XRP has been printing a magnificent price upsurge over the last couple of days. In terms of weekly performance, the embattled cryptocurrency has outperformed other top 10 digital currencies.
To the amazement of the crypto community, XRP has touched the price level it last visited during the bull cycle that started in 2017 and ended in January 2018, despite the ongoing lawsuit against Ripple.

If XRP could maintain the current momentum, the cryptocurrency could in no time hit $1.50. This is such a moment the XRP community has been waiting for.

Cantering Clark tweeted, “Not for nothing, $XRP technically has taken all necessary strides to be bullish. After the exchange delistings and write-off by most of CT, this essentially left the market short from both a positional and sidelined standpoint. This can move much higher.”

Another crypto trader is popularly known as Kaleo also averred that there would be an XRP breakout against Bitcoin (BTC). After the breakout, the trader stated further that the digital currency is on the verge of breaking out of a 3-year downtrend against Bitcoin, which has also recently played out.
Kaleo tweeted, “$XRP / $BTC is about to break out of a 3+ year downtrend. Zero exposure here seems irresponsible. When this sh*tcoin starts to pump, it makes vertical moves (aka all at once for a burst). Still very early.”
