XRP Price Prediction
Expert technical analysis hints bullish outlook for XRP as it is forming a bullish inverted head and shoulder price action pattern. Looking at the XRP’s daily chart, the $0.633 level is crucial as it serves as the neckline of this bullish pattern.

If XRP breaks out above this level and closes a daily candle above $0.633 there is a high possibility of a significant upside rally toward the $0.75 level.
Key Liquidation Zones
As of now, the major liquidation levels are near $0.581 on the lower side and $0.604 on the upper side, as traders are heavily leveraged at these levels, according to Coinglass data.
If overall market sentiment shifts and XRP rises to the $0.604 level, nearly $14.52 million worth of short positions will be liquidated. Conversely, if the sentiment remains bearish and the price falls to the $0.581 level, approximately $4.86 million worth of long positions will be liquidated. The higher concentration of short positions indicates a bearish sentiment for XRP.
Current Market Conditions
As of now, XRP is trading near $0.595 and has experienced a decent price surge of 0.7% in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, its trading volume has increased by 17% during the same period, indicating increasing participation from traders amid the recent price drop.
