XRP has been weak in the short-term and based on the words of analysts, it could incur a remarkable upside move in the coming days, which may lead to the immediate key barrier close to $0.22.

At press time, the performance of XRP was nominal at a price of $0.196. Over the past week, XRP revealed some signs of strength, moving from $0.18 low to its highs established a few hours ago. Bitcoin has performed better as it moved from weekly lows of about $7k to highs of $7.8k.

Similarly, the performance of ETH was better as it incurred remarkable gains in the previous week from lows of $171 to highs of almost $200.

XRP is known for its dull performance since the time after its 2017 rally. It has failed to record the relief rallies incurred by several coins recently.

According to a renowned cryptocurrency analyst known as BigCheds on Twitter, XRP’s daily chart is not looking good:

“XRP Daily chart – Looks sad and lonely, not enjoying the gains that other alts have seen as of late,” he noted.

However, in spite of the lackluster performance, another renowned analyst on Twitter thinks that XRP may be in best position to incur an upsurge in the near-term:

“Always feels weird to say this but out of the majority of charts I see right now, XRP is looking in the best shape for upside for me. 15% – a move to 0.22 doesn’t feel too outrageous,” he explained.
