Ripple's $XRP is enjoying a remarkable resurgence, climbing past $1.90 for the first time since May 2021. With a staggering 270% gain over the past month, its market capitalization has surged to over $109 billion, reigniting investor optimism. As the cryptocurrency extends its winning streak into a fourth consecutive week, speculation mounts: could XRP hit the $5 mark by December?

The current rally is fueled by a combination of positive market sentiment and favorable legal developments. Speculations that President-elect Donald Trump might appoint former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins—known for his crypto-friendly stance—as the agency's new Chair are further bolstering optimism. Additionally, Ripple Labs is making strategic moves, including the possibility of launching its own IPO and unveiling a USD-pegged stablecoin, RLUSD. These advancements, coupled with expectations for regulatory clarity and a potential spot XRP ETF approval, could significantly enhance the asset's ecosystem and utility, making it a prime contender for future growth.

On the technical front, XRP has shattered significant resistance levels, including the critical $1 barrier and July 2023's $0.9340 peak. The token's robust breakout above its 50-week and 100-week moving averages underscores its strength. However, caution is advised as indicators like the RSI and Stochastic Oscillator suggest the asset is overbought, raising the likelihood of a short-term pullback. Key resistance levels at $2 and $1.9716 (the April 2021 high) stand in the way of a potential rally to $5—a milestone that would require an additional 110% price increase.

While XRP's road to $5 is paved with opportunities, it faces hurdles. Market overbought conditions could trigger corrections, and broader crypto market trends will play a critical role. Nonetheless, regulatory breakthroughs, institutional inflows from a spot ETF, and Ripple's innovations like RLUSD could provide the necessary momentum. If these factors align, XRP may well achieve its ambitious target, marking a historic moment for the cryptocurrency market.
