博链BroadChain learned that at 00:00 on April 23, according to NewsBTC, XRP attempted to extend its gains after last week's rebound but is currently facing resistance again. The token is now hovering near the upper boundary of the consolidation band within the $1.3 to $1.4 range, with buyers yet to achieve a sustained breakthrough.
尽管如此，XRP's daily MACD indicator has turned bullish for the first time since January, a shift that may signal improved momentum and potential for a new round of upward movement. Market expert Sam Daodu pointed out that whether this reversal can be sustained will depend on key developments over the next ten days, with multiple macro and regulatory milestones serving as near-term "triggers."
Daodu analyzed that XRP's daily MACD has been below the signal line for most of 2026, with previous attempts to turn bullish having failed. The difference this time is that the bullish shift has been maintained rather than immediately reversed. Historical data shows that after the MACD turned bullish in early January this year, XRP rose by approximately 25% within a week, reaching a high near $2.40 on January 7.
Breaking out of the current consolidation range requires two major catalysts: first, legislative progress on the CLARITY Act before May, providing regulatory clarity for institutional participation; second, the extension of the ceasefire agreement in the geopolitical conflict after April 22. If both are achieved, institutions awaiting regulatory clarity may inject $4 billion to $8 billion into XRP ETFs.
在价格确认方面， a daily closing price above $1.55 would validate the effectiveness of the MACD's bullish signal, with an upward target pointing to $1.80, representing a potential gain of about 25% from the current $1.43. Conversely, if the ceasefire agreement expires and hostilities resume, oil prices could return above $100, suppressing risk assets. Coupled with a delay of the CLARITY Act beyond May, XRP might retreat below $1.30.
