The breakout is accompanied by an increase in trading volume and signals strong bullish momentum. XRP expects a rise towards the 1.618 Fibonacci level near $3.00, which is now acting as major resistance. The potential upside target thereafter is the 2.618 Fib level near $4.67, representing a 75% increase from current price levels.
However, the weekly RSI is showing warning signs, recording an extremely overbought level of 92.37 – a level not seen in years. Historically, such metrics have preceded corrections or periods of consolidation.
Should a correction occur, immediate support lies in the $1.97-$2.00 area (the 1.0 Fibonacci level and the previous breakout point). Should bearish momentum strengthen, a deeper correction could test the triangle’s upper trendline at $1.60 or the 50-week EMA at $0.75.
