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.

However, the altcoin is up by 9.77% in the past month, reflecting that the majority of new market entrants are still in profit. In other positive news, Volatility shares launched an XRP futures exchange-traded fund (ETF) on May 22. It is a 1x fund, indicating that it would track the daily performance of XRP futures contracts with no leverage.

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

XRP price forecasts have taken a dramatic turn as bold predictions surface, suggesting that the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a parabolic 64,000% rally to $1,700. Analysts backing this ambitious forecast point to historical price patterns and XRP’s current technical structure as the basis for their end-of-the-year predictions. A chart shared by crypto analyst The Real Remi Relief on X (formerly Twitter) shows that XRP is mirroring a technical pattern that preceded its 2017-2018 historical bull run — one that saw the third largest cryptocurrency skyrocket by tens of thousands of percent in just a few months. Now that this historical pattern is unfolding, the analyst has confirmed that a breakout is on the horizon for XRP, with projections pointing toward a potential price target as high as $1,700. XRP Price End Of Year Forecast The chart shows two distinct consolidation phases in XRP’s price action — the first spanning from 2014 to 2017 and the second lasting from 2018 until early 2024. During both periods, the cryptocurrency underwent a long-term compression under a descending resistance line. This compression was followed by a breakout, retest, and vertical price expansion. Related Reading: XRP Moves Into Key Range Against Bitcoin As 3 Major Targets Show Up Notably, this breakout in 2017 led to XRP reaching its historical all-time high of $3.84 — a level it hasn’t revisited for over six years. Earlier this year, XRP experienced a similar breakout that pushed it above the multi-year downtrend. The current chart shows that the cryptocurrency’s retest is holding steady, and this pattern has previously preceded massive rallies during the past bull cycles. As a result, Real Remi Relief argues that history is on the verge of repeating itself. According to his end-of-year forecast for XRP, the cryptocurrency is poised for a staggering 64,000% rally, placing its price at a jaw-dropping $1,700 per token by as early as Q4 2025 or Q1 2026. While the timeline could extend into the following year, the outlook still frames 2025 as a bullish turning point for XRP, with strong potential for the altcoin to close the year in a strong green. Interestingly, the crypto expert has also shared a more conservative target, predicting that XRP could record a still ambitious, but more realistic surge to $1,200 by year’s end. XRP Could Skyrocket Even Higher By 150,000% While the Real Remi Relief’s $1,700 price projection for XRP is undeniably bold, the analyst goes even further, speculating that the cryptocurrency’s total upside potential in this cycle could soar as high as 80,000% and 150,000%. This surge could catapult XRP’s current price of $2.4 to an astonishing $1,920 and $3,600, respectively. Related Reading: XRP: Exit Liquidity Pattern Forming Signals Crash To $1 Such gains would not only eclipse XRP’s previous all-time high but also represent one of the most dramatic asset revaluations in crypto history. Skepticism remains, of course, particularly amongst commentators under the analyst’s X post, who view this bold forecast as an almost impossible goal.

In a recent update on X, market analyst CRYPTOWZRD highlighted a developing double bottom formation on the XRPBTC chart, suggesting a possible bullish reversal may be underway. Although XRP ended the previous session with indecisive movements, this emerging pattern could drive its price action higher. Should the reversal confirm, XRP is likely to push toward the $2.80 resistance zone. Bitcoin Dominance Pressures Altcoins, XRP Included Expanding on his initial analysis, the analyst noted that XRP and XRPBTC closed their daily candles indecisively, reflecting ongoing market uncertainty and a lack of strong directional action. While XRPBTC is currently holding above a key double bottom formation, the analyst emphasized that the pair still appears relatively weak and requires more stable and constructive price action to confirm a bullish breakout. A strong reaction from this level could serve as a catalyst, helping XRP gain momentum from its current position on the chart. Related Reading: XRP Price Will Still Rally From Here, Crypto Veteran Raoul Pal Forecasts He also pointed out that Bitcoin dominance continues to exert pressure on altcoins, including XRP, causing them to underperform in their BTC pairs. As Bitcoin dominance approaches a major resistance level, the analyst anticipates a reversal that could shift capital flow back into altcoins. Such a reversal would provide a favorable environment and support a broader bullish continuation for XRP. Looking ahead, the analyst stated that his focus will remain on the lower time frames throughout the next trading session to determine the next scalp opportunity, particularly if XRPBTC begins to show signs of recovery and buyers step in with stronger momentum. Waiting On Confirmation: No Entry Without A Clear Move Concluding his analysis, the analyst provided his outlook for the near-term price action, noting that intraday trading was choppy and lacked clear direction throughout the session. Despite the indecisiveness, he predicts a potential upside continuation if the price breaks above the $2.4650 intraday resistance level. Related Reading: Massive XRP Selling Pressure Is Stalling Price Action, Analyst Warns Conversely, he identified $2.3160 as a crucial intraday support level, where buyers may step in if the market pulls back. This zone will be important to watch, as a breakdown below it could delay any immediate bullish momentum and signal further consolidation. The price action between these two levels will likely define the short-term direction for XRP. He emphasized that patience is key at this stage, urging traders to wait for a clear and healthy move before considering new entries. With market conditions still uncertain, the analyst plans to stay focused on refined setups and mature formations to ensure higher-probability trades in the sessions ahead.

Crypto analyst Galaxy has drawn similarities between the current XRP price action and the 2017 bull run, when the altcoin recorded significant gains. He predicts the altcoin could soon rally to double digits, mirroring the 2017 rally. XRP Price To Rally To Double Digits As It Mirrors 2017 Rally In an X post, Galaxy indicated that the XRP price could rally to double digits as it mirrors the 2017 rally. He stated that XRP is almost perfectly following the breakout pattern of 2017 after 6 years of consolidation. The analyst added that the longer the consolidation, the bigger the price move. Related Reading: XRP Reaching Oversold Levels As Net Flows Turn Negative, What’s Next? His accompanying chart showed that the XRP price could rally to almost $40 on this breakout. The analyst seems convinced that the altcoin could witness such a parabolic move, considering that XRP surged by 61,000% in 280 days in 2017. The chart also showed that the altcoin will likely reach this target sometime next year. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has also stated that he expects the XRP price to reach between $27 and $33 in this market cycle. He believes that a repeat of the 2017 historical performance makes these price targets achievable for the altcoin. The analyst has also alluded to factors such as the XRP ETFs and Ripple’s expansion as factors that could drive this price surge. Meanwhile, crypto veteran Raoul Pal also affirmed that the XRP price has enough room to rally to the upside from its current level. He highlighted a bull flag that had formed for the altcoin, following its consolidation phase after last year’s rally. The veteran expects XRP to witness a bullish continuation after this consolidation phase, possibly rallying to as high as $5. This would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the token. The Altcoin In A Bullish Phase Crypto analyst CobraVanguard asserted that the XRP price is in a bullish phase, while highlighting a falling wedge pattern that was forming for the altcoin. He remarked that this pattern indicates the altcoin’s potential to reach $3. However, the analyst warned that this setup could be invalidated if the wedge pattern is broken downwards with the strength of bearish candles. Related Reading: XRP Price Explosion To $5.9: Current Consolidation Won’t Stop XRP From Growing Meanwhile, crypto analyst Dark Defender noted that the XRP price is currently in Wave B of its Wave 2 corrective move. He predicts that the altcoin could rally to its current all-time high once the B and C waves are completed in this corrective wave. The analyst is also confident that the altcoin can rally to double digits in the long term. He once predicted that the altcoin could reach $18 based on his Elliott Wave Theory analysis. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.38, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto veteran Raoul Pal has shared his thoughts on the XRP price, predicting it still has more room to rally to the upside. The altcoin is expected to hit a new all-time high (ATH) as it rallies higher. XRP Price Primed For Another Leg Higher In a YouTube video, Pal remarked that XRP’s chart is one to behold and that its price will likely get another leg higher at some point. His accompanying chart showed a bull flag that had formed for the altcoin since last year, after its parabolic rally to the $2 range. Its price is currently in the consolidation phase, with a breakout usually occurring after this phase. Related Reading: XRP Price Explosion To $5.9: Current Consolidation Won’t Stop XRP From Growing Based on the chart, the price could rally to as high as $5, which would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. Interestingly, before its surge late last year, the crypto veteran had advised investors to sell their dino coins like XRP and ADA. However, following the pump, he admitted he was wrong and became bullish on the altcoin. This prediction comes amid the launch of the CME XRP and Micro XRP futures, which are bullish for its price. These products will provide institutional investors with exposure to the altcoin and are also integral to the approval of a Spot XRP ETF. An XRP ETF is one of the factors that crypto analyst BarriC believes could quickly drive prices to $10. In the short term, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has suggested that the XRP price could retrace before it rallies higher. In an X post, he stated that the asset could return to $2 if it loses the critical $2.30 support. Crypto analyst CasiTrades had also warned that the altcoin could witness a correction following its failure to hold above $2.6 successfully. The Altcoin Could Hit ATH After This Correction Crypto analyst Dark Defender has suggested that the XRP price could hit its ATH after this market correction, stating that the rally to ATH is closer than anyone else can think of. This came as he revealed that the token has completed the A Wave and is now on the B Wave of Wave 2, meaning that this corrective wave is in its midway.

A crypto analyst has outlined a long-term bullish roadmap for the XRP price, forecasting a gradual climb toward staggering all-time highs of $37. While the technical analysis and chart patterns support this optimistic outlook, bearish signals still linger on the horizon, highlighting a critical battleground for control between bulls and bears. XRP Price Roadmap To $37 Drawing on the historical behavior of the XRP price action, market expert Egrag Crypto has highlighted the significance of the relationship between two key Moving Averages (MA): the 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 33-week Simple Moving Average (SMA). Related Reading: Two Major Fibonacci Levels Put XRP Price At $8.40 And $27 In a technical report shared on X (formerly Twitter), the analyst noted that the interaction between these two MAs has repeatedly provided strong signals during both bullish and bearish market phases. He emphasized that this relationship could either set the stage for XRP to skyrocket toward a final target of $37 in this market cycle or trigger a bearish price breakdown. According to the analyst’s chart and historical data, every time the 21 EMA crosses above the 33 SMA on the weekly chart, a dramatic price rally for XRP has always followed. Previous instances have seen staggering gains of 520.25% in 2025, 855.36% in 2021, 1,600.63% in 2018, and even as high as 6,505.21% in 2017. These moves were all preceded by the same crossover pattern: the 21 EMA taking a dominant position above the 33 SMA. Based on this cyclic behavior, Egrag Crypto projects that XRP could once again be poised for a parabolic move upwards. The most conservative bullish targets lie around $5.71 and $9.57, while more aggressive estimates point to $27, with an ultimate extension potentially reaching $37. These price levels have been mapped out by projecting the percentage gains from past bull runs onto the chart structure. Egrag Crypto has further emphasized that XRP’s bullish setup is being watched closely. Its price hovers around $2.34, signaling a substantial upside if history repeats. Bears And Bulls Fight For Dominance Despite Egrag Crypto’s optimistic outlook for the XRP price, the analyst warns that the bears are not out of the picture yet. The same Moving Average crossover logic that signals bullish strength could also serve as a double-edged sword, potentially indicating a powerful bearish reversal. Related Reading: XRP Price At $10-$20 Only The Beginning, It’s Headed For $1,000 – Analyst Reveals Historically, when the 21 EMA crosses below the 33 SMA (a bearish cross), the XRP price has entered significant downtrends. The past two bearish crosses on May 28 and November 2021 led to steep declines of 87% and 72%, respectively. Egrag Crypto cautions that a similar bearish crossover could occur, potentially triggering a price drop of nearly 79.54% from XRP’s local top. If this crossover does appear, the market expert has revealed plans to exit a large portion of his XRP position, signaling that the macro top has been reached and a prolonged bear phase is likely to follow.

Market sentiment shifts as XRP faces critical support test amid global economic uncertainties and upcoming token unlock.
XRP’s latest rally attempt has stalled just beneath a key volume-weighted average price (VWAP) level that traces back to the asset’s all-time high, according to a market update published on X earlier today by independent trader Dom (@traderview2). XRP Selling Pressure Is Capping Price Gains The 12-hour Binance chart shared by the analyst shows XRP/USDT changing hands at $2.4375 at 12:18 UTC-4, up 2.08 % on the session but still unable to reclaim what Dom labels the “ATH VWAP”—a long-term metric drawn from the April 2021 peak. A green band representing that average is currently drifting downward through ≈ $2.47, capping every intraday advance since mid-May. Beneath the price action, the seller’s footprint is unmistakable. “There’s simply been an overload of market selling and passive buyers have really tried their best to hold it up so far,” Dom wrote, citing proprietary order-flow statistics that record a net outflow of 240 million XRP across spot venues in the past week. Roughly 180 million of those units were allegedly dumped on Coinbase and South Korean exchange Upbit, while Binance has actually been decently flat, the post adds. Related Reading: Pundit Says XRP Price Will Stabilize At $1,000 And Become ‘Very Expensive’ The same chart plots two shorter-term anchored VWAPs that have become the coin’s last line of near-term support: a one-month rolling VWAP at $2.31, currently 5.22% below the session high (orange), and a three-month VWAP at $2.28, 6.40 % lower (cyan). XRP is “hanging on to the monthly and quarterly VWAP by a thread,” Dom warns. A decisive breach of those bands around $2.31–2.33 would leave the market “really just mid-range noise until … $2.20 is lost,” he adds, pointing to the December–February midpoint drawn on the left-hand volume profile. Related Reading: ‘What If XRP Is The Next Bitcoin?’ Says Dave Portnoy While Bitcoin has been “really just bouncing around” in a broad consolidation zone, the correlation has offered little relief to XRP bulls. Every minor rise in BTC has been met by fresh spot offers in XRP, underscoring what Dom calls the “very hard to see upward moves when we are seeing this type of market selling pressure.” For now, the technical chessboard is clear: reclaim the ATH VWAP and the path opens toward the late-March swing high above $3.00; lose $2.20 and the door swings the other way, toward the confluence of high-volume nodes stacked below $2.00. Until one of those barriers gives, the analyst concludes, XRP “has lost its pep in its step” and remains caught in a tug-of-war between relentless spot sellers and a thinning layer of passive bids. At press time, XRP traded at $2.36. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Despite its current lackluster price action, many crypto analysts have agreed through various analyses over the past few years that XRP has a very bright parabolic rally ahead. This sentiment has particularly gained ground due to its price action in Q4 2024, leading to a multi-year high of $3.34 in January 2025. Although XRP has retraced quite a bit from this high, this hasn’t stopped bold long-term projections from resurfacing. One of the more striking forecasts comes from a crypto analyst who believes the altcoin will not only rally into double digits soon but eventually stabilize at $1,000 and become one of the most expensive digital assets in the world. Analyst Predicts The Altcoin Will Hit $10 To $20 Before Entering New Bear Market Crypto market commentator BarriC shared a post on social media platform X outlining a future price trajectory for XRP that begins with a major surge in the coming months. BarriC’s post begins by criticizing the perception that the current price range, which remains below $3, reflects failure. Instead, he views this phase as an accumulation opportunity before a massive breakout. Related Reading: $10,000 XRP Theory: Factors Analyst Shares Scenarios That Could Drive Growth According to the analyst, there’s a high possibility that the XRP price will climb to somewhere between $10 and $20 in the next few months. Such a move would undoubtedly be accompanied by a surge in the trading volume and activity surrounding XRP. One such primer is if the cryptocurrency somehow gains full utility and adoption with banks in the next few months, or through the launch of a Spot XRP ETF. This surge, BarriC noted, would likely coincide with the final stages of the current altcoin season. Following that, he expects a significant market correction, similar to past cycles, which would bring XRP back down to the $5 to $10 range. Previous cycles dating back to 2016 have typically ended with a sharp 50% market dip. If this happens again, the lower boundary for the next cycle could land between $5 and $10. This mid-cycle dip, according to BarriC, will be the last time XRP is considered cheap before it enters a fundamentally different phase. Banks And Institutional Adoption To Tie Up XRP At $1,000 Permanently BarriC’s prediction is ultimately based on banks’ mass institutional adoption of XRP. He noted that when the asset becomes deeply integrated into the daily operations of banks and financial institutions, we will see a $1,000 XRP. Once trillions of dollars begin flowing consistently through the XRP Ledger, there will be no more volatility and bear market phases for its price. Related Reading: XRP Price At $10-$20 Only The Beginning, It’s Headed For $1,000 – Analyst Reveals At that point, BarriC believes the altcoin will stabilize at a $1,000 valuation, not as a temporary peak but as a structural price floor. In this case, future investors may only be able to afford fractions of one XRP, much like Bitcoin currently. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.30, down by 2.35% in the past 24 hours. XRP has been steadily declining from $2.62 in the past seven days. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
According to a recent video by Edward Farina, founder of Alpha Lions Academy, XRP holders should think twice before selling every time the market dips. He pointed out that on May 12, XRP fell from $2.47 to $2.33—a 5.60% drop in 24 hours. Such moves stoke fear. But Farina says sticking around might pay off in the long run. Related Reading: Trump Token Mania: Over 6,000% Pump Or Classic Solana Trap? Strong Reminder To Hold Farina urged investors not to let a 20–30% pullback scare them out. He warned that selling during a small slide often kicks people out just before the next surge. When XRP fell to around $0.50–$$0.70 in past years, many sold. Those same coins later climbed by hundreds of percent. Holding through the downturn would have turned a small stake into a much larger gain. Big Gains Lost By Early Sellers Based on reports, people who bailed at $0.60 missed out on big rallies. That drop to the $0.50–$0.70 range represented a massive buying opportunity. But paranoia took over. Investors sold to shield themselves from more losses. They thought the dip would last. It didn’t. XRP’s price shot up, leaving many behind.
