Ripple’s native crypto XRP has witnessed a strong surge gaining 15% in the last 24 hours while setting the stage for a rally to $3 and above. Today’s XRP price surge to $2.42 comes along with a 120% surge in the daily trading volume reaching over $10 billion showing strong bullish momentum. The surge comes as the bulls defended the $2.0 support following the recent crypto market correction. Popular analysts predict a surge to $13 and beyond. Furthermore, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has hinted at working on real-world utility as we head into 2025. Where Is XRP Price Heading Next? With Ripple bulls stepping in, the XRP price daily close above $2.12 confirms that the bullish action remains intact for the Ripple cryptocurrency. Crypto analyst EGRAG Crypto has identified critical resistance levels to monitor in the coming sessions: $2.60, $2.65 and $2.75. Breaking through these thresholds could pave the way for higher price targets, potentially signaling a bullish breakout above $3. Additionally, the XRP whale activity could support the broader momentum.
