A crypto analyst has noted that XRP has finally broken out of its long consolidation phase, signaling the onset of a major price rally. He further predicts that the XRP price is on the verge of ending an 11-year SuperCycle, which could pave the way for a surge to $3.4 once finalized. 

SuperCycle To Trigger $3.4 Surge 

Skyrexio, a TradingView crypto analyst, has released an XRP price analysis, forecasting a possible increase to $3.4. In the chart analysis, Skyrexio disclosed that XRP has recently broken out of its four-year consolidation period, potentially signaling the start of a bullish uptrend.

Unsurprisingly, the total duration of the consolidation period coincides with the number of years XRP has been involved in a legal battle with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Following the lawsuit, the XRP price crashed significantly, staying range-bound for years as it struggled with legal and regulatory challenges.

Notably, Skyrexio’s bullish forecast for the XRP price relies on the Elliott Wave Theory, a technical indicator that predicts price movements of an asset by identifying recurrent long-term price patterns. The analyst noted that XRP’s first Elliott Wave began in 2013, almost 11 years ago. After that, the cryptocurrency experienced a price correction, followed by the legendary Wave 3. 

Over the last three years, the price of XRP had been trading sideways, failing to experience gains that would push its price significantly above the $0.5 mark. Skyrexio has revealed that this prolonged sideways movement can be interpreted as a corrective triangle pattern in Wave 4.

The analyst revealed that XRP has successfully broken out of this triangle pattern, signaling the end of its correction phase. He suggests that the cryptocurrency is now in Wave 5, the last wave of its first global SuperCycle.

Based on XRP’s Elliott Wave analysis, Skyrexio has outlined two bullish targets for the XRP price. The analyst forecasts that XRP could rise between $2.5 and $3.8 at the end of this SuperCycle. He emphasized that the higher price target at $3.8 is more likely to be achieved, as historical data shows that in 90% of cases, Wave 5 experiences a higher high than Wave 3.

Concluding his analysis, Skyrexio pointed out key bullish indicators on his price chart, including a bullish reversal bar and green dot at the end of Subway C. He suggested that these bullish signs, appearing on the monthly time frame, are strong indicators of a potential upward move that could drive the XRP price to its final bullish target.

Update On XRP Price Dynamics 

The XRP price has achieved a monumental milestone for the first time in years. In just one week, the cryptocurrency rallied by 101.77%, experiencing significant price gains following Donald Trump’s win in the US presidential elections this month. 

Earlier this year, the price of XRP was stuck in the $0.5 range, experiencing slight gains but unable to break past this critical resistance level. Now, the cryptocurrency has doubled its price and is trading above $1, a historic feat that has caught the attention of the broader crypto community. As of writing, XRP has gained another 10.1% and is priced at $1.16, according to CoinMarketCap.

Solana-based meme coin Dogwifhat (WIF) has dropped 7% in the past 24 hours, now trading at $3.54. It currently ranks as the second-largest loser of the day, behind Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), which has plummeted 15% during the same period.

With increasing selling pressure and growing bearish sentiment, WIF risks further declines that could push its price below the $3 threshold.

Dogwifhat Faces Bearish Pressure

BeInCrypto’s assessment of the WIF/USD four-hour chart reveals the bearish bias against the altcoin. The negative reading on its Elder Ray Index indicates that bearish momentum currently outweighs bullish strength among market participants. As of this writing, WIF’s Elder Ray Index stands at -0.22.

The Elder-Ray Index assesses the strength of bullish and bearish pressures in the market. When it falls below zero, it indicates that bear power has overtaken bull power, signifying bearish momentum. This suggests that sellers are dominating the market, pushing prices lower. In such scenarios, traders interpret the negative value as a warning of potential continued downtrends or selling pressure.

Additionally, WIF’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates declining buying pressure. The RSI, which gauges overbought and oversold conditions, ranges from 0 to 100. Readings above 70 signal that an asset is overbought and may face a correction, while values below 30 indicate it is oversold and could see a rebound.

Currently, WIF’s RSI sits below the 50-neutral line at 44.80, reflecting weakened bullish momentum.

WIF Price Prediction: The Sub-$3 May Be At Hand

WIF is currently trading at $3.46, hovering just above its support level of $3.35. If the ongoing downtrend continues, the meme coin is likely to test this support. A breach at $3.35 could lead to a further drop to $3, with the possibility of declining to $2.57 if selling pressure intensifies.

However, this bearish outlook could be reversed if WIF experiences a surge in new demand, which could drive its price upward toward $4.19.

Cryptocurrencies were fairly mixed on Monday as Bitcoin remained stubbornly above the important support level at $90,000. Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) token surged to a high of $0.1490, its highest level since April 24 and 256% above its lowest point this month. 

Similarly, Citizen (CATI), the popular Telegram game, jumped for four consecutive days, reaching a high of $0.70, its highest point since September. Notably, investors continued to eye Vantard, an upcoming cryptocurrency that seeks to create a meme coin index fund.

Why Hedera Hashgraph and Catizen soared

Hedera Hashgraph token surged after a leading company applied for a spot HBAR ETF in the United States. This application is taking advantage of the recent Donald Trump election, which will likely usher in a new era in the crypto industry. 

Unlike Joe Biden, Trump has comeout in support of the crypto industry since he has a skin the game. As such, there is a likelihood that the SEC will approve new crypto ETFs at a faster pace in the coming year.

Hedera Hashgraph is seen as an ideal candidate for an ETF because of its use case and the fact that it counts influential companies like Google, Mondelez, and IBM as members of its governance council. 

The main issue with Hedera is that it often has low volume and it has not attracted many developers in its ecosystem. As such, even if the ETF is approved, it is unclear whether it will gain popularity among institutional investors. 

Citizen, on the other hand, is a top player in the tap-to-earn ecosystem that has grown rapidly in the past few months. As shown below, its rebound was mostly because of technicals since it had formed a falling wedge pattern before its comeback. There is a likelihood that the token will surge to a record high of $1.2, which is about 60% above the current level.

Vantard token sale is accelerating

Meanwhile, investors have shifted their focus to Vantard, a popular crypto project that is in its token sale. Vantard has raised over $844,000 from investors, a trend that could continue as meme coins jump.

Vantard is based on the idea that meme coins do well over time. Recent data show that meme tokens like Dogecoin, Floki, and Dogwifhat have outperformed major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. 

Vantard’s strategy is to create a meme coin index fund that will track the biggest and most promising tokens in the industry. As such, instead of investing in all these coins, one can buy the VTARD token and gain exposure to some of the best coins. 

The developers hope that their tokens will thrive as Trump is set to simplify cryptocurrency laws while the Federal Reserve is expected to continue cutting interest rates through 2025. You cann learn more about Vantard here.
