JUST IN 🚀 | $XRP explodes above $3.24 — Is the breakout real or just another fakeout?

$XRP just printed one of its strongest hourly candles of the week, surging past $3.20 and topping out near $3.24, its highest level on this timeframe. The price is comfortably above all key moving averages — MA‑7 at $3.18, MA‑25 at $3.06, and MA‑99 at $2.93 — signaling that bulls are in full control of the short-term trend. 📈

Volume is pumping, with the last few green bars showing strong buy momentum, and the MA‑7 is rising sharply with price riding it like a rocket. 🚀 This kind of clean structure — steady push, minor pullback, then stronger push — is textbook trend behavior.

But wait… the last candle just closed red. 😶‍🌫️

That suggests early signs of exhaustion or profit-taking after the strong rally. If price closes below MA‑7 in the next couple of hours, we may see a cooldown back toward $3.15 or even $3.06. Still, as long as bulls defend $3.06–$3.10, this is likely just a breather before another leg up.

If XRP holds above $3.18 and volume picks back up, a surge toward $3.30–$3.35 is on the table. However, failure to maintain momentum could trigger a dip toward $3.00–$3.06, where buyers previously stepped in.

🎯 Short-term traders: Look for pullbacks to $3.15–$3.18 as potential entry zones with stops just below $3.06.

📉 Break below $3.00 with strong volume = warning sign for bulls.

💰 Spot holders: You’re in the green — consider using trailing stops to protect gains.
