According to a report made available by XRPL Monitor, a tool that monitors XRP transactions, the sum of 52.5 million XRP worth $11 million was moved by the major South Korean exchange Bithumb. While a crypto analyst foresees $5 for the digital currency.
The price of Ripple’s digital token XRP has been stable above $0.2 support level. While Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, keeps failing to hold its much-needed support for further price uptrend.

Analyst Foresees $5 for XRP Price
A cryptocurrency trader and analyst identified on Trading View as “moon333” has recently shared a prediction regarding the price trend of Ripple’s digital token XRP.
He said he expects XRP, the 3rd largest digital currency by market capitalization, to significantly rise to $5 within the next one or two years.
Several indicators were considered by the analyst before drawing his conclusion at $5 for the price of XRP. He also emphasized on the Falling Wedge pattern that the digital token has been resting on since it last recorded its price all-time high.
He wrote:
“Here we can observe one more thing that the relative strength index (RSI) indicator 1st went in oversold in January 2020 and in the month of March it went again very close to the oversold zone and now it has turned bullish. And if we see the price action of XRP then it can be easily seen that the price line has also formed a double bottom as well that is another very powerful bullish sign.”
A trader alike, who reacted to his analysis and prediction concurred to his assertion, claiming he’s a similar opinion.
