“XRP has shown significant price movements with predictions and immediate targets around $0.66,” declared crypto YouTuber Raajeev Anand in a Sept. 29 post on X.“XRP could see a substantial increase, aiming for targets like $2 or even much higher figures like $4.2 or $9.98 due to bullish patterns observed in its chart.”


Anand explained that the market sentiment around XRP has been largely positive. Analysts point to formations like a breakout from a symmetrical triangle, a golden cross, and other bullish indicators suggesting strong momentum for further XRP price increases.

“The anticipation is fueled by [several] technical signals, indicating a robust bullish trend,” Anand added.


One of these indicators is the relative strength indicator (RSI), which has sent a rare bullish signal on the monthly chart, according to pseudonymous analyst Jadee_757.

Meanwhile, another crypto analyst, Captain Faibik, told his over 96,000 followers on X that the XRP price had completed and broken out of the falling wedge, confirming a massive breakout for the token’s price toward $3.9. However, they set the short-term target to $2.3.Source:Captain Faibik

The surge in the price of Ripple’s XRP on Sept. 29 comes after a significant jump in its open interest (OI). Open interestis a key metric that traders and analysts use to assess market sentiment and anticipate future price movements. 


XRP’s IO started rising on Sept. 7, rising approximately 67%, to reach $932.3 million on Sept. 29, in tandem with the price. The last time XRP’s open interest reached these levels was on April 12, 2024.XRP open interest across all exchanges. Source: CoinGlass


Note that when prices rise along with an increase in OI, that is often indicative of a trend that is probably going to continue.

Note that the current 0.0113% eight-hour rate translates to a 0.23% cost over a seven-day period, which is significant for traders building futures positions.


Increasing funding ratestypically suggest that futures traders are bullish, expecting future price increases, which may indicate a continuation of the uptrend.
