XRP Targets $1.80 After Breaking Past $1.50

XRP is hovering at $1.41, down slightly in the last hour but up 1.67% across the past 24 hours. The seven-day gain sits at 4.04%. According to CoinMarketCap, the token carries a live market cap of $86,620,458,288, sitting fifth among all cryptocurrencies by capitalization.

The question now is whether that upside momentum holds long enough to take out a resistance zone traders have been watching for weeks.

$1.50 Is the Line That Changes Everything

ChartNerdTA, posting on X, put the situation plainly. The post framed XRP’s current goal as cracking $1.50 and working back toward the $1.80 to $2 neckline for a backtest. That range has attracted attention because it marks a previous structural high. A clean backtest there would carry weight.

$XRP’s Current Mission: SMASH $1.50 And Get That $1.80 to $2 Neckline Backtest!

That is direct. No hedging. ChartNerdTA on X sees the $1.50 level as the trigger point. Get past it, and the door opens to a run at the higher range.

Late March Window

A later post from ChartNerdTA on March 13 broke it down further. The framing tied a confirmed break of $1.50 to upside momentum toward $1.80 in the last two weeks of March. The timing matters. End-of-month price behavior in crypto tends to draw more attention, and a push into that zone while broader sentiment remains cautious could draw volume fast.

If $XRP Breaks $1.50, the gates open up for $1.80 heading into the last 2 weeks of March. You can do it!

The $1.80 level is not just a round number. It sits at the base of that neckline structure ChartNerdTA flagged. A return to it after a period of trading below would confirm the prior breakdown zone has flipped to support. That is the technical setup being watched.

Where XRP Stands Right Now

At $1.41, XRP sits roughly 6.4% below the $1.50 mark. The weekly gain of 4.04% shows buying interest has not dried up. Volume over 24 hours remains active according to CoinMarketCap data. Whether that activity is enough to clear resistance in the coming sessions is the open question.

The $1.80 to $2 target zone stays contingent on that first step. No $1.50 break, no neckline test. That sequencing is what ChartNerdTA on X has laid out, and the chart structure backs it up.
