Ripple’s XRP Prepares for a ‘Brutal’ Surge—Could $10 Be in Play?

The crypto market never sleeps—and neither does XRP’s volatility. After months of sideways action, whispers of a ''brutal'' rally are gaining traction. But can Ripple’s token really hit double digits?

The Case for a Parabolic Move

XRP’s chart patterns echo historic breakouts, and liquidity pools are primed for a squeeze. With institutional interest creeping back in, the stars might align for a violent upside.

The $10 Question

Sure, it sounds outrageous—until you remember this is crypto, where ''impossible'' rallies happen between coffee breaks. Regulatory clarity (or lack thereof) remains the wildcard, but since when has uncertainty stopped gamblers—sorry, ''investors''?

Buckle up. This could get messy.

Brutal Leg Up Coming?

Aside from a few brief and unsuccessful attempts to shoot past the $2.6 resistance in mid-May, XRP has been struggling to get out of its relatively tight range between $2.1 and $2.4. It tested the lower boundary last week, but the bulls managed to defend it and sent the token toward the upper one. After a 2.5% jump on a daily scale and a 4.5% increase since last week, XRP now trades above $2.3.

Looking at a more macro graph, though, shows that the asset has been within a symmetrical triangle since the December and January highs. According to xoom’s chart, XRP is currently testing the upper boundary, and a breakout could send its price flying.

This will help determine the direction of the next move, as the symmetrical triangle is generally a neutral indicator. It is characterized by a descending trendline connecting lower highs and an ascending trendline connecting higher lows.

Golden Cross and $10 Next?

Cobb, a popular member of the XRP Army, cited information posted by Steph Is Crypto, which showcases that XRP’s chart on the 2D has flashed a major bull sign – the completion of a golden cross. The technical pattern occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a longer-term MA and suggests a potential uptrend.

Both analysts praised the move, with Steph predicting that the next 1-2 months will make millionaires. Cobb, on the other hand, said the next leg up will be “brutal” and suggested, in a separate post, that even a price target of $10 is not out of the question.

Although even ChatGPT believes XRP at $10 is possible this year, under certain conditions, investors should be aware that such a massive increase from the current levels would put the asset’s market cap at well over $500 billion. This would make XRP the second-biggest cryptocurrency by market cap, at least when compared to ETH’s current numbers.

It’s not impossible, but certainly feels like a stretch, especially when we observe the current price moves.
