While Ripple's native token, XRP, has already seen an 85% increase since the start of 2023, crypto analysts are expressing optimism for further gains. Renowned Twitter user JD suggests the possibility of a "Golden Cross," indicating a potential upward trajectory that could propel XRP to new highs, potentially reaching $24 by the end of 2024. The Golden Cross, a bullish chart pattern where the short-term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average, has historically triggered significant price surges in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC).
Should the overall bullish market conditions persist or improve, Ripple's XRP could experience an uptrend by the close of 2023. Recent record highs for major digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana, and Cardano (ADA), along with the global crypto market cap briefly surpassing $1.7 trillion, contribute to the favorable market sentiment (according to CoinGecko’s data).
On-chain metrics also provide indications of a potential surge. xrpscan reports that daily XRP transactions have consistently exceeded 1 million in the last week. Furthermore, the number of XRP wallets is steadily approaching the 5 million milestone.
Investors and analysts are closely monitoring these developments, anticipating a super bullish pattern for Ripple's XRP and the possibility of a substantial rally in the near future.
