XRP Surges 50% in January: Is $4 the Next Milestone for Ripple’s Breakout?

XRP has been making waves in the cryptocurrency market, staging an impressive 50% rally in January alone. This sharp rise has significantly outperformed major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, leaving many investors and analysts eagerly watching for what comes next.

Why is XRP Soaring?

Several factors contribute to XRP’s recent surge. One key driver is positive regulatory news surrounding Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP. In December, Ripple secured approval from the New York Department of Financial Services for its RLUSD stablecoin. This regulatory win added a layer of legitimacy to the project, boosting investor confidence.

XRP’s rise is also fueled by growing adoption among financial institutions. A report from crypto intelligence firm Santiment highlights Ripple’s partnerships with key financial entities, including Ondo Finance, which enables tokenized US Treasury securities on the XRP Ledger. Additionally, Ripple has been expanding its regulatory footprint, securing money transmitter licenses in Texas and New York, bringing its total to over 50 licenses worldwide.

XRP’s Price Target: Breakout to $4

Looking ahead, XRP is poised for a potential breakout above $4, according to technical analysis. Crypto analyst Dark Defender suggests that XRP’s price is setting up for confirmation of a breakout on the 4-hour and 1-day timeframes, with a short-term target of $4. The tightening of the Bollinger Bands—volatility indicators—on XRP’s daily chart also signals that an explosive move may be on the horizon.

However, caution is advised, as some analysts have warned of a potential bull trap below the $2.95 mark. While XRP has bounced strongly from lows earlier in the week, liquidity pockets could be targeted by market movers looking to push prices lower.

With $3 acting as a key support level, traders will be watching closely for any movement below this price. If XRP’s breakout is confirmed, the token could see significant gains, with a potential rise toward the $4 mark by the end of February.
