XRP ( XRP ) price shows positive signs as a bullish technical pattern emerges on its weekly chart, coinciding with increasing open interest. Increasing OI backs XRP upside XRP price is down 2% over the last 24 hours to trade above $2.40 on May 16, but has gained 13% over the past two weeks as the broader cryptocurrency market recovered and XRP open interest (OI) surged.

While XRP funding rates have flipped positive, they remain relatively neutral, around 0.0065%, indicating balanced market sentiment despite growing speculation. XRP funding rates. Source: CoinGlass XRP price chart paints V-shaped recovery XRP’s price action has been forming a V-shaped recovery pattern on the weekly candle chart since mid-January, as shown below. A V-shaped recovery is a bullish pattern formed when an asset experiences a sharp price increase after a steep decline. It is completed when the price moves up to the resistance at the top of the V formation, also known as the neckline. XRP appears to be on such a trajectory, and bulls need to flip $2.60 back into support in order to increase the chances of the price rising to $3.00. Higher than that, the next logical move would be the neckline at $3.40 to complete the V-shaped pattern. This would represent a 40% increase from the current price. XRP/USD daily chart.

Several analysts have also predicted further gains for XRP, as long as key support levels hold. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto shared an optimistic price prediction for XRP, saying that the breakout from a descending triangle in the daily timeframe could see XRP price retest the $3.40 zone.

XRP “saw a clear break of the VWAP bands earlier this week and pushed right to the value area high (VAH) where the price stalled,” the analyst said in his latest X analysis on X, adding: “For immediate structure to stay intact, we want to see bulls defend these.” XRP/USD six-hour chart.
