XRP Rally Incoming? Analyst Predicts March-April Surge – Or Maybe Not!

by

Ah, the sweet sound of a market recovery! On Wednesday, XRP decided to shake things up by surging a cool 7.9%, hitting a one-week high of $1.47. It’s been lounging around the $1.35-$1.50 range for the past three weeks, but don’t be fooled, it’s just been too lazy to break through the upper boundary. A classic case of “I’m trying, but I can’t!”

As the price inches toward this resistance once again, an analyst has boldly suggested that a short-term rally might just be lurking around the corner. Why not? It could be the moment where the altcoin finally decides whether to rise like a phoenix-or plummet into the abyss-by the end of Q2.

March: A Month of Miracles for XRP?

Enter the soothsayer of the crypto world, ChartNerd, who has predicted a glorious short-term 20%-30% rally for XRP over the next month or two. “Relief is overdue,” he says, as if XRP has been a sad little puppy, whimpering under six months of downward pressure. In a video analysis, he assures us that the cryptocurrency is trying to “build a base” within its local range. The ultimate goal? Retest a resistance level it lost back in January when it waved goodbye to the $1.80-$2.00 support zone. Sad, really.

ChartNerd suggests that XRP is now forming a triangle, ascending like an overly ambitious pyramid scheme-or maybe it’s a double bottom pattern. Either way, the neckline is perched around $1.50, ready to make a move. Should this “triangle” break free by March, we might just see a miraculous rally back up to $1.80, where XRP will attempt to reclaim the glory it lost.

Of course, if the cryptocurrency decides to form a double bottom pattern instead (because who doesn’t love a good bottom?), the analyst says even a drop to $1.20 would be perfectly acceptable. It would still be a “higher low,” which sounds like something a motivational speaker would say. “Rise above, even when you’re lower than last time!”

In any case, should XRP conquer the $1.50 resistance, ChartNerd confidently predicts a potential surge toward the $1.80-$2.00 zone, which he lovingly refers to as “a critical inflection point.” Apparently, XRP hung out at this level for a solid 400 days. What a commitment!

“It would be a critical inflection point. I mean, potentially, we could respect some sort of ascending channel here as well, leading into March, which is what may guide us up to that $1.80 resistance. (…) If XRP does sort of respect these trend lines, it’s resistance. We’re back at support.”

Brace Yourself for the Retest of a Lifetime

But wait, there’s more! Despite this bullish prophecy, ChartNerd is quick to remind us that XRP might still face a 50% correction. Yes, you heard that right-50%. The $1.80 retest will be the key. Will it turn into resistance, sending the price down like a deflating balloon, or will it be reclaimed like an old, comfortable couch in a thrift store? Only time will tell.

If we do see a rally into the $1.80/$2.00 range come March/April, this could be the moment we finally know if $0.70 is in the cards. Yes, that dreaded $0.70, lurking like a shadow. If we break cleanly above $2, it’s like hitting a reset button on all our fears. But should we face rejection at that level, well, prepare for a possible tumble down to $0.70. Yikes!

If XRP can successfully reclaim its $1.80-$2.00 support zone, the doors might open to a golden opportunity: a return to the $2.40-$2.70 range, which hasn’t been seen since the tragic crash of Q4 2025. Ah, memories.

However, the analyst recently warned that losing the 200-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) could signal another major drop. Historically, this has been the death knell for XRP, sending it down 50% to a bear market bottom. So, if XRP doesn’t reclaim that crucial level, it could be lights out.

As of now, XRP is trading at $1.46, up a modest 2.7% for the week. Could this be the calm before the storm? Or is it just another ripple in the ocean of crypto chaos? Stay tuned!
