Popular market analyst Egrag Crypto has tipped XRP to soon hit the $2.90 price mark. This prediction comes amidst little movement in the XRP market following a consolidation between $2.25-$2.50 over the past few days. The altcoin emerged as one of the biggest market gainers post-US elections rising by over 340% since November 5. However, XRP alongside crypto market leader Bitcoin has only seen little gains so far in December.\n<\/p>\n
In an X post on December 14<\/a>, Egrag Crypto shares a potential price trajectory for XRP to reach $2.90.\u00a0<\/p>\n Firstly, the analyst notes the asset has been moving between $2.27-$2.50 confirming a market move to gather momentum for a major price breakout in an upward direction. This notion follows a previous prediction whereby a price fall below $2.27 could have set XRP for a decline to around $2.17.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, in order to initiate any uptrend, Egrag stresses it is important that XRP closes above $2.50 on its hourly chart, which should result in a significant price gain. Thereafter, the altcoin is expected to retest $2.60. This suggests the need for market bulls to mount high-buying activity at this price level which is to function as a strong support zone that propels future price gain.<\/p>\n Following a successful retest at $2.60, Egrag predicts XRP will resume its bullish trajectory, reaching a local peak of $2.90, leaving the asset just 24.4% away from its all-time high.<\/p>\n Following XRP\u2019s price surge in November, analysts have re-echoed the possibility<\/a> of the altcoin mirroring its first-ever major bull run from 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n X analyst Crypto Bull has most recently<\/a> dropped a take on this discourse stating XRP could hit a new all-time high on exactly January 2 if the 2017 cycle repeat proves true. Furthermore, the crypto analyst also predicts altcoin to be trading at $10 on January 15 representing a potential 4.16x on XRP\u2019s current market price.\u00a0<\/p>\n Interestingly, certain XRP enthusiasts such as X user XRPE_Nomad expect<\/a> the altcoin to produce a better performance than from 2017 based on its increased utility and better regulatory clarity.\u00a0<\/p>\nXRP Potential 2017 Repeat Predicts New ATH In January<\/strong><\/h2>\n
