The past 24 hours have seen bullish momentum return to XRP, with the cryptocurrency now reclaiming the $2.5 price level. This bullish momentum comes after a seven-day stretch of range consolidation between resistance at $2.5 and support at $2.3. Despite this consolidation of the price, technical analysis shows that XRP is still trading in a bullish setup, especially on the daily candlestick timeframe. Notably, this bullish setup shows that the XRP price is about to make a new all-time high run to $5.
Bullish RSI Divergence And Strong Support Set The Stage
Technical analysis of the XRP price, which was posted on the TradingView platform, shows that the cryptocurrency is on the verge of a maximum surge in the coming weeks. Technical indicators play a crucial role in this outlook, which is currently bullish, despite the recent price downturn.

One such technical indicator is the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which measures momentum in price movements. The RSI, for one, is flashing a bullish divergence on the daily timeframe. This occurs when the RSI makes higher lows while price action makes lower lows, which is a signal of reversal to the upside.
Furthermore, technical analysis shows that despite the price downturn, XRP has managed to hold above strong support at $2. The ability of XRP to hold above the support means that the recent selling pressure wasn’t an XRP price weakness as many expect, but only a consequence of a wider downturn in the entire crypto market. With the bullish structure intact and selling pressure appearing to wane, the asset remains in a strong position for a renewed rally, with a $5 target in sight.
Can XRP Break Its All-Time High And Rally To $5?
XRP’s all-time high remains at $3.40 and has yet to return to this price level since January 7, 2018. However, the altcoin has been one of the best performers this cycle, and this all-time high might not stand for long. In a recent rally, the cryptocurrency surged to $3.36, only to face sharp rejection from bearish resistance just before breaking new ground.

A move to $5 would not only mark a new all-time high but also solidify XRP as the best performer this cycle. The path to this milestone, however, will require the cryptocurrency to overcome key resistance zones, particularly around the $2.8 and $3 levels, where selling pressure has shot up this cycle.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.51, having increased by about 4.5% in the past 24 hours. If bullish momentum continues to build and XRP successfully clears these barriers, the projected $5 price target could be within reach.
