Technical analysis
The key development was the break above $1,426, which had acted as a ceiling during the recent consolidation. Once the level cleared with strong 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 convert the former resistance zone into support.
Momentum remains constructive as XRP remains 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 say will be next?
Traders are now focusing on whether XRP can hold support above the breakout level between $1.43 and $1.44.
If that zone holds, the token could extend the move towards $1.50 and potentially towards the $1.55 region as momentum builds.
However, a fall below $1.43 would weaken the breakout and could send XRP back to the previous consolidation range near $1.39-$1.40.
