XRP Continues To Pump
While writing, the XRP price jotted down an upswing of 4.55% in the past 24 hours, evaluating $0.6495. In addition to this, the token also witnessed a weekly surge of 7.34%. What’s even more fascinating is that the token briefly touched a weekly high of $0.6525 today, December 7.
Besides, the twenty-four-hour trading volume also experienced a substantial upswing of 37.60%, reaching $2.13 billion.
Furthermore, one of the leading crypto analysts, Dark Defender, recently proclaimed that the Ripple-backed cryptocurrency is now eyeing a new ATH.
However, another crypto analyst, Egrag Crypto, offered a short term analysis for the XRP cryptocurrency. According to Egrag, XRP is currently reflecting past price patterns within a Descending Channel (DC), aiming to break out of DC B and confront the challenge of surpassing it to reach Fib 0.5. Achieving Fib 0.5 at 0.7529c could pave the way for a potential move toward the 1.3-1.5$ range, indicating a possible shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
Moreover, crypto analysts Dark Defender and Muro Crypto, appear to be taking a stand with XRP portraying bullish market sentiments. According to these analysts, although a slow mover, the XRP token carries the potential to pump higher, along with a potential to reach a new ATH.
