Crypto analyst Cryptoinsight has drawn attention to an “extremely interesting” price action for XRP. He highlighted the altcoin’s funding rates and spot volume, which provided insights into XRP’s recent downtrend, with its drop below the psychological $2 level. How XRP’s Funding Rates And Spot Volume Explain The Price Action In an X post, Cryptoinsight noted that open interest is rising significantly as funding flips heavily negative and the premium also continues to get more negative. In line with this, he remarked that leveraged players artificially created the move down for XRP. The analyst then pointed to the rise in spot volume, which is also significant. Related Reading: XRP’s 173-Day Theory: What Happens If This Historical Trend Plays Out Again The rise in the XRP spot volume is said to be happening just as the altcoin sweeps the recent wick into the year-long support at around $1.8, thereby creating a Bullish Divergence on the 4-hour chart. Cryptoinsight warned that the altcoin may have to drop a little further based on the hourly liquidity pools. However, the analyst is confident that a potential bounce for XRP from these price levels will be “quite violent” when it happens and will trigger a shortsqueeze back to the upside. Crypto analyst Darkfost also recently noted that there are predominantly short positions for XRP at the moment, with the funding rates on Binance mostly negative since December. The analyst stated that negative funding rates signal a potential reversal for XRP, and that any price rise could trigger several short liquidations, pushing the price much higher. A similar pattern is said to have played out twice for the altcoin since 2024. The first was between August and September 2024, while the second was in April 2025, with the price rebounding after the funding rates turned negative for a while. A Monthly Close Above $1.91 Is Key In an X post, crypto analyst ChartNerd said that XRP must close above its monthly 20 EMA at $1.91 this month. This came as he warned that, historically, after macro trends, closes below this EMA have signaled further decline. As such, the analyst declared $1.91 a fine line in the sand that market participants should be watching closely. Related Reading: XRP Price Recovery Is Possible If It Reclaims This Ichimoku Base A “great sign,” according to the analyst, is XRP’s breakout of its 3-week-long falling wedge resistance. With this breakout, the altcoin could be targeting $2.40, where the breakdown began after the falling wedge pattern formed. However, XRP is set to face key resistance between the $2.13 and $2.20 range. Meanwhile, ChartNerd assured that the altcoin’s fractal remains valid, with a rally to $27 still on the horizon. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.90, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Vectorstock, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst ChartNerd has raised the possibility of the XRP price recording another 30% surge from its current level. This comes even as the altcoin risks erasing its year-to-date (YTD) gains due to the recent crypto market crash. How The XRP Price Could Rally To $2.70 In an X post, ChartNerd stated that a potential XRP price rally to $2.70 is a possibility in the near term if the altcoin can hold the Fib support targets and mark a higher low. He highlighted three Fib support levels, including the 0.5 at $2, 0.618 at $1.99, and 0.786 at $1.89. He noted that the $2.70 was the base of the descending triangle, around the area where XRP broke down from following the October 10 crypto crash last year. Related Reading: XRP Wave C Push On The Way: What Could Send Price Below $2? ChartNerd also explained that the XRP price was currently in a falling wedge breakout pattern and that this typically leads to rallies as high as where the coin had broken down. As such, in this case, XRP could reach the descending triangle resistance at $2.70. The crypto analyst had also highlighted bullish fundamentals that could drive the rally toward this target. This includes Ripple’s alleged ties to South Korea’s tokenized infrastructure and projected major expansion for XRP. However, it is worth mentioning that the XRP price is also at risk of a further decline amid the latest crypto market crash, led by Bitcoin. BTC has dropped to as low as $92,000 in the last 24 hours, forcing XRP to crash below the psychological $2 level. This crash has occurred on the back of the latest Trump tariffs on some European nations over the U.S. proposed takeover of Greenland. The EU is weighing retaliatory tariffs, which could escalate this into another full-blown trade war. The Crash Could Be A “Blessing In Disguise” In another X post, ChartNerd suggested that the recent XRP price crash could be a blessing in disguise. This came as the analyst alluded to the $1.80 liquidity pocket on the monthly heatmap. He noted that this latest drawdown has swept the altcoin into that exact sell-side liquidity, a move which ChartNerd described as a clarity response. ChartNerd also suggested that the XRP price is likely a minor setback rather than a major retracement. He noted that although altcoins are taking hefty hits, Bitcoin hasn’t lost any key structure and that all he sees is “opportunity” until the trendline is invalidated. As such, XRP could see a bounce if BTC successfully defends this trendline.

XRP is trading at around $2.06 on January 13, 2026, leaving its price action a full step below the zone that capped its last rally that ended with a high of $3.65 in July 2025. However, predictions that point to XRP reclaiming that peak and then pushing into new highs above $3.8, have been on the front page of bank research notes and trader-led chart projections. Notably, various technical analyses have suggested that XRP is programmed to return back into the upper-$3s and into new price territories this year. Standard Chartered’s XRP Target Clears $3.8 XRP’s all-time high price now looks out of reach, especially considering the cryptocurrency is now struggling to leave $2 behind. At the time of writing, XRP has dropped by about 44% from its July 2025 peak of $3.65, but institutional buys from Spot XRP ETFs are still giving glimmers of hope. Related Reading: XRP Back At The Edge: Will Breaking $2 Barrier Rewrite Its History? One of the most recently notable institutional-style projections from XRP comes from Standard Chartered’s digital assets research, which lays out a multi-year path that sees XRP breaking well above the $3.8 threshold. According to analysts at the bank, XRP is slated to reach as high as $8 by the end of 2026, a level that comfortably eclipses the previous peak and implies roughly 300% upside from current levels if certain conditions hold. Interestingly, this outlook came from Geoffrey Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s Global Head of Digital Assets Research. The prediction was made based on an outlook of continued institutional adoption and strong inflows into XRP-based spot ETFs. Technical Outlooks As Ripple Heads Into A Consequential 2026 Recent technical commentary from multiple analysts has converged on a bullish bias for XRP. For instance, XRP analyst EGRAG CRYPTO pointed out a developing breakout retest structure on the monthly candlestick timeframe. According to the analyst, historical probabilities favor upside as long as XRP holds above the $1.60 to $1.40 range on higher timeframes, with long-term channel projections placing the XRP price as high as $22. For a shorter-term perspective, Crypto Feras described XRP’s recent break above $2 as a bullish reversal signal. His analysis points to $2.67 and $3.01 as the next resistance levels, areas that could open the path toward a full retest of the prior peak near $3.8 if cleared. Adding to this, ChartNerd noted that XRP’s long-term upside fractal structure is still valid despite the recent XRP price correction. Related Reading: Analyst Updates XRP Price Prediction: Why $16 Is Still On The Table These price projections are being viewed more favorably against the backdrop of Ripple’s momentum heading into the year. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently pointed to strong progress in 2025 with examples of major acquisitions of Ripple Prime and GTreasury and a growing global licensing footprint. Now that Ripple is positioning itself for what its leadership has described as a consequential 2026, the combination of technical outlooks and company fundamentals has strengthened the narrative that XRP could be approaching a move to new all-time highs.

In a world where financial systems are becoming fragile, XRP stands out as the intersection of a financial infrastructure designed for instant global value transfer, speed, reliability, and global accessibility. XRP’s ability to move value instantly across borders, with minimal cost and without reliance on fragile banking systems, positions it as both a long-term wealth tool and a potential life-saving instrument. XRP should be considered as part of life-saving plans. An analyst known as Bird on X has pointed out that most people keep their money in the bank, earning around 4-6% a year, and feel comfortable with it, but they rarely factor in the impact of inflation. Over time, the purchasing power of currencies like the US dollar and the British pound has been quietly eroded to the point where your money can grow on paper while losing value in the real world. XRP’s Role In The Next Phase Of Global Payments Although savings accounts are safe, many people are actually standing still or falling massively behind without even realizing it, which is why XRP comes in as a long-term life-saving strategy. XRP has spent years held back by legal uncertainty, and during that time, the technology continued to mature. Currently, there’s clarity, and what was being built has become visible. Related Reading: XRP Ledger May Get A Tokenized Gold Upgrade, Web3 Founder Reveals Real-world usage is arriving in cross-border payments, institutions are engaging, stablecoins like RLUSD are being introduced, and real-world assets are being tokenized on the chain. As the utility is increasing, capital is flowing into the ecosystem. More usage creates more demand, and sustained demand is what drives long-term value growth. According to Bird, XRP is to be trusted more than fiat, which is why it is a long-term savings vehicle rather than a short-term trade. XRP can be reserved for self-custody, stored on a cold wallet, removing reliance on banks altogether. Instead of earning a few percentages while fighting inflation, you’re holding a digital asset positioned at the centre of growing global financial infrastructure, which is more likely to increase in value over time. In comparison, it is unclear whether inflation will ever pause to make cash worth more. The analyst views this scenario as a long-term wealth investment and believes that XRP will become one of the most utilised digital assets in the world. Thus, building a savings position now could prove to be one of the smartest financial decisions someone could make over the long run. A Bridge Between Old Money And New Rails ChartNerd noted that Ripple is not built to be a traditional crypto company that aims to destroy the old money. Instead, Ripple acts as the bridge between the old and new financial worlds, and this will be a more successful long-term strategy.

A crypto analyst who previously predicted that the XRP price could rise toward $16 has now updated his outlook to a higher target. According to the revised projection, XRP is preparing to rally above $18, a level that would represent a staggering 369% surge from its current all-time high of about $3.84 Updated XRP Price Forecast Eyes Breakout Above $16 Crypto market analyst ChartNerd has updated his XRP price outlook from a previous analysis, reinforcing his bullish stance while outlining two potential market scenarios. He described the structure in his chart analysis as a Staircase to Valhalla, implying that XRP could move through distinct phases toward a higher valuation above $18, rather than experiencing a single explosive surge. Related Reading: Pi Cycle Top Put XRP Price At $300, But Is This Feasible? In his post on X, the expert stated that XRP is reacting positively from a key Vertical Accumulation Support zone that has acted as a defense barrier for roughly 13 months around $1.99. He emphasized that this area successfully held price and is now serving as the base layer for a potential continuation higher. According to the analyst’s chart, Scenario 1, which shows XRP already moving above the Vertical Accumulation Support area, remains the more bullish outcome and currently has the advantage. However, he cautions that confirmation will only come if XRP can break above the Vertical Accumulation Resistance zone between $3.1 and $3.7. If this happens, a stronger price rally can be validated. Notably, ChartNerd outlines a final “Markup” phase with a bullish target of $18-$22 for XRP. This projection reflects a steep expansion zone shown on the chart following a successful breakout from the Vertical Accumulation Resistance and a subsequent consolidation period. ChartNerd also outlines a second scenario, which presents a more bearish path for XRP. In this case, the cryptocurrency could dip below $1.5 from its current price above $2 before attempting to approach the vertical accumulation resistance again. In the near term, he agreed that XRP is currently at support and suggested that a break above $2.20 could open the door to further upside. Analyst Says 2026 Will Be A Landmark Year For XRP In a recent post, ChartNerd shared a chart highlighting a historical structure that closely mirrors XRP’s price behavior in 2016. During that period, XRP was quietly building momentum that eventually fueled its bullish surge in January 2018. Related Reading: XRP Price Mirrors 2017 Sideways Accumulation Trend – Here’s What Happened Last Time ChartNerd has suggested that if history repeats itself, 2026 could become a landmark year for XRP, potentially setting new records and marking a major milestone for the cryptocurrency. The analyst described the 2026 pattern as an uncannily similar formation, featuring the same Double Top formation and wick drop seen in the 2016 structure. Additionally, both timelines experienced a Stochastic Relative Strength Index (SRSI) reset, reinforcing the expert’s thesis that XRP could replicate its 2016 bullish trend in 2026.

The narrative surrounding XRP, the digital asset native to the XRP Ledger, has shifted from a speculative cryptocurrency to a recognized digital asset within the global financial system. This shift reflects growing legal clarity and rising interest from financial institutions seeking compliant blockchain-based solutions for payments, liquidity, and settlement. How Institutional Interest In XRP Continues To Build As XRP gains recognition in regulated financial markets, it’s moving beyond its earlier perception as a speculative digital asset. An analyst known as Skipper_xrp has mentioned on X that this milestone has placed XRP in the conversation alongside traditional assets that institutions already trust. With recent developments from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and rising institutional interest, investors are wondering whether XRP’s growing credibility could be the catalyst for the next major price movement. Related Reading: Not Just Crypto: Research Says XRP Is Moving Into Bank-Grade Payment Infrastructure Meanwhile, tokenization is no longer a theoretical concept; it’s now a tangible reality. The ability to unlock trillions of dollars in real-world assets through blockchain is transforming how the markets will operate. On this front, the REAL token on the XRP Ledger isn’t just participating, it’s leading the change, and opening doors to an unprecedented global market. Ripple recently made the single biggest unlock for XRP since the case against the US SEC, and it has nothing to do with a court ruling. X Finance Bull has provided insight into the CLARITY Act, which legally defines digital commodities under CFTC oversight, eliminating guesswork and excuses from institutions. The real barrier to mass XRP adoption wasn’t tech or liquidity, but a legal risk, and that wall just cracked wide open. Currently, banks can use XRP rails, brokers can move in flow, and corporate treasuries can hold XRP on their books without stepping into uncertainty. This isn’t future potential; it’s the regulatory permission that is required before deploying serious capital. Many tokens don’t fit the mold, but XRP already operates on payment-grade, bank-ready infrastructure designed for real-world settlement, and first in line for real volume. “When institutions get the green light, the token with roads already built will lead,” Xfinancebull noted. A New Gateway Between Asian Markets And Ripple Labs Technical analyst, ChartNerd, revealed that VivoPower International PLC has quietly transformed a standard joint venture agreement into a strategic expansion vehicle with asymmetric exposure. Instead of deploying heavy capital, the structure creates a bridge between Seoul’s institutional crypto markets and Ripple Labs’ private equity, which is aligning with access rather than ownership. Related Reading: Fed Turns On The Liquidity Hose, XRP Ready To Ignite, Investor Claims ChartNerd stated that the play is targeting $300 million in Ripple Lab shares. Furthermore, VivoPower has a capital-light model that delivers substantial upside while minimizing corporate risk. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP price has formed a bullish cross on its weekly Stochastic RSI, creating a bullish sign for the cryptocurrency at a time when its price has been struggling to break away from the $2 region. The cryptocurrency has spent the past several days moving into a downturn, and buyers will now be looking to defend $2. Even though momentum has been limited, new inflows from recently launched XRP ETFs have kept sentiment from turning full-on bearish. XRP Stochastic RSI Undergoes Bullish Weekly Cross According to crypto analyst ChartNerd, XRP has just printed a bullish cross on its weekly Stochastic RSI while still sitting deep in oversold territory. The chart he shared highlights how the blue %K line has curved upward and crossed above the orange %D line at one of the lowest points of the cycle. Related Reading: Analyst Says Get Ready For XRP Price Above $4 This Cycle With this move, the indicator has now repeated a structure that previously marked major turning points during XRP’s past market swings. Oversold weekly conditions paired with a confirmed cross are useful in predicting the early stages of trend reversals, especially when they occur after extended downside momentum. ChartNerd pointed out that this same configuration appeared twice recently, first in 2024 and again in 2025, and both instances produced powerful rallies. The 2024 cross preceded a surge of more than 600%, at which point the XRP price went from trading around $0.5 to trading above $3. The mid-2025 cross delivered a smaller yet still significant 130% run, at which point the XRP price went from hovering around $2.1 to breaking new all-time highs above $3.6 in July. As shown in the chart below, these earlier crosses are marked at similar low points, forming a repeating rhythm of sharp recoveries whenever the weekly Stochastic RSI resets and turns up. The current setup is in the same zone, and this opens up speculation that XRP’s price action may be forming the base of its next major upward leg. Is Another Major XRP Pump Approaching? Although past performance does not dictate what happens next, the indicator’s consistency on the weekly timeframe is difficult to ignore. XRP’s price is again positioned inside a compressed region just as it was before its previous large rallies. This time, the price zone to take note of is around $2. Related Reading: What The Rapid XRP Outlfows From Crypto Exchanges Mean For The Price If buyers regain strength and the wider crypto market conditions improve, most notably Bitcoin climbing back above $100,000, then the probability of a stronger XRP reaction increases. The only thing going well right now for XRP is the inflows into US-based Spot XRP ETFs, with $89.65 million worth of new institutional funds coming in on December 1. A rally similar to the 130% rebound seen during the previous cycle would lift XRP from $2 to about $4.60. A repeat of the much larger 600% surge would place the token above $14. This creates a potential range between $4.60 and $14 if the pattern repeats itself. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst ChartNerd has predicted that the XRP price could rally 10x if a specific trend repeats. The analyst also revealed what needs to happen for the altcoin to invalidate this potential parabolic rally. XRP Price Could Rally 10x If This 2017 Pattern Plays Out In an X post, ChartNerd predicted that the XRP price could rally 1,000% if a bullish pattern from the 2017 bull cycle plays out. The analyst noted that during the 2017 euphoric run, the altcoin had a 3-month cool-off period where it successfully dropped towards its 3-month 20-EMA for a retest before a 25x move to the upside. Related Reading: Analyst Says Get Ready For XRP Price Above $4 This Cycle ChartNerd revealed that the XRP price has now witnessed the exact same set-up in this 2025 bull cycle. The altcoin recorded a huge breakout last year and is now seeing a 3-month cool-off period towards a 3-month 20-EMA retest. The analyst stated that if history is set to repeat, XRP could see a 10x upside move, signaling a blow-off top. The analyst also alluded to the 2021 lower high, which he noted ties up with both the monthly candle close highs from 2017 and also the SEC lawsuit, which is believed to have suppressed the XRP price during the 2021 cycle. ChartNerd added that to invalidate this potential rally, XRP will need to close below its 3-month 20-EMA at $1.20. Until then, he noted that the bulls remain in control. Meanwhile, ChartNerd outlined $8, $13, and $27 as the potential top-out points for the XRP price. Notably, a rally to any of these price targets will mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto had also previously predicted that XRP could reach $27 in this bull run if it mirrors the 2017 price action. XRP Could Be The Next Crypto To Record A Major Run Market commentator Milk Road suggested in an X post that the XRP price could soon record a major run. The platform cited bullish fundamentals for the altcoin, including the fact that RLUSD crossed $1 billion in market cap in record time. The run to this milestone is said to be faster than almost any stablecoin Ripple has ever pushed. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $100 Before Bitcoin Hits $1 Million Furthermore, Milk Road noted that Abu Dhabi’s ADGM has opened the door for institutions to use RLUSD as real collateral, which is also bullish for the XRP price. The market commentator stated that global liquidity with regulated on-ramps could mean the kind of flows that crypto hasn’t seen in months. It is also worth noting that XRP is seeing significant flows into its ecosystem through the U.S. spot ETFs. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.18, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP continues to defend key support levels as bullish momentum builds beneath the surface. Traders are watching closely as the price hovers above the rising 20-month EMA, a crucial line that could determine whether the next leg higher unfolds. XRP Maintains Bullish Structure Above $1.75 Support Providing an update on the XRP chart, More Crypto Online highlighted that the situation remains largely unchanged, with price action still developing within a broader bullish structure. The analyst emphasized that the ongoing movement continues to follow a pattern of three-wave pullbacks, suggesting that the uptrend remains intact as long as XRP holds above the critical $1.75 support level. Related Reading: Massive XRP Rally Ahead? Bold Forecast Calls For $100 Before 2030 According to his analysis, as long as buyers continue to defend this zone, the structure points toward an eventual continuation of the upward trend. The repeated three-wave corrections indicate that the market may still be in a controlled consolidation phase rather than a reversal. However, the analyst highlighted that a confirmed breakout has yet to occur. The key resistance zone between $2.69 and $2.84 continues to act as a ceiling, limiting XRP’s upward momentum. Until the price breaks above this range decisively, the broader market will likely remain in a phase of consolidation and uncertainty. More Crypto Online added that a five-wave breakout above the $2.84 level could signal renewed strength and open the door to higher targets. The next major objective in that case would be around $3.40, which could serve as a staging point for another push toward the $5 region. XRP’s 20-Month EMA Emerges As The Line Between Strength and Struggle In an XRP post, ChartNerd pointed out that the 20-month Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is positioned around $1.94 and is gradually climbing. This long-term moving average has historically served as a strong indicator of trend direction, and its current trajectory suggests that the broader bullish structure could still be intact. Related Reading: XRP Price Gains Traction — Buyers Pile In Ahead Of Key Technical Breakout ChartNerd emphasized that turning the 20-month EMA into solid support would be a significant confirmation of continued upside momentum, paving the way for XRP to push toward higher resistance zones in the coming sessions. The analyst remains optimistic that the EMA will act as a reliable foundation for further gains. However, ChartNerd also cautioned that a decisive drop below the $1.94 EMA could weaken the bullish outlook, triggering a deeper retracement. Still, he noted that “the boat is yet to raise its sails,” implying that XRP’s next major move has yet to unfold, and patience may be key as traders await confirmation of the next trend direction.

A recent debate on the social media platform X has drawn attention to XRP’s long-term price outlook after an XRP enthusiast, Crypto Bitlord, proposed a rather wild scenario where the cryptocurrency teleports to $500 instantly. His post, which imagined XRP being used by the US government to pay off its $35 trillion debt, caused some reactions across the XRP community. In response, well-known crypto analyst ChartNerd stepped in to temper expectations, explaining that while XRP’s future is bright, such a leap to $500 is far from realistic this market cycle. ChartNerd’s Take On Realistic XRP Targets ChartNerd’s comments immediately stood out for their grounded tone, especially amongst reactions filled with predictions of explosive, instant gains. Responding directly to Bitlord’s vision of XRP rocketing to $500, ChartNerd clarified that XRP’s price will not trade at that price target this cycle. “$XRP will not teleport to $500,” he said. Related Reading: XRP Strengthens Under The Weight Of Heavy FUD And Loss-Selling, What This Means For Price Instead of a three-digit price, the analyst noted that the XRP price can only realistically reach the double-digit threshold in this cycle. “Realistically, it could definitely teleport to $13-$27 this cycle,” he continued. This double-digit price target, although very bullish compared to XRP’s current price action, pales in comparison to other bullish projections from other crypto analysts, with many anticipating triple-digit price targets and others even predicting a run to $1,000 and beyond. As conversations around potential XRP ETFs continue to gain momentum, one commenter asked ChartNerd whether his projections accounted for the billions in possible ETF inflows and the tokens expected to be locked in treasury funds and liquidity pools over the next few months. His response showed that his analysis was not detached from these developments. ChartNerd explained that even if XRP captured half of Bitcoin’s ETF trading volume from the past two years, the result would still translate to a market capitalization of roughly $1.2 trillion, bringing the price closer to his $27 upper target rather than $500. Most ultra-bullish XRP price predictions are contingent on the cryptocurrency gaining adoption among banks and players in traditional finance. However, adoption models grow over years, not weeks, with ChartNerd adding that “these developments take time, and triple digits are not possible until many a year down the line.” Staying Grounded Amid Bold Predictions Another user remarked that Bitcoin once faced similar disbelief before breaching $100,000, meaning that XRP could surprise skeptics in the same way. ChartNerd, however, maintained his cautious stance with the response, “Highly unlikely imo, we shall see. I’ll stick to double digits.” Related Reading: Market Expert Reveals Why The XRP Price Is Still Crashing Amid Good News Surrounding Ripple Such comparisons overlook the fundamental differences between Bitcoin’s and XRP’s market dynamics, especially when it comes to their circulating supplies. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.66, a 1% increase in the past 24 hours and a 9.2% rise over the last seven days. To reach the hypothetical $500 level, XRP would need to surge by roughly 18,690% from its current price. By contrast, hitting $13 or $27 would represent gains of approximately 388% and 915%, respectively. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
