There are a few attributable reasons that the popular altcoin has enjoyed a mild decoupling from the pack:... pic.twitter.com/KlqRt15LUY— Santiment (@santimentfeed) May 12, 2025The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for XRP is in positive territory. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 62, suggesting that the token still has room to move higher before reaching overbought conditions.XRP price action shows a clear bullish trend line forming with support at $2.4350 on the hourly chart. The price is trading above the crucial $2.40 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average, reinforcing its positive structure.On the upside, XRP faces resistance near the $2.4950 level. The first major resistance is positioned at approximately $2.550. If the price can move decisively above this level, it could target the $2.600 mark.Breaking through the $2.60 resistance might push XRP toward $2.650. Further gains could see the price approach $2.720 or even $2.7450 in the near term. The next major hurdle for bulls appears to be around $2.80.If XRP maintains its position above the $2.45 support level, it could continue its push toward the $3 psychological level. This target aligns with the analysis of several market observers.However, if XRP fails to clear the $2.550 resistance zone, a correction might occur. Initial support on the downside lies near $2.4350 and the trend line. The next major support is around the $2.40 level.A downside break below $2.40 could lead to further decline toward the $2.350 support. Additional support is positioned near the $2.320 zone.Some analysts are even more optimistic about XRP’s future price action. Crypto analyst Dark Defender suggests that XRP may have completed its Wave 4 correction at $2.07 and is now entering Wave 5, often considered the strongest part of the Elliott Wave cycle.According to this analysis, if the pattern holds, XRP could potentially reach targets between $5.85 and $6.39 in the coming weeks. However, confirmation of this pattern is still needed.The most recent price action shows XRP pulling back slightly from its high of $2.6560. The price has dipped below $2.50 but remains supported above $2.40, maintaining its overall bullish structure.The post XRP (XRP) Price: Two-Month High Reached as Trading Volume Surges appeared first on Blockonomi.
