Is Ripple (XRP) Poised for a Massive Breakout Rally? Analysts Weigh In

TL:DR;

• The third-largest cryptocurrency has been trading within this high range for the first time in its history, which some analysts believe is an indicator of a future price rally.
• As usual, many industry commentators continue to be bullish on the asset, outlining predictions of up to $14.

XRP to Break Out Soon?

XRP went on a roll after the US elections as its price skyrocketed from under $0.6 in early November to just shy of its 2018 all-time high (according to CoinGecko) of $3.4 in mid-January. It surpassed numerous alternative coins in the process, becoming the third-largest digital asset with a market cap of $180 billion at press time as its price has retraced slightly to $3.13.

What’s particularly compelling about its price movements is the fact that it has remained predominantly above $2 ever since it broke above that level on December 1. Popular XRP commentator JackTheRippler outlined this milestone, indicating that the asset has “never been so long in the $2-$3 range in its entire history.” As such, they predicted an upcoming major breakout should this consolidation end soon.

Fellow analyst Altcoin Sherpa also weighed in on the recent price actions, saying that “dino coin price action” such as XRP and LTC is a “sight to behold.” On the other hand, Alexander Lorenzo told his 30K X followers that he is “about to go all in on XRP.”

$4.5 or $14?

The XRP Army has long been known for highly bullish comments and beliefs even when the asset’s price seemed stuck for years below $1 after the 2017/2018 bull market, especially following the SEC’s lawsuit against the company behind the cross-border token.

STEPH IS CRYPTO, a digital asset commentator with over 40,000 followers, provided two such optimistic price predictions for XRP. His short-term target would require the asset to break its 2018 ATH of $3.4 and jump to $4.5. The mid-term goal is even more spectacular – $14 per XRP. Should such a massive target be reached, XRP’s market cap will skyrocket to $810 billion, which would be twice as big as ETH’s now.
