XRP Eyes $4 Breakout as Technical Signals and XRPL Upgrades Align

• XRP rebounds from $2.00 support with increasing volume and momentum.
• XRPL 2.5.0 introduces escrow, batch transactions, and DEX permissions.

XRP is attracting attention as it nears a potential breakout, driven by strong technical patterns and ecosystem developments. Crypto analyst Dr. Profit has identified a bullish consolidation pattern for XRP. The asset has been trading between a support level near $1.80 and a resistance level around $3.30. 

A weekly chart shared on Twitter shows XRP forming a strong structure within this range, suggesting accumulation ahead of a breakout. Dr. Profit, known for early XRP calls at $0.15, $0.38, and $0.50, now points to $4 as a possible mid-term target.

The current price of XRP sits at $2.1888. The chart analysis includes projected green arrows targeting a breakout, with a move beyond resistance possibly setting the stage for a surge toward $4.

Short-Term Indicators Suggest Imminent Price Movement

XRP is rebounding sharply from a key support zone between $1.90 and $2.00. The price has gained 8.77%, now hovering around $2.19. XRP is trading above the Ichimoku Cloud, a signal of underlying bullish strength. Analysts observe increasing volume and upward momentum, aligning with patterns that often precede breakout moves.

A descending triangle has formed over recent weeks, indicating tightening price action. When accompanied by rising volume, this pattern typically leads to a breakout. 

A decisive break above the trendline could open the path to new highs. However, failure to break may trigger a retest of the support level below.

XRP Ledger 2.5.0 Enhances Governance and Protocol Utility

RippleX has released XRP Ledger version 2.5.0, introducing seven protocol amendments that are now open for validator voting. New features include “TokenEscrow” for IOU and MPT escrows, and “Batch” for atomic transactions. The “PermissionedDEX” amendment supports controlled access to decentralized exchanges.

Other protocol changes aim to boost compliance and operational accuracy. These include “AMMv1_3” for AMM invariant enforcement and fixes like “EnforceNFTokenTrustlineV2” and “PayChanCancelAfter.” The update also improves multi-signature simulation and I/O performance. RippleX confirmed the addition of XRPL Commons as a Bootstrap Cluster, encouraging validators to upgrade promptly.

With technical momentum and infrastructure upgrades aligning, XRP remains on watch for a possible breakout heading into 2025.
