In the cryptocurrency market this week, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a sharp correction, plunging from $102K to a low of $91K. Despite the downturn, Bitcoin has stabilized at the $94K level, allowing prominent altcoins like Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) to stage recoveries.
XRP has surged by an impressive 8% following a key breakout, while XLM is up by over 7%, signaling that a similar move to XRP might be on the horizon.
XRP Analysis
XRP is gaining momentum today after breaking out from a bullish pennant pattern near the $2.41 level, pushing into a horizontal resistance zone. Currently trading at $2.46, the token is approaching the upper boundary of this resistance at $2.51.
A successful breakout above this resistance could push XRP toward the next targets at $2.73 and $2.90, representing a potential 16% upside from its current price.
The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator is showing signs of bullish momentum, with the signal line beginning to turn upwards. This suggests increasing buying pressure, which may support a potential breakout in the coming sessions.
XLM Analysis
Stellar’s XLM is mirroring XRP’s price action, forming a symmetrical triangle pattern. Currently priced at $0.42, XLM is edging closer to the upper resistance trendline of this pattern. Symmetrical triangles often precede trend continuations, and XLM appears to be gathering strength for a potential breakout.
A breakout from the triangles’ resistance and decisive move above the intermediate resistance at $0.4745 could propel XLM toward the next major resistance at $0.60, representing a potential 41% gain from current levels.
The MACD indicator for XLM is also turning bullish, with increasing positive momentum visible in the histogram. This reflects growing optimism among traders as the token nears its breakout point.
Conclusion
Both XRP and XLM are showing promising technical setups, with breakout scenarios likely to drive further price gains. However, their trajectories will largely depend on the broader market conditions. Bitcoin’s dominance (currently 58%) and its ability to hold above the $91K–$94K support zone will play a significant role in determining whether these altcoins can sustain their upward momentum.
