SuperTrend Flips Bullish On XRP Daily Chart — But Key $1.55 Resistance Awaits

The XRP market has recorded a major positive development, as the SuperTrend flashed its first buy signal on the daily chart in over three months. This event indicates the altcoin’s short-term prospects are looking positive amid the broader market volatility driven by an unstable geopolitical scene.

XRP Bulls Set Course For Encounter With $1.55 Barrier

In an X post on April 18, renowned analyst Ali Martinez shares a bullish outlook for the XRP market, highlighting the resistance level and a price target. This analysis follows the SuperTrend indicator, which has turned bullish on the XRP daily chart for the first time since Jan 17.

XRP’s last significant and sustained price rally came in early January when the altcoin reached a local peak of $2.42. Since then, prices have traded as low as $1.10 and are presently consolidating between $1.30 – $1.55, in line with broader market movements. However, the recent signal from the SuperTrend indicator suggests this period of sustained selling pressure could have ended.

According to Martinez, the trend shift can only be validated if XRP breaks the key price resistance level at $1.55, which has held consistently and effectively in recent weeks. The analyst describes this future encounter as a “true test” of XRP’s bullish intentions, noting that a clear, decisive break above this level should trigger a subsequent relief rally. In this case, the cryptocurrency is tipped to trade as high as $1.90, provided the SuperTrend indicator provides a trailing support floor. Based on present market prices, Martinez’s analysis suggests the XRP market could notch a possible 32% gain in the coming weeks.
