rk) XRP, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation, is witnessing a surge in trading activity, with volume increasing by 124.3% to reach $5.92 billion, igniting hopes for new price levels. However, the asset faced its first major resistance at the $2.30 mark, unable to maintain momentum and dropping to $2.2962, SİA reports.
As of the latest update, XRP is trading at $2.24, reflecting a 4.46% rise over the past 24 hours. Despite the impressive trading volume, the price has seen a slight decline of $0.06 following the initial rejection at this significant resistance level. The trading volume has also dipped slightly to $5.86 billion, indicating a downward trend that investors are closely monitoring.
Market optimism remains, especially with the recent appointment of Paul Atkins as the new chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Some participants believe this change could facilitate a positive shift in XRP’s price trajectory, particularly if the SEC considers withdrawing its appeal in the Ripple case.
Analysts suggest that if XRP breaks through the $2.70 barrier, it could pave the way for a surge towards $3.00, with further targets between $3.45 and $3.60.
Investor sentiment is bolstered by a notable increase in active XRP addresses, which surged by 67.5% ahead of the launch of XRP futures on Coinbase. This uptick signals growing retail interest and could set the stage for a spot ETF, enhancing institutional access and market legitimacy.
Optimism surrounding the Ripple case is also contributing to rising interest in XRP. Legal expert Bill Morgan noted the heightened activity in the newly launched XRP futures market, stating that both institutional and retail interest continues to grow.
Teucrium CEO Sal Gilbertie emphasised XRP’s utility, contrasting it with Bitcoin, and noted the recent launch of the 2X XRP ETF, which aims to double the daily price performance of XRP. This launch has sparked speculation that a non-leveraged XRP spot ETF may soon follow.
As XRP rose by 0.29% on 23rd April, consolidating a previous 6.08% rally, it briefly touched $2.3007 before settling at $2.2187. The broader cryptocurrency market also saw a slight increase, with the total market capitalisation reaching $2.89 trillion.
ooking ahead, critical factors influencing XRP’s price will include the potential settlement in the Ripple case, expectations for an XRP spot ETF, and broader macroeconomic developments. Downside risks are noted near $1.70, while upside potential could reach around $3.00.
