 <p class="paragraph">The XRP community continues to await a possible price breakout, potentially reclaiming the $1 mark after years of extended consolidation. This comes as the token’s parent company, Ripple, remains embroiled in a legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, crypto analyst <em>Egrag Crypto</em> believes historical <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> movements suggest that XRP might be on the verge of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="explosive" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/explosive.html">explosive</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="action" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/action.html">action</a>, potentially driving the value above $1.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In an X (formerly Twitter) post on April 20, the analysis suggested that XRP’s dominance rests on a historical support line around the $0.50 zone, drawing parallels to patterns observed in 2017 and 2021.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">According to the expert, the support line could provide the basis for XRP to break out, noting that the token has built a reputation for recording rapid and powerful price surges from such positions.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-xrp-s-areas-to-watch-nbsp">XRP’s areas to watch&nbsp;</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">If this scenario unfolds, the analyst identified potential targets for XRP’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> movement, pinpointing Fibonacci levels between $1.2 and $1.6 as critical areas of interest. These levels serve as crucial indicators for traders and investors, signaling potential <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> targets and resistance levels.</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  <p class="paragraph">“Historically, XRP has exhibited rapid and powerful pumps. Could we witness a similar move soon? Potential targets begin at Fib levels 1.272, 1.414, and 1.618,” the analyst said.&nbsp;</p>
 </blockquote>
 <p class="paragraph">For XRP to realize the projected valuation, the token must sustain its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> above the psychological $0.50 level, which currently serves as a critical support point. This level could also help the token breakout of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="consolidation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/consolidation.html">consolidation</a> above the $0.70 mark.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Meanwhile, the SEC case weighs on determining XRP’s next move. The case is approaching a potential conclusion, with the SEC urging a New York judge to impose a hefty, nearly $2 billion fine against Ripple Labs.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Beyond the case, XRP could also find support from Ripple Labs’ potential stablecoin launch. It’s worth noting that Ripple intends to unveil its stablecoin, which entails a 1:1 peg with the US dollar and is backed 100% by US dollar deposits, short-term government treasuries, and other cash equivalents.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-xrp-price-analysis">XRP price analysis</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">By press time, XRP was trading at $0.52218, ranking among the biggest gainers in the crypto market in the last 24 hours with a rise of 4%. However, on the weekly chart, XRP is down 1.6%.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Overall, the short-term price movement could indicate that XRP’s movement suggests a successful bullish breakout, likely to transition into a sustained rally. However, sustainability largely depends on how the general market moves.</p>
