THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

The crypto market is buzzing after the launch of the first U.S. spot XRP ETFs, a development that has injected fresh institutional energy into the asset.

XRP's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview XRP ETFs Ignite Institutional Momentum The launch of XRP ETFs in November 2025 marked a historic moment for the asset. Canary Capital’s XRPC debuted with over $58 million in first-day volume, the strongest ETF opening among hundreds launched this year. Franklin Templeton has now filed its Form 8-A to list the Franklin XRP ETF on NYSE Arca, signaling that another major player is just days away from going live. This influx of institutional interest mirrors the early phases of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF rollouts, characterized by short-term volatility followed by broader adoption. Though XRP’s price consolidated around the $2.12–$2.17 zone after the initial spike, analysts argue that ETF inflows operate with settlement lags through OTC desks. In other words, the actual impact on market price may not be realized until later. Can XRP Truly Compete With Ethereum’s Dominance? Despite XRP’s explosive year, marked by record utility, rising XRPL adoption, and Ripple’s $500 million strategic investment, the asset still faces a steep climb if it hopes to overtake Ethereum. Ethereum remains firmly in second place with a $373 billion market cap, supported by a massive ecosystem of decentralized applications, smart contracts, and tokenized assets. XRP, currently around $129 billion, operates on a network optimized for payments rather than programmable applications. Analysts note that while XRP’s institutional use cases are deepening, particularly in cross-border settlement, tokenization, and banking infrastructure, the lack of a native smart-contract layer limits its ability to mirror Ethereum’s developer-driven demand. For now, experts say that overtaking Ethereum is unlikely in the short to medium term. But with expanding utility, ETF-driven accumulation, and growing adoption in Japan, the U.S., and global banks, XRP’s market cap could still climb substantially. Price Outlook: Volatility Now, Bigger Moves Later From a technical standpoint, XRP is sitting at a critical support zone near $2.12, repeatedly testing the 0.382 Fibonacci level. Selling pressure remains present, with capital outflows and lower highs on the chart. Yet open interest has surged from $1 billion to over $6 billion since October, signaling strong trader engagement. Related Reading: Analyst Says You’re Looking At XRP The Wrong Way, Here’s What It Actually Does Long-term forecasts from analysts remain optimistic, with some projecting possible runs toward $6–$25 if ETF inflows intensify and liquidity tightens. As November and December usher in multiple ETF listings, XRP’s next major move will likely be shaped by how quickly institutional allocations scale.

A famous trader is betting on a significant XRP price crash amid this recent market downtrend. The altcoin continues to struggle despite the recent launch of Canary’s XRP ETF, with popular analyst Ali Martinez suggesting it could soon drop below the psychological $2 level.  Famous Trader Opens $27 Million Short Position On XRP In an X post, the on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that a famous trader is shorting the market again, opening a 20x short on XRP worth $27.4 million. The trader has also opened short positions of 40x and 10x on Bitcoin and ZEC, respectively, worth $148.5 million and $20.4 million.  Related Reading: Abundance of Catalysts Suggests XRP Price Could Take Off This Week This comes as the XRP price continues to struggle, putting it at risk of a further decline, especially with concerns that Bitcoin may already be in a bear market. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also predicted that XRP could drop to as low as $1.73 if it loses the $2.15 support level.  Meanwhile, XRP continues to face significant selling pressure despite increased institutional adoption through the launch of Canary’s XRP fund, with more XRP ETFs also set to launch. Santiment data shows that whales holding between 1 million and 10 million coins recently sold almost 200 million coins in the space of 48 hours.  This may just be the start of a larger sell-off following Glassnode’s recent revelation. The on-chain analytics platform revealed that the share of XRP supply in profit has fallen to 58.5%, which is the lowest since November 2024, when the price was trading at around $0.53. Glassnode further noted that despite XRP trading 4x higher now, 41.5% of its supply (around 26.5 billion) sits in loss, which it claimed is a “sign of a top-heavy and structurally fragile market”. Macro Structure Points To A Decline To $2.03 Crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that XRP is still likely making its way down to the macro .5 fib support at $2.03. She claimed that the move is playing out perfectly as Wave 2s are corrective and that the choppiness is exactly how the market should behave. The analyst further revealed that the only invalidation of the drop to the $2.03 support is a decisive break above the macro .382 level at $2.41.  Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Has 2 Options Right Now, Reveals Why Investors Win Either Way CasiTrades explained that this $2.41 level remains the line in the sand and that, as long as XRP stays below it, the structure points to a final sweep of $2.03. She also raised the possibility of a drop to the “still-valid” macro target at $1.65, which is the .618 fib level. The analyst noted that Wave 2 corrections commonly reach the .618 and that the longer XRP ranges without breaking resistance, the more probable a drop to that level becomes.  CasiTrades stated that a move to $1.65 would not be bearish, as it would build the kind of momentum needed for a powerful macro Wave 3 to new all-time highs (ATHs). She has predicted that XRP could rally to a new ATH of as high as $10.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.15, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

There’s a growing undercurrent of frustration among crypto investors watching XRP drift lower, seemingly tied to broader swings in the entire market. But a different perspective came to light after a post by Versan Aljarrah, founder of Black Swan Capitalist, who suggested that the entire discussion around XRP’s day-to-day price movement is rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of what the asset actually represents. What XRP Really Does Aljarrah challenged the tendency to judge XRP as if it were a typical speculative crypto asset running on a debt-based system of inflows and hype. His point was that saying XRP keeps dropping assumes it is meant to trade like every other token whose value is tied almost entirely to leverage trading and investor appetite.  Related Reading: Model Shows How XRP Could Hit $24 After ETFs Go Live According to the analyst, XRP’s behavior only appears conventional because it is currently coupled to the wider market for now. He framed its long-term purpose as entirely different.  Instead of functioning primarily as a speculative instrument, the analyst described XRP as a settlement asset designed to assist in resolving debt, improve liquidity pathways, and ultimately step outside the constraints of the system it currently mirrors. This reasoning implies that temporary dips, even deep ones, should not be interpreted as failures of the cryptocurrency but as noise while utility-based value continues to build underneath. Recent Market Events Still Pull XRP Into Short-Term Volatility XRP’s recent price and market cap behavior confirm its tight connection to market sentiment, at least in the near term. The XRP market cap chart shows the drastic decline that the cryptocurrency has faced in recent months. This decline has seen the XRP market cap fall from over $210 billion to around $129 billion at the time of writing. XRP Market Cap. Source: @VersanAljarrah On X That volatility mirrors what has been happening across the wider crypto market, where investor positioning has shifted quickly around ETF expectations, news, and liquidations. In the past week, XRP’s price has pulled back along with Bitcoin and Ethereum due to heavy selling pressure.  Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin Price Could Pump To $110,000 This Week However, speaking of utility-based value, the ecosystem around XRP has quietly been delivering some positive developments that may not yet be fully reflected in price action. Ripple, the company behind XRP, has been making acquisitions and entering into partnerships to boost its adoption. Ripple has spent nearly $4 billion on acquisitions, including recent acquisitions of Hidden Road for $1.25 billion and stablecoin platform Rail for $200 million. Another development is that Ripple Labs expanded its partnership with Thunes in September 2025 to improve its cross-border payment infrastructure.  Momentum is also visible on the ETF front. A Spot XRP ETF launched by Canary Capital on November 13, 2025 pulled in $268 million in inflows so far and was described as the largest crypto-ETF debut of the year.  Further ETF launches are queued: four additional spot XRP ETFs were expected in the study week beginning November 18, 2025 (with one from Franklin Templeton, ticker EZRP, set to launch), which analysts estimate could bring up to $1.2 billion in new capital.

The debut of Canary Capital’s spot-XRP ETF was one of the standout moments for the XRP community this year, bringing the token into the US ETF arena with strong opening volume and heavy attention from traders.  Many holders went into launch week expecting that kind of headline event to push XRP into a sharp rally, especially after waiting years for regulated access in the United States. Instead, price action has stayed relatively muted, leaving a gap between expectations and reality.  In a new 26-minute video shared on X, finance coach Coach JV tried to close that gap, breaking down why XRP has not exploded higher yet and what he believes holders should actually focus on. Coach JV Puts XRP In A Macroeconomic Perspective XRP’s Spot ETF has undoubtedly been a success, considering the amount of inflows it has had in its first two trading days. However, this has yet to translate into a surge in the price of XRP, as many traders had predicted and expected. Related Reading: Analyst Claims XRP Will Flip Bitcoin As These Developments Play Out Instead, XRP’s price action has been highlighted by a downtrend in recent days. A large part of this price downtrend is due to the wider decline in the crypto market. In his breakdown, Coach JV approached the XRP situation from a macroeconomic perspective. Rather than treating the ETF launch as an isolated trigger, he contextualized XRP’s current price behavior within the larger environment that financial markets are dealing with.  A major theme of his outlook was the way people respond to hype. Coach JV stated plainly that the only way is to have discipline and a consistent plan. He did not build his message around chasing short-term excitement or reacting emotionally to price moves. His focus was on having a structure that an individual can stick to, regardless of whether XRP moves fast after the ETF launch or takes longer than many were expecting. Is $5 Next? I Don’t Know Coach JV also addressed one of the most common questions circulating in the community: whether $5 is the next big target for XRP now that an ETF is live.  Related Reading: Analyst Breaks Down Why There Can’t Be 7 Million XRP Holders “Is $5 next? I don’t know; I’m not banking on that, I’m not waiting for it, I believe it’s going to happen at some point, and I have my exit strategy set up,” he said. That tone is now being echoed by others in the community who are pushing back against unrealistic targets. Zach Rector recently reminded his audience that XRP is not heading toward triple-digit prices this year, despite widespread speculation.  Another commentator, known as Xoom on X, made a similar remark, saying XRP will not reach $100 or even $10 on ETF momentum alone. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.18, down by 3.5% in the past 24 hours. It is still too early to conclude how much long-term influence Spot XRP ETFs will have on price, especially with major issuers such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale yet to launch their own offerings.

XRP is facing one of its most challenging moments in recent months as selling pressure accelerates and the broader crypto market slips into a risk-off environment. Bitcoin’s collapse below key psychological levels has dragged altcoins with it, and XRP has not been spared. Analysts are increasingly warning that the market may be entering a bear phase, pointing to tightening liquidity conditions, rising global economic uncertainty, and a sharp decline in investor appetite for risk assets. Related Reading: Ethereum Approaches Historical Accumulation Level – Just 8% Away From LTH Cost Basis What makes XRP’s situation more fragile is the growing number of holders sitting on unrealized losses. On-chain data reveals that many late buyers — particularly those who entered after the ETF announcement and during the previous rally — are now underwater as the price continues to slide. This top-heavy market structure is creating pressure on holders, amplifying sell-side momentum as fear spreads. The macro backdrop is adding fuel to the fire. With global markets adjusting to rate volatility, geopolitical tensions, and tightening dollar liquidity, capital is flowing out of speculative assets. XRP’s price is now caught at a crossroads: either it stabilizes at key support zones and absorbs the panic selling, or a deeper correction unfolds. XRP Supply in Profit Signals Structural Fragility According to new data from Glassnode, XRP’s market structure is weakening significantly as the latest sell-off unfolds. The share of XRP supply currently in profit has fallen to 58.5%, marking its lowest reading since November 2024, when XRP traded at just $0.53. Despite today’s far higher price — around $2.15, nearly four times last year’s level — an alarming 41.5% of the circulating supply remains at a loss. That represents roughly 26.5 billion XRP sitting underwater. This divergence highlights a critical issue: the market has become top-heavy, dominated by investors who entered late into the rally and bought at elevated price levels. These holders are now feeling acute pressure as prices retrace. Making the XRP supply distribution more fragile and increasing the probability of panic-driven selling. Historically, such setups often lead to accelerated downside movement unless strong demand steps in. The fact that so much supply is in the red even at current elevated prices suggests that speculative flows, rather than long-term conviction, fueled the previous surge. As these late buyers face losses, sell pressure can intensify, feeding into a vicious cycle of liquidation. Related Reading: $14B In Stablecoins Minted Since October Crash: Liquidity Returning To Crypto XRP Price Analysis: Testing Critical Support Levels XRP continues to struggle as selling pressure intensifies, with the chart showing a clear downtrend forming since early October. The price is now trading around $2.18, hovering just above a key horizontal support zone that has been tested multiple times throughout the year. Each bounce from this region has grown weaker, suggesting diminishing buyer strength and rising vulnerability to a deeper breakdown. The moving averages reinforce this weakening structure. XRP is trading below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day MAs, with all three beginning to curl downward. A classic sign of trend deterioration. The failed attempt to reclaim the 50-day MA in early November marked a significant shift, as sellers quickly regained control and pushed the price lower. Volume spikes during downswings further confirm that distribution is ongoing. Related Reading: Ethereum Whale Expands Position By 36,437 ETH – Bringing Total To $1.34B Additionally, the lower highs forming since the September peak signal that bulls are losing momentum. Each rally attempt is being sold into faster, and the wick rejections near the $2.50–$2.60 region highlight strong overhead resistance. If XRP loses the current support band, the next liquidity pocket sits near $1.70–$1.80, where buyers previously defended aggressively. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

A new pricing model from Diana, a crypto analyst on X, projects that XRP could climb into the $7–$24 range within 60 days of the ETF launch, driven strictly by inflow pressure and the asset’s constrained liquid supply. The model reportedly relies on supply-absorption math, revealing how ETF-driven demand could shift XRP’s market pricing once XRP ETFs go live. New XRP ETF Inflow Model Maps A Direct Route To $24 Diana’s newly released “XRP ETF Launch Impact Model” outlines a clear, data-driven view on how ETF inflows alone could reprice XRP. Her framework tests multiple launch scenarios involving five to twenty ETFs, each seeded with $10 million to $45 million. Depending on the scale, total inflows range from $50 million to $900 million, absorbing between 0.08% and 1.50% of XRP’s estimated 60-billion-unit liquid supply. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Ethereum Price Is Crashing Again, Can It Breach $3,000? According to Diana’s projections, this level of liquidity absorption pushes XRP into a thirty-day range of $3.00 to $15.00, with the sixty-day window stretching from $3.80 up to $24.00. The top end of the model—where XRP approaches $24—emerges when twenty ETFs launch with maximum seed capital and nearly a billion dollars in early inflows. Diana argues that as issuers acquire XRP to build underlying exposure, the available float tightens, and the resulting supply squeeze forces a natural repricing cycle. However, XRP’s real-time price action tells a different story. Despite the successful debut of the Canary XRP ETF, XRP has failed to respond positively. The latest market data shows the asset trading near $2.14, posting a 13.5% decline over the week. Even so, Diana maintains that early price weakness is typical during ETF rollout phases and believes the projected inflow dynamics still position XRP for a sharp upward revaluation once institutional allocations begin to materialize. The Market Structure Delaying XRP’s Next Major Rally In a separate post, Diana outlined the market pattern she believes has been driving XRP’s recent price behavior. According to her, traders typically buy ahead of an ETF launch to front-run expected demand, creating a pre-launch rally driven by speculation rather than institutional activity. Once the ETF goes live, those early buyers take profit, producing the sharp launch-day dip that often surprises retail investors. Related Reading: What Will Trigger The XRP 1,300% Break To $36 This Bull Cycle? Diana noted that institutional inflows never arrive on day one. Wealth managers move through compliance checks, committee approvals, and allocation cycles, meaning real capital enters the market weeks later. She pointed to Bitcoin’s January 2024 ETF rollout as the clearest example, where the asset fell at launch but later surged to new highs as regulated inflows matured. She argues that XRP is showing the same early-stage pattern now: a weak market following the Canary ETF launch, profit-taking, and a temporary cooling phase. When these delayed inflows eventually begin to accumulate, Diana maintains that they will reinforce an upward pricing dynamic for XRP’s next major climb.

The speculation surrounding a potential BlackRock XRP ETF has surged to new heights. This surge is a direct consequence of the astonishing market debut of the Canary XRPC ETF. Canary XRP ETF’s launch has painted a clear picture of robust institutional and retail demand for a regulated XRP investment product. Why XRPC’s Success Fuels BlackRock Rumors As the speculation around a potential BlackRock XRP ETF is heating up again, the Canary XRPC ETF has delivered one of the strongest launches of the year. An analyst known as Skipper_xrp has noted on X that the newly listed fund stunned the market with over $58 million in first-day trading volume and $245 million in net inflows, outperforming hundreds of ETF debuts of 2025. Related Reading: XRP ETF Completes First Full Day Of Trading, Here’s Why The Community Is Shocked Skipper_xrp mentioned that many supporters in the XRP community still believe that BlackRock might already be quietly experimenting with or even testing the idea of an XRP trust behind closed doors. The momentum has increased further after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse made a statement at the company’s Swell event, highlighting that Ripple’s ongoing collaboration with major traditional financial firms will bring digital asset adoption into regulated global markets. However, with the ETF inflows accelerating and XRP gaining more visibility among institutions, many investors are now arguing that it’s only a matter of time before a heavyweight firm like BlackRock will consider stepping into the XRP space. Understanding XRP’s Long-Term Growth Trajectory Crypto trader Adam_Xrp has also offered some insight on why XRP didn’t moon when the first ETF was launched. According to the expert, the XRP ETF launch was never going to be a flip-the-switch moment. Even with the first XRP ETF going live, price action was building slowly, and the institutional money did not pour in all at once. Rather, it scales over time as confidence and liquidity grow. Related Reading: New XRP ETF Just Dropped, But Will Anything Be Different This Time? Furthermore, the altcoin is still early in the rollout, and more XRP ETFs are scheduled to begin trading. Each new product will increase exposure, volume, and demand. This is how true institutional adoption is slowly progressing. BlackRock has stated that the company is not launching an XRP ETF right now, but this isn’t something they would ignore forever.  However, once the regulatory path is fully cleared and institutional demand strengthens, it’s only a matter of time before the biggest players, like BlackRock, will step into the arena. Adam_Xrp concluded that the altcoin wasn’t supposed to skyrocket overnight. This phase is a gradual process of foundation building as the ecosystem, liquidity expansion, and the institutional framework grow. The expert added that if you expect to get rich overnight, without understanding the long-term game plan, then XRP might not be the right investment for you.

A debate over the XRP Ledger’s (XRPL) economy model has ignited after Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), David Schwartz, directly addressed questions about taxation on the blockchain. Critics have suggested that if XRP holders do not earn from the ecosystem, someone must be collecting a tax. Schwartz’s response challenges this assumption, framing the XRP Ledger as a public utility rather than a profit-generating mechanism for token holders. The debate has since sparked broader conversations about real-world use cases, passive income expectations, and the underlying purpose of the XRPL blockchain.  Ripple CTO Says No Tax On The XRP Ledger  In a post on X social media, Schwartz clarified that the XRP Ledger does not impose a tax on its users. He explained that the ledger allows holders to issue assets, trade, create NFTs, and make payments without central authority extracting value from these financial activities. He also stated that transaction fees and reserves exist solely as anti-spam measures, not as a mechanism for wealth extraction.  Related Reading: Ripple CTO Explains Real Value Of XRP Ledger And Why It Doesn’t Trigger Price Rallies The Ripple CTO emphasized that ownership of XRP does not give anyone the right to collect fees or profits from the ledger itself. He drew a comparison to Bitcoin’s blockchain, highlighting that the XRPL provides similar decentralized functionality while also supporting features such as Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs), stablecoins, and NFTs. These features work without XRP holders needing to profit from the system’s operations.  Schwartz’s remarks on taxes on the XRPL blockchain come after Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, raised questions about who benefits if XRP holders do not earn anything from the ecosystem and the protocol itself does not generate value. In response, other members of the community, including XRPL dUNL validator Vet, emphasized that the absence of a tax encourages developers and users to focus on building meaningful, functional use cases rather than relying on passive income.  XRP’s Utility Outweighs Tax Considerations The XRPL tax debate between Schwartz and Sigel also intersected with discussions about the blockchain’s real-world applications. In a much earlier post, Sigel questioned the blockchain’s relevance, subtly hinting that its supporters overstate its functionality.  Related Reading: XRP Leading A $400 Trillion Revolution? How Ripple’s Tokenization Campaign Is Sparking Utility In response, an XRP community member pointed to the recent collaboration between Ondo Finance, Ripple, and BlackRock, in which the XRP Ledger will be utilized for stablecoin issuance, minting, Treasury asset redemption, and liquidity enhancement in financial markets. While Sigel acknowledged the innovative initiative, he reiterated that these applications do not directly generate revenue for XRP token holders, highlighting a gap between network activity and personal gain.  Schwartz responded by explaining that the value of XRPL stems from enabling financial independence and reducing reliance on intermediaries, rather than providing passive income. He added that focusing on tax collection as a measure of success can overshadow the blockchain’s purpose of promoting open access and meaningful innovation.

According to CryptoWzrd’s latest XRP daily technical outlook, XRPBTC ended the day with a strong bullish close. This renewed strength in the pair could give XRP the momentum it needs to push toward the $2.75 resistance level and potentially extend even higher. Daily Sentiment Mirrors Bitcoin As XRP Closes Slightly Bearish The analysis from CryptoWzrd notes that XRP’s daily candle was in alignment with Bitcoin’s broader market sentiment and closed slightly bearish. This reflects the continued pressure from Bitcoin, which remains a key driver of overall market direction. Despite this bearish close, the XRPBTC pair showed strength by ending the day bullish, signaling a potential shift in momentum. Related Reading: XRP Price Correction Is Far From Over: Bearish Divergence Signals Potential Revisit To $2.05 A continued push higher could drive the pair above the daily lower-high trendline, triggering a more impulsive price reaction. If this breakout materializes, it opens the door for XRP to advance toward the $2.75 resistance region, a level that has now become the next major target for bullish traders. However, Bitcoin’s influence remains a critical factor. Any renewed weakness or sharp downside movement from BTC could easily spill into XRP’s price action. In such a scenario, XRP may find itself retreating toward the $2 support zone, which stands as the next meaningful level of defense if bearish pressure intensifies. CryptoWzrd added that tomorrow’s focus will shift primarily to developments on the lower-time-frame charts. Short-term structure and intraday reactions will be key to spotting potential scalp opportunities. Choppy Intraday Action Signals Market Indecision The analyst observed that XRP’s intraday price action remained relatively choppy, with the market trading within a narrow range. This kind of movement suggests that traders are still waiting for a clearer signal before committing to a strong directional bias. Related Reading: XRP Price Sees Bullish Move, Can Buyers Protect Upside Levels? A key level to watch on the intraday chart is the $2.408 resistance. According to the analysis, a clean move above this threshold could unlock further upside momentum, creating favorable long opportunities as buyers regain control. Such a breakout would signal growing confidence and potentially shift short-term sentiment in XRP’s favor. However, if the price reacts bearishly at that same resistance zone, a rejection from $2.408 would present a short opportunity, indicating that sellers are still protecting that level. This scenario would likely reinforce intraday weakness and keep XRP confined within its current structure. The analyst also warned that any drop below the $2.2550 support level would push the market into a fragile zone where further declines become more probable. For now, patience is essential, as traders must wait for a more mature and organized intraday structure before taking aggressive positions. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com

A recently shared image on X showing the full lineup of pending XRP ETF filings prompted a blunt response from market commentator Robert Ledferd. Instead of offering predictions or excitement, he framed the moment as a straightforward test for the asset, noting that if XRP cannot climb into double-digit territory once this many ETFs are live, the market may end up treating it as a joke. The comment brings into question what price level actually represents meaningful progress once institutional money enters the picture for XRP. Why The Comment Landed Strongly Ledferd reacted to a screenshot listing nearly every major issuer preparing an XRP product, including firms such as Bitwise, Grayscale, Fidelity, VanEck, Invesco, CoinShares, Franklin Templeton, Hashdex, and ARK Invest. The number of issuers alone means that XRP is entering a phase where institutional exposure will no longer be theoretical.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP “Supply Crisis” To Trigger The Next Parabolic Rally The general consensus is that when these ETFs hit the market, XRP will receive massive institutional inflows comparable to that of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which, in turn, would be reflected in its price action. With this in mind, the pundit noted that XRP will be the “joke of the year” if these ETFs do not bring the cryptocurrency’s price to at least double digits.” Where XRP Needs To Trade For ETFs To Matter The numerical reality behind this expectation is straightforward. XRP is currently trading well below the $3 price level. Particularly, XRP is trading at $2.3, which means even a return to its $3.65 all-time high would require a price increase of about 40% from present levels.  To reach actual double digits above $10, it means the price of XRP would need to rise more than 320% from its current price.  Before XRP can target double digits, however, it must convincingly break and close above the region between $3 and $3.65. This region is a structural pivot because it is where previous rallies have lost momentum  If ETF demand is genuine, the first sign of it will be whether XRP can push above the $3 line and hold it as support. Such a move would confirm that new inflows are not being neutralized by selling pressure and that the buying pressure is absorbing tokens at a faster rate than they are being distributed. Related Reading: Analyst Says Don’t Get Left Behind As Massive Liquidity Wave Is Coming For XRP XRP currently has a total circulating supply of 60 billion tokens. Therefore, a move to $4 implies a market cap of $240 billion. On the other hand, a move to $10 implies a valuation above $600 billion. A $600-billion valuation would place XRP behind only Bitcoin in terms of market cap rankings. These numbers matter because ETF impact is not measured by price alone but by how much capital is required to move an asset of this size. If Spot XRP ETFs begin attracting even a small fraction of the inflows seen in early Bitcoin ETF trading, the push to $4 becomes more realistic.  At the time of writing, the first US Spot XRP-backed ETF has officially been launched by Canary Capital with ticker XRPC and began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on November 13, 2025.

The weekly chart for XRP has compressed into a decisive structure that now sits on the edge of a major move, and the latest projection from crypto analyst Dark Defender outlines how this structure could push to as high as $36 this bull cycle. His outlook centers on an Elliott Wave pattern that started forming in June, and the chart behind the analysis shows a sequence that is approaching the point where momentum returns with force. Elliott Wave Structure Points To A Wave Three Expansion Technical analysis of the XRP’s weekly candlestick timeframe chart shows that the cryptocurrency has spent the past several months compressing inside a tightening structure, forming a narrowing support and resistance triangle. This analysis attempts to map out where this pressure leads next, particularly as XRP is now trading around the peak of this triangle, where volatility could return in force. Related Reading: Pundit Dunks On XRP Triple-Digit Dreams; Price Isn’t Going To $100 This Year Dark Defender’s projection is built on a five-wave Elliott structure that traces its origin back to mid-June, when XRP delivered its initial impulsive rally that formed Wave One. That first advance carried the price on a rally from the lower ranges into a new all-time high of $3.65 before losing steam.  Since then, the second wave, which is naturally corrective based on the theory, has dragged the price action sideways to create lower highs beneath descending resistance and higher lows above the support.  The chart below shows that this corrective phase is now entering its final stretch, with candles clustering inside the narrowing triangle.  The technical message is straightforward: once the correction exhausts itself, the next phase of the Elliott count would be a Wave Three expansion. This third wave is the strongest and longest of the five waves, and it often receives the largest percentage gains in the entire cycle. The Breakout Zone: $2.22 Support And $2.85 Resistance The analysis marks two levels that now define XRP’s breakout conditions. The support band around $2.22 has held firm throughout the entire consolidation, providing the foundation of the structure. The resistance line is at $2.85, and this has capped every rally attempt since the summer.  Related Reading: Chinese And US Governments Fighting Over Bitcoin? Here’s What We Know A weekly close above $2.85 is the trigger that would officially transition XRP out of Wave 2 and into the impulsive third wave. Any break below $2.22 would delay the bullish outlook. The Fibonacci extension levels on the chart indicate the next significant checkpoints after the Wave 3 expansion starts. The first leg of the anticipated impulse, the 261.8% extension, is located close to $5.85. However, the wider Wave 3 target is located at the 361.8% level around $18.22. Following this, the Wave 4 pullback is expected to cool the momentum before the final Wave 5 impulse completes the broader structure. The final wave reaches into the 423.6% extension, which is positioned around $36.76 on the price chart.  At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.31, down by 8.2% in the past 24 hours.

Canary Capital’s XRP ETF made a historic debut on Thursday, surpassing its competitors by hitting $58 million in trading volume on its first day, setting a record for the most traded ETF launch this year.  This milestone was lauded by Bloomberg expert Eric Balchunas on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), underlining the remarkable success of the XRP ETF in the market. The launch of the first XRP ETF in the United States earlier today had a notable impact on the XRP price, propelling it towards the crucial $2.5 level. However, subsequent market movements saw a 4% retracement, bringing the token’s current trading price to $2.3. XRP ETF Potential Canary Capital’s CEO, Steven McClur, recently expressed confidence in the potential of an XRP ETF, suggesting that it could outperform the achievements of Solana (SOL). He highlighted XRP’s strong liquidity and global utility, foreseeing substantial institutional investment influx in the near future. The XRP ETF by Canary Capital has indeed outperformed Bitwise’s Solana Staking exchange-traded fund, with a trading volume of $57 million, falling just short of Canary’s fund by a mere million-dollar difference.  Related Reading: Who’s Selling Bitcoin? Fidelity Research Boss Breaks It Down Analysts predict that the approval of asset managers like Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and Grayscale in the upcoming days of November could attract significant institutional investments ranging from $4 to $8 billion, potentially leading to a substantial price surge due to the low liquidity in the market. As a result, market analysts foresee a bullish rally for XRP, hinting that the token may be approaching the end of consolidation. They suggest long-term price targets ranging from $10 to $37.  If these bullish scenarios materialize, these surges could result in new all-time highs and significant potential gains, with projections of 334% and a staggering 1,500%, respectively, from current trading levels. XRP Price Could See 150% Increase To $6 by 2030 In addition to the significant ETF debut by Canary Capital, industry experts like Dark Defender have shared key technical analyses that could complement the performance of the XRP ETF market.  Notably, Dark Defender highlighted signals on the weekly time frame indicating a potential surge for XRP, with resistance at $2.85, support at $2.22, and targets projected at $18.22 and $36.76.

An analyst has sounded the alarm on what could become one of the most explosive rally in XRP’s history. As the cryptocurrency prepares for its long-awaited Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) debut, the balance of XRP on major exchanges continues to decline. Analysts are warning that an impending supply crisis could spark a significant surge in the XRP price, which is currently more than 34% below its all-time high levels.  XRP Supply Shortage To Trigger Parabolic Surge Amidst ongoing market volatility and whale capitulation, crypto market expert Arthur remains positive about XRP, drawing attention to a series of on-chain developments that could mark the beginning of a parabolic upward move. In his post on X social media, the analyst emphasized that an XRP could soon see a supply crisis, which may ignite its next price explosion.  Related Reading: Pundit Reveals Final Nail In The Coffin For XRP, What This Means According to recent chart data from CryptoQuant, XRP reserves on Binance have fallen to about 2.79 million tokens, marking a sustained decline that began in early 2025. The chart also shows that while XRP’s price has remained relatively stable between $2 and $3, the available supply on almost all major cryptocurrency exchanges has continued to decline drastically. Arthur has revealed that this signals a growing imbalance between supply and demand, which could set the foundation for a bullish move.   Arthur has also referenced a prediction made by JPMorgan analysts, who estimated that between $4 to $8 billion could flow into the upcoming XRP Spot ETFs once they launch in the market. This projection indicates confidence in XRP’s future institutional demand and interest as a legitimate digital asset class. The analyst has suggested that increased ETF demand from institutions, combined with limited liquidity, could create a “perfect storm” for a price breakout of XRP. Additionally, the analyst has revealed that the XRP ETF could also see a surge in retail demand, contributing to its projected price appreciation. Currently, reports indicate that approval of XRP Spot ETFs by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is still pending. However, prominent analysts like Nate Geraci remain confident that these investment products will be launched soon.  Binance XRP Reserve Data Shows Steady Losses Delving deeper into XRP’s supply on exchanges, CryptoQuant’s data shows that the cryptocurrency’s reserve on Binance is sitting at approximately 2.785 billion tokens as of November 12, 2025. Notably, this marks a decrease of over 10 million tokens from the previous day, when 2.795 billion XRP was recorded. Since the beginning of November, Binance’s XRP balance has been declining, hovering just above the 2.7 billion token threshold.  Related Reading: $300 Million Worth Of XRP On The Move – Where Are They Headed? Earlier in October, reserves dipped to 2.74 billion tokens, one of the lowest levels recorded in almost a year. While balances briefly rebounded in mid-October, the latest data shows a renewed downward trajectory, suggesting that selling pressure may have eased and accumulation could be taking place off exchanges.

The XRP market just hit a historic milestone as the first U.S. spot XRP ETF, Canary Capital’s XRPC, officially debuts on Nasdaq, sending bullish shockwaves for the XRP price and other assets in the market.

XRP's price moving sideways on the daily chart. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview First Spot XRP ETF on Nasdaq Unlocks New Demand Nasdaq has certified the Canary Capital XRP ETF for trading under the ticker XRPC, making it the first fully spot-based XRP ETF in the U.S. The fund holds XRP directly and tracks the XRP-USD CCIXber Reference Rate Index, offering a simple, regulated way for institutions and retail investors to gain exposure without managing wallets or private keys. The ETF’s approval comes after the fund completed its Form 8-A filing with the SEC, clearing key regulatory hurdles. Other heavyweights, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, CoinShares, and 21Shares, also have XRP ETF applications in the pipeline, signaling a second wave of products that could further deepen liquidity and demand. On-chain data already shows shifting behavior ahead of the launch. Exchange inflows are down, suggesting holders are accumulating rather than selling, even as XRP trades around the $2.39–$2.50 zone and consolidates above support near $2.20–$2.40. Analysts See ‘Face-Melting’ XRP Price Rally as Technicals Coil Popular crypto analyst Egrag Crypto believes XRP is entering the final stages of a major consolidation that could lead to an explosive move within 4–6 weeks. Drawing on historical rallies in 2017 and 2021, he notes that XRP is once again forming a large symmetrical triangle, typically a “compression before expansion” structure. Using Fibonacci projections, Egrag highlights potential long-term targets between $10 and $37, while acknowledging that short-term market sentiment remains cautious. He argues that impatience and emotional selling often precede the biggest upside moves, and that today’s sideways action is more “preparation” than weakness. BlackRock Narrative and Macro Tailwinds Add Fuel Institutional narratives are also lining up behind XRP. At Swell 2025, BlackRock’s Maxwell Stein described the XRP Ledger as a scalable rail for trillions of dollars in tokenized assets and cross-border payments, reinforcing XRP’s status as a utility-driven asset rather than a purely speculative token.

Crypto market analyst Zach Rector has slammed the XRP price triple-digit dreams, rejecting claims that the token could hit $100 this year. In a recent post on X, the analyst compared his message to “telling a kid Santa isn’t real,” joking that many investors don’t want to hear the truth about XRP’s price potential. However, Rector encouraged followers to stay positive, noting that the digital asset has remained strong and there are still reasons to be hopeful as the year draws to a close. Triple-Digit Hopes Dashed, But XRP Price Still Has Big Opportunities Rector, known for his level-headed market advice, made it clear that triple-digit XRP price targets are currently pure fantasy. He struck a humorous but honest tone, telling traders not to get carried away by big, unlikely predictions. “It’s all good,” he wrote, adding that XRP remains one of the more stable altcoins this cycle, while many others continue to fall behind. Related Reading: Ripple Exec Reveals Why The Bitcoin Price Is So High Now Rector summed up the mood of many XRP investors: hopeful but not fooled by unrealistic hype. Instead of focusing on unlikely prices, he urged the community to pay attention to upcoming events that could genuinely affect XRP’s short-term price performance. Many analysts observe that XRP is entering a critical phase marked by growing real-world adoption. Traders are watching speculation about a possible XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) and are also hopeful that resolving the ongoing U.S. government shutdown could boost investor confidence. Analysts also note that as more institutions get involved with XRP, it could attract bigger investments once official ETF products are available. If this institutional interest builds as expected, it could lead to a significant change in the token’s price performance heading into 2026. Community Predicts More Modest, But Healthy Gains In response to Zach Rector’s post, XRP community member @xrpvegas offered a more realistic outlook. He suggested that the XRP price could climb to around $8 to $10 by year-end and potentially $13 to $14 by the peak of the current cycle. This prediction connects with many XRP holders, who consider it both hopeful and realistic. It suggests a solid potential gain from current levels, without relying on extreme or unlikely price jumps.  Related Reading: Chinese And US Governments Fighting Over Bitcoin? Here’s What We Know Analysts say even reaching the $10 range would strengthen XRP’s position as one of the stronger altcoins and highlight its growing appeal to institutional investors. Ultimately, Rector’s comments act as a reality check for the XRP community while remaining hopeful. The XRP price may not reach $100 this year, but investors appear ready to appreciate steady growth and the upcoming events that could support the token’s future progress. As Rector put it, there’s “nothing to complain about,” especially for a token that stays strong while many altcoins struggle to keep pace.

VivoPower International’s evolving “digital asset treasury” blueprint took center stage in New York this week as Adam Traidman, the company’s Chairman of the Board of Advisors and a former Ripple board member, sketched out what he called a “DAT 2.0” or “anti-DAT” playbook to accumulate XRP at a steep discount while simultaneously extracting on-chain yield. Speaking at the XRP Meetup NYC in the run-up to Ripple’s Swell conference—and in remarks shared via a clip by Crypto Eri (@sentosumosaba) on X—Traidman argued that the publicly listed “digital asset treasury companies” which ran hot earlier this year are now trading like the investment-trust boom-and-bust of the early 2000s. “In the last 60 days or so, we’ve seen several and many, actually, of the digital asset treasury companies collapse. A lot of the stocks have been down by 80%, 90%. This is reminiscent of what we saw in the early 2000s… Initially, they traded at much higher to their net asset value. And eventually, they collapsed completely. And those companies are not publicly traded anymore. To be totally honest, the same thing is happening with DAT companies right now.” DATs are collapsing, according to the former @Ripple board member. VIVOPOWER has been BUYING $XRP exposure at 84% OFF by purchasing shares in @Ripple. With the new Ripple $40B Valuation, the XRP discount is effectively 59% off. VivoPower Strategy explained here:… pic.twitter.com/ypSrGAgRsC — ????Crypto Eri ~ Carpe Diem (@sentosumosaba) November 12, 2025 The XRP Treasury Company 2.0 The response, he said, is a second-generation construct that acquires underlying exposure at a discount instead of paying token spot. “What we are doing at VivoPower, and what I think the future is, is this sort of second generation of DATs. I call it a DAT 2.0 strategy. Some folk call it an anti-DAT strategy, which is, instead of buying the net asset at spot price, you buy the net asset at a massive discount.” Related Reading: XRP To $10? Analyst Reveals What Could Be The Spark He used Bitcoin to illustrate how unusual an “80% off” entry actually is—mining might lower unit cost by 20–30%, but not by 80%. “How would you buy Bitcoin at an 80% discount today? You can’t… You might mine it… and then you might be able to get it at a 20%, 30% discount by mining it… But how the hell are you going to get it for 80% off?” The answer, in VivoPower’s case, is tied to Ripple. As Traidman put it, there is a unique linkage between a private company and the crypto asset that enables discount capture through corporate financing structures rather than on-exchange purchases. “There’s 25 million cryptocurrencies on coinmarketcap.com. There’s only one that is tied to a private company that is severely undervalued in terms of its share price, and that’s XRP, because of Ripple, right? And so that’s the opportunity that we are taking advantage of.” Related Reading: XRP Flashes Strongest Macro Bull Trend in Its History: Chartist This is the core ordering of operations in his remarks: first, acquire XRP exposure at a claimed “84% off” via mechanisms that revolve around Ripple’s equity and related look-through economics; second, put the resulting XRP to work on yield networks. Flare sits explicitly in the second step. “And then we work with our partners, like Flare, in order to generate yield on those XRP assets. And so that’s essentially buying XRP basically 84% off, and then investing it onto networks like Flare in order to generate a yield.” By emphasizing the sequencing—discounted acquisition tied to Ripple first, yield generation on Flare second—Traidman also addressed why this model does not rely on the market assigning a premium to the operating company. “So it’s like a DAT 1.0 plus the 2.0 strategy, right? And so the companies in this model don’t even need to trade at a premium to MNAV, like Saylor’s MicroStrategy does, because by default, they’re making money on day one. T plus one second, every dollar that gets put into our company gets a forex return, right? That’s only available when you can buy the net asset at a discount.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.44.

XRP is entering one of its most crucial weeks in months as a series of bullish catalysts align to set the stage for what could be a breakout move. The token has held firmly above the $2.20 support zone despite the recent market crash, and both technical and fundamental factors now point toward a possible surge in price.  According to crypto analyst Guy on the Earth, XRP is in a make-or-break moment, with abundant news catalysts giving traders reasons to stay optimistic about the short-term direction. XRP Holds $2.20 Support; Analyst Eyes Resistance Ahead “Another reversal from lows as XRP holds onto the $2.20 support,” said Guy on the Earth in a recent post on X, capturing the cautious positiveness in the price of XRP. He noted that the token is currently slap bang mid-range, targeting a retest of the $2.63 to $2.72 resistance zone. Related Reading: The XRP Price Is About To Do This In November – “Get Ready” According to him, there is an abundance of positive catalysts this week, ranging from ETF speculation to the end of the ongoing government shutdown. These catalysts are very important, as XRP needs a continuation of its momentum bounce from $2.2 to target the next resistance from here; otherwise, this is a dead cat at best.  The analyst emphasized that XRP’s ability to defend its key support levels will be critical in shaping its near-term trajectory. He warned that if the token revisits the $2.20 range, it may struggle to hold that level again, potentially slipping to between $1.90 and $2.00.  Despite this caution, he maintained his conviction that the recent lows are already in and that XRP is gradually preparing for a range breakout to the upside. “Things are coming together for the rally we’ve been looking for,” he added, while noting that chopping around this zone is healthy before a break of the range higher. ETF Anticipation Builds Momentum For XRP A large part of this week’s optimism surrounding XRP is tied to growing speculation that a US-listed exchange-traded fund could be nearing approval. Canary Capital’s recent Form 8-A submission to the US Securities and Exchange Commission has increased expectations that the long-discussed spot XRP ETF might debut soon, possibly under the ticker “XRPC.” Related Reading: XRP Price Performance In November: History Says It’s The Most Bullish Month In History The anticipation surrounding this ETF has already begun shaping market sentiment, reflected in the steady stream of excitement from XRP supporters across social media. Traders are drawing comparisons to the rallies seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum following their respective ETF approvals, anticipating a similar influx of institutional demand if XRP’s turn arrives. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $2.41, a 2% dip in the past 24 hours. Maintaining the $2.20 support remains the key technical objective for bulls, as holding that level could pave the way for another attempt at the $2.72 resistance zone in the next few days.

Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), David Schwartz, has provided a clear explanation for why the Bitcoin price remains so high, currently the most expensive cryptocurrency on the market. Notably, Schwartz’s statement had sparked new discussions across the crypto community. His remarks focused on how people view and use BTC in transactions, revealing a simple economic truth that helps explain the market’s continued confidence in the world’s leading cryptocurrency.  Ripple CTO Explains Logic Behind Elevated Bitcoin Price On Tuesday, Schwartz shared his thoughts on X, offering a simple but insightful explanation for Bitcoin’s current price strength. Responding to a community member’s question about why anyone would spend BTC given its potential for future appreciation, Schwartz explained that the reason lies in the asset’s perceived value and future expectations.  Related Reading: Why Did The Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Crash On October 10 And Will It Happen Again? According to the Ripple CTO, when individuals use Bitcoin to pay for goods or services, they are essentially realizing the full expected value of its future growth today. Rather than holding Bitcoin as a long-term investment and waiting for price gains, these users convert its potential into immediate utility. This behavior, he noted, reflects a broader belief in BTC’s enduring value and is one of the primary reasons why the cryptocurrency’s price remains so high.  Notably, Schwartz’s remarks followed a conversation that began when Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Square, a business technology company, announced that Bitcoin payments had gone live across the firm’s platforms. Dorsey revealed that Square customers can now pay for services and products using Bitcoin directly, and sellers can choose between multiple settlement options, including BTC-to-BTC, BTC-to-fiat, and fiat-to-BTC transactions. Funds received through Bitcoin payments will be automatically stored in a user’s Square wallet, with self-custody transfer limits of up to $15,000 per day or $50,000 per week.  Interestingly, the timing of Schwartz’s explanation comes a month after BTC reached a new all-time high of over $126,000. Compared to other digital assets, Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency in the six-figure territory, even surpassing traditional investments like gold and major stock indices. While some analysts argue that Bitcoin is overvalued, many investors remain convinced that it could still climb significantly higher in the long term. Bitcoin Price Expected To Rise Even Higher  The Bitcoin price is currently sitting above the $100,000 level, but analysts believe it could rise even further. The leading cryptocurrency is hovering near $103,300, experiencing some volatility, which has triggered a nearly 2% dip in the past 24 hours amid whale capitulations. Crypto analyst Joe Francesco noted that Bitcoin had initially surged to $107,000 following a wave of optimism sparked by US President Donald Trump’s proposed $2,000 stimulus plan.  Related Reading: New XRP ETF Just Dropped, But Will Anything Be Different This Time? However, the rally proved short-lived, as BTC fell a few days later. Despite the pullback, Francesco has described the cryptocurrency’s chart setup as positive, predicting that Bitcoin could soon break through $107,000, with the potential to reach $115,000 and even $120,000 if upward momentum continues.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP is once again making headlines after a top crypto research firm issued a bold forecast, declaring it “the fastest horse” on the next bull market rally. The statement has reignited enthusiasm across the XRP community, with many investors and traders agreeing despite the token’s history of volatility and past declines.  Sistine Research Sees Major Shift For XRP Market analysis platform Sistine Research has shared its outlook on X social media, saying XRP is the best-looking major digital asset in the current market cycle. The firm described XRP as the fastest mover following recent government developments that are expected to reshape the interaction between digital assets and traditional finance.  Related Reading: Analyst Says 300% XRP Price Rally To $10 Is Fair, Here’s Why Sistine Research believes that several upcoming events could heavily favour XRP in the long run. Among them are a potential banking charter approval for Ripple, the introduction of the CLARITY Act, and the possibility of XRP Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The research firm has revealed that these key developments would give Ripple a stronger foothold in global finance and expand XRP’s use case in payments and banking.  In a subsequent post, Sistine Research went even further, suggesting that Ripple could soon become a fully licensed bank. The post warned that some people might downplay this milestone, but emphasized that it would be a very bullish sign for the XRP price. Such recognition and the ensuing adoption could make XRP one of the first digital assets, other than stablecoins, deeply connected to global banking infrastructure, setting it apart from other major cryptocurrencies.  Related Reading: Rare Chart Formation That Led To An 87% XRP Price Crash Has Resurfaced Notably, Sistine Research’s outlook on XRP aligns with Ripple’s long-term vision of bridging the gap between blockchain technology and traditional finance through the use of digital assets. With regulatory clarity achieved following the resolution of its legal battle with the US SEC, XRP now faces fewer obstacles to growth and development as it continues to solidify its role in the rapidly evolving crypto and financial landscape.  Analyst Charts XRP’s Bullish Path To $2.7 The price of XRP is currently at $2.5, having experienced a slight recovery after weeks of choppy action and volatility. Crypto analyst Kamran Asghar has reinforced his optimistic forecast with his latest technical breakdown on X. He noted that XRP has broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern and surged to about $2.5.  He described this as a strong move that suggests that the cryptocurrency is “reloading” for the next phase of its bull rally. According to Asghar’s TradingView chart, the key support zone lies near $2.35. He expects a short pullback to that level before another leg higher. This implies that XRP could see a temporary 6% decline from current levels. Subsequently, if support holds, Asghar predicts a confirmed rally toward $2.7, representing an almost 15% price increase and marking the next resistance area for XRP.

A crypto analyst known as Pumpius has issued a bold warning on social media platform X, declaring that a massive liquidity wave is about to sweep through global markets, and XRP could be the key asset positioned to capture it.  His post, shared alongside a chart of the US national debt now above $38 trillion, argues that a combination of government stimulus, monetary easing, and corporate spending is about to unleash a surge of capital unlike anything seen since the 2020 pandemic. Liquidity Flood And The Return Of Stimulus Spending In his analysis, Pumpius highlighted that the United States government is preparing to inject over $400 billion in new stimulus payments, and this is going to be the first direct round of such spending since 2021. This comes at a time when the Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates despite inflation still sitting above 3% and labor market data showing signs of cooling.  Related Reading: XRP Price To Reach $1,000 By End Of 2025? Rumor Mills Are On Fire With BlackRock Speculations A similar setup in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic led to an enormous wave of liquidity that lifted both traditional and crypto markets to record highs. Now, President Donald Trump has vowed to provide each American a $2,000 dividend to be distributed from what he said was tariff revenue.  The chart shown below illustrates a notable connection vividly: each major stimulus injection, from the $270 billion to $410 billion rounds, coincided with sharp jumps in the national debt and subsequent market expansions. With total US debt now projected to exceed $38 trillion, Pumpius believes another round of liquidity growth is close. The analyst went on to point out that this time, the liquidity wave is not just based on government spending but also on private-sector investment on an extraordinary scale.  The so-called Magnificent 7 technology companies (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla) are collectively pouring over $100 billion every quarter into artificial intelligence infrastructure.  XRP Positioned As The Bridge For Global Capital Flow According to Pumpius, all this incoming liquidity needs a bridge, an asset capable of settling large-value transactions instantly across borders. He described XRP as the only digital asset designed precisely for this purpose, built for institutional-grade, real-time settlement and capable of handling global capital flows efficiently.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Decouple From Bitcoin, Here’s What Would Happen Ripple’s technology already provides the financial infrastructure necessary to connect banks, fintechs, and payment systems that will need to move funds quickly as liquidity expands. “The math is simple,” he said. “The liquidity is coming. The rails are ready. Own XRP or be left behind,” he concluded. XRP is one of the top-traded digital assets by volume, and market participants are watching closely to see how the cryptocurrency’s price action plays out.  Ripple, its parent technology company, has been making different partnership moves and company acquisitions to expand its reach. This is expected to hopefully boost XRP’s adoption on a global scale and, in turn, its price growth. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.45, down by 1.4% in the past 24 hours.

An analyst has explained a dream scenario for XRP based on a Bull Flag that the cryptocurrency has potentially been following on the monthly chart. XRP Could Be Trading Inside A Bull Flag Pattern In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has discussed about how XRP has been forming a Bull Flag recently. The “Bull Flag” is a type of Flag from technical analysis (TA). Related Reading: XRP Jumps To $2.56 Despite 240% Increase In Profit Taking A Flag pattern looks like, as its name suggests, a flag on a pole. A consolidation channel with two parallel trendlines forms the “flag” portion, while an initial sharp move represents the “pole.” In a Bull Flag, the pole is charted by a move in the up direction. Generally, Flags are considered to be continuation patterns, meaning that a breakout tends to happen in the same direction as the preceding trend. In a Bull Flag, as the pole corresponds to a rally, the breakout move is also in the bullish direction. Like the Bull Flag, there is also a pattern in TA called the Bear Flag, appearing when the pole is made up by a sharp downward move. Naturally, the breakout is considered more probable in the down direction in this case. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Bull Flag that the 1-month price of XRP has possibly been traveling inside for the past year: As displayed in the above graph, XRP is currently trading inside the consolidation channel of the Bull Flag. Martinez has noted that a dream scenario for the cryptocurrency could now be to retest the $1.90 level, then observe a rally that ends in a bullish breakout. The $1.90 mark is where the lower level of the flag channel is located. This level usually acts as a support barrier, helping keep the price above it. A rebound at this level could be the spark to a run to $10, according to the analyst. This target is based on the fact that a Bull Flag breakout is considered to be of the same height as the pole. It now remains to be seen whether XRP will find a break beyond this flag, and if it will follow a path anything like that charted out by the pattern. Related Reading: Bitcoin Options Craze: OI Looks Set To Keep Printing ATHs, Glassnode Says The 1-month price isn’t the only timeframe on which XRP is trading inside a parallel channel right now. As Martinez has pointed out in another X post, the 3-day price is also stuck in a similar consolidation pattern. “If this bull run keeps going, XRP could offer a solid buying opportunity at $1.90 before rallying to $6,” said the analyst, based on this pattern. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $2.53, up 10% over the last 24 hours. Featured image from Dall-E, charts from TradingView.com

On-chain data shows XRP profit realization has witnessed a huge spike recently, but price has rebounded back above $2.50 anyway. XRP Realized Profit Is Up 240% Since Late September In a post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the Realized Profit of XRP. The “Realized Profit” here refers to an indicator that measures the total amount of profit investors as a whole are “realizing” through their transactions every day. The metric works by going through the transfer history of each token being transacted on the chain to see what price it was last moved at. If the previous selling price for any coin was less than the current spot price, then that coin’s sale is leading to the realization of some net profit. Related Reading: Bitcoin Options Craze: OI Looks Set To Keep Printing ATHs, Glassnode Says The exact degree of the profit involved in the transfer is naturally equal to the difference between the two prices. The Realized Profit sums up this value for sales across the blockchain on any given day. A counterpart indicator called the Realized Loss takes care of the transactions of the opposite type. That is, the sales involving a cost basis higher than the latest selling price. Now, here is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in the 14-day moving average (MA) of the XRP Realized Profit over the past year: As displayed in the above graph, the XRP Realized Profit has been following an uptrend since late September, indicating investors have been ramping up their profit taking. During this period, daily profit realization volume has gone up from $65 million to $220 million, an increase of a whopping 240%. This growth in the metric has come as the asset’s price has plummeted from $3.09. In the chart, the analytics firm has also highlighted the other profit-taking sprees that the cryptocurrency has faced in the current cycle so far. Interestingly, all the other selloffs coincided with rallies in the price. The recent XRP trend has naturally been different, coming alongside a drawdown instead. “This divergence underscores distribution into weakness, not strength,” noted Glassnode. While the Realized Profit is sitting at a significant level, XRP has still managed to turn itself around during the past day, implying a sudden influx of demand has come in that has outweighed the selling. The recovery surge arrives as spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) related to the coin are potentially nearing approval. Spot ETFs are investment vehicles that allow investors to gain exposure to an underlying asset without having to directly own it.

The Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has hinted at plans to begin adding reserves back to the system. For XRP holders, the shift could prove pivotal. As the Fed prepares to inject fresh reserves, the XRP could once again benefit from an environment of expanding liquidity and easing financial conditions. XRP holders are paying close attention as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signals that the Fed will soon add reserves to its balance sheet, subtly setting the stage for the next phase of US monetary policy where digital reserves are not optional. Crypto analyst Xfinancebull has noted on X that President Donald Trump had recently mentioned that the US maintains a crypto stockpile, and XRP was among the assets held. Why Fed Reserve Growth Could Be The Spark XRP Has Been Waiting For The claims that Ripple is not just another startup, but a US-born solution to a quadrillion-dollar global payment challenge. This infrastructure is led by individuals who have met with presidents and policy architects like Brad Garlinghouse and Stuart Alderoty. Meanwhile, XRP has already held legal clarity and enterprise utility in the US. “What if XRP is not merely surviving regulation, but being positioned for integration?” XFinanceBull asked.

A publisher, Wilberforce Theophilus, highlighted that the Ripple XRP US patent number 10,902,416, and the US patent number 11,998,003 make XRP the undisputed cryptocurrency in the world. The publisher predicts that the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will eventually rest on the Chainlink ledger, and every asset will be hosted on the XRPL. At the same time, LINEA will serve as the secure messaging system connecting banks, while HBAR will provide the security layer that will underpin the entire network. These protocols form a coordinated framework to position XRP as the reserve asset currency, and its market capitalization could multiply exponentially. XRP was designed to replace the old financial system. Theophilus concluded that “once everything is properly positioned, individuals will be glad they joined crypto at this stage,” and he will be writing on why there are several regulations coming from the white house.” How XRP Is Inheriting The World’s Payment Rails The XRP Ledger is entering an unexpected moment that the crypto market has not seen before. JackTheRippler has stated that XRP holders should pay attention that the true value is about to be unlocked beyond imagination. He claims that a clear view of what’s unfolding will provide insights into why $10,000 and even $35,000 per XRP is not just a fantasy, but is entirely possible. Related Reading: XRP Price Gains Fade, Market Turns Cautious After Another Weak Session According to JackTheRippler, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has made it clear that Ripple is positioned to capture trillions from the global banking system, and “these are the real numbers, not speculation.” November 17 could become a historic turning point for XRPL.

Momentum for institutional adoption of XRP has surged as the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) added five spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to its database, marking a key pre-launch milestone. Related Reading: MEXC Users At Risk Of Losing Their Crypto? Ex-Public Advisor Exposes ‘Structural Rot’ The listings include products from Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, Canary Capital, and CoinShares, all of which are categorized as “active and in the pre-launch stage.” DTCC Lists Five Spot XRP ETFs, Signaling Institutional Readiness While the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has yet to give final approval, analysts view DTCC listings as a strong operational signal. The same process preceded the debut of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs earlier this year. Market participants now expect the first XRP ETFs to go live by mid or late November, given the SEC’s newly streamlined listing rules that bypass lengthy procedural delays. Canary Capital’s CEO Steven McClurg hinted on X that their XRPC ETF could launch “next week,” echoing the firm’s rapid rollout of Litecoin and Hedera ETFs. Meanwhile, Franklin Templeton and 21Shares have filed final amendments with the SEC, triggering the 20-day countdown that could see trading begin imminently. XRP's price records some profits on the daily chart. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview XRP Price Holds Key Range as Analysts Predict $10 Surge Amid the ETF momentum, XRP trades at around $2.47, up 8% in the past 24 hours. Despite a 25% correction from October highs of $3.09, analysts see current levels as a setup phase before a potential breakout. Ali Martinez and Cryptollica, two prominent market analysts, both forecast a rally toward $10, citing bullish technical structures and ETF-driven inflows as catalysts. Martinez identified a rectangle range between $1.90 and $3.38, arguing that a final retest near $1.90 could precede an explosive upward leg. On the other hand, Cryptollica’s four-phase market model places XRP in its final “Phase 4” advance, the stage historically associated with parabolic rallies. Technical charts also show tightening Bollinger Bands, an RSI near 47, and a possible MACD bullish crossover, hinting that momentum may be shifting in favor of buyers. Institutional Flows Could Redefine XRP’s Market Dynamics The arrival of spot XRP ETFs would mark a watershed moment in digital asset finance, integrating one of the most liquid blockchain assets into regulated investment channels. Analysts estimate that early inflows could exceed $1 billion in the first few months, mirroring the pattern seen with Solana and Ethereum ETFs. As the U.S. government reopens and dollar liquidity expands, XRP’s regulated status and ETF exposure could attract large treasury buyers and fund managers.

XRP is printing its most constructive long-term structure on record, according to independent chartist “The Great Mattsby” (@matthughes13), who points to the three-month Ichimoku system and a year-long base forming above its key quarterly averages. XRP Is In The Strongest Bull Run Ever On the latest 3-month XRP/USD chart from Bitstamp, the in-progress candle shows price around $2.31, with the Ichimoku conversion line and baseline tracking just beneath spot. The analyst highlights that XRP “has never built a base above the 3 month conversion or baseline in its history and it’s doing it now for the past year” (posted Nov. 8, 2025). That observation is notable because, in prior cycles, quarterly closes consistently failed to hold above those Ichimoku reference lines after rallies, whereas the current cycle has seen price stabilize on top of them for multiple quarters in a row. The present quarterly candle remains open, but the configuration—price above both the 3-month conversion and baseline—visually underscores the claim of an ongoing macro bull trend. And there’s a more bullish structure for XRP. XRP has been oscillating between the 0.886 Fibonacci retracement at $2.25877 and its 2018 cycle all-time high at $3.31700. Since early December last year, price repeatedly defended the $2.25877 band as support while failing to secure acceptance above the $3.31700 ceiling on the weekly chart, creating a horizontal range capped by the former peak. Related Reading: XRP Eyes $5.5, But The Best Entry Is Still Ahead: Analyst “To put things in perspective, XRP has been consolidating between the 0.886 Fibonacci level and its 2018 all-time high (2.25877–3.317). It’s building a strong base above the 0.886 Fib,” Mattsby wrote on Oct. 12, adding that this structure keeps XRP in what he calls a “#Palantiring candidate” posture. Although that remark is four weeks old, the argument remains intact on the posted chart: the 0.886 area continues to function as the pivotal shelf. XRP Price Targets Beyond the prior-cycle high, the same weekly framework maps out upside extension levels that would logically come into play only if $3.31700 is reclaimed and held. Those include the 1.272 extension around $8.29661, the 1.414 near $13.38940, and the 1.618 up at $26.63038. Related Reading: XRP Price To Reach $1,000 By End Of 2025? Rumor Mills Are On Fire With BlackRock Speculations Closer to price, the stacked retracement supports below $2.25877 are clearly demarcated at $1.61246 (0.786), $1.12487 (0.702), $0.91531 (0.618), $0.61495 (0.500), $0.41315 (0.382), and $0.25257 (0.236), delineating the ladder of demand zones that governed XRP’s multi-year range prior to the latest advance. Taken together, the two timeframes tell a coherent story. On the high-timeframe Ichimoku view, XRP is maintaining altitude above its 3-month conversion and baseline for the first sustained period in its history—an objective sign of trend strength. On the weekly, price action has compressed into a well-defined band between $2.26 and $3.32, with repeated mean-reversions indicating accumulation rather than distribution while the market tests overhead supply at the 2018 high. As long as the 0.886 retracement at $2.25877 continues to hold on closing bases, the consolidation thesis laid out by The Great Mattsby—and the characterization of this as XRP’s strongest macro bull trend to date on Ichimoku terms—remains technically valid. At press time, XRP traded at $2.56. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP has spent the past week on the continuation of a downtrend from the previous week, slipping from above $2.50 before rebounding around $2.12 and now hovering around $2.30. The price action reflects a market struggling to find direction, caught between bullish optimism and lingering selling pressure. Despite the broader slowdown in its price action, technical analysis shows that XRP is still displaying a resilient structure on the charts that maintains its critical support levels. According to Egrag Crypto, a popular analyst known for his long-term technical outlooks on XRP, the token may soon enter what will become the most explosive fifth wave yet. Related Reading: XRP’s Price Doesn’t Match Its Growing Real-World Use, Study Finds XRP Elliott Wave Analysis: ‘The Power Of 5’ Egrag Crypto’s latest technical analysis on the social media platform X points to the fact that XRP is in the final stages of its fourth impulse wave, which is a corrective wave based on the popular Elliott Wave Theory. Notably, this movement is now setting up for the beginning of the fifth wave, which is a bullish impulse under the same theory. Looking at previous cycles on the 5-day candlestick timeframe chart, particularly during 2017 and 2021, showed that similar setups came before massive upward surges in XRP’s price. The analyst’s chart displays a repeating structure of five-wave patterns, each representing major bullish impulses in the token’s history.  The chart also reflects the distinct cyclical rhythm of XRP’s price behavior over the years. Each major impulsive phase (waves 1, 3, and 5) has always been followed by smaller corrective waves (2 and 4), a structure that continues to repeat with precision.  The overlapping bands in cyan and pink, representing exponential moving averages, now point to XRP consolidating within a strong support region around $2.20, which indicates that the fourth impulse wave is coming to an end. XRP Technical Analysis: Source @egragcrypto on X Analyst Says Don’t Fight It By Egrag Crypto’s measure, the ongoing consolidation might be setting the stage for a similar move to double-digit prices if the fifth wave unfolds as projected. The visual projection marks potential Fibonacci extensions of 1.272, 1.414, 1.618, and 2.618 at $4.789, $5.515, $6.755, and $18.259 as possible long-term targets once the fifth wave takes hold. These levels may act as resistance points in the impending bull phase because they resemble the wave geometry that drove XRP’s earlier rallies in 2017 and 2021. Interestingly, the analyst also referenced how skepticism often peaks before major rallies. He reminded followers of a trader who lost $30 million shorting XRP during its last major uptrend in 2024. As such, the analyst concluded by urging traders not to “fight the fifth wave” but to “ride it.”  Related Reading: Get Ready — The End Of November Will Be Massive For XRP, CEO Says At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.27, down by 1.6% and 9.2% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively.  Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Blockchain payments company Ripple has no immediate plans to follow the trend of digital asset firms going public. In a recent interview with Bloomberg at the company’s Swell conference in New York, Ripple President Monica Long stated, “We do not have an IPO timeline. No plan, no timeline.”  Her comments highlight the company’s present priorities, which include expanding its payments business, launching dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies, often known as stablecoins, and forming new alliances, rather than pursuing an initial public offering. IPO Aspirations Remain On Hold These remarks come shortly after Ripple successfully closed a $500 million funding round earlier this week, achieving a valuation of $40 billion. This funding round was led by notable investors such as Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, along with contributions from Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace.  Related Reading: Samourai Wallet Co-Founder Sentenced To 5 Years In Prison For Money Laundering The substantial backing indicates that Ripple is not under financial pressure to seek public capital at this time. Long emphasized that the company remains “very well capitalized,” allowing it to fund “organic growth” and pursue acquisitions or partnerships without needing to turn to the public markets. This decision positions Ripple differently from its peers, including stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL), Bullish (BLSH), and Gemini (GEMI), all of which have recently gone public in the US as part of a broader wave of digital asset listings.  For holders of XRP, Ripple’s choice to delay an initial public offering presents mixed implications. On one hand, the lack of a near-term public listing might postpone hopes for a liquidity event that could enhance XRP’s market visibility.  Conversely, the recent funding round and a reportedly doubled customer base quarter-over-quarter bolster confidence in Ripple’s growth trajectory and its stablecoin payment strategy. Institutional Confidence In Ripple  Analysts suggest that the $500 million raise at a $40 billion valuation reflects strong institutional confidence in Ripple’s long-term prospects. Coupled with the increasing on-chain adoption of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for stablecoin and cross-border payments, this funding could help stabilize XRP’s price and pave the way for future rallies, especially if Ripple continues to expand its presence in the enterprise sector. Related Reading: XRP Price Correction Is Far From Over: Bearish Divergence Signals Potential Revisit To $2.05 Furthermore, Ripple’s focus on integrating stablecoins and progressing through regulatory frameworks appears to be bearing fruit. Long noted that clearer regulations in the US and internationally have “opened up the market,” leading to a surge in adoption.  Currently, XRP is trading within its short-term range, which formed following continuous corrections between $2 and $2.60. The altcoin is currently trading at $2.32 and has seen a 4.7% recovery in the past 24 hours, with a clear resistance wall at $2.69. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Speculations across the crypto space have ignited a wave of excitement for the XRP price as rumors linking BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, and Ripple, a crypto payments company, continue to spread. The possibility of XRP reaching $1,000 before the end of 2025 has become the latest hot topic, fueled by bold claims from top analysts who believe that this rumored partnership could set the stage for one of the most explosive bull runs in this cycle.  BlackRock And Ripple Rumors To Send XRP Price To $1,000 Crypto market analyst ‘The Real Remi Relief’ has stirred significant interest with his post on X social media, claiming that if ongoing rumors about a potential partnership between BlackRock and Ripple prove true, the XRP price could reach $1,000 by the end of 2025. He advised holders to secure their XRP in cold wallets and prepare for a potential market-wide supply shock.  Related Reading: Valuation Model That Puts XRP Price Above $18,000 Stuns Community His optimism stems from reports shared by another well-analyst @DelCrxpto, who revealed that sources deep within the crypto industry are hinting at a major development involving BlackRock and Ripple. According to these claims, the global asset manager may be preparing to collaborate with Ripple to establish infrastructure for the tokenization of all $5.3 trillion of its ETF liquidity.  If such an initiative were to materialize, it would represent one of the largest integrations of blockchain into global finance. Ripple’s network, designed for fast and cost-effective asset transfers, could provide the foundation for tokenized ETFs, potentially transforming traditional investment markets. Additionally, the crypto payments company, which is already expanding into the Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization sector, will broaden its technology and services to support a broader range of financial products.  The possibility of such a partnership has reignited optimism within the XRP community, especially after the recent Ripple Swell event, which featured participation from prominent names including BlackRock, Nasdaq, Franklin Templeton, The White House, and several other global institutions. Related Reading: Pundit Elaborates On Ripple/SWIFT Theory That Will Send The XRP Price To $1,000 Notably, an ETF tokenization deal between Ripple and BlackRock could elevate XRP’s role in the digital asset and financial ecosystem, driving institutional adoption, which could propel its price. Despite growing optimism about XRP’s price outlook, the rumors remain unconfirmed, and neither Ripple nor BlackRock has issued any official statement.  XRP Expected To Explode Within The Next 3 Months Market analyst @Steph_iscrypto has added fuel to the bullish excitement surrounding the XRP price with a technical analysis suggesting that the cryptocurrency could soon enter another parabolic phase. He announced in his X post that “XRP will shock everyone in the next 1-3 months.” His accompanying weekly chart highlights bull rallies from past cycles, where XRP surged 2,117% in 2013, 110,466% in 2017, and 1,208% in 2020. Building on this trend, XRP has recently broken through a long-term resistance level, mirroring the early stages of its previous explosive bull cycles. If historical patterns repeat, the analyst suggests that the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of another explosive bull run this cycle.  Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP is holding firm on the weekly time frame despite the latest market-wide drawdown, according to an Elliott Wave roadmap shared by crypto technician Hov (@HovWaves). On Hov’s Bitstamp-based 1W chart, the current candle sits near $2.22 with three days and several hours left to close, and the structure remains nested inside a higher-time-frame impulse that he counts as wave iii completed, wave iv in progress, and a prospective wave v aiming materially higher. Is The XRP Bottom In? The key reference band for pullbacks is defined by Fibonacci retracements measured from the latest vertical advance. Hov plots the 0.236 retracement at $2.094, the 0.382 at $1.548, the 0.5 at $1.213, and the 0.618 at $0.950. The price has broken down to the 0.236 neighborhood, probing a turquoise demand box that overlaps the 0.382 ($1.548) on the lower edge. That zone also contains the October 10 liquidity event wick he highlights around $1.58. In his accompanying note, Hov stresses that the last rise from that low has only formed three waves to date, leaving room for “one more small low on the micro before it’s all said and done,” while adding, “I don’t think it takes out the 1.58 low” and that, because of the wick, “we’re likely to see a truncation on this move.” Related Reading: XRP Holds The Line As Bulls Eye $3.40 — Can 20-Month EMA Power Next Breakout? The upside map hinges on two resistance landmarks. First is a boxed supply region overhead that caps out just below a labeled swing marker at “0 (3.41159),” effectively framing $3.41 as the final pivot from the prior leg. More important for confirmation, Hov marks “HTF close above $2.94 is the key.” That $2.94 weekly close is his validation level that would reassert the impulsive trend and unlock a measured extension to his first target. That target is explicit on the chart: the next leg’s objective aligns with the −0.236 extension printed at $5.558. A curved projection path from the current area arcs through the retracement box and then accelerates vertically toward the target, annotated with a circled “V” at the terminal portion of the move and a higher-degree “3” on the scale, consistent with an impulse termination at or near the extension. Related Reading: 84% Of XRP Sell Pressure Comes From Korea As $2 Looms, Analyst Warns Context from the left side of the chart shows how structurally important the base has been. A broad turquoise accumulation band anchored around the $0.43 handle (labeled “1 (0.43128)”) held price throughout 2023–2024, preceding the breakout that staged the current impulse. Above that, a second, higher turquoise band spans the 2021 reaction zone and now acts as the battleground for the present consolidation beneath $3.41. A visible-range profile overlay inside the consolidation rectangle shows the heaviest traded activity toward the left ridge of the range, underscoring why weekly closes above $2.94 would be decisive. Hov’s bottom line on X mirrors the chart. “XRP holding up exceptionally well on this market wide sell off,” he wrote, noting the coin remains “still up 40% off our level (threaded).” While he allows for a final marginal low—without undercutting $1.58—his roadmap retains a “first target” near $5.5, with the caveat that a “HTF close above $2.94 is the key.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.18.
