A fresh technical signal has Ripple traders on alert. XRP formed a 5-day MACD Golden Cross-an event that preceded its record run last summer-while holding above the crucial $2 support.
Bullish Signal Returns
Technical observer ChartNerd flagged the crossover, noting the MACD line has flipped above the signal line and the histogram turned green.
> “The last time this signal printed was in July, where $XRP rallied to a new ATH,” he said.
The token’s RSI also flashed what Steph Is Crypto calls a “powerful” long-term bullish cue.
Key Levels to Watch
- Resistance: $2.2770 must break to sustain momentum
- Support: $2.00 is the daily line in the sand
- Downturn target: A failed retest risks a drop to $1.80
CRYPTOWZRD warns that weakness near $2.2770 could invite short positions.
Long-Term Outlook
Research group InvestingHaven maps a path to $8 by 2026, implying 247% upside from current prices. The view hinges on continued ETF inflows and network adoption.
On-chain flows echo late-2024 behavior: XRP is moving off exchanges like Binance and Upbit, a setup that preceded prior price spikes.
Key Takeaways
- Golden Cross on the 5-day MACD mirrors the July 2024 breakout template
- Monthly gains of 25% leave XRP at a decisive technical junction
- $2.2770 clearance could propel price toward $2.75; failure risks $1.80
- $8 target for 2026 contingent on ETF demand and sustained adoption
With volume holding near $3.86 billion, the next 48 hours may decide whether bulls defend $2 or bears drag XRP below $1.80.
