XRP is showing signs of a historical trend, is Ripple history repeating itself?
There have been several surges and dips in the market history of Ripple (XRP), but that is expected of any cryptocurrency in the crypto market. One interesting thing to note is that even though these spikes and dips exist, they seem to be organized. Looking at XRP market chart, there is a progressive form.
Is History Repeating Itself with Ripple (XRP)?
If you are to take a look at the Ripple (XRP) market chart, you will notice that the cryptocurrency is making the same route as it did in April this year, 2018. Remember, the coin went as high as $0.9327 in April.
Ripple’s daily chart shows that XRP is building a technical pattern resembling its April 2018 performance. Although, XRP still needs to break above 200-EMA for this to be confirmed. We are still over-extended on the RSI, so it still needs to reset.
Mid May this year, XRP went low and tested the Low Moving Average; it reset the RSI and broke through it, and then, we saw a surge in its price in April. The same XRP/BTC patterned is very much alike with the one experienced in April.
Ripple began an incredible pump that started on 18th of this month and kept going until hitting a significant high at 78 cents. Since then, its price has had a rough upside trend, which then made the coin price to experience a down move again.
Also, XRP price then tanked as it lost almost 50 percent of its up move within a couple of days. Since then, the price now seems to have found support on the 50 moving average. XRP will follow this trend a little longer, then cool down and garner support and follow the same direction as it did in April this year.
As said earlier, Ripple’s surges and dips do occur in a controlled pattern, and as we already know, XRP does these parabolic movements twice a year. However, it is safe to say that probably now is the best time to buy Ripple.
Ripple’s xRapid is Going Live Next Month
Ripple has unveiled an innovative payment means, and it is expected to go live next month. It is expected that this payment means, xRapid, will help money transactions of financial businesses.
Moreover, lots of crypto enthusiasts believe that Ripple’s recent surge was due to the announcement that xRapid will go live next month. It is anticipated that when this product goes live next month, the price of XRP will surge.
“I am very confident that in the next one month or so you will see some good news coming in where we launch the product live in production,” Sarbhai, Ripple’s Head of regulatory relations for Asia-Pacific and the Middle East told CNBC during an interview.
xRapid is expected to assist XRP in global transactions. It is also projected that xRapid will help in the increase of XRP value, as well as intensify Ripple’s mass adoption. It is also important to know that Coil – a technology startup company which is poised to assist content creators via Web Monetization has adopted Ripple as a means of payment. That could be a game changer as well.
At the moment, Ripple’s XRP stands at $0.544 per token, with a market capitalization of $21.7 Billion. Platforms integrated on Coil’s network include Twitch, YouTube, and Wikipedia, which means that people who use these platform can donate XRP tokens to the content providers. XRP as a source of payment on Coil’s platform might also help the price of XRP to surge.
With the launch of xRapid, will there be a Ripple’s XRP price surge making history repeat itself? Well, let’s hope and see.

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.
SOL Outlook
Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.
The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.
This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…
Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.
Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally
Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.
The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.
SOL’s Bullish Cues
Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.
In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.
Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
