Crypto analyst ChartNerd has predicted that the XRP price could rally 10x if a specific trend repeats. The analyst also revealed what needs to happen for the altcoin to invalidate this potential parabolic rally.   XRP Price Could Rally 10x If This 2017 Pattern Plays Out In an X post, ChartNerd predicted that the XRP price could rally 1,000% if a bullish pattern from the 2017 bull cycle plays out. The analyst noted that during the 2017 euphoric run, the altcoin had a 3-month cool-off period where it successfully dropped towards its 3-month 20-EMA for a retest before a 25x move to the upside.   Related Reading: Analyst Says Get Ready For XRP Price Above $4 This Cycle ChartNerd revealed that the XRP price has now witnessed the exact same set-up in this 2025 bull cycle. The altcoin recorded a huge breakout last year and is now seeing a 3-month cool-off period towards a 3-month 20-EMA retest. The analyst stated that if history is set to repeat, XRP could see a 10x upside move, signaling a blow-off top.   The analyst also alluded to the 2021 lower high, which he noted ties up with both the monthly candle close highs from 2017 and also the SEC lawsuit, which is believed to have suppressed the XRP price during the 2021 cycle. ChartNerd added that to invalidate this potential rally, XRP will need to close below its 3-month 20-EMA at $1.20. Until then, he noted that the bulls remain in control.  Meanwhile, ChartNerd outlined $8, $13, and $27 as the potential top-out points for the XRP price. Notably, a rally to any of these price targets will mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto had also previously predicted that XRP could reach $27 in this bull run if it mirrors the 2017 price action.  XRP Could Be The Next Crypto To Record A Major Run Market commentator Milk Road suggested in an X post that the XRP price could soon record a major run. The platform cited bullish fundamentals for the altcoin, including the fact that RLUSD crossed $1 billion in market cap in record time. The run to this milestone is said to be faster than almost any stablecoin Ripple has ever pushed.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $100 Before Bitcoin Hits $1 Million Furthermore, Milk Road noted that Abu Dhabi’s ADGM has opened the door for institutions to use RLUSD as real collateral, which is also bullish for the XRP price. The market commentator stated that global liquidity with regulated on-ramps could mean the kind of flows that crypto hasn’t seen in months. It is also worth noting that XRP is seeing significant flows into its ecosystem through the U.S. spot ETFs.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.18, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Interest in XRP has increased massively after the launch of Spot XRP ETFs, leading some supporters to float a $100 per token rally before the end of the year. That scenario, however, appears highly unrealistic when basic market fundamentals are considered.  In a recent post on X, Zach Humphries dismissed triple-digit predictions, calling them “delusional” and warning that they mislead people who don’t grasp the math behind market valuation. The Market Cap Reality Check Any attempt to peg XRP at $100 must first contend with its circulating supply and the resulting total valuation that such a price implies. According to Humphries, pushing XRP to $100 would demand a market capitalization of about $6 trillion for the cryptocurrency. That figure amounts to a more than 40-fold increase over current market cap levels, a leap so vast it would require inflows that dwarf anything seen in the crypto industry to date. Related Reading: The Bull And Bear Scenario For XRP That Could Play Out In November The entire crypto market itself has a total capitalization of about $3 trillion. Pushing a single altcoin like XRP to $6 trillion in value would mean the coin alone becomes more than twice as large as the entire crypto market combined.  XRP reaching $100 is a 4,445% increase from its current price level. Keeping this in mind, it is really unrealistic for XRP to reach $100 even in the next year alone. Therefore, those making claims that the asset can touch $100 before 2025 ends, with only one month left on the calendar, disregard how capital moves, how long accumulation cycles take, and how much work is involved in building market caps of this size.  The recent emergence of XRP ETFs does offer improved access for institutional and retail investors. However, the expansion needed for XRP to reach $100 is so large that no ETF launch or last-minute rally could generate the necessary inflows or supply shock within the next 35 days. Long-Term Potential Still Exists Although the $100 target within the next few weeks appears unattainable, that does not necessarily diminish the long-term appeal of XRP. Enthusiasts who see effects from adoption, regulatory developments, and institutional inflows may still believe in significant upside over a multi-year timeframe. Zach Humpries, for one, noted that he is still very bullish on Ripple/XRP long-term. Related Reading: Pundit Reveals Why XRP Price At $1,000 Is Not A Dream – ‘It’s Math’ The purpose of Humphries’ warning message was to restore perspective, not dampen long-term bullish sentiment. The important message is for XRP enthusiasts to shift their focus away from unrealistic valuations this year and instead consider targets that align with actual market cap growth.  In a follow-up reply to comments on his post, he mentioned a far more grounded scenario of XRP reaching the $5 region by Christmas. However, this is also very bullish and is dependent on optimism returning to the wider crypto market. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Charting Guy (@ChartingGuy) is mapping out a sharply asymmetric setup for XRP, arguing that the token is locked in a textbook Wyckoff reaccumulation and is “still NOT bearish in the slightest” despite a year of range-bound trading. Why XRP Is Still Not Bearish His work is based on XRP/USD Bitstamp charts posted on X on 27 November 2025. On the weekly view, XRP trades around $2.23 after an 8–9% gain on the week, consolidating below the 2025 peak at approximately $3.317, which he marks as the 1.0 Fibonacci level. The retracement is drawn from the cycle low near $0.11400 up to that high, producing a ladder of levels that structure the entire thesis. Key Fibonacci levels include 0.5 at about $0.61495, 0.618 at $0.91531, 0.702 just above $1.20 and, crucially, 0.786 at $1.61246. A broad highlighted band covers the prior 2021 high zone and this 0.786 cluster, roughly from the mid-$1s into the low-$2s. Charting Guy describes this as XRP “building support on prior cycle high as well as top of golden pocket,” referring to the 0.618–0.786 retracement area. Related Reading: XRP Reserves On Binance Collapse To Record Lows: Investors Move Toward Long-Term Holding Above the 2025 high, he plots classic Fibonacci extensions: 1.272 at about $8.29661, 1.414 around $13.38940 and 1.618 near $26.63038. His immediate scenario, however, stops short of those levels, projecting a move toward roughly $7.50. XRP Price Roadmap For 2026 The detailed roadmap appears on a two-day XRP/USD chart overlaid with a Wyckoff schematic. The structure begins with a Preliminarily Supply (PSY) phase and a Buying Climax (BC) into the low-$3 zone, followed by a Secondary Test (ST) and an Automatic Reaction (AR) that defines the lower boundary of the range. Horizontal lines mark that floor near $1.61184, an intermediate band around $1.95, resistance at approximately $2.90 and the upper ceiling just above $3.30. During mid-2025, XRP prints an “UT Phase B” upthrust into that $3+ resistance before rolling into a downward-sloping channel. The upper boundary of this channel, labeled “CREEK,” connects a series of lower highs, while the lower boundary guides price back toward the $1.61–1.70 support. In the scenario path, XRP spikes down to test the blue horizontal at $1.61184. This move is annotated as the “SPRING” — Wyckoff’s final shakeout below range support. Price then rebounds to retake the $1.95 area, marked “TEST,” and establishes a higher low between roughly $2.00 and $2.20 as the first “LPS” (Last Point of Support). Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $100 Before Bitcoin Hits $1 Million From there, the schematic shows a decisive break of the descending “CREEK” trendline, the “JATC” or “Jump Across The Creek,” as XRP accelerates from around $2.20–2.30 through the $2.90 resistance. That breakout is followed by a “SOS” (Sign of Strength) above the former ceiling, with another LPS holding around the $2.90 region and confirming the flip of resistance into support. The right edge of the 2D chart then projects a steep markup phase. XRP rallies from roughly $3.00 to just above $7.50 before stalling, even though it remains below the 1.272 weekly extension at $8.29661. Alongside the charts, Charting Guy pushes back against bearish momentum narratives centered on the monthly RSI. He notes that the RSI peak occurred in January 2025 and “lost momentum ALL 2025 while XRP stayed sideways in a range and held its own,” calling this “a very textbook reaccumulation signal where indicators lose steam to reset and price stays stable.” The technical message is unambiguous: as long as the $1.61–1.70 band holds, Charting Guy views XRP’s extended consolidation as preparation, not distribution—anticipating a final flush below $1.70, followed by a Wyckoff-style breakout sequence toward approximately $7.50. At press time, XRP traded at $2.23. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP is under intense selling pressure as the broader crypto market enters a decisive stage marked by fear, uncertainty, and a rapid shift in investor sentiment. With Bitcoin struggling to recover and altcoins posting steep losses, many analysts are warning that XRP could face a continued decline in the coming days. Investors are bracing for more volatility as liquidity thins and market confidence weakens. Related Reading: Major Bitcoin LTH Sell-Off Signals Cycle Exhaustion as Supply Drops to 13.6M BTC Yet, despite the bearish narrative, the XRP ecosystem has shown unusual levels of activity—particularly on the institutional front. The arrival of the first US spot XRP ETFs has reshaped its market profile. Canary Capital was the first to launch on November 13, soon followed by Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and Grayscale. In a matter of days, XRP transitioned from a conventional crypto asset to one accessible through regulated institutional vehicles, potentially shifting its long-term demand dynamics. This new backdrop makes one ongoing trend on Binance even more striking. Since October, XRP reserves on the exchange have been falling sharply. Current data shows reserves have dropped to roughly 2.7 billion XRP, one of the lowest levels ever recorded on the platform. Such consistent outflows signal rising demand for self-custody—an important metric as XRP navigates this critical market phase. XRP Exchange Outflows Signal Strengthening Long-Term Demand According to a new CryptoQuant report by analyst Darkfost, XRP is experiencing one of its most notable exchange outflow trends in years. Since October 6, roughly 300 million XRP have left Binance alone—a figure far too large and too consistent to dismiss as simple internal reshuffling. While a small portion of these transfers may be operational movements by the exchange, the broader pattern is unmistakable: investors are steadily withdrawing XRP from trading platforms. This behavior is typically interpreted as a bullish long-term signal. Day after day, the decline in exchange reserves continues, suggesting that buyers are choosing to move their XRP into private wallets rather than leaving them on exchanges for trading or short-term speculation. Historically, large-scale withdrawals reflect strong conviction, as holders position themselves for longer-term appreciation rather than immediate selling. The supply dynamics created by this trend are significant. With fewer tokens available on exchanges, liquidity tightens. When combined with the rising institutional interest brought by newly launched U.S. spot ETFs, this creates the potential foundation for a powerful shift in momentum. If exchange reserves continue dropping at the current pace, XRP could enter a more structured phase of accumulation—one driven not by hype, but by growing confidence from both retail and institutional participants.

After weeks of decline, XRP found temporary support near the $2 psychological zone, where buyers briefly stepped in to prevent a deeper breakdown. This area aligns closely with the 200-day moving average (red line), which has acted as a final line of defense during multiple market cycles. Despite the small rebound, XRP continues to trade well below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, both of which are now sloping downward and reinforcing the broader bearish trend. The inability to reclaim the $2.40–$2.50 zone — an important previous support turned resistance — suggests that sellers still dominate the market structure. Volume also remains muted compared to earlier phases of the cycle, indicating that strong conviction buying has not yet returned.

A crypto analyst has issued a decisive projection that challenges the long timelines often associated with major price milestones for Bitcoin. His outlook was presented in response to the ultra-bullish forecasts from Michael Saylor and Jack Mallers, who have spoken openly about the possibility of Bitcoin reaching between $1 million and $20 million per coin.  Rather than focusing on Bitcoin’s distant targets, the analyst directed attention to XRP, insisting that XRP will reach $100 long before Bitcoin touches the seven-figure mark. Analyst Says XRP Will Reach $100 Before Bitcoin’s Million-Dollar Target There have been many bullish predictions of Bitcoin breaking above the $1 million mark in recent months, with notable names like Michael Saylor and Cathie Wood pointing to million-dollar targets.  Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Will Flip Bitcoin As These Developments Play Out However, an analyst who goes by the name 24HRSCRYPTO on the social media platform X referenced Saylor and Mallers’ price prediction, which places future Bitcoin valuations in the tens of millions per coin and implies a market cap approaching $500 trillion. He contrasted those long-range projections with what he believes is a more attainable and nearer-term milestone for XRP.  Punching in the numbers shows that XRP is a 4,445% move away from $100 based on its current price level of around $2.2. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is 990% away from the $1 million price. Even with that difference, the analyst noted, “You will see XRP at $100 before Bitcoin hits $1 million.” The statement points to the view that XRP is positioned for faster price growth in the foreseeable future, as seen by price dynamics in the past few months. The crypto is increasingly being positioned in a situation where demand and adoption of the Ripple ecosystem could take it to new heights. On the other hand, Bitcoin’s price action is slowing down relative to XRP. Notably, technical analysis of the XRP/BTC pair places XRP on the path to outperforming Bitcoin in the coming weeks and months.  The Altcoin Will Hit $1,000 Before Bitcoin Touches $19 Million The analyst extended his projection even further by asserting that XRP could rally to $1,000 before Bitcoin comes close to the $19 million figure referenced by Saylor. Such a valuation for Bitcoin would imply a market capitalization of roughly $500 trillion, a scale far beyond anything seen in global financial history.  Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Price Will Surge To $220 Due To ETFs, But Is This Possible? Measured from today’s levels, Bitcoin would need to climb roughly 20,635% to reach the $19 million mark. XRP’s path to $1,000 amounts to an even larger jump of about 45,300%, which corresponds to a market cap of $60 trillion based on its current circulating supply. Still, XRP reaching $1,000 is, in his view, more feasible than Bitcoin reaching millions per coin. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst NeverWishing has predicted that the XRP price will rally to as high as $1,115. He highlighted three paths for XRP to reach this target, in what the analyst described as the final bull run for the altcoin.  Analyst Maps Out Final XRP Bull Run Rally To $1,115 In a TradingView post, the crypto analyst mapped out three paths for XRP to rally to the $1,115 target. They tagged the first path as the immediate delivery, the second as a normal delivery, and the third as one that will trigger only if the XRP price stays suppressed. For the third path, NeverWishing stated that a final backup execution could happen between January 1 and 6 next year. Related Reading: The Bull And Bear Scenario For XRP That Could Play Out In November For path A, NeverWishing stated that it will start between this month and next month, with the first impulse sparking an XRP rally to between $30 and $33. The secondary spike will send the altcoin to $186, while a consolidation phase will lead to a climb toward $285. After that, XRP will rally to its final blow-off target of $1,115.  NeverWishing described the second path as the fastest, stating it will occur between January and March next year. The first stop will be between $30 and $33 for XRP, after which volatility waves will occur through February and March. The altcoin will then break into the macro expansion zone, with the major target at $285 and the final target at $1,115. The Third Path For XRP The analyst noted that the third path is smoother and slightly delayed. NeverWishing also reiterated that this is a suppressed variant and will only happen if the first and second paths fail. They explained that if the XRP price stays held down, then the algorithm will reset and fire between January 1 and 6 next year. Related Reading: Why XRP Price Crash Below $2 Is Not A Problem – $20 Is Still The Target XRP will have the same opening move as the first two paths, rallying to between $30 and $33. It will then have the same structure as the second path, with the macro targets being $285 and $1,115. NeverWishing then outlined the key timing windows for XRP as it eyes a rally to this $1,115 target.  The first key timing is between this month and January 2026, which marks the entry and breakout window. The analyst tagged March 21, 2026, as the mid-cycle reversal point in the XRP final bull run. August 14, 2026, marks the “warning zone,” while the pullback is expected between October and November 2026. Lastly, NeverWishing stated that January 1, 2027, is the final liquidity window.   At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.20, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

A crypto analyst has made a bold statement about XRP’s current price behavior, arguing that the cryptocurrency’s slow movements are necessary to build strong support levels. The analyst highlights the importance of consolidation and long-term accumulation, suggesting that XRP’s support levels are laying the groundwork for a market reset and a significant price surge.  The Mind-Blowing Truth About XRP On Wednesday, crypto market expert Diep Sanh took to X, announcing that he had a mind-blowing message to share with the crypto community. The analyst explained that XRP’s current price action is far more important than many investors realize. According to him, extended periods of consolidation, as XRP is currently experiencing, lay the foundation for major rallies. Related Reading: Bitcoin Dead Cat Bounce: Analyst Reveals What To Expect As Price Recovers Sanh emphasized that when XRP spends a significant time near the $2 mark, it gives investors the chance to accumulate at that price. He explained that this accumulation builds a powerful layer of support, which can help stabilize the market during future corrections. He also noted that once XRP climbs to a higher region and stays there long enough to form a higher low, a new wave of investors usually enters. This creates the next support base and sets the stage for a major upward move.   Sanh hinted that XRP could reach dramatic price targets, such as $10 or even $100. However, it would require several of these strong support layers to form over time. Each layer represents greater confidence in the asset and more liquidity to sustain a stronger market. The analyst noted that investors or traders who are frustrated by XRP’s low price and recent downturn are missing the bigger picture. He highlighted that they do not understand how these gradual accumulation phases work or how they can contribute to long-term gains.  XRP Remains One Of The Best Crypto Plays After Price Dip In a subsequent analysis, Sanh reaffirmed his confidence in XRP’s future outlook following the recent market downturn. He noted that XRP remains one of the strongest crypto plays despite its recent price crash. The analyst emphasized that the cryptocurrency continues to stand out due to the utility of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a blockchain network engineered for fast and efficient global payments.   Related Reading: XRP 100x Rally To $225: Why The Only Place To Go Is Up Sanh noted that this unique design of XRPL gives it an advantage over many large-cap competitors. Moreover, with regulatory uncertainty largely resolved after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dispute, the analyst highlights that XRP has already outperformed most top assets.  Currently, XRP is trading at $2.2, experiencing a slight recovery despite recording weeks of choppy price action. Sanh disclosed that investors and traders tend to treat such corrections as strategic accumulation periods rather than signs of weakness. He argued that if XRP continues to expand in areas such as cross-border payments, tokenized asset markets, and stablecoin development, it would benefit its underlying structure. He added that these expanding sectors will also provide long-term support for the cryptocurrency’s growth potential.   Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Despite the XRP price struggling to stay afloat in the current market, it has not deterred the bulls from continuing to push for higher prices. This is amid the XRP ETF launches that have taken place over the last week, X triggering a significant amount of inflow into the cryptocurrency. The calls for new all-time high prices to surpass its 2018 $3.84 peak have only grown louder, with timelines getting shorter. This time around, one analyst has predicted a new all-time high, with what they call a “true Elliot Wave view.” Why XRP Price Could Still Gun Above $4 In an analysis shared on X with over 35,000 followers, crypto analyst XForce Global has put forward the idea that the Elliot Wave Theory has not completely played out for the XRP price. So far, the belief has been that the XRP price has completed the last and final wave and could be headed into a bear market. However, the crypto analyst doesn’t believe this is the case. Related Reading: XRP Price Will Climb Above $10 When This Happens: Analyst XForce Global points to the fact that analysts who use the Elliot Wave theory could struggle with the chart they shared. But this chart apparently removes all of the market inefficiencies, allowing the XRP price to be viewed through a clear lens. The analysis suggests that the altcoin could see a bullish continuation, running a flat route upward after hitting support above $1.87. Such a surge would put the XRP price on the path above $4, with the digital asset possibly topping above $5. In the event that the price does crash further than the current local lows, the analyst believes that an expanded flat route beginning above $1.6 would still trigger a similar outcome. Both rallies are expected to push the XRP price above $4 and then top toward $6. Major Factor To Drive Price Explosion One major factor that analysts have put forward to drive an XRP price explosion is the launch of XRP ETFs. With more than 3 XRP ETFs now trading in the US, analyst Chad Steingraber has outlined how their launch could affect the altcoin’s price. Related Reading: Financial Strategist Debunks Prediction That Bitcoin Price Will Reach $220,000 In 45 Days Steingraber explained that, so far, the XRP price had been seeing some uptick during ETF trading hours, and then declining during off-hours. This is building pressure and momentum, and is expected to accumulate over time. The result of this is supposed to be a major price explosion in the next few months, possibly pushing XRP to new peaks. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Total XRP ETF assets crossed $628 million, absorbing nearly 80 million tokens in 24 hours, making for a stronger initial response than Solana’s ETF debut earlier this year.

A cryptocurrency analyst has pointed out how XRP has bounced off the bottom level of a Parallel Channel and could be headed toward its midway line. XRP Recently Found Support At The Lower Line Of A Parallel Channel In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has discussed about a technical analysis (TA) pattern forming in the 3-day price of XRP. The pattern in question is a “Parallel Channel,” appearing whenever an asset’s price consolidates between two parallel trendlines. Related Reading: Capriole Founder Not Bearish On Bitcoin Despite Headwinds—Here’s Why The upper level of the channel provides resistance to the asset, making tops probable at it. Similarly, the lower line can facilitate bottom formations by acting as a source of support. A breakout of either of these bounds can imply a continuation of the trend in that direction. There are a few different types of Parallel Channels, but the one of interest here is the most basic version: a channel that’s parallel to the time-axis. This type corresponds to a phase of true sideways movement in the price. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Parallel Channel that the 3-day price of XRP has been stuck inside for the past year: As is visible in the above graph, XRP witnessed a failed breakout beyond the upper line of the Parallel Channel back in July. This kicked off a phase of downtrend for the cryptocurrency, which culminated in a retest of the channel’s lower line earlier in November. The coin has since observed a rebound, a potential sign that the support level of the Parallel Channel is holding up. The analyst thinks that the cryptocurrency may now be heading toward the midpoint of the pattern, located at $2.60. From the current price of the asset, a rally to this level would mean an increase of almost 20%. It now remains to be seen whether the coin’s surge will continue, or if it will retrace back to the support line again. Related Reading: XRP Jumps 7%, But Watch Out For Speculative Froth Something that could make the latter scenario more likely is profit-taking from the whales. As Martinez has highlighted in another X post, the large XRP holders carrying between 1 million and 10 million tokens participated in distribution during the asset’s latest recovery surge. As displayed in the chart, XRP whales reduced their supply by more than 180 million tokens (worth $391 million at the latest exchange rate) alongside its 17% price rally. This selloff was only a continuation of the trend from earlier in the month, and could be a potential sign that the sentiment among big-money traders hasn’t changed despite the rebound. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $2.17, down 1.5% over the last 24 hours. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, charts from TradingView.com

As the cryptocurrency ecosystem matures and evolves, a new narrative is gaining traction that positions XRP for an upcoming institutional-driven surge that could redefine market expectations. With momentum building around XRP exchange-traded funds, one prominent analyst now believes the asset could be on the verge of a rally so large it may outperform Bitcoin’s own ETF-driven surge. Why Analysts Believe XRP Is Poised For A Larger Upside Than Bitcoin XRP is entering its ETF chapter, and the scale of what’s coming could make Bitcoin look small. Crypto analyst Xfinancebull mentioned on X that early players like Grayscale, Bitwise, Franklin, and Canary Funds are already live with their XRP products. Meanwhile, the real power players like BlackRock, Fidelity, and the other giants haven’t even filed for an XRP spot ETF yet, which shows this is just a warm-up. Related Reading: Here’s Why A Supply Shock Could Be Imminent For XRP The heavyweights haven’t even stepped into the arena, and the initial institutional capital is already flowing. Spot ETFs were highly beneficial for BTC, which triggered a trillion-dollar shockwave that attracted Wall Street institutions and momentum traders who couldn’t ignore the access.  According to Xfinancebull, XRP is a different beast, with functional utility, real-world adoption, and banking infrastructure already built out across Japan and Asia. The capital that will soon flood into XRP via ETFs won’t just speculate, but it will stay. When a fraction of over $80 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) from these initial titans begins to rotate into XRP, the inflows could be significant. This is cold, hard math that is about to unlock high levels of liquidity and historically repeat the move on a larger scale. “The XRP spot ETF ignition is not coming, but it is already here. If you missed the Bitcoin momentum move, don’t miss this one,” Xfinancebull noted. An analyst known as RipBullWinkle has also highlighted that Bitcoin has leaked $151 million, while XRP led all inflows with $164 million. That’s not random, it’s institutions reallocating with intention into assets built for settlement and speed. When powerhouses like Franklin Templeton and Grayscale pull over $130 million into XRP on day one, it confirms where the institutional smart money is going. Market Stabilization Signals The Start Of A New Upward Leg Bitcoin and altcoins are reacting sharply to momentary declines after the brief pullback. TerraHaberTr has stated that BTC has reclaimed the $87,000 level, and if momentum continues at this pace, BTC will target $90,000 and $100,000 levels. On the altcoin side, the recovery is happening even faster, and altcoins that have experienced deep dips may start to gain strength. Related Reading: XRP Price Will Climb Above $10 When This Happens: Analyst Meanwhile, XRP is gaining traction as it pushes back above $2.20. If the move continues, XRP could reach the $3.00 region.

XRP may be positioned for a major rally that reshapes its broader market outlook. In a detailed analysis shared on X, crypto strategist Chad Steingraber outlines calculations showing how expanding ETF activity could set the stage for a 100-fold move, pushing XRP toward $225 per token. His commentary consolidates a series of demand-and-supply assessments that map the structural forces he believes define XRP’s potential rally, signaling a market phase increasingly driven by institutional participation. Mapping XRP’s Path To A 100x Rally At $225 According to Steingraber, XRP’s path to $225 follows a series of milestones. He projects a fivefold rise to $11.25, tenfold to $22.50, twentyfold to $45, fortyfold to $90, sixtyfold to $135, and ultimately a 100-fold increase to $225. Each step reflects the interaction between supply absorption and price adjustment: as ETFs acquire more XRP, price rises, moderating the rate of accumulation and maintaining balance in the market. In Steingraber’s view, the only outcome is a sharp rise in XRP’s price.  Related Reading: Attack On Cardano Founder Leads To Network Halt, What Really Happened? While XRP’s current market performance shows a 1.8% decline over 24 hours and an 8.4% decline over two weeks, Steingraber emphasizes that these short-term fluctuations are minor compared to structural forces. ETF-driven demand and institutional acquisition are poised to create a supply-demand imbalance that pushes XRP far beyond its current trading range. Overall, his analysis frames XRP’s potential 100x rally to $225 as a structural outcome of institutional participation, ETF inflows, and supply scarcity. Price increases are essential to slow the rate at which asset managers acquire the token, making the rally a logical response to market mechanics rather than a speculative prediction. How ETF Inflows Shape XRP’s Supply Dynamics Steingraber’s series of projections illustrates how XRP could be absorbed at a pace capable of significantly reducing its circulating supply within a short period. Under conservative estimates of $33.6 billion in annual inflows, he believes that most of the available XRP could be acquired within a year. More aggressive scenarios involving major asset managers such as BlackRock could see the entire circulating supply absorbed in less than six months. Related Reading: Will The Low XRP Price Force Ripple To Dump Its Holdings? Exec Answers Community To illustrate the scale of demand, he breaks down current acquisition rates: seven major funds are taking in an average of $20 million per day each, totaling $140 million daily, $700 million weekly, and $2.8 billion monthly, amounting to $33.6 billion annually. At XRP’s current price of $2.20, these inflows would allow institutions to accumulate massive quantities of the token, creating rapid scarcity.  This dynamic makes a substantial price increase unavoidable, as higher prices slow accumulation under fixed allocations and prevent ETFs from depleting the market too quickly. XRP’s rising price is therefore not just a market reaction but a structural requirement to maintain balance amid large-scale institutional buy-ins.   Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

The XRP price is currently at risk of a crash as crypto analyst Umair has revealed that the altcoin has formed a death cross. Notably, this same pattern formed the last time that XRP suffered a 15% crash.  XRP Price At Risk With Death Cross Forming In an X post, Umair stated that a death cross was forming on the daily chart for the XRP price. He further noted that the last time the altcoin printed this setup, it crashed by 15%, which, the analyst said, lines up perfectly with a potential decline to the $1.50 range. As such, he suggested that XRP could face the same outcome, since the same ingredients have formed.  Related Reading: XRP Price Will Climb Above $10 When This Happens: Analyst Umair also mentioned that the chart was building a tight range between $1.90 and $2.08, a range which he described as the entire decision maker. He explained that if the XRP price can stay inside this band and spend time there, then it could form a month-long consolidation needed for a real base.  However, if the XRP price fails to hold this range, then there is nothing stopping it from crashing to the $1.50 zone, according to the crypto analyst. He noted that this is exactly where the previous breakdown logic pointed. He also raised the possibility of another scenario playing out for XRP.  Umair stated that if the XRP price wicks below $1.82 but snaps back inside the $1.90 and $2.08 range, then that could mark the bottom. However, if the altcoin closes below this range, then the range loses integrity, and XRP could begin its freefall. It is worth mentioning that XRP had dropped to as low as $1.8 last week but has since reclaimed the psychological $2 level.  $1.65 Could Mark The Bottom For XRP Crypto analyst CasiTrades has predicted that the macro .618 support near $1.65 is likely to mark the bottom for the XRP price. This came as she noted that the altcoin was seeing a relief bounce for subwave 4. The analyst added that she expects XRP to backtest the $2 or $2.09 resistance before heading down to complete the final wave of this correction at $1.65.  Related Reading: Pundit Reveals Why XRP Price At $1,000 Is Not A Dream – ‘It’s Math’ CasiTrades noted that this aligns extremely cleanly with Bitcoin. She explained that the BTC price came close to its own macro .382 retracement but hasn’t fully made it yet. The analyst expects BTC to finish its correction at $80,000, as XRP price makes its last move to $1.65. Once those levels are hit, CasiTrades expects the structure to flip bullish fast.  The analyst predicts that Bitcoin will begin its Wave 5 into new highs while the XRP price and other altcoins kick off their macro Wave 3. She declared that they will begin their move together, but with different strengths because they are in different positions in the broader market cycle.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.17, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

After a few months of ups and downs, the XRP price had fallen below $2 this month for the first time in seven months, breaking down toward its yearly support of $1.79. While there has been some recovery recently, the momentum remains low, and the chances of a sustained recovery decline with each new dip. As the altcoin continues to struggle, a market analyst has outlined the two major directions that the price could go in, given the bull and bear scenarios. The Bull Case For XRP For the XRP price to continue to rise, there would need to be some major momentum shift from here. For one, the price will first have to break the resistance that lies at $2.12, and then forge forward to test further resistance at $2.18. In the event that the altcoin does break these resistances with momentum, then crypto analyst Melikatrader believes that it could resume its uptrend. Related Reading: CEO Reveals Ripple’s XRP Is Driving A JPMorgan Competitor, Is SWIFT Next? For these to happen, however, there would need to be a number of developments for the altcoin. The crypto analyst outlines three major things that need to happen for the cryptocurrency to begin another surge to reclaim the $2.35-$2.45 level. First of these is that buyers would need to regain control of the market. Over the last two months, it has been a seller’s market, with each pump being sold off harder than the last. Therefore, the only way for a major recovery would be for buyers to start being the majority again. Next on the list is the rest of the resistances to confirm support. Once the resistances mentioned above are broken and turned into support, then the next phase can begin. Last but not least is for the XRP price to break out of the descending trendline, with the target lying at $2.35-$2.45. Only then will the pump continue. How The Bears Can Take Control Just like the bulls, the XRP bears are still very much active in the market and could reclaim control of the altcoin. The first thing that the crypto analyst points out is that if the price is rejected from the S&D zone, failing to reclaim $2.12-$2.18, which means the resistance holds, then the price is likely to fall. Related Reading: Analyst Who Predicted Bitcoin Price Action With Chinese Astrology Shares When Prices Will Surge In the event of this, it would mean a number of things are happening; the first of which is that the momentum is moving toward a decline as sellers become the majority. Once the suppression begins, then it is likely that the price breaks below $2 again and dumps back to retest its recent lows of $1.90-$1.92. This, the analyst explains, “could lead to new cycle weakness.” Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Traders should watch for ETF inflows and whale distributions to determine if the $2.20 support will hold.

XRP is inching closer to a major turning point as fresh upward momentum collides with a developing, expanding diagonal structure. The recent impulse off support is starting to hint at a potential macro shift, raising expectations for a breakout-driven continuation if buyers can maintain control. Building Toward A Truncated Low: Market Structure Turns Complicated Hov recently highlighted a key shift in XRP’s structure, revisiting the outlook from the previous analysis where a potential push lower was expected to complete a truncated low. Since that discussion, XRP has dipped further, printing a new low on the line chart compared to the wick from the liquidity sweep. However, the movement into that low hasn’t been straightforward, carrying a structure that appears more complex than initially projected. Related Reading: XRP Price Continues Lower as Sellers Tighten Grip on Intraday Structure At first glance, the drop appeared to be a simple three-wave corrective pattern. But on closer inspection, Hov noted that a valid expanding diagonal count is also emerging. Despite the unusual structure, the price action off the most recent low is showing signs of strength.  XRP is now developing a clearer impulsive move upward, which could be the early stages of the momentum needed to set up the high-probability C/3 wave trade that has been anticipated. This early impulse doesn’t yet confirm a full trend reversal, but it does reflect a notable shift in market aggressiveness. For now, Hov maintains a bullish leaning toward this support zone holding. As long as buyers continue defending this area, the probability of the reversal scenario increases.  XRP Breaks Key Retracement Level As RSI Signals Growing Strength According to the latest update from TARA, XRP has successfully tapped the 0.5 retracement level while showing impressive strength on the RSI. That reaction alone hints at growing momentum beneath the surface. A break above this zone would shift the focus toward the next major target at $2.30, aligning with the crucial 0.382 level. Reclaiming that area would serve as a strong signal that XRP may finally be carving out a true bottom. Related Reading: XRP Price Pulls Back Slightly — Market Still Poised for Fresh Advance Despite this promising setup, confirmation of a new trend is still missing. Momentum is building, and price action is becoming increasingly impulsive, exactly the type of behavior typically seen at the early stage of a macro Wave 3. Another key factor lies outside XRP’s chart entirely. BTC has just reached its resistance zone around $88,300 and has not yet gained the strength needed to break through. This moment of hesitation is important because Bitcoin’s next decision will heavily influence XRP’s short-term direction. The market is extremely close to confirming its next major leg, and all eyes remain on how these critical levels react in the coming sessions.

XRP has witnessed a strong surge during the past day, but data shows speculative leverage is building up behind the scenes, a potential warning sign. XRP Has Enjoyed A Sharp Rally Over The Last 24 Hours The cryptocurrency market as a whole has seen some recovery from the recent crash, but XRP has stood out for its particularly rapid growth. With a jump of 7% over the past day, the coin has managed to return to the $2.19 level. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $40,000? Signal Behind Past 60% Crashes Is Back The chart below shows how the recent performance of the asset has looked: XRP’s breakaway from the pack has come as Franklin Templeton and Grayscale have launched their exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The products, with tickers XRPZ and GXRP, are now live on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Arca. While the debut has brought with it fresh institutional attention on the cryptocurrency, a potentially bearish signal has been brewing in the background. XRP Open Interest RSI Has Reached The Sell Zone As pointed out by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn in a new post on X, the XRP Open Interest Delta RSI has surged into the overheated territory recently. This indicator basically gauges the speed and magnitude of changes occurring in the asset’s Open Interest, a measure of the total amount of positions currently open on all derivatives exchanges. Below is the chart shared by Maartunn that shows the trend in this metric over the past few weeks. From the graph, it’s visible that the XRP Open Interest Delta RSI has surged above 70 recently, indicating that investors have opened derivatives positions aggressively within a short window. The analyst calls it “a classic sign of speculative leverage.” The overall Open Interest is still notably down compared to the high earlier in the month, but the latest rapid uptick could be a signal to keep an eye on. In the chart, Maartunn has highlighted the previous instances of this pattern forming. It would appear that breaks from the indicator into this territory have often coincided with local tops. So far, since the latest sell signal has appeared in the metric, XRP has continued to go up, but it only remains to be seen whether the rally will be sustainable, or if derivatives overheating will prove an obstacle.

Bitcoin dominance is currently sitting around the mid-50% range, and although it has not shown any dramatic breakdown yet, some traders are beginning to watch for signs of rotation. Data from platforms that track market share show Bitcoin dominance slowly pushing to the mid-fifties, but projections suggesting a future decline are forming the basis of new discussions in the XRP community. One such projection comes from an XRP enthusiast known as DROP, who shared a chart illustrating a steep fall in Bitcoin dominance that he believes will unlock XRP’s next major rally to double digits. Bitcoin Dominance Projection Shows A Breakdown Zone The chart shared by DROP outlines a scenario where Bitcoin dominance trends sideways for a while before sliding into the low-40% region. This projected decline is highlighted by a wide purple zone extending into 2026. The expectation is that a major rotation into altcoins, most especially XRP, would begin once dominance loses its current structure.  Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Needs To Be To Flip Bitcoin Although Bitcoin’s dominance has fallen quite a bit from its 60% range where it was circulating in October, it has fairly held up even when it fell to as low as $81,000 on November 21.  The last time Bitcoin’s dominance was as low as 40% was in early 2023. The idea behind the projection is not that another fall in dominance has already begun, but that the dominance is in a region where it could crash if market conditions change. According to DROP, this is the moment that will cement the beginning of XRP’s strongest move of the cycle. It is from here that the XRP price runs to double digits. Double-Digit XRP Dependent On A Crypto Market Transition XRP has often been one of the few assets that have shown the ability to outperform Bitcoin, especially when traders rotate into large-cap tokens that have lagged behind Bitcoin during the early part of a cycle.  Related Reading: XRP Price Has Surged 15% Anytime This Metric Appeared In The Past This pattern was visible in both January and July 2025. The January 2025 move pushed XRP above $3 for the first time since 2018, and the July 2025 move saw the XRP price register a new all-time high. The projection by DROP positions XRP as one of the likely gainers once market share begins to redistribute away from Bitcoin. This has not happened yet, and current dominance readings reflect stability rather than collapse. The projection centers on what could occur when the market enters the next altcoin rotation phase.  If dominance eventually drops toward the low-40% range, then the conditions might just be right for XRP to break out above $10. These conditions include retail and institutional participation, deeper liquidity from large investors, and meaningful inflows into XRP ETFs to sustain such an advance to double digits.

XRP is under heavy selling pressure as the broader crypto market struggles with uncertainty, risk aversion, and fading bullish momentum. Fear continues to spread across investors, and liquidity conditions are tightening, putting additional weight on assets that previously demonstrated strength. Related Reading: Bitmine Scoops Up Another 28,625 Ethereum ($82.1M) as Market Bleeds – Details One of the clearest signs of stress now comes from Binance data — the largest trading platform by volume — showing that XRP Open Interest has dropped to its lowest level since November 2024. This decline highlights a significant shift in trader positioning, signaling that speculative appetite is drying up and leverage is being unwound across the market. According to the latest derivatives metrics, XRP is entering a critical phase marked by weakening sentiment and a steady loss of momentum. The sharp contraction in Open Interest reflects reduced participation from both long and short traders, suggesting that the market currently lacks conviction to support a sustained directional move. This shift comes at a time when XRP had previously been attempting to stabilize above key psychological levels, but continued selling pressure has prevented a clean rebound. XRP Derivatives Show Liquidity Drain and Bearish Control A CryptoQuant report from Arab Chain reveals a sharp deterioration in XRP derivatives conditions, highlighting growing stress across the market. Open Interest on Binance has fallen dramatically from record highs above $1.7 billion to nearly $504 million, and briefly down to $473 million. This steep contraction reflects a major outflow of liquidity from both long and short positions, signaling that traders no longer have the conviction needed to sustain a clear directional trend. The decline in OI aligns closely with XRP’s price drop to $2, after trading above the $2.5–$3 range in recent weeks. This correlation suggests that traders are not reopening positions after being flushed out, leaving the market driven by short-term flows rather than sustained accumulation. Funding rates reinforce this weakness. Over the past two months, funding has frequently turned negative, showing that short sellers are willing to pay to maintain their positions. Negative funding typically indicates that selling pressure outweighs buying demand, increasing the probability of continued downside unless fresh liquidity enters the market. Taken together — collapsing Open Interest, persistent negative funding, and declining price action — the data paints a picture of deep fragility. There are no visible signs of meaningful accumulation from whales or institutions, and without a reversal in derivatives behavior, XRP remains firmly under seller control.

After failing to hold above the $2.50–$2.70 range, price broke down sharply and recently tagged lows near $1.90 before attempting a modest rebound. The rejection from the 50-day and 100-day moving averages shows that sellers remain firmly in control, with both moving averages now sloping downward — a sign of sustained bearish momentum. Additionally, XRP remains below the 200-day moving average, reinforcing the broader downside bias and signaling that the market has not yet regained long-term support. Related Reading: Anti-CZ Whale Loses Big: $61M in Profit Wiped Out As Ethereum and XRP Longs Collapse Volume spikes during selloffs highlight capitulation-driven moves rather than accumulation, while the weaker volume on recent green candles suggests limited conviction behind the bounce. Each recovery attempt has been met with resistance, forming lower highs and lower lows — a classic bearish continuation pattern. To shift sentiment, XRP would need to reclaim the $2.40 level and consolidate above it; otherwise, the risk of retesting $1.90 or even falling toward $1.70 remains elevated.

XRP traders are once again arguing about upside targets after popular chartist Charting Guy reposted a bullish long-term setup and doubled down on his call that XRP can still reach $8 this cycle. “XRP still going to $8, idc,” he wrote on X in the early hours of Nov. 25, alongside a weekly XRP/USD chart from Bitstamp. XRP Price Still Has Room To Run At the time of the screenshot, XRP was trading around $2.25, up roughly 9.8% on the week, with the chart plotting an Elliott Wave structure from early 2023 into a projected peak in 2026. The analysis is built on a dense Fibonacci framework spanning from about $0.25 to a 1.272 extension at $8.29661, which anchors his upside target. The green wave count shows a classic five-wave impulse. Wave 1 launches from the post-bear-market base into the 0.618 Fibonacci level near $0.915, where the first leg tops out. Wave 2 then retraces for 51 weekly bars (357 days), bottoming just above the 0.382 retracement at $0.41315. Related Reading: XRP Real Purpose: Documentation Shows Payment Utility Contrary To Viral Claims — Details Wave 3 is drawn as a steep rally off that base, blasting through all mid-range Fibonacci bands and extending beyond the 1.0 level at $3.31700. In the replies, one user suggested the spike to around $3.65 had already completed the fifth wave; Charting Guy rejected that outright: “it wasn’t… was very clearly a B wave.” From that high, the chart records a year-long consolidation labelled as Wave 4, annotated as 50 weekly bars (350 days). Price fluctuates between roughly the mid-$2 area and above $3. The Wave-4 low holds above the 0.786 Fibonacci support at $1.61246, never revisiting the $1 region. From this consolidation, the projected Wave 5 shoots higher from around the $2–$2.30 zone—where XRP is currently trading—toward the 1.272 extension at $8.29661. The “5” marker sits at this level, and the projection shows only a modest pullback after touching the band, implying that this area is treated as the probable cycle cap. Related Reading: XRP Hits Exact Bull Target as Top Traders Celebrate Perfect Market Call The Fibonacci grid also frames the current battle zone. XRP’s price is oscillating around the 0.888 level at $2.27404, which lines up almost exactly with the latest weekly close, while the prior wave-3 region around $3.317 remains the next major resistance band on the chart. Not everyone is convinced. “Could still go under 1.50. Still,” wrote another user. Charting Guy’s response was curt: “no.” That stance matches the technical layout: in his count, the $1.61 area has already printed the Wave-4 low, and the structure does not include another trip below that support. Others pushed for higher numbers. “Was hoping for $20+,” one follower admitted. “could happen,” the analyst replied—before clarifying to another user that “$20 is not on track but still entirely possible.” His published chart, however, draws no path beyond the $8.29 extension, underlining that mid-single-digit territory remains his primary target for this cycle. At press time, XRP traded at $2.20. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price is showing signs of recovery after crashing under $2 earlier last week due to broader market volatility and decline. With its renewed momentum, analysts are now sharing optimistic projections about its future trajectory. New reports from market expert, Egrag Crypto, highlight the reappearance of a crucial technical signal that could trigger a major trend reversal for XRP. Based on the formation of this signal, XRP may be positioning for an explosive price surge that contradicts the previous bearish developments. XRP Price Chart Forms Bullish EMA Cross Signal Egrag Crypto has described the cross between two key Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) as “the real signal.” In his X post shared on Monday, he presented an in-depth review of XRP’s 3-day chart, focusing on the interaction between the 50-day and 200-day EMA and predicting how this technical signal could impact the cryptocurrency’s future price action.  Related Reading: Attack On Cardano Founder Leads To Network Halt, What Really Happened? Egrag Crypto emphasized that many traders have interpreted the narrowing distance between these two key EMAs as the early stages of a bear market. However, his analysis shows that this interpretation does not match the XRP’s technical structure. For a genuine bearish cross to confirm a downward trend, XRP’s price would need to fall decisively below both EMAs as overall momentum begins to weaken. Currently, XRP sits above the 200 EMA, with the long-term trend line still rising, indicating underlying strength rather than a classic bear market setup. This suggests the cryptocurrency may be gradually building momentum to break out of its ongoing downtrend and move to higher levels.  Egrag Crypto’s chart shows that XRP’s present structure contrasts sharply with its 2018 setup. During that cycle, XRP’s price had collapsed long before the two EMAs crossed, implying that the bearish crossover signal was more of a confirmation than the cause of the weakness. Based on the chart analysis, XRP’s present market structure lacks the characteristics of this historical event, suggesting that the cryptocurrency may be holding firm at levels that could yield more bullish outcomes than before.  Where The XRP Price Is Headed  Continuing his analysis, Egrag Crypto explained that the latest XRP chart setup looks more like the structures seen before its historic bull rallies in 2017 and early 2021. During those bullish cycles, the 500/200 EMAs had tightened, and XRP had remained above the 200 EMA.  Related Reading: Will The Low XRP Price Force Ripple To Dump Its Holdings? Exec Answers Community Egrag Crypto noted that the market also entered a compression phase in both years, leading to sharp increases in volatility and explosive price surges. According to the analyst, each time XRP emerged from these conditions, it produced some of its most aggressive vertical moves.   Notably, XRP’s current price chart reflects similar patterns. Egrag Crypto has said the cryptocurrency may be experiencing “late-cycle consolidation” rather than the beginning of a prolonged downtrend. Compression phases of this type often indicate that momentum is building beneath the surface. Based on its structure, the analyst has predicted that the XRP price is likely to head toward its final upside leg rather than a completed top.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Teucrium Trading, Sal Gilbertie, has given a bold endorsement of Ripple and XRP, positioning the crypto payments company as a potential competitor to JPMorgan Chase. He described Ripple as a highly interconnected ecosystem that could scale globally once it acquires a banking license. As Ripple grows to challenge the largest bank in the US, it raises the question about how its rapidly expanding network could also rival legacy banking systems like SWIFT.   Ripple Positioned As New JPMorgan And SWIFT Rival Crypto enthusiast and XRP advocate Diana recently shared a striking interview between Paul Barron, founder of the Paul Barron Network, and Gilbertie. In the interview, the Teucrium Trading CEO shared his perspective on Ripple, showing full support for the crypto payment company’s growth and future potential.  Related Reading: Ripple CEO Predicts XRP Rush, What Does He Mean? He explained that Ripple is actively building a fully operational financial institution capable of rivaling traditional banking giants like JPMorgan. The crypto payments company has also frequently been described as a competitor to SWIFT, positioning itself as a faster and more efficient alternative for cross-border payments. Gilbertie stressed that once Ripple obtains a banking license, it would operate with the capitalization and operational discipline typically associated with top-tier banks. Notably, the crypto payments company has been seeking a US national banking charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish a new national trust bank. If authorized, Ripple could become one of the first crypto-native companies to obtain a US national bank license.   Moving forward, Gilbertie said during the interview that XRP lies at the heart of this growing banking ecosystem. He noted that Ripple has no intention of selling XRP, describing the cryptocurrency as a strategic asset whose value is intended to appreciate over time through its use across the XRPL ecosystem.  The Teucrium Trading CEO also called Ripple a “machine,” highlighting how the company operates in a disciplined, coordinated way, with its team growing and innovating while keeping the network strong and connected. Furthermore, he boldly claimed that Ripple is at the center of the universe, underscoring its pivotal role in potentially shaping the global banking landscape.  Gilbertie’s Validation Confirms XRP’s Role The interview between Gilbertie and Barron drew strong, supportive reactions from many members of the crypto community, who interpreted the Teucrium Trading CEO’s statement as validation of XRP’s evolving role in institutional finance. Observers noted that hearing a regulated TradFi CEO describe Ripple as a JPMorgan rival offered rare institutional recognition that went beyond the usual industry speculation.  Related Reading: Ripple Exec Addresses Tax Issue On XRP Ledger, Where Does It Go? They also pointed out that the timing of this endorsement coincides with the upcoming full enforcement of ISO 20022 standards and rising XRP ETF inflows. Diana, the XRP advocate who shared the interview, echoed this view, emphasizing that Gilbertie’s statements signal that infrastructure, compliance, and institutional interest are all aligning. She noted that price movements typically follow institutional and infrastructure rails, suggesting that XRP may be positioned for substantial growth once these rails are fully in place.

The viral claims suggesting that XRP has no connection to payments are quickly falling apart under a basic review of official documentation. As misinformation spreads across social platforms, the publicly available documentation continues to reinforce the asset’s real, payment-centric utility, contradicting the narrative gaining traction online. How Documentation Debunks The XRP Role Speculation In an X post, a researcher known as SMQKE has revealed that the narrative claim that XRP is just a cryptocurrency with no connection to traditional finance payments is sharply contradicted by the documentation that defines the asset. A surface-level review has already shown just how inaccurate that statement is. Related Reading: Something Big Coming For XRP? Ripple Engineer Reveals Major Development According to SMQKE, unlike many cryptocurrencies built purely for decentralized experimentation, XRP was designed to operate within the existing traditional finance system. The report highlights that XRP was intended to enhance international money transfers by serving as a neutral bridge between currencies and providing liquidity. Furthermore, the documentation also shows that XRP is a digital asset engineered specifically to address long-standing inefficiencies in the traditional payment system. The conversation around RippleNet isn’t about experiments. Crypto analyst Xfinancebull highlighted that more than 300 banks are not testing RippleNet; they are partnering with it. Brad Garlinghouse isn’t speaking in vague possibilities; instead, he is forecasting where XRP could capture up to 14% of current SWIFT volume by 2030, which is an estimated $21 trillion in annual value moving across the XRP Ledger infrastructure. His focus is not on the chart price movements. It’s about how global financial plumbing is being re-engineered in real-time. The idea centers on a system where banks could settle cross-border transactions instantly 24/7, with lower operational fees, all powered by XRP.  From this perspective, the transformation is being built. While the retail traders often react to every red candle, the institutions are entering partnerships and signing integrations. “You don’t buy XRP for today. You buy it for the financial world that is coming,” Xfinancebull noted. Major Capital Shifts From Observing To Building A recent move from Ripple has shifted conversations entirely. XFBAcademy has pointed out that banks didn’t raise $500 million to reshape the future of money, but Ripple did. Moves like this indicate exactly why the long-term outlook around XRP will continue to build strength. Meanwhile, real utility is finally being funded at the highest institutional levels. Related Reading: Ripple Exec Addresses Tax Issue On XRP Ledger, Where Does It Go? XFBAcademy explains that when names like Fortress, Citadel, Pantera, Brevan Howard, and Galaxy participate simultaneously, it’s not speculation, but a signal where infrastructure is heading. This raise isn’t fueled by speculative propaganda. Instead, it is tied to RLUSD, institutional rails, and the treasuries moving into on-chain.  This kind of capital doesn’t chase existing narratives but actively builds new ones. The expert frames moments like these as the real turning points. These are the junctures when the smartest money transitions from observation to funding the new plumbing of global finance.

With XRPZ debuting on NYSE Arca, Franklin becomes the latest financial heavyweight betting on crypto’s future in global payments.

XRP has endured a difficult stretch in recent days, falling below the $2 level after a sequence of heavy selling. Price volatility across Bitcoin and other major assets added fuel to the drop, dragging XRP to lows around $1.92 and shaking the short-term sentiment of many traders.  However, several XRP supporters are still of the notion that this move is far from a cause for concern. One of the most vocal is an analyst operating under the name @WillyWonkaXRP on the social media platform X, who insisted that the dip does not alter the long-term trajectory. From his perspective, the current environment is still laying the foundation for a far higher valuation due to institutional takeovers. Crash Below $2 Is Not A Problem The analyst’s evaluation is based on the outlook that XRP is transitioning into a more structurally mature phase, highlighted by regulation, banking partnerships, and expanding utility. He pointed to recent approvals that removed long-standing legal uncertainties and to the growth of Ripple’s enterprise network, which now boasts more than 300 banking partners in over 40 countries.  Related Reading: XRP Price Has Surged 15% Anytime This Metric Appeared In The Past The analyst also highlighted the rollout of Ripple’s Liquidity Hub, the expansion of the RLUSD stablecoin, and the rising expectations for additional Spot XRP ETFs. In his view, these developments show that large-scale institutional integration is happening quietly beneath the short-term market noise, making the recent dip to $1.92 insignificant relative to a longer-term path he believes stretches well beyond $20. Speaking of price action, the XRP price fell to as low as $1.88 on November 21, according to CoinGecko. The chart accompanying the analyst’s post illustrates a long multi-year structure in which XRP repeatedly formed broad accumulation ranges before breaking above resistance. The pattern displayed across years shows several failed attempts at the same horizontal ceiling before eventually giving way. The current price action now puts XRP retesting from above. The pullback to the region around $2 corresponds almost exactly with this retest zone, which shows that the price is returning to confirm support rather than a breakdown of the larger trend.  What Would It Take For XRP To Reach $20? An XRP price rally to $20 would require a combination of technical follow-through and continued institutional participation. With the current circulating supply hovering around 60 billion tokens, a clean run to $20 would lift XRP’s market capitalization to about US $1.2 trillion. Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Price Will Surge To $220 Due To ETFs, But Is This Possible? Technically, XRP would need to maintain its hold above $2.00, as this level now serves as the anchor for any long-term bullish trajectory. Fundamentally, increased ETF inflows, growth of RLUSD, and greater adoption of RippleNet by global financial institutions would strengthen demand for XRP and create the needed buying pressure. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.07, up by 2.4% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com

Traders should watch for potential breakdowns below $2.03, which could lead to further declines toward $1.91.

XRP’s decline in recent weeks has led to questions among holders who worry that Ripple may be pushed into selling more of its XRP reserves to maintain operations. This concern resurfaced as discussions around Ripple’s shifting business model gained traction, especially with the company’s RLUSD stablecoin.  The conversation was held on the social media platform X, where Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, stepped in to address whether a lower XRP price could force Ripple into additional token sales. Ripple CTO Says Falling Prices Do Not Increase Selling Pressure Schwartz’s comment came as a response after a user argued that Ripple might gradually shift its priorities away from XRP because RLUSD is tied directly to fiat reserves, unlike the cryptocurrency. The user’s argument is that this difference could leave Ripple less exposed to XRP’s price movements and more inclined to depend on the stablecoin during uncertain market periods.

Schwartz pushed back strongly against that line of reasoning. He made it clear that the assumption that falling prices increase the company’s need to offload XRP is misguided. He pointed out that Ripple’s broader revenue structure now allows the company to operate without relying on market conditions to stay afloat.  In his view, new income channels lessen the chances that Ripple would ever face a situation where it must sell XRP to sustain operations. Ripple Needs To Diversify Part of the tension around potential XRP sales comes from Ripple’s business model. The company has always earned a sizable portion of its income from controlled XRP sales, even though it also offered enterprise products such as cross-border payment solutions through RippleNet.  However, public reports from previous years showed that these software licensing fees and enterprise offerings brought in smaller revenue compared to the revenue gained through XRP sales. This is why there have been concerns that heavy selling during market dips could weigh on XRP’s price.

This mechanism was originally designed to bring predictability to XRP’s circulating supply and prevent sudden large inflows into the market.  Ripple typically returns most of the unlocked XRP (70% to 80%) back into escrow each month, releasing only a small amount for operational purposes. This structure limits the potential impact Ripple can have on market liquidity at any given time. However, the company currently depends much on XRP sales, and there is a pressing need to look for more sources of income. Schwartz’s comments show that Ripple is not positioned in a way that requires dumping XRP, even as the token trades near recent lows. Featured image created with Pxfuel, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin and major altcoins bounced Sunday after an oversold RSI reading and more than $200M in liquidations signaled seller exhaustion amid thin weekend liquidity.

A crypto pundit has ignited discussion about the long-term outlook of the XRP price after arguing that a surge to a $1,000 target is not a dream but a realistic goal supported by market math. The analyst believes that XRP’s future depends on measurable utility rather than market hype, positioning the cryptocurrency as an asset built for deep financial integration, which could fuel a prolonged upward rally.  Why A $1,000 XRP Price Is Not A Dream Pseudonymous crypto analyst 24HRSCRYPTO predicted on X this Friday that XRP could climb from its current price of above $1.9 to $1,000. He described the path to this ambitious target as a matter of scaling rather than a dream. He also framed it as a math-based outcome, essentially driven by XRP’s foundational role as a global payments currency.  Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Price Will Surge To $220 Due To ETFs, But Is This Possible? The analyst noted that XRP’s upside potential is more closely tied to real financial infrastructure than to short-lived speculation-driven appreciation. He emphasized that investors often overlook the role of utility, global settlement demands, and deep liquidity, which he believes are the backbone of XRP’s trajectory. These factors set XRP apart from other cryptocurrencies that mainly depend on traders buying at consistently rising prices.  24HRSCRYPTO uses a simple comparison to illustrate the difference that drives cryptocurrency prices. In his view, the Bitcoin price reaches new all-time highs primarily through speculation, while XRP grows through real financial activity supported by its innovative technology. According to the analyst, this disparity is why he believes patience and consistency matter more than hype cycles.  The analyst also insists that XRP’s design positions it for long-term use in financial infrastructure where trillions of dollars flow, creating steady demand. He explained that even a modest investment of $5,000 held with discipline until 2030 can grow when supported by real value. This bullish scenario puts a $100 target for XRP within reach as global settlement usage increases. The same logic also supports the analyst’s bold $1,000 price projection.  XRP Technical Analysis Signals Growing Strength  The XRP price has been dragged down amid the broader market slump, recently crashing to new lows below $2. Despite the altcoin’s weak price action, analysts still hold out hope for a potential market shift to the upside.  Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Will Flip Bitcoin As These Developments Play Out In a recent technical analysis, crypto market expert Rose Premium Signals notes that XRP has tapped the same demand zone for the third time, creating a strong triple bottom on the weekly timeframe. The analyst’s chart shows that each time the price returns to the $1.8 to $1.9 demand zone, it triggers strong buying. This repeated pattern confirms the formation of a triple bottom, which she considers a classic high-timeframe reversal signal.  The chart also reveals that XRP’s recent downtrend has been controlled and met by a well-defended support level. Rose Premium Signals emphasized that each bounce from this support area has triggered progressively stronger reactions. If momentum is confirmed, she predicts that XRP could surge above $3 in the mid-term. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com

Analysts note that the XRP price is showing unusual resilience, as a key metric previously seen before short-term rebounds reappears on its chart. In a new technical analysis, crypto market expert Dom points out that the latest market setup mirrors conditions that have led to at least a 10% surge each time this pattern emerges.    Recurring Metric Signals 10% XRP Price Surge In an X post released while XRP was still trading around $2.19, Dom highlighted a familiar technical signal, noting that past appearances of a bid-skew metric on the chart have consistently led to sharp price recoveries. As a reflection of its previous stability, the analyst stated the XRP had displayed incredible strength over the last several days, trading above the $2 level.  Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Price Will Surge To $220 Due To ETFs, But Is This Possible? Even as the Bitcoin price plummeted by more than $15,000 in the past few days, the analyst pointed out that XRP had maintained its local low from November 5. The accompanying chart highlights this divergence between XRP and BTC, where the altcoin’s structure holds its range despite the widespread market downturn.  Historically, when XRP has shown such strength during periods of Bitcoin weakness, Dom notes that it has signaled countless price reversals. The analyst further highlighted that over the past three months, every time the recurring bid-skew pattern appeared, XRP followed with an upswing of at least 10%.  If the historical metric holds, Dom’s analysis suggests there could be a continuation of XRP’s recent resilience, potentially driving its price up by 10% to at least $2.09. At the time of the analyst’s post, this target may have been higher, since XRP was still trading above $2. However, the cryptocurrency has since fallen below that threshold, reaching $1.9 at the time of writing.  XRP CVD Data Reveals Controlled Selling Pressure In a subsequent update, Dom shared a second chart, showing that XRP’s price had declined from its previous level of $2.19 to $2.01. He highlighted that this negative price action serves as a reminder that market dynamics don’t always follow textbook patterns. The recent decline in XRP also falls into roughly 15% of cases where typical orderbook signals fail to predict short-term moves.  Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Needs To Be To Flip Bitcoin In the Binance spot market, Dom points out evidence of “controlled” selling rather than forced liquidations. Unlike earlier periods where strong bids consistently led to upward price momentum, XRP’s Spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) curves on Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, and other exchanges are sloping downwards. Moreover, among all the crypto exchanges, Binance has recorded the most decline.  Dom notes that controlled selling can be seen clearly in the smoothed cumulative volume lines on the chart. He warns that these developments are tricky to time. Moreover, without a sudden climax or sharp liquidation, bottoming could form slowly, making entries based on traditional reversal signals more challenging.
