Ripple’s performance during the crypto-winter led many analysts to believe that there was only a very small chance of breakout for the XRP/USD pair, according to various technical analysis. While the cryptocurrency sported a consistent downtrend throughout 2018, September’s market volatility resulted in an unusual spike to $0.8 in trading value.
While XRP’s price was not able to maintain its seemingly one-off price rise, it traded throughout the year while maintaining a strong support at $0.27. At the same time, the third largest cryptocurrency had been crippled by contracted volatility, and the downfall of the market leader, Bitcoin [BTC].

Contrary to popular beliefs, Ripple’s XRP witnessed a major increase in its transaction volumes recently. Compared to the previous year, the cryptocurrency’s transaction volume has now almost doubled, hinting at the probability of a bull market for the token. At press time, XRP’s trading volume had risen by $1 billion, as investors continued to put their money into the XRP market.
While every market dip opens up an opportunity to accumulate XRP, the bull run is expected to take place as long as the XRP/USD pair’s value manages to steer over the ongoing support at $0.27. Additionally, the bullish trend is also positioned to retain its ongoing sideways trend, contrary to sudden alternating spikes in the past.
With the XRP market displaying more volatility and signalling more buyers, the coin’s market is currently positioned to make a 1400% jump back to its $3 value.
