  XRP is struggling to regain its previous levels of $0.25 and $0.30, some traders believe the coin is about to reach those price marks in the short term

Even with XRP staying in the lows, this coin's community remains one of the most loyal in the crypto industry. Retail investors seem to be particularly bullish this year, expecting the XRP price to achieve some significant results.

The closest target for the price of the thirds largest coin is the psychologically important $0.30 spot. Several traders are currently predicting that XRP is heading in just that direction.

‘XRP is targeting $0.25-$0.28 levels’

The crypto trader who goes by the name ‘JOKER’ on Twitter believes that things are looking good for the XRP price from the point of view of both the Elliot Wave theory and the Rounding Bottom pattern. The latter appears when long-term descending trends are coming to an end.

Both options suggest that XRP is moving to the level of $0.25-$0.28 level, the trader states.

The XRP’s all-time high totals $3.50. The coin reached this price on January 5, 2018, right before the start of the ‘crypto winter’ which lasted until early 2019. 

At press time, XRP is trading at $0.21, according to CoinMarketCap.

‘XRP price might be following the 2017 fractal scheme’

The trader ‘LUD XRP’ has been watching the XRP/USD chart to suggest that the coin is following the 4-hour time-frame fractal that allowed it to surge over the $1 mark back in 2017. According to the chart, the trader shows the target of XRP at the moment is $0.26.

Ripple’s recent travails

On January 15, a court hearing, crucial for further XRP fate, is to take place. The lawsuit at this hearing will be a continuation of a previous legal action taken against Ripple.

The latter demands that XRP is to be officially acknowledged security. However, in the upcoming hearing, the judge will decide whether the claims about the true nature of XRR from a group of its early investors will be dismissed or not.
