XRP price preps for 'powerful move' above $2.90 as sentiment metrics signal optimism

XRP (XRP) has followed the broader crypto market trend by selling off sharply, but the altcoin still holds the bulk of its 300% gains, which it accumulated in the last part of 2024. The altcoin managed to avoid a deeper correction between Jan. 7 and Jan. 9, as it continues to consolidate near its descending trendline, eyeing a potential breakout above the key resistance range between $2.50 and $2.60.

From a technical perspective, XRP has converged within trendlines over the past few weeks, with the price maintaining a position above the 200-day EMA level. With a potential breakout above the descending trendline, the altcoin will likely attempt to clear liquidity levels around $2.42 and $2.50, which may fuel a rally toward a new all-time high above $2.90.
