In a remarkable turn of events, XRP has rallied to a new year-to-date high at $1.68, solidifying its position as one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies in recent times.

Active Accounts on XRP Ledger Rise Dramatically
The overall average of active accounts doubled in November, increasing from approximately 12,000 to 25,000 this month. The number of new accounts activated on the XRP ledger also registered a significant spike in November, indicating an influx of new users on the network.
Ripple’s Strategic Partnerships Boost Bullish Sentiment
The bullish sentiment surrounding XRP has been further bolstered by Ripple’s strategic partnership with Archax to launch a tokenized money market fund on the XRP ledger. Additionally, Bitwise, a crypto index fund manager, announced on November 7th that it would rebrand its European XRP ETP, providing European investors with XRP exposure through a physically backed product.
XRP Eyes $2 but Overbought Conditions Point to ‘Distribution’
XRP’s recent breakout occurred after the price exhibited a bullish breakout from a bull flag pattern.

$10 Target Possible but Mid-Term and Long-Term Charts Show Bearish Divergences
Mikybull has also mentioned the possibility of a $2 target and said,’$XRP 2017 kind of rally vibes. Hit $2, experience a pullback, and then continue its vertical hated rallies to a new cycle top of probably $10.’ However, it is essential to note that mid-term and long-term charts illustrate clear bearish divergences.

Trading Volumes Lowest Since Nov 10; Bearish Market Reversal Possible
