According to comments from Ripple CTO David Schwartz, XRP is still at the heart of Ripple’s payments system, even as the company highlights its new stablecoin, RLUSD. Related Reading: XRP Traders Pull Back $2.4B—Brace For Impact Or Buy The Dip? Ripple’s lead tech officer stressed that XRP remains the primary bridge asset in cross-border transactions—and that wider use of the XRP Ledger will keep boosting the altcoin’s utility and value. XRP Remains Core To Ripple Payments In a recent exchange, an XRP supporter pointed out that Ripple now mentions RLUSD more often than XRP. Schwartz replied that he doesn’t have the exact figures on hand, but he’s sure that Ripple uses XRP far more than any other digital asset for its payments service. I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but I’m pretty sure XRP’s use as a bridge in Ripple Payments dwarfs every other asset. I think stablecoins win for collateral use cases (volatile collateral is annoying) and edge use cases (volatility at the on/off ramps is also… — David ‘JoelKatz’ Schwartz (@JoelKatz) July 30, 2025 Based on reports, XRP still dominates as the bridge currency when moving money from one fiat to another. That role helps institutions send funds quickly and cheaply, even when market swings might make a stablecoin less ideal. Ripple launched RLUSD in December 2024 to meet demand for price stability. According to Schwartz, stablecoins like RLUSD make sense in use cases that depend on a fixed value—such as when firms use crypto assets as collateral or enter and exit markets without risking 5% swings overnight. He noted that Hidden Road, one of Ripple’s big partners that works with over 300 institutions, chose RLUSD as its main collateral asset in May 2025. That move shows RLUSD’s appeal for stability-focused tasks. Stablecoin Role Versus Altcoin Utility Schwartz drew a clear line between the two tokens. For tasks where price predictability matters most, a stablecoin helps avoid hiccups. But for the majority of payments, he believes a liquid asset like XRP does a better job—unless someone wants to avoid risk entirely. Holding major digital assets can capture upside, and XRP fits that need better than cash, he said. Adoption Drives XRP Demand Looking ahead, Schwartz stressed that real-world use of the XRP Ledger will naturally drive more demand for the crypto. As more projects and institutions tap into XRPL’s fast transaction speeds and low fees, they’ll need XRP to power each move. That design makes it harder to sidestep the coin’s native token than it is on other networks, where developers can wrap or bypass the base coin entirely. Schwartz’s remarks arrive amid community worries that XRP is being sidelined in favor of stablecoins. The choice by Hidden Road to back RLUSD raised eyebrows back in May 2025. Related Reading: Don’t Blink: 1,000 XRP Could Be The Best Move You’ve Made—Expert XRP’s Use Case But by highlighting how deeply XRP is woven into XRPL’s mechanics—and reminding investors that the altcoin’s volume still outstrips any other asset in Ripple Payments—Schwartz sent a clear message: XRP’s use won’t fade, even as stablecoins gain ground. Based on these comments, Ripple appears to be taking a two-pronged approach: use RLUSD where price stability is critical, and rely on XRP for its proven liquidity and built-in role on the ledger. That strategy could help keep both tokens busy in different parts of the crypto economy, ensuring XRP stays relevant even as new products emerge. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

The XRP price is gaining traction once again as bullish signals strengthen across the charts. Following a decisive move above a critical support level, the cryptocurrency is now positioned for a potential upward move. A new technical analysis suggests that XRP could climb over 44%, targeting $4.804 in the near term—but only if the support level remains intact. XRP Price To Pump 44% If Support Holds Despite experiencing a pullback these past few days, the XRP price continues to show strong bullish momentum as it aims for new highs. In a recent analysis on X social media, crypto market expert Javon Marks forecasted that XRP may be on the brink of a significant price breakout. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Double Top, This Structure Says A Crash Is Coming According to his price chart, the cryptocurrency is trading significantly above $2.47, a level that has been confirmed as a key support zone. Marks’ chart shows that this support level was previously a resistance and now serves as a foundation for the next potential leg higher. The expert’s analysis indicates that as long as XRP continues to hold above the support level, the next upward target remains firmly set at $4.804. This level represents a 44% price increase from its current price of $3.12. Notably, the technical setup presented by the analyst includes a consistent trend of higher lows, reinforcing the potential for a larger breakout to unfold. Mark’s chart also outlines an extended target beyond $4.804. If XRP manages to reach and break above this initial level, the analyst projects a potential surge toward $7.138, reflecting an impressive 128.7% increase from current prices. Notably, a possible move above $4 would already mark a new all-time high for the third-largest cryptocurrency—but breaking past $7 would represent a historic rally, indicating a strong continuation of the current bullish sequence. XRP Teeters At $3 After Rejection From Resistance XRP is currently at a critical turning point as price action rejected sharply from the $3.66 resistance level, sliding nearly 11% to test the $3.00 support zone. Based on a technical analysis by crypto expert Gael Gallot, this rejection follows a breakout attempt from a long-form symmetrical triangle stretching back to February. Related Reading: XRP Price Showing Quiet Strength As Next Breakout Level Lies At $4.65 XRP’s daily chart shows its price forming a large ascending triangle pattern, though the recent rejection at the top of the trendline hints at an incoming upward move. Notably, Gallot predicts that a confirmed breakout and retest above $3.3 could ignite the next leg up, with XRP possibly revisiting the $3.66 zone and beyond. The analyst calls this phase a “Pullback or Setup,” highlighting a mix of signals, including a sharp 44% decline in active XRP wallets as whales accumulate over 280 million tokens even as Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen reportedly moved 50 million XRP. Short-term sentiment also appears mixed, with US traders staying cautious while Asian markets show signs of steady accumulation. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
After a relatively quiet week for altcoins, XRP, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu received a fresh wave of attention thanks to a major update from Gemini. The US-based crypto exchange announced that it is now officially allowing these three tokens, as well as Bitcoin Cash and Solana, as cross-collateral assets for its derivatives platform. Major Boost For XRP, Dogecoin, And Shiba Inu Gemini’s decision allows XRP, DOGE, and SHIB holders to use their tokens as collateral for GUSD-settled perpetual contracts, a feature that was previously limited to BTC, ETH, USDT, and Gemini stablecoin GUSD. All five newly supported tokens come with varying collateral “haircuts,” meaning only a portion of their value is counted toward margin requirements. XRP and Solana each have a 15% haircut, while Dogecoin and Shiba Inu face a more severe 30% haircut due to their higher volatility profiles. Related Reading: XRP Price Set To Teleport As Major Financial Players Tap In — Opportunity Window Closing Fast Gemini has made it easier for users to trade derivatives using a broader range of holdings by bringing these newer assets into the fold. This move not only deepens the utility of these cryptocurrencies but also opens up new use cases for traders who want to leverage their holdings in perpetual contracts without converting to stablecoins. It’s a particularly meaningful step for XRP, which has been working to strengthen its institutional appeal and global payments utility. The move is also beneficial for meme coins Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which are seeing increasing demand outside of the meme coin niche. This expansion also shows a larger trend in crypto derivatives. Many crypto exchanges, especially those in the US, are increasingly opening their doors to altcoins. It is also a drastic turnaround from the state of the crypto market some years back. For nearly three years, XRP was delisted or unavailable on most US-based trading platforms due to the legal battle between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission. It wasn’t until July 2023, following Judge Analisa Torres’s partial ruling that XRP was not a security when sold on exchanges, that the token began to make its return to major US platforms, including Gemini. Price Action Trending Downwards At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $3.13, a 1.4% decline from the previous day but still holding within its recent range between $3.06 and $3.18. Dogecoin is trading at $0.2226, with modest intraday movement after failing to sustain its push above $0.23. The king of meme coins is down by 3.2% and 14.2% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Breaks Above $0.26 In Weekend Rally As Pundit Predicts 2,600% Surge Shiba Inu, meanwhile, is trading at $0.000013, also down by about 4% in the past 24 hours and over 13% in the past seven days. Nonetheless, many analysts still maintain a bullish long-term outlook for these cryptocurrencies. Forecast models project that Dogecoin could climb to $1 in the current bull cycle, while SHIB is expected to reach at least $0.000045. XRP’s trajectory is even more ambitious among many crypto analysts, with price targets ranging from $9 to $10 if adoption momentum continues and pending US Spot ETF applications finally receive approval from the SEC.

According to market analyst Common Sense Crypto, a $1,000 bet on XRP today could turn into between $10,000 and $50,000 during this cycle. Related Reading: $120K Bitcoin In Sight: 90-Day US–China Tariff Truce Fuels Market Optimism He pointed out that the same stake in Bitcoin would likely top out at around $1,300–$1,500. That claim has caught the eye of many investors who are weighing where to put their crypto dollars. Strong ROI Comparison Common Sense Crypto ran the numbers. At XRP’s current price of $3.18, a $1,000 buy-in nets roughly 315 tokens. To hit $10k, each XRP would need to trade at $31.80. If XRP somehow climbed to $160, that small stake would swell to $50k. By contrast, a $1k purchase of Bitcoin at $120,000 today would only need BTC to rise to about $154k–$178k to yield the same $1,300–$1,500 returns. Here’s a quick fact to ponder, if you put $1,000 into $xrp today you will most likely end up with at least $10,000 – $50,000 in this cycle, if you put the same $1,000 into $btc you will most like only end up with $1300 – $1500. ROI (return on investment) is more important than… — Common Sense Crypto (@TheCSCrypto) July 12, 2025 Those are gains in the 30–50% range. This puts XRP’s upside in a very different league when viewed purely as percentages. Still, size matters. XRP’s market cap sits near $188 billion. Bitcoin’s floats around $2.37 trillion. To push XRP to $159, its valuation would need to balloon to roughly $9.5 trillion—nearly four times Bitcoin’s current size. That would require massive new inflows and adoption on a scale we’ve never seen in crypto. XRP Tops $3; CEO Sets Sights On 14% Of SWIFT Ripple’s XRP finally breached the long-awaited $3 mark after US President Donald Trump announced a new US strategic crypto reserve, including XRP and other digital assets. As one of the most traded cryptocurrencies, XRP enjoys high daily trading volumes, ensuring price stability and ease of entry for institutional investors. Ripple’s chief executive, Brad Garlinghouse, predicts that within five years, Ripple will handle about 14% of SWIFT’s worldwide cross‑border transaction flows.

In June, Edoardo Farina of Alpha Lions Academy noted that between November 2024 and January 2025, XRP jumped from $0.50 to $3.40. That’s a 7x return in just two months. Bitcoin, in that same window, climbed from $68k to $112k, a 60% gain. Farina calculated that $50k in XRP would have grown to $340k while the same investment in Bitcoin would have become about $82,352.

Based on community chatter, August 15, 2025 might bring a crucial turn for Ripple and its XRP Ledger. July’s rally saw XRP jump over 20%, and now investors are bracing for moves tied to a court deadline, a major summit and the rollout of a new stablecoin. All eyes are on mid‑August as the market waits to see if talk turns into action.

That decision, which said XRP is not a security in those sales, came after years of back‑and‑forth. The 54th anniversary of the US ending the gold standard also falls on the same date.

XRP’s technical setup is playing out another major move, and this time the bullish momentum is being backed by the reappearance of one of its most powerful historical indicators. According to a new analysis posted by Egrag Crypto on the social media platform X, XRP’s 21 EMA and 55 SMA weekly crossover has been playing out quite nicely, with XRP recently hitting $3.65 on July 18 before cooling off. Now, this analysis projects that the pattern may still be in its early stages. Based on historical outcomes, XRP might be on track to reach as high as $9 or even $24. Related Reading: Wall Street’s Bold Bet: Bitcoin Could Hit $200K By December, Banking Giant Says Bull Crosses Cause Massive Rallies For XRP EGRAG’s chart, which displays XRP’s weekly price action with the 21 EMA and 55 SMA trendlines, shows that each time a bullish crossover occurred between the two trendlines, it marked the beginning of a strong price rally. The first instance of such a cross was in March 2017, and by the end of that cycle, XRP’s price had reached a peak that represented a 40,000% surge from its low. Then in August 2020, a similar crossover produced a 750% pump before topping out. The most recent bullish crossover occurred in October 2024 and has so far resulted in a 560% rise from XRP’s bottom in September 2024. However, there was a similar temporary pump in April 2023 that Egrag excluded from his model. Based on different assumptions about the previous price playout between the two cycles, the analyst outlined two possible targets for the current cycle. The first projection is a 1,500% rally, double that of 2020’s run, which would place the price peak for this cycle at $9. The second projection is a 4,000% rally, which represents just 10% of the massive 2017 spike. This second, more bullish projection places XRP’s price peak anywhere at $24. Chart Image From X: Egrag Crypto XRP Drops To Retest $3 After New ATH At $3.65 After reaching a new cycle high of $3.65 on July 18, XRP failed to hold above the $3.21 resistance zone and corrected down to test the $3.00 support level on July 24. The price volatility, although strong, wasn’t enough to break this support level. Crypto analyst CasiTrades also weighed in on the current technical setup by pointing to an Elliott Wave count that suggests a major third wave is about to begin. In her analysis posted on X, she confirmed that XRP has completed a subwave 2 correction, reaching the deep 0.854 Fibonacci retracement level before bouncing. What’s important here is that the price held above $3, never forming a new low, which is probably now a new price floor. Chart Image From X: CasiTrades Related Reading: Crypto’s Golden Rule Just Got Broken, According To Analyst If buying volume increases and XRP regains its hold above $3.21, the next move is to target $3.82, which coincides with the 2.618 Fibonacci extension. Interestingly, the analyst noted that $3.82 also aligns with what many platforms historically recorded as XRP’s new all-time high. Should XRP close a weekly candle above $3.82, it could lead to prices that align with Egrag’s projections. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.17.

Ripple’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Brad Garlinghouse, has issued a serious warning to XRP investors amid a surge in scam activity targeting investors across social media platforms like YouTube. The alert follows increasing reports of fraudulent accounts impersonating Ripple and its executives, with the aim of tricking users into sending their XRP. Ripple Warns Investors Of Rising XRP Scams On July 23, Garlinghouse took to X social media to raise the alarm on a sharp rise in XRP scams, urging investors and community members to stay alert. According to the Ripple CEO, scammers are capitalizing on market momentum and community excitement to ramp up impersonation schemes, particularly targeting unsuspecting XRP holders. Related Reading: How Ripple Is Taking On SWIFT To Grab 14% Market Share As XRP Price Surges One of the most notable developments flagged by Garlinghouse is a recent surge in fraudulent activity on YouTube, where scammers have taken over existing channels, rebranded them to resemble recognized Ripple accounts, and begun promoting misleading content that impersonates the crypto company and its executives. In its official X account, the Ripple team stressed that these YouTube accounts are legitimate and do not belong to the crypto firm, despite appearing convincing. In many cases, the usernames have been altered to mimic the company’s official handles, often making it difficult for unsuspecting users to identify the deception. These scam videos frequently promise giveaways, rewards, or investment multipliers, usually asking users and investors to send XRP in exchange for a larger return. Garlinghouse has emphasized that neither he nor Ripple will ever request XRP from anyone under any circumstances. To combat the growing threat of skyrocketing crypto scams, Ripple is actively and aggressively reporting these fraudulent accounts and encouraging its community to do the same. The company has reiterated that its official channels remain the only trusted sources of communication and provides a direct reminder to always verify account handles and links before engaging. Notably, Garlinghouse concluded his post with an important reminder to stay vigilant against avoidable losses. He warned that “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Ripple Alert Highlights Broader Threat Amid Market Recovery Beyond the immediate focus on the YouTube impersonation scams, Garlinghouse’s report touches on a broader trend of escalating crypto fraud that tends to spike during periods of market recovery or growing optimism. This pattern, described by the Ripple CEO as “like clockwork,” suggests that malicious actors closely monitor community sentiment and time their campaigns to exploit emotional and financial excitement. Related Reading: XRP Transactions Barrels Over $1 Billion To Monthly Highs, Are Whales Driving The Next Leg? In a broader context, the rise in XRP scams has coincided with the recent surge in the altcoin’s price to above $3.6. Additionally, they come after bullish news like Ripple’s growing regulatory clarity and legal win against the US SEC. As the XRP price inches closer to ATH levels and gains more momentum, bad actors are leveraging this wave of optimism to cast a wider net, targeting investors through sophisticated scams and fraudulent schemes.

Scottie Pippen, the six‑time NBA champion, stirred up the crypto community this week. He put out a poll on X asking his 728,000 followers whether XRP will hit $10 by 2026. Alongside that question, he also threw out bold targets for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. The move sent traders and fans buzzing. Related Reading: The US Is A Bitcoin Whale—Arkham Clarifies BTC Holdings After Brief Panic Pippen’s Viral Crypto Poll According to his post, Bitcoin could climb to $233,000, Ethereum to $10,000 and Solana to $1,000. Pippen gave people four choices for each token and let them vote. Travis Turnbull and others in the comments threw their support behind XRP reaching $10, while some thought even 2026 might be too soon. Polls like this tend to draw big crowds, and Pippen’s name carries weight well beyond sports. Which one of these will happen in 2026: • Bitcoin will hit 233k • $ETH will hit $10k • $SOL will hit $1k • $XRP will hit $10 • Your UBER driver will tell you about the @game5ball • Optimus will deliver you food • Aliens will invade • 2pac returns — Scottie Pippen (@ScottiePippen) July 24, 2025 XRP is trading around $3.18 right now. That price is down 2.2% in the past day, though it’s still up 45% for the month. At that level, the token’s market cap sits near $156 billion. To hit $10, XRP would need to swell to about $500 billion based on its roughly 50 billion coins in circulation. That jump would rank it among the world’s biggest assets. Bullish Forecasts From Other Analysts Based on reports, an NFT project founder predicted XRP could top $10 by next year if Bitcoin rockets toward $250,000. A well‑known crypto analyst updated his earlier $4–$5 call to $10 after a surge in bullish momentum. Aaron Arnold, host of Altcoin Daily, went even further with an $11 target by 2025. He called that figure “realistic,” pointing to growing demand and fresh capital flows.

That would put it ahead of big names like Mastercard and Tencent on the value charts. Such a move would reshape how people see cross‑border payments and tokenized banking rails. Related Reading: Crypto’s Golden Rule Just Got Broken, According To Analyst What It Takes To Hit $10 Reaching $10 won’t happen on hype alone. XRP still faces legal hurdles in the US. Banks need clear rules before they can embrace it at scale. On‑chain activity must keep rising, and fresh partnerships with payment firms or tech players are a must. At the same time, rival tokens and layer‑2 solutions compete for investor money. Timing is key, too. Crypto often moves in waves, and a bull run can last months or years—but corrections can come fast. Featured image from NBA, chart from TradingView
The transactions occurred shortly after XRP touched $3.60, its highest level since 2021, before pulling back to around nearly $3.
The XRP price rally has already seen it reclaim the $3.6 level once this year before slowing back down again. This slowdown has raised concerns of a possible end to the rally. But the formation of a Cup and Saucer Pattern actually tells a different story. Since this pattern is yet to be completely fulfilled, there is the possibility that the XRP price rally has only entered a possible slowdown and will continue to rise from here. Why The XRP Price Rally Is Still In Motion Crypto analyst Cryptinsightuk took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the formation of a Cup and Saucer pattern on the XRP price pattern. This comes after double rejection from the $3.65 level, which is now acting as the major resistance to the altcoin’s continuation of the rally. However, while this double rejection is concerning, the emergence of the Cup and Saucer pattern suggests a sustained bullish trend. Related Reading: XRP Is About To Break 8-Year Resistance Against Bitcoin Ahead Of Spot ETF Approval Cryptoinsightuk explains that despite the rejections, the XRP price has continued to put in higher lows. Naturally, this is bullish for the price regardless of where the resistance lies. Going by the chart as well, it is obvious that there is still a way to go before the pattern plays out completely and suggests a decline in the price. From here, the analyst expects that the XRP price will indeed continue to rise. One of the major reasons that this remains bullish is the fact that this formation is coming above previous range highs. Therefore, Cryptoinsightuk explains that it is more likely a continuation pattern leading to a breakout than it is to lead to a breakdown in price. If the Cup and Saucer pattern does hold up and continue as expected, then the next target would be to retest and break the resistance that has mounted at $3.65. Once this resistance breaks, then a continuation of the rally would put XRP back on the path toward new all-time highs above $3.8. Bullish Developments Spark Hope Not only are the charts showing bullish momentum for the XRP price, but other market developments have also put the altcoin on a positive path. The latest of these is the SEC approval of the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund earlier in the week, which includes XRP as one of the cryptocurrencies held by the fund. Although the SEC eventually stayed the decision and is now under review. Related Reading: Ethereum Price On The Verge: Banks And State Buy To Push ETH Above $5,500?

After nearly eight years of being trapped under a long-term resistance line, XRP is set to make headlines again as it inches closer to a historic breakout against Bitcoin (BTC). With XRP Spot ETF approvals still pending, this breakout could signal the start of a significant shift in momentum and price trajectory. XRP To Break Major Resistance Against Bitcoin The XRP/BTC trading pair is rapidly approaching a critical technical breakout that could reshape its long-term value outlook. Crypto market expert Gordon noted in his chart analysis on X social media that XRP/BTC is close to breaching an 8-year descending resistance line—a move that could spark a major structural change in the market. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Explodes To January ATH Levels, Will Price Follow Above $3? A breakout from this resistance could not only signal the end of nearly a decade of underperformance against Bitcoin but also serve as a potential precursor to a broader revaluation of XRP. Gordon’s biweekly chart illustrates XRP’s historical struggle to gain ground against Bitcoin, with repeated rejections from a strong descending line that has acted as a barrier since 2017. However, after experiencing long years of consolidation and accumulation, XRP/BTC now appears to be forming a large Symmetrical Triangle, with the current price hovering just below the upper boundary of the formation. Based on Gordon’s analysis, this technical compression suggests an imminent breakout, especially as price action builds momentum. What makes this potential breakout even more intriguing is that XRP’s rising value and current momentum have occurred without any significant bullish catalysts. The upward movement in XRP/BTC comes even before any official news concerning a potential XRP Spot ETF approval. The anticipation surrounding this ETF is already palpable, and a favorable decision could act as a powerful catalyst for continued upside. This scenario aligns with Gordon’s assessment that a breakout from the 8-year trendline could be a gateway to a generational wealth opportunity. 2025 XRP Spot ETF Approval Odds Hit 95% According to new data shared by market expert Steph is Crypto, XRP has emerged as one of the front-runners in the race for Spot ETF approval in the United States (US). The analyst has stated that the probability of an XRP ETF approval by the US SEC in 2025 has increased to a whopping 95%. Related Reading: XRP Wave 3 Could Repeat 600% Surge From Nov 2025, Target Set For $15 XRP currently shares the highest projected odds of approval alongside Litecoin and Solana, signaling a major shift in sentiment toward altcoin-based ETFs.

Just a few days ago, reports also revealed that the SEC has officially approved the conversion of the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund into an ETF, which will include assets such as XRP, BTC, ETH, and others.

After years of trading below its previous all-time high from 2018, XRP finally broke through the $3.40 ceiling to hit a fresh record of $3.65 on Friday, July 18. The move capped off a rally that had seen the cryptocurrency rise by 68% from its July open. Related Reading: Whales? No, Newbies: Surge In New BTC Holders Fuels Market Rally—Study However, XRP has returned to hovering around the $3.40 to $3.50 zone following the breakout, and attention is shifting to the possibility of a strong pullback. Interestingly, prominent XRP analyst Egrag Crypto says that a retest to $3.12 might be necessary before any further price increase. Analyst Points To $3.12 As Retest Zone In a new post on social media platform X, respected crypto analyst Egrag Crypto cautioned that XRP may be due for a retest of the $3.12 level. The analyst referenced the Fibonacci 0.888 level, which currently sits at $3.1279, as a logical support zone if XRP were to retrace from its current price zone. According to his technical chart, XRP is currently consolidating within a descending channel on the 4-hour candlestick timeframe chart since it peaked at $3.65. However, it is still trading above $3.40, which is a bullish sign. “Staying above Fib 1.0 ($3.40) is a super bullish sign,” he noted, “but we still need to keep an eye on the descending channel.” Keeping this in mind, XRP could break below the $3.40 level, and a retest could happen at Fib 0.888 ($3.12). The $3.12 level stands out not just because of Fibonacci symmetry, but also because it coincides with an order block that formed as XRP pushed to new highs. If XRP returns to test this level and holds firm, it may confirm strength in the current rally structure and build the foundation for a continued climb toward the 1.21 Fibonacci extension, which is situated at $4.16. Chart Image From X: Egrag Crypto Bullish Momentum Still Intact Although some investors may see a drop to $3.12 as a setback, Egrag believes the outcome could actually be bullish in the bigger picture. “If we do see a retest here, it could set us up for another launchpad,” he explained. However, skipping the retest entirely would be even more telling as a clear sign that the bulls are stronger than anticipated. Related Reading: $57 Billion Mistake? Ex‑Ripple Engineer Reveals XRP Investment Blunder A clean hold above $3.40 in the coming days would point to bullish dominance, especially if XRP breaks out of the yellow descending channel featured in Egrag’s chart. On the other hand, a controlled revisit to the $3.12 zone may offer a better entry point for new investors and prepare XRP for its next leg up to the $4.16 price target highlighted in the analysis. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.49. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
A new technical analysis by market expert Austin Hilton points to the potential for an explosive surge that could drive XRP to insane price levels. These bullish projections come as XRP hits price levels not seen in the past seven years. The analysis also outlines how the cryptocurrency could perform through the end of July and what targets it might hit by year-end. XRP On Track To $5 By End Of July In one of his latest video analyses on X (formerly Twitter), Hilton shared his outlook on where XRP could be heading in the next few weeks. The analyst pointed out that the cryptocurrency’s price trajectory has already accelerated significantly since breaking above the $3.5 level earlier this week. Over the past 24 days, XRP has also posted an impressive 77% gain, further fueling bullish sentiment. Related Reading: XRP MVRV Ratio Flashes Signal That Last Led To 630% Surge Thanks to its strong price performance these past few days, Hilton notes that XRP is now less than 10% away from reclaiming its all-time high of $3.84, set almost eight years ago. He emphasized that the popular altcoin is currently exceeding expectations, with its price surging well ahead of schedule. With bullish momentum showing no signs of slowing down, the analyst predicts that XRP could reach $5 by the end of July. He attributes this potential upswing to strong liquidity flowing across the broader market, combined with rising demand and sustained bullish sentiment as the market enters a new phase of its cycle. Backing his forecast, Hilton mentioned the recent surge in XRP capital inflows. He noted that the cryptocurrency’s market value has surged from around $140 – $150 billion to over $207 billion in just one week. He further credited this influx of capital to growing institutional interest, compounded by Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO), driving fresh entries into the market. Year-End Forecast Sees XRP Gunning For $20 Looking further out, Hilton has revised his end-of-year projection, citing the ongoing strength of XRP’s rally and improving market fundamentals. Initially, when XRP was trading within the $2 range, the analyst had projected a conservative year-end target between $5 and $10, even describing the lower end of that range as extremely modest. However, with the altcoin‘s price now solidly sitting above $3, he sees the potential for a more aggressive push in the months ahead. His updated outlook includes a baseline target of $10, which he now views as the low end of his bullish possibilities. On the higher end, he sees $15 as a realistic stretch target, and a run to $20 as a possible explosive climax before the year ends. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Just Hit A Fresh ATH Above $10 Billion, Will Price Follow Next? Several factors have been suggested as potential catalysts for this optimistic prediction, including XRP’s rising market capitalization, anticipation of a potential XRP ETF, and the long-awaited resolution and settlement of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit. Hilton has suggested all these factors are aligning to place XRP in a prime position for an explosive rally this year. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
A popular XRP proponent recently projected a clear path for XRP to reach $1,000. Particularly, crypto commentator BarriC laid out a multi-stage price forecast that places the XRP price on a trajectory toward $1,000. The statement, posted on the social media platform X, follows XRP’s recent surge to a new all-time high for the first time since 2018. Expert Predicts Multi-Stage XRP Price Explosion XRP has been on an interesting price run since the beginning of the month, which kicked off when it broke out of its long-term consolidation below $2.2 on July 5. This was followed by a string of inflows alongside the rest of the crypto market as Bitcoin pushed to new price territories above $120,000. Related Reading: XRP To $13 in 40 Days? Analyst Predicts Explosive Final Rally However, although Bitcoin peaked at $122,800 on July 14 and has since entered a corrective phase below $120,000, the altcoin has managed to keep up its gains in the days after July 14. This detachment from Bitcoin’s momentum started after the SEC’s approval of ProShares’ XRP ETFs, which has contributed to the crypto asset’s push to a new all-time high of $3.65 in the past 24 hours and its market cap breaking the $200 billion threshold. Interestingly, XRP’s price is now trading in unknown territory, and the next price target for bulls is $4. BarriC’s post begins with a near-term target of $4 for XRP, which many bullish analysts have been watching closely for weeks. From there, BarriC anticipates a rapid expansion into double digits, forecasting a range between $10 and $20. Although the projection did not come with a technical analysis of XRP’s price action, the outlook that truly captures attention is his final projection: a “clear path” that leads XRP beyond the $100 mark and ultimately to a $1,000 valuation. $1,000 XRP: Path Or Pipe Dream? The notion of XRP reaching $1,000 has been discussed in the past but remains a controversial subject. To achieve a price point in the triple digits, its market capitalization would need to exceed $50 trillion, more than double the value of the most valuable public companies in the world combined. Central to BarriC’s prediction of a $1,000 XRP price is based on the belief that its utility in cross-border payments and banking infrastructure will drive its long-term value. A $1,000 XRP becomes realistic only when mass institutional adoption from banks turns transactional demand into structural demand. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Just Hit A Fresh ATH Above $10 Billion, Will Price Follow Next? On the other hand, price targets like $10 and $100 in the coming years are still realistic based on the current fundamentals of the altcoin and the XRP Ledger. The first step is a break above $4, which can only be possible if XRP manages to secure $3 as its new base price going forward. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.44, up by 22% in the past seven days. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
The XRP price is on the rise once again after clearing the resistance that had mounted at the $3 level. This resistance has now been turned into support as the price is now only 15% from its all-time highs of $3.84. Amid this, expectations have begun to rise that the XRP price will reach new all-time highs from here. It suggests that there is still another move coming for the digital asset that could send it higher, and one analyst has advised investors to get ready to sell. XRP’s Next Surge Is A Good Time To Sell In an X post, crypto analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino has given XRP investors a heads up on when they should be getting ready to sell their coins. The post features a price chart that shows that XRP has already beaten $3 and is likely to head up to higher levels. Related Reading: Pundit Warns XRP Investors To Not Make This Grave Mistake This Cycle Severino explained that the XRP price has now entered into price discovery, something that is bullish for the digital asset. Price discovery is a period where market participants, ie buyers and sellers, determine what the value of an asset is through their activities. So far, the market looks to have decided that the XRP altcoin is worth more and has continued its uptrend. Interestingly, the crypto analyst had initially pointed to this possible move months ago in May 2025, showing that XRP had reached a critical level. This was the monthly RSI crash back down to the 67.18 level, and the last time that something similar had happened was back in 2017 before the price surge to all-time highs. In a similar vein, it had taken a few months back then for the trend to play out, but the resulting surge was almost as massive as the first one. As the XRP price seems to be playing out the second surge, the analyst expects that a final surge may be on the way for XRP. However, what is most important here is that investors get ready to take profit during this final surge. Open Interest Points To Possible Peak As the XRP price has risen, so has the open interest as crypto traders take their positions in the digital asset. This surge has seen the XRP open rise to levels never seen before to beat its previous all-time high of $8.33 billion that was set back in January 2025. The XRP open interest has now risen to over $9 billion, according to data from Coinglass. Related Reading: Ethereum Road To $10,000: Replay Of May’s Playbook Predicts Another Breakout Using past performances, this could mean that the top is close for the XRP price.
