XRP Breaks the $1 Barrier: Could $2.02 Be Next?A New Dawn for Ripple
After years of waiting, CRYPTOCAP:XRP has finally shattered the elusive $1 barrier, signaling a potential resurgence for the cryptocurrency. This milestone, which comes after a three-year hiatus, was bolstered by strong fundamentals, market optimism, and improved sentiment surrounding Ripple’s ongoing legal battle with the SEC. XRP’s market cap surged by 10% to $60.45 billion, reclaiming its position above Dogecoin ( CRYPTOCAP:DOGE ).
Yet, despite the celebration, CRYPTOCAP:XRP faces stiff competition from the meteoric rise of memecoins, which could stall its journey toward the $2 milestone. Let’s delve deeper into the technical and fundamental aspects driving XRP’s rally.
The XRP Ledger: A Technological Marvel
Launched in 2012, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a cornerstone of Ripple’s ecosystem. Its features include:
- Low Transaction Costs: A negligible fee of $0.0002 per transaction.
- Speed: Transactions settle in 3-5 seconds, making it one of the fastest blockchains.
- Scalability: Handling 1,500 transactions per second (TPS).
- Eco-Friendly Attributes: XRPL is carbon-neutral and energy-efficient.
XRPL pioneered the first decentralized exchange (DEX) and supports custom tokenization directly within its protocol. With a reliable track record of closing 70 million ledgers since inception, the XRPL continues to demonstrate resilience and innovation.
Live Price Data & Market Dynamics
As of now, CRYPTOCAP:XRP is trading at $1.14, with a 24-hour trading volume of $9.75 billion. CRYPTOCAP:XRP has risen 1.35% in the last 24 hours, positioning itself as the 6th largest cryptocurrency with a live market cap of $64.92 billion.
The circulating supply stands at 56.93 billion XRP coins, out of a maximum supply of 100 billion coins, reflecting a healthy distribution model.
Technical Analysis: Symmetrical Triangle Breakout
On the yearly chart, CRYPTOCAP:XRP has broken above the symmetrical triangle pattern, which coincided with the recent price surge to $1.13. This breakout has ignited bullish sentiment, supported by the following key indicators:
1. Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Currently at 85, XRP’s RSI indicates overbought conditions, suggesting a potential short-term pullback. Traders should exercise caution while monitoring for consolidation.
2. Ichimoku Cloud Analysis
XRP’s momentum is still in its infancy, as per the Ichimoku cloud. The next major resistance lies at $2.02, with the cloud projecting further bullish momentum if this level is breached.
3. Support and Resistance Levels
Maintaining $1 as a solid support is critical. A failure to hold this level could trigger selling pressure, potentially leading to a retracement.
Fundamental Catalysts Behind the Rally
- Ripple vs. SEC Resolution:
The market remains optimistic as Ripple inches closer to resolving its long-standing legal battle with the SEC. A favorable outcome could further boost investor confidence.
- Growing Utility:
XRP’s low transaction costs, speed, and scalability make it a preferred choice for cross-border payments and remittances, strengthening its fundamental value proposition.
- Institutional Interest:
Whales have been active in accumulating XRP, signaling confidence in its long-term potential. Tracking whale movements will be crucial in the coming weeks.
The Path to $2.02 and Beyond
XRP’s trajectory toward $2.02 hinges on its ability to sustain its current momentum. Here’s what traders and investors should watch:
Market Sentiment:Positive news regarding Ripple’s legal case or broader adoption of the XRPL could propel XRP higher.
Competition from Memecoins: With memecoins currently dominating the leaderboard, XRP must continue delivering on its fundamentals to stay relevant.
-Long-Term Outlook: A $202 Dream?
While the prospect of XRP reaching $202 seems far-fetched in the short term, the crypto market is known for its volatility and surprises. For now, patience and careful monitoring of key technical levels will be essential as XRP navigates its way through turbulent markets.
With a strong foundation, a growing ecosystem, and renewed investor interest, CRYPTOCAP:XRP is poised for exciting times ahead. Whether it’s $2.02 or beyond, the journey promises to be a thrilling ride for CRYPTOCAP:XRP enthusiasts.

XRP | Buy/Sell-side Imbalance\Inefficiency + Buy/Sell-side Liq.Markets consist of three things:
- Time
- Price
- Liquidity
All of the green lines represent Buy-side liquidity. All of the red lines represent sell-side liquidity. The price will seek areas that are inefficient in order to correct them, and it will also seek high concentrations of liquidity to fill large orders, and to stockpile coins for future market delivery.
Keep you eye's on these SIBI/BISI areas, as price will be drawn to them like a magnet.
SIBI -
Sell-side imbalance: There is an excessive supply of sell orders in the market, indicating a dominance of sellers.
Buy-side inefficiency: At the same time, there is a lack of effective buying pressure, meaning that buyers are not able to absorb the available sell orders.
BISI -
Buy-side imbalance: There is an excessive supply of buy orders in the market, indicating a dominance of buyers.
Sell-side inefficiency: At the same time, there is a lack of effective selling pressure, meaning that sellers are not able to absorb the available buy orders.

'THE XRP BREAKOUT CHART' - May predict the month of the breakoutTHE XRP BREAKOUT CHART is a chart I created to show a very interesting trend that I discovered within XRP's monthly chart. Four times in XRP's previous price action history, prior to periods of significant price appreciation, XRP formed a FVG (fair value gap), as shown in the white boxes, which consisted of three candles. Then, while within that FVG, price broke out on the 8th candle four consecutive times. Three of these four FVG breakouts were preceded by, or included, a single liquidation candle breaking below the lower trend line. Regarding current price action, we just saw the pattern liquidation candle this past July. So, it appears that this trend will continue for the next breakout of the current wedge pattern.
However, the key takeaway is that the pattern FVG has not formed, which means, as of this month (October), if the pattern is to repeat for a fifth time, then we are at a minimum of eight months away from the breakout we have all been waiting for.
The herd—retail investors and YouTube influencers—believe, in sync, that the breakout will begin in mid-December, continue through January, and peak around late February to early March. According to this chart, they’re all wrong.
I believe that incredible price appreciation is coming in the future, but I think this pattern will repeat. That means the breakout of the current wedge pattern, at the earliest, will be sometime around mid/late summer to early fall of 2025, most likely on the 8th monthly candle within the next FVG formation. But when will the first three candles form?
Good luck, and always use a stop loss!
XRP LIQUIDITY HUNT COULD CAUSE ANOTHER 18% - 19% DROP.XRP is very likely to seek liquidity below the lower wedge trend line before moving upward again. It's probable that the price will wick down to the $0.50 level to grab liquidity resting under the previous low. However, if it seeks additional liquidity, the price could drop to the $0.43 level before we see a significant reversal. If that occurs, this could be a great opportunity for a quick short to that level, followed by a reversal trade for the ride back up.
Good luck, and always use a stop-loss!
Feast your eyes on THE XRP MOON CHART!I've seen a metric ton of charts explaining why XRP is going to break out soon and run to new all-time highs, but I think this chart is the single most compelling chart of them all!
This is the 3-month chart, and although it doesn't provide us with an accurate breakout date, it does present a solid pattern that has been exhibited in the current wedge formation numerous times.
In the previous wedge, a drop below the trendline signaled a massive run up to the top trendline. From the previous wedge to the current wedge, and within that same wedge, each time the price dropped below the lower wedge trendline, it appreciated greatly, significantly piercing the top trendline area.
The current 3-month candle has dropped below the current wedge trendline, signaling another period of significant price appreciation to come. Since the current candle is very near the end of the wedge, it will most likely be the final appreciation period of the current pattern, not only piercing the upper trendline but also appreciating to the point that it establishes the beginning of a whole new, much higher-priced wedge in the process.
In the coming months, I believe there will come a point where XRP investors and spectators alike will all be picking their jaws up off the floor! If this plays out, it’s going to be incredible!
Enjoy the ride! It’s not getting to the top of the mountain that counts; it’s the journey that got you there that you will remember!
Good luck, and always use a stop loss!
THE PREDECTED 'FLASH-CRASH' WEEK IS UPON US!As I've stated in a previous post, I believe that a massive, market-wide liquidation event is coming within the next trading week (September 9th–15th). This chart pertains to what I believe we will see in XRP during this timeframe.
As predicted previously, I believe we will see a drop below $0.3838, between 33% and 50%, but it likely won't last too long before the price recovers and starts the beginning of the next bull run cycle.
Many people falsely believe that we are already in the bull run, but that's simply not true. The gains we have seen so far in some cryptos have just been a precursor to what is about to occur over the next 9 to 14 months in the new appreciation cycle. Anyone who says we're already in the bull market is just flat-out wrong. But never fear; it is about to start, though only after a major liquidation event occurs to fill the coffers of the market makers, who will sell all the way up, providing the needed liquidity to drive the price to new all-time highs.
Good luck, and enjoy the ride! Becoming a multimillionaire will be the best part. Once you get there, you won't even know what to do with all that money! Hopefully, something good for your community and the people in your life! Always be charitable and create the change that you would like to see in the world; don't wait for it—make it happen!
THE XRP ROADMAP TO GENERATIONAL WEALTH! (2024 - 2029)This is what I call the 'XRP Roadmap to Generational Wealth.' This roadmap takes into account many variables, is not to be taken as gospel, and will be changed and adapted as time passes.
This is just something I’ve been working on.

MASSIVE 33% to 50% DROP IN XRP COMING SEPT. 9th - 15th.I believe there is a massive drop coming for XRP during the week of September 9th through the 15th. Don’t ask how I came up with this prediction; it’s too complex to get into. I don’t know if the drop will be a massive red candle in a single day or if it will be a multi-day process to achieve these lows, but I’m predicting that the minimum price drop will be 33%, and it will most likely range between 33% ($0.3838) and 50% ($0.288) in total, somewhere between September 9th and September 15th (less than two weeks away). And if the price overshoots the low end of the prediction ($0.288), it may even drop as low as .18 cents, but likely won't hold long at the that price before rebounding.
For some, this will be the scariest moment in crypto. For others, it will be the buying opportunity of a lifetime. This most likely will not be limited only to XRP, and will be experienced throughout the overall crypto market.
Key takeaways from this prediction:
- Price will drop below $0.3838 sometime between Sept. 9th through the 15th.
- Price will go as low as $0.288.
- If the $0.288 level is broken, price may go as low as $0.18 cents momentarily (Refer to my chart below).
Keep some cash on the sidelines to purchase physical coins to add to your long-term XRP stack. This buying opportunity may last only minutes or could extend to days; only time will tell.
Let the countdown begin. And yes, I know this is a bold prediction, but I wouldn’t be sharing it if I didn’t believe it was actually going to happen, and yes, I may be wrong.
Good luck!
2 to 5 Risk vs. Reward XRP "ALL OR NOTHING" CUP & HANDLE TRADEXRP has formed a textbook cup-and-handle pattern on the hourly chart. It's currently working on forming the handle. I've placed what is known as a 'suicide' trade, meaning that if it fails, you lose everything you risked, but if it succeeds, you can make a fantastic profit.
I would generally never make a trade like this, as they are too risky. However, with the cup-and-handle formation identified, these moves tend to be a bit more predictable. Since I’ve gained over $1,700 in the past three trading days, I’m willing to take a little risk here.

Small 1 to 2 Risk vs. Reward XRP SHORT TRADE $500 at 25XThis is a risky time to enter this trade, but I'm going to take a small short position against XRP in an attempt to capture a potential correction to the bottom of the forming wedge pattern as the bull flag is forming. I'm not going to risk much; it’s more of a hunch. Overall, I'm very bullish on XRP right now, but as a trader, I can't help but try to capture this potential red candle.

2 to 1 Risk vs Reward XRP attempted recover trade. $1,000 @ 30X.I got caught slippin' on that last trade by the big red candle of death, and had a small loss. This is why I reduced the size of the 2nd trade, just in case this happened. In an attempt to recover, I placed a market order at what I hope is the bottom.
We'll see how this trade goes.
2 to 1 Risk vs. Reward, XRP TRADE SETUP AT 30X LEVERAGE ON $500.My last trade went perfectly according to plan. I'm going to attempt a secondary trade based on the same premise, but this time, I will try to capture the retest of the .583 level. To reduce my risk, since the first trade was a success, I've reduced the dollar amount in the trade by 50% to avoid giving back too much of the profit from the previous trade, assuming I'm wrong on this one. I have also reduced the risk-to-reward ratio by 20% on the reward size to make the trade a little easier to achieve.
Limiting losses is key to successful trading.

2.5 to 1 Risk vs. Reward, XRP TRADE SETUP. XRP is looking ripe for a nice bounce here. Now that the price is resting on top of the upper trend line, it's looks like a great opportunity to put on a small trade. I really like this setup here, especially going into Sunday, as I think a lot of people are looking to add to their XRP positions at these levels before it hits the .60 cent level again.
I may be a little early on this trade, but with the risk vs. reward, I think it's worth a shot.

UPDATED XRP Cup & Handle Chart.Since identifying the Cup & Handle pattern in XRP months ago, I have been updating it as the price movement continues to progress. With the major drop we've seen the past two days, it actually lined up the Fibonacci levels nearly perfect to the chart.
I do believe this is the end on the wave 2, and will ear-mark the beginning of wave 3 which will be spectacular for the price of XRP.

XRP FALLS OFF A CLIFF! BREAKING THE JUNE 18, 2022 TREND LOW.XRP has been absolutely struggling to hold even mediocre gains as of late, and has now broken the June 18, 2022 trend low, which has held for a year and ten months.
Is this a disaster for the XRP price in the coming weeks, or be an incredible buying opportunity?
Let me know what you think in the comments below.
XRP's Wave 2 is nearly complete. A BIG MOVE IS COMING!XRP is getting close to completing the 2nd Wave of the 5 Wave move to the upside after breaking out of the Cup & Handle formation that I identified in my earlier posts these past few months. It looks like we could see a turn around, and the start of the 3rd Wave around, or shortly after the eclipse.
Good luck, and always use a stop-loss!
XRP Head & Shoulders + Wave Count Chart.XRP is currently in an ABC correction pattern that is forming a perfect Head & Shoulders pattern. If price action continues to drop, I expect it to hit the lower range of the descending wedge indicated by the purple box, which could act as a launching pad for the next wave up.
Good luck, and always use a stop-loss!
