Crypto analyst CasiTrades has predicted that the XRP price could record a 30% 
rally to $2.8. She further revealed what the altcoin needs to do first to gain 
momentum to reach this level, which could pave the way to new highs. XRP Price 
Eyes Rally To $2.8 With This Classic Confirmation In an X post, CasiTrades 
shared an accompanying chart that showed that the XRP price could soon rally 
to as high as $2.8. The analyst indicated that the $2.25 support zone will 
decide the altcoin’s next move. She said that she is looking for that classic 
confirmation, whereby XRP breaks $2.25 and then comes back to test it as 
support. Related Reading: XRP Price: Here’s What Has Been Driving The Calls 
For 1,000% CasiTrades remarked that the flip of $2.25 as support could be 
fast, signaling that the market is ready for continuation. She predicts that 
the flip of $2.25 could open the door to $2.69. The analyst added that it is 
possible that the XRP price trends closer towards $2.69. This could be near 
$2.45, with a final exhausted high at the resistance fib. Based on her 
accompanying chart, a rally to $2.8 could also be in play. Commenting on the 
current XRP price action, the analyst stated that the XRP price continues to 
respect the 0.382 retracement, which she claimed is the exact apex of the 
consolidation. She further remarked that every reaction at this current level 
reinforces how significant the range is. CasiTrades added that the test and 
bounce off the top of the upper trendline indicates that the market is gearing 
up for another run at the $2.25 resistance. She also said that the Relative 
Strength Index (RSI) will be crucial at each of these resistance prices to 
monitor exhaustion or strength. However, the analyst is confident that the 
bullish structure is still valid for the XRP price. The altcoin simply needs 
to hold the 0.382 retracement level, flip $2.25, and then it can rally to the 
upside. Short-Term Targets For The Altcoin In an X post, crypto analyst Egrag 
Crypto outlined the short-term targets for the XRP price. He stated that a 
close above $2.35 would be bullish for the altcoin. Meanwhile, a close above 
$2.42 would be super bullish for XRP. A close above these targets would also 
be significant as it would mean that the altcoin has flipped the $2.25 
resistance, which CasiTrades highlighted. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals 
Rational Behind XRP Price Reaching $9.5 And $37.5 In the long term, the crypto 
analyst is confident that the XRP price can reach double digits. He recently 
predicted that the altcoin could reach between $9.5 and $37.5 in this market 
cycle. He alluded to historical cycles as the reason XRP could reach these 
targets. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.24, 
down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured
