XRP has lagged behind the broader cryptocurrency market so far in 2024, posting a year-to-date decline of over 15%, while other assets together have gained around 20% during the same period. 
However, a mix of fractal and technical indicators shows potential for a great XRP (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/xrp-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/xrp-price-index">XRP</a>) price rebound in the coming weeks.

XRP’s weekly chart is showing signs of a potential bullish reversal, with an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern taking shape. 
The technical setup features a left shoulder that formed between May and December 2022, a head in June 2023, marking the lowest point, and a right shoulder that has been developing since August 2024.

The critical neckline, a downward-sloping trendline connecting the highs of the shoulders and head, sits near the $0.65–$0.66 range.
Based on technical projections, a successful breakout above the neckline area could see XRP prices rallying toward $0.90 to $1.00 in 2024, calculated by adding the difference between the neckline and the head’s low (approximately $0.42) to the breakout point. These upside targets are approximately 100% above the current price levels.
Adding to the potential bullish momentum, XRP is trading above its 50-week (red) and 200-week (blue) exponential moving average (EMA). A decisive rally above these levels would strengthen the breakout narrative.
However, downside risks remain if XRP’s price retreats after or before testing the neckline as resistance. This level coincides with a multiyear descending trendline resistance.
<h2 id="symmetrical-triangle-on-xrp-monthly-chart">Symmetrical triangle on XRP monthly chart</h2>
A big symmetrical triangle on its month chart is another bullish cue, which — as veteran market analyst Charles Bulkowski <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://thepatternsite.com/msymtri.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://thepatternsite.com/msymtri.html">noted</a> — often leads to large gains.
If XRP breaks above the upper trendline, it could signal a broader bullish trend. The projected upside can be estimated by taking the triangle’s height at its widest point (roughly the difference between $3.90 and $0.17, or $3.73) and adding that to the breakout level.

Based on this calculation, an upward breakout from the current level near $0.53 could target $4.20 or higher, as suggested by the Fibonacci extensions marked on the chart. The nearest potential resistance is at the 0.236-0.382 Fib range, or the $0.71–1.05 area, coinciding with the IH&amp;S bullish reversal target.

The 50-month EMA at $0.526 also acts as a dynamic support. Staying above this level furthers XRP’s potential to reach $1 by the end of 2024 or early 2025.
