XRP Analyst Thinks The Coin Is Ready To Skyrocket By 21,000% To Over $150
XRP is one of the top performers, looking at the performance over the last three weeks. After sinking below $0.40 in early July, the coin has rebounded sharply, adding 60%. As the coin outperforms leading altcoins like Solana and Ethereum, for example, there could be more room for growth.
Is XRP Ready For $150? Analyst Thinks So
From the daily chart, XRP is trending above key reaction levels. Notably, the close above $0.55 (now key support) reversed losses posted in mid-April. Additionally, the confirmation of recent gains and the close above $0.62 earlier today could spur demand, extending gains toward $0.74 and eventually $1.
As optimism reigns, one analyst on X thinks the coin is preparing for sharp gains in the coming weeks and months. Sharing a price chart, the analyst said XRP is breaking out from the local resistance and the multi-year resistance trend line. From his analysis, the trader said XRP just broke from a “massive, 2,351 days resisting trend.”
The breakout from the bull flag anchored at the swing high, when prices rose to all-time highs of over $3.20, and the swing low, $0.16, when the coin plunged to $0.16 in 2021, is crucial. In the analyst’s estimation, XRP is now preparing for more gains that could propel the coin to $150 for an over “21,000% climb” from spot rates.
Settlement Of United States Versus SEC Case Crucial
It remains to be seen how prices will behave going forward. However, one of the key drivers of demand in the coming days and weeks will be the outcome of the ongoing case pitting Ripple and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Despite the partial win in July 2023, the regulator wants Ripple to pay a huge penalty of $2 billion.
However, things are evolving fast, with Ripple lawyers defending that XRP is not an unregistered security as the regulator alleged. The United States SEC is being accused of regulation by enforcement, forcing crypto innovation elsewhere.
During the last Bitcoin conference, former President Donald Trump said if he took over, his administration would fire Gary Gensler, the current head of the Commission. Trump said his plan would be to make America the leader in crypto and even establish a BTC reserve.
Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, has been critical of the United States SEC. After the agency requested the court to retract their classification of some altcoins, including ADA and SOL, as unregistered securities, Garlinghouse claimed the agency has been acting to fulfill a “political agenda and/or acting on bad faith” against crypto players.
