Cryptocurrency trader @CryptoNTez tweeted an XRP chart stating that the price has crossed above the 2,760 satoshi level with significant volume. If the current upward move holds, he believes the price will continue all the way to 3,300 satoshis.

Let’s take a closer look at the XRP price movement and determine if the price will reach 3,300 satoshis.

Trading Range

The Bitcoin price has been trading inside a range of between 2,500 and 3,350 satoshis since July 30, 2019. The middle of the range is at 2,850 satoshis. Since Feb. 13, the price created a descending wedge, from which it broke out on March 11. The next day, the price decreased significantly, briefly trading below the support line of the range. However, it immediately bounced back up and has met resistance at the middle of the range and the 200-day moving average (MA). If the price is able to successfully flip this area, a continuation toward the range high at 3,350 satoshis is expected.

Wedge Breakout

Looking closer at the movement, there are two possible options:

1. The price fails to break out above this resistance level and decreases toward the closest support area at 2,650 satoshis, trading in a range between these two levels.
2. The price breaks out and continues toward the range high at 3,350 satoshis. Due to the lack of resistance above the current level, this would could transpire in a short period of time.

We are slightly leaning on the bearish option, due to the instability in the BTC price. However, both courses of action remain possible. To conclude, the XRP price has broken out from a descending wedge and has reached a confluence of resistance levels. If it is able to successfully flip them as support, a continuation move toward 3,350 satoshis is expected.
