THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

The XRP price broke out of an almost seven-year downtrend in 2024 and is now trading above $3, sparking renewed optimism across the market. With its steadily growing price, crypto analyst JackTheRippler claims that XRP is unlikely to face any major pullback like in the past, believing that the altcoin has entered a new bullish phase—and the “train has left the station.” XRP Unlikely To Revisit Previous Lows In a bold assertion that challenges typical post-rally pullback expectations, JackTheRippler has doubled down on his earlier outlook for XRP, claiming that a dramatic price retracement is no longer on the table. According to a price chart shared via X social media alongside his analysis, XRP has successfully broken out of a multi-month descending triangle pattern and surged beyond key resistance levels, skyrocketing above $3.6 before consolidating around $3.19.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Warns XRP Investors Amid Market Retrace The chart reveals that XRP maintained strong horizontal support near the $1.77 region for several months, forming the base of the triangle. Despite multiple attempts to breach this level during its consolidation phase, the token held firm. The recent breakout in late July above $3.6 marked a significant shift in XRP’s structure, invalidating the downward trendline that had capped price action since December 2024.  In his post, JackTheRippler emphasized that, unlike in previous cycles, XRP is unlikely to return to earlier lows. The analyst declared that “the train has left the station,” implying that the window to buy at significantly lower levels has decisively closed due to a  price floor increase.  With XRP now trading above $3.3, the main question is whether this level will establish itself as firm support and potentially propel it to new levels. Based on the cryptocurrency’s current technical setup and JackTheRipple’s confident projection, the path forward for XRP suggests continued upward momentum rather than a reversal.  Analyst Unveils XRP Next Bullish Targets A recent chart analysis shared by crypto analyst Dark Defender suggests that XRP’s long-standing cooling period may be finally coming to an end. According to the pattern highlighted on the chart, the cryptocurrency appears to be mirroring its 2017 setup—a formation that led to an explosive breakout. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Double Top, This Structure Says A Crash Is Coming With XRP now consolidating above $3.3, Dark Defender argues that this phase resembles a stabilization period that preceded the previous bull run, marked by a breakout from a descending wedge and rapid vertical gains. Based on the Elliott Wave Theory, the analyst has set XRP’s next bullish targets for $13.13, $18.22, and $36.76.  According to Dark Defender, the cryptocurrency’s price surge observed in June and July confirms its breakout structure, positioning August as a potentially explosive month for the asset. Chart comparisons between the 2017 and 2025 cycles highlight striking similarities, each featuring a sharp rally, a descending consolidation, and a breakout that historically led to parabolic gains.

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

In a broader context, the rise in XRP scams has coincided with the recent surge in the altcoin’s price to above $3.6. Additionally, they come after bullish news like Ripple’s growing regulatory clarity and legal win against the US SEC. As the XRP price inches closer to ATH levels and gains more momentum, bad actors are leveraging this wave of optimism to cast a wider net, targeting investors through sophisticated scams and fraudulent schemes.

Crypto analyst Steph has issued a warning to XRP investors regarding the current price action. He alluded to a multi-year resistance that the altcoin has struggled to break, noting that this should be the major focus as it eyes new highs.  XRP Needs to Break Above the $3.6 Resistance In an X post, Steph shared a video in which he analysed the XRP monthly chart, dating back to the 2020 bull run. He highlighted an upward-sloping trendline for the altcoin, which showed that the altcoin has faced rejection at around the $3.6 level twice now. The first was in January of this year, when the altcoin surged to a yearly high.  Related Reading: Expect A “Biblical Move” Off This Formation; Analyst Tells XRP Investors Meanwhile, the second has occurred again following the XRP’s latest rally to a new all-time high (ATH) around this $3.6 resistance. Steph declared that the altcoin needs to break above this multi-year trendline resistance, as it risks falling into “an ugly period of downward momentum” if it can’t flip this level into support.  However, if XRP breaks above this resistance, Steph predicts that it could record a parabolic rally, which would send its price into double digits. The crypto analyst is more confident that the altcoin will break this resistance, noting that other bullish patterns support sustained bullish momentum.  In the short term, Steph predicts that XRP could rally to as high as $4.42. He highlighted a double bottom breakout on the 4-day chart, which is still in play for the altcoin. He assured that XRP could still maintain this upward momentum despite the current pullback in the broader crypto market.  However, if this bearish trend in the crypto market sustains for a while, he warned that the $3 support level is the one that XRP needs to stay above to avoid losing its bullish structure. The analyst expects a lot of buying pressure if the altcoin were to drop to this support level.  What Next As The Altcoin Retests $3 In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades noted that XRP was unable to hold the $3.21 resistance and has now fallen back to test the $3 support. She stated that the altcoin appears to have completed a subwave wave 2 of a new trend, reaching a deep .854 retrace. If this new low holds as support, then she suggested that it could kickstart a large impulse to the upside.  Related Reading: XRP Is About To Break 8-Year Resistance Against Bitcoin Ahead Of Spot ETF Approval CasiTrades predicts that XRP could reach new highs if volume begins to rise and the price starts moving back above the $3.21 resistance. She noted that the first wave 3 sits near $3.82, which is the 2.618 Fibonacci extension. Her accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could reach $3.8 on this next run-up.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3.16, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

In an interview hosted by Kyle Chassé, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan and Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart weighed in which spot ETF could attract more inflows– XRP or Solana–if approved on the same day. Both concluded that the initial wave of capital would likely favor XRP, even as longer‑term asset accumulation could tilt toward Solana. XRP or Solana: Which Spot ETF Will Dominate? Seyffart grounded his view in the performance of existing derivative‑based products. “We did have, we had a kind of a situation like this where we had futures Solana ETFs and leverage futures or derivatives based ETFs that have exposure to Solana launched before the XRP versions. And the XRP versions have got more assets and flows than the Solana version,” he said. While cautioning that “derivatives based products are nowhere near as high in the list of demand for investors as the spot products would be,” he cited that precedent alongside the strength of XRP’s retail community. According to Seyffart, a “pseudo spot product from Rex Osprey that went through a whole bunch of loopholes and end arounds to try and get exposure to spot Solana with staking” has also “done very well,” but not enough to alter his near‑term ranking. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals The Real Reason XRP Price Crashed Yesterday “I think in the near term, I would bet on XRP, but over the long term, I’d probably bet on Sol getting more assets,” Seyffart continued, pointing to mass‑market familiarity with XRP narratives—“anyone I know who doesn’t really know this space at all…they like XRP. They think it’s gonna be the backend settlement system for all banks”—and the persistent volume of XRP‑related discussion across TikTok, Reddit and other social platforms. “The ground game is unreal,” he said, before adding that institutional conversations skew differently: “From an institutional point of view…there seems to be a lot more serious people looking at Solana…definitely I lean Solana or Ethereum from my point of view.” Hougan concurred with the sequencing. “I actually agree. I think XRP would do better out of the gate,” he said, emphasizing that the intensity of a committed minority, rather than broad sentiment, drives day‑one ETF flows. “I think the average opinion of Solana is better than it is for XRP across crypto investors, but that’s not who buys the ETF on day one. It’s the passion, right?” Related Reading: XRP Whales Move $759M In Token: What Are They Up To? Recounting his experience at an XRP‑focused event, he underscored the depth of that base: “I went to an XRP conference in Vegas on a Saturday. There were 1,200 people in the room. Every seat was taken. That’s crazy…There is an army of people who are really passionate about XRP, and I think it would do exceptionally well out of the gate. It doesn’t matter, again, that 90% of people hate it. What matters is 10% of people love it.” Hougan added that Solana’s eventual trajectory would depend on its “narrative transition,” suggesting a shifting storyline around the network could influence timing-sensitive allocations. “If Solana is ripping…it would do well,” he said. “But my base case out of the gate would be XRP, at least for the first few months.” Taken together, the analysts’ assessments outline a bifurcated path: an early surge in XRP spot ETF inflows propelled by a highly mobilized retail constituency, followed by a potential reversion in which Solana, benefiting from deeper institutional engagement and evolving narratives, could surpass XRP in total assets over time. At press time, XRP traded at $3.06. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price rally has already seen it reclaim the $3.6 level once this year before slowing back down again. This slowdown has raised concerns of a possible end to the rally. But the formation of a Cup and Saucer Pattern actually tells a different story. Since this pattern is yet to be completely fulfilled, there is the possibility that the XRP price rally has only entered a possible slowdown and will continue to rise from here. Why The XRP Price Rally Is Still In Motion Crypto analyst Cryptinsightuk took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the formation of a Cup and Saucer pattern on the XRP price pattern. This comes after double rejection from the $3.65 level, which is now acting as the major resistance to the altcoin’s continuation of the rally. However, while this double rejection is concerning, the emergence of the Cup and Saucer pattern suggests a sustained bullish trend. Related Reading: XRP Is About To Break 8-Year Resistance Against Bitcoin Ahead Of Spot ETF Approval Cryptoinsightuk explains that despite the rejections, the XRP price has continued to put in higher lows. Naturally, this is bullish for the price regardless of where the resistance lies. Going by the chart as well, it is obvious that there is still a way to go before the pattern plays out completely and suggests a decline in the price. From here, the analyst expects that the XRP price will indeed continue to rise. One of the major reasons that this remains bullish is the fact that this formation is coming above previous range highs. Therefore, Cryptoinsightuk explains that it is more likely a continuation pattern leading to a breakout than it is to lead to a breakdown in price. If the Cup and Saucer pattern does hold up and continue as expected, then the next target would be to retest and break the resistance that has mounted at $3.65. Once this resistance breaks, then a continuation of the rally would put XRP back on the path toward new all-time highs above $3.8. Bullish Developments Spark Hope Not only are the charts showing bullish momentum for the XRP price, but other market developments have also put the altcoin on a positive path. The latest of these is the SEC approval of the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund  earlier in the week, which includes XRP as one of the cryptocurrencies held by the fund. Although the SEC eventually stayed the decision and is now under review. Related Reading: Ethereum Price On The Verge: Banks And State Buy To Push ETH Above $5,500? This comes just a week after the first XRP ETF was approved for trading by the regulator last week, paving a way for more institutional investors to have access to the altcoin.

XRP has entered a period of quiet movement following its rally last week that pushed its price to new all-time highs. Particularly, XRP’s price has hovered between $3.40 and $3.60 over the past few days. This structure has caught the attention of crypto analyst CasiTrades, who shared her detailed outlook on the social media platform X. Her accompanying chart breaks down the ongoing setup and shows the significance of the $3.40 support alongside the bullish implications of XRP’s behavior just beneath the resistance zone. Former Resistance Now Support CasiTrades points to a classic bullish flip taking place in XRP’s chart pattern on the 1-hour candlestick timeframe. A key trendline, which had previously served as overhead resistance, has now been flipped and is acting as support. This shift has played out with precision, as price has tested the trendline three times and each bounce affirms that buyers are stepping in with confidence. According to her analysis, this kind of structural transition might be subtle, but momentum is quietly building up for XRP’s next price move. Related Reading: ‘XRP Is The End Game’ — Pundit Reveals Why It’s Better Than Bitcoin The trendline, which has now flipped to support, sits just above the $3.40 level, and its resilience has helped XRP avoid any serious breakdowns since last week. As long as this line continues to hold, bulls will remain in control. To sum it up, the analysis shows that XRP is now in an accumulation phase rather than exhaustion, which is notable considering its significant rise earlier in the first half of July. Furthermore, a look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 1-hour candlestick timeframe chart shows that there’s still room for momentum to push higher than $3.65 before the end of the month.  However, the analyst also acknowledges that nothing is guaranteed. If the $3.40 support gives out, the XRP price could retrace to $3.20, where the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level lines up. Other Fibonacci price levels to watch for a rebound are at $2.96, $2.76, $2.56, $2.50, and $2.27. Next Target Lies At $4.65 The trendline’s consistency, combined with the RSI levels, makes a stronger case for a breakout than a breakdown. The road ahead could open up well if XRP can bounce well at $3.40 and finally punch through the $3.60 to $3.66 resistance range. CasiTrades identified $4.65 as the next major level to watch, a target derived from the 2.618 Fibonacci extension of the previous rally. In the meantime, a middle price level to watch is at $4.11 on the path to $4.65. “The volatility above here gets wild and fast,” the analyst said.

An abrupt XRP sell‑off by more than -15% on 23 July was driven overwhelmingly by aggressive market selling on South Korean exchange Upbit, according to independent analyst Dom (@traderview2), who published multi‑venue order book heatmaps and cumulative volume delta (CVD) data to X. “Korean market Upbit chose violence today on XRP,” he wrote, quantifying “Over 75 million XRP sold at market over the last 24 hours.” Why Did XRP Crash Yesterday? The spot CVD chart shared by Dom isolates net market buying and selling across major venues. While Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, OKX, Kraken and Bitstamp CVD lines remained comparatively flat to modestly negative, the Upbit CVD (purple line) plunged in a near‑one‑way trajectory to roughly –75 million XRP during the period, mirroring the intraday decline in the average spot price plotted alongside it. The analyst stated: “The pump AND dump was brought to you by Upbit… The orderbooks have been pretty empty, thus the quick move down today.” Concurrent order book heatmaps for Binance, Coinbase, Binance USDⓈ‑M perpetuals and Kraken show a sharp breakdown from recent highs above $3.5 toward the mid‑$3.1 area during the session. Visible liquidity pockets were thin above price, with bids clustering just below, consistent with Dom’s observation that depleted depth amplified the impact of the concentrated Upbit flow. Related Reading: XRP Breaks Out Of Bull Pennant—Is $15 Now In Sight? He added that “We have reached some bids around $3, which I am monitoring now,” emphasizing that “I think we want that area hold to keep shorter term bull structure in tact.” The same source underscored that the Korean venue had also dominated the preceding upside phase. On 11 July, Dom attributed the earlier surge to localized demand: “XRP pump brought to you mainly by the Koreans on Upbit. Binance market tailing behind. All other venues basically flat (Coinbase barely participating). Nearly 30M $XRP market bought on top exchanges over the last hour.” That earlier burst of concentrated buying was later offset by the latest wave of concentrated selling, producing what he characterized as a “pump AND dump” sequence centered on Upbit’s order flow. Related Reading: XRP Could Skyrocket 500% Against Bitcoin, Analyst Warns Taken together, the data depict a two‑stage move in which initial Korean spot accumulation drove price expansion, followed days later by heavy Korean liquidation into a structurally thin global order book, accelerating XRP’s descent. Dom’s monitoring focus now rests on whether the identified bid interest around $3 can stabilize price and preserve the shorter‑term bullish structure he references. As of the charts published, that support zone remained the critical near‑term level. Notably, derivative positioning intensified the move: CoinGlass data shows that XRP futures long positions suffered approximately $82.8 million in liquidations yesterday, second only to Ether and ahead of Bitcoin, with total market long liquidations exceeding $630 million. This forced deleveraging likely compounded the spot pressure as cascading margin calls translated into additional market sell orders, reinforcing the rapid downside extension initiated on Upbit. At press time, XRP traded at $3.09. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

On-chain data shows the XRP whales have transferred significant amounts in the asset during the past day. Here’s where the coins are heading. XRP Whales Have Just Made Two Large Transactions According to data from cryptocurrency transaction tracker service Whale Alert, two massive transfers have been spotted on the XRP blockchain in the last 24 hours. Both of these moves were of a scale that can be associated to the whales, entities that carry significant amounts in their wallets. Due to their size, these investors can hold some degree of influence on the network, so their transfers can be worth keeping an eye on. They may not always directly affect the asset, but they can still sometimes be revealing about the sentiment among the cohort. Related Reading: XRP Breaks Out Of Bull Pennant—Is $15 Now In Sight? That said, it’s only possible to speculate on transactions when they involve at least one wallet that’s identifiable. Cryptocurrency networks are, after all, anonymous by nature, so a lot of transfers don’t hold any meaningful information. The older of the two XRP whale transfers from the past day, which also happens to be the much more massive of the two, was unfortunately of the type with no known addresses. As is visible above, the transfer involved around 200 million XRP, worth a whopping $700.6 million at the time that the move was executed on the blockchain. The transaction occurred between two unknown wallets, meaning that they were likely to have been self-custodial addresses. As mentioned before, it’s hard to infer anything from moves like these, as they can have any underlying reason, ranging from something as simple as a change of wallets to a peer-to-peer (P2P) sale. The second whale transfer for the day, however, was different. Below are the details associated with this move. This transaction, which saw the movement of 16.8 million tokens of the asset (about $58.3 million), had an unknown wallet as the sender, but on its receiving end was an address associated with cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. Moves of this type, where coins flow from a self-custodial wallet to a centralize exchange, are called Exchange Inflows. Generally, holders deposit their coins to these platforms when they want to make use of one of the services that they provide, which can include selling. As such, Exchange Inflows can sometimes prove to be bearish for the cryptocurrency’s price. Related Reading: Solana Becomes The Talk Of Social Media As Price Hits $200 Given that the whale has made this transaction following a surge in XRP, it’s possible that profit-taking may have been the motive behind it.

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

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

An analyst has pointed out that XRP has broken out of a Bull Pennant on the weekly chart and may now be setting its sights on this target. XRP Has Surged Above Bull Pennant Recently In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about how XRP has exited above a Bull Pennant recently. The Bull Pennant refers to a technical analysis (TA) pattern that forms when an asset’s price succeeds a sharp upwards move with a period of consolidation between two converging trendlines. Related Reading: Solana Becomes The Talk Of Social Media As Price Hits $200 Bull Pennants are similar to Bull Flags, with the main difference being that flags involve parallel channels instead. Just like in the case of the Bull Flag, the initial uptrend forms the ‘pole,’ but the consolidation channel here is known as the ‘pennant.’ When the price is trading inside the pennant portion of the pattern, it’s likely to face resistance at the upper level and support at the lower one. An escape out of either of these levels might signal a breakout in that direction. Bull Pennants are considered to be continuation patterns, so a breakout may be assumed to be more probable in the bullish direction. That is, the asset can be more likely to surge above the resistance line. Like the Bull Pennant, there is also the Bear Pennant. This TA pattern works much in the same way, except for the fact that the pole is represented by a downwards move and that a bearish breakout is more likely. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the pattern that the weekly price of XRP was trading inside until recently: As displayed in the above graph, the weekly price of XRP was earlier witnessing consolidation inside a Bull Pennant, but this month, the asset finally found a break as its price exited out of the pattern in a sharp manner. Usually, Bull Pennant breakouts are considered to be of the same length as the pole. Based on this, the analyst has drawn a potential breakout for the cryptocurrency in the chart. The target that it leads to is $15. Related Reading: Ethereum To $10,000? Analyst Says ETH Has To Break This Level If such a bull run does occur for XRP, then its price would have surged by a whopping 320%. It now remains to be seen whether the Bull Pennant would actually end up holding for the asset. XRP Price The altcoins have taken off recently and XRP has been no exception, as its price has reached the $3.56 mark after a rally of almost 22% over the last week.

A provocative post from crypto commentator Vincent Van Code suggests that Bitcoin was simply the experiment, while XRP represents the final form of money. In a detailed post on the social media platform X, Van Code outlined his theory, suggesting that XRP’s limitless liquidity design makes it far better for global finance than Bitcoin’s fixed-supply model. Bitcoin Changed Everything, But Isn’t the Final Stop Bitcoin introduced the world to the concept of decentralized digital currency with a limited supply. It broke away from traditional finance by removing the authority of banks and creating a decentralized system. The idea that money could exist entirely in digital form, without government backing, took hold through Bitcoin after its launch in 2009. It inspired millions and laid the foundation for what would become the crypto industry as we know it today. Related Reading: XRP Analyst Sees Clear Path Beyond $100 And Toward $1,000 However, Van Code suggests that Bitcoin’s structure, which is built around scarcity, slow transaction speed, and high fees, ultimately limits its utility. According to him, Bitcoin served a psychological function: getting people used to the concept of intangible, value-agreed money. But its design was never meant to scale into a truly global liquidity solution. “It rewards hoarding, not utility,” he said. He likened Bitcoin to a necessary first step: a proof-of-concept to prove digital scarcity has value and introduce decentralized finance. However, it’s slow, it’s expensive, and it can’t scale to global liquidity. As such, Van Code noted that perhaps Bitcoin was destined to be replaced by something more adaptable, something that serves not as a store of value but as a mechanism to move value. XRP Is The End Game Vincent Van Code’s argument is based on XRP’s design as a liquidity engine engineered for quick, trust-based exchange and not a speculative asset. He compared it to old barter systems that later adopted pine nuts as a unit of exchange. The pine nuts were not intrinsically valuable, but their universally accepted role allowed trade to flourish.  Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst The same principle applies to XRP. Its value lies not in what it’s backed by but in the global agreement that it can be trusted, even if only for a few seconds, to move value between parties efficiently. Unlike Bitcoin, XRP does not depend on its very low supply for its use case. Instead, it acts as a neutral bridge. It’s a digital pine nut with the capacity to become an infinite liquidity engine, assuming global agreement. If the world were to agree that each XRP was worth $10,000, then that agreement alone would make it so. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $117,890 after peaking at an all-time high of $122,838 on July 14. The flagship cryptocurrency is now in a state of consolidation. Bitcoin bulls continue to project new highs, but its immediate momentum has slowed down. XRP, meanwhile, is also consolidating just below its recent all-time high of $3.65 on July 18. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.44. It has experienced a pullback but is still within range of new price peaks. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

CryptoInsightUK believes the long-awaited altcoin season has finally begun—and that XRP could be its headline act. In a 13-minute market update posted on July 21, the British analyst argued that last week’s dramatic collapse in Bitcoin dominance “erased 19 weeks of Bitcoin strength in a single candle,” a move he called the first clear signal of a sustained rotation into altcoins. “Volume tells the story,” he said, pointing to the outsized red bar that accompanied the dominance drop. The pattern, he noted, mirrors the December 2020 setup that preceded the last explosive altcoin cycle. If dominance continues to unwind at a comparable speed, it could slip to the 39 percent zone within seven weeks—giving altcoins room to outperform. XRP Could Rally 500% Against Bitcoin That macro backdrop matters because, in the same breath, XRP just printed the highest weekly close in its history. CryptoInsightUK highlighted an “accumulation-then-breakout” structure on the XRP/USD chart that resembles Bitcoin-dominance’s own staircase lower. “It’s continuation, in my opinion,” he said, adding that XRP’s breach of its 2017-2018 all-time-high band could usher in a series of higher highs. Related Reading: XRP Targets $6–$10 If Bitcoin Hits $144,000, Analyst Predicts Liquidity data bolsters the thesis. Heat-maps from TradingDifferent show “significant liquidity to the upside… all the way now up to about $4.26,” the analyst said. He expects XRP to attack that magnet “probably within this week” and believes a run to $4.50 is “imminent” if Bitcoin breaks its nearby resistance shelf. The bolder call, however, is denominated in satoshis. With XRP/BTC perched just below its last meaningful resistance, CryptoInsightUK sees scope for a rally of “at least another 200 percent—potentially up to 500 percent—against Bitcoin” once the pair clears the level. Such a move, he argued, would propel XRP’s market-share to the 14–20 percent range, up from roughly 2 percent today, and would likely coincide with Bitcoin itself pushing toward the $135,000–$150,000 corridor. “Things are going to get exciting pretty quick,” he warned, urging followers to prepare profit-taking plans in advance. Related Reading: The XRP Euphoria Phase: Why August–October 2025 Could Be Explosive Though the video focused on XRP, the analyst revealed he recently took full profits on his sizeable Ethena (ENA) position after a 100 percent gain in two weeks, citing over-exposure and extreme daily RSI readings. The sale, he said, lifted his cash buffer from 2 percent to about 5 percent, giving him “the opportunity to hold my XRP bag for longer”. CryptoInsightUK acknowledged that timing any cycle top is notoriously difficult. “No one nails the cycle,” he conceded, promising to disclose his own exit strategy in real-time once price action justifies it. For traders who do not “live the charts,” he recommended a disciplined take-profit plan rather than aiming for absolute peaks. For now, the spotlight stays on two charts: Bitcoin dominance and XRP/BTC. A decisive breakdown in the former and a clean breakout in the latter would, in the analyst’s words, “ignite altseason” and validate the 500 percent upside scenario. Whether that firework display begins this week or takes a little longer, he insisted, “there’s no reason we couldn’t do something like this”—and sketched a near-vertical path higher. At press time, XRP traded at $3.46. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Over the last few weeks, XRP has creeped up slowly but surely to become one of the most talked-about cryptocurrencies in the space. Its price has also risen steadily through this time, beating the $3.6 level to reach new seven-year highs and triggering momentum for higher prices. While the community celebrates this milestone, there is the fact that the altcoin has not made a new all-time high, and even with all of the recent push, its inability to reach new peaks has become a cause for concern. Are XRP Investors Getting The Short End Of The Stick? In a TradingView post, crypto analyst ICharted made a shocking allegation, namely that XRP investors are being ripped off. The analyst pointed out that the fact that a number of bullish developments have emerged in recent times and the XRP price is still sitting well below its all-time high levels shows that investors were getting the short end of the stick. Related Reading: Dogecoin Whale Bets $21 Million After $2.14M Profit – What’s Going On? The analyst listed out seven developments that have been bullish for the XRP price and should’ve already pushed it to new peaks. First on the list is the election of US President Donald Trump, who is the first pro-crypto president in history. Despite the market surge triggered by Trump’s election, XRP has remained well below its all-time highs. Next on the list is the fact that the Ripple case brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2020 is nearing its end, and this has also triggered a surge. But it was still not enough for new peaks. This also comes amid mass adoption as Ripple becomes the foremost crypto settlement company in the industry. ICharted also pointed out the myriad of partnerships that Ripple has inked, spanning from payments to real estate, and yet the XRP price continues to struggle. This has put XRP in the eye of the public, making it a well-known cryptocurrency, especially as it plans to take on SWIFT, but it is still sitting below all-time highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin Re-Enters Profit Zone As Greed Rises, But Rally To $200,000 Still Possible The rise in the volume in the past year is another development the analyst points to, as well as the fact that it was able to receive an ETF approval this year, which began trading last week. Then, last but not least, is the fact that the US Congress has passed multiple favourable crypto bills this year, and yet the XRP price remains below its 2018 peaks. Given that none of these have been able to push the XRP price to new all-time highs, the analyst warned investors that they are being ripped up on the price action. ICharted pointed to a possible price crash back to the $2 level soon, predicting that a free fall will begin in August. “The Feds are soon going to cut rates multiple times. Bitcoin tanks everytime that happens,” the analyst warned. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP is making headlines once again as its network records a dramatic surge, surpassing $1 billion in daily transfer volume for the first time in over a month. The spike comes on the heels of a powerful price rally, with possible signs that large holders, also called whales, may be playing a key role in driving the cryptocurrency’s next leg.  XRP Transactions Hit Major Highs The XRP network is showing renewed strength and growth as transaction volumes have skyrocketed to over $1.07 billion. This spike follows a massive 67% rally in the digital asset’s price, which climbed above $3.5 earlier this month after a long period of consolidation. This impressive price surge marks one of the most aggressive upward moves in recent months.  Related Reading: Pundit Warns XRP Investors To Not Make This Grave Mistake This Cycle The resurgence in both network activity and price signals is growing market momentum and possibly a shift in sentiment among investors and traders. Notably, XRPScan, a platform that records data from the XRP Ledger, revealed that the large-scale transfer volume was recorded on July 18, representing the cryptocurrency’s largest single-day figure in over a month. What’s particularly notable about this recent volume surge is that it does not appear driven by speculative churn alone. The elevated flow of funds between accounts and the increase in user addresses suggest a deeper level of network usage.  Data from XRPScan shows that XRP payment volume from one account to another rose to 1.72 billion on July 18. Additionally, the number of successful transactions executed around the same time totalled over 2.08 million. New active accounts have also climbed significantly, with July 18 recording the highest daily count over the last month at 10,279.  With blockchain metrics flashing green and XRP’s price reclaiming bullish momentum, the surge in daily transfer volume signals a fresh wave of bullish confidence among holders. Typically, such synchronised growth may point to deliberate accumulation or distribution by whales, who often move large sums during pivotal market shifts. Whales Go Long On XRP Ahead Of Potential Surge New reports from analysts indicate that XRP whale activity is back in full swing, with specific holders going long just days after the cryptocurrency network surged past $1 billion in transfer volume. Multiple long positions totalling over $3.8 million have been opened at a price point near $3.44, raising speculation that deep-pocketed investors may be acting on insider-level confidence.  KingXRP, an analyst on X social media, revealed that a whale recently entered a $1.52 million long on XRP, just as buzz grows around the impending RealFi integration that could enable the XRP Ledger to unlock a massive $650 trillion market. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Just Hit A Fresh ATH Above $10 Billion, Will Price Follow Next? Adding fuel to the hype, Radar, another market expert, reported that two additional whale-sized positions, worth $1.02 million and $1.31 million, were opened within the same price range. This move signals a clear shift in whale sentiment, suggesting increased confidence in XRP’s breakout potential.  Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP is no stranger to dramatic breakouts, and now, all signs point to another one brewing. After years of range-bound price action, the token is flashing powerful signals on the weekly chart: a fresh MACD crossover, surging momentum, and a massive breakout structure forming. With $5 acting as the key psychological level, analysts believe a close above it could ignite a euphoric rally toward $8–$11. If history is any guide, the real fireworks may spark between August and October 2025. XRP Multi-Year Range Breakout Signals Strength According to The Ape Of Main Street, in a recent post on X, XRP appears to be breaking out of a multi-year consolidation range, signaling the potential beginning of a strong upward trend. This breakout comes as several technical indicators begin to align, sparking fresh optimism among long-term holders. Related Reading: XRP Price Fires Up Again: Momentum Grows, Eyes Key Resistance One of the most notable signals is a clean MACD crossover on the weekly timeframe, a classic indication of a shift in momentum toward the bulls. Alongside that, the RSI is climbing but still has room before it approaches levels historically associated with cycle peaks. The analyst emphasizes that a weekly close above the $5.00 mark would be a major milestone. Such a breakout would not only confirm the current rally but also clear the path for a more explosive leg up.  Should the breakout continue, the next macro targets lie between $8.00 and $11.00. These levels are not arbitrarily chosen; they align closely with the price action observed during XRP’s previous parabolic cycle.  No Reversal, No Limits? In wrapping up the analysis, the expert emphasized that the ongoing breakout in XRP looks both solid and sustainable, provided current momentum holds. The chart structure remains strong, with no immediate signs of exhaustion or reversal just yet. Related Reading: Pundit Says XRP’s Rise To $1,000 Will Happen A Lot Sooner Than Anticipated However, a key milestone lies ahead. For the move to gain real traction, XRP must break decisively above the $5 mark. That level serves as a critical threshold, one that could shift market sentiment from optimism to outright euphoria, sparking a new wave of bullish momentum. Looking ahead, the analyst suggests that if this breakout continues uninterrupted, the next parabolic phase could begin to unfold as early as August and stretch through October 2025. This projection is based on a combination of technical indicators and historical patterns seen in past cycles, which tend to favor explosive rallies once psychological resistance levels are breached. In summary, XRP may be on the verge of a major breakout, provided it holds above key levels and maintains volume. With strong technical confirmation and historical context supporting the move, traders and investors alike will be watching closely to see if XRP can replicate its previous explosive rallies as this bull cycle unfolds.

Pseudonymous market technician Dr Cat has laid out a tightly argued roadmap that would see XRP triple from its current range to between six and ten dollars within the next two months—provided Bitcoin’s ongoing advance carries the benchmark asset to $144,000. XRP Poised For $10 If This Happens In a series of posts over the weekend, the analyst noted that XRP’s monthly chart against BTC is “coiling” just beneath a crucial Ichimoku Cloud threshold at 2,674 satoshis. “If this month closes above 2 674 I think we should go at least to 4 135 in the next couple of months,” Dr Cat wrote, adding that such a close would deliver the first bullish monthly kumo twist for the pair since 2018 and place XRP in a “support‑and‑regain” configuration rarely seen in altcoins during the current cycle. The 4,135–7,600 satoshi band marks what Dr Cat calls the “resistance / take‑profit zone.” He argues that price seldom reloads immediately after such a multi‑year breakout and that a wick to the upper end of the zone is likely once momentum ignites. Related Reading: Analyst Says You Should Be Preparing To Exit XRP — Here’s Why “All in all, if BTC goes to 144 K on this weekly move, this price range for XRP in USD translates to $6–$10,” the analyst told followers, pencilling the move in for August or September if Bitcoin’s trend steepens. Dr Cat conceded that the optimal risk‑reward evaporates above 7,600 sats—“Would you risk a 10× unrealised gain for another 0.7×?”—and said he would rotate out of the position even though longer‑term targets above $30 remain “plausible” into 2026. On the XRP‑USD chart the picture is similarly constructive. Sunday’s weekly close above $3.37 turned both the cloud and the Kijun‑sen higher and produced a textbook Chikou Span breakout in week 27 of the Ichimoku time cycle, the so‑called Henka‑Bi candle. Dr Cat’s price‑projection grid aligns traditional Fibonacci extensions with Ichimoku price‑measurement theory: the N‑wave objective sits at $4.53, the E‑wave at $6.31 and the 2E extension at $9.22. “With the condition of this weekly close all of them are on the table for the next one to two months and $4.5 should be the absolute minimum,” he wrote, recalling that the same $4.5 target had been floated as “minimum” when XRP traded at $1.89 in early April. Market context lends partial support to the thesis. Bitcoin is trading just above $118,500 after a subdued weekend session, consolidating a 20 percent rally since the start of July, while ether holds near $3,760 and dominance continues to erode in favour of large‑cap altcoins. XRP itself is hovering around $3.55 following a 50‑percent weekly burst. Related Reading: XRP To $13 in 40 Days? Analyst Predicts Explosive Final Rally Technically, the “monthly close above 2,674 sats” remains the gating criterion. A failure to secure that level would postpone the kumo twist and risk another quarter of range‑bound drift versus Bitcoin. Conversely, a decisive move into the 4,135–7,600 satoshi band would confirm the first bullish market‑structure shift on the long‑term ratio chart in seven years and almost certainly drive speculative flows into the XRP‑USD pair. Traders watching for additional confirmation will be tracking whether the Chikou Span can clear price on the weekly timeframe “this or next week”—a rare but powerful signal that the analyst warns could invalidate the “healthy cross” caveat and send the market vertical even before the textbook Tenkan‑Kijun crossover materialises. For now, the path to $6–$10 hinges on Bitcoin’s ability to extend its breakout toward the six‑figure mark. If the flagship asset stalls below $120,000 the proportional upside for XRP compresses; should the rally continue, Dr Cat’s stacked Ichimoku‑Fibonacci objectives argue that $4.5 comes first, $6 follows quickly and the fabled $10 print is finally “on the table” as the trifecta of cloud twist, time‑cycle symmetry and momentum converge. At press time, XRP traded at $3.55. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price is on the rise once again after clearing the resistance that had mounted at the $3 level. This resistance has now been turned into support as the price is now only 15% from its all-time highs of $3.84. Amid this, expectations have begun to rise that the XRP price will reach new all-time highs from here. It suggests that there is still another move coming for the digital asset that could send it higher, and one analyst has advised investors to get ready to sell. XRP’s Next Surge Is A Good Time To Sell In an X post, crypto analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino has given XRP investors a heads up on when they should be getting ready to sell their coins. The post features a price chart that shows that XRP has already beaten $3 and is likely to head up to higher levels. Related Reading: Pundit Warns XRP Investors To Not Make This Grave Mistake This Cycle Severino explained that the XRP price has now entered into price discovery, something that is bullish for the digital asset. Price discovery is a period where market participants, ie buyers and sellers, determine what the value of an asset is through their activities. So far, the market looks to have decided that the XRP altcoin is worth more and has continued its uptrend. Interestingly, the crypto analyst had initially pointed to this possible move months ago in May 2025, showing that XRP had reached a critical level. This was the monthly RSI crash back down to the 67.18 level, and the last time that something similar had happened was back in 2017 before the price surge to all-time highs. In a similar vein, it had taken a few months back then for the trend to play out, but the resulting surge was almost as massive as the first one. As the XRP price seems to be playing out the second surge, the analyst expects that a final surge may be on the way for XRP. However, what is most important here is that investors get ready to take profit during this final surge. Open Interest Points To Possible Peak As the XRP price has risen, so has the open interest as crypto traders take their positions in the digital asset. This surge has seen the XRP open rise to levels never seen before to beat its previous all-time high of $8.33 billion that was set back in January 2025. The XRP open interest has now risen to over $9 billion, according to data from Coinglass. Related Reading: Ethereum Road To $10,000: Replay Of May’s Playbook Predicts Another Breakout Using past performances, this could mean that the top is close for the XRP price. Therefore, another possible surge from here could very well be the last before bears take over the XRP price once again. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP Open Interest (OI) has surged to a new all-time high, surpassing $10 billion across major crypto exchanges. This jump in futures activity comes as the XRP price climbs toward $3.48, its highest level in years. Historically, rising Open Interest has often coincided with significant price rallies, suggesting the potential for further upside in XRP’s trajectory.   XRP Open Interest Records New ATH Reports from Coinglass have revealed that the total Open Interest in XRP futures has climbed to a fresh ATH of $10.49 billion, reflecting a sharp increase in trading activity and capital inflows into the derivatives market. Notably, the Open Interest broke ATH targets after it exceeded the $9 billion mark, with trading activity continuing to accelerate, according to a recent X post by crypto analyst Captain Redbeard.  Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Explodes To January ATH Levels, Will Price Follow Above $3? Coinglass chart data from July 18, 2025, shows that XRP is currently trading at approximately $3.5, marking a significant recovery from its prolonged consolidation period just above $2 in recent months. The spike in Open Interest is reportedly driven by some of the top crypto exchanges, with Bitget leading with $2.21 billion, followed by Binance at $1.83 billion, Gate at $1.69 billion, Bybit at $1.53 billion, and other platforms contributing to the overall increase. Binance, the dominant player in XRP futures, has seen its Open Interest vault from around $544.4 million on March 11, 2025, to nearly $2 billion in just four months. This reflects a broader trend where major exchanges, including Bitmex, Coinbase, OKX, and Hyperliquid, witness multiple hundred-million-dollar positions being opened by traders betting on XRP’s next move.  The correlation between Open Interest and price action often serves as a crucial signal in the derivatives market. Usually, when OI climbs alongside price, it suggests strong bullish momentum backed by real capital. Conversely, a surge in OI without a corresponding price increase can raise concerns over potential leverage traps or looming liquidations. In the case of XRP, both Open Interest and price appear to be rising, indicating sustained market confidence and the possibility of an even stronger uptrend. XRP Eyes Three Bullish Targets In 2025 The XRP price is eyeing higher levels this bull cycle, as crypto analyst Armando Pantoja has forecasted three upside targets for the altcoin in 2025. Firstly, the analyst announced that XRP has officially entered price discovery territory after smashing through the long-standing resistance level of $2.98.  Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst This breakout now marks the possible start of another bull phase, with XRP expected to hit an immediate target of $4 soon. Pantoja’s Projections also extend to a bullish target of $6.37 and even $8.12 before the end of 2025. These targets are based on Fibonacci Extension levels and historical cycle patterns, indicating that XRP could still be in the early phases of a larger breakout.   Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP has spent the better part of the last seven years digging itself out of the crater left by the 2018 peak, yet technician Tony “The Bull” Severino, CMT, now sees the possibility of a violent climax that would rival—even mirror—the last euphoric leg of the 2017 cycle. Posting to X, the analyst asked followers to contemplate “the final move in XRP — projected as high as ~$13 — happened within 40 days” and supplied the weekly‑scale TradingView chart. $13 XRP Only 40 Days Away? The study is an Elliott Wave construction that labels the 2017 blow‑off high as the terminus of Primary wave ③ and the subsequent, nearly seven‑year trading range as a textbook fourth‑wave contracting triangle. Price action from 2018 through late‑2024 traces the familiar A–B–C–D–E sequence, with each swing bounded by ever‑converging black trend‑lines that compress toward a late‑2024 apex. Related Reading: XRP Countdown Begins—Analyst Predicts Explosive Run To $11 Severino’s annotation calls particular attention to symmetry: the distance between the 2017 high and the 2018 low measures $2.55, or 1,903.50 % from the sub wave‑four pivot, and it unfolded in six weekly candles (42 days) on volume of 2.7 billion XRP. With the triangle now resolved to the upside, the analyst counts the initial thrust as wave (1) of the terminal Primary ⑤ and flags a minor pennant developing as wave (4) of the impulse’s lesser degree. A red vertical projection equal to the 2017 percentage ascent—+1,903.39 %—is transposed from the post‑triangle base at approximately $0.64 (implicit in the $12 height of the arrow) and terminates at $12.73496, a level Severino marks in crimson across the right axis. The time analogue remains striking: a dashed line, 42 days to the right of the present bar, brackets what would be week six of the prospective surge, accompanied by a placeholder volume note of 113.7 million XRP. Related Reading: XRP Becomes Top 3 Crypto After ProShares ETF Approval, Can It Flip ETH? Should the fractal relationship hold—as the inset schematic of a “4th Wave Triangle” and “Regular Triangle Breakout Projection” implies—XRP would have to accelerate by roughly 250 % each week for the next six weeks to satisfy the vertical and temporal targets simultaneously, a pace identical to the parabolic advance that culminated in January 2018. Severino’s follow‑up comment hints that any such spectacle would not obviate a subsequent bear cycle; instead, it would complete the five‑wave motive structure and usher in the larger‑degree correction that per Elliott doctrine follows every full impulse. For adherents, the practical question is not philosophical admiration of chart symmetry but whether their positioning and risk framework can withstand the volatility inherent in a move that, if realised, would add nearly $9 per coin in little more than a month.

An analyst has pointed out that the XRP Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio has just formed a crossover that proved to be highly bullish the last time it appeared. XRP MVRV Ratio Has Broken Above Its 200-Day MA In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a crossover that has recently occurred in the MVRV Ratio of XRP. The “MVRV Ratio” is a popular on-chain indicator that keeps track of the ratio between the asset’s Market Cap and Realized Cap. The Realized Cap here refers to a capitalization model that calculates the cryptocurrency’s total value by assuming that the value of each coin in circulation is equal to the price at which it was last transacted on the blockchain. This is unlike the Market Cap, which simply takes the current spot price as the same one value for all coins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sees Influx Of New Capital: First-Time Buyers Add 140,000 BTC The last transfer of any token is likely to represent the last time it changed hands, so the price at its time can be denoted as its current cost basis. As such, the Realized Cap represents the sum of the cost basis of the entire circulating supply. One way to interpret the model is as a measure of the amount of capital that the investors as a whole have stored in the cryptocurrency. The Market Cap, on the other hand, signifies the value that the holders are carrying in the present. When the value of the MVRV Ratio is more than 1, it means the Market Cap is greater than the Realized Cap. In other words, the investors are holding more than they put in. On the other hand, the metric being under this threshold suggests the overall network is underwater. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the trend in the XRP MVRV Ratio, as well as its 200-day moving average (MA), over the past year: As displayed in the above graph, the XRP MVRV Ratio has seen a sharp surge recently as the asset’s breakout has occurred. With this uptrend, the indicator has managed to break past its 200-day MA. In the chart, the analyst has highlighted the last time that the cryptocurrency’s MVRV Ratio and its 200-day MA showed this type of crossover. What followed back then was a significant bull run in which the coin managed to rise by around 630%. Related Reading: XRP Close Above This Level Could Send Price To $4.80, Analyst Says Given this precedence, it now remains to be seen whether the latest crossover will also prove to be a golden one for XRP.

A powerful message has emerged from a recent episode of the Good Evening Crypto YouTube show that urged XRP holders to rethink their exit strategy ahead of what may be one of the most pivotal crypto cycles yet.  Host Abdullah Nassif “Abs” issued a strong caution against selling XRP by pointing to a combination of regulatory progress and tokenization of real-world assets as signs that the current cycle may just be getting started for the XRP price.  The One Rule XRP Holders Must Remember Abs amplified a sentiment shared by a speaker who stressed that XRP holders should not sell, especially not during the coming price spikes. “Hold a minimum of 10,000 units in a cold storage,” the speaker said. “Selling is the worst possible thing you can do to an XRP. If you sell your XRP when the price bumps, you’re going to cause a problem.” Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst This advice is based on the outlook that XRP is set to benefit from the coming wave of real-world asset tokenization. Abs argued that trillions of dollars are on the verge of flowing into blockchain ecosystems through tokenized assets, with the XRP Ledger expected to capture a significant portion of that activity. “From just a few billion today, tokenization is forecasted to grow to $19 trillion by 2030,” he said. That growth, coupled with XRP’s central role in facilitating this future, means current holders are sitting on what could become generational wealth if they resist the urge to exit too soon. Throughout the episode, the host and his co-host, “Johnny Crypto,” outlined a series of catalysts they believe will push the XRP price into a new era. Among them is the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a $1.6 trillion economic stimulus package that could flood markets with liquidity. According to Abs, this money will drive regular investors into risk-on assets like XRP.  He also touched on legal developments, noting the SEC may be nearing a decision to drop its appeal in the ongoing Ripple case. Another positive catalyst is the possible approval of 19 different XRP ETFs that are set to launch around October 18. According to him, when XRP starts registering daily closings above $3.25, the price chart is going to move in ways never seen before. As such, there’s also the possibility of XRP reaching the double-digit threshold above $10 in 2025. Still, XRP investors should not make the mistake of selling. The Case For Holding Long-Term Interestingly, co-host Johnny Crypto also noted that the most positive catalyst of all is if Fed Chair Jed Powell gets booted and a new Fed Chair comes in that lowers interest rates. “That means all bets are on for risk-on assets, and crypto will probably be the number one beneficiary,” he said. Related Reading: XRP Wave 3 Could Repeat 600% Surge From Nov 2025, Target Set For $15 Johnny Crypto also added a personal layer to the discussion by sharing a painful lesson from his past. In 1997, he sold a large amount of Amazon stock he owned far too early, a decision that cost him $52 million in missed gains. This time, he said, the strategy is different. Although he might sell about 30% of his holdings, selling the entire stash is not an option. He mentioned that he’s considering placing his XRP in a trust or even borrowing against it to maintain long-term exposure. Johnny also issued a broader warning, noting that banks may attempt to take control of crypto assets like XRP from retail holders in the near future. “We’re not that far away,” he said. “Probably in the next one year, we’ll hear about banks costing crypto.” At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.26.

XRP’s journey toward a new all-time high is shaping up with remarkable precision. After weeks of steady accumulation and shallow pullbacks, the chart is finally coming alive, and momentum is building fast. From key Fibonacci retracements to breakouts, everything is aligning for what could be XRP’s most exciting move yet. Here’s how it’s unfolding. Shallow Pullbacks Signal Strength In XRP’s Bullish Structure Crypto Analyst CasiTrades revealed that XRP’s price pulled back to $2.85, which aligns with the 0.236 fib retracement level. This minor pullback follows a strong upward trend and suggests that the market may be cooling off before its next move higher. Related Reading: XRP Becomes Top 3 Crypto After ProShares ETF Approval, Can It Flip ETH? According to the analyst, XRP “continues to hold bullish retrace levels, like .118 + .236.” CasiTrades stated that this is exactly what we want to see in bullish continuation, pointing to the shallow retracements as a sign of strength. The ability of XRP to maintain these support levels indicates that bulls remain in control and that momentum may soon return. XRP is once again targeting a key level. As the analyst noted, “Now, XRP is making its way toward $3.04 again, the next macro resistance level.” This level represents a significant barrier, and reclaiming it could define the trajectory of the next major move. CasiTrades highlighted the potential for a breakout, saying that flipping this into support is the final major hurdle before entering price discovery, which could send XRP into uncharted territory. Hourly Trendline Offers Clear Roadmap For XRP’s Next Move CasiTrades went on to state that there’s a strong trendline forming on the hourly chart, a structure that’s proving valuable in monitoring support, resistance, and timing. This trendline is shaping market expectations and offers a technical roadmap for potential short-term movements. Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes Fresh Gains: Traders Bullish After Momentum Spike Using this framework, the analyst suggests that “we should see a breakout to $3.18 today,” identifying it as a key resistance level across multiple timeframes. If confirmed, this projected move would be an incredibly bullish signal, hinting at renewed strength behind XRP’s price action. However, in the event of a rejection at $3.18, CasiTrades notes that a back-test of $3.04 fib could follow. Based on the current trendline’s trajectory, this could happen through Friday, allowing for a potential pullback before a significant rally. “Playing out the way I’ve described would be a strong signal that the market is ready to accelerate,” the analyst concluded. Should buying pressure persist and technical conditions align, XRP could begin a vertical expansion very soon, suggesting that a parabolic move may not be far off.

Crypto strategist Pentoshi put the market on notice in a late‑Tuesday post. “With XRP it held up for the past 7 months while most of the market nuked and kept this structure. It arguably has little resistance from here because it never spent time trading here on the verge of price discovery,” he wrote, adding that a cluster of regulatory and corporate tailwinds “is a pretty good setup into decent tailwinds and so far has traded very cleanly.” By Wednesday afternoon XRP was changing hands at $3.08, up roughly 27 percent on the week and hovering just below its highest close since the 2021 cycle high. Daily volumes have topped US $8.5 billion and momentum indicators on major venues show relative‑strength indexes back in “buy” territory, underscoring Pentoshi’s contention that overhead supply is thin. Upcoming XRP Price Catalysts The first fundamental catalyst is Washington’s sudden enthusiasm for federal stablecoin rules. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act sailed through the Senate in June and secured the votes it needs in the House this week after an eleventh‑hour whip by President Donald Trump. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told reporters, “We’re back on track … all three bills will be encompassed in the work we do today,” referring also to the CLARITY and Anti‑CBDC acts. Related Reading: XRP Becomes Top 3 Crypto After ProShares ETF Approval, Can It Flip ETH? Ripple, which launched its dollar‑backed RLUSD last December, is already positioning for that environment. On 2 July the company filed for a US national bank charter and a Federal Reserve master account that would let it custody RLUSD reserves directly at the Fed. Two weeks later it confirmed plans to secure an EU electronic‑money‑institution licence under MiCA; a company spokesperson said Ripple aims “to become MiCA‑compliant” because it sees “significant opportunity in the European market.” The second driver is the near‑resolution of Ripple’s grinding courtroom saga. On 26 June, when US District Judge Analisa Torres rebuffed a joint motion by Ripple and the SEC that would have vacated her permanent injunction and sliced the civil penalty from $125 million to $50 million, ruling the parties had “not come close” to establishing the “exceptional circumstances” required to alter a final judgment. The next day CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced on X that Ripple will drop its own cross‑appeal and “close this chapter once and for all,” adding that he expects the SEC to withdraw its appeal as well. For now, however, Torres’s injunction and the full $125 million penalty remain in force, leaving any definitive resolution, however, the end has never been closer.

ProShares on 15 July rolled out 2× leveraged futures funds tied to Solana and XRP, noting that spot‑based products remain in the SEC queue. Only a week earlier, the agency issued new disclosure guidance meant to streamline crypto‑ETF approvals. Trump Media & Technology Group has even asked the SEC to sign off on a “blue‑chip” basket ETF that would hold bitcoin, ether, solana and xrp, signalling bipartisan pressure to open the ETF spigot further. Ripple is also arming itself for a buying spree. “Our M&A people are very busy,” chief technology officer David Schwartz told DL News in late June, revealing “multiple potential acquisitions in various different stages.” The firm has already paid $1.25 billion for prime broker Hidden Road this year and is building an on‑ledger lending protocol slated for Q3, moves that could deepen XRP liquidity and justify higher valuations. Each strand—the GENIUS Act, the bank charter and MiCA licences, the SEC’s retreat, the ETF pipeline, and Ripple’s war‑chest for acquisitions—converges on the same conclusion: regulatory opacity is fading just as institutional distribution channels open. Whether that is enough to propel XRP through the previous all-time high at $3.84 from January 2018 remains to be seen, but the technical setup is also looking quite strong, as Pentoshi concludes. At press time, XRP traded at $3.14. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

A cryptocurrency analyst has explained how an XRP close above this level could trigger a run to $4.80, based on a technical analysis pattern. XRP Could See A Surge To New Highs If It Manages This Weekly Close In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has cited a technical analysis (TA) pattern to talk about where XRP can go next. The pattern in question is a Parallel Channel. Parallel Channels form whenever an asset’s price observes consolidation between two parallel trendlines. The upper line of the pattern is likely to be a source of resistance, while the lower one that of support. A break out of either of these levels can imply a continuation of trend in that direction. There can be different types of Parallel Channels, depending on how the trendlines are oriented with respect to the axes. When they are slopped upwards, the pattern is known as an Ascending Channel. Similarly, them having a negative slope makes the formation a Descending Channel. Related Reading: Bitcoin Next Key Level Is $136,000 If Momentum Holds, Glassnode Says In the context of the current topic, the third and the most ordinary type is of relevance: a Parallel Channel with trendlines parallel to the time-axis. This pattern corresponds to true sideways consolidation in the cryptocurrency. Below is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the Parallel Channel that the 1-week price of XRP has seemingly been following during the last few months. As is visible in the graph, the weekly XRP price has observed a sharp surge recently and closed in on the upper level of the Parallel Channel. If the asset’s current trajectory maintains, it could end up making a retest of the upper line situated around $3. Earlier in the year, the cryptocurrency encountered resistance at the mark, so it’s possible that something similar could occur this time as well. In the event that it is able to surge past the line, however, a bullish breakout might take place. “A weekly close above $3 could send XRP to a new all-time high of $4.80!” says Martinez. From the current price of the coin, a rally to this target would imply a gain of about 56%. Related Reading: Bitcoin Falls Below $117,000 Amid $3.5 Billion Profit-Taking Frenzy It now remains to be seen whether the digital asset will manage to escape out of the Parallel Channel and if it does, whether a bull run of this magnitude would follow. In some other news, the 1-week price of Ethereum is also heading toward the resistance line of a Parallel Channel, as the analyst has pointed out in another X post. “A key resistance level ahead for Ethereum $ETH is $3,980,” notes Martinez. “Breaking above it could ignite a major bull rally!” XRP Price XRP has seen a fresh 7% surge in the last 24 hours that has taken its price to $3.08.

The past week has been nothing short of interesting for XRP. Notably, the cryptocurrency has been on an extended run of increases in the past seven days, which saw it momentarily touch the $3 price level for the first time in months.  This interesting move came after reports broke of the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF, which allowed XRP to extend its upward movement. However, this momentum didn’t just affect price; it also had major effects on XRP’s standing in the overall crypto market. XRP Becomes Top 3 Crypto The SEC’s decision to approve the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF, which offers 2x daily exposure through futures contracts, is an interesting milestone for XRP. After years of legal scrutiny and uncertainty, especially following the SEC’s 2020 lawsuit against Ripple, the ETF approval is a remarkable change in the SEC’s stance with XRP. It shows that XRP has not only survived the challenges but has also earned a place in the next phase of institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. Related Reading: XRP ETF Race Heats Up: Why July 14, July 21, And July 25 Are Important After news of the ProShares ETF approval, XRP rallied sharply and outperformed many other top assets on both the daily and weekly timeframes. This surge came as a continuation of bullish momentum already building from Bitcoin’s recent breakout to new all-time highs above $122,000. However, even while Bitcoin corrected back to below $118,000, XRP managed to keep up with the pace of inflows.  At the time of writing, XRP is up by about 25.7% in a seven-day timeframe. This notable increase has allowed its market cap to increase to $173.4 billion, effectively overtaking that of Tether USDT’s market cap of $159.8 billion. This means that XRP is now back to being the third-biggest cryptocurrency by market cap and it is now closing in on Ethereum in rankings. Can The Altcoin Flip ETH? XRP’s climb past USDT in market capitalization reflects both a solid price surge and its strength in the crypto market. The next target on the leaderboard, however, is much more formidable. To flip ETH in market cap, XRP would need to more than double from its current $173.46 billion to exceed Ethereum’s $381.13 billion. Assuming the current circulating supply of 59.13 billion XRP tokens is kept at this level, this translates to a required price of roughly $6.60 per XRP in order to reach a $381.13 billion market cap.  Related Reading: Official Ripple Document Surfaces Online, Revealing What Will Drive The XRP Price Higher XRP overtaking ETH would also be somewhat of a hard task, considering the fact that ETH has also kept up interesting price gains in the past few days. Particularly, the leading altcoin is also up by about 20.2% in the past seven days. Ethereum’s price performance can be attributed to the steady inflows into Spot Ethereum ETFs, which have witnessed $1.55 billion inflows in July. However, XRP still has a chance of overtaking Ethereum, especially when a Spot XRP ETF is approved by the SEC. An important moment could happen on July 25, when the SEC is expected to decide on the REX-Osprey XRP ETF, which is a spot-based ETF.  Some analysts believe XRP’s price could skyrocket toward $1,000 under a scenario of full-scale institutional adoption. If that vision materializes, XRP wouldn’t just surpass Ethereum; it would be positioned to compete with Bitcoin in market cap. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.93.

In his June 14 video analysis, the market commentator CryptoInsightUK argued that XRP is on the verge of a “parabolic expansion” reminiscent of its performance in late 2017, contending that a price of $11 per token is attainable this cycle once Bitcoin finishes its latest impulse leg. The analyst built his case on a blend of historical fractals, liquidity-mapping, and derivatives-market data, concluding that “people are under-estimating where XRP is going to go this cycle.” Is $11 XRP Inevitable? CryptoInsightUK opened the session by noting that Bitcoin had just logged the highest weekly close in its history and that the total crypto-asset market capitalisation had set a record: “We got the highest ever close for total market cap as well now, and I’m looking to see this expansionary period.” With Bitcoin pushing into a “deep area of liquidity” on the daily chart but not yet reaching the next concentration of sell-side orders, he believes the set-up mirrors the early-November 2024 breakout that preceded a six-day, 31 percent surge. “Bitcoin’s done most of its move in the six days following the breakout,” he recalled, overlaying that sequence on today’s structure to infer that a similar window could open imminently. Related Reading: XRP Flashes Signal That Last Time Preceded A 464% Rally, Analyst Says For XRP, the key inflection lies a few cents above the psychological $3 mark. On the 15-minute chart, he observed that “XRP is starting to build some strong liquidity above us… up to about 3.10,” describing that overhead cluster as potential fuel for a decisive push. Although the token briefly touched $3.03 in intraday trading, repeated attempts have stalled just below resistance. The analyst juxtaposed this behaviour with the way XRP lagged Bitcoin during the 2024 breakout: the coin “stalls out a little bit” while Bitcoin rips, then “really catches up,” moving from roughly $0.70 to $2.70 in nineteen days, before extending to $3.30. Translating that fractal forward, he warned: “It’s not going to be exactly the same, but if it’s six to ten days [for Bitcoin]… what happens next? Altcoins take over.” He bolstered the thesis with derivatives metrics. During the last XRP rally, a flip from negative to positive contract premium coincided with a sharp rise in open interest. That pattern is repeating: “Premium actually went green… on an increase in open interest and that is happening again now.” Funding rates remain subdued, implying that shorts still constitute a meaningful share of outstanding positions; as price pressure builds, those shorts could be “squeezed to the downside,” providing what he called “really aggressive price action to the upside… pretty soon probably for XRP.” In his base case, an explosive move would coincide with Bitcoin reaching roughly $125,000, at which point capital rotation would funnel into XRP and other large-capitalisation altcoins. Related Reading: Pundit Reveals The Two Things That Will Drive XRP Price To All-Time Highs On higher-time-frame charts, the weekly close in the XRP/BTC pair reclaimed levels not seen since early March and printed what the analyst dubbed a “lovely green weekly candle,” propelling the pair through the resistance band tracked by trader CredibleCrypto’s so-called “Gandalf line.” XRP dominance, he argued, has completed a Wyckoff-style accumulation: the “sign of strength” and “last point of support” suggest a new up-leg is underway. Technical momentum is corroborated by a bullish cross forming in the XRP/ETH ratio on the weekly relative-strength index. The analyst conceded that timing remains uncertain and that elevated contract premiums can foreshadow long-side liquidation cascades, yet he maintained that the interplay between resurgent spot buying, rising open interest, and building liquidity clouds above $3 creates a self-reinforcing backdrop for a squeeze higher. “That is what I expect will come at some point,” he said, framing a breach of the all-time high as a trigger for acceleration toward his $11 objective. At press time, XRP traded at $2.8671. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst Captain Faibik has provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price, predicting that a new all-time high (ATH) is imminent. This came as the analyst noted that the altcoin is already on the move, having recorded a 20% gain since its breakout.  XRP Train Already On The Move To ATHs In an X post, Captain Faibik stated that the XRP train has already departed, with a rally to all-time highs on the horizon. The analyst noted that the altcoin has already surged over 20% since its breakout above $2.3. He had earlier predicted that the token was on the verge of a breakout, which would send it above its current ATH of $3.84.  Related Reading: XRP Wave 3 Could Repeat 600% Surge From Nov 2025, Target Set For $15 Captain Faibik remarked that this bullish rally will send XRP to as high as $4.60. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto also indicated that a new ATH is in sight for the altcoin. In an X post, He stated that XRP needs to close the $3-day candle above the top wick of the March 2nd candle. The analyst told market participants to get ready for a new ATH if it closes above the $3.010 level.  Meanwhile, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto also echoed Captain Faibik’s sentiments, stating that XRP has just recorded a powerful breakout. He noted that the altcoin has confirmed a clean breakout from the multi-month descending triangle and revealed that the target is $3.80. This brings XRP to its ATH, which could pave the way for new highs.  XRP boasts a bullish outlook, given its breakout from the crucial $2.30 support level that Captain Faibik and Titan of Crypto highlighted. The altcoin is now looking to reclaim the psychological $3 level, which would bring it close to its yearly high of $3.29.  Momentum Is Off The Charts In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades declared that XRP’s momentum is off the charts. She noted that Relative Strength Index (RSI) divergences are being “obliterated” as bulls remain in full control. Based on this, the analyst predicts that the altcoin is likely entering the most powerful part of the wave, completing Wave 3 of 3.   Related Reading: Pundit Reveals The Two Things That Will Drive XRP Price To All-Time Highs Further commenting on the XRP price action, CasiTrades noted that the altcoin has already backtested the $2.70 level. With this, it is now targeting a rally to $3.04, which is the next major Fibonacci resistance level. Her accompanying chart showed that a clean break above this Fib level could send XRP to $3.4, which is the next major resistance after $3.04. A rally to this level would put its ATH well in sight.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.93, up over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP price could be preparing for a historic breakout, as a prominent crypto pundit has pinpointed two key catalysts that could send the altcoin soaring to new all-time highs. As analyst sentiment flips bullish, and XRP attempts to move out from its prolonged consolidation phase, the stage may be set for the cryptocurrency’s long-awaited price explosion. Factors Set To Send XRP Price To A New ATH JD, a well-known crypto analyst on X (formerly Twitter), has identified two critical technical conditions that could propel the XRP price to a fresh ATH target. According to the expert, XRP’s path to a historic price surge depends on breaking out of a long-standing Falling Wedge pattern and invalidating the EDO Farina indicator.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts 50% “Moonshot” For XRP Price If This Line Breaks The Falling Wedge pattern has held XRP in a tight consolidation phase for an extended period, particularly evident on the weekly chart. JD considers this formation historically bullish when broken to the upside, and XRP is apparently nearing a pivotal point where a breakout could be imminent. Notably, a successful breach of this Falling Wedge pattern would signal renewed bullish momentum and potentially spark a rally toward uncharted price territory. The second factor emphasized by the crypto analyst is the need to render the EDO Farina bearish indicator null and void. JD views this technical signal as a false indicator of sustained downward movement. The market expert maintains a strong and long-standing bullish position on XRP, predicting on multiple occasions that the cryptocurrency could soon skyrocket.  In one of his latest price analyses, JD outlined his bullish forecast for XRP, citing his previously accurate call of a 12x rally to $3.37. Confident in his method, the analyst now aims to apply the same strategy to pinpoint the altcoin’s next market top.  JD also noted that no major news, hype, or sudden excitement is necessary to drive XRP to a new all-time high. In his view, such events often trap inexperienced traders, causing them to buy high and get “Rekt.” Building on this optimistic outlook, the analyst projects that the altcoin will eventually climb to new levels before crashing by up to 90%.  Analyst Forecasts Over 250% Surge For XRP In a bold new analysis, Javon Marks, another prominent crypto analyst, shared a bullish outlook for XRP, predicting a potential price surge of over 251% from its current level. According to the market expert, historical price behavior and long-term chart patterns indicate that XRP may be on the cusp of entering its next significant upward leg, with targets set at $9.631.  Related Reading: XRP Price About To Explode: XRPBTC Could Repeat 2017 Fractal Notably, XRP’s bullish target is not confined to this level. Marks believes that it could climb even higher, with his price chart featuring an arrow that points to a potential surge beyond $33 in the next few years.

In a new video released June 9, crypto analyst CryptoInsightUK issued a extremely bullish XRP update, citing a convergence of technical signals that he believes could set the stage for a powerful upward move. Drawing parallels to previous market cycles, the analyst points to the reappearance of a signal that once preceded a 464% rally in XRP, and says this may mark the beginning of a similar explosive breakout. XRP Breakout Confirmed? Yesterday, XRP recorded its highest 4-hour close since May 23, breaking out of a prolonged range. The token has entered what he called a “dense area of liquidity,” an important technical zone that has historically preceded impulsive price action. In a notable divergence from typical market dynamics, XRP is leading Bitcoin, rather than following it. “XRP is currently leading Bitcoin on this move,” he said. “Something I’ve been calling for a while is for XRP to lead alts and lead a potential alt season.” CryptoInsightUK sees further confirmation in Bitcoin’s setup. BTC is still consolidating but pushing above the $111,000 liquidity zone. A move into that zone, he said, would “give us confluence that the price action XRP’s displaying is not a fakeout.” Related Reading: Pundit Says XRP’s Rise To $1,000 Will Happen A Lot Sooner Than Anticipated Structurally, XRP’s trend remains intact. Despite recent pullbacks, the token has maintained its higher-low formation, a signal of technical strength. More importantly, XRP/BTC is beginning to show momentum reversal. “We’ve just had the highest 4-hour close since the 24th of May. This is showing the momentum to the downside is waning.” He highlights a specific line on the XRP/BTC chart referenced by fellow analyst Credible Crypto as the “Gandalf line”—a level that has acted as a pivot point for years. XRP has now closed above it on the 4-hour chart. “We’ve wicked into it, bounced off it. We lose it, we get pushed down hard. We break it, we normally really go for it.” Zooming out, he points to the weekly RSI (Relative Strength Index) on XRP’s price chart. If the current weekly candle closes above the RSI’s simple moving average, it would be the first time since XRP’s breakout off the lows—an event that previously triggered a 464% move to $2.70. “If we get the bullish cross close… 464% from this [level] would take us to $13.05,” he explained. “I think we’re going to about $12 on this push.” Related Reading: Analyst Predicts 50% “Moonshot” For XRP Price If This Line Breaks Moreover, the analyst anticipates a 325% move in XRP/BTC based on historical ratios and a potential surge in XRP dominance toward 14%, with an even more aggressive Elliott Wave count pointing to a possible move to 20% dominance. “We’ve completed a Wyckoff accumulation. We’re in the sign of strength phase. Last point support… we’re going into phase E,” he said, referencing classical technical accumulation structures. Still, despite the bullish setup, the analyst made clear he plans to de-risk between $8 and $13, emphasizing capital preservation after a potential 20x move from 50 cents. “The risk-to-reward on the downside is just too large at that point,” he noted. “Even if it goes significantly higher… anyone who’s done a 20x on something should be taking some money off the table.” He concluded the analysis with cautious optimism: “Don’t start counting your Lambos yet, but also probably start scrolling the magazine.” For now, all eyes are on XRP’s price action and Bitcoin’s staying power above $111,000. If both confirm, as he put it: “It’s game on.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.44. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst Jaydee has called out market participants who predict that the XRP price could rally to as high as $1,000. The analyst suggested that the altcoin can’t reach such heights and revealed what price levels he will be taking profits at.  Analyst Indicates XRP Price Cannot Reach $1,000 In an X post, Jaydee stated that while the “moonboys and influencers: are waiting for the XRP price to reach $1,000, he plans to take more profits at his next levels. He declared that he plans to use the same strategy he employed when he called the 12x at $3.37. The analyst admitted that the altcoin is going much higher soon but suggested that those waiting for $1,000 will still get “rekt.” Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Reach $20-$30 — Elliott Wave Theory Holds The Key Jaydee further remarked that they “dumb money to HODL till $1,000 for us smart money to win big.” His statement comes just a day after crypto pundit BarriC predicted that the XRP price will rally to $1,000 sooner than many expect. He further suggested that the rally will be similar to how XRP recorded an explosive surge in 2017, when it rallied from $0.0006 to $3.80. However, Jaydee doesn’t expect this to happen. Instead, his accompanying chart showed that the XRP price could just rally to a conservative target of around $7 between August and September. This would still mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin.  The crypto analyst also recently predicted a 50% “moonshot” for the XRP price, which could send it to as high as $3.35 in the short term. A rally to $3.35 will bring the altcoin close to its current ATH of $3.80. It would also mark a new yearly high for the altcoin.  XRP Is Bullish On All Timeframes In an X post, crypto analyst Dark Defender declared that the XRP price is bullish on all timeframes for the first time since January 2025, when it reached its yearly high of $3.3. In another X post, the analyst stated that XRP is way ahead, having recorded a breakout above $2.33. With this breakout, he remarked that the altcoin’s journey to its all-time high has begun.  Related Reading: XRP Price Closes Highest Quarterly Candle In History Dark Defender’s accompanying chart showed that the XRP price could surpass its current ATH of $3.80 and rally to $4.2. This price surge is expected to happen between now and September, providing a bullish outlook for the altcoin. Crypto analyst CasiTrades also highlighted how bullish the break above $2.30 was for XRP. She claimed that the altcoin could reach as high as $3.04 on this leg up.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.42, up almost 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
