XRP, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has captured significant attention following its sustained rally above $2. For the first time since 2018, XRP has crossed this critical threshold, recently peaking at $2.86.
Market participants now closely monitor the asset as it enters a potential consolidation phase as various technical and fundamental indicators point to continued momentum.
Random Crypto Pal (@RandomCryptoPal), a crypto analyst on X, recently shared a notable observation. The analyst posted a chart showing XRP’s daily price movements, depicting the formation of triangles and a consolidation pattern showing squares over the past few days.

What Does This Pattern Mean?
The pattern often signifies indecision in the market, leading to a breakout in either direction. For XRP holders, this could present an opportunity if the breakout aligns with the ongoing bullish sentiment.
XRP’s price has established support near $2.20 as indicated by the chart. The consolidation triangle, a classic continuation pattern, suggests that volatility may soon return. Historically, this setup has often preceded significant price moves, and given the current macro and technical trends, a bullish breakout could propel XRP toward testing new highs above $3.
Market participants will likely watch this closely in the coming days as the asset approaches the triangle’s apex. If it can cross $3 and hit $3.288 as another analyst recently predicted, that could begin a run to $27.

Positive Momentum and Notable Developments
The upward movement in XRP’s price coincides with broader optimism in the cryptocurrency space. One of the most impactful recent announcements is the resignation of SEC Chair Gary Gensler, scheduled for January 20, 2025. His tenure created regulatory challenges for the crypto industry, most notably the lawsuit against Ripple.
The nomination of Paul Atkins, a crypto-friendly advocate, as Gensler’s successor has further fueled optimism. Analysts anticipate that the incoming administration will adopt a less adversarial stance on crypto-related matters, potentially ending the SEC’s prolonged legal battle with Ripple.
Although there’s a chance the asset could fall if it cannot hold above the resistance, other analysts have also shown bullish signals on XRP’s chart. XRP is currently trading at $2.18, this consolidation could lead to massive gains if the digital asset can break out.
