As the cryptocurrency market faces a significant price
correction—led by Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which have
retraced 2.2% and 4.6% respectively—the XRP price shows early signs
of a potential explosive surge. Currently trading at $2.21, the XRP
price has recorded a nearly 5% gain in the past 24 hours, finding
strong support just below its current price. This positions the
token favorably for continued upward momentum, particularly since
it began an upward trend on November 5, bolstered by
President-elect Donald Trump’s re-election. $10.82 Target For The
XRP Price Following Historical Patterns Interestingly, analysts are
increasingly optimistic about the XRP price, especially considering
a key technical indicator: the Bollinger Bands. This volatility
indicator, which consists of a moving average and upper and lower
bands, is currently tightening on the 12-hour chart. Related

Analyst Steph has noted that the last time the Bollinger Bands
exhibited such a pattern, the XRP price experienced a staggering
490% price explosion. If history repeats itself, this could
propel XRP to a new all-time high of $10.82, significantly
surpassing its previous record of $3.40 set in January 2018,
according to the analyst. Adding to the bullish sentiment, another
analyst known as Javon on X (formerly Twitter) has pointed out that
XRP’s last full bull cycle saw an increase of over 600%. The
analyst suggests that if the XRP price performs similarly, it could
rise dramatically, potentially exceeding 6,800% to reach
approximately $168. This projection hinges on the price
moving above the 2.414 Fibonacci Extension level, which was valued
at $3,06 during the previous cycle. However, some analysts are
adopting a more conservative outlook. Key Levels At $2.42 And
$2.92 In Focus DarkDefender has noted a clear break on the daily
chart, predicting that the XRP price could retest the $2.42
level before breaking through $2.92. Should it surpass this
threshold, targets of $3.43 and $5.85 could be in sight.
DarkDefender had recently targeted $2.72, which the XRP price had
successfully bounced back from, reaffirming the validity of his
analysis. Related Reading: 400 Billion Shiba Inu Moved: Is A SHIB
Price Crash Coming? Despite differing views on the potential extent
of the surge, consensus among analysts is that the XRP price is
likely to reach a new all-time high in the coming months. This
optimism is further strengthened by the possibility of regulatory
changes under the incoming Trump administration. The
President-elect has promised a new regulatory framework for digital
assets in the United States, which could pave the way for resolving
the prolonged legal battle between Ripple Labs and the US
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which previously stifled
the XRP price, leading to a lengthy period of consolidation.
