XRP is trading around $2 after repeatedly rebounding from support but failing to overcome ongoing selling pressure. A trader has highlighted parallels with XRP’s 2017 accumulation phase and pointed to a new pattern forming after the token moved above $1.70. On the daily chart, a falling wedge and a potential breakout above $2.20 put the 200‑day EMA at $2.44 and a possible move toward $3 in focus, while a separate presale project, Bitcoin Hyper, is pitching a Solana-based Layer 2 for Bitcoin.
