The post XRP Aims for $8.40, Conservative Prediction by Expert appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Despite the ongoing price consolidation, XRP, the native token of Ripple Labs gaining massive attention from experts as well as whales/institutions. Today, December 8, 2024, a crypto expert made a post on X (previously Twitter) and made a bold prediction that has captured widespread attention from crypto enthusiasts. Crypto Expert’s XRP Price Prediction In a post on X, followed by a chart, the expert noted, that for others, XRP looks overbought, but for me, it appears undervalued after breaking out of the multi-year symmetrical triangle price action pattern.

XRP Technical Analysis and Upcoming Levels Besides this unrealistic prediction, CoinPedia’s technical analysis hints that XRP appears bullish but currently, it is there in a pennant price action pattern on a daily time frame. However, the price has entered a narrow zone and is poised for a breakout.

Meanwhile, XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) further supports this bullish outlook, as it currently stands at 60, below the overbought threshold of 70. This technical indicator suggests that the altcoin has enough room to rise significantly in the coming days to achieve its forecasted level. Rising Open Interest With this bullish price action, traders’ participation has skyrocketed, as reported by the on-chain analytics firm Coinglass. Currently, XRP’s open interest has increased by 5.4% in the past 24 hours and continues to rise steadily, indicating the formation of new positions.
