In the world of crypto trading, historical patterns and signals can be crucial in predicting future price movements. A recent technical analysis by Egrag Crypto has identified a bullish crossover between the 21 Exponential Moving Average (21 EMA) and the 55 Moving Average (55 MA) in the 2-week chart of XRP/USD. This pattern has historically led to significant price increases for XRP.The analysis highlights two previous instances when this bullish signal occurred. In March 2017, the XRP price saw a surge of 90% followed by an astonishing 1100% spike. The second occurrence happened in December 2020, resulting in a 100% increase in the first candle and an 84% surge in the second candle, amounting to a collective 200% upswing.Based on these historical runs, the analyst believes there is a high probability of a similar price increase happening again. The chart also features an ascending trend line, which XRP has tested twice in mid-2022 and early 2023. These tests suggest that each touch of the trend line is a support level where buyers enter the market, potentially leading to an upward movement.The analyst speculates that XRP may dip slightly more to touch the ascending trend line for a third time, which could serve as a buying opportunity before a significant price rally. After this third retest, two scenarios are envisioned based on the bullish crossover of the 21 EMA and 55 MA.Scenario A predicts a dramatic rise in the XRP price, with a target of $7.00, representing a staggering increase of 1,139.35% from the current price. Scenario B suggests a more conservative target of $1.80, still an impressive gain of 218.82%. The “No Return Zone” at the $1.80 level indicates a critical threshold that could act as a resistance zone or confirm a strong bullish momentum if the price sustains above it.It’s important to note that the Bitcoin price also plays a significant role in the altcoin market, including XRP. The analyst anticipates a potential alt season following a peak in Bitcoin price, with initial spikes in the range of $7 to $10, followed by a retracement and a further rise to levels of $20 to $30. The expected retracement from the $7-$10 range is estimated to be an aggressive drawdown of $1.3-1.5.At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.61095.
