Independent market technician EGRAG CRYPTO posted an updated weekly XRP/USD chart on X. The visual, built on Bitfinex data, frames the entire post-July 2024 advance by XRP as the flag-pole of a classic bull-flag continuation pattern and argues that the subsequent ten-week drift has traced out a near-textbook, downward-slanted consolidation channel whose upper and lower rails are highlighted in magenta. XRP Poised For Breakout “The success rate of breaking upwards is around 67–70 percent,” the analyst writes, citing bulk pattern-recognition studies that underpin the set-up’s statistical edge. XRP is trading near $2.30, a value marked on the chart by a blue dotted horizontal line intersecting the body of the flag. Related Reading: XRP To $12: Analyst Reveals What Could Trigger The Breakout Beneath that, a white line at $1.50 records the late-2024 breakout shelf that now functions as first higher-time-frame support, while a deeper red horizontal at roughly $0.60 flags the base from which the current cycle began. Threading up through the entire structure is a rising yellow moving average—visually consistent with the 20-week EMA (currently at $2.21)—underscoring what Egrag calls the market’s “still-positive long-term trend bias.” From that foundation the technician derives three measured-move objectives. “For long-term breakouts I prefer logarithmic charts, especially in crypto, because of its exponential growth over short periods,” he explained. On that basis a log-scale projection extrapolates the full height of the flag-pole and lands at $18.00. A linear projection, which treats each dollar of advance equally, prints a markedly lower $5.50. Taking what he describes as a “liquidity-adjusted average — my preferred method for crypto targets,” Egrag settles on $11.75. Related Reading: Analyst Shows 3-Cycle Ride For XRP Price To Reach $46 Because digital-asset order books remain relatively thin, the analyst overlays a variability band of fifteen to twenty percent, stretching the log target to roughly $20.70–$21.60, the average to $13.51–$14.10 and the linear to $6.33–$6.60. “I usually apply a 15–20 percent variability because crypto liquidity is still smaller compared to legacy markets, so targets can extend both ways,” he cautioned. A disclaimer printed directly on the graphic reiterates that the numbers and targets are “for simulation purposes only and not financial advice.” Even so, the roadmap is clear for Egrag: so long as XRP defends the mid-flag zone near $2.30 and, critically, the structural pivot at $1.50, the technician contends that an eventual breakout could vault the token into double-digit territory, with the headline log objective sitting just beneath the psychologically resonant $20 handle. At press time, XRP traded at $2.28, still hovering just below the upper trendline of the bull flag. A close above the resistance could accelerate the XRP price quickly towards the 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels at $2.50 and $2.71 respectively.

Investors betting on XRP reaching $8 before year’s end may want to take a step back, according to a well-known commentator in the community. Related Reading: Tether’s 2-Year, $5 Billion Investment Blitz Fuels US Companies: CEO XRP analyst Xena asks whether a jump from around $2.31 to $8 is really a big win for a token that many have seen as having much more upside. It’s a reminder that what looks like solid progress might still leave everyday holders waiting for a true breakthrough. Xena Questions $8 As A True Milestone According to Xena, topping $8 would be a solid move, but it falls short of the “life-changing” levels some have talked about for over five years. She points out that other tokens, like Solana and Quant, went from under $1 to double- or triple-digit prices in a few months. XRP has yet to pull off that kind of leap. She asks, “What would be so special about XRP if $8 is what they expect?” Now people get excited by $8 XRP this year. I’m sure the bear is secretly laughing and thinking “only?”. No doubt $8 is better than $2, I don’t question that. But having those influencers being bullish about XRP for years, now getting excited by $8 is laughable. How many… pic.twitter.com/U4MsVaInaw — Xena XRP (@XenaXrp) May 26, 2025 Potential Gains For Big Holders Based on reports, XRP is trading at $2.31, down 1.1% over the last 24 hours and more than 45% below its all-time high. A rise to $8 would mean around 240% gain. That’s nothing to sneeze at. A $60,000 stake could grow to over $206,000. And someone holding $300,000 worth today could pass the $1 million mark. Those are big numbers for those who can afford big bets. Small Wallets Spot Smaller Wins On the flip side, retail investors with smaller holdings would see less dramatic gains. Over 5 million XRP wallets hold about $1,000 worth of the token. At $8 per XRP, those portfolios would climb to roughly $4,000. It’s a welcome return. But it’s not going to buy a new home or wipe out student debt. For many, it’s just a solid profit. Lofty Dreams Of $1,000 Prices Some in the XRP Army have set their sights much higher. They imagine XRP at $1,000. In that case, a $1,000 investment now would be worth around $500,000. According to Matthew Brienen, an executive at CryptoGuard, hitting those levels could take a decade or more. That timeline keeps a true moonshot firmly in the realm of long-term hopes.

Crypto analyst Cryptoinsight has provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price, predicting that it could soon rally to as high as $12. He alluded to fundamentals and technicals, which could spark this parabolic rally. What Could Spark The XRP Price Rally To $12 In a YouTube video, Cryptoinsight highlighted the Dubai Land Department’s recent move to launch a tokenization platform on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) as one of the catalysts that could spark the XRP price rally to $12. He also mentioned other recent partnerships and major moves Ripple has made as factors that could contribute to the price surge. Related Reading: $10,000 XRP Theory: Factors Analyst Shares Scenarios That Could Drive Growth One is the crypto firm’s acquisition of the prime broker Hidden Road, which is expected to boost the XRP Ledger’s utility. This is ultimately bullish for the XRP price as the network’s native token. The crypto analyst also mentioned the alleged link between Hidden Road and the DTCC, which enables the prime broker to process trillions of dollars in US Treasury trades daily. Cryptoinsight also noted that Ripple has acquired a payments license in Dubai, which is bullish for the XRP price, since it is the native token of the crypto firm’s payment services. He alluded to reports of the crypto firm allegedly looking to acquire USDC issuer Circle and the XRP ETFs, whose approval odds continue to soar. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently discussed crypto ETFs, which the analyst believes could be a hint that these ETFs will be approved soon. Lastly, he mentioned the XRP lawsuit as another event that could be a catalyst if the long-running legal battle ends soon. Cryptoinsight predicts that the XRP price rally to $12 could happen in the next few months. From a technical perspective, he also highlighted bullish indicators like a bull flag that had formed on XRP’s weekly chart. The crypto analyst stated that momentum is starting to reverse to the upside and that buyers could step in soon. The Altcoin On The Verge Of A Local Low In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that the XRP price hasn’t made a local low yet but is on the verge of doing that. She remarked that all signs point to a retest of the $2.25 to $2.26 zone. The analyst added that this is a major structural support that aligns with the macro .382 retracement and has been a key level for the last six months. Related Reading: XRP Price Explosion To $5.9: Current Consolidation Won’t Stop XRP From Growing If that support zone holds, she claimed it could mark the base for a new wave toward $2.70. However, if it breaks, the deeper support levels at $1.90 and $1.55 would come back into focus, meaning that the altcoin could still drop below the psychological $2 level before the next leg up. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.30, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Market cap swings nearly $4B as XRP weathers capital outflows, holding firm above 50-day SMA despite global economic headwinds.
The latest webcast from the market commentator known as Crypto Insight UK centres on a single contention: the technical and fundamental backdrop for XRP now mirrors the pre-euphoric set-ups that propelled the token from $0.50 to $2.70 in four weeks during 2021, and it could drive a surge “towards eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve dollars in the very short term.” When Will XRP Hit $12? The analyst began with Bitcoin, because “Bitcoin price action correlates [with] the rest of the market, at least at the minute, before we start to see dominance breakdown.” Last week’s candle, he notes, was the highest weekly close ever recorded by the benchmark asset, yet—critically—the weekly relative-strength index has not entered the overbought zone. In prior cycles, the RSI’s passage into that territory “is when we start to get this mania push-up” that drags alt-coins with it. XRP’s own history is invoked as corroboration: “When we got the weekly into the overbought, that’s when we went from fifty-cent up to $2.70 in the space of like four weeks.” The analyst then drills into order-book heat-maps. Above Bitcoin price lies what he calls a “dense liquidity” cluster, most prominent around $130,000. A matching reservoir sits below, first at $100,000 and then at $93,000. “If we get a pull-back into this $100K level, I will start to heavily position in leverage in altcoins,” he tells viewers, adding that a deeper flush to $93,000 would see him “continue to add to my positions.” Related Reading: XRP Sees Wave Of Inflows: 70% Of Realized Cap Now New Money The market, he argues, is trapped in a self-reinforcing liquidity cycle: each test of overhead supply squeezes shorts, price consolidates, fresh liquidity builds at the new ceiling, and the pattern repeats until a catalyst—a macro loosening of money, a geopolitical shock, or a technical breakout—propels Bitcoin into the next tranche. A sustained move through $130,000, he contends, would likely be that catalyst and would “probably” mark the formal start of alt-season. XRP’s chart is examined through a similar lens. Price has pushed out of what he labels a Wyckoff accumulation range, broken structure to the upside, and is now “finding support on previous resistance” inside a broad bull-flag. On the weekly ratios—XRP/Bitcoin, XRP/Ether and XRP dominance—momentum is quietly inflecting: “We’re starting to get bullish divergences, which is where we see higher lows on the RSI and lower lows in price action … it’s telling us the sellers are running out of steam.” He identifies a descending trend-line capping the consolidation; once that line breaks, he anticipates “an aggressive move back to the upside for XRP.” XRP Price Catalysts The webcast’s second movement shifts from charts to narrative catalysts. Here the analyst reels off a series of developments he regards as unusually synchronous. Reece Merrick, Ripple’s managing director for the Middle East and Africa, has just unveiled a partnership with the Dubai Land Department that tokenises real-estate title deeds on the XRP Ledger, a choice the press release describes as grounded in the chain’s “decade-long reliability.” Related Reading: Analyst Shows 3-Cycle Ride For XRP Price To Reach $46 Ripple has closed its acquisition of Hidden Road, a prime brokerage whose name appears in DTCC documentation that references both XRP and XLM for cross-chain settlement. The firm, he reminds viewers, also holds “the full crypto payments license and settlement ability in Dubai.” Speculation that Ripple might purchase Circle—the issuer of USDC—for about $11 billion, though unconfirmed, is folded into the same bullish mosaic, as is the launch of Ripple’s own RLUSD stablecoin and talk of a looming XRP spot-ETF. Brad Garlinghouse himself, the analyst notes, chose ETFs as the single topic for last Thursday’s edition of Ripple’s “Crypto in a Minute,” having already mused on a podcast that an approval could arrive in July. In Washington, the analyst is watching for passage of the GENIUS stablecoin bill, timing he calls “very convenient” for RLUSD. Even the on-going SEC litigation—Judge Analisa Torres recently rejected the agency’s procedural bid to bring the penalty phase to a close—is framed not as a hindrance but as a potential upside catalyst once resolved. Taken together, he argues, these technical and narrative strands form a spring: “What I’m basically trying to set you up for here, guys, is a succession of positive narratives that will squeeze XRP’s price higher as we move into price discovery.” Yet his crescendo is tempered by disciplined risk management. He illustrates the peril of euphoria with hypothetical road-maps: Bitcoin might gallop to $150,000 or $170,000 and then recoil 18%; altcoins could shed twice that. Under one XRP scenario, an advance to $12 is followed by a 64% retracement to $4.50. “Take some money off the table,” he urges, because unrealised gains “aren’t good for anybody.” Profits banked at interim targets equip the trader both to enjoy further upside and to “reallocate if we get a pull-back.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.30.

On-chain data shows more than 70% of all capital stored in XRP came into the network alongside the high prices of the last six months. Over 70% Of XRP Realized Cap Is Six Months Old Or Younger In a post on X, Glassnode senior researcher CryptoVizArt.₿ has talked about the capital inflow situation related to XRP. The indicator of relevance here is the “Realized Cap,” which is a model that, in short, keeps track of the sum of the cost bases of all addresses on the network. Related Reading: Bitcoin Extreme Greed Is Here—Time To Be A Contrarian? In other words, the indicator provides an estimate of the total amount of capital that the holders as a whole have invested into the cryptocurrency. Below is the chart shared by the analyst that shows how this metric has changed for XRP over the past decade. As is visible in the graph, the XRP Realized Cap (black curve) has witnessed an explosion alongside the recent bullish push in the asset’s price. This would imply that a large amount of new capital has come into the cryptocurrency. In the same chart, the Glassnode researcher has also attached the data related to the Realized Cap associated with the different coin groups younger than six months. The aggregated Realized Cap has seen its growth during the past six months, so it’s not surprising to see that the capital held by cohorts falling in this age range has seen its share of the indicator blow up. This massive capital wouldn’t be in any significant profit, however, considering the price levels at which it has flowed in. After all, the window of the past six months is mostly just the cryptocurrency’s top and the subsequent phase of stagnation that’s still ongoing today. “Over 70% of the capital locked in XRP was deployed near the top over the past 6 months,” notes the analyst. Naturally, this could put the digital asset in a delicate situation, as it wouldn’t take much of a drawdown to throw all these investors into the red. It now remains to be seen how the coin would develop in the near future and whether capital would continue to flow in, despite the fact that its price has been unable to revisit the highs from January. In some other news, the XRP network has seen a sharp decline in the Number of Active Addresses since the March peak, as CryptoVizArt.₿ has pointed out in another X post. The Number of Active Addresses is an indicator that measures, as its name suggests, the number of addresses taking part in transaction activity on the XRP network every day. Related Reading: Bitcoin From Pizza Day Era Still On The Move, Glassnode Reveals From the chart, it’s apparent that the Number of Active Addresses set a huge peak in March of this year, but since then, activity on the blockchain has taken a severe hit as the metric has gone down by more than 90%.

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has predicted that the XRP price can reach $46 based on a historical pattern recorded in the first market cycle. Meanwhile, his analysis of the 3-cycle ride also showed that the altcoin can still reach double digits if it mirrors patterns recorded in other cycles. XRP Price To Reach $46 If It Mirrors Cycle One In an X post, Egrag Crypto stated that market participants could see the XRP price touching $46 if the altcoin repeats a pattern like the first cycle. He highlighted the historical pattern in cycle one, in which XRP dropped below the 21 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and then dropped an incredible 5,550%. The altcoin then retraced back to the 21 EMA and then dropped another 2,500%. Related Reading: XRP Price To See 64,000% Rally To $1,700? Analysts Reveal End Of Year Predictions Meanwhile, the crypto analyst predicts that the XRP price can reach $12 if it follows cycle 2. In the second cycle, XRP dropped below the 21 EMA, which led to a 150% breakdown. The altcoin then retraced to the 21 EMA, before it fell again by 500%. Egrag Crypto noted that averaging these projections of a 2,500% and 500% surge gives almost 1,500%, which roughly suggests a target of $30. However, the analyst stated that his estimate is $27. Commenting on this current cycle, which is the third cycle, the analyst revealed that the XRP price has dropped below the 21 EMA, with a potential rise of 430%. He further noted that the altcoin is retracing back to touch the 21 EMA. If XRP stays above $2, Egrag Crypto claims that the EMA will descend to meet the price. He affirmed that it is coming and very soon. The Altcoin To Hit $27 In Just 60 Days? In another analysis, Egrag Crypto raised the possibility of the XRP price gaining 1,700% and rallying to $27 in just 60 days. He stated that if XRP is repeating the last section or pattern from October 2017, then the altcoin might be on the brink of a major breakout soon. Back then, it took the altcoin about 63 days to explode and set a new all-time high (ATH), surging by 1,772%. Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Bullish Reversal Setup With This Demand Zone If history repeats itself, Egrag Crypto is confident that the XRP price could be approaching $27 within the next 63 days. He reminded market participants that securing profits along the way is always wise as the altcoin rallies to this target. The analyst also revealed that breaking the $3 mark, the high from the February 24 candle this year, is the ultimate target in preparation for the rally to double digits. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.33, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
A well-known crypto analyst, going by the name Egrag Crypto, has laid out some eye-popping targets for XRP. According to his charts, the token could climb as high as $45, a 2,700% jump from its current price. A more modest scenario would still send it to $19, up a little over 1,000%. He points to past cycles where similar moves took shape over roughly 770 days. Yet not everyone is on board with his bullish outlook. Related Reading: Investors Pour $2.75 Billion Into Bitcoin ETFs As Price Skyrockets Historical Moves And Cycle Timing Based on reports, Egrag Crypto stresses that XRP’s rallies in 2017 and 2021 followed almost identical paths. The token hit $3.25 in 2017 after surging 2,770%. Then in 2021 it jumped 1,052% to about $1.80. Each rally was marked by a bearish crossover on the 21 EMA and the 33 MA, followed by sideway trading for around 777 days after the 2018 peak and 770 days after the 2021 high. He believes the same setup started late in 2024, when XRP climbed nearly sixfold from its previous low. #XRP – Targeting $19 or $45? ????Charts Men lie, women lie, but charts don’t! ???? I’m not improvising here; I’m relying on historical data to present future predictions. Will it rhyme exactly? No, because if it were that easy, everyone would be a multimillionaire! ???? ????Human… pic.twitter.com/YasA4k98fd — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) April 11, 2025 Bullish Targets And Risks According to the analysis, a repeat of past moves could push XRP as high as $45. A less aggressive run would still see it reach $19. Egrag Crypto even points to an intermediate target of about $27 as a likely milestone. Those numbers assume a straight path up, but markets rarely move in straight lines. Big jumps often end with sharp pullbacks. Traders chasing 2,700% gains could face long wait times and steep drops. Bearish Views Gain Ground Other voices warn against getting swept up in the hype. Market watcher Koroush says now is a time for shorts. He pegs a possible decline to $1.30. Others favor a short bias, pointing to weakening demand and faltering momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $125K By End Of Q2? Bold Call From Bybit Executive Advice For Traders Egrag Crypto recommends a simple Dollar-Cost Averaging plan. Buy small amounts at regular intervals. That way, no one big buy leaves you exposed. He says to sell in slices, too. Lock in gains at key levels instead of betting everything on the top. This kind of step-by-step play can cut losses and smooth out wild swings. Looking Ahead The debate around XRP’s next phase is far from over. Historical charts show one side of the story. On-chain trends, legal battles, and macro factors tell another. If charts really don’t lie, as Egrag Crypto quips, XRP might be gearing up for a fireworks show. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
Investor optimism for a spot XRP ETF has climbed sharply. Based on Polymarket’s data, the odds of a green light sit at 83%. That figure comes even as the US Securities and Exchange Commission keeps pushing decisions back. Some industry watchers say the regulator simply uses its full review window. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $125K By End Of Q2? Bold Call From Bybit Executive Analyst Predictions And Timeline According to Bloomberg’s James Seyffart, the SEC often takes the full 240 days to weigh 19b-4 filings. He pointed out that the agency asked for an extra 45 days on May 20 to rule on Bitwise’s Ether staking change, moving the deadline to May 22. Based on his posts on X, almost all spot ETF bids now face final due dates in October. That makes any early summer approvals highly unlikely. Spot Versus Futures Products On May 19, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange rolled out an XRP futures contract for the first time. A few days later, Volatility Shares listed the XRPI futures ETF on Nasdaq. Then Tectrium added a 2x Long Daily XRP ETF for those seeking more leverage. These products let traders bet on XRP’s future price in a regulated setting. They are not the same as a spot ETF, but they signal growing interest among big investors. Institutional Access Through ETFs Based on reports, Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, spoke on the company’s podcast about why ETFs matter. He said ETFs let Wall Street buy crypto without wrestling with exchanges or private wallets. He highlighted that the Bitcoin ETF hit $1 billion in assets faster than any other, and then reached $10 billion on record. That track record, he argued, paves the way for similar products tied to XRP. Market Outlook And Caution According to SEC filings and industry chatter, delays are normal. The commission has already postponed decisions on Grayscale’s XRP tracking fund and a Solana ETF. Related Reading: Investors Pour $2.75 Billion Into Bitcoin ETFs As Price Skyrockets Analysts warn that odds in prediction markets can shift wildly. An 83% chance today could drop if the SEC raises new questions or requests another comment period. Investors should keep an eye on the calendar as October approaches. Excitement And Patience The buzz around an XRP spot ETF reflects real excitement, but history shows regulators move slowly. Futures ETFs like XRPI offer one path into XRP’s market, yet they come with quirks like contango and premium swings. For now, institutions and retail traders alike will watch the SEC’s deadlines with keen interest—and maybe a bit of patience. Featured image from Gemini Imagen, chart from TradingView

XRP price has entered into another consolidation pattern following its break below $2.4 over the weekend. Now, this is nothing new for XRP, which has previously gone on years-long consolidations before now. Just like before, the current consolidations seems to be preceding something bigger and this move could send the altcoin soaring toward new all-time highs. XRP Price Still Holding Above Key Support In an analysis, “Dennishhrndz” showed where the XRP price is currently sitting and the factors that are surrounding the altcoin right now. Firstly, he explains that the cryptocurrency is still trading above a long-term rising trend line. Furthermore, there is tight consolidation in a bullish compression patter, which he likened to a classic “coiled spring.” Related Reading: Ethereum Nears $2,800 Break-Even Zone: Why This Is Important For Rally To $3,000 Not only this, but over the last six months, the XRP price has also been putting in higher lows, a development that is bullish for the price of any cryptocurrency. Since XRP is maintaining this trend, it suggests that there is still bullish firepower despite the price decline. Add in the fact that it is still trading above a very important trendline support, XRP is showing that its uptrend is far from over. The trendline support here is sitting at $2, and with the XRP price still skirting around $2.3, it is still more than 10% away before testing this support level. Inversely, the major resistance outlined by the crypto analyst is one at the $2.7 level. This suggests a run-up before the XRP price encounters any major pushback. Other important developments to note is the fact that the RSI is now sitting in a neutral position. At a 50.88 RSI, give or take, it means that the RSI is resetting. This gives it a fresh start and a bounce board that could help it take off toward the next major level. The MACD is also seeing a bullish crossover as the momentum has been rising slowly during this time. This also follows the decline in the trading volume. Now, low trading volumes often signal bearish control but they also serve as a signal leading up to breakout patterns. When To Get In Given the developments outlined by the crypto analyst, he gives two major buy levels. The first one here is the $2 to $2.2 zone. This is where support for the XRP price lies and serves as a buy zone. Meanwhile, the second level to get in is after the break above $2.7 with strong volume, which would signal continuation.

First is a run-up to $3.50, and then the crypto analyst sees a shot to $5. “The longer this consolidates above trendline support, the stronger the breakout move will be,” the analyst said.

XRP price started a consolidation phase above the $2.250 zone. The price is now rising and might aim for an upside break above $2.350. XRP price started a decent increase above the $2.30 zone. The price is now trading below $2.350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $2.30 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might start another increase if it clears the $2.380 resistance. XRP Price Eyes Fresh Gains XRP price started a downside correction below the $2.420 level, following Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a move below the $2.350 and $2.30 levels. However, the bulls were active near the $2.650 level. A low was formed at $2.2670 and the price is now recovering. The price even surpassed the $2.300 resistance. There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $2.30 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair even surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.4767 swing high to the $2.2670 low. The price is now trading below $2.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.380 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.4767 swing high to the $2.2670 low. The first major resistance is near the $2.40 level. The next resistance is $2.420. A clear move above the $2.420 resistance might send the price toward the $2.480 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.550 resistance or even $2.5650 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.650. Another Decline? If XRP fails to clear the $2.380 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.320 level. The next major support is near the $2.30 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.30 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.2650 support. The next major support sits near the $2.250 zone. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now gaining pace in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.320 and $2.30. Major Resistance Levels – $2.380 and $2.420.
Heavy volume trading creates a double-bottom pattern while institutional interest remains strong despite correction.
BankSocial’s CEO, John Wingate, stirred up chatter this week by saying he met with Ripple’s team. He called it “possibly the greatest meeting in the history of international settlements.” It got people talking about whether BankSocial, Hedera, XRP and Ripple are about to team up in a big way. But so far, no one outside Wingate’s circle has confirmed a deal. Related Reading: Investors Pour $2.75 Billion Into Bitcoin ETFs As Price Skyrockets BankSocial Adds XRP To Roadmap Based on reports, Wingate still sees HBAR as a major piece of BankSocial’s plan. He wrote that HBAR will power backend operations and state checks. He also said XRP is now part of the mix. That hints at a dual-chain setup, with HBAR handling the heavy lifting and XRP moving money between borders. His words were clear: HBAR stays core, but XRP steps into the picture too. Just had a meeting with the @Ripple team. A great meeting. Maybe the greatest meeting in the history of international settlements.@hedera and $HBAR are still a huge part of the strategy. And now, so is $XRP You’re not thinking BIG enough. Think BIG – then 1000000000x it. — John Wingate (@PresidentHODL) May 23, 2025 Three Tokens, Three Roles According to Wingate, each token has its job. HBAR runs the Hedera Consensus Service for checking states and handling network messages. XRP moves cash across borders, especially into certain jurisdictions. BSL, BankSocial’s own token, is for lending, staking and running its DAO. Short story: HBAR does the engine work, XRP moves the money, and BSL runs the bank’s in-house features. Billion-X Ambitions In his post, Wingate challenged followers to “think BIG, then 1,000,000,000x it.” He wants a massive network that links banks, blockchains and countries. That’s a big ask. It points to a goal of tokenizing real-world assets and moving them without the usual delays or fees. If it works, it could reshape how banks use blockchain tech. But he didn’t share any timelines or proof of concept. Multichain. XRP too ???? — BankSocial.io (@BANKSOCIALio) May 19, 2025 Unconfirmed Partnership Details On May 19, BankSocial replied to a teaser about its new platform with “Multichain. XRP too.” That suggests the upcoming system—built on Hedera—will add XRP Ledger support. Yet there’s no press release from Ripple or Hedera saying they’ve signed on. Based on reports, this remains a well-publicized rumor more than a formal pact. Developers and users haven’t seen a test network or demo. Related Reading: Singaporean Crypto Investors Boost XRP Holdings To 17%, Report Finds Wingate also hinted at this two-chain plan back in March. He said BankSocial works with banks and governments on asset tokenization and cross-border cash movement. He named both XRP and HBAR as “major components.” He even pointed out they’re part of the DeRec Alliance, a group set on building open finance tools. For now, the market is watching. If BankSocial can pull off a three-token setup, it might open new paths for banks to handle crypto and stocks directly from customer accounts. But until code appears or an official alliance is announced, this is still a story in progress. Keep an eye on Wingate’s next posts and any updates from Ripple or Hedera.

Singapore’s crypto crowd is shifting its focus beyond Bitcoin. Interest in XRP has climbed as more traders add the token to their portfolios. The change comes even as Bitcoin remains the top holding. Related Reading: Investors Pour $2.75 Billion Into Bitcoin ETFs As Price Skyrockets Crypto Awareness At Record High According to the 2025 Independent Reserve Crypto Index for Singapore, 94% of locals are familiar with at least one cryptocurrency. That’s a big jump from previous years. Bitcoin still leads the pack—91% know it by name. And it makes up 68% of the average investor’s crypto stash. Yet the fact that almost everyone can name a digital coin shows that Singapore’s trading scene is maturing. Singaporean Investors are increasing their XRP holdings.???? https://t.co/ydq9PGwmXj pic.twitter.com/aK9H85ZVwb — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) May 22, 2025 XRP Ownership On The Rise Based on reports from Milieu Insight Market Research, XRP saw one of the strongest gains among altcoins. It now represents 17% of crypto holdings in Singapore, up from 14% last year. Ethereum grew even more, climbing from 41% to 48%. Solana ticked up from 17% to 19%, while Dogecoin rose only 1 point, from 18% to 19%. Still, XRP’s 3-point boost hints at growing trust in its payment-focused design. Monthly Investments Varied Widely Investors in Singapore are not all spending the same amount each month. About 57% put in less than $500. Another 29% contribute between $500 and $1,000. Only 10% dedicate more than $1,000 each month to steadier “dollar-cost averaging.” Those figures suggest that most people treat crypto as a side play rather than a full-time career. Stablecoin Trends And RLUSD Stablecoins are also part of the mix. Roughly 46% of respondents said they own—or once owned—these US-pegged assets. Of that group, 21% hold them now, while 25% have moved on. Eighty-three percent prefer USD-pegged coins. In that context, Ripple’s new RLUSD has reached a $310 million market cap in just a few months. Ripple’s APAC managing director, Fiona Murray, said the coin is not just for trading but also for cross-border payments and DeFi work.

A Bitso report found that Latin American buyers favored XRP over Ethereum and Solana in 2024. With XRP adoption growing both regionally and in APAC, its role could shift from an afterthought to a core part of retail and institutional strategies. For now, Bitcoin’s dominance remains solid. Still, altcoin allocations are climbing—and XRP is leading that charge. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
XRP prices have fallen 4.08% in the past day alongside the majority of the crypto market following the US announcement of a potential 50% tariff on goods being imported from the European Union (EU). Amid this market downturn, popular market analyst CasiTrades has stated that XRP lies in danger of a further decline should a particular support level fail. Related Reading: Ethereum Holds Above Key Prices – Data Points To $2,900 Level As Bullish Trigger XRP Must Avoid Crash Below $2.25 – $2.26 As Bitcoin prices reached a new all-time high in the past week, XRP followed suit, reaching as high as $2.45 before experiencing a price rejection driven by negative macroeconomic pressure due to the new international tariffs by the US Government. In the day, XRP price notably declined by over 5% from $2.45 to $2.33 before finding some stability to enter a sideways movement as seen in the last few hours. According to CasiTrades, XRP’s rejection aligns with a 1:1 Fibonacci extension of the corrective C-wave pattern in the Elliott Wave Theory, signaling the possible exhaustion of the previous relief rally seen earlier in the week. Notably, the analyst warns that XRP’s decline may lead to a retest of “major structural support” at the $2.25 – $2.26 price zone, which aligns with the Fibonacci retracement level 0.382. CasiTrades explains that Fib 0.382 has represented a key technical price level over the past six months. Therefore, a price break below this level could trigger deeper corrections, forcing XRP’s price as low as $1.55 – $1.90, a price move that would wipe out all price gains that have been recorded since the crypto market uptrend resumed in early April. However, if the $2.25 – $2.26 support zone holds, such market resilience could trigger a new price rally to around $2.70 and beyond. Thereafter, XRP is likely to return to the local peak of the current bull run at $3.84. Related Reading: Bitcoin Buyers Regain Control – Spot CVD Flashes Bullish Shift Above $110,000 XRP Price Overview At the time of writing, XRP continues to trade at $2.33 following a 1.45% decline in the past week.

After mirroring Bitcoin’s strong breakout over the past week, XRP recently surged to an intraday high of $2.47 before retracing to a lower daily close. Despite this, the broader outlook for XRP is bullish, with the altcoin generally moving in lockstep with Bitcoin and the wider crypto rally. According to recent analysis, a key technical signal just flashed, one that previously preceded a massive 600% rally in November 2024. Familiar Weekly RSI Signal Returns After 200 Days According to crypto analyst Dark Defender, XRP has once again produced a rare Golden Cross on its weekly RSI indicator, an event that last occurred on November 4, 2024. That signal directly preceded XRP’s explosive 600% rally, and its reappearance points to the potential emergence of a similar trajectory for the crypto. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Explains XRP Price Roadmap To $37 As Bears Fight For Control Notably, the appearance of the new RSI cross coincides with the elimination of a long-standing weekly resistance trendline after XRP broke to $2.59 on May 14. The analyst’s chart clearly highlights this breakout, with a bright green trendline now breached and a bullish pin bar candlestick forming just above it, adding strength to the bullish case. The RSI’s behavior in the 1W candlestick timeframe chart below is also particularly telling. The purple RSI line has crossed above the yellow moving average once again, exactly as it did in early November 2024. Back then, XRP flashed the cross when its price was trading around $0.5. However, the ensuing price action saw it explode by over 600% to peak at a multi-year high around $3.31 on January 12, 2025. $3.33 In Sight, But $5.85 May Be The Real Prize Considering the previous price action after the weekly RSI cross in late 2024, crypto analyst Dark Defender’s outlook is based on repeating the same 600% rally or close in the coming weeks. Following this development, Dark Defender has outlined two key price targets. Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Bullish Reversal Setup With This Demand Zone The first is $3.33, close to the multi-year peak in January 2025. Should XRP break past that level, the next major target lies around $5.85, corresponding to the 261.8% Fibonacci level. The analyst refers to this upper range as the parapet, meaning that this level could be the next all-time high peak after the price rally. The Elliott Wave structure plotted on the chart outlines a five-wave impulsive move, and XRP is now about to enter wave III, the longest and most powerful wave in a bullish cycle. If this structure plays out as expected, XRP could rapidly push through $2.59, hold above $3.33, and rally toward the upper boundary of the projection range. Interestingly, none of these price targets uses a repeat of the full 600% rally. The $3.33 target is 43% away from the current price level, while $5.85 represents a 150% gain from the current price. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.34. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview.com
According to an analyst, XRP could jump to $27 within about 60 days if it really does follow the same path it took back in 2017. The market expert points out that the token is acting a lot like it did before, and that has some traders watching closely. The setup is simple: repeat history, hit big targets, cash out along the way. Related Reading: Traders Pile In: Bitcoin Open Interest Hits All-Time High As Price Nears $112K XRP Fractal Moves Mirror 2017 Based on reports, XRP first climbed from $0.0055 in March 2017 to $0.3988 by May of that year. Then it cooled off for roughly six months. In its current run, XRP lagged around $0.50 through most of 2023 and into early 2024. After the US elections in November 2024, it shot up nearly 600%—from $0.50 to $3.40 by January 2025. Now it’s pulled back and is sitting still. That pattern looks a lot like what happened eight years ago. #XRP – Fib Circle & The Surge (1700% in just 60 Days!): If #XRP is repeating the last section or pattern from October 2017, we might be on the brink of a major breakout soon! ????

First is $8.49 (the 1.272 Fib extension). Next sits at $13.79 (1.414 Fib). Finally, if the token truly repeats 2017’s second wave—a 1,772% surge—it would top out near $27. To get there in 60 days is a stretch. But the math lines up if history really does rhyme. Traders are being told to book gains along the way instead of waiting for that final number. Support Lines Hold The Key He also notes that XRP needs to stay above the 21-week exponential moving average. That line is around $2.30 right now. XRP trades at about $2.33, so it’s only just ahead. If price dips under that moving average, the bullish case starts to wobble. A drop below $2.30 could see sellers step in and push it back toward tougher floors, like the $2.00 zone or other support bands from on-chain data. ???? #XRP is about to enter one of the most important moments in its history.

According to a recent analysis from popular XRP commentator BarriC, the token’s current price makes it a tempting buy. He pointed to the fact that XRP sits at about $2.35 right now. That price is low compared with where he thinks it will go. He told followers to pick up as much as they can while the chance is there. Related Reading: Analyst Drops Dogecoin Bombshell: 174% Surge To $0.65 In Sight XRP Trading Below $3 XRP has climbed about 350% over the past year. That beat gains in some of the top altcoins in the market today. Yet many still see the move as slow. At $2.39 per coin, that view is easy to understand. Even so, BarriC calls anything under $3 a bargain. Predictions For A Rally Based on examination from his Twitter thread, BarriC expects XRP to hit $10 first. He then sees it pushing to $20 in the months ahead. Those moves would set a new high during what he calls the next alt season. If those figures come true, buyers who got in under $3 would see roughly a seven-fold gain at the $20 mark. $XRP will become very expensive to buy in the next few months and the next few years Right now, you can accumulate $XRP below $3 And somehow that’s considered a failure When $XRP skyrockets over the next few months and hits $10-$20 per #XRP That’s the new all time high… — BarriC (@B_arri_C) May 17, 2025 … But Possible Correction Ahead BarriC also warned of a pullback after a big rise. He thinks XRP could drop by about 50% once it reaches $20. That would put it back in the $5–$10 range. He sees that dip as a fresh chance to buy in. Even then, $5 is still higher than today’s $2.39. Long Term Vision For XRP Looking past the next cycle, BarriC outlined a bold scenario. He believes banks and big payment firms will use XRP for daily money transfers. In that case, demand could send the price all the way to $1,000 within 10 years. When banks start using $XRP We will know because of the insane price per $XRP We will see prices like $100, $500, $1,000 Per #XRP The fact that we can still accumulate $XRP at approx $2 means that banks aren’t utilising $XRP …. YET Once that day comes Once banks and… — BarriC (@B_arri_C) May 3, 2025 To reach that level, XRP’s market cap would top $58 trillion. That would put it on par with major pieces of the global money system. Technical Signals And Short-Term Outlook Technical indicators point to a possible drop to around $2.21 by June 22, 2025, which would be a -9.20% change from now. The current sentiment gauge reads Bullish, but the Fear & Greed Index sits at 0. Over the past 30 days, XRP had 13 out of 30 green days and showed about 5.10% price swings. Those numbers hint at mixed views. Some traders see room to run. Others expect more choppy action before the next big move.

Either way, investors will have to decide how much risk they want for the chance at a big payout in the years to come. Featured image from Gemini Imagen, chart from TradingView

That jump has lifted many altcoins, and XRP is no exception. Another analyst pointed out that Bitcoin rose from $27k to $74k over about two years, while XRP could match that rise in a much shorter span. It’s a bold claim, but the timing does feel ripe. ETF Approval Odds Based on prediction by Polymarket, there’s an 83% chance the SEC will approve an XRP ETF. Big names like Bitwise and Grayscale have filings in play. If those get the green light, institutional flows could pour in. Some US-listed leveraged XRP futures already trade heavily, showing strong demand. Whales And Wider Trends Whale wallets keep accumulating XRP, adding to the buzz. Every time large holders buy, prices tend to spike. At the same time, broader market mood matters. If Bitcoin pulls back, altcoins often follow. But right now, the tide seems to be turning in XRP’s favor.

As Bitcoin extends its parabolic climb past $110,000, a closely followed crypto analyst is sounding the alarm for what could be XRP’s most explosive breakout in years. 470% XRP Rally Reloaded? In a market breakdown published on May 22, Cryptoinsightuk (@Cryptoinsightuk)—who has been tracking inverse correlations between the dollar index (DXY) and Bitcoin—told followers that XRP is approaching a critical moment in its historical pattern. Drawing on technical signals and liquidity metrics, the analyst argued that XRP could replicate its late 2020-style breakout, which saw a 470% rally in just 28 days. “Bitcoin is at all-time highs,” he said at the start of the video. “Now we need to lock in because where things could get really exciting is what’s next.” His focus quickly shifted to XRP, which he believes is tracing a setup eerily similar to a period that preceded its 5x surge. The analyst highlighted a “substantial break of the range” on XRP’s chart that historically has marked the start of altseason. “This is the area where XRP outperformed the market,” he noted, referring to a 28-day span starting November 5 during which XRP surged from $0.50 to over $2.70. Related Reading: XRP Price To See 64,000% Rally To $1,700? Analysts Reveal End Of Year Predictions He pointed out that XRP’s historical outperformance came immediately after Bitcoin made a clean break above resistance, and critically, during a sharp decline in Bitcoin dominance—a metric that tracks Bitcoin’s share of the total crypto market cap. “This was the drop that saw XRP move up from 50 cents to $2.70, and then continue to $3.30,” he said. “Now we’re watching for signs of that again.” According to the analysis, XRP’s bullish potential hinges on a few key technical signals aligning. First, he noted a possible bullish divergence forming on the RSI (Relative Strength Index) of the XRP/ETH and XRP/BTC pairs, which could suggest that bearish momentum is fading even as price pulls back. “It’s essentially showing that even though price is going lower, momentum is not there to the downside,” he explained. Related Reading: Massive XRP Selling Pressure Is Stalling Price Action, Analyst Warns The analyst also emphasized the importance of daily closes above certain resistance levels, particularly $2.43 and $2.60, to confirm the start of a renewed uptrend. “That would be a nice daily close… and then we’re targeting $2.60. If we break above that, we’re confirming a new higher high, higher low structure,” he said, adding that the next major resistance lies between $3.40 and $3.00—beyond which, price discovery could begin. Altcoin Season Incoming Beyond XRP, he warned that broader market dynamics also support a shift into altcoins. “What we’ve seen is more and more people trying to short local tops. That takes us higher,” he explained. He cited rising short positions above current price levels as evidence of “pain liquidity”—a squeeze dynamic that could force price action sharply upward. While the rally has begun with Bitcoin, he believes altcoins are poised to follow, with Ethereum already showing signs of rotation. “We want Bitcoin dominance to kind of hold while price moves up,” he said, “and then for liquidity to rotate into altcoins.” Still, Cryptoinsightuk urged caution. “It’s a day to be excited, not a day to rush into trades,” he said. “This is why I’ve been screaming all year to buy the dip,” he added, “whether in XRP, ENA or whatever you want. The setup is here.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.445. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
Traders are rotating into major altcoins like XRP and Solana’s SOL as bitcoin consolidates near its record highs.
XRP price started a consolidation phase above the $2.40 zone. The price is now rising and might aim for an upside break above $2.50. XRP price started a decent increase above the $2.40 zone. The price is now trading above $2.420 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a key rising channel with resistance at $2.450 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might start another increase if it clears the $2.480 resistance. XRP Price Eyes More Gains XRP price remained supported above the $0.2320 level and started a fresh increase, following Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a move above the $0.2350 and $0.2365 resistance levels. The price even surpassed the $0.240 resistance. There was a break above a key rising channel with resistance at $2.450 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The bulls pushed the price toward the $0.250 level.

The price is now trading above $2.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.480 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.50 level. The next resistance is $2.550. A clear move above the $2.550 resistance might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.720 resistance or even $2.750 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.80. Are Dips Limited?
