XRP has emerged as a standout performer among the top-100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization today, recording a substantial 7% increase over the past 24 hours. This surge in XRPâs price occurs amidst swirling speculations of a forthcoming settlement or remedies ruling in the Ripple-SEC case.
Amid these developments, XRP is dominating discussions on X (formerly Twitter), where a flurry of optimistic posts paint a bullish scenario for the cryptocurrency. Among the vocal proponents contributing to this positive outlook is crypto analyst Doctor Magic (@Doctor_Magic_), who shared several different time frame analyses for XRP.
Short-Term Outlook For XRP (4-Hour Chart)
The first chart posted by the crypto analyst shows the XRP/USD trading pair on a 4-hour time frame. The chart highlights the currently most crucial resistance zone (in red) just above the $0.70 mark. This resistance level is critical, as Doctor Magic suggests that surpassing this could pivot XRP towards new all-time highs (ATHs).

However, he warns of potential short-term (LTF) rejections despite the higher time frame (HTF) indicators appearing bullish, advising traders to exercise caution with leverage long positions in this zone. âXRP most heavy resistance, get above that and we go for ATHs. Note that even though HTF XRP is primed on LTF this resistance could cause a LTF rejection, wouldnât jump into leverage longs here.â
The chart shows an uptrend line that XRP has successfully maintained, suggesting a strong bullish momentum. The focal point is the resistance zone above $0.70, which if breached, could potentially lead to higher price levels. The first target could be the price level above $0.90 which was last seen after the summary judgment by Analisa Torres on July 13 last year.
A crucial element in Doctor Magicâs analysis is the breakout observed in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI demonstrates a clear upward breach of its previous trendline, signaling robust momentum. Currently at 67, the RSI is approaching the overbought threshold, which could suggest some notably bullish days ahead for XRPâs price action if the cryptocurrency runs red hot.

Notably, the $0.70 zone as the key resistance area aligns with the Bollinger Bands analysis in the monthly chart. XRP surged above the middle band with the latest move and is now on the verge of breaking the upper band. âToday we confirm the breakout on monthly RSI. XRP is less than 10% to trigger volatility to come back which is at all time lows, $0.7 is the area to watch,â Doctor Magic explained.
Long-Term Prediction For XRP (Weekly Chart)
With regards to the higher time frames, Doctor Magic believes that it is too early to predict the cycle top price. Via X, he wrote, âMany of you are asking for my target on XRP, the answer is it depends. If I am right and alts lead the next leg up it will be the nail in the coffin for âitâs 2017 againâ and I will be looking for two tops, the second one will be determined by the first one.â
The chart shared by the crypto analyst highlights several key Fibonacci retracement levels derived from XRPâs historical price movements, which could serve as critical points for potential reversals or continuation of trends. These include the 0.618 Fibonacci level at approximately $0.91, indicating a moderate resistance point. The 0.786 level sits at around $1.61, serving as a stronger psychological and technical barrier.
The parity level or the 1 Fibonacci level is set at $3.31, which marked the April 2021 all-time high. Beyond this, the analysis extends into Fibonacci extension territory, with the 1.272 level at about $8.29, and the 1.414 level at roughly $13.37. The most notable and perhaps ambitious target is the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level, which is placed at approximately $26.60.
The analyst concluded, âMy point is itâs too soon to speak about final target, need more data for that and I will update when its time. For the impatient of you my best guess is we see double digits XRP and that $26.5 will be tagged.â
At press time, XRP traded at $0.6539.
