After moving as high as $2.65 (up over 25%), RP, the digital asset affiliated with Ripple Labs, has seen a substantial price increase. this rally has come after the market dropped for a while and is now facing resistance around $2.820
Is XRP’s Comeback for Real?
The recent price recovery with XRP is starting a strong move above the $2.50 level. It is currently trading below $2.80 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was also a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance near $2.420 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). I suspect if it can get over the $2.820 resistance zone, the gains will be even more substantial based on this development.

How Did it All Go From Decline to Where it is Now?
The RP price movement closely resembles that of large-cap cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum. It dropped sharply below the $2.850 support and even slipped below $2.00, well below the $2.50 and $2.350 support levels. It fell over 25%, testing the $1.75 area on the downside. However, the low was printed at $1.75, and the price quickly recovered from the drop. Bulls pushed the price above the $2.20 and $2.50 resistance levels, breaking beyond the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the decrease from the $3.155 swing high to the $1.750 low.
Technical Indicators Indicate Possible Movements
The price is currently struggling to clear the $2.80 resistance area, which coincides with the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level of the previous decline. A solid break above the $2.940 resistance would likely open the doors for a move towards the $3.00 level. Further advances may find targets at $3.050 and even up at $3.120 in the subscription period, while the next broader area of resistance for bulls rests nearer to $3.20.
Conversely, a failure to clear the $2,820 resistance zone may perhaps spark another decline. Minor support is at $2.620 with significant support around $2.50. A downside break and close under $2.50 could push the price lower toward the $2.450 support, while the next major support is around $2.350.
External Factors Impacting Market Reactions
Recent movement on the market has been driven by external factors, including geopolitical events. For example, many cryptocurrencies, XRP included, recently saw drops caused by the economic effects of new tariffs passed by President Donald Trump in October 2023. Bitcoin fell 2.5% to $95,344, and XRP was down 9.7% at around $2.35, according to Barron’s. These developments signal the crypto market’s sensitivity to global economic events and policy decisions.

XRP Prediction by Analysts
Different analysts have different predictions for XRP’s future value. Some predict XRP should be around $3 by late 2024, although with where prices are currently at, this is far-fetched. They predict it will climb to $5-$7 based on Ripple’s developments and expect less regulatory scrutiny. Some experts make much broader predictions of as little as $5 to as much as $100, warning that volatility can happen before or after that. For XRP, the path ahead depends on adoption and a resolution of the regulatory hearings around its future, specifically the ruling in the SEC vs. Ripple case. ipple now has RLUSD, a newly launched stablecoin, which could strengthen the chances of XRP.
These indicators signal that XRP has demonstrated some resilience in its recent rebound but now enters an important resistance territory that will help shape its short-term direction. These levels are important as traders and investors need to look out for making logical choices.
XRP’s price movements remind us of crypto’s ever-present volatility in general and the weight of external opinions on the crypto space. p as the market continues upward on global economic and regulatory developments stakeholders with interest.
