XRP has been one of the most-watched altcoins recently, with multiple 
developments emerging for its parent company, Ripple. However, while Ripple 
has seen a lot of positives, XRP has continued to struggle when it comes to 
price. Amid the selling, bulls have put up an impressive fight to hold the 
support above $2.2 for the time being. This has led to the formation of a new 
inverse head and shoulders pattern that could signal a reversal is coming. 
Analyst Highlights Bullish Formation For XRP Price Crypto analyst 
TheSignalyst, in a new analysis, showed that the XRP price has begun another 
bullish formation. This time around, it is the Inverse Head and Shoulders 
pattern that often precedes a surge for an asset. Not only has this formation 
come at a critical junction, it happened while bulls have maintained strong 
support levels. Related Reading: Altcoins Reclaim Trendline That Led To 2021 
Explosion, Will History Repeat Itself? Through the market downtrend, the XRP 
price has been able to hold above $1.75 and $2, which the analyst points out 
as a major level. The return to this support level has brought a fresh wave of 
bullishness, and the XRP price could be ready for another uptrend from here. 
Presently, all eyes are on this support level, and TheSignalyst revealed that 
if XRP is able to hold this level, then the rally could be in motion. They 
point to the green neckline, which is shown in the chart as sitting just above 
$2.3, and this is the resistance that needs to be broken for the price to 
rally in the short term. For the long term, the analyst suggests that a clean 
break above the $2.66 level is needed. This is what would provide confirmation 
for a bullish continuation. If the setup holds, then the analyst puts the top 
of formation as high as $3.3 in the long term. Analysts Predict Higher Prices 
The calls for higher prices for XRP have grown louder, especially as investors 
have begun to make their bets once again. Analyst Crypto Virtuos pointed out 
that the XRP trading volume saw a notable uptick of 125% in a 24-hour period 
as interest ballooned once again. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Crash To 
$92,000 Or New ATHs? Analyst Explains The 2 Options Amid this rise in 
momentum, the crypto analyst, just like TheSignalyst, also explained that $2.3 
is the hurdle that is holding the XRP price back now. Therefore, the 
cryptocurrency does need to overtake this level if it is to see a continuation 
of the uptrend. At the time of writing, the XRP price is still trending below 
$2.3, with sellers showing signs of exhaustion. Once the selling stops, then 
the bulls could trigger another upward wave to retest the resistance at $2.3 
once again. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
