XRP Price Continues to Surge – Will This Trend Persist?

XRP has once again emerged as a top performer in the cryptocurrency market, following the recent price surges.

XRP surged over 30% on the weekly chart, reaching a three-month peak of around $0.57.

Investors are optimistic about XRP’s future, anticipating further gains. Many believe that the current rally has just begun (or is atleast far from over) and compare it to the 2017 bull run when XRP skyrocketed from less than $0.01 to nearly $2.30 in a year, marking a 38,000% increase.

Some even make extremely bullish predictions, such as a potential surge to $20, based on the Bollinger band metric (tightened bands historically preceded significant price movements).
