But can its rally continue after nearly reaching $1?28568 Total views14 Total sharesListen to article 0:00Altcoin WatchJoin us on social networksThe price of XRP (XRP) has skyrocketed after a federal court ruling declaring that its sales on crypto exchanges complied with United States securities laws.

On July 14, the XRP price retreated by about 10% to $0.76, but compared with its lowest price the previous day, it was still up around 65%.

Certain indicators show that XRP’s ongoing price pump may not be just a short-term reaction to the positive news for Ripple.

For instance, the duration of XRP’s massive pump coincides with its trading volumes reaching a 10-month high. Meanwhile, the number of XRP whale transactions — wallets holding more than $100,000 — climbed to their best level in 2023, suggesting that the wealthiest investors back the XRP rally.

“If key whale and shark addresses are increasing their supply going into this pump, then it is a get foreshadowing signal that the pump may just be getting started, and it’s a sign of good things to come,” stated Brian Q, an analyst at data analytics platform Santiment.Whale transaction count (>$100K).

Furthermore, the XRP price gains come in line with a rise in the supply held by entities with a 100,000–10 million token balance.XRP supply held by whales. Source: Santiment

From a technical standpoint, XRP can test the key $1 level in the coming days, but its potential to continue its rally beyond looks weak for the time being.

Notably, the pullback on July 14 occurred near a resistance confluence comprising a multiyear horizontal trendline (purple) and a giant descending trendline ceiling (black).

Should a pullback occur, XRP price risks dropping toward its multiyear ascending trendline support near $0.45 by September, down around 55% from the current price level.

Other price targets include the token’s 50-week exponential moving average (50-week EMA; the red wave) near $0.48 and 200-week EMA (the blue wave) near $0.50.

On the other hand, an overbought RSI could also result in the XRP price consolidating sideways inside the $0.75–$1 range.XRP/USD weekly price chart. Source: TradingView

If the XRP price decisively breaks above $1, then its next price target by September will likely be near $1.35, a resistance level from the August to December 2021 session.
