XRP News Today: XRP Surges 42% as Technical Breakout Targets $4.50

XRP has demonstrated a robust 42% rally, breaking through a long-term descending resistance channel that had constrained price movement since early 2025. This breakout, highlighted by @SolbergInvest, marks a significant shift in momentum and has positioned the altcoin toward a mid-term price target of $4.50 [1]. The move suggests a continuation of strong buying interest and technical strength, with the yellow trendline reinforcing the bullish structure on the XRP/USDT chart.

A key feature supporting this upward trajectory is the strong accumulation zone between $1.80 and $2.00, which has functioned as a reliable base for previous price rebounds. After the most recent retest of this support, XRP entered a prolonged rally, confirming the zone’s role as a springboard for further gains [1]. Analysts consider this type of base crucial for validating breakout strength and ensuring that short-term corrections do not undermine the broader bullish trend.

Following the initial breakout, XRP entered a brief consolidation phase under a descending trendline. However, this short-term resistance was quickly overcome, further fueling momentum and bringing the $4.50 target back into focus. @SolbergInvest’s analysis indicates a potential for an additional 42% upside from current levels, with the price currently trading near $3.217 [1]. Institutional research desks have also aligned with this view, identifying $4.50–$5.00 as mid-term goals [2].

Positive derivatives activity and increasing volume have added to the technical optimism. A daily close above $3.60 is seen as a critical threshold that could trigger a move toward $4.50–$5.20 [1]. Key analysts have emphasized the psychological significance of the $3.7 level, noting that a breakout with rising volume could drive prices toward $4.4 and beyond [3]. This momentum is part of a broader trend where XRP outperforms many of its altcoin counterparts, reinforcing its position as a top-performing digital asset.

The rally has also been partly attributed to the Ripple-SEC settlement, which has reduced regulatory uncertainty and boosted investor confidence [2]. While long-term price projections, such as $26.50 by 2030 or $526 by 2050, are speculative, they reflect bullish sentiment rather than current market fundamentals [4]. Analysts continue to monitor key resistance levels, with a failure to maintain above $3.60 potentially signaling a pause in the bullish momentum [1].
