Technical analysis
The key development was the break above $1.426, which had served as a ceiling throughout the recent consolidation. Once the level was reached thanks to heavy volume, the price quickly accelerated towards the $1.47 area.
Short-term charts show a sequence of higher lows forming after the breakout, suggesting that buyers are attempting to turn the former resistance area into support.
Momentum remains constructive as XRP holds above around $1.43. The next technical barrier is near the $1.48 to $1.50 area, where previous rallies have stalled.
What do traders think is next?
Traders are now focusing on whether XRP can maintain support above the $1.43 to $1.44 breakout level.
If this zone holds, the token could extend the trend towards $1.50 and potentially the $1.55 region as momentum builds.
However, a return below $1.43 would weaken the breakout and could take XRP back towards the previous consolidation range near $1.39 to $1.40.
