Is XRP Preparing for Another Major Rally?<\/h2>\n

Ripple\u2019s<\/span> XRP remains one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies since <\/span>the election of Donald Trump<\/span> as <\/span>America\u2019s<\/span> next president.\u00a0<\/span>Recall that the asset\u2019s price was hovering below $0.55 before the voting on November 5 last year, while two months later, it\u00a0skyrocketed<\/a> to almost $3.40 or just 1% away from reaching its all-time high (according to CoinGecko\u2019s data).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past few weeks, XRP <\/span>witnessed some<\/span> turbulence, <\/span>with its<\/span> valuation briefly plummeting<\/a> below $2.80 on January 27. In the following days, the bulls managed to recover some of the lost ground, <\/span>and the<\/span> price is currently set at around $3.10.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Numerous pro-XRP analysts, who did not lose hope even during the bear market, have recently filled X with optimistic predictions. Some examples include JackTheRippler and EGRAG CRYPTO. The former <\/span>claimed<\/span><\/a> the price<\/span> \u201c<\/span>has never been so long in the $2-$3 range in its entire history,<\/span>\u201d <\/span>envisioning a <\/span>major<\/span> bull run once the consolidation ends. For their part, EGRAG CRYPTO <\/span>believes<\/span><\/a> XRP could go into uncharted territory if it breaks above $3.40.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly, some industry participants who have not been so kind to <\/span>Ripple\u2019s<\/span> native token have also changed their stance. The X user Crypto Beast <\/span>predicted<\/span><\/a> that XRP might skyrocket to $15 if banks <\/span>around the world<\/span> integrate the token into their systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI<\/span> used to be an XRP hater.. now I love it,<\/span>\u201d <\/span>they said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Veteran trader Peter Brandt is another example. Earlier this month, he <\/span>apologized<\/span><\/a> to the XRP community for his past criticism, making several bullish forecasts. Most recently, he <\/span>spotted<\/span><\/a> the formation of a bull flag on the <\/span>asset\u2019s<\/span> price chart, indicating potential gains in the near future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LTC in the Spotlight<\/span><\/h2>\n

While most leading cryptocurrencies have underperformed in the past week, <\/span>this is not the case with<\/span> Litecoin (LTC). It is up <\/span>by<\/span> 12% for that timeframe<\/span>, currently trading<\/span> at roughly $130.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most <\/span>important<\/span> factor contributing to its rally is\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span> US <\/span>SEC\u2019s<\/span> acknowledgment<\/span><\/a> of Canary <\/span>Fund\u2019s<\/span> intention to launch a spot LTC exchange-traded fund (ETF). The product (if officially approved by the regulator) will enable additional options for investors to gain exposure to the asset and could positively affect the price in the long term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Several market observers have noted the resurgence, envisioning further gains for LTC. The X user Mac <\/span>assumed<\/span><\/a> the price could rise to $200, whereas JAVON MARKS <\/span>set<\/span><\/a> a potential target of over $350.

BTC Price Outlook<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lastly, we will touch upon the primary cryptocurrency, which has been hovering in the wide range of $98K \u2013 $106K in the last seven days. <\/span><\/p>\n

The local bottom <\/span>occurred<\/span><\/a> at the start of the business week when many other digital assets suffered losses due to the overall market decline. However, Bitcoin (BTC) witnessed a substantial recovery and touched $106,000 following Jerome <\/span>Powell\u2019s<\/span> press conference<\/span><\/a> after the latest FOMC meeting. As of writing these lines, it is trading at approximately $104,300.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, <\/span>many<\/span> analysts believe the asset has yet to hit new peaks during this bull run. Ali Martinez, for instance, <\/span>claimed<\/span><\/a> the valuation could surpass $184,000 before a potential cycle shift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
