Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, XRP, has surged nearly 38% in a month, generating stellar profits for investors who took an entry position in July. However, its bullish run came to a screeching halt as the global stock markets tanked early this week. Since then, XRP has been trading sideways but managed to spike close to 5% this week.

Ripple: Will XRP Reach the $1 Target This Month?

So, will Ripple’s native token rise 66% and reach $1 in August? Well, XRP turned bullish just days before the recent stock market crash and is now moving at a snail’s pace in the indices. Due to macroeconomic pressures, market conditions are currently not in favor of a bigger jump.
The Daily Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Weekly Exponential Moving Average (EMA) technical analysis shows a ‘buy’ tag. However, the maximum boost the technical pointers give Ripple’s native token is a surge in value of about 10% this month. Therefore, XRP could trade around the $0.66 mark by the end of the month in August 2024.
