TL;DR

• XRP surpassed $0.62, its highest since August, and remains bullish despite a slight drop to around $0.60, with positive market sentiment.
• Analyst Dark Defender predicts a potential rally to $0.66 by week’s end, with an optimistic long-term forecast of reaching $18.22 if it surpasses the $1.88 Fibonacci level.
• A more conservative prediction from analyst CrediBull sees XRP potentially rising to $0.90 by the summer of 2024, provided it maintains above the $0.40-$0.50 support zone.

XRP to Skyrocket by 3,000%?

Ripple’s native token – XRP – recently surpassed the $0.62 level (for the first time since August) and has been among the best-performing crypto assets in the past several weeks. Despite today’s slight plunge to approximately $0.60 (per CoinGecko’s data), the overall sentiment surrounding the coin remains bullish.

One popular analyst, using the X (Twitter) handle Dark Defender, believes XRP is poised for a rally toward $0.66 by the end of this week and a further explosion in the following months. They think its uptrend could continue all the way to $18.22, assuming it closes above the $1.88 Fibonacci target, which was set as “a short-term target.”

“We have one mid-level resistance @ $1.05 after eliminating $0.66. I don’t think XRP will stay long around the $1 level since the Sub-Wave 3 has 3 main targets: $1.88, $5.85 & $18.22 Par/SAR indicator is expected to turn green soon, which will add volume to the move. We are above Ichimoku in the weekly, which is positive,” the analyst surmised.
