XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) broke above key resistance Sunday, with analyst Ali Martinez flagging $1.70 as the next target.
Ali Martinez posted that XRP has confirmed a bullish breakout near $1.40, clearing resistance on the hourly chart and pointing toward the next target at $1.70.
He previously marked $1.35-$1.38 as the main demand zone after approximately 3.2 billion XRP traded within that range. Holding this area keeps the breakout intact.
The next resistance levels sit at $1.60, $1.68 and $1.86. A move above $1.86 could open a path toward $2.19, where another 3.12 billion XRP previously changed hands.
Why One Analyst Sees $50 From Here
EGRAG Crypto said on X that XRP is approaching a possible retest of its 300-week moving average, currently near $1.03 and rising.
Under his analysis, a decline toward $1-$1.10 would not automatically invalidate the bullish structure. XRP would need to reclaim the moving average and hold it before targeting higher levels.
His macro roadmap from that base:
- $1.65 — first major reclaim, confirmation improves
- $2 to $2.80 — structural resistance zone
- $15, $27, $50 — longer-term expansion targets as the channel opens
“The market may use news to create fear,” EGRAG wrote. “But structure tells us whether that fear is an opportunity,” he added.
