up

As XRP gives in to bearish pressure, market analyst Crypto Rover has continued to track its price. He has identified XRP’s trend in a 3-year symmetrical triangle. Crypto Rover was one of the analysts who spotted the trend when XRP derailed from the 3-year consolidation phase earlier this month.

After breaking below the triangle, XRP recorded multiple rebounds and a subsequent rally amid the broader market upsurge. Crypto Rover has now confirmed the return of XRP to the consolidation range, with the likelihood of a breakout.

He expressed optimism about what might come next for XRP. According to him, any potential breakout from the triangle’s resistance point might be massive. For reference, breaking through the resistance will require XRP to flip the $0.6 price level as support for a significant time.

This short-term target is currently proving arduous, considering XRP’s price at the moment is $0.5312, up by 1.3% in 24 hours. The last time the coin touched the $0.6 level was early December 2023, meaning a significant rally is required to beat the current stalemate.

XRP and Market Trends

Nonetheless, XRP investors are less confident of a potential break. Despite the reduced optimism, fundamentals in the XRP ecosystem remain bullish, complemented by the ongoing evolution of the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

With Bitcoin’s price returning to the $51,000 price mark and market capitalization soaring beyond the $1 trillion milestone, XRP can ride on this tempo to surmount its current woes. With the optimism in the ecosystem, expectations abound that XRP can soar beyond its current market capitalization of $28,984,874,626 in the near term.
