The MA50, at $2.33, is the near term support, closely aligning with recent price actions, while the MA200 at $1.94 provides long term support. A break above $2.50 could see a retest of the $2.70-$2.87 range, while a breakdown could lead to a retracement toward $2.33 or lower.
Bullish Breakout Suggests Potential Upside
XRP recently broke above a descending channel’s upper resistance near $2.40, suggesting a bullish breakout. Historically, breakouts from such patterns led to upward moves. Support now is at the breakout level of $2.40, with the next major resistance around $2.87.

This breakout could potentially lead XRP to approximately $3.60, according to Captain Faibik. The current market outlook is positive, supported by increased buying pressure. If XRP maintains $2.40, it could attract more buyers, reinforcing the bullish sentiment.
However, failure to hold this level could lead to a retest of the $2.00 support. The hope surrounding the SEC’s potential withdrawal of its appeal by January 15 could further influence XRP’s movement, possibly pushing it toward $3 or higher.
