Crypto analyst Ali Martinez expects a potential 5% rally for XRP price if it breaks out of its descending triangle in the short time frame.
This crypto expert has argued that XRP price could be on the cusp of a rally to $1.46, if it consistently closes above $1.40 in the 1-hour timeframe. As such, he signals a possible 5% upside.

As the traders squeeze the XRP price towards the apex of the descending triangle, Martinez expects a strong rally towards $1.46 if the sellers yield.
XRP fundamentals and price performance
As the token’s price signals a potential bullish move in the near term, investors have been accumulating via spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The U.S. spot XRP ETFs have recorded eight consecutive weeks of cash inflows, amounting to $202.28 million at the time of writing, according to data from SoSoValue.

Consequently, if the spot ETFs continue to accumulate more tokens in the coming days, the recent bullish momentum could increase, thereby hitting Martinez’s near-term target of $1.46.
