THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

An analyst has pointed out how XRP and three other altcoins look like they share a similar technical analysis (TA) fate. Here’s what could be in store for these assets. TA Patterns Are Pointing At Same Outcome For Four Altcoins In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has pointed out a commonality that may be present among XRP (XRP), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and yearn.finance (YFI). Related Reading: Bitcoin Weekly Preview: Tariffs, Whales, And Volatility Ahead The similarity lies in the signal that TA is giving on the price charts of each of these altcoins. Here are the graphs the analyst shared, showing the patterns: The first chart (top left) highlights the trend in the 1-day price of XRP, the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market cap. It would appear that the asset has possibly been forming what’s known as a head-and-shoulders pattern. This pattern forms when an asset’s price shows three peaks following a sharp surge, with the inner and outer peaks being similar in scale (the shoulders), and the middle one the largest (the head). The formation also involves one other feature: a support trendline that facilitates the formation of the different peaks. From the graph, it’s apparent that XRP is currently retesting this support line, after forming its third peak (the right shoulder). The head-and-shoulders generally signal a reversal of trend, so it’s possible that the coin may end up failing this retest and a sharp plunge would follow next. Bitcoin Cash, the bottom right chart, is also making a retest of what could be an important support line. In this case, the trendline is the lower one of a symmetrical triangle. The symmetrical triangle occurs when an asset finds itself consolidating between two trendlines that converge at a roughly equal and opposite slope. This means that as the price travels inside the channel, the distance between its tops and bottoms progressively becomes narrower. The upper channel provides resistance and the lower one provides support, but as the consolidation gets very narrow (that is, the price approaches the apex of the triangle), a breakout can become likely. Recently, Bitcoin Cash has come quite close to the triangle’s end, so it’s possible that an escape may be happening soon. As BCH is retesting the lower trendline right now, it’s possible that this break could happen towards the downside. Such a breakout, if one happens, could be a bearish signal for the coin, just like the one for XRP. Related Reading: Could XRP Actually Reach $10,000? Expert Weighs In The other two altcoins, Ethereum Classic (top right) and yearn.finance (bottom left), are both near the bottom line of a parallel channel. In this pattern, consolidation occurs between two parallel trendlines. It’s possible that support might end up holding for these coins, just like it has in the past, but given the fact that they have been trading inside the channel for a couple of years now and that a shift toward a bearish mood has taken place in the sector, a breakout to the downside may be coming. It now remains to be seen if XRP and the other altcoins will end up following in the trajectory that TA has been hinting at or not. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $2.06, down over 16% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, charts from TradingView.com

XRP’s multi-month uptrend may be approaching a critical inflection point, according to technical analyst Josh Olszewicz, known online as @CarpeNoctom. In a chart published on X, Olszewicz highlighted a well-defined bearish reversal pattern, warning that a breakdown could trigger significant downside movement. “I’d be shocked if this actually breaks higher,” the analyst wrote, adding in a livestream that the structure “continues to be the only thing I care about on this chart.” Could This Be The End Of The XRP Bull Cycle? His central thesis is built on a classic head and shoulders pattern, a formation widely recognized by traders as a precursor to a major trend reversal. The chart, based on the XRP/USD daily timeframe, reveals a symmetrical triple-peak structure that fits the textbook definition of a head and shoulders pattern. The left shoulder formed between early and mid-December 2024, topping out near the $2.90 level. This was followed by a higher high in mid-January 2025, when XRP briefly surged to approximately $3.40, forming the head. Subsequently, the right shoulder developed throughout mid-February and March 2025 with a lower high, around the $3.00 region. Related Reading: XRP Price Fate Hangs on $2.00—Major Move Incoming? The neckline — a critical horizontal support level that connects the swing lows between the shoulders — is drawn precisely at the $2.00 mark. This level is not only a psychological round number but also structurally significant, having acted as support multiple times since December last year. Overlaying the pattern is the Ichimoku Cloud indicator. The Ichimoku metrics currently reinforce the bearish outlook. XRP is trading beneath both the Tenkan-sen (conversion line) at $2.2462 and the Kijun-sen (base line) at $2.4528 — both of which are flatlining, indicating a loss of upward momentum. The Senkou Span A (leading span A), currently at $2.4836, and Senkou Span B at $1.9460 form a cloud that is thick, flat, and bearish. Price action is consolidating within the cloud, but the cloud ahead turns red, forecasting resistance and trend weakness in the sessions to come. Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes 20% Move With Golden Pocket Appearance Olszewicz stated unequivocally in his livestream that if the pattern confirms with a breakdown, “you’d be expecting $1.13 to $1.40” as a measured move target. This range represents the potential depth of the head and shoulders formation — calculated by subtracting the height from the head ($3.40) to the neckline ($2.10), which gives approximately $1.30 of projected downside. When subtracted from the neckline level, this yields targets between $1.10 and $1.40, depending on volatility and order book depth. He added, “There is not an impossibility that this just rolls over the entirety of the move. Now that would be end-of-cycle stuff. That would be a bearish legacy, bearish everything — right? But that is in the cards here. You can’t say it’s not until we’re back above $2.85.” With that, Olszewicz clearly defined $2.85 as the invalidation level for this bearish thesis. Notably, this level marks the last significant lower high before price began to roll over — and it coincides with the top of the right shoulder. A close above that point would invalidate the head and shoulders formation and likely suggest a continuation of the bullish cycle. Until then, however, the risk remains tilted to the downside. At press time, XRP traded at $2.07. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price is gearing up for another bullish move upward, as a crypto analyst has predicted a 20% surge in the near future. This optimistic forecast is backed by the formation of a key technical pattern called the Golden Pocket and indicators including strong support levels and a critical resistance zone.   Golden Pocket Signals XRP Price Surge According to TradingView analyst TehThomas, the XRP price is currently trading within a well-defined Ascending Channel, setting the stage for a potential 20% move upwards. In the 4-hour time frame, XRP has continued to respect this Ascending Channel, forming higher highs and higher lows — a key indicator of a sustained uptrend. Related Reading: XRP Price Face Major Resistance At $2.9, Why This Analyst Believes $20 Is Still Possible Interestingly, the most notable development in XRP’s price action is the appearance of a Golden Pocket on its chart. A Golden Pocket is a key Fibonacci retracement area that is often used to identify potential support and resistance levels. It represents a complete trend reversal for a cryptocurrency and a possibility of an aggressive uptrend. The TradingView analyst has revealed that XRP’s current Golden Pocket aligns with an imbalance zone, an area of unfilled liquidity where prices typically revisit before resuming movement.  In the chart, XRP’s Golden Pocket sits between the 0.618 – 0.65 Fibonacci retracement level — a well-known area where the price usually finds strong support before continuing the trend. Historically, XRP has reacted twice from this key level, indicating that buyers have been actively defending this area.  TehThomas has predicted that as long as the XRP price can hold above the key Fibonacci retracement level, which also acts as a critical resistance, the cryptocurrency’s bullish structure will remain unchanged. Additionally, XRP could be primed for a massive rally toward the 0.618 Fibonacci extension level, which corresponds with the upper boundary of the Ascending Channel.  If this bullish momentum continues, it means that the analyst expects the XRP price to see a rally to a target between the $2.8 to – $2.9 range. This represents a 29% price increase from XRP’s current price of $2.2.  Short-Term Resistance Could Trigger Decline TehThomas’s bullish outlook for the XRP price, the TradingView analyst noted that the 1-hour time frame presents short-term resistance, which could lead to a significant pullback before the next leg up. XRP recently faced a rejection at the imbalance zone, indicating that sellers are increasing activity at this level.  Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Loses Over $3 Billion In 3 Months Amid Market Turmoil Previously, when the price struggled to break the imbalance zone, it highlighted a lack of liquidity to sustain a continued uptrend. A repeat of this could result in a retracement toward the Golden Pocket in the 4-hour timeframe.  Notably, a confirmed breakout from the 1-hour imbalance timeframe could reinforce XRP’s bullish momentum, supporting its projected move toward upper levels of the Ascending Channel. However, a failure could shift this bullish structure, leading to a deeper correction toward lower support levels. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP is facing a pivotal moment after failing to test the $2.60 resistance level, with price action now leaning toward critical demand. The token continues to trade sideways in a wide range, reflecting growing uncertainty as the broader crypto market faces renewed selling pressure. Despite a strong performance in recent weeks, bulls are struggling to maintain momentum, and the inability to push higher has left XRP vulnerable to further consolidation or downside. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Has Surged 36% In Two Weeks – Is Momentum Building? The market’s overall risk-off sentiment is making it difficult for altcoins like XRP to establish a clear direction. Investors remain cautious, and bulls must now defend key support zones to avoid triggering a deeper correction. XRP is approaching a critical demand area that could determine its short-term trajectory. Crypto analyst, Ali Martinez, shared insights on X, pointing to a potential bullish scenario if XRP can break above the $3 mark. According to Martinez, such a move would invalidate the current head-and-shoulders pattern forming on the chart, effectively flipping the outlook in favor of the bulls. XRP Faces Key Breakout Test Amid Market Uncertainty XRP is approaching a critical point in its price structure, where a breakout above key levels could trigger a major uptrend. However, investors remain cautious, with many worried that the current setup may be a bull trap — especially given the unstable macro environment. Since late January, financial markets have faced growing turbulence, fueled by trade war fears and erratic policy behavior from U.S. President Donald Trump. This uncertainty has weighed heavily on risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, and continues to prevent clear trend formation across the board. XRP’s price action reflects this broader market indecision. While the token has shown resilience, it remains locked in a wide range, unable to build sustained bullish momentum. The recent failure to break above the $2.60 resistance level has added to investor concern, as selling pressure appears to be creeping back into the market. Martinez weighed in on the situation, highlighting a technical level that could define XRP’s short-term trajectory. According to Martinez, if XRP can break above the $3 mark, it would invalidate the current head-and-shoulders pattern forming on the chart — a pattern typically associated with trend reversals. Such a move would flip the market outlook bullish and open the door for a major rally. Until that breakout occurs, however, the head-and-shoulders structure remains in play, and downside risks cannot be ignored. Investors are watching closely as XRP trades near critical support and resistance levels, knowing that the next breakout or breakdown could shape its direction for weeks to come. For now, XRP remains caught in a tight battle between bearish pressure and bullish potential. Related Reading: Avalanche 12-Hour TD Sequential Flashes Sell Signal After Nailing 50% Rally – Details Bulls Defend Key Support at $2.20 XRP is currently trading at $2.22 after losing the critical $2.40 level, which aligns with both the 4-hour 200 moving average (MA) and the exponential moving average (EMA). This breakdown has weakened short-term momentum, placing bulls in a defensive position as selling pressure begins to build. The $2.20 level now stands as a key support zone that must be defended to avoid a deeper correction. To regain strength and shift momentum back in favor of the bulls, XRP must reclaim the $2.35 level in the coming sessions. A move above this resistance zone would indicate renewed buying interest and potentially trigger a push back toward the $2.60 range. Until then, price action remains fragile, with investors watching closely for confirmation. Related Reading: Solana Tags Upper Bollinger Band For First Time Since ATH — Is Momentum Returning? However, if XRP fails to hold above $2.20, the market could see a sharp drop toward the $2.00 mark — a psychological and structural support level that has held in previous corrections. Such a move would likely confirm bearish dominance in the short term and further delay any potential breakout. As volatility continues to build, the next few hours could be crucial for XRP’s short-term trend direction. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView 

Popular analyst Peter Brandt has provided a bearish outlook for the XRP price, predicting that the altcoin could drop below the $2 support. As part of his analysis, he highlighted a head-and-shoulders pattern that could spark the breakdown below $2.  Peter Brandt Identifies XRP Head And Shoulders Pattern In an X post, Brandt revealed that XRP is forming a textbook head-and-shoulders pattern, which has caused the altcoin to range-bound. He added that the head-and-shoulders pattern projects a price decline to as low as $1.07. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that XRP could witness a freefall to this target if it loses the $1.9 support.  Related Reading: Analyst Unveils Extended XRP Price Target To $44, Reveals When To Take Profits Crypto analyst CasiTrades had also recently raised the possibility of XRP dropping to as low as $1.54. She revealed that a break below the $2.25 support and lower support at $1.90 could lead to this breakdown to $1.54. However, the analyst suggested that the probability of this happening was really low, as the $2.25 support is holding really strongly.  Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ali Martinez also discussed the head-and-shoulders pattern that had formed for the XRP price. In an X post, he stated that if XRP can break above $3, it would invalidate the current head-and-shoulders pattern, a development that could flip the altcoin’s outlook to bullish. In his analysis, Brandt had also hinted that a rally above $3 could invalidate the bearish pattern.  Martinez’s accompanying chart showed that XRP could drop to as low as $1.25 if this head-and-shoulders pattern plays out. In another post, he again raised the possibility of XRP suffering this price breakdown, while stating that the $2 price level remains the critical support level for the crypto.  Bullish Outlook For The Altcoin In an X post, crypto analyst Dark Defender provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price, predicting it could reach as high as $23.20. The analyst claimed that the third wave targets a rally of between $5.85 and $8.076. Meanwhile, the fifth wave is expected to finish the move between $18.22 and $23.20.  Related Reading: This Crypto Analyst Correctly Predicted XRP Price Crash Below $2, Here’s The Rest Of The Forecast This prediction came as part of Dark Defender’s analysis of the 3-month candle. He affirmed that XRP boasts a clear bullish momentum on this higher timeframe. He added that there are ups and downs in smaller time frames, but the higher frames supersedes the smaller ones.  In another post, the analyst assured XRP’s consolidation will be over soon. He revealed that the altcoin has formed a great bullish rectangle pattern and that the next leg up will send it to new all-time highs (ATHs).  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.25, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP is trading above key support levels after several days of intense volatility driven by macroeconomic concerns and mounting trade war fears. Since March 11, XRP has jumped more than 35%, showing signs of renewed strength as bulls attempt to reclaim higher price levels and ignite a fresh rally. The move comes at a time when broader altcoin sentiment remains fragile, with no clear direction for the market in the weeks ahead. Related Reading: Ethereum Reclaims Realized Price – Bulls Face Strong Resistance At $2,300 Despite the uncertain landscape, XRP’s recent price action has caught the attention of traders and analysts alike. One of the more notable developments is the sharp rise in capital flowing into XRP futures. According to on-chain data from Glassnode, total capital allocated to XRP futures contracts has surged 36% in just two weeks. This increase in open interest points to rising trader confidence and suggests that many are positioning for more upside. Still, macro headwinds and technical resistance levels pose challenges. For XRP to maintain momentum, bulls must hold current levels and continue pushing toward key breakouts. With volatility likely to remain high, all eyes are on XRP’s next move as market pressure continues to mount. XRP Bulls Eye Breakout Amid Market Uncertainty XRP is at a pivotal moment, with price action showing early signs of strength that could lead to a major breakout — if bulls manage to reclaim key levels. After a 35% surge since March 11, the token now faces strong resistance zones that could either trigger a powerful rally or confirm investor fears of a bull trap. The broader market context only adds to the uncertainty. Since late January, financial markets — including crypto — have been shaken by growing trade war concerns and erratic policy signals from U.S. President Donald Trump. This instability has made traders more cautious, with many questioning whether current altcoin gains can be sustained. Selling pressure remains a threat, and failure to hold support levels could quickly reverse recent progress. Despite these concerns, XRP’s on-chain and derivatives data suggest that bullish momentum is building. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared on X that the total capital allocated to XRP futures contracts has surged 36% in just two weeks, rising from $2.12 billion to $2.89 billion. This spike in open interest reflects increased confidence from traders and suggests that many are positioning for further upside. However, confirmation is still needed. XRP must reclaim critical resistance zones and sustain its gains to avoid a deeper pullback. Related Reading: Solana Tags Upper Bollinger Band For First Time Since ATH — Is Momentum Returning? Bulls Defend Key Support At $2.25 XRP is currently trading at $2.35 after several days of failed attempts to break above the $2.60 resistance level. This price zone has proven difficult to overcome, with repeated rejections keeping the bullish momentum in check. For XRP to initiate a strong upward move, bulls must reclaim $2.60 with conviction — a breakout that could trigger a surge toward the upper boundary of its current range. On the higher timeframe, XRP remains locked in a clear weekly range between the $2 support level and the $3.40 resistance. This range has defined price action for weeks, and traders are closely watching for a breakout in either direction. The $2.60 level sits just below the mid-range, making it a critical point for bulls to reclaim in order to gain control of the trend. Related Reading: Ethereum Accumulation Is Almost Over – Breakout Above $2,200 Could Trigger Expansion Phase However, if bulls fail to hold the $2.25 support zone, a move back toward the bottom of the range is likely. A breakdown below $2.25 could open the door for a retest of the $2 level — a key psychological and structural support. Until then, XRP’s next major move hinges on whether buyers can push past resistance or fold under renewed selling pressure. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView 

In an update posted via X, veteran market analyst Peter Brandt shared a striking technical outlook for XRP/USDT, identifying a classic Head & Shoulders (H&S) formation in the daily chart that points to a possible retracement toward the $1.07 region. Brandt’s chart tracks XRP daily bars from mid‐October through late March on Binance. The XRP surged from below $0.50 in late October to above $1.00 in mid‐November. After forming a bull flag, the asset continued aggressively higher, building a local top around $2.90 in early December before starting the last leg up as high as $3.40 in mid-January. The 8‐day (C,8) and 18‐day (C,18) moving averages—shown in orange and black, respectively—now hover around the $2.44 mark, where the price is currently sitting. XRP Could Crash If This Happens Two notable horizontal levels frame the current trading zone. First is the $1.90 floor, which serves as the approximate neckline for the H&S pattern and has repeatedly acted as support. Second is the $2.90–$2.99 ceiling, a clear horizontal resistance band where XRP has struggled to sustain upward momentum. Brandt states that a decisive break below $1.90 “would not be ideal for longs,” while any upside breach above $3.00 could force short sellers to reconsider their positions. On the chart, the left shoulder formed near the $2.90 handle, followed by a higher peak at $3.40, creating the “head.” Subsequently, the right shoulder emerged closer to the $3.00 zone. The neckline sits around $1.90. If XRP breaks below that neckline with sufficient volume, Brandt’s measured‐move target suggests a decline to approximately $1.07. He labels this price objective with a red arrow, signaling the potential downside risk inherent in classical H&S patterns. Brandt’s 8‐day and 18‐day moving averages converge around $2.44, indicating muted momentum at current levels. The 30‐day Average True Range (ATR) measures near $0.205, implying that daily price swings have compressed compared to the explosive action seen during XRP’s ascent from late 2024 through early 2025. Still, a break beyond $3.00 or below $1.90 could spark a renewed surge in volatility. Brandt emphasizes his lack of a personal stake in XRP, explaining that he is merely relaying what he views as a “textbook” bearish pattern: “I have no vested interest up or down. XRP is forming a textbook H&S pattern. So, we are now range bound. Above $3.000 I would not want to be short. Be”low $1.9 I would not want to own it. H&S projects to $1.07. Don’t shoot the messenger. At press time, XRP traded at $2.35. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Egrag Crypto, a prominent crypto market analyst on X (formerly Twitter), has unveiled new bullish projections for the XRP price, with an ambitious extended target of $44. The price forecast has sparked excitement among investors, especially as the analyst reveals the ideal time to take profits.  XRP Price Next Bullish Targets Unveiled On March 25, Egrag Crypto shared an XRP price analysis, revealing several measured bullish targets for the cryptocurrency. The analyst predicted that his extended or long-term price target for XRP was $44, representing a massive 1,688% increase from its present market value.  Related Reading: XRP Price Ready To Bounce Back Above $3 If Bulls Can Hold This Level Egrag Crypto’s future price projections for XRP highlight a conservative target of $15, a normal measurement of $22, a personal target of $27, and an extended measurement of $44. While the extended bullish target represents the most ambitious scenario, considering XRP is still trading under $3, the analyst suggests that the cryptocurrency could first reach these intermediate levels before making a push toward $44. Notably, the analyst has shared a chart, highlighting XRP’s support and resistance levels, and historic trendlines. The upward blue trendline represents a long-term rising support level at $1.99. Additionally, the white and black horizontal lines in the chart show that the XRP price recently broke above a key resistance zone, further reinforcing its bullish position.  Egrag Crypto also cites XRP’s historical price action and trend lines as support for his projected bullish targets. The yellow arrow in the chart shows that in 2018, the cryptocurrency experienced a major price surge to its current ATH of $3.84. As highlighted by the blue arrow, another major price spike occurred in the last bull run in 2021. Following this bull market trend, XRP is expected to rally again before the end of the bull cycle in Q4 2025. While this projected surge to $44 may seem rather ambitious, XRP has historically demonstrated the potential for exponential growth during bull cycles. Just this year, the cryptocurrency had surpassed expectations, jumping from $0.5 to $3 for the first time in almost 7 years.  When Traders Can Take Profits While the extended bullish measurement of $44 is an optimistic scenario for the XRP price, Egrag Crypto has advised investors to be strategic with their profit-taking approach. The analyst suggests that traders can consider securing profits as prices gradually go up rather than waiting for the highest possible price, which can be unpredictable. This strategy prioritizes risk management, guaranteeing some returns even if the price of the cryptocurrency later drops.  Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge Egrag Crypto’s XRP price chart shows that during the last rally, the analyst took profits early at $2.42 instead of waiting for a price peak. This time, he has identified the price point between $5 and $9 as a key zone where traders can start taking profits before XRP reaches its first conservative target of $15.

The XRP price has been consolidating for an extended period after its previous rally. However, a crypto analyst warns that the cryptocurrency could face a flash crash in April, potentially driving its price to new lows. Despite this, the analyst anticipated that the downturn may be short-lived, predicting a rebound shortly after.  MetaShackle, a crypto analyst on TradingView, has shared a chart presenting an Elliott Wave-based analysis of XRP’s price movements. The analyst has also used technical levels such as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), liquidity zones, and trendlines to determine XRP’s next price action. XRP Price False Breakout Ahead Of Flash Crash According to MetaShackle’s analysis, XRP may be heading for a false breakout in the coming weeks, followed by a sudden flash crash that could liquidate overleveraged traders. While this deep correction could shake out weak hands, the analyst also outlines a path for a massive rally later in the Second Quarter (Q2) of 2025, potentially pushing XRP to a new all-time high.  Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge The XRP price chart follows an advanced 6-wave pattern, with a potential 7th-wave breakout. XRP is currently in Wave 4 of a larger cycle. While Waves 1 to 3 represented a strong upward move, Wave 4 triggered a major correction for the XRP price. If Wave 4 is completed, the cryptocurrency’s price could push higher into Wave 5, reaching $2.80 – $3.00, where an FVG awaits. This move would create a false breakout, taking out liquidity above recent highs.  After the projected false breakout, XRP is expected to experience a flash crash in Wave 6 by April 2025. This flash crash will likely hold above the lower white trendline after breaking the upper trendline and targeting the green target area between $1.6 and $1.4 $highlighted by the chart.  The flash crash in April is a theoretical move in which the XRP price retraces sharply before a real breakout. This breakout is expected to start in Wave 7, potentially leading to a price discovery for XRP and reaching a likely target of $3.00 before skyrocketing to new highs above $3.6. Notably, the analyst predicts that Wave 7 will begin in May 2025. The breakout is anticipated to take out previous all-time highs for the altcoin, surpassing its $3.84 price record in 2018. Update On Price Analysis The XRP price is now trading at $2.44 after increasing by 4.56% in the past week. Despite a sharp price crash from its $3.00 high earlier this year, the cryptocurrency remains resilient, and analysts are closely watching its next move.  Related Reading: XRP Threatens Death Cross On 4-Hour Chart, Is Another Crash Coming? Notably, analysts continue to take a bullish stance on the XRP price outlook, predicting a potential breakout in the short term. An X (formerly Twitter) market expert, identified as ‘Steph Is Crypto,’ forecasts that the asset could surge to $3.4 soon, marking a 39.34% jump from its market price.

The XRP price is showing signs of a potential breakout, with a crypto analyst pointing to key technical indicators that suggest a potential surge to $4. Notably, the cryptocurrency has been trading within a descending trendline, but a decisive move above this resistance could ignite a long-awaited rally to a new all-time high. XRP Price Eyes Breakout To $4 According to pseudonymous TradingView crypto analyst ONE1iMPACT, the XRP price has been making lower highs, forming a descending trendline on the 8-hour chart. The analyst’s chart analysis highlights key technical indicators based on price action that suggest that the XRP price may be gearing up for a possible rally to $4. Related Reading: XRP Price Face Major Resistance At $2.9, Why This Analyst Believes $20 Is Still Possible XRP’s projected surge to a $4 ATH is dependent on how it reacts to the descending trendline, which acts as a critical resistance area. With this in mind, a breakout and close above this trendline with higher-than-average volume signals bullish momentum for the XRP price. Interestingly, the analyst disclosed that the market is currently hovering near or just below a key Moving Average (MA), indicated by the blue line in the chart. If XRP’s price can reclaim and hold above this MA, it would reinforce its bullish position and solidify the analyst’s optimistic price target. On the flip side, if it remains below this MA, the TradingView expert believes that it would put a barrier to its upside potential.  Moving forward, the analyst has shared key technical areas that could determine XRP’s next price movements. He revealed that if the cryptocurrency breaks above the descending trendline, the next major resistance area is the horizontal level around $3.40. Furthermore, a confirmed breakout could send its price toward $3.9 – $4.00, aligning with the target shown by the grey arrow in the chart.  The TradingView crypto expert warned investors and traders to pay attention to the volume and momentum of XRP as it aims for a descending trendline breakout. He explained that a low volume push above the trendline is a clear indication of a possible fakeout, where traders could be lured into entering long positions, only for the price to trace quickly. On the other hand, a high volume surge confirms the conviction of XRP’s bullish potential, leading to a sustained upward momentum and increasing prices.  The analyst also added that oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) could help traders gauge whether XRP’s momentum is building or fading as its price approaches the descending trendline resistance.  Possible Downside Target If Resistance Fails In his analysis, ‘ONE1iMPACT’ also shared a bearish outlook for the XRP price if it fails to break and close above the descending trendline resistance. The TradingView analyst revealed that a rejection at this trendline could trigger further consolidation and decline for XRP.  Related Reading: XRP Price Retraces Gains From Sunday Rally, This Important Support Level Could Be The Defining Factor He has shared several important support levels that could help prevent an even deeper correction in the XRP price. The $2.0 and $2.1 region, marked by the pink and gray box on the chart, acts as a strong support area for XRP, where buyers have stepped in before.  If the XRP price loses this zone, the analyst predicts a major breakdown toward $1.8 – $1.77. Another decline below this price low could result in a much larger correction. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

A crypto analyst has predicted that the XRP price could hit $27 soon. He describes the cryptocurrency’s current price action as a “ Bermuda Triangle or boredom phase” — a period where the market moves slowly or sideways, fuelling doubt and uncertainty among traders and investors before a price rally.  XRP Price Boredom Phase To Trigger $27 Surge Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has warned that the XRP price is in a Bermuda Triangle, a boredom phase characterized by price stagnation and market uncertainty designed to shake out weak hands before a significant price move. According to his prediction, while traders and investors are growing impatient and questioning why XRP has not experienced any notable price increases, this phase is merely a set-up for a strong rally toward $27. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Reignites $100 XRP Price Target, What You Should Know Following a predicted downturn in mid-March, XRP has struggled to recover its bullish momentum. The cryptocurrency was one of the top-performing altcoins in this bull cycle, jumping from a $0.5 low to over $3 for the first time in seven years. Due to the current market decline, Egrag Crypto revealed that many traders are now wondering why “XRP hasn’t mooned.” The analyst explained that this price decline was intentional, forcing investors to second-guess themselves and make emotional trading decisions.  He also disclosed that the XRP market is now filled with ‘What ifs’, as Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) cloud traders’ minds. Moreover, concerns over potential dips to $1.60 or $1.30 could push investors to panic-sell or attempt risky trades.  The analyst also revealed that the XRP market is currently controlled by sharks and larger players, also called Whales. These large holders tend to influence price movements, triggering stop-losses and shaking out weak hands before a major rally.  Egrag Crypto warns that new investors and traders are especially vulnerable, as frustration and boredom can lead to making financial mistakes. He disclosed that the best strategy to implement during this current market phase is to do nothing. He suggested investors stay disciplined and patient, recognizing that boredom phases are normal in crypto market cycles.  The analyst also urged investors to remain vigilant and hold their positions while accumulating at ideal prices rather than react impulsively to rapid changes in the market.  XRP Breakout Point Hints At New ATH In other analyses, market expert ‘Steph Is Crypto’ has announced that XRP is currently retesting breakout levels to trigger a surge to a fresh ATH. The analyst’s price chart shows a Falling Wedge pattern which has been broken above the resistance at the upper trend line.  Related Reading: XRP Threatens Death Cross On 4-Hour Chart, Is Another Crash Coming? After breaking out, XRP now retests this level to confirm a larger upward move. The large green arrow on the chart points to the cryptocurrency’s projected price target, suggesting a bullish continuation if the Falling Wedge breakout holds.  XRP’s upside potential is predicted to be $4 or higher if its bullish momentum is maintained. As of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.4, reflecting a 3.5% decline in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. If its price rises to $4, it would represent a significant 66.7% increase from current levels. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com

The XRP price has failed to shoot up dramatically in the wake of Ripple’s victory against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). After the SEC officially dropped its appeal against Ripple, many market participants expected a new all-time high. Instead, XRP climbed only by 13% as far as $2.60 before retreating to around $2.40, perplexing investors who had anticipated a sharper rally. Why Is XRP Not Skyrocketing? According to Johnny Krypto, co-founder of Merlin, the lack of a massive spike in XRP’s price should not come as a shock. He draws a parallel with historical events in both crypto and mainstream markets, emphasizing that anticipatory trading often leads to muted responses when the official news finally arrives. “When Trump won, there was no logical reason for XRP’s price to jump, but the market was pricing in that the lawsuit would be dropped,” Johnny explains. “That’s why we saw the big pump back then.” Related Reading: How High Can XRP Price Go After The Ripple Victory? He points out that the run-up from $0.50 to $2.50 last November reflected traders betting on a favorable outcome to Ripple’s legal troubles. Now that the outcome is certain, the market is responding more with a whimper than a bang. “If the SEC had maintained the appeal, XRP’s price would have likely plummeted instead of staying stable,” he adds, noting that the absence of a negative development has effectively kept XRP from falling rather than propelled it to new highs. Crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) stated on X that a wave of anxiety is rippling through the XRP community. He argues that many investors are simply uneasy about the current price stagnation and the market’s slower pace compared to previous cycles: “Right now, almost everyone seems to be panicking. Even with all my positive charts, some people are still worried. My DM is filled with anxious questions like, ‘The SEC dropped the case, and we didn’t MOON. Why? What’s going on?, What Happened’ Just Relax and Breath! The real bull market and development are just getting started.” He underscores that the gradual movement in prices can test the patience of retail investors, who often expect quicker returns: “Currently, almost all retail players are experiencing ‘pain’ it is called pain of boredom, unlike in 2017, where the market had quick ups and downs, this time the changes are happening slowly. … But this is not how financial markets work. It moves in cycles and waves.” Related Reading: XRP Wave 4 Count: Why $2.66 Is The Most Important Level To Beat Pointing to the pending arrival of large institutional participants, EGRAG CRYPTO remains optimistic: “This time around, the market might remain strong for an extended period due to steady prices. New ETFs will be helping to bring in a new breed participants … There will be hundreds and thousands of sales people pushing the XRP ETF to their clients.” His overarching message to XRP holders: remain patient. Beyond legal resolutions, XRP—like the broader crypto market—remains exposed to global economic forces. The specter of a US-led trade war, spearheaded by President Trump’s tariff policies, looms large. In particular, the 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, along with a 10% tariff on China, have fueled concerns about stagflation—a combination of slow economic growth and high inflation. Supply chain disruptions, higher consumer prices, and diminished economic momentum weigh on risk markets. Investors are increasingly shifting toward “safe haven” assets, including US Treasuries and gold, dampening demand for more volatile cryptocurrencies like XRP. The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy stance is also influencing sentiment. As of its March 19, 2025 meeting, the Fed chose to maintain interest rates in the 4.25%–4.5% range set in late 2024, pausing the rate-cutting cycle that began in September 2024. Fed Chair Jerome Powell cited persistent inflation above the 2% target, along with heightened recession risks, partly tied to tariff concerns and weaker consumer spending. Powell’s cautious tone has led to increased market unease, as a recession could further undermine confidence in risk assets. In such an environment, even the end of the XRP lawsuit may not have been enough to spark a sustained rally. At press time, XRP traded at $2.3995.

XRP is trading above crucial support levels and showing signs of strength as the broader crypto market struggles with persistent selling pressure and macroeconomic headwinds. While many digital assets have suffered steep corrections in recent weeks, XRP has remained one of the most resilient performers, holding above key technical zones and attracting growing investor interest. Related Reading: Ethereum Trades At A Critical Level – Major Reclaim Or Steep Drop Ahead? With market sentiment slowly recovering, many traders are eyeing XRP as a potential leader in the next wave of gains. Analysts believe that once the market stabilizes, XRP could be among the first altcoins to rally back toward previous highs. This optimism is supported by fresh on-chain data. According to metrics from Glassnode, the XRP network has recorded nearly 627,000 active addresses. This surge in network usage suggests growing interest and adoption, a bullish sign that often precedes price acceleration. High address activity typically indicates more users interacting with the network, whether through transactions, accumulation, or trading. If the broader market conditions improve, this spike in activity could fuel further upside for XRP. As it stands, XRP is positioned well above its key support range and looks primed for a breakout once bullish momentum returns to the market. XRP Network Activity Surges Bulls Defend Key Levels Macroeconomic uncertainty and surging volatility continue to shake both the crypto and equities markets, fueling widespread fear and triggering panic selling across asset classes. U.S. trade war concerns, inflationary pressure, and erratic policy moves have kept investors on edge, leading to deep corrections in most cryptocurrencies. Yet, amid this uncertainty, XRP stands out with surprising resilience. Related Reading: Dogecoin Forms A Daily Bullish Pattern – Analyst Expects A Breakout To $0.43 Compared to leading altcoins like Solana and Ethereum, which have both suffered notable losses, XRP remains at a strong technical level. Bulls have managed to defend key demand zones, and the current focus is on reclaiming critical supply areas to validate a new uptrend. The asset’s ability to hold support despite market-wide weakness has caught the attention of analysts and investors alike. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared on-chain data from Glassnode, revealing that XRP’s network activity is surging. With nearly 627,000 active addresses—the highest since April 2023—XRP shows signs of renewed adoption and usage. Historically, spikes in active addresses correlate with bullish momentum, as rising participation typically reflects investor confidence and transactional demand. If XRP maintains its support base and continues to show strength in network fundamentals, it could be one of the first altcoins to break out once market sentiment recovers. The rise in active addresses may be an early indicator that a larger move is on the horizon. Price Holds Strong After Small Rally — Eyes Set on $3 Breakout XRP is trading at $2.41 after a volatile few days of sharp swings between support and resistance. The token surged over 33% from its recent low at $1.89, showing strong bullish momentum despite market-wide uncertainty. This rebound has placed XRP among the top-performing assets in the crypto space, attracting renewed attention from traders and analysts. The $2.30 level now stands as a key short-term support zone. If XRP holds above this level, bulls are likely to push toward the psychological $3 mark, which also aligns with a historical resistance area. A clean breakout above $3 could open the door for a rally toward range highs and potentially new all-time highs, depending on broader market sentiment. However, if XRP fails to maintain support at $2.30, a pullback into lower demand zones around the $2.00 or even $1.89 levels is possible. This would likely slow the pace of any recovery and increase selling pressure in the short term.

XRP has registered a notable price jump in the last 24 hours as on-chain data shows bullish developments in two key indicators. XRP Has Recently Seen Growth In Active Addresses & Whale Supply In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Santiment has discussed about how two metrics related to XRP have changed recently. The indicators in question are the Supply Distribution of the whales and Active Addresses. First, the “Supply Distribution” measures the number of tokens that investors belonging to a particular group currently hold. Addresses are divided into these cohorts based on the amount of the asset that they are carrying in thire balance. The 1 to 10 coins group, for example, includes all investors who own between 1 and 10 XRP. In the context of the current topic, the whale entities are of interest. The cutoff for this group is defined as 1 million coins, with their being no upper bound to the range. At the current exchange rate, this amount converts to around $2.5 million, so only the large investors would be able to qualify for the cohort. Related Reading: Here’s Where Support & Resistance Lies For Solana, Based On On-Chain Data Now, here is the chart shared by the analytics firm, that shows the trend in the Supply Distribution for these key XRP investors: As displayed in the above graph, the XRP whales have constantly seen their Supply Distribution go up over the past year, implying that the large holders have been accumulating. Despite the recent downturn in the price, the cohort hasn’t broken this trend of buying, as its members have added another 2.82 billion coins to their holdings in the last couple of months, representing an increase of 6.5% for their supply. Following this increase, the 1 million+ coins holders now own 46.4 billion tokens of the cryptocurrency. The continued long-term accumulation from this group is naturally a bullish sign for the asset’s price. In the same chart, Santiment has also attached the data of the second indicator of relevance here: the Active Addresses. This metric keeps track of the total number of XRP addresses that are participating in some kind of transaction activity on the blockchain every day, whether as a sender or receiver. As is apparent from the graph, the XRP Active Addresses has seen a significant boost in this month of March, as the metric’s value has floated at levels approximately six times the ones from January and February. A high value of this indicator can be a sign that the interest around the asset is elevated, which is why more users are coming online to make moves on the network. In particular, the metric represents the activity level of the retail holders, who are large in number and drown out the count of the massive investors like the whales.

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has discussed the possibility of the XRP price witnessing another corrective move. He revealed the price level that XRP needs to stay above to avoid further downside pressure and rally to the upside.  XRP Needs To Stay Above $2.66 To Avoid Corrective Move  In an X post, Egrag Crypto stated that if XRP fails to close above the $2.65 to $2.70 range, it won’t negate the wave 4 move and will likely lead XRP down to the 5th wave. His accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could drop to as low as $1.7 on this corrective move, breaking the crucial $2 support level in the process. The analyst had previously highlighted this $2.65 as being critical for a bullish breakout.  Related Reading: XRP Price Ready To Bounce Back Above $3 If Bulls Can Hold This Level Egrag Crypto alluded to the fact that the US SEC was finally dropping its long-running lawsuit against Ripple, which is typically bullish for XRP. The analyst admitted that it was a significant win for long-term adoption and utility, reinforcing the belief in the altcoin’s use. However, he added that the focus has to be on the numbers and charts in the short term.  In line with this, he remarked that a close above $2.66 would be a good sign, followed by another close above $2.97 as a second bullish confirmation. He asserted that the ultimate confirmation for a bullish trend would be a close above $3.40, which is XRP’s current all-time high (ATH). A close above $3.40 would lead to the next target between $5 and $8.  Crypto analyst CasiTrades also echoed a similar sentiment, stating that XRP needs to break above $3.40 to confirm a new trend. Until then, she remarked that market participants will have to wait for signs of confirmation, which may not be obvious until wave 3 in the market cycle. Before now, the analyst affirmed that the market is on the edge of a breakout, and this week could be a defining moment, which already looks to be the case with the Ripple SEC lawsuit.  A Rally To $5 Already In Play Crypto analyst Dark Defender suggested that an XRP rally to $5 was already underway after the SEC decided to drop the Ripple lawsuit. His accompanying chart showed that XRP could witness a breakout to the $5 target. The altcoin will first rally to around $4.4 on wave 3, then correct to $3.7 on wave 4 before the rally to $5.6 on wave 5. Related Reading: XRP Price Retraces Gains From Sunday Rally, This Important Support Level Could Be The Defining Factor Meanwhile, crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto raised the possibility of XRP dropping below $2 and reaching $1.7 before any parabolic move to the upside begins. He predicts that the altcoin will rally to double digits regardless of how the price action plays out in the short term.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.45, up over 7% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

After more than four years, the US Securities and Exchange Commission is discontinuing its proceedings against Ripple in the XRP lawsuit. The announcement by CEO Brad Garlinghouse on X—stating “This is it – the moment we’ve been waiting for. The SEC will drop its appeal – a resounding victory for Ripple, for crypto, every way you look at it. The future is bright. Let’s build”—has generated waves of optimism among XRP supporters. Although attorney Jeremy Hogan noted that Ripple can still take a range of actions, the consensus among market participants is that this development dispels a massive victory for Ripple. Hogan remarked that it is still unclear if Ripple agrees to drop the appeal. He added that there are 4 possibilities left: a. Ripple continues its appeal, and we get a ruling from an appellate court on whether investment contracts require contracts, etc.. b. Ripple agrees to drop its appeal, jurisdiction returns to the trial court, and the parties attempt to amend the judgment. c. Ripple agrees to drop its appeal, and the parties enter into an agreement between them without trying to amend the judgment. d. Ripple just pays the $125mil and moves on. How High Can XRP Go? Against this backdrop, crypto analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark) has shared an updated daily XRP/USD chart. According to it, XRP broke above a descending trend line that extends across several weeks of trading activity following the announcement. Related Reading: XRP Coils For A Breakout, But Key Resistance Still Stalls The Rally The breakthrough near the $2.47 area, has been circled in green and labeled as “A Clear Break-Out” by Dark Defender, suggesting that market participants are no longer confined by the downward trajectory that characterized much of the previous price action. The chart also outlines a Elliott Wave count aligned precisely with Fibonacci retracement and extension levels. The chart illustrates a completed corrective phase and the early development of a new impulsive wave structure, supported by the decisive breakout from a long-standing descending trendline. According to the analysis, Wave (1) initiated from the local low of $1.79 and peaked around $2.55, marking the first bullish impulse. This was followed by Wave (2), which retraced into the Fibonacci support zone. The retracement respected the 61.80% level at $2.3073 and approached the 70.20% level at $2.2249, indicating a technically sound corrective wave within the Elliott framework. These levels provided a strong foundation for buyers, preventing further downside and signaling the potential completion of Wave (2). Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Would Be If It Flips Ethereum’s Market Cap Following the corrective phase, the chart projects the start of Wave (3), traditionally the strongest in Elliott Wave theory. Fibonacci extension levels are plotted to define the likely targets for this wave. The 161.80% extension aligns at $3.94, serving as a critical target zone for Wave (3). Additionally, the 261.80% extension near $3.78 further supports this zone as a potential area where bullish momentum might face resistance or temporary consolidation. However, Dark Defender predicts that XRP could rise even higher into the $4.50 region. Upon completion of Wave (3), the chart suggests a corrective Wave (4), which is expected to respect the broader uptrend and drop into the $3.78 to $3.94 region. Subsequently, the final impulsive Wave (5) is projected to extend upon the 361.80% Fibonacci level at $4.9274. This marks a potential high within the current Elliott Wave cycle by the analyst, with the possibility of a surge above $6, where the wave structure could culminate. At press time, XRP traded at $2.55. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst CoinsKid has predicted that the XRP price could soon rally to $4, which represents a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. He also warned that XRP bulls must hold the line to avoid a potential drop to as low as $1.64.  Analyst Predicts XRP Price Could Rebound To $4 In an X post, CoinsKid predicted that the XRP price could rebound to as high as $4 if the altcoin takes out the local January 2025 high, when it rallied to its current ATH at around $3.4. He added that XRP may go beyond this $4 target on the bull run in the crypto market. In the meantime, the analyst warned that XRP bulls must hold the line to avoid a significant correction. Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge CoinsKid said that failure to hold the 20 Weighted Moving Average could spark a deeper correction for the altcoin, sending the altcoin to a minimal target of $1.64. The analyst went further to discuss XRP’s current price action. He noted that the altcoin is missing a 5th wave from the July 2024 bottom.  The analyst further opined that the XRP price has been in a wave 4 irregular expanded flat ABC correction since December 2024. He revealed that XRP is currently holding the 20 Weighted Moving Average, which is a sign of strength from the bulls. However, he warned that they must continue to hold the line to avoid a drop to as low as $1.64. Meanwhile, he mentioned that the RSI and the retail top were the key data points that pointed to an XRP price correction back in December. As to what could spark this price rebound to $4, CoinsKid alluded to the global money supply, which shows that liquidity is entering the market soon after leaving in December.  $5 Is Also In Sight For The Asset Crypto analyst Dark Defender has also predicted that the XRP price could rally to as high as $5.85, although it would face significant resistance at $3.39, around its current all-time high. The analyst also highlighted $2.30 and $2.22 as the support levels that XRP needs to hold above as it eyes a rally to this $5 target.  Meanwhile, the analyst also revealed that the primary correction for the price on the weekly, daily, and 4-hour structure is over. He noted that there will be more minor ups and downs. However, Dark Defender suggested XRP was well primed for a bullish reversal. He added that the altcoin has started wave 1 with the aim of rallying to this $5 target.  Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Reignites $100 XRP Price Target, What You Should Know At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.28, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP is trading at a crucial level, setting up for what could be a major breakout. The altcoin has been one of the top performers since November 2024, maintaining strength even as the broader market struggles with uncertainty. With renewed interest in altcoins and speculation of a crypto recovery, analysts believe that XRP could be one of the biggest gainers once bullish momentum returns. Related Reading: Ethereum Is Retesting A 5-Year Long Trendline – Massive Rally Incoming? According to on-chain data from Glassnode, the $2.40 level stands as the most critical resistance for XRP. The UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) indicator signals that a large concentration of supply exists around this price, making it a pivotal level for the altcoin’s next move. A decisive breakout above this resistance could trigger a strong rally, potentially pushing XRP toward new highs. Market sentiment remains mixed as macroeconomic concerns and volatile trading conditions continue to influence price action. However, XRP’s ability to hold above key support levels suggests that bulls are preparing for a significant push. If buying pressure intensifies and XRP clears the $2.40 mark, it could signal the start of a strong upward trend, positioning the altcoin as a leader in the next phase of market recovery. XRP Holds Strong But Faces Key Resistance At $2.40 Macroeconomic uncertainty and extreme volatility have shaken both the crypto and equity markets, leading to panic selling and fear-driven trading. While many altcoins, including Solana and Ethereum, have faced steep corrections, XRP has held its ground relatively well. The altcoin remains one of the strongest performers since late 2024, standing at a crucial level that could determine its next major move. To confirm an uptrend, bulls must hold above key demand levels and push XRP beyond resistance zones. However, breaking through supply-heavy areas remains a challenge. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared insights on X, citing Glassnode data highlighting $2.40 as XRP’s most crucial resistance level. The UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) indicator suggests that a large volume of XRP was previously transacted at this level, making it a key supply zone. The URPD indicator analyzes where the most coins were last moved on-chain. This helps traders identify price levels with high buying or selling activity. When an asset approaches a URPD resistance level, many holders previously acquired their XRP at this price. If price action struggles at this zone, it indicates a large supply overhang, potentially leading to profit-taking. However, if XRP breaks through, it signals strong demand, clearing the way for higher price targets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Accumulation Resumes After 3 Months Of Distribution – Analyst With XRP consolidating below this critical level, traders are watching closely. If bulls successfully push XRP past $2.40, a breakout rally could follow, potentially driving the price toward new highs. On the other hand, failure to break through this resistance may lead to further consolidation or even a short-term pullback. The next few sessions will be crucial in determining XRP’s trajectory. Investors Eye A Breakout Above $2.50 XRP is currently trading at $2.31, following a 29% surge from the $1.89 level. Bulls are attempting to hold this price range and push above the $2.50 resistance, a crucial level that could confirm an uptrend. A successful breakout would set the stage for XRP to target range highs and further price expansion. However, resistance remains strong, and bulls need sustained momentum to reclaim key supply levels. If XRP fails to break above $2.50, sellers could step in, leading to a possible retracement. A drop below $2.20 would indicate a loss of short-term strength and could trigger a retest of lower support levels. Related Reading: Solana Holds Bullish Pattern – Expert Sets $140 Target Market sentiment and broader crypto trends will play a significant role in XRP’s next move. With macroeconomic uncertainty still affecting risk assets, traders are closely watching whether bulls can sustain the rally or if a correction is on the horizon.

XRP remains in a holding pattern, according to the latest chart analysis shared by crypto analyst @CasiTrades. Despite a relatively subdued weekend, XRP continues to trade above critical support levels, indicating that the current bullish structure has not been invalidated. XRP Price Remains Bullish A closer look at the 4-hour XRP/USD chart by @CasiTrades shows two converging trend lines that have formed a symmetrical triangle spanning from mid-January to mid-March. XRP’s price action has respected both the upper and lower boundaries of this formation until early March. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Claims XRP Will Hit $1,000 – Here’s The 10 Reasons Why Back then, the XRP price initially staged a breakout attempt, but it turned out to be a fakeout and quickly failed. However, the second breakout now appears more promising. Following the move above the trendline, XRP is currently undergoing a bullish retest and has successfully bounced off the breakout level. If this retest holds in the coming days, it could signal that the bulls are gaining control and have won this critical battle for momentum. Fibonacci retracement levels stand out as key guides for potential continuation or reversal. The 0.382 retracement near $2.26 has clearly acted as a critical support, while the 0.236 level near $2.70 aligns with a horizontal zone that functioned as prior support in early February before flipping to short-term resistance. “XRP Holding Strong, But Still in Waiting Mode! It’s been a quiet weekend for XRP, but the bullish structure remains intact. We’re still holding above $2.26, the key .382 retracement support, and price has spent some time flipping the consolidation to support—markets are setting up for the next move!” Casi notes. Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Would Be If It Flips Ethereum’s Market Cap A step higher on the chart sits the 0.118 retracement near $3.05, which lies just under a horizontal band that previously capped price action in late January. These thresholds combine to create a layered resistance region between $2.70 and $3.05, an area XRP would need to overcome for a credible shift in market sentiment. Signs of strength would become more conclusive if XRP could break above $3.40, a threshold that @CasiTrades emphasizes as necessary to confirm a broader trend change. The analyst highlights $3.40 as a defining technical barrier that must be cleared before traders can speak of a “new trend,” possibly corresponding to wave 3 of a larger market cycle. The chart also shows a projected line pushing toward $3.80, which suggests that any breakout above $3.40 could be substantial, although the analyst maintains that confirmation must precede any speculation about reaching higher price targets. On the downside, the chart indicates that if the 0.382 Fibonacci at roughly $2.26 should fail, support at $1.90 (the 0.5 retracement) would be the next logical safety net for buyers. Even lower levels near $1.54 represent the origin of the latest upward swing and could attract significant demand if the market were to experience an extended sell-off. RSI readings on the 4-hour timeframe hover in the mid-50 range, pointing to a market that is neither overbought nor oversold. This neutral momentum further underscores the “waiting mode” described by @CasiTrades, in which participants appear cautious about placing aggressive bets ahead of a decisive breakout or breakdown. In commentary shared via X, the analyst concludes: “XRP needs to break above $3.40 to confirm our new trend, but until then we are waiting signs of confirmation, which may not be obvious until wave 3 in the market cycle. Key Fib levels have already been reached. The market is on the edge of a breakout, and this week could be a defining moment!” At press time, XRP traded at $2.29.

Crypto analyst MadWhale has raised the possibility of the XRP price experiencing a breakdown below the crucial $2 support level. The analyst also revealed the next major support if XRP drops below this support level.  XRP Price Could Drop To $1.90 If It Loses $2 Support In a TradingView post, MadWhale predicted that the XRP price could drop to the major support at $1.90 if it loses the psychological $2 level. He noted that XRP has demonstrated a classic triple-top formation, with each successive peak showing weaker momentum. In line with this, the analyst asserted that a break below the 42 threshold appears imminent as XRP nears a formidable resistance zone.  Related Reading: XRP Price Retraces Gains From Sunday Rally, This Important Support Level Could Be The Defining Factor MadWhale further stated that the downward move is expected to extend to at least $1.9, representing an 18% decline. The analyst added that such a price decline aligns with the primary target and a key daily support level. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez had also suggested that XRP could drop to as low as $1.2 if it loses the $2 support.  The analyst revealed that the XRP price was forming a head-and-shoulders pattern on the weekly chart, which puts the $2 support level in the spotlight. His accompanying chart showed that the crypto could drop to $1.2 if it breaks below $2. However, despite this bearish outlook, other crypto analysts, such as Egrag Crypto, have highlighted some positive aspects of the XRP price.  Egrag Crypto stated that the XRP price’s dominance was showing tremendous strength and predicted that if it successfully closed above Fib 0.5, it could soon rally to the Fib 0.888 level. Crypto analyst Dark Defender predicted that XRP could rally to a new all-time high (ATH) if it continues to hold the crucial support levels at $2.04 and $2.22. The Altcoin Still In Waiting Mode Crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that the XRP price is holding strong but is still in waiting mode. She added that the bullish structure remains intact, with the altcoin holding above $2.26, which is the key .382 retracement support. The analyst noted that XRP’s price has spent some time flipping the consolidation to support, indicating that markets are setting up for the next move. Related Reading: Analyst Shares Upper And Lower Targets For XRP Price The crypto analyst revealed the $2.70 and $3.05 resistance levels and $2.25 support level as the key levels to watch. She remarked that the XRP price needs to flip $2.70 and $3.05 to become support for the confirmation of the next wave up. Meanwhile, CasiTrades suggested that XRP risks dropping to as low as $1.54 if it loses the lower support support at $1.90.  The crypto analyst also mentioned that the price needs to break above $3.40, its current ATH, to confirm a new trend. Until then, the wait for signs of confirmation continues, which she claimed may not be obvious until wave 3 in the market cycle. CasiTrades asserted that key Fib levels have been breached, and the market is on the edge of a breakout.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.29, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Recent data has shown what the XRP price would be if it flips Ethereum’s market cap. Such a development would also lead to a new all-time high (ATH) for XRP. Meanwhile, crypto experts have given their opinions on whether XRP could indeed flip Ethereum.  How High The XRP Price Would Be If It Flips Ethereum’s Market Cap MarketCapOf data shows that the XRP price could reach as high as $3.94 if it flips Ethereum’s market cap. This is significant as a rally to this price level would mark a new ATH for the asset.  Flipping ETH’s market cap also means that XRP will become the second largest crypto by market cap.  Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge The XRP price is already on the heels of the Ethereum price. It currently occupies the number four spot with a market cap of $135 billion while ETH boasts a market cap of $227 billion. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto had previously predicted that the altcoin will flip ETH in this market cycle. In a recent X post, the analyst suggested that it will still likely happen.  He asserted that the XRP price’s dominance is exhibiting “tremendous strength” as it is on the verge of closing above the 2021 high of 6%, surpassing Fib 0.5. The analyst added that a close above that level would be super bullish since Fib 0.5 is a critical level. Egrag Crypto predicts that the altcoin could surge straight to Fib 0.888 if it successfully closes above 0.5. He noted that this would align with the highs from 2015.  The analyst stated that this prediction for the XRP price isn’t just speculation. He seems confident in this prediction because of the asset’s utility. While Egrag Crypto believes XRP could flip Ethereum, crypto expert Ansem argues that XRP can never flip Ethereum because its use cases cannot be compared to ETH’s, which boasts a robust ecosystem.  The $2 Support Level In The Spotlight Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has again highlighted the importance of the $2 support level. He noted that the price is shaping up a head-and-shoulders pattern on the weekly chart, which spotlights the $2 support level, as holding this price level is crucial. His accompanying chart showed that XRP could drop to as low as $1.2 if it loses this support.  Crypto analyst Dark Defender also highlighted $2.04 and $2.22 as the critical support levels for the asset. He suggested that it was important for XRP to hold above these price levels as it eyes a rally to the upside targets at $4.2932 and $5.8563. A rally to as high as $5 could see it flip Ethereum, especially if the latter continues to underperform.  Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes 40% Gains, Analyst Reveals The ‘Best Level’ To Buy And Hold At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.3, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP has finally found stability above crucial demand levels after enduring weeks of heavy selling pressure and market uncertainty. Despite the broader crypto market’s volatility, XRP remains within a long-term range, trading between its $1.90 low and the $3.40 all-time high. Related Reading: Ethereum Must Reclaim $2,050 To Start A Recovery Rally – Insights After gaining over 30% since last Tuesday, analysts are speculating about a potential breakout above critical supply zones. If XRP continues building momentum, it could soon challenge key resistance levels, setting the stage for a larger move to the upside. Adding to the bullish outlook, on-chain data from Santiment reveals that whales have accumulated over 150 million XRP in the last 48 hours. Historically, large-scale whale accumulation has often preceded major price rallies, as it signals growing confidence from institutional investors and high-net-worth holders. With XRP holding above key support and whale activity increasing, investors are now watching for a decisive move above supply zones to confirm a long-term bullish reversal. The next few trading sessions will be crucial in determining whether XRP can maintain its strength or if further consolidation is needed before another major move. XRP Outperforms As Whale Accumulation Signals A Potential Breakout Compared to other major crypto assets, XRP has been overperforming since late 2024, showing strong resilience despite market-wide corrections. While many altcoins have struggled to reclaim key levels, XRP has held its range and built a foundation for a potential recovery. Once the market shifts into an uptrend, analysts believe that XRP could be one of the first assets to break into price discovery, potentially leading a massive rally. Related Reading: Cardano Is ‘About To Break Free’ – Breakout Above Crucial Supply To Trigger A Big Move–Analyst Price action remains relatively stable, even as broader macroeconomic conditions create uncertainty. Speculation is growing not only about a crypto market recovery but also about a potential rebound in the U.S. stock market, which has faced its own volatility in recent months. If global financial markets regain strength, it could further support XRP’s bullish outlook. Top analyst Ali Martinez recently shared on-chain data from Santiment, revealing that whales have accumulated over 150 million XRP in the last 48 hours. This large-scale accumulation is part of a broader trend, where whales and institutional players have been buying XRP during periods of market weakness. Historically, such accumulation phases have preceded strong price recoveries, as long-term investors position themselves for future gains. For now, XRP bulls must hold current levels and reclaim key resistance zones to confirm the start of a new rally. If XRP breaks through crucial supply levels, it could signal the beginning of a major price surge, potentially pushing it into new all-time highs. The next few trading sessions will be critical in determining whether XRP can maintain its momentum or if further consolidation is needed before the next move upward. Price Holds Above Key Demand XRP is currently trading at $2.37, maintaining strength after defending the $1.89 support level last week. Bulls have successfully held key demand, preventing further downside, but the main challenge now is breaking above crucial supply zones to trigger a rally. If XRP pushes above the $2.60 mark with strong momentum, it could open the door for a rally into price discovery. A break and reclaim of the $3 level would likely signal the start of a major uptrend, potentially leading to new all-time highs. However, the market remains volatile, and a retest of range lows is still possible before XRP makes a decisive move. Bulls must continue defending key support levels while building momentum for a breakout above resistance.

The XRP price could be staging a parabolic rally to new all-time highs of $110. While an analyst shares a technical analysis to back this ambitious target, Bollinger Bands creator John Bollinger declares XRP to be a market leader in the crypto space.  Analyst Predicts New XRP Price Target To $110 In a rather lengthy X (formerly Twitter) post, market expert Egrag Crypto went deep into his analysis for the XRP price, basing his predictions on its Elliott Wave structure. The crypto analyst confidently forecasted that XRP was heading towards a new $110 ATH. This bullish target would represent a whopping 3,974% increase from its current market value. Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge Firstly, Egrag Crypto outlines XRP’s five-wave structure, underscoring that each wave could push the cryptocurrency to a new target. The analyst reveals that XRP is currently in Wave 2 of its Elliott Wave structure and is closely approaching Wave 3, which is expected to trigger the most explosive increase. In Wave 1, XRP saw an impressive 733% increase to new highs. However, in its current Wave 2, Egrag Crypto highlights that its 2017 fractal appears more profound. With the formation of a Double Bottom pattern, the analyst has predicted a potential price breakdown for the cryptocurrency.  Egrag Crypto further forecasts that Wave 3 will trigger a reversal and cause the price to skyrocket by 1,185%. This massive price increase would effectively place the XRP price at a potential target between $22 and $24. For a more conservative target, the analyst estimates a surge of around $22 to $24.  For Wave 4, Egrag Crypto predicts another major retracement similar to Wave 2. However, this time, the analyst believes XRP could decline by either 14.6%, 23.6%, or 38.2% from Wave 3’s price high. This correction would mark a 65% drop from Wave 3’s peak, bringing the cryptocurrency’s price down to $8. He also highlights a worse-case bearish scenario where XRP crashes as low as $3.4.  Notably, Egrag Crypto shares three potential bullish targets for Wave 5, the final part of the Elliott Wave Structure. He forecasts that the altcoin could surge between $32 to $48, $60 to $70, or $95 to $110. The analyst has based his optimistic forecast on past cycle trends, where 2017 saw a major price rally for XRP.  Bollinger Bands Creator Says The Asset To Become Leader In other news, Bollinger, the creator of the renowned Bollinger Band technical analysis tool, has highlighted XRP in his latest post, questioning whether it could take a leading role in the crypto market. The technical analyst asserts that Ripple has held up better than other primary crypto vehicles. Related Reading: Analyst Says Only Buy XRP If It Reaches This Level  Considering its legal battles with the US SEC and present regulatory challenges, Ripple continues to remain resilient, aiming to gain clarity during the final stages of the five-year-long lawsuit. Meanwhile, the XRP price, which is currently trading at $2.4, has experienced a recent uptick, increasing by almost 4% in the last day, according to CoinMarketCap.

In a new video, CryptoSensei (@Crypt0Senseii)—the founder of the Cryptonairz community—laid out a comprehensive argument for why he believes XRP could soar to four- and even five-digit price territory. The video, titled “THIS WILL GUARANTEE A $1000 XRP PRICE,” focuses on ten key factors that, according to CryptoSensei, could significantly boost XRP’s adoption and market valuation in the coming years. #1 Regulatory Clarity For XRP CryptoSensei begins by underscoring the ongoing legal situation involving the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs, mentioning the partial appeal of the court’s July 2023 ruling. While stressing that the appeal does not designate XRP itself as a security, he notes that “we still have the case against Brad and Chris [referring to Ripple executives] going.” The resolution of these legal hurdles, he argues, is crucial for broader institutional adoption within the United States. “If we want the type of movement we’re looking for inside the US, we need those things to come to an end,” CryptoSensei says, alluding to the potential for major banks like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and BNY Mellon to officially engage with XRP once regulatory clarity is achieved. #2 Institutions Standing By To Use XRP The video highlights a series of statements from major financial institutions, including the CEO of BNY Mellon, who indicated that crypto custody and tokenized assets are among the bank’s future priorities. According to CryptoSensei, banks are “ready to jump in,” but are hesitant to make large-scale commitments without clear regulatory guidelines. He emphasizes that if XRP were to host “even 5 or 10%” of a multi-trillion-dollar global tokenization market, the price could reach four- or five-digit figures. #3 Potential SEC Case Drops A noteworthy discussion point is the SEC’s recent trend of dropping cases (or opting not to pursue them) against certain crypto firms. CryptoSensei mentions that the Commission “dropped the case against OpenSea, Coinbase, [and] Robinhood,” suggesting a possible shift in enforcement strategy. “Is Ripple, in fact, next? … If the [former] Trump administration wants to stand by their word of working with the crypto industry and not against them, I do believe this is coming,” he posits. #4 Tokenization Of Real-World Assets (RWAs) Central to CryptoSensei’s thesis is the growing trend of tokenizing traditional assets—ranging from real estate to debt instruments—on blockchain networks. He cites Ripple Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz, who says the XRP Ledger (XRPL) could be “a really good platform” for these tokenization projects, thanks to its low fees, integrated decentralized exchange (DEX), and multi-asset support. Schwartz explained: “If someone’s going to buy or sell tokenized real-world assets, they want to be able to do that with whatever asset is convenient for them.” CryptoSensei further highlights how Robinhood’s documentation from January 2025 (mentioned in the video) cites Ripple’s success in tokenizing hundreds of millions of dollars in real-world assets on the XRPL—projects that aim to expand into the billions and eventually trillions. #5 Interoperability Bridges Another critical piece is interoperability. CryptoSensei references the Axelar network, which is bridging the XRPL mainnet, the XRP Ledger EVM sidechain, and over 55 other blockchains. The expansion of cross-chain liquidity is described as “liquidity, liquidity, liquidity.” He points out that the XRPL’s design—integrating DEX functionality directly into the protocol—simplifies asset swaps and liquidity provisioning, boosting its appeal for large-scale tokenization. #6 Cross-Border Payment Solutions Ripple’s long-standing focus on remittances and cross-border payments also features prominently. CryptoSensei shows a clip describing how a US-to-Mexico corridor, facilitated by XRP, can settle in mere minutes at a fraction of legacy fees. “All of that takes about 10 minutes, which used to be three days,” says a Ripple spokesperson in the included clip, also noting that these transactions can be up to “20-odd basis points cheaper.” He argues that such improvements in speed and cost will eventually outcompete outdated correspondent banking rails, potentially capturing a significant portion of the multi-billion-dollar global remittance market. #7 Collaborations With Key Global Institutions In the video, CryptoSensei showcases the Bank for International Settlements’ (BIS) Cross-Border Payments Interoperability and Extension Task Force, listing Ripple alongside only a handful of major international payment networks—such as Mastercard, SWIFT, and EBA Clearing. He emphasizes Ripple’s unique position as the only blockchain infrastructure provider on the roster, describing it as a testament to the company’s significance in shaping next-generation payment standards. #8 Treasury Market On XRP Ledger Referencing Ondo’s tokenization initiatives, CryptoSensei highlights the possibility of US Treasuries migrating onto blockchains, potentially including the XRP Ledger. He notes the US Treasury market alone stands at over $28 trillion, while globally, the bond market encompasses roughly $130 trillion. “Could you imagine five or ten trillion dollars finding its way onto the XRP Ledger over the next five to ten years?” he asks, suggesting even a fraction of that capital would profoundly affect XRP’s valuation. #9 Derivatives Expansion According to the video, derivatives—often said to represent notional values in the hundreds of trillions to over a quadrillion dollars—are a prime target for on-chain tokenization. CryptoSensei points to Bitstamp, which is building a derivatives exchange on the XRPL. He believes that capturing a slice of these massive markets could drive significant demand for XRP, especially if large holders lock up tokens for long-term liquidity provisioning. #10 Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) Finally, the pundit underscores Ripple’s work with various central banks on CBDC pilots. He cites projects under the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and notes that Ripple was recently named the top technology provider for CBDCs by Juniper Research. From the Bank of International Settlements to major economies in Asia, CryptoSensei posits that the institutional relationships Ripple has forged place XRP in a strategic position to bridge disparate currencies and networks. “Ripple is working with up to 30 central banks,” he states, emphasizing that these ongoing partnerships may open doors for XRP to serve as a liquidity tool in sovereign-level digital currencies. While some of the claims—such as XRP reaching “four or five digits”—are extremely bullish and hinge on multiple converging factors, CryptoSensei remains steadfast: if even a few of these catalysts unfold in Ripple’s favor, he envisions a drastically higher valuation for XRP. Throughout the video, he stresses that regulatory clarity in the United States is the linchpin to unlocking widespread adoption. “If all of these things happen,” he concludes, “you better believe we’re looking at a four to five digit price.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.31.

Crypto analyst CW23 has revealed that the XRP price is hinting at a symmetrical triangle, which provides a bullish outlook for the crypto. However, he warned that a price crash could occur before XRP breaks out of this triangle and rallies to the upside.  XRP Price Hints At Symmetrical Triangle  In a TradingView post, CW23 revealed that a symmetrical triangle may be forming for the XRP price. This came as he noted that XRP is bouncing off the bottom of an ascending channel, with the pinbar candle on the 4-hour chart now in upward pressure having tested the bottom. The analyst added that the crypto will probably trade in this range for a while.  Related Reading: XRP Price Pump To $3.35 On The Horizon With Bullish Cup And Handle Pattern Formation However, CW23 stated that a symmetrical triangle is forming and it could be a larger wave 4 pullback in the Elliot wave before wave 5 takes the XRP price to a new all-time high (ATH) to round out this year’s bull cycle. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that XRP could drop to as low as $1.70 on wave 4. Meanwhile, the asset is projected to rally to a new ATH of $5 on wave 5.  Crypto analyst ElmoX also recently predicted that the XRP price could witness a massive corrective and drop below $2 before it rallies to new highs. The analyst provided a more bullish outlook for XRP, predicting it could rally to as high as $20 in this market cycle. However, he warned that the crypto would face major resistance at $2.9 on its way to a new ATH.  The Altcoin Has Finalized Its Correction In an X post, crypto analyst Dark Defender stated that the XRP price has finalized the correction on the four-hour time frame. He mentioned that XRP is expected to move towards $2.42 first considering the correction structures. The analyst also affirmed that the real move to the upside will start after XRP climbs above the Ichimoku clouds.  Related Reading: XRP Price Retraces Gains From Sunday Rally, This Important Support Level Could Be The Defining Factor Dark Defender highlighted $2.22 and $2.04 as the support levels to watch out for while he stated that $4.2932 and $5.8563 are the targets which the XRP price could rally to. Crypto analyst CasiTrades highlighted the importance of the altcoin holding the support levels at $2.04 and $2.11.  She added that a hold above either of these levels is critical to maintaining the consolidation. Meanwhile, the analyst revealed that the next resistance levels are $2.25 and $2.70, which happens to be the next breakout level. CasiTrades also assured market participants that the price is still bullish, indicating it is still well primed to reach new highs.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.24, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP bulls are making a strong push, but the $2.2546 resistance level is proving to be a tough barrier. After a steady upward climb, buying momentum has weakened as sellers step in to defend this key level. A successful breakout could signal a continuation of the uptrend, driving XRP toward new highs and reinforcing positive sentiment in the market. However, if buyers fail to overcome this hurdle, XRP may face a pullback, with traders eyeing lower support levels for stability. Market participants are closely monitoring whether the bullish momentum is strong enough to push past the resistance or if selling pressure will force a temporary retreat. Market Sentiment And XRP’s Resistance Struggle Market sentiment remains a key factor in XRP’s ongoing battle against the $2.2546 resistance level. While bulls try to drive the price higher, the lack of strong follow-through suggests lingering uncertainty among traders. The resistance level has become a critical test, with buyers needing to sustain momentum to confirm a breakout. Related Reading: XRP Faces Bearish MVRV Crossover—Price Plunge To Continue? Broader market conditions, including Bitcoin’s movement and overall investor confidence, are influencing XRP’s price action. A surge in trading volume and renewed buying pressure could provide the necessary strength for a breakout. However, if sellers continue to defend this level, XRP may struggle to gain further ground, leading to potential profit-taking and a short-term pullback. Furthermore, after crossing above the 50% mark, the RSI is now dipping below it, creating uncertainty among traders. This shift reflects a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, leaving XRP in a state of market indecision. Without a clear directional push, price movement could remain volatile as traders await stronger signals for the next move. For the bulls to regain control, market sentiment must shift decisively in their favor, with technical indicators aligning to support an upward push. Until then, XRP remains at a crossroads, with both breakout and rejection scenarios still in play. Breakout Potential: What Needs To Happen? For XRP to break above the $2.2546 resistance level, bulls must generate strong momentum backed by increasing buying pressure. A sustained push beyond this critical level, confirmed by a decisive daily close, might set the stage for further gains.  Its ability to stabilize above $2.2546  may attract more traders looking to ride the breakout, potentially driving the price toward higher targets such as $2.6482 and $2.9272. Related Reading: XRP Faces Make-Or-Break Moment Amid Bearish Threat Also, XRP’s price must break above the 100-day SMA, and the RSI needs to rise above the 60% threshold. Breaking above these levels could pave the way for more growth, while failure to do so may leave XRP vulnerable to consolidation or a pullback. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview.com

A new XRP price forecast has emerged, offering insights into the cryptocurrency’s next bearish move. A crypto analyst who previously predicted XRP‘s crash below $2 has provided a more comprehensive outlook, outlining key support and resistance areas that will determine XRP’s next target.  According to TradingView crypto analyst, ‘MMBTrader,’ the XRP price is set to dump below the $2 threshold. As of writing, CoinMarketCap reports that XRP is trading at $2.2, reflecting a modest 3% increase in value in the last 24 hours.  XRP Price Projected To Crash To $1.5 Notably, the cryptocurrency is gradually giving up gains, negatively impacted by the broader market downtrend and lack of bullish drivers. MMBTrader has shared a technical chart supporting his bearish prediction for the XRP price.  Related Reading: Pundit Who Correctly Predicted XRP Price Crash To $2.5 Says Demand Zone Will Send It Soaring The TradingView crypto expert has identified a Head and Shoulder pattern on the XRP daily chart, consisting of three peaks: left shoulder, head, and right shoulder. Typically, a classic Head and Shoulder pattern is considered one of the most common indicators of a potential price breakdown, with the price of a cryptocurrency expected to reverse from bullish to bearish.  Looking at the price chart, a break below the pattern’s neckline around the $1.95 price point would confirm XRP’s bearish position. If the cryptocurrency fails to hold the $1.95 support level, a sharp drop, possibly up to 50%, is expected. This massive crash would effectively place the price around the $1.5 level or even as low as $1.2. While he expects a possible crash to $1.5, MMBTrader also projects an alternative bullish scenario in which the XRP price initiates a strong rebound. The analyst revealed that if the cryptocurrency consolidates near $2 without breaking lower, then a bounce to new highs could follow. Additionally, the TradingView expert believes that the asset could also experience a significant rally toward $5 after its projected 50% price crash. He highlights that if XRP can hold the support level near $1.5, then a strong reversal could occur, potentially triggering a bullish move between $4 and $4.5. Whales Scoop Up $385 Million Amid Market Downtrend While XRP experiences slow momentum due to the market’s recent decline, whales are seizing the opportunity to buy the dip, accumulating a significant amount of the token. According to crypto analyst Brett, an XRP whale has executed a large-scale transaction, buying over 167 million XRP, valued at $368.4 million, in a single purchase. Related Reading: XRP Price Pump To $3.35 On The Horizon With Bullish Cup And Handle Pattern Formation Brett revealed that this whale purchase was made as the market panicked over increasing volatility and price declines. Over the past few weeks, XRP has struggled to recover from bearish trends, joining the ranks of top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which recorded a major price crash earlier in February. CoinMarketCap’s data shows that the the altcoin’s price has fallen by 11.6% in just one week. This decline comes as the broader crypto market faces massive liquidations totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

On-chain data shows the XRP Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio has just gone through a crossover that may not be positive for the asset’s price. XRP MVRV Ratio Has Dropped Under Its 200-Day MA As pointed out by analyst Ali Martinez in a new post on X, the MVRV Ratio’s latest crossover may signal a macro trend shift for XRP. The “MVRV Ratio” refers to an on-chain indicator that keeps track of the ratio between a given asset’s market cap and its realized cap. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bear Market Is Below This Level, Analyst Reveals The realized cap is a capitalization model that calculates the cryptocurrency’s ‘true’ value by assuming that the real value of any token in circulation is the spot price at which it was last transacted on the network. The previous transaction price of any coin can be considered the value at which its investor purchased it, so the realized cap represents the total amount of capital that the asset’s holders as a whole spent to purchase their holdings. In contrast, the market cap just tells us what value the investors are holding in the present. Since the MVRV Ratio takes the ratio between these two metrics, it basically signifies the profit-loss status of the market as a whole. The indicator being greater than 1 suggests investors are holding more than they invested, while it being under the mark implies a dominance of underwater tokens. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the trend in the XRP MVRV Ratio, as well as its 200-day moving average (MA), over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the XRP MVRV Ratio has witnessed a plunge recently as a result of the drawdown that the cryptocurrency’s price has gone through. Though, despite the price crash, the indicator’s value continues to be well above the 1 level, meaning that the investors of the asset are still largely in the green. That said, there is one important level that the metric has indeed dipped below due to the downtrend: the 200-day MA. Related Reading: Solana Falls Under Realized Price: Here’s What Happened Last Time The MVRV Ratio broke above the level in the last few months of 2024 and remained above it until this breakdown. From the chart, it’s apparent that the previous crossover proved to be a bullish signal for XRP. Now that the reverse crossover has occurred, the analyst has noted that another potential macro trend shift could be ahead for the cryptocurrency’s price. It only remains to be seen whether the asset will continue to decline in the coming days and confirm the pattern or not. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is floating around 2.23, up more than 5% over the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com

In an interview with the Paul Barron Network, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan expressed his perspective on the long-debated regulatory battle surrounding XRP and its potential market reaction once legal uncertainties are resolved. According to Hougan, the crypto asset—long restrained by litigation—may be significantly undervalued, with the potential for a sharp market correction following a favorable resolution to its legal entanglements. Since 2020, XRP has been entangled in a legal dispute with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which accused Ripple Labs of conducting an unregistered securities offering. The lawsuit has cast a long shadow over the token, restricting its growth within the US market and leading to its delisting from several major exchanges in the past. Related Reading: Analyst Says Only Buy XRP If It Reaches This Level Now, with the lawsuit potentially reaching its final ruling by April 16, according to Barron, market participants are speculating on XRP’s future trajectory. Hougan weighed in on the matter, pointing out that a resolution could unlock significant latent demand and shift the narrative around the asset. “From my 30,000-foot view, specific to XRP, I think there’s a significant chunk of the crypto market that has sort of written it off or forgotten about it. And I think that part of the market is wrong,” Hougan stated. What Happens Post-Lawsuit With XRP? One of the key takeaways from Hougan’s analysis is the idea that XRP remains an unknown variable in the broader crypto landscape. Unlike Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which have seen major adoption and institutional inflows, XRP has remained stagnant due to regulatory overhang. If the lawsuit concludes with clarity that allows unrestricted US adoption, the real potential of XRP in global finance could finally be realized. “The reality is, XRP has been suppressed by litigation for multiple years, and we don’t yet know what it can do on the global stage when it’s freed from those restraints,” he added. While Hougan did not make outright price predictions, he did note that institutional and retail sentiment could pivot quickly if XRP gains renewed regulatory clarity in the US. Related Reading: XRP Flirts With A Daily Range Breakdown – Price Must Hold Above $2 Level The discussion also delved into Japan’s aggressive adoption of XRP, with SBI Holdings leading the charge in integrating the asset into its digital banking ecosystem. As noted in the interview, XRP has now surpassed Ethereum in Japanese investor holdings, signaling deep institutional confidence in its future. Paul Barron emphasized that Japan’s approach could foreshadow broader global adoption: “SBI seems to be doing with XRP what Michael Saylor did with Bitcoin—strategically accumulating and positioning it for long-term institutional use.” Hougan agreed, highlighting that XRP’s role in international remittances and liquidity solutions remains underappreciated, and the ongoing legal battle has hindered a more comprehensive evaluation of its utility-driven demand. Another major topic of discussion was the possibility of an spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). While Hougan did not reveal any detail about Bitwise’s ETF filing and its progress with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), he highlighted the firm’s confidence. “We don’t file for ETPs for fun. We file for them because we think they can launch, and we think there is a significant audience, and we think it’s an important asset.” While some analysts argue that XRP’s legal troubles have already been priced in, Hougan’s comments concluded that the potential upside remains largely ignored by the broader market. If the SEC case concludes favorably, the re-listing of XRP on major US exchanges, new institutional flows, and expanded adoption in banking systems could lead to a market repricing event. “There’s no guarantee XRP will be enormously successful, but there’s equally no guarantee that it won’t be,” Hougan emphasized. At press time, XRP traded at $2.12. Featured image from YouTube, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst ElmoX has asserted that the XRP price is still bullish despite the recent crypto market crash. His analysis revealed that XRP is set to face major resistance at $2.9, although he is confident that the crypto will eventually break this resistance and rally to as high as $20.  XRP Price Faces Resistance At $2.9 But Could Still Rally To $20 In a TradingView post, ElmoX outlined two scenarios for the XRP price as it eyes a rally to $20, although he noted that the crypto will retest the major resistance at around $2.92 either way, on its way to a new all-time high (ATH).  For the first scenario, the analyst stated that XRP would break this resistance and then skyrocket to $20.  Related Reading: XRP Price Can Fall Further To $1.5 If This Level Fails To Hold Meanwhile, in the second scenario, ElmoX stated that the XRP price could face another rejection, sending it below the $1.5 level before it witnesses a bullish reversal and rallies to a new ATH. The analyst revealed that he is betting on this second scenario since there is usually a swift crash before an impulsive move to the upside.  ElmoX remarked that the XRP price has barely corrected, which is also why he believes there could still be a massive crash before a rally to a new ATH. Meanwhile, the analyst didn’t provide an exact timing for the potential price correction and subsequent rally to a new ATH and the $20 price target.  Instead, he simply told market participants to be patient. He further warned that the XRP price might sit in price discovery until at least mid-July. His accompanying chart showed that XRP will first drop to as low as $1.20 before it witnesses an impulsive move to as high as $20.  The Altcoin Records A Bullish Close In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades noted that although the XRP price briefly broke below the $2 trendline, the candle closed back above this trendline, reclaiming the consolidation range. She remarked that this is exactly what bulls needed to see. However, the analyst added that a confirmation is needed with XRP holding the range between $2 and $2.03 as support.  Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge CasiTrades stated that a breakdown from consolidation usually leads to further downsides, but the XRP price managed to recover the level quickly, showing that buyers are stepping in. She also noted that the bullish divergence is still holding up to the 1-hour RSI even after the dip with selling pressure weakening, which suggests a shift in momentum is possible.  If the XRP price holds the support between $2 and $2.03, CasiTrades predicts that the crypto could bounce and rally toward $2.25 and $2.70. On the other hand, if XRP loses this level, she stated that the next major support sits at $1.90 which is the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. Meanwhile, there is also the possibility that XRP could drop to the 0.618 Fib retracement level at $1.54.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.10, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
