Why the next XRP price prediction will be more challenging than the previous

  • XRP price rallied 19% over the weekend.
  • The Relative Strength Index shows significant bullish momentum in higher time frames.
  • A breach above $0.41 could prompt an additional rally towards $0.44.

XRP price validates the previous countertrend thesis, still trying to attain more profit from the current uptrend has accompanying risk.

XRP Price follows suit

XRP price has displayed applaudable price action over the weekend. Since Friday, September 16, the digital remittance token has rallied 19%, validating the previous bullish trade idea mentioned in the last thesis. Now that the bulls have breached the $0.39 target, a double scenario is underway.

“Invalidation of the bearish thesis is a closing candle above $0.345. If the bulls can hurdle the barrier, a countertrend rally could occur towards the recent swing highs at $0.390. Such a move would result in a 19% increase from the current XRP price. “

XRP Countertrend Thesis

XRP price currently auctions at $0.38. The Relative Strength Index displays the XRP price bottoming at the ideal supportive level. Based on this cue, the momentum in the market seems in favor of the bulls.

Nonetheless, being an early buyer at the current time could be risky as the overall downtrend is still intact until the summertime swing high at $0.41 is breached. If the bulls can hurdle this level, a rise towards the May 31 swing high st $0.44 could occur, resulting in an additional 16% increase from the current XRP price.

On the contrary, if the bulls do not hurdle the $0.41 boundary, a retracement into the mid-way point of the recent uptrend at $0.036 stands a high chance of occurring. Said price action would result in an 8 % decline from the current market value.
