- XRP’s six-month consolidation may end soon as bullish technical signals emerge
- Breakout above the $2.4–$2.5 resistance zone could ignite a strong XRP rally
- Analysts forecast a potential XRP surge to $4 if market momentum confirms breakout
XRP appears to be nearing the end of a prolonged consolidation phase, which began after its rapid surge to multi-year highs in late 2024. For nearly six months, the digital asset has been caught in a tight trading range, frustrating investors and fueling heated speculation.
However, new technical signals suggest that XRP could be ready to break free from this range, with analysts setting ambitious short-term targets. If market conditions align, XRP might rise to new all-time highs, potentially reaching $4 in the coming months.
Six Months of Price Stagnation May Be Ending
Following a strong rally in November 2024, triggered in part by Donald Trump’s re-election, XRP spiked from $0.50 to $2.90 by early December. Since then, it has remained largely range-bound, fluctuating between $2 and $3.
Despite brief movements outside this range such as a drop to $1.60 and a spike to $3.30 the asset has struggled to maintain any directional momentum.
This stagnation has tested both bulls and bears. Sellers consistently block advances near the $3 level, while buyers defend the $2 support zone. Consequently, the price has formed a wide consolidation range, with increased volatility around key levels.
Technical Signs Signal Impending Breakout
According to analyst Poseidon, XRP is now displaying multiple bullish signals that could indicate an impending breakout. He pointed to a failed breakdown earlier this month that swiftly reversed, followed by a recovery above the 200 EMA on the 12-hour chart. Additionally, XRP reached a higher high at $2.36 on May 26, suggesting renewed upward strength.

6 months of consolidation now appears to be reconsolidating before new highs.
We’ve seen a failed breakdown, a reclaim of the H12 EMA 200, and now a first higher high, all clear signs of strength.

A descending trendline from the May 12 high of $2.60 has created a clear resistance zone. Poseidon believes that a clean move above $2.40 would signal a decisive breakout. If that happens, he expects XRP to rally toward $4 a 74% increase from current levels.
Dom Tracks XRP vs Oil for Further Clarity
Market strategist Dom is also watching XRP closely. He tracks the XRP/USOIL chart and believes XRP shows hidden strength there. He argues that $2.47 on the USD chart is the critical breakout level. According to Dom, any movement below that mark is just market noise and not a trend reversal.

Despite all the noise, the USOIL pairing continues to win and provide a very clear picture

Moreover, both analysts agree that the recent consolidation could act as a strong launchpad. If XRP clears the $2.4–$2.5 resistance zone, a rapid surge could follow.
