XRP’s 12-hour chart currently indicated its position above resistance at $1.62, suggesting the potential to re-test its 2021 high at $1.966. However, the price structure of XRP showed a rising wedge pattern. This increases the chances of a bearish breakout in the next few days, but considering bullish momentum remains rigid, the price could move toward its next target at $2.30.

However, the chances of another re-test at $1.41 is likely higher, with trading volumes decreasing over the past few days as well. SSL indicator remains bullish for XRP, indicative of a buy signal in the chart but probable corrections will lead to a change.
