XRP is currently witnessing a surge in market sentiment, recently reaching a psychological price of $2.50. This positive momentum has ignited optimism among XRP supporters, although analyst Ali Martinez cautions that predicting a price in the double digits may be premature.
He highlights that XRP is consolidating within a bull pennant pattern, with the token trading around $2.44 and facing significant resistance at $2.73. According to Martinez, breaking this resistance is crucial; otherwise, a potential pullback to $2.05 could occur. A 12% rally is needed for XRP to surpass this resistance.
Despite short-term challenges, the broader outlook remains optimistic. A successful breakout from the pennant could propel XRP to as high as $11.
The bull pennant pattern signifies strong bullish momentum, characterized by a sharp price increase followed by consolidation within converging trendlines. Traders are closely monitoring Fibonacci retracement levels, which indicate critical support and resistance zones during this phase.
If XRP manages to break through the $2.70 resistance, the next target would be the 1.00 Fibonacci level at $2.91, followed by a potential rise to $4.73 at the 1.272 Fibonacci level.
Achieving this would set a new all-time high for XRP, which last peaked in January 2018. Martinez’s analysis suggests that the ultimate target based on Fibonacci levels could reach $11, marking a significant milestone for the third-largest altcoin.
