- XRP’s 3-day RSI nearing a bullish crossover, echoing past multi-fold price surges.
- Technicals mirror 2017 breakout, with triangle pattern and MACD green since mid-April.
- Whales added 200M XRP in a week, signaling strong confidence ahead of potential rally.
XRP is trading in a tight range near $2.20, but traders are watching for a major move. The token previously rallied 5x when the MACD turned green and the Stochastic RSI crossed above 80. Market participants are now waiting to see if this key RSI signal confirms on the 3-day chart.
Bullish Technical Patterns Suggest XRP May Be Entering New Breakout Cycle
According to analysis prepared by crypto analyst JD, XRP has formed a breakout from a long-term triangle pattern on the 2-month chart. This formation includes a flat upper resistance line and a rising support trendline, which XRP breached in late 2024.
The last time this breakout occurred, in early 2017, XRP saw a large rally. JD’s analysis also shows a Stochastic RSI crossover above 80 on the 2-month timeframe. This is the same indicator move seen before XRP’s 20x surge in 2017.
The MACD, another technical indicator used to confirm trend strength, has stayed in green since mid-April. These two technical events last occurred together just before XRP’s biggest historical price movement.
Whale Activity and Rising Investor Interest Add Support to Price Forecasts
Santiment data shows that wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP tokens increased their holdings by 200 million tokens over the past week. The total now stands at 7.79 billion XRP. This continued accumulation by large holders suggests growing confidence in the asset.
A report by the National Cryptocurrency Association says 23% of US crypto investors now have exposure to XRP. In addition, awareness of the token is at 67% among American traders. Whale purchases and strong investor interest often align with rising prices, especially ahead of possible regulatory announcements.
According to an observation by VipRoseTr, a breakout above $2.58 could set the stage for a price run toward $3.87. Traders are now watching closely for the Stochastic RSI confirmation on the 3-day chart, which could spark a strong upward move.
