Market participants believe it will take XRP several more quarters to rise above $1,50. And cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez sees no obvious barriers to reaching that level.

Как уже Reported Happy Coin News, Martinez noted the formation on the monthly chart XRP Ascending triangle. A monthly chart close above $3,66 would confirm the breakout and open the way to significantly higher price targets in the long term.

While the $3,66 level remains a major technical hurdle, XRP needs to break above the $2 mark first before challenging higher resistance zones.

Recent market activity data also shows that traders remain engaged despite the price decline. XRP saw elevated trading volumes in August, even as the token retreated from its recent highs around $1,70.

At press time, XRP was trading at $1,42, up 1% over the past 24 hours. On the weekly chart, the asset also showed a gain of almost 2%.

XRP's technical structure currently remains positive. At its current price, the token is trading above its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1,17 and its 200-day SMA at $1,27, suggesting continued bullish momentum in the medium to long term.

The gap between the current price and these moving averages suggests that buyers remain in control despite recent volatility.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 60,37 also provides support. This indicator remains in neutral territory, indicating bullish momentum without the market being overbought. This suggests that XRP still has potential to rise to 70, which often signals overheating.
