XRP has finally emerged from days of sideways trading, breaking free from its tight range in what appears to be the beginning of a fresh bullish move. The breakout looks solid—price action confirms it, the retest held firm, and momentum seems to be tilting in favor of the bulls. With $2.80 now in sight as the next key level, traders are watching closely to see if this rally has legs.
Technical Picture
According to analyst 𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐫, the setup is "clean"—breakout done, retest successful, and buyers are stepping in.
The 4-hour chart tells a straightforward story:
- Support Zone: $2.25–$2.35
- Resistance Zone: $2.60–$2.70
- Current Price: Around $2.37
XRP punched through a descending trendline and hasn't looked back. After breaking out, it came back down to test support—a textbook move that often leads to further upside. As long as the price holds above $2.30, the path toward $2.60–$2.70 stays open, with $2.80 possible if buying pressure picks up.
The structure is shifting. Lower highs are turning into potential higher lows, and what used to be resistance is now acting as support. That's exactly what you want to see when bulls are taking over. Recent candles show growing interest from buyers, and if XRP pushes into the resistance zone, it could trigger more buying and short covering, adding fuel to the move.
Why $2.80 Matters
The $2.80 level isn't random. It marks the upper end of the current recovery range and lines up with a cluster of past resistance where liquidity tends to sit. It's also consistent with measured-move projections from the breakout base—meaning it's a logical target based on the chart's geometry.
A clean break above $2.70 would confirm a new bullish leg and likely bring in medium-term buyers who've been sitting on the sidelines. But if XRP slips back below $2.30, the breakout loses its validity and the coin could slide back into the old consolidation range. For now, though, the bulls are in control—and $2.80 is the prize they're aiming for.
