In the cryptocurrency market today, we are witnessing a strong rebound following yesterday’s sharp correction, during which Bitcoin (BTC) plunged to a low of $89,216. BTC has since recovered above $96,000, posting a gain of over 5%.
This recovery is bringing positive momentum to the broader market. XRP, one of the top-performing altcoins, has surged by over 9% following a successful breakout and retest. Stellar (XLM), up by 6%, appears poised for a similar move, raising excitement among traders.

XRP’s Breakout and Retest
Today’s rally follows XRP’s successful retest of its bullish pennant breakout, which occurred on January 11 near the $2.41 level. After the retest, XRP broke above the $2.51 resistance zone, pushing its price to the current level of $2.67.

This breakout and subsequent retest have strengthened bullish sentiment around XRP, with the next resistance level at $2.90 now in focus. If momentum continues, XRP could see further upside, potentially challenging the $3.00 psychological level soon.
Stellar (XLM) Setup
Stellar’s XLM is echoing XRP’s price movement, forming a symmetrical triangle pattern that typically indicates a continuation of the prevailing trend. At its current price of $0.43, XLM is nearing the triangle’s upper resistance trendline, a key level for a potential breakout.

A decisive move above this resistance, along with breaching the intermediate resistance at $0.4745, could open the door for XLM to target its next major resistance at $0.60. This would represent an impressive potential gain of 43% from current levels.
The MACD indicator for XLM is also flashing bullish signals, with positive momentum growing in the histogram. This reflects increasing optimism among traders as XLM inches closer to its breakout point.
Conclusion
Both XRP and XLM are showing promising technical setups, with breakout scenarios likely to drive further price gains. XRP’s successful breakout and retest are paving the way for continued upside, while XLM appears ready to follow with a similar bullish move.
