Why is XRP Price Going Up Today?

  • currency-symbol XRP $ 2.57 (1.22%) top gainer
Story Highlights
  • Bitcoin reclaims $90K as falling USD boosts demand for crypto; altcoins like ETH, SOL, and DOGE join the bullish rally.

  • XRP hits $2.25, eyes breakout above $2.25–$3.30 range; analysts watch for wave five rally or risk of correction below $1.82.

Bitcoin has reclaimed the $90,000 level for the first time since March, surging as investors seek refuge in crypto amid a falling U.S. dollar. The flagship cryptocurrency rallied for a second consecutive day, supported by macroeconomic headwinds and increasing expectations that the Federal Reserve may soon pivot to rate cuts.

The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has slipped to a three-year low, increasing Bitcoin’s appeal as a hedge against currency devaluation. The situation mirrors recent gains in gold, which, like BTC, is often viewed as a store of value during uncertain economic conditions.

Altcoins Join the Rally

The bullish momentum wasn’t limited to Bitcoin. Ethereum (ETH) jumped by 13%, while XRP and Solana (SOL) each gained 7%. Dogecoin (DOGE) outperformed with a 14% surge, riding the wave of renewed retail interest and risk-on sentiment.

XRP: Holding Strong, Waiting for Breakout

XRP has been holding firm within a well-established range, currently trading above key support between $1.21 and $1.55. Analysts highlight that, despite minor wicks and volatility, this zone remains structurally intact. A rally in wave five, as suggested by some Elliott Wave analysts, may still be in play.

For a bullish breakout confirmation, XRP would need to clear $2.25, the recent local high from April 13. A successful push beyond that level could open the door for a move toward $3.30, and potentially extend to targets between $5.00 and $5.65, depending on broader market momentum. At the time of writing, XRP has gained more than 7% and is trading at $2.25.

However, the path higher isn’t guaranteed. A break below $1.82 could shift focus to a deeper correction. While microstructure analysis shows no clear five-wave decline, which would imply a deeper correction, the market has yet to confirm a strong reversal.
