XRP has made a strong recovery following recent volatility, attracting significant interest from traders. At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $2.45, up 2.14% in the last 24 hours. This has sparked speculation—can XRP breach the critical $2.50 resistance level and trigger a sustained rally?

XRP’s Bullish Pattern: The Inverted Head and Shoulders Formation

A closer look at XRP’s price action reveals the formation of an inverted head and shoulders pattern—a classic indicator of bullish momentum. This pattern consists of three key elements: the left shoulder, the head, and the right shoulder. The head was established at the $1.99 level, while the right shoulder formed around $2.20.

The neckline of this pattern, which serves as a confirmation level, stands at $2.45. A decisive break above this threshold could pave the way for a surge toward $2.60 and potentially even $3.00 in the coming sessions.

Market Sentiment: Long Positions Dominate

An analysis of the long/short ratio on Binance Futures provides insight into market sentiment. At press time, a staggering 72.28% of traders were holding long positions, signaling strong bullish expectations. Only 27.72% of traders were betting on a short-term decline, further reinforcing the optimism surrounding XRP’s price prospects.

This imbalance suggests that traders are confident in XRP’s ability to push past its resistance levels and maintain an upward trajectory.

Derivatives Market Signals Growing Confidence

Further supporting the bullish outlook, derivatives data has shown a sharp increase in trading activity. XRP’s trading volume surged by 60.98% to reach $4.52 billion, while Open Interest stood at $3.97 billion, indicating growing investor engagement.

Moreover, XRP’s Options volume skyrocketed by an impressive 167.91%, pointing to heightened speculation and confidence in further price gains.
