A recent analysis of XRP’s price movement using the Ichimoku Cloud framework has identified a potential window for a significant price surge, according to Dr. Pastet, a well-known cryptocurrency analyst.
The analysis, which focuses on key components of the Ichimoku Cloud, suggests that XRP might be preparing for a sharp upward move by late December 2024 or early January 2025. This potential rally depends largely on whether current market conditions persist.
In his assessment, Dr. Pastet emphasized several elements of the Ichimoku Cloud, such as the Kumo Cloud, Tenkan-Sen, Kijun-Sen, and the Chikou Span.
These components provide insight into the price trend, support, and resistance levels. Specifically, the Chikou Span, which reflects past price movements, has drawn attention due to its alignment with key support levels in XRP’s current price trajectory.
XRP’s price has exhibited a consolidation pattern, fluctuating between $0.46 and $0.65 for much of 2024, with intermittent spikes above $0.70 and dips toward $0.40. This sideways movement has been accompanied by signals of indecision in the market, with wicks on the weekly chart further highlighting uncertainty.
Dr. Pastet has noted that if the Chikou Span continues on its present course, XRP could see a breakout, potentially triggering a major rally. He believes this price movement could occur “out of the blue” in late December 2024 or early January 2025.
Dr. Pastet’s analysis also highlights the Kumo cloud’s thinning around early January 2025, a factor that may play a critical role in enabling an upward breakout. The Kumo cloud represents a zone of support and resistance, and when it becomes thin, the market is more vulnerable to sudden movements because the cloud offers less resistance.
In the first week of January 2025, the cloud will be relatively thin, which could increase the chances of a significant price movement if XRP maintains its current consolidation pattern.
If XRP continues to trade within its established range and maintains a stable position through the end of December, the likelihood of a sharp upward move increases. However, this scenario is contingent on the market continuing its current behavior without major disruptions.
The convergence of several Ichimoku Cloud signals has heightened anticipation of a bullish breakout for XRP. The alignment of the Chikou Span with major support levels and the thinning Kumo cloud creates a high-probability setup for a strong rally.
Dr. Pastet has suggested that if the token holds its ground around the end of 2024, this convergence of technical factors could trigger a significant price increase.
Nevertheless, the analyst cautioned that this potential rally depends on XRP’s ability to maintain its consolidation pattern in the coming weeks.
While a breakout could theoretically occur before the end of 2024, the most likely time frame remains late December 2024 through early January 2025, when the technical indicators point to a more favorable environment for a price surge.
In support of Dr. Pastet’s long-term outlook, another analyst, TraderSZ, has also weighed in on XRP’s short-term price movements.
TraderSZ has pointed out that XRP is trading in a tight range, with mid-range resistance at $0.6086 and strong support around $0.4870. According to his daily chart analysis, XRP is hovering near $0.5480, a critical level that could signal the start of a bullish trend.
TraderSZ has initiated a long position near this level. If XRP can break above the resistance at $0.6086, the next key resistance area would be around $0.6889. Beyond this, the price could target the 2022 high of $0.9260. However, should the token lose support at $0.5283, it may drop toward lower support levels near $0.4870.
Dr. Pastet and TraderSZ present a cautiously optimistic outlook for the token, with potential for a major rally as early as late December 2024, especially if current price consolidation continues.
While short-term fluctuations may occur, the long-term technical indicators, including the Chikou Span and the thinning Kumo cloud, suggest that XRP could be primed for a strong upward move by early 2025.
However, these predictions rely heavily on the persistence of current market conditions and the absence of disruptive events in the cryptocurrency space.
