On June 20, Ripple Labs Inc. scored a pivotal victory in its ongoing legal challenges, specifically in the federal class action suit filed in the Northern District of California. The case (4:18-cv-06753-PJH), presided over by Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton has been closely monitored by the XRP community due to its potential implications for the classification […]
On-chain analytics platform Santiment has outlined a factor that could contribute to Cardano (ADA) and XRP enjoying further moves to the upside. Both tokens recorded relief pumps following the recent decline in the crypto market, but market traders believe this development is far from a bullish reversal. Heavy Trader Shorting Could Lead To Price Rises For Cardano And XRP Santiment claimed in an X (formerly Twitter) post that the heavy trader shorting which Cardano and XRP are currently seeing could be the “rocket fuel” for continued price rises for these crypto tokens. Santiment had also revealed that Cardano and XRP were among the most notable altcoins that are heavily shorted following their relief bounces. Related Reading: Ethereum Price To Hit $10,000, ‘Just The Way The Chips Have Fallen,’ Analyst Says Interestingly, they called this a “good sign” for the patient bulls, as they believe that liquidation of these short positions could effectively be the momentum that these crypto tokens need to rise higher. Cardano and XRP being named among the most shorted altcoins isn’t surprising, considering that they are the most underperforming coins this year among the top 50 crypto tokens by market cap. Cardano and XRP have also usually failed to enjoy significant relief pumps even when Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader crypto market enjoy a massive rebound. However, this time could be different, as Cardano and XRP have enjoyed a modest price recovery while some other altcoins lag. Data from Coinglass shows that Santiment’s theory could already be in play, seeing how the Cardano and XRP bears have suffered significant losses in the last 24 hours. Over $50,000 in Cardano short positions have been liquidated during this period, while not a single cent in Cardano long positions have been liquidated. Similarly, over $30,000 in XRP short positions have been liquidated while XRP longs were unaffected. A Major Move Might Be On The Horizon For XRP Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto recently predicted that XRP could enjoy a price pump of around 1,700% starting in July. He alluded to XRP’s quarterly hammer formation between April and June 2016 and July and September 2017 before the crypto token enjoyed a major pump. The crypto analyst stated that XRP could form this bullish pattern again but needed to close the 3-month candle above the range between $0.55 and $0.58 in 10 days. Related Reading: Dogecoin Weighted Sentiment Drops To 2024 Lows, What Does This Mean For Price? Egrag further claimed that if the hammer formation is similar to the one in 2016, the XRP could begin the projected 1,700% price rally in July, eventually sending the crypto token to $8. However, if the hammer formation is similar to the one in 2017, Egrag mentioned that XRP holders might have to wait another six months before the “epic” pump of around 5,500%, sending XRP’s price to $27.

The XRP price has struggled in the market over the past year and has failed to reach a new all-time high even after securing partial victories against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, this lackluster price action has not deterred investors, who continue to believe in the long-term potential of the altcoin. One crypto analyst, in particular, expects the coin price to see another bullish wave that could push it toward the $1 price target. XRP Price Ready For Another Bullish Wave Crypto analyst Alan Santana has predicted a bullish future for the XRP price. The analyst shared a recent analysis which took into account the past performances of not just XRP, but also other crypto assets as well, highlighting their recent peaks. Related Reading: Is Solana A Good Buy? Finance CEO Predicts ‘Magnificent’ Autumn Rally The crypto analyst explained that all cryptocurrencies had time for their peaks, and then when they entered a bullish wave. Usually, this bullish wave tends to occur around 8-10 months following the previous peak, meaning that the XRP price is long overdue for a bullish wave. Alan Santana revealed that the last peak for XRP was back in July 2023, when Judge Analisa Torres had ruled that programmatic XRP sales did not qualify as securities offerings. At the time, the XRP price had rallied over $0.7. However, once that bullish wave ended, the altcoin went into a decline that lasted almost one year. Presently, the XRP price has spent a total of 11 months without a bullish wave and given the established average of 8-10 months for cryptocurrencies between each bullish wave, the altcoin may be getting ready for another bullish wave. However, as the crypto analyst explains, not all bullish waves are the same for all crypto assets. This means that even if XRP were to see another bullish wave, it may not be as expected. Nevertheless, Alan Santana expects that the bullish wave will push the price further. How High Can The Price Go? Providing the possible target for where the XRP price may end up from here, the crypto analyst suggests that a 100% move is possible for the altcoin. One of the major targets highlighted is the $0.65, which is around a 50% increase in price from here. Related Reading: Shiba Inu To The Moon: Analyst Predicts A Run Above $0.00015 If This Happens However, that is not the highest the price is expected to go in its next bullish wave. According to Alan Santana’s chart, the XRP price could end up running as high as $0.9442 before it loses steam. From here, it is possible that the price does touch above the coveted $1 level before correcting back downward again. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has provided insights into the XRP future trajectory, predicting that the crypto token could rise to three digits. His prediction comes amid a recent spike in XRP’s trading volume, which also provides a bullish case for the crypto token. XRP To Reach $200 At Some Point Egrag suggested in an X (formerly Twitter) post that XRP could reach $200 at some point based on its next triangle consolidation. He stated that in the future, newbies would talk about how XRP’s price has remained stagnant at around $50 (instead of its current price of around $0.50) and that these same persons would complain about XRP pumping from $50 to $200. Basically, the analyst was predicting that XRP will experience exponential growth soon and that XRP newbies will not understand how the crypto token has come a long way, considering how it has remained stagnant for a while now. He claimed these investors will “never comprehend seven years of conviction and dedication.” Egrag acknowledged the frustration regarding XRP’s tepid price action and even mentioned that XRP Ledger (XRPL) builders are “starting to nag and feel frustration.” However, as always, he urged the XRP army to “stay steady.” He suggested that XRP is the token of the future, as he stated that “all previous models will be thrown out the window because they will not apply to the fourth industrial revolution.” Egrag’s analysis comes amid a recent surge in XRP’s derivatives trading volume, with data from Coinglass showing a 300% increase and a total of $3.24 billion traded in the last 24 hours. Additionally, data from CoinMarketCap shows that XRP’s spot trading volume is up by over 200% in the last 24 hours. This development is significant. It shows that crypto investors and traders are actively invested in the crypto token and may be looking to accumulate more XRP during this period, which could contribute to a price rally for the crypto token. Interestingly, XRP is one of the few crypto tokens up in the last 24 hours despite the recent crypto market dip. Another Bullish Outlook Crypto analyst Casi Trades also recently offered a bullish outlook for XRP. She claimed the crypto token looked “very bullish” as it had just come off the golden retracement levels. Casi Trades further stated that the altcoin needs to achieve a “strong breakout” above these resistance levels, noting that such an occurrence will clearly indicate a new trend. She suggested that this could be a big moment for XRP, stating that “this test could be the moment” that the market has been waiting for. Casi Trades sounded optimistic that XRP could achieve this breakout as she stated that Bitcoin had retraced close to the .618 level, which she believes could set the stage for the breakout.

The latest chart analysis by crypto analyst @Cryptobilbuwoo0, published via X, offers a compelling narrative for XRP’s potential upward trajectory when juxtaposed against the total cryptocurrency market capitalization. The analyst emphasizes key technical indicators and historical patterns, suggesting that XRP might be on the brink of a significant bullish phase. XRP Price Poised To “Bounce” The XRP/Total chart primarily illustrates a descending trajectory that began forming from its early 2018 peak. This overarching downtrend is marked by successive lower highs that articulate a consistent descending trendline. Moreover, @Cryptobilbuwoo0 highlights the ‘Bounce Back Line,’ a horizontal support line that has historically acted as a crucial reversal point for the XRP price action. The chart shows several instances where the price of XRP, upon reaching this line, has rebounded dramatically. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Rally 102,590% To $500, But There’s A Catch The last instance of XRP interacting with the “Bounce Back Line” was on December 28, 2020. Following this touchpoint, the price soared over 1,100%, climbing from $0.18 to $2. Earlier, on February 27, 2017, XRP escalated from just under $0.02 to $3.35 within 10 months. Currently, XRP is once again nearing the “Bounce Back Line.” Given the historic outcomes following support from this level, the analyst predicts another significant rally may be on the horizon. The chart analysis further deepens with a nuanced look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Wavetrend Indicator (WT Krypt), which are pivotal to understanding the market’s momentum and potential reversals. The 14-day RSI is currently nearing 31, approaching the oversold territory which historically signals a buying opportunity or a trend reversal. This is evident in the past markings on the chart, where similar RSI levels have coincided with the “Bounce Back Line” and substantial upward price movements. The Wavetrend Indicator, used for spotting the start and end of cycles in the cryptocurrency’s price, has shown several bullish signs. Bullish divergences have been a critical focus, occurring when the price of XRP makes new lows while the indicator does not follow suit, suggesting a decrease in downward momentum. Moreover, the recent crossover of the Wavetrend lines (red crossing over blue) is typically interpreted as a bullish entry signal, indicating potential upward price movement. Related Reading: XRP Whale Goes On Shopping Spree: 27 Million Coins Snapped Up As Price Dips In addition to the primary indicators, the analyst has annotated the chart with past price actions and highlighted areas and patterns, such as bullish divergences. These annotations serve to emphasize significant trading zones and anticipated trend shifts based on historical data. The marked sections of the chart indicate that each time similar conditions were met, there followed a significant increase in the XRP price, reinforcing the bullish outlook presented in the current analysis. @Cryptobilbuwoo0’s analysis suggests that XRP, currently positioned at a historically significant price level and supported by bullish indicator signals, is poised for a potential breakout. This outlook is bolstered by the RSI nearing oversold conditions and the positive signals from the Wavetrend Indicator. If the historical pattern repeats, the crypto asset could see a substantial rally, affirming the analyst’s perspective: Looking at the XRP/Total chart, XRP has always risen significantly from the rebound line. Indicators are also calling the bulls. XRP always moves alone like a maverick. XRP’s showtime begins. At press time, XRP traded at $0.49.

It is no longer surprising that the XRP price movement has stagnated around $0.5 in the past few months despite various positive developments for Ripple. This lackluster price action has left many XRP investors feeling wanting, especially considering the positive price action of other cryptocurrencies. Sean McBride, a former director at Ripple, believes XRP is unlikely to register a significant breakout until Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit with the SEC concludes. Ongoing SEC Lawsuit Weighs Heavily On XRP Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC has been dragging on for over three years, and it continues to cast a dark cloud over XRP’s price. Ripple scored a partial win in July 2023 when Judge Torres decided that XRP to retail investors is not a security. This decision resulted in a temporary increase in the price of XRP to $0.90. However, the embattled crypto token now finds itself stuck below $0.50, unable to break out despite various rebounds and periods of dominance by the bulls. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts Cardano Price Will Rally 370% To $2, Here’s The Timeline A recent example of this repetition was observed in the past 30 days when a period of bull dominance saw XRP trading just above the $0.5 price mark for three weeks. However, like before, XRP’s price has failed to maintain its position above this level, and the crypto now finds itself trading around $0.48. As McBride noted on social media, nothing significant will happen to XRP’s price until Judge Torres makes her decision. This is in relation to the pending decision on whether the sale of XRP to institutional investors qualifies as the sale of securities. According to the former Ripple director, a clear judgment from the judge would finally enable institutional investors to decide their stance on Ripple and XRP. “Nothing significant is going to happen with the price of XRP until Judge Torres makes her decision,” McBride said. “This could open up the door for US institutions working with Ripple to ‘flip the switch’,” he continued. I think I’ve mentioned this before. Nothing significant is going to happen with the price of XRP until Judge Torres makes her decision. So anyone expecting anything different is delusional. The next big piece of this is clear legislation in the US. Hopefully that is on the way… — Sean McBride (@seanmcbride16) June 11, 2024 What Will It Take For XRP Price To Break Out of Its Slump? Before XRP can truly break out of its slump, the lawsuit with the SEC must be resolved. As long as the case drags on, uncertainty will hang over the token and suppress the price. A settlement or victory for Ripple would remove this roadblock and likely send the price of XRP surging. Of course, XRP would need to outperform the market to compensate for lost ground over the past three years. However, a loss could deal a major blow to XRP and cause the price to plummet further.

Crypto analyst Chad Steingraber has made an ultra-bullish price prediction for the XRP price, stating that the crypto token’s price could rise to three figures. The analyst also outlined when this price target will be attained. XRP Will Hit $250 In This Market Cycle Steingraber mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that XRP will reach $250 by 2025, which he believes will represent the market top for the crypto token in this bull run. He made this prediction while stating that Bitcoin and Ethereum will hit $250,000 and $25,000 in 2025, which will also be their market top. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Gives Reasons Why A Face-Melting Bull Run Is On The Horizon Steingraber has previously provided several reasons why he is so bullish on XRP and believes the crypto token could attain such heights. He once alluded to a potential XRP ETF as one factor that could trigger significant price surges for XRP. He explained that an XRP ETF would give the crypto token an added utility as fund issuers for the XRP ETFs will direct their assets into an institutional liquidity hub. He believes an XRP ETF will drive more demand for the crypto token, ultimately driving up its price when a supply shock occurs. Steingraber also believes that the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) lawsuit against Ripple is one of the factors suppressing XRP’s price up until now. He had earlier claimed that XRP’s price wasn’t going up because new money wasn’t flowing into its ecosystem and affirmed that the crypto token would likely see an influx of new money once the SEC’s case against Ripple is over. Steingraber isn’t the only one who believes that XRP’s price could skyrocket and climb to three figures once the lawsuit ends. Crypto analyst JackTheRippler also predicted that XRP would rise above $100 once the case ends. The analyst even gave a more bullish prediction than Steingraber’s, stating that XRP hitting $10,000 was achievable after the lawsuit. Crypto analyst CryptoBull also predicted that XRP could reach three figures, rallying 28,900% to $154. XRP Price To $7.5 In The Meantime Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has suggested that XRP rising to $7.5 is the price target to watch before the crypto token reaches the heights analysts like Steingraber predict. In an X post, he stated that “$7.5 is target number 1.” Egrag went on to outline how this move to $7.5 will likely take place. Related Reading: Litecoin Sees Massive 75% Surge In Major Metric – Can This Trigger A Rally To $200? He stated he is highly convinced that XRP will break the white triangle (on the chart he shared) and hit the measured move at $1.5. From there, he expects XRP to make its move to $7.5. However, he warned that the Fib 1.618 zone where $7.5 is situated is “critical” and that a lot of profit-taking will happen there, suggesting that XRP could significantly decline once it reaches such heights. Egrag added that the next targets for XRP will be “mid-double digits near Fib 2.414 & 2.618” if XRP archives a weekly close above Fib 1.618.

Ripple has again raised concerns in the XRP community following its recent XRP sale. This comes amid XRP’s unimpressive price action, which continues to paint a bearish outlook for the crypto token. Ripple Sells 150 Million Tokens On-chain data shows that the crypto firm offloaded 150 million XRP tokens ($78 million) on June 7. These tokens formed part of the 1 billion XRP tokens, which were recently unlocked as part of its monthly escrow unlock, which is set to continue until 2027. As expected, this sale has raised concerns, considering the impact many believe it could have on the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin On The Verge As Global Liquidity Nears New $100 Million ATH Moreover, this sale follows Ripple’s recent unusual transactions, when the crypto firm moved 3 billion XRP tokens ($1.5 billion) across different wallets in the space of 30 minutes. However, crypto analyst Michael Nardolillo explained that those transactions were mainly internal movements and escrow re-lockups. This recent sale of $150 million XRP tokens will again raise the theory of price suppression by Ripple. While it has been revealed that the crypto firm’s XRP sales have no impact on prices on crypto exchanges, it undoubtedly adds to the bearish sentiment that crypto investors already have towards the token. Furthermore, Ripple’s XRP sales lead to a positive supply shock, with more XRP tokens being injected into circulation. Such development tends to have a negative impact on a crypto’s price and could lead to significant price declines. It is also worth mentioning that this sale comes at a time when the market sentiment towards XRP is as bearish as it can be. This is partly thanks to the fact that the crypto token remains one of the worst-performing crypto assets since the year began, with a year-to-date (YTD) loss of over 18%. XRP Will Still Be Great Despite XRP’s unimpressive price action, crypto analysts have continued to predict the crypto token will still have its moment when it will experience that price breakout and make a parabolic move to the upside. Crypto analyst Javon Marks recently mentioned that the XRP is about to make a name if it hadn’t already done so. Related Reading: Is A Bitcoin Crash Below $50,000 Still Possible? Crypto Analyst Shares The Possibilities He made this statement while revealing that a Hidden Bullish Divergence setup had formed on the altcoin’s chart. He claimed that XRP’s price went up by over 63,000% in less than a year the last time this happened. He suggested that such a move could be on the horizon again with XRP at its breaking point. Meanwhile, Crypto analyst CryptoBull also recently predicted that the cryptocurrency could enjoy a 28,900% rally and rise to $154. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.49, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has revealed a bullish pattern that recently formed on the XRP price chart. The analyst also revealed how high the crypto token could rise once it makes this move to the upside. Inverted Hammer Forms On The Chart Egrag highlighted an Inverted hammer that had formed on XRP’s chart while noting how bullish this was for the crypto token. He claimed that last month’s candle formation showed a 75% Inverted Hammer at the bottom, which is “super bullish” for XRP. Egrag believes this is an “amazing sign” that the altcoin could rise to $0.75 soon enough. He added that July will be a “month of fireworks” for XRP. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Surge To $71,000 Sends All Long-Term Holders Into Profit, What About Short-Term Holders? XRP’s possible rise to $0.75 is significant, as Egrag had previously highlighted that price level as a “critical breakout point” for XRP. Back then, he mentioned that XRP was “poised” to achieve this breakout in the coming weeks. He suggested an XRP breakout above that price level would send it to $1.5, and the crypto token could enjoy a further upward trend to $7.5. Crypto analyst CasiTrades also recently provided a bullish narrative for the altcoin. She stated that the crypto token is maintaining its bullish momentum and bouncing off the 0.382 retracement level. The analyst added that XRP has finally flipped a trendline that had acted as resistance for months to support. Meanwhile, CasiTrades highlighted $0.54 as a price level to keep an eye on, stating that XRP could encounter resistance at that level. She suggested that the coin could enjoy a parabolic move if it breaks out above that price level, remarking that it is a “crucial level to watch for a potential breakthrough.”CasiTrades previously raised the possibility of the altcoin rising to as high as $80 when it breaks out from a consolidation triangle. XRP Is On The Brink Of A Parabolic Rally Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto recently suggested that XRP was on the brink of a parabolic rally. He stated in an X post that the token is currently at the level it was in 2017 and 2020, which triggered a “massive rally” for the crypto token on both occasions. In 2017, the altcoin enjoyed a price gain of 61,000% in 280 days. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Open Interest Returns To February 2024 Levels, What Happened Last Time? The chart that Mikybull Crypto shared showed that the altcoin could rise to as high as $5. Meanwhile, crypto analyst XRP Captain claimed that the altcoin was ready for the “massive breakout.” He claimed that XRP is in the “middle of apex. ” Crypto analyst Jaydee also agreed with XRP Captain that a breakout is imminent, stating that “it’s coming,” although he claimed that “beginners” will miss out on the run. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.52, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Despite the unimpressive XRP price action, this crypto analyst has predicted that the crypto token could witness a God candle that will send its price to unprecedented heights. The analyst also suggested when this parabolic move will happen. XRP Price To Rise To $30 Soon Enough Crypto analyst DustyBC shared a chart on his X (formerly Twitter) platform in which he predicts that XRP will experience a God candle that will send its price to 30, representing about a 4,000% price gain for the crypto token. Interestingly, the crypto token suggested that this move will happen sometime this year. Related Reading: Bitcoin, Ethereum On Exchanges Drop To New Lows, What A Supply Squeeze Would Mean For The Market DustyBC’s prediction is based on a symmetrical triangle, showing how XRP has been consolidating for years and is well primed for a breakout. Given how lengthy this consolidation has been (since 2017), the analyst believes that such a parabolic rise is possible. Crypto analyst CasiTrades also thinks that XRP can record such price gains. She mentioned in an X post that XRP is about to “complete its 2245-day triangle,” which could present a chance of a lifetime. She had previously raised the possibility of XRP rising to as high as $80 when it breaks out of the consolidation triangle. CasiTrades also recently mentioned that XRP had consolidated even further over the past few days, claiming that a breakout was imminent. The crypto analyst also alluded to XRP’s “interesting” Relative Strength Index (RSI) as another reason to be bullish on the crypto token. She acknowledged that XRP’s price hasn’t changed much but noted that there are signs for an imminent breakout. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto also recently revealed that XRP’s RSI has dropped to its lowest in history while highlighting how bullish this was for the crypto token. XRP currently has a low RSI, which suggests that the crypto token is undervalued and could rise soon enough to attain its fair value. Meanwhile, Egrag charted two paths that XRP could follow as it rises to a price target of $7.5. XRP Is About To Make A Name For Itself Crypto analyst Javon Marks recently suggested that XRP is about to go parabolic, stating, “If XRP hasn’t already made a name for itself, it sure looks as if it’s about to do so now.” He made this statement while revealing a Hidden Bullish Divergence that had formed on XRP’s chart. He claimed that XRP saw a price gain of over 63,000% in less than one year the last time this setup formed on the charts. The crypto analyst added that such price gain is possible again, with XRP currently at its breaking point. Marks had previously predicted that XRP could enjoy a 33,000% price gain, sending it above $200. Related Reading: Can Bitcoin Rise 150% From Here?

The XRP price has been a constant point of worry for investors given that the altcoins seems to be frozen in time. The last time that the coin rallied was in the 2017-2018 bull and even though there has been another massive bull market since then, XRP failed to follow the rest of the market. While expectations for the altcoin have dropped dramatically, one analyst believes that the cryptocurrency could finally have its time in the spotlight, revealing targets for when this does happen. Why XRP Could Be Gearing Up For A Bull Rally Crypto analyst CryptoManiac101 took to the TradingView platform to share a rather interesting view of the XRP price going forward. The analyst pointed out a number of indicators that suggest that the altcoin may finally be getting ready to move. One of the major points in the analysis was the price levels and movements so far. Related Reading: Bitcoin Enters Dreaded ‘Chop Season’ – What Does This Mean For Price? The crypto analyst points out a convergence of three different moving averages in the year 2024. At the end of this is the formation of a symmetrical triangle pattern outlined in the chart. Furthermore, the convergence, which is happening around $0.51, suggests that there is consolidation going on. Now, usually, consolidation will come with accumulation, which is often good for the price, and the analyst points out that interest is rising. Going further, the crypto analyst points to the performance of XRP over the last 11 years. This begins from 2013 and moves to present time, showing how the performance of XRP has actually flattened during this time. “Significant historical price spikes, particularly in 2017 and 2018, are visible, which is what we are looking at for 2024 and 2025 years as we see some movement consistency between the two cycles,” the analyst stated. With interesting rising, these indicators could point toward an important breakout for the price. If this happens, the crypto analyst has outlined targets for how high the price could go. How High Can The Price Go? One major factor in the analyst’s prediction is the fact that such historical patterns have been previously bullish for XRP to have returned. The analyst points out that a rally usually breaks out when these patterns have seen a 75% completion. However, the current patterns have reached 88.93% completion, suggesting that a breakout is long overdue for the XRP price. Related Reading: Chainlink Is Not Done: Analyst Predicts 300% Rise Against Bitcoin In the event of a rally, the crypto analyst expects an at least 800% increase in price above $4. This future prediction is based on the potential of a breakout from the symmetrical triangle forming at the convergence of the three moving averages. In this case, the analyst expects a rally to $4.5 as a starting point.
Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has provided another bullish narrative for the XRP price. This time, he outlined two scenarios that could occur and cause the crypto token to experience a breakout, potentially sending it as high as $7.5. This comes with the recent revelation that XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has reached its lowest ever. Time For An XRP Price Breakout Egrag Crypto shared a chart in an X (formerly Twitter) post that showed that the crypto token could rise to $7.5 when it accomplishes the breakout, which the crypto analyst claimed is imminent. Egrag highlighted a “White Triangle” breakout on the chart, which he stated is “aligning perfectly” with the previous charts and the Fib 0.702 to 0.786 levels. He added that the measured move is projected to be between $1.2 and $1.5 before XRP could take off and climb to $7.5. Egrag further remarked that the “critical breakout point” for XRP is around $0.70 and $0.7’5 and that the crypto token is “poised” to achieve this breakout in the “next couple of weeks. Egrag warned that XRP could still experience significant declines before then, stating that a retest of the breakout might be on the cards. However, he is convinced that a “MEGA RUN for XRP is on the horizon.” Meanwhile, for the second scenario of how XRP could achieve its impending breakout, Egrag Crypto highlighted an ‘Atlas Line’ on the XRP chart and claimed that the breakout point for XRP is at $0.6799. He noted that XRP is still holding strong “like a boss” on the atlas line, suggesting it shouldn’t be long before it breaks above $0.6799. In the meantime, $0.5777 and $0.5000 are key price levels that XRP holders should monitor. Egrag labels them resistance and support levels for XRP’s upward trend along this atlas line. XRP Hits Its Lowest RSI In History Egrag revealed in a more recent X post that XRP’s RSI is at its lowest ever. He noted that this assertion was based on the monthly time frame and shared a chart to prove his claim. Following his revelation, Egrag highlighted how bullish this was for XRP, stating, “If this isn’t a positive signal, I don’t know what is.” The chart he shared showed that XRP’s Relative Strength Index is at 38, which is indeed bullish for the crypto token. Low RSI levels are considered a buy signal since they suggest that the coin is oversold and undervalued. Therefore, crypto investors might be looking to accumulate XRP, with these buy orders expected to trigger a move to the upside for the crypto token. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.52, up almost 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

In a post on social media, Bill Morgan, a leading pro-XRP attorney, reiterated allegations of biased regulatory practices by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), accusing them of showing undue favoritism towards Ethereum at the expense of XRP. This assertion aligns with a broader accusation involving former SEC official William Hinman, which is now culminating […]
As a recent Messari report outlined, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) showcased notable progress during the first quarter of 2024. The decentralized public blockchain, which facilitates the transfer of XRP, fiat currencies, and other digital assets, has demonstrated substantial activity. XRP Ledger Burn Rate Slows Amid Low Fees During Q1 2024, XRP, the native token of the XRPL, secured its position as the sixth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, reaching $34.1 billion (currently $29M). Despite a slight price decrease, XRP’s circulating market cap witnessed a 1.3% growth quarter-over-quarter (QoQ). Related Reading: Forget Fear, Embrace Greed? Bitcoin Soars As Sentiment Turns Red Hot The XRPL employs a deflationary mechanism by systematically burning transaction fees. This process exerts downward pressure on the total supply of XRP, which stands at 100 billion tokens. Since the inception of the XRP Ledger, approximately 12 million XRP have been burned. However, the low burn rate during Q1 can be attributed to the network’s relatively low transaction fees (less than $0.002 per transaction). Additionally, 1 billion XRP is released from escrow to Ripple each month, with any unutilized tokens being placed into new escrow contracts. This pattern will continue until the remaining approximately 45 billion XRP becomes liquid; at this point, the deflationary pressure from burned fees will be the primary variable affecting supply. While XRP’s price decreased marginally 0.1% QoQ, lagging behind the overall crypto market’s 63.0% increase, it rose 14.8% year over year (YoY). Inscription-Fueled Transactions Propel XRPL Daily Payments The report highlights that revenue in the XRPL is measured as total fees collected by the network, which are subsequently burned, contributing to the redistribution of wealth from transaction fee spenders to XRP holders. Network activity showed significant growth, with active addresses and transactions increasing by 37% and 113% QoQ, respectively. A substantial portion of transaction activity on the XRPL stemmed from inscriptions, a transaction type popularized in early 2023. Over 30 million transactions were sent to a single account by approximately 45,000 accounts engaged in inscription-related activities. According to Messari, inscriptions, facilitated by XRP Script, played a key role in driving the surge in daily payments, which soared 350% QoQ to 2 million transactions.

Lastly, the report notes that the XRP Ledger blockchain witnessed a net increase of 150,000 accounts, driving the total number of accounts up by 3.1% to 5.15 million in Q1. However, new addresses decreased 12.4% QoQ to 183,000, primarily due to the high number of addresses created in Q4, coinciding with the inception of inscription activity. As of press time, XRP is valued at $0.5279, down 2.5% in the past 24 hours and 3.5% in the past seven days, which is in line with the broader market trend.

In an exchange on X, Ripple‘s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), David Schwartz, also known as JoelKatz, responded to queries about the strikingly similar price movements of XRP and Stellar (XLM). This discussion has brought to light not just the intertwined market dynamics of these two major cryptocurrencies but also the complex factors influencing their valuation. Curious Correlation Between XRP And XLM Schwartz candidly addressed a post by Good Morning Crypto, who highlighted a long-term price chart comparison between XRP and XLM since 2014, questioning the “unnatural price symmetry” and the potential for both to “breakout together during this bull run.” Schwartz replied, “I genuinely don’t know. The thing that I think is most likely is that both prices are driven primarily by factors completely outside their ecosystems.” Related Reading: Ready For Liftoff: XRP Price Primed To Skyrocket Before November However, Schwartz also acknowledged conflicting evidence to his theory. When pressed for specifics regarding the unusual correlation, he pointed to the significant event of Stellar burning half of their token supply, which surprisingly did not impact their price or disrupt the price correlation pattern with XRP. “The one bit that’s the most convincing to me is that Stellar burned half their supply and there wasn’t so much as a blip on their price chart or any real deviation from XRP’s price correlation,” Schwartz explained. This dialogue underscores a broader narrative within the cryptocurrency sector, where XRP and XLM share not only a founder in Jed McCaleb but also similar technological frameworks aimed at streamlining cross-border payments. Despite these overlaps, the absence of a price impact post-Stellar’s token burn has been a particularly puzzling aspect for analysts and the crypto community alike. Both XRP and XLM have historically mirrored each other’s price movements, potentially due to overlapping use cases, investor behaviors, and market perceptions. As financial tools facilitating quick, cross-border transactions with minimal fees, both have attracted similar investor bases looking for alternatives to traditional banking hurdles. Related Reading: XRP Price Consolidates, Gearing Up for Its Next Major Breakout Market sentiment plays a significant role. News impacting one of the cryptos can quickly spill over to the other due to their perceived substitutability. Additionally, regulatory shifts in one can inadvertently sway investor sentiment towards the other. Popular pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan commented on this, “I don’t know what causes it but it shows how useless Ripple burning the escrow would be. Stellar burned XLM and Ripple did not burn XRP and it had no impact on the symmetry. Same for the lawsuit. No impact overall. Stellar was not sued. Factors external to either blockchain and not specific to either Ripple or Stellar must be the explanation.” The ongoing debate includes speculation about whether XRP and XLM will jointly make significant gains in an anticipated bull run. Historical price patterns suggest a high level of correlation, but as Schwartz indicates, external factors such as global market conditions and macroeconomic factors are likely at play. At press time, XRP price stood at $0.5282. Featured image created with DALL·E, chart from TradingView.com
US-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has made a significant move by reopening XRP trading for New York users despite the ongoing legal dispute between the decentralized platform Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This decision marks a bold step for Coinbase, which had previously suspended XRP trading following the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple. […]
A crypto analyst has predicted the next price target for the XRP price, noting that the altcoin was nearing a key point that could potentially trigger a major bull rally for the cryptocurrency. XRP Price Roadmap to $20 In an X (formerly Twitter) post on May 20, Crypto analyst, Javon Marks forecasted a strong bullish breakout for the XRP price in this market cycle. Marks explained that XRP was steadily approaching a critical converging point, with an emerging Relative Strength Index (RSI) pattern indicating strong underlying momentum for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Institutional Investors Pour $942 Million Into Bitcoin, Will This Trigger A Rally To $80,000? An RSI is a technical tool used to measure the speed and change of price movements in a cryptocurrency. It is also used to determine the short-term momentum of a cryptocurrency’s market. Sharing a price chart depicting the XRP price movements from 2018 to 2025, the analyst predicts that XRP’s closing converging point and RSI pattern are signaling a massive breakout to new all-time highs. He has projected a “conservative” target that could see XRP’s price soaring between $15 and $20 in the coming weeks. Additionally, XRP’s present price actions are displaying a bullish pattern reminiscent of the one observed during its mega rally to a new all-time high of $3.84 in January 2018. Marks noted that for XRP to reach the ambitious $20 price target, the cryptocurrency would have to witness a massive surge of 2,000% to 3,000%, translating to 20X to 36X from its current price. Concluding his analysis, the crypto analyst disclosed that all the factors and indicators were pointing towards a potential rise in XRP’s price. However, the exact timing of when this will occur is uncertain. More Bullish Projections For XRP XRP has been drawing significant attention from market analysts, who are projecting increasingly bullish price movements for the cryptocurrency. Despite its struggles to reach the coveted $1, the XRP price has still exhibited some strength as it continues to maintain a price position around the $0.5 mark. Related Reading: Crypto Market Liquidations Top $330 Million In 24 Hours With Ethereum In The Lead Prominent XRP supporter and crypto analyst identified as ‘JackTheRippler,’ on X predicts that XRP is poised for an explosive rally after years of accumulation. Sharing a price chart illustrating XRP’s price action from 2017 to 2024, the crypto analyst revealed indicators that suggested a potential rise to new highs. Another XRP community member and crypto analyst identified as ‘XRP Captain,’ has also confirmed a potential breakout for the cryptocurrency. He disclosed that XRP’s next target will likely be $0.7 before June 2024. At the time of writing, XRP’s price is trading at $0.53, marking a decline of 1.06% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. Over the past seven days, the cryptocurrency has performed relatively well, recording a series of minor rallies that contributed to a 6.67% gain. A bullish breakout for XRP will require sustained momentum and increased trading activities from investors. Currently, the cryptocurrency’s daily trading volume has not demonstrated significant growth, indicating only a slight increase of 3.25% in the last 24 hours.

On-chain data shows that XRP and Cardano whales have been accumulating recently, which can be bullish for the prices of these altcoins. XRP & Cardano Whales Have Gone On A Buying Spree Recently As analyst Ali explained in a new post on X, XRP whales have seen their holdings go up over the last couple of weeks. The indicator of relevance here is the “Supply Distribution” from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, which tells us about the total amount of assets the different market groups hold. Related Reading: Bitcoin Not Out Of Danger Yet, NVT Golden Cross Warns The whale cohort is of interest in the current discussion. These investors hold between 1 million and 10 million XRP in their balance. At the current exchange rate, these amounts are worth around $0.52 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Clearly, these are pretty significant holdings, which is why whales are considered influential in the market. Now, here is a chart that shows how the Supply Distribution of the entities belonging to this XRP group has looked like recently: The graph shows that while the XRP price has been stuck in consolidation during the last couple of weeks, the whales have been viewing the opportunity as a buying one. These humongous investors have scooped up over 110 million cryptocurrency tokens (equivalent to almost $57 million) inside this window. This buying scale isn’t particularly massive, but the fact that these investors have been backing the coin through this poor period should be an optimistic sign. It would also appear that XRP isn’t the only one on the large holders’ radar recently. Market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock revealed in an X post that Cardano has also seen a significant buying push. In the above chart, IntoTheBlock displays the holdings of the Cardano investors, which are between 100 million and 1 billion ADA. This range’s bounds convert to about $45.3 million and $453 million, respectively, so these whales would be much more massive than the XRP ones just discussed. As is apparent from the graph, these ADA entities have expanded their holdings over the past month. More particularly, their supply has grown by 11% in this period, which, when considering the scale of the total holdings of this group, is an enormous increase. According to the analytics firm, these Cardano whales now control 6.71% of the entire circulating supply of the cryptocurrency all by themselves. Related Reading: Bitcoin Hash Ribbons Form Capitulation Signal: What It Means This latest buying push towards XRP and ADA from the whales simultaneously could be a potential sign that these large entities are expecting an altcoin rally soon. Given that Cardano has seen it happen at a much more significant scale, the coin could likely see better returns than XRP if a surge does happen. XRP Price XRP has displayed stale price action recently, as its price has continued to move sideways around the $0.52 level.

A crypto analyst identified as ‘Egrag Crypto’ has recently taken to X (formerly Twitter) to issue a warning to XRP investors regarding a potential bear market that could trigger a massive correction for the price of XRP. XRP Holders Prepare For More Declines In 2025 According to Egrag Crypto, XRP is expected to enter a steep bear market stage in 2025. The analyst based his predictions on a technical analysis tool he called the “Gaussian Channel,” revealing three distinct technical phases for XRP, including a Green A, Green B and Green C phase. Related Reading: Ethereum Bull Flag Breakout: ATH On The Horizon As Major Metrics Turn Bullish He noted that the bearish phase in Green A had already been completed. However, the Green B phase is expected to end by June 2025, and Green C is anticipated to conclude by January 2025. The analyst further emphasized that the aforementioned dates do not represent cycle tops but indicate the beginning of a “deep bear market phase.” He also revealed that the Gaussian Channel was a technical analysis tool used to visualize price movements of cryptocurrencies around a mean average price. The purpose of the tool is to help identify volatility, risks, and certain support and resistance levels. Additionally, analyzing the historical trends and durations of the green phases provided by the Gaussian Channel provides valuable insights that can be used to interpret future price movements. Presently, the price of XRP has remained relatively unchanged for the past few months, primarily consolidating around the $0.5 mark without witnessing any significant momentum. This lackluster performance can be attributed to the ongoing legal challenges the cryptocurrency has faced with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the past four years. While Egrag crypto anticipates more bearish sentiment for XRP in the coming year, the crypto analyst also suggests that the next 3 to 12 months could present critical trading opportunities as the market evolves. He cautions XRP holders to remain vigilant and prepared for potential market volatility, which could lead to a “life-changing window.” Analyst Highlights XRP’s Resilience In a previous X post, Egrag Crypto maintained an optimistic outlook for the price of XRP. He emphasized the cryptocurrency’s strength and resilience, noting that XRP was indicating strong bullish signals in its price fundamentals. Related Reading: Bitcoin Analyst Reveals Why $57,938 Is The Level To Watch This Week He revealed that if XRP can maintain a critical position within the “Launching Channel,” a trading pattern identified by partial wicking candles and ascending consolidation, the cryptocurrency could see its value potentially surging to $6.4. Related Reading: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Buy The Blood, Snatch Up 70,000 BTC At the time of writing, the price of XRP is trading at $0.51, reflecting an increase of 3.51%, over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. Egrag Crypto has advised the broader XRP community to remain “calm and steady,” as the next three to six months could present significant opportunities for investors. Chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analysts continue to be super bullish on the future of the XRP price despite its poor performance in the past. However, while some analysts have predicted price targets that, to many, seem unrealistic, others have set more conservative targets. This is the case of crypto analyst Alan Santana, who just unveiled his 6-month prediction for the XRP price. XRP Price Is Ready For A Bullish Wave Alan Santana took to the TradingView website to share his latest analysis on the XRP price. This prediction is expected to play out over the next six months as the crypto market heads into what is expected to be an explosive bull rally. Related Reading: This Crypto Expert Called The Bitcoin Top in 2021, Now He’s Calling The Bottom In 2024 The crypto analyst believes that in this cycle, the altcoin may find its price moving well ahead of other altcoins. “it is likely to be one of the first to move… One of the first to move big!” the analyst said. Santana also gives reasons for this, one of them being that the waiting period between each bullish wave for the XRP price has elapsed. His analysis showed that the altcoin has usually seen a 6-8-month gap between each bullish wave. However, it had been 308 days since it saw its last bullish wave, which is well over 10 months. This means that the altcoin is more than ready for another bullish wave. He also added, “The fact that XRPUSDT went through a correction and has been consolidating for this long is considered bullish.” Furthermore, the altcoin has been on a bullish trend, recording higher lows. This is usually bullish for any asset as it suggests better support for the price as it moves upward. “Higher lows means that the bulls have the upper hand when it comes to the long-term trajectory of this chart,” Santana explained. XRP Can Move 280% In 2024-2025 The crypto analyst expects a rather rapid bullish wave for the XRP price and stated that he expects this to happen sometime in 2024 and 2025. The main reason behind this is that the accumulation phase for the altcoin is finally coming to an end. This is a sentiment that has also been shared by another crypto analyst known as U-Copy. According to the analyst, the XRP price had been in accumulation for the last seven years, but it has finally come to an end in 2024, and this end in the accumulation phase will lead to a rally. Related Reading: Brace For Impact: Mt. Gox Set To Inject 142,000 BTC And 143,000 Bitcoin Cash Into The Market- Here’s When While U-Copy expects the altcoin to hit a new all-time high price as this accumulation phase comes to an end, which would be an at least 600% move from here, Santana has taken a more conservative stance. The analyst does expect the XRP price to break above $1, but puts the peak around $1.9 and $2. This would mean a 280-300% move from here. “Once it starts going, it will go really strong and for a very long while… People will be wondering, ‘why didn’t I buy when prices were low?’,” the analyst concluded.

XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with Ripple, has been locked in a lengthy period of consolidation, trading between $0.300 and $0.600 for the past seven years. Despite a brief surge during the 2021 bull run that saw XRP reach a three-year high of $1.9 in April, the token has since returned to its range, lacking the bullish momentum to overcome upper resistance levels. However, some crypto analysts are now predicting a major uptrend for XRP in the coming months, potentially propelling it to new heights. Analysts Anticipate XRP Breakout A technical analyst using the pseudonym “U-COPY” on the social media site X (formerly Twitter) suggests that XRP could experience significant movement between May 15 and August. U-COPY points out that XRP has been slowly moving up from its previous low at $0.46 and is nearing the end of a long triangle formation, which has been in accumulation since 2018. The analyst believes that XRP’s real potential will be revealed in the fully formed bull cycle, with the token possibly experiencing substantial growth by the end of the year. Related Reading: Brace For Impact: Mt. Gox Set To Inject 142,000 BTC And 143,000 Bitcoin Cash Into The Market- Here’s When Supporting this bullish outlook, another analyst, Armando Pantoja, proposes that the crypto bull run could begin in September or October 2025, with XRP potentially reaching a price of $0.75. Pantoja further suggests that if former US President Trump wins the election and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) eases its stance on cryptocurrencies, XRP could be propelled to higher levels. This change in regulatory dynamics, combined with the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC, may increase the likelihood of XRP gaining approval for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) similar to Bitcoin. Pantoja outlines a price range of $1-2 for an XRP ETF announcement in early 2025. If interest rates are cut multiple times during the same period, XRP could potentially reach $5-10. Ultimately, Pantoja predicts the possibility of XRP hitting $10-$20 by the fourth quarter of 2025 or the first quarter of 2026. ‘Buy the Dip’ Opportunity? According to market intelligence platform Santiment, The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has recently witnessed a notable increase in the movement of dormant tokens, signaling a potential shift in market dynamics for the token. Coinciding with the opening of May, the company’s Token Age Consumed metric reveals a spike in the transfer of old coins, reminiscent of a similar occurrence in April, just before a significant downturn in the market. During that period, XRP experienced a sharp decline in value, dropping by 16%. However, in contrast to the previous event, Santiment suggests that there is a “compelling argument” that this current surge in old coin movement might be attributed to the interest of key stakeholders looking to “buy the dip.” Related Reading: This Crypto Expert Called The Bitcoin Top in 2021, Now He’s Calling The Bottom In 2024 Furthermore, it is worth noting the growing open interest in exchanges, which has recently reached a three-week high. This uptick in open interest indicates increased active positions in XRP, potentially reflecting growing market participation and heightened trading activity. Considering these factors together—the surge in dormant token activity, the potential buy-the-dip interest from key stakeholders, and the rising open interest on exchanges—there appears to be a shift in sentiment surrounding XRP. At press time, the seventh-largest cryptocurrency trades at $0.5020, down over 7% in the past week alone and 1% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView.com

A crypto analyst has predicted a substantial bullish surge for the the XRP price in the future. According to the analyst, XRP is gearing up for a substantial increase to $33.5 from an initial price of $0.50. He expects the price of the cryptocurrency to explode by 6600% in this current market cycle. Analyst Forecasts Exponential Rise In XRP Price In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, a crypto analyst identified as ‘Egrag Crypto,’ revealed a series of bullish price targets for XRP in the near future. The analyst focused his predictions on a technical analysis called “the Line of Hestia.” Related Reading: US Mega Banks JP Morgan And Wells Fargo Unveil Bitcoin Exposure As BTC Drops To $60,000 Egrag Crypto’s latest findings suggest that XRP could rise to $33.5 if it touches the Line of Hestia, a technical indicator featuring an ascending trend line which signals a potential upsurge for the price of a cryptocurrency. According to the analyst, “Historical data indicates that every time the XRP price touches the “Line of Hestia,” it experiences significant price pumps.” This implies that there may be a correlation between XRP’s bullish price movements and the ascending trend line. Egrag Crypto also revealed that following this historical pattern, XRP has witnessed pumps ranging from 6600%,1444%, 100%, 80%, and 171%. Given the established trend, Egrag Crypto predicts XRP’s ascent to new all-time highs. He calculated the average percentage increase of XRP’s price each time it touched the Line of Hestia, dividing the sum by the total number of occurrences, which is five. Using this data, the crypto analyst estimates that if XRP were to experience a 6600% increase, its future price would be $33.50. Similarly, he calculated new prices for XRP based on the previous percentages. It’s important to note that the price of XRP, at the time of writing, is trading at $0.5. The cryptocurrency has been recording considerable declines over the past year, consolidating around the $0.5 price mark for months. According to CoinMarketCap, XRP has also recorded a 7.35% decrease over the past seven days and a 0.08% decline in the last 24 hours. Although Egrag Crypto has remained optimistic about XRP’s future price, other crypto community members have expressed skepticism over the analyst’s ambitious forecast. A few community members have denied the prediction, emphasizing that the cryptocurrency’s surge to $33.5 during this cycle was highly unlikely. Possible Price Correction Ahead Of Projected Surge In one of his most recent X posts, Egrag Crypto disclosed that XRP could witness a major price correction before experiencing a significant rally. The analyst has urged crypto investors to remain cautious of the cryptocurrency unless the XRP/BTC ratio closes above the $0.00010 threshold. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Bottom In? Buy The Dip Sentiment Erodes Amid Drop Toward $60,000 Egrag Crypto anticipates a potential 45% decline for XRP/BTC, emphasizing that this substantial price drop could indicate a bottom between $0.0000055 and $0.0000077. However, he also disclosed that overcoming resistance at $0.00001 would be crucial for a rebound in XRP.
