XRP has broken above a bullish pattern, which might allow it to reclaim its 2021 high.
- Buying pressure on the token increased in the last few days. A technical indicator, however, hinted at a price correction first.
XRP bulls have been pushing hard over the last few days, allowing the token to break above a crucial resistance. This latest breakout could be a gamechanger for XRP, as it might be getting ready for a nearly 300% price rise in the coming days.
XRP’s successful breakout
After remaining bearish throughout the last week, the token recently gained bullish momentum and pushed its price up by more than 2% in the last 24 hours.
At the time of writing, the token was trading at $0.6133 with a market capitalization of over $34.6 billion.
Things can get even better in the coming days, as the recent price uptick allowed it to break above a bull pattern. Captain Faibik, a popular crypto analyst, recently posted a tweet revealing a multi-year bullish symmetrical triangle pattern.
The pattern first emerged in 2021, and since then XRP’s price has been consolidating inside it. Its recent price uptick allowed XRP to breakout.
Captain Faibik’s tweet also suggested that this latest development could result in XRP registering a nearly 300% price hike in the coming weeks or months.
However, since the 300% target seemed a bit too ambitious in the near term, the tweet also mentioned that the midterm target could be $2.3.
