What Factors Are Driving XRP’s Recent Surge?

On the Teucrium website, the 2x Long Daily XRP ETF has accumulated net assets of more than $40M. This is a great milestone, especially since the product launched on April 8 and has traded for less than one month.

First, to launch XRP ETF in the US, Teucrium’s XXRP was created and has brought a lot of interest in the Ripple price despite the market anxiety, with investors keen to invest in this product, which is a bullish sign for the Ripple price and that it may help break this hurdle barrier above the key resistance halt of $2.20 to $3.

Meanwhile, Teucrium’s CEO appeared in a Bloomberg interview in which he said XRP has the most utility in crypto. Speaking about the acquisition of Hidden Road, Ripple opined that they have had utility in payments, tokenization, and brokerage services.

Whales are also rapidly accumulating XRP and getting ready for more profits. According to our data from Santiment, as the XRP price picked up on the multi-week highs, 260M XRP was purchased by the addresses holding between 1M and 100M XRP. Whales and institutions are interested in the XRP price, and the bullish outlook shows that the token will soon push toward $3. 

Will XRP Price Hit $3?

On April 23, the XRP price roughly rose to around $2.30 but dropped slightly to around $2.15 as short-term traders executed profit-taking trades. Ripple could surpass resistance at $2.20 if the bulls gain momentum, thanks to surging whale accumulation. Meanwhile, the XRP daily chart indicates that the bulls still dominate the market.

Moreover, the 200-day MA at $1.97 offers immediate support, possibly giving the bulls a hind wing toward the $2.20 resistance mark. If the bulls break through this level, the XRP price would rally to the upside, potentially to $3. 

The Relative Strength Index sits at 51, which shows some equilibrium prospects. On the other hand, the MACD momentum indicator upholds a bullish signal, calling for traders and investors to buy more XRP. Based on technical data, XRP demonstrates promising signs of a descending channel breakout that would gain confirmation if prices break past $2.75 and hold a position above this level. Reaching this milestone may trigger both $3 and record-high prices.
