Within the last seven days, XRP has faced a decrease in price of 5.5%. There is still a downward pressure on the coin. This is a continued pattern that indicates greater market pressures on Ripple.

Analysts continue to be optimistic regarding the future direction of XRP. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that XRP is moving in a triangle pattern. If the token breaks above $3.26, it may go to the $3.90 mark. This breakout may trigger a fresh surge of bullishness that will give XRP a boost towards its comeback.

XRP Approaches Key Resistance, Eyes $3.70 Breakout

Moreover, another analyst, CoinCodeCap Trading, mentioned that XRP is on the brink of a major resistance area at $3.50 to $3.70. Once cryptocurrency overcomes this point, it might reach $3.85, $4.15, and $4.53. Such a massive price rally may see Ripple reach as high as $5.64 should the rally persist after such price points. 

Ripple has been volatile in the recent past. Once the $2.50 and the 200-day simple moving average had been breached, it had reached an all-time high of $3.66, up 40%. As the token edges closer to the $3.50-$3.70 bracket, interest lies in whether it will conquer this major resistance point.

The analysts are optimistic about the potential dismissal of the SEC suit and the corporate treasury’s purchase of $400 million in Ripple. A favorable catalyst is also the possibility of a 2025 XRP spot ETF. These developments have the potential to push cryptocurrency above resistance and towards increased values.

In the near future, the Ripple outlook is neutral, and the medium term looks to be bullish. Its long-term outlook also looks positive in case the token breaks through resistance points. Ripple has support at $3.00 and $2.50 and resistance at $3.50 to $4.00. A breakout above $3.70 can lead to a sharp price increase to above $4.

Open Interest Declines, Market Sentiment Remains Neutral

According to CoinGlass data, Ripple trading volume is down 45.37% to reach $8.49 billion. The open interest has decreased by 0.99 percent to $8.13 billion. The OI-weighted funding rate is 0.0067%, which gives a neutral market sentiment.
