This pattern identifies XRP’s path to $8

Despite XRP facing short-term bearish pressure, the asset may be gearing up for a rally to $8, echoing the historic momentum of 2017.

According to an Analysis by Investing Scope, the recent downturn that saw XRP nearly crash below $2 reflects weakening momentum with the token struggling to break out of a narrow consolidation range that began after its January peak.

However, in a TradingView post on June 5, the analyst indicated that the broader monthly chart tells a different, potentially bullish, story.

In this case, a recent symmetrical triangle breakout mirrors the pattern observed between 2014 and 2017. At that time, XRP moved sideways before breaking out in late 2017, forming a consolidation range and surging to an all-time high in January 2018, just beyond the 1.382 Fibonacci extension level.

XRP’s $8 target 

Currently, the chart shows a similar post-breakout consolidation just below the 1.0 Fibonacci level. Based on historical fractals and Fibonacci extensions, this structure suggests a potential price target of $8, aligning with the 1.382 Fib level from the recent move.

Further strengthening the bullish outlook, the monthly relative strength index (RSI) shows a recurring pattern of peaks, consistent with prior bullish cycles. 

Moreover, XRP has decisively moved above the 50-month moving average (MA), historically marking a shift from resistance to support during previous rallies.

This optimistic technical setup is notable as key on-chain activities have sparked speculation. For instance, on June 6, Ripple transferred $498 million worth of XRP to an unknown wallet. 

This move deviates from the typical early-month escrow transactions and has stirred market curiosity about XRP’s next direction.

XRP price analysis 

As of press time, XRP was trading at $2.18, up 0.1% over the past 24 hours, but down 0.6% on the week.

It remains below its 50-day SMA of $2.29, reflecting short-term bearish sentiment. However, it’s still comfortably above the 200-day SMA at $1.91, indicating a long-term uptrend.

Meanwhile, the 14-day RSI sits at 45.25, indicating slightly bearish yet neutral conditions, with no strong overbought or oversold signals.

This AI crypto is crashing after ignoring a reported security vulnerability

Image
Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) a top performer this week, navigating the artificial intelligence (AI) crypto boom, is now crashing. The sudden bearish reversal happens as a blockchain security researcher exposed a reported security vulnerability that the Virtuals team ignored. Namely, jinu (@lj1nu) went to X between January 2 and 3 to publicly report a security vulnerability he found while “quickly looking” at the Virtuals Protocol code. The public report, however, was only necessary after jinu’s private reporting being ignored by the team in their Discord server. “They [Virtuals] seem to have been audited, but when I contacted them, the team replied that they were not running a bug bounty. And they closed the discord channel I created to report the vulnerability.” Picks for you Smart crypto trader turns $17k into $1 million in just 8 mins ...
