XRP’s Robinhood Debut Propels It to $0.75 Year to Date High

Ripple’s XRP has witnessed a significant price surge following its Wednesday listing on the popular trading platform Robinhood. 

This has propelled the XRP token price to a new year-to-date high of $0.75, and it now appears poised to hit new highs before the end of the year. Here is why.

Robinhood’s crypto division expanded its offerings on Wednesday, adding support for XRP and several other altcoins. For example, the platform also relisted Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) for US customers, reversing last year’s regulatory-driven delistings.

This listing fueled buyer demand for XRP, pushing its price to a new year-to-date high of $0.75 during the intraday trading session. Although it has since corrected by 7%, the bullish bias toward the altcoin remains significant. At press time, XRP trades at $0.70.

At its current price, XRP trades above its Ichimoku Cloud. BeInCrypto’s analysis of the XRP/USD one-day chart shows this could be the first sustained rally above the cloud in over a month.

The Cloud is an indicator that tracks the momentum of an asset’s trends and identifies potential support/resistance levels.  When an asset’s price stays above the cloud, it signals a strong bullish trend, indicating that buyers dominate and market sentiment is positive. 

Moreover, traders typically confirm the trend by looking at the Conversion Line (blue) and Base Line (red). If both are above the cloud and moving upward, it reinforces the bullish outlook. As of this writing, this is the case with XRP, confirming the market’s uptrend.

Further, XRP’s rising Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicates the strengthening demand for the altcoin. At press time, this stands at 0.28.

This indicator measures money flows into and out of an asset. When its value is above zero, buying pressure outweighs selling activity among market participants.

When this happens during a price rally, as in XRP’s case, it gives credence to the price growth. It indicates that the price surge is backed by actual token demand and not by mere speculation. 

XRP Price Prediction: $0.80 May Be the Next High

XRP is trading at $0.70, slightly below the resistance level of $0.72. If demand strengthens, the token may breach this level and reclaim its new year-to-date high of $0.75. A successful break above this point could propel XRP’s price to $0.80, a high last seen in July 2023.

However, a resurgence of selling activity could invalidate this bullish outlook, causing the XRP token price to plummet toward $0.66. If this support fails to hold, the price may drop further to $0.59.
