Interest is building among XRP investors after Crypto Beast, a well‑known analyst, put forward a bold forecast. He sees a minimum breakout level of $8 on the horizon. With the US Securities and Exchange Commission no longer posing a roadblock, Crypto Beast believes XRP has a clear path ahead. Related Reading: Record‑High Ethereum Open Interest Signals Institutional Confidence His view rests on the idea that the market still hasn’t fully priced in XRP’s cleared status with regulators. Short‑term traders and long‑term holders alike are tuning in. Regulatory Milestone And Market Reaction According to court records, XRP won a key victory in July 2023 when Judge Analisa Torres ruled that it’s not a security under US law. That moment sent XRP from about $0.48 to $0.93 very fast. But prices slipped back over the next few weeks, bringing it down to the $0.50 area again. Then, after US President Donald Trump won re‑election and signaled a shake‑up at the SEC, XRP marched into a new range around $2.00. Despite that climb, Crypto Beast argues the legal win hasn’t been fully valued by the wider market. XRP is about to explode. I’m eyeing at least $8, and the market still hasn’t caught up to the fact that the SEC doesn’t consider it a security.$XRP holders are about to PRINT. I’ll drop the signal to exit right here when the moment is right. You’ll regret not following. pic.twitter.com/oiE8INoy7F — Crypto Beast (@cryptobeastreal) June 16, 2025 Technical Pattern Points To Upside Crypto Beast pointed to a bull flag chart pattern that starts with a rally from $0.40 up to $3.40. A flag pattern formed when XRP pulled back into the $2.00–$3.00 zone. He marked the breakout level at $3.37. By measuring the height of that $3.00 pole and adding it to the low of the flag, he arrived at a target near $10.69. In another post, he set a more conservative floor of $8.80, a roughly 4x gain from today’s price around $2.20. That kind of move would push XRP’s market cap above $500 billion, putting it in league with big firms like Oracle, Netflix and Mastercard. Broader Crypto Trends And Correlation Based on reports from his channel, Crypto Beast isn’t just upbeat on XRP price about to “explode”. He’s looking for a 3x rise in Solana, a 2x pop in Ethereum and a 5x run in SUI. Even more, he’s penciled in potential 40x gains for select smaller tokens. Still, these forecasts rest on a growing crypto mood—mostly led by Bitcoin. When BTC stalls or dips, large altcoins often follow suit. So any rally in XRP may need fresh money flowing into the whole market.

He reminded followers that patterns do fail and charts alone can’t guarantee gains. A sudden market shift or a change in macro sentiment could spoil the setup. He advises setting stop‑loss levels and watching BTC for hints. His trust in XRP’s future is strong, but he wants traders to be ready for any twist. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

XRP price started a fresh decline below the $2.20 zone. The price is now consolidating losses and might decline further below the $2.150 zone. XRP price started a fresh decline below the $2.20 zone. The price is now trading below $2.20 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $2.180 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might start another decline if it trades below the $2.120 support zone. XRP Price Dips Again XRP price failed to continue higher above the $2.280 level and reacted to the downside, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $2.250 and $2.220 support levels. Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $2.180 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair tested the $2.150 support A low was formed at $2.1425 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.335 swing high to the $2.145 low. The price is now trading below $2.220 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.1880 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.20 level. The next resistance is $2.240 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.335 swing high to the $2.145 low. A clear move above the $2.240 resistance might send the price toward the $2.280 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.320 resistance or even $2.350 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.40. More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $2.220 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.150 level. The next major support is near the $2.120 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.120 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.050 support. The next major support sits near the $2.020 zone.

On-chain data shows XRP shark and whale population has climbed to a new record alongside a spike in activity on the blockchain. XRP Wallets With 1 Million+ Tokens Have Set A New Record In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Santiment has discussed the latest trend in a couple of indicators related to the XRP network. The first metric of relevance is the “Supply Distribution,” which tells us, among other things, the number of wallets that belong to a particular coin range. Related Reading: Stablecoin Exchange Inflows Plummet $61 Billion—Warning Sign For Bitcoin? In the context of the current topic, the range of interest is above 1 million coins (with the upper bound being infinity). This cutoff for the range converts to about $2.2 million at the current exchange rate, which is quite significant. Naturally, the only investors who would qualify for this threshold would be the big-money ones. Such holders are popularly known as the sharks and whales. Generally, the influence of any entity on the network goes up the more coins that they hold, so this cohort, with its large holdings, can carry some degree of power. As such, the behavior of the sharks and whales can be worth keeping an eye on. If nothing else, it can at least inform us about what the sentiment may be like among these humongous investors. Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the Supply Distribution of these 1 million+ holders over the past year: As displayed in the above graph, the XRP Supply Distribution has recently registered an uptick for sharks and whales, implying more wallets carrying above a million coins have popped up on the network. This could be an indication that some new big-money investors have potentially joined the chain. Following the increase, the network now has 2,708 wallets of this size, which is a new record. In the same chart, the analytics firm has also attached the data of the second relevant metric: Daily Active Addresses. This indicator measures the unique total number of wallets that are becoming involved in some kind of transaction activity on the network every day, whether as a sender or receiver. Since the smaller entities like retail massively outweigh the large investors in terms of number, this metric essentially represents the amount of activity that the entities on the smaller end of the network are participating in. From the graph, it’s visible that the XRP Daily Active Addresses have recently observed a large spike. Over the past week, the metric has averaged a value of 295,000 addresses daily, which is a drastic jump over the 35,000 to 40,000 figure witnessed during the last three months. Related Reading: Dogecoin Must Hold This Level—Or Risk A 30% Price Crash “The XRP ledger is showing serious signs of growth, from both a usage and key stakeholder perspective,” notes Santiment. It now remains to be seen what effect, if any, these changes in network metrics would have on the cryptocurrency’s price. XRP Price XRP shot up beyond the $2.33 mark yesterday, but it seems bullish momentum has already faded as the coin has dropped back to $2.20.

After months of sideways movement, XRP may finally be gearing up for a significant breakout. According to analysts, the popular altcoin saw a dramatic 700% surge earlier last year. Now, its price is positioned to exit a seven-month consolidation phase, which could set it up for its next bullish move. XRP Gets Ready For Major Bullish Move A recently published technical chart by market expert ‘Crypto Michael’ on X (formerly Twitter) reveals that XRP has been consolidating for seven months following a staggering 700% price rally, which was triggered by a breakout from a multi-year Symmetrical Triangle pattern. The chart, based on a 3-month candlestick, shows that XRP had been in a major price compression within the triangle pattern for seven years. Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Track For $1.5T Market Cap And 27% Crypto Market Dominance True to form, XRP finally broke above the upper trendline of the pennant in late 2024, igniting one of its most powerful quarterly rallies to date. This breakout led to a price surge of about 700%, pushing the cryptocurrency from around $0.6 to over $2. Since the dramatic breakout, XRP has entered a stabilization phase, trading sideways in what appears to be a healthy consolidation range. The chart highlights this consolidation area with a white circle, indicating a well-defined post-breakout phase. Notably, XRP’s $2.15 price at the time of the analysis is above prior resistance levels, suggesting that the cryptocurrency is maintaining strength while waiting for its next bullish catalyst. Crypto Michael points out that XRP’s consolidation is ending just as Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, approaches a critical juncture: the “8-year line.” This correlation suggests that a broader shift in market sentiment may be underway. Historically, leading altcoins like XRP have followed Bitcoin’s lead during broader market rallies. If BTC successfully breaks through this long-standing line, Crypto Michael believes it could serve as a macro trigger that ignites a fresh bullish move for XRP. Analyst Says The Altcoin Is Set To Explode Against BTC A fresh analysis by Egrag Crypto, a crypto analyst on X, suggests that the XRP/BTC pair could be on the edge of a major breakout. The pair has followed a consistent cycle for over a decade, with lows in 2015, 2017, 2020, and 2024—each succeeded by strong rallies. These lows align with a rising trendline, signaling possible long-term strength. Related Reading: XRP Bullish Structure Remains Bullish: Analyst Releases 3 New Targets Now, XRP/BTC is approaching a key resistance level that has blocked past rallies since 2015. This time, however, Egrag Crypto suggests that the setup looks different and slightly more favorable for a breakout. If the pair breaks above this multi-year ceiling, it could mark a major turning point, effectively leading XRP into an explosive bullish phase. The analyst’s chart outlines two potential paths: a green breakout zone if XRP pushes higher and a red rejection zone if it fails to break this key resistance again.

XRP bulls appear to be facing one last test of conviction before the market’s next explosive phase, according to CryptoInsightUK’s video analysis released on 16 June. The British analyst argues that the token is sculpting an inverse head-and-shoulders formation whose right shoulder “still needs to form around the high-$1.80s” before any sustained rally can commence. How Low Must XRP Go? In the broadcast, he emphasised that “dense liquidity is below us,” pointing to a confluence of resting bids and stop-loss clusters between roughly $1.92 and $1.80. “I still think it comes down to make the right shoulder which is around 1.88,” he said, adding that a swift wash-out into that pocket would “flush the lows, tap in there and send it.” At present, XRP is changing hands near $2.24, up about 3% over the past 24 hours, which implies a prospective drawdown of roughly 20% if the market fulfills his downside scenario. From the analyst’s vantage point, such a retreat is less a cause for alarm than a prerequisite for the next major leg higher: “If we come down first, we’ve done the downside part. Otherwise I’m still going to be worried about going down even if we come up to $2.42 or higher.” Related Reading: What Are The Implications For XRP If Ripple Captures 14% Of SWIFT’s Volume? He linked the bearish short-term bias to structural forces beyond the XRP Ledger’s ecosystem. Bitcoin dominance, he noted, has crept toward a historical inflection zone that previously triggered alt-seasons: “Anywhere in this box could be the start of alt-season… That would probably coincide with Bitcoin dropping to between $100,000 and $93,000.” A dominance spike fed by a late-cycle Bitcoin dip, he argued, would typically inflict outsized percentage losses on major altcoins—including XRP—before liquidity rotates back into them. Within XRP’s own order book, CryptoInsightUK highlighted a “liquidity vacuum” created by May’s capitulation candle. Although the token has since retraced most of that single-session collapse, he described the rebound as “choppy corrective price action,” lacking the conviction and volume that accompanied earlier impulse waves. The right-shoulder flush, in his view, would neutralise residual leverage, particularly among traders who re-loaded longs too aggressively during the $2.15–$2.40 bounce. How High Can XRP Explode? The inverse head-and-shoulders thesis also features prominently on his long-range chart, stretching back to mid-May. The analyst first published the pattern on X, showing a left shoulder near $2.42, a head at $1.47, and a neckline just above $2.50. Completing a symmetrical right shoulder near $1.88 would, by classical pattern-measuring rules, project an upside target above $3.50—a level not visited since late-2021’s cycle top. Related Reading: Still Sleeping On XRP? Analyst Says $8 Breakout Is ‘Just Waiting’ Liquidity dynamics across the broader market reinforce his caution. Open interest in perpetual swaps for Ether, he observed, remains “as high as it’s ever been,” suggesting that any sudden drop in majors could spark a forced-liquidation cascade across altcoin pairs. “These people will be flushed out,” he warned, calling attention to negative-funding episodes that hint at an overcrowded short base waiting to be squeezed—once the final downside pocket has been filled. Despite the near-term jitters, CryptoInsightUK reiterated a resolutely bullish macro stance. “The next stage I’m most certain about is that we’re going to go significantly higher for crypto,” he told viewers. Drawing parallels with gold’s record weekly close, he argued that an undercurrent of global risk aversion is quietly supporting non-sovereign stores of value, positioning both Bitcoin and XRP for accelerated appreciation once the technical reset concludes. For long-term holders, his advice was unequivocal: avoid wholesale portfolio shifts and instead treat any sub-$2.00 wick as a final accumulation window. “Dollar-cost averaging from here is a good thing to do,” he said, revealing that 97% of his own capital remains in spot positions, with only a single-digit percentage reserved for surgical bids in the $1.80–$1.92 zone. Whether XRP respects that script will become clear in the days ahead. Should the market indeed sweep into the high-$1.80s and rebound with the aggressive thrust the analyst expects, the right shoulder will be complete—and the runway clear—for the long-awaited take-off.

Trading platform Uphold, which holds 1.8 billion XRP, is looking to integrate FXRP. Separately, NASDAQ-listed VivoPower has committed $100 million in XRP for deployment on the Flare network.
According to Digital Ascension Group’s Managing Director Jake Claver, XRP could reach a price level that brings a dramatic shift in how value moves on its network. He argues that higher token prices make the system more efficient. Claver even lays out a bold target of $10,000 per XRP, and he says that can happen within 24 months. The idea has reignited talk of crypto’s next big rally. Related Reading: Record‑High Ethereum Open Interest Signals Institutional Confidence Price And Liquidity Efficiency According to Claver, moving large sums on the XRP ledger depends on token price. At $1 per XRP, you need 1,000,000 tokens to shift $1 million. If the price rose to $10, only 100,000 tokens would do the job. And in a world where one XRP costs $1 million, a single token could cover that same $1 million transfer. This math shows why Claver believes price and network efficiency go hand in hand. Does XRP need to be a certain price to move large amounts of money? pic.twitter.com/tbqBbvST4y — Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) May 27, 2025 Market Cap Implications XRP trades near $2.24 today, with a market cap of about $131.7 billion. At $10,000 per token, that cap would swell to over $585 trillion. Claver treats that huge number as a sign of strength rather than a warning. He says market cap rules don’t apply the same way to XRP. But critics point out you can’t assume that every token sits ready to trade. Actual liquidity comes from orders on exchanges and funds in liquidity pools, not just a headline market cap. Timeline And Skepticism Claver doesn’t shy away from timing. He told his followers that the $10,000 mark could arrive within 24 months. Some hear that as a call to buy now. Others see it as wildly optimistic. To reach that level, XRP would need to climb more than 500,000% from today’s price. Even Bitcoin, with far more adoption, took about four years to go from $1,200 to $68,000 in the last cycle. Cranking out a similar or bigger gain in half the time would require huge new demand. Community Reaction And Risks Based on reports, Claver’s claim has attracted both cheers and jeers. Some XRP fans embrace the vision. Others worry it sets unrealistic hopes. Alex Caraco, former CEO of an Australian stock market firm, summed up a common view: “It’s sad to see buyers sold the story of $10,000 XRP happening tomorrow.” Critics say such talk distracts from real issues like regulatory hurdles, exchange listings and developer growth.

A recent analysis by a crypto market expert has reignited interest in XRP’s potential utility, especially in the context of Ripple capturing a portion of SWIFT’s global transaction volume. According to the expert, if Ripple secures just 14% of SWIFT’s market share, the implications for XRP’s supply and potential could be significant. XRP’s Potential If Ripple Takes On 14% Of SWIFT Market expert Crypto Eri has emphasized, through detailed mathematical calculations, the impact Ripple, capturing 14% of SWIFT’s total annual cross-border volume, could have on XRP’s supply and daily transactions. Notably, the market expert emphasized that if Ripple were to process such a percentage, which is roughly $4.2 trillion, it would require a surprisingly small portion of XRP’s total supply to support the transaction. Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Track For $1.5T Market Cap And 27% Crypto Market Dominance According to Crypto Eri’s calculations, the $4.2 trillion annual volume translates to approximately $11.5 billion in daily transaction value. To assess how much the altcoin would be needed to facilitate this, the analyst assumed a deliberately conservative scenario, with each token being used once every three minutes. This is significantly slower than XRP’s actual settlement capability of 3 to 5 seconds but was chosen to reflect the potential liquidity management constraints in real-world applications. With 86,400 seconds in a day and each transaction occupying about 80 seconds, each XRP could be used for up to 480 transactions daily. Moreover, at the current market price of $2.15, Crypto Eri calculated that one XRP could facilitate $1,032 worth of transactions per day. To process the estimated $11.5 billion in daily volume, this would need approximately 11.15 million XRP tokens. This figure is striking when compared to XRP’s circulating supply, which currently stands at around 58.82 billion tokens. Crypto Eri stated that just 0.0190% of this supply would be necessary to handle the calculated transaction volume, reinforcing the idea that XRP’s high velocity and reusability make it a possible efficient bridge asset. Overall, Crypto Eri’s Ripple-SWIFT analysis model presents a compelling case for XRP’s utility in the global payments space. Her calculations and projections have also sparked widespread engagement across the crypto community, with several independent researchers and members concurring with her assessment and contributing their data-driven models to validate the projections further. The Token Burn Rate Estimates For Trillion-Dollar Use Case As XRP’s potential utility in global finance is brought into focus by Crypto Eri, the market expert also offers new insight into XRP’s burn rate in terms of fees needed to facilitate a $5 trillion annual transaction volume. A crypto community member followed up on the analyst’s earlier Ripple and SWIFT calculations by asking how many of the token would be conservatively burned through transaction fees. Related Reading: Liquidity Levels Show XRP Price Is Headed Up, But Must Cross $2.40 First The analyst estimated that only 5,000 XRP would be permanently burned in the process—an astonishingly small figure considering the massive scale of value being transferred. The estimate assumes an average transaction size of $10,000, which would result in roughly 500 million transactions per year to reach the $5 trillion mark.

The crypto market was unfazed by the escalating conflict in the Middle East on Monday.
The Purpose XRP ETF, issued by the asset manager of the world's first spot bitcoin ETF, is set to start trading on June 18 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
In a livestream on June 15, crypto analyst Cantonese Cat delivered a firm verdict on XRP’s prolonged consolidation: don’t be fooled by the sideways drift. Despite trading in a tight range for over half a year, the chart veteran argued XRP is building energy for a powerful move, one that could take it as high as $6 to $8 once it breaks out of its multi-month technical cage. XRP To $8? “This thing has been going sideways for seven months,” he said. “But the entire time, it’s just hugging this GAN line.” He referred to a long-standing monthly Gann arc structure that XRP has been grinding against since late 2024. In his interpretation, the repeated tests of that arc—combined with price holding above key support zones—signal strength rather than weakness. “It’s just waiting for its thing,” he added, implying that the eventual move could be sharp and sudden. Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Track For $1.5T Market Cap And 27% Crypto Market Dominance Cantonese Cat highlighted that the current price action is sitting just beneath the next major Gann resistance level, which aligns closely with a Fibonacci extension target between $6 and $8. That arc, he believes, will be the trigger. “I think the next level is going to end up breaking up to the GAN arc up above,” he said, adding that a clean breach of this level could mark the start of XRP’s long-awaited parabolic run. He also pulled up the monthly Ichimoku Cloud, pointing out that XRP had already broken above it—a significant bullish milestone in Ichimoku analysis. “Initially it had a rejection of the Ichimoku cloud,” he explained, “and now we have a true breakout.” Most importantly, XRP has held the Tenkan and Kijun without falling back into the cloud. “This is basically a look of bullishness,” he noted, citing the textbook structure of a confirmed trend reversal. The broader structure, according to his analysis, is a classic breakout setup: a horizontal level was cleared, back-tested, and is now serving as support. “You’re basically breaking above a horizontal level here and back testing it. And so far, you’re holding it pretty convincingly.” To reinforce his thesis, he pointed to Fibonacci retracements—specifically, XRP’s behavior around the 0.86 level, which the asset has been flirting with. “If you’re able to convincingly break above 0.86 here,” he said, “then all-time high stuff could happen.” Asked by viewers why the market isn’t moving yet, he dismissed the apparent stagnation as noise. “It’s just going sideways, guys,” he said. “It’s just waiting for its thing.” In his view, the lack of momentum is not a sign of weakness, but rather a signal that XRP is compressing in a low-volatility zone—a typical prelude to a high-volatility expansion. “Whenever it decides to get done with this shenanigans,” he added, “it’s probably going to go up.” Despite XRP’s muted performance while other assets like Bitcoin and Solana have captured headlines, Cantonese Cat made clear that he sees no structural damage on the chart. Quite the opposite: he views the persistent adherence to long-term support levels, especially on the monthly timeframe, as an indication that XRP is simply coiling beneath resistance. Related Reading: XRP Has A 70% Shot To Beat Bitcoin, Says Analyst In a cycle increasingly defined by breakout-driven flows and rotational capital, he framed XRP’s dormancy not as a failure, but as a delayed opportunity. “Still holding the Tenkan and Kijun just fine,” he said. “This is what bullish looks like.” The analyst didn’t offer a date, but was blunt about the price levels to watch. If XRP clears the monthly Gann arc and maintains strength above the 0.86 Fibonacci zone, the $6–$8 range comes into play—levels that would not only exceed previous all-time highs, but also flip sentiment from apathy to euphoria in a matter of weeks. Until then, he warned, XRP’s breakout might not announce itself loudly. But when it comes, few will be positioned. “Still sleeping on XRP?” he asked. “You might want to wake up soon.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.20 Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

In a recent market twist, XRP surged almost 600% between November 2024 and January 2025. Based on latest data, that rally made it the top performer among major cryptocurrencies during the US President Donald Trump-led market-wide upswing.

If patience was a token, $XRP holders would be billionaires already. ????♂️ — John Squire (@TheCryptoSquire) June 8, 2025 XRP Rallies As Markets Turn After a rough patch, XRP’s jump has caught many off guard. The coin rocketed from roughly $0.11 at the start of November 2024 to near $0.75 by the end of January 2025. Volume ticked up on most trading platforms, suggesting fresh money is pushing the price higher. Traders who stuck it out through years of mild gains and deep dips finally saw a payoff. Seven Years Of Price Struggles From March 2017 to January 2018, XRP shot up more than 68,000%, peaking at $3.84. Based on on‑chain data, that blistering run led to a brutal 97% slide by March 2020, when prices hit $0.1140. In November 2020, another bounce nearly doubled the price—but the US Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit undercut that move, sending XRP down 67% in December 2020, its largest monthly loss ever. Holder Numbers Climb Amid Lawsuit Despite all that, the number of XRP holders kept growing. According to Santiment, about 986,000 wallets held XRP in January 2018. By December 2022, over 3.53 million new addresses had joined the network, pushing the total past 4.5 million. That surge of interest came even as many US and Canadian exchanges paused trading. It shows that newcomers and long‑time believers piled in while regulators and markets wrestled with the fallout. Recovery Faces Headwinds From Market Cycles While the latest rally is impressive, it comes against a mixed crypto backdrop. Bitcoin and Ethereum have shown uneven strength, and overall sentiment is cautious. Some traders warn that sharp gains can trigger profit‑taking events, especially if the wider market cools or if the SEC lawsuit sees new twists.

The XRP price is back in the spotlight as fresh projections place the digital asset on a steady path toward a $1.5 trillion Market Capitalization and a 27% crypto market dominance. Notably, analysts remain broadly optimistic about XRP’s long-term outlook, pointing to historical trends, current price movements, and key resistance levels as strong indicators backing this bold prediction. XRP Price Eyes $1.5 Trillion Market Cap And 27% Dominance Despite still experiencing strong consolidation, the XRP price is reportedly on track to capture 27% of the total crypto market dominance and reach a $1.5 trillion market cap. This projection by a prominent market analyst, Egrag Crypto on X (formerly Twitter), has sparked discussions within the XRP community, drawing mixed reactions over the possibility of this ambitious forecast. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Flag Pattern Above Accumulation Zone That Points To $5 Target At the heart of this analysis is the notion that the total crypto market cap could eventually expand to a $5.5 trillion valuation, possibly driven by skyrocketing institutional adoption, broader retail participation, regularity clarity, and more. Under such a scenario where XRP is also forecasted to command a 27% market share, its total market cap would equate to roughly $1.485, bringing its projected price close to a historical all-time high of $27. Supporting Egrag Crypto’s optimistic outlook is a historical analysis of XRP dominance levels, particularly focusing on the 0.5 Fibonacci Retracement level around the 5.75% mark. The analyst shared a detailed price chart, identifying this key level as a long-standing resistance zone where XRP dominance has been consistently rejected, first in October 2019, then in November 2020, and again in January and March 2025. According to the analyst, repeated testing of this key resistance is likely to trigger a breakout reaction once it is breached. He offered a unique analogy, describing the resistance testing as “knocking on the door—the more you knock, the higher the chances it opens.” Having already knocked on this resistance level four times in the past, XRP is now approaching its fifth attempt. The analyst believes that this could be the moment the “door” opens, signaling a potential breakout that could lead to a rise to the projected $1.5 trillion market cap and 27% dominance. Notably, the XRP market cap currently stands at $2.77 billion, meaning it would need to surge by over 54,000% to reach the ambitious $1.5 trillion valuation. In addition, XRP’s present market dominance is around 3.93%—a far cry from the projected 27% market share. This highlights the scale of the growth required, both in value and influence, for XRP to meet the analyst’s forecasted milestones. Bull Flag Set-Up Support Analyst’s Bold Predictions Adding strength to Egrag Crypto’s optimistic market cap and dominance forecast is the emergence of a Bull Flag formation on the macro XRP chart, which historically signals continuation to the upside following a consolidation period.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicted that XRP could soon take a chunk of SWIFT’s trading volume. Meanwhile, Circle’s USDC recently launched on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Both developments could provide a huge boost for the XRP price, given the altcoin’s role in the XRPL ecosystem. XRP Price Gets A Boost With Ripple CEO Garlinghouse’s Prediction At the XRPL Apex Conference, Brad Garlinghouse predicted that the XRP could capture 14% of the volume that SWIFT processes by 2030. He noted that SWIFT has two key components: messaging and liquidity. The Ripple CEO added that liquidity is where the power lies and that if XRP drives the liquidity layer, it would gain significantly. This could also spark a surge in the XRP price in the process. Related Reading: Ripple Issues Stern Warning To Investors As CEO Celebrates New XRP Milestone Ripple uses XRP for its payment services, which it runs on the XRPL. In this case, Ripple is betting on taking 14% of SWIFT’s trading volume because of how fast and easy it is to process these cross-border transactions using blockchain technology. This isn’t the case for SWIFT, as the platform focuses more on interbank messaging for these cross-border transfers. In a now-deleted X post, pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton commented on this prediction and what it could mean for the XRP price. He stated that SWIFT processes approximately $5 trillion in transactions daily. This means that 14% of SWIFT’s daily market volume equates to $700 billion daily or approximately $175 trillion annually. Deaton failed to give a particular price prediction based on these numbers. However, Fruition, another XRP community member, provided a calculation that could put the XRP price in triple digits. In an X post, they noted that SWIFT moves 150 trillion per year and that 14% of that is 21 trillion. Fruition added that 21 trillion through the XRPL means 58 billion tokens, which equates to $357 for the XRP price. Circle’s USDC Launches On XRPL In an X post, Circle announced that its USDC stablecoin is now available on the XRP Ledger, another development that is bullish for the XRP price. The stablecoin firm noted that XRPL users will now be able to use USDC for DeFi liquidity provisioning, payments, and it could also serve as a settlement option for infrastructure apps. Related Reading: Daily Timeframe Says XRP Price Is On The Verge Of Breakout Crypto analyst Moon Lambo broke down why the USDC launch on XRPL is bullish for the XRP price. He stated that this development will substantially increase the total value locked on the network, which is a major predictor of whether the XRP price will appreciate. The crypto analyst added how this provides additional utility for XRP. He noted that the altcoin will be used to pay gas fees on every USDC transaction on the network. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.15, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
A fresh XRP/BTC chart released on 12 June by the market technician known as Dr. Cat has injected new controversy into one of crypto’s most stubborn trading pairs. The analyst, posting to X, argues that despite a bruising six-week slide, conditions still favour an eventual breakout for XRP that would leave Bitcoin lagging. He assigns the scenario a formidable 70 percent probability. XRP Vs. Bitcoin: 70% Chance Of Breakout, But When? At the heart of Dr. Cat’s thesis is the 2,041-satoshi level, where three separate Ichimoku timeframes—monthly, bi-monthly and tri-monthly—intersect. “The price keeps eating support after support with no reaction from bulls at all as if supports don’t exist,” he concedes, but he stresses that this specific shelf is “the most important support.” Related Reading: XRP Could Crash To $1.55 Before Explosive Surge, Analyst Warns Candles on the attached one-month chart already hover fractionally below the line; a decisive monthly close beneath it, he warns, would flip the three-day structure fully bearish and scatter the pair into unpredictable, possibly chaotic ranges. Even so, the strategist insists history is on the side of XRP bulls. “Price has spent years performing very well and coiling up with higher lows for this attack now,” he writes, framing the past twelve quarters as a prolonged accumulation that has never surrendered its series of macro higher lows. That coiling, he believes, will allow XRP to mount at least a “minor … attack in August” toward the 3,000-satoshi region—roughly a 45 percent appreciation from current levels—and perhaps fuel a “much bigger attack” once the broader market cycle matures. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Flag Pattern Above Accumulation Zone That Points To $5 Target The optimism is not unqualified. Dr. Cat calculates a 30 percent chance of a complete flop if 2,041 sats fails on a monthly-close basis. Under that bearish branch, the cross could slice toward 1,800 – 1,900 sats, attempt a feeble rebound, or continue a “slow bleed all the way down to the bottom of the range where it started the monster move.” In such a setback, he would not expect the long-anticipated “monster bullish move” until Q4 2025 at the earliest. For the moment, therefore, the market hangs on a single number. Hold above 2,041 and Dr. Cat sees a clear shot at outperforming Bitcoin—first modestly, then dramatically. Slip beneath it, and the road map dissolves into what he bluntly calls an “unpredictable/choppy” expanse. Either way, XRP traders now know exactly where the cycle’s pivot resides and precisely how thin the margin for error has become. At press time, XRP traded at $2.1287.

“Men lie, women lie, but charts and numbers do not lie,” EGRAG CRYPTO stated in a recent post on X, as he highlighted the importance of the Fib 0.5 level in XRP Dominance. According to him, this level has historically served as a major resistance zone. It acted as a key barrier in October 2019 and November 2020, both instances marking the onset of bear markets. In the current cycle, the Fib 0.5 level has once again proven significant, as it has rejected price advances in January and March 2025. The Knocking On The Door Analogy For XRP To drive his point home, EGRAG CRYPTO introduced what he called the “Knocking on the Door” analogy, a simple yet powerful metaphor to explain how resistance levels work in technical analysis. He stated that resistance is like a door; each time it is tested or “knocked on,” the likelihood of it eventually opening increases. Related Reading: XRP Price Enters Perfect Setup After Buy Retest – Next Stop $3.7 EGRAG pointed out that XRP Dominance has now tested this macro resistance level four separate times. These repeated tests are not just coincidences; they indicate building pressure at that level. Traders and analysts often interpret such repeated encounters as signs that the asset is preparing for a significant move, as momentum continues to build with each attempt to break through resistance. Looking ahead, EGRAG suggested that the fifth “knock” on this resistance level might be the one that finally breaks it. If this happens, XRP Dominance could form a bullish Bull Flag pattern, a technical formation that often precedes upward moves. According to EGRAG, this breakout could propel XRP Dominance to around 27%, marking a major shift in its market strength and possibly setting the stage for a broader bullish trend. Market Cap Projection & Future Potential The analyst unveiled a compelling projection that has stirred excitement within the XRP community: if XRP reaches a price of $27 with a 27% market dominance, this could push the total market capitalization to $5.5 trillion. This bold forecast reflects not only the possible future strength of XRP but also envisions a significant expansion of the broader crypto market. Related Reading: XRP Price Takes a Breather—Consolidation Phase or Bullish Setup? He further explained that with a $5.5 trillion total market cap, XRP claiming 27% of that share would result in a market capitalization of approximately $1.485 trillion. Such a figure would further solidify its status as a key player in the blockchain space. He maintained that XRP could still reach $27 while maintaining 27% market dominance, especially if the overall market experiences a strong bullish cycle. In his view, $1.485 trillion is not just a dream but a viable target that highlights XRP’s massive growth potential. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
The XRP price could be preparing for its biggest rally yet, as a crypto analyst now points to a potential breakout that could send this altcoin soaring. After weeks of stabilization and momentum building, XRP is now testing key resistance levels, with the daily timeframe hinting at a possible surge above $2.33. XRP Price Gears Up For Major Breakout Dark Defender, an X (formerly Twitter) crypto analyst, has revealed in a recent analysis that XRP appears to be setting the stage for a significant price shift, with its daily chart signaling a possible upward breakout. After weeks of consolidation below a descending trendline, the altcoin is now approaching a critical level that could become the trigger point for rapid momentum growth, if confirmed. Related Reading: XRP Price Could Hit $21 This Bull Cycle With 1.618 Fib Level As Next Target Currently, the daily timeframe shows XRP testing a long-term downtrend line that has consistently rejected upward movements since early 2025. This resistance level, marked clearly on the analyst’s chart, hovers just above $2.3. Dark Defender has indicated that a daily candle close above $2.33 could effectively invalidate the downtrend and signal a breakout that may lead to further upside. Notably, the analyst’s 1-day XRP price chart shows an explosive move toward a new high of $3.39—a level not seen since the 2018 bull cycle. With XRP currently trading at $2.1, a successful rally to this bullish target would represent an impressive 61.43% surge in value. Such a move would not only break XRP out of its current consolidation phase but also confirm the emergence of a sustained uptrend. Moreover, if momentum persists, it could set the stage for even higher price levels. RSI And EMA Signals Defend XRP’s Bullish Thesis Supporting Dark Defender’s technical analysis and bullish scenario for the XRP price is a rising Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has broken above a descending trendline and continues to trend upward. This shift suggests that XRP is building momentum as buyers finally regain control. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Says XRP Is No Longer A Speculative Asset – Here’s What It Is Additionally, the analysis shows that price action remains above key Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), which are beginning to curl upward, signaling that the market trends could be turning in favor of the bulls. Although the Ichimoku Cloud technical indicator is not visible on the chart, Dark Defender notes that it is expected to flip bullish soon, further reinforcing XRP’s bullish thesis. Combined with the support held above the 200-day EMA, highlighted by the blue line on the chart, XRP appears to be entering a favorable technical zone. If price action aligns with the analyst’s projected setup and manages to hold candle closes above $2.33, it could mark the beginning of a stronger uptrend. Dark Defender also notes that “XRP’s slingshot pressure” is intensifying rapidly, further boosting the potential strength of the upcoming bullish wave.
