XRP, the third largest cryptocurrency by capitalization, has shown a significant rise in price of around 80% over the past month. This surge is due to both the general recovery of the cryptocurrency market, driven by bitcoin's strong performance, and positive news from Ripple, including reports of its application for a banking license and the launch of a XRP ETF.
Although the current price of XRP is about 10% below its all-time high reached in 2018, renowned analyst Ali Martinez has an optimistic outlook on its further dynamics. After studying the chart, Martinez identified the formation of a specific price pattern (“symmetrical triangle”) indicating a possible significant price increase in the near term.
According to Martinez's analysis, the cryptocurrency's breaking of a key price level could lead to its growth by about 430% to the $15 mark. The analyst bases this forecast on a technical calculation, taking into account the current performance and the historical growth of XRP by 470% in a single year in the past.
