THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

In a new market breakdown published today, crypto analyst CryptoInsightUK argues that XRP has reached a “liquidity flashpoint” that could accelerate price discovery toward the mid-$4 range once key resistance is reclaimed. He anchors the call to a cluster of liquidity sitting above the $3.40 area and an improving relative-strength backdrop versus Bitcoin, Ethereum and even gold, while cautioning that the US CPI print due tomorrow could inject short-term volatility in either direction. Be aware that tomorrow there is CPI news coming from the US and it probably, most likely at this point in the market, brings with it some sort of volatility,” he said, adding that while the move “could be to the upside,” there is still “liquidity sitting below us” that could be swept before continuation. The analyst frames the recent grind higher as constructive but “choppy,” with a pattern of slightly higher lows that would invalidate quickly if one of those pivots is lost. $4.20–$4.50 Is The Target Zone As XRP Liquidity Builds XRP remains his top altcoin setup. “XRP is the base case of something that I think is looking pretty strong right now,” he said. The pair has “formed a nice bottoming pattern” and broken out, but is now “fighting against these previous swing highs.” In his view, the immediate task is a sequence of closes through successive resistance shelves—including the zone just under $3.40—after which the path to the former peak opens. “As soon as we start to get that level broken then… we could argue that all-time highs [are] back on the table,” he said, noting that from the recent local bottom XRP is “up 11%,” and that another ~10% burst through resistance “probably comes pretty quickly.” Related Reading: XRP Set to Lead Altcoin Boom With Explosive $9.69 Target, Says Analyst On higher time frames, he highlights a stacked band of resting interest overhead. “On the daily [for XRP, there is] significant liquidity above us and over the last 2–3 days more has been building in here. When we start to break that $3.40 level… this is the all-time high and we probably resume this march back towards $4.20, $4.30 and then realistically $4.50 is where all this liquidity is sitting right now.” While he characterizes that as the base case, he keeps risk balanced: “It’s not time to get 100% definite [that we’re] going to the upside… We could argue that [liquidity below] could be taken before we go higher especially if Bitcoin and ETH come down.” The cross-asset context matters for his XRP view. He sees Bitcoin at an inflection defined by structural waypoints—“a break above the $111,003 and then… $114,300… and then… above this high here about $117k”—with the daily map still showing “significant liquidity above.” Ethereum, he says, has a “dense” pocket of bids just below, but has been “losing strength against other alts,” creating a window in which ETH might wick lower to clean up liquidity while alts with stronger relative momentum hold up better. That relative momentum is where he places XRP. On XRP/ETH, he notes a sequence of “lows, highs, higher lows and higher highs,” arguing the pair is “back in an uptrend.” He draws attention to the four-hour RSI repeatedly tagging overbought during prior upside phases: “When we start to hit this four hour overbought area… momentum looks like it is pushing back to the upside… it has led to quite significant price action.” He flags 0.000071 on XRP/ETH as a confirmation pivot that would “give us more confirmation back to the upside.” A similar story appears on XRP/BTC, where he wants to see “a real good green day” to break the downtrend after a “bullish cross on the daily RSI.” Related Reading: XRP RSI Remains Bullish As Support Levels Hold, Price Eyes Break Above $3.6 He extends the relative framework beyond crypto. On XRP/gold, the analyst says the weekly structure “actually bounced pretty well off the 702 Fibonacci retracement,” with a clean back-test of prior range highs and “bullish cross” momentum. Projecting from current consolidation, he cites a potential 4.236 extension that, mechanically, implies substantial outperformance: “For a 4.236 extension from where we are now it would be about a 700% outperformance from gold… so if we just say five to six hundred percent that would be bloody nice for XRP.” He is careful to note that gold could also move, which would affect the nominal translation. Despite the urgency of the title levels, he repeatedly frames the next 24–48 hours as path-dependent. Bitcoin dominance sits at a decision point in his model; a breakdown from its “ascending wedge” would, in his view, validate the altcoin-outperformance regime he has been anticipating. “It could get very exciting very soon,” he said. “Or we could just have a few more days of chop.” Still, the directional bias is clear: “I think that I’ve said that XRP I think is leading the market. I still believe that.” His bottom line for XRP is conditional but pointed: reclaim and hold above ~$3.40, convert that resistance into support, and the liquidity magnets at ~$4.20–$4.50 come into play quickly. Fail the near-term tests, especially into a volatile macro print, and a final dip to harvest downside liquidity remains on the table before any renewed advance. At press time, XRP traded at $2.96.

Technical analyst Rupert, host of the Allincrypto podcast, highlighted a major bullish setup that could send the cryptocurrency on a long rally. According to his latest analysis shared on social media, XRP’s chart is forming a structure that points to an eventual price target of $19.27, with the move being supported by its late 2024 breakout and its current positioning below its previous all-time high. Breakout From Long-Term Triangle Formation XRP has mostly been trading around $2.80 over the past week, ranging between $2.77 and $3.02. However, the cryptocurrency has managed to break above the $3 barrier in the most recent 24-hour period with a gain of approximately 3.9%.  Related Reading: XRP RSI Remains Bullish As Support Levels Hold, Price Eyes Break Above $3.6 From a wider perspective, XRP’s latest price action is part of a much larger story that has been unfolding since late 2024. Leaving the shorter timeframes to higher timeframes shows that the cryptocurrency is currently consolidating just below its former 2018 all-time high. Particularly, technical analysis of a longer timeframe on the two-week candlestick chart, which was posted by Rupert on X, shows that XRP is now consolidating after breaking out of a multi-year triangle formation that dates back to late 2024. He noted that nearly two years ago, his team had already predicted a breakout from this formation, and since then, XRP has delivered more than 400% gains from that initial forecast. However, XRP is now back into the zone of its 2018 all-time high after reaching $3.65 in July, and this level is now acting as resistance. In his video, Rupert noted that it is common for assets to stall or retrace slightly after testing such important levels. Therefore, the way XRP is consolidating is less a sign of weakness and more of a setup for continuation. Furthermore, he noted that the chart is shaping into a cup and handle formation, which is another bullish pattern that contributes to the possibility of another strong rally. Path To $19.27 Still On Track Looking at the bigger picture, Rupert noted that the triangle projection is still pointing to a target of $19.27. Not only does the price confirm that, in regard to direction, the way XRP is trading on the smaller time frames and how it is interacting with a key level of significance at its previous all-time high is telling, in fact, that it’s got further upside to come. Related Reading: XRP Price Could See 20% Bounce To $3.4 If This Trendline Holds Additionally, he indicated that confirming signals from the total altcoin market capitalization (Total 3) reinforce the bullish scenario. This is important, as the total altcoin market cap registered its highest monthly close ever in August. As long as XRP bulls maintain its price above $2.8 to $3, then it is still on track to reach the projected $19.27 price target. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.02, up by 3.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Austin Hilton, a well-known crypto analyst, has issued a fresh warning to XRP investors, urging them not to “get caught” amid the cryptocurrency’s latest market movement. With XRP showing signs of volatility and uncertainty surrounding its next major price direction, the analyst’s cautionary message serves as a reminder for traders to stay vigilant and patient.  The Trap XRP Investors Need To Avoid Hilton recently shared a video report on X social media, cautioning XRP holders about a common trap that they often fall into during extended consolidation phases. He explained that XRP has been trading sideways within a narrow range of $2.80 and $3.30 for roughly 48 days now. While some investors may interpret this stagnation as a sign of weakness or lack of future potential, Hilton argues the opposite.  Related Reading: XRP Price Could See 20% Bounce To $3.4 If This Trendline Holds According to him, periods of consolidation should not be viewed as setbacks but as essential, healthy stages in an asset’s price cycle and long-term growth. Drawing on his 30 years of investment experience, Hilton noted that both stocks and cryptocurrencies naturally progress through phases of upward surges, corrections, and sideways movement. He added that the real risk comes when investors misinterpret a consolidation phase as the end of growth, leading them to prematurely sell their holdings out of boredom, frustration, or anxiety.  The analyst further emphasized that sideways trading in cryptocurrencies is often a precursor to significant upward moves. He highlighted XRP’s performance earlier in July, when, after a similar period of consolidation, the altcoin rallied by more than 61%. To him, this serves as evidence that XRP uses these quiet pullback periods to build strong support levels before advancing to higher price ranges.  Building on this point, Hilton advised new and inexperienced investors not to fall for the consolidation trick and abandon their positions, as doing so could mean missing out on potential gains. He also reminded holders that external market events such as the upcoming FOMC Meeting could act as a catalyst for a price breakout after extended periods of calm.  Expert Predicts XRP Explosive Surge To $6 In other news, crypto market expert Gordon offered a bold projection for XRP’s price trajectory, predicting a potentially rapid surge to $6. He observed that XRP has been consolidating at its current level for months, suggesting that it is preparing for a strong breakout to new all-time highs.  Related Reading: XRP To Surpass Bitcoin? Pundit Reveals What Will Drive The Takeover The analyst’s monthly chart supports his bullish outlook. It shows steady upward momentum, with increasingly larger candlesticks that reflect strong buying pressure and renewed confidence among investors. Despite seeing a slight surge from the $2.8 range to $2.95, at the time of writing, XRP would still have to rally by approximately 103% to reach the projected $6 target. Fortunately, the explosive candle highlighted in Gordon’s chart demonstrates that the altcoin has entered a stage where price accelerations could happen swiftly.  Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

In the latest “The Weekly Insight,” analyst @CryptoinsightUK places XRP at the center of the next market advance—mapping a five-wave structure that targets Wave 3 ≈ $6.50, Wave 4 holding > $5, and Wave 5 ≈ $9.69. The call is anchored in XRP’s relative strength and a broader macro setup that he describes bluntly: “I’m bullish. I’m bullish. I’m bullish.” Near term, he concedes Bitcoin can still “dip in the short term and reclaim some of the liquidity sitting below us,” but he argues that any shakeout precedes an aggressive upswing that should favor leaders like XRP. The author’s relative-strength case is explicit: “XRP has been leading the way this cycle,” adding it “is about to begin its next major leg higher.” He contrasts structures: “If you overlay the Ethereum chart on top of XRP’s, the difference is striking… XRP… held strong around all-time highs… has pushed above both its previous all-time high and the $2.70 swing high, and is now consolidating above them. Related Reading: XRP To Surpass Bitcoin? Pundit Reveals What Will Drive The Takeover Meanwhile, Ethereum is still struggling to reclaim and hold its all-time high.” He continues: “This relative strength is important… it could continue to outperform the largest altcoin in the market,” with spot ETF speculation for XRP “possibly coming in September or October” and potential policy tailwinds adding fuel. What Needs To Happen For XRP To Hit $9.69? Zooming out, the newsletter situates XRP within a risk-on macro backdrop that could lift Bitcoin and TOTAL/Total2 and, by extension, turbo-charge altcoin leadership. Equities breadth is the opening bid: the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, and Russell 2000 are, he writes, “on the edge of or already in expansion,” with monthly RSI in overbought historically preceding “at least a few months, and often a prolonged period, of strong bull market activity.” He calls it a “clear signal, a green light for risk on.” On cross-asset signals, @CryptoinsightUK underscores the directional tie between Bitcoin and gold, despite gold’s “risk-off” label. Chinese gold demand and Western currency debasement, in his view, strengthen Bitcoin’s long-term case. Historically, gold bottoms have led Bitcoin bottoms by an average ~126 days across four instances; applied to the latest sequence, he sketches a probabilistic Bitcoin bottom window around September 15, 2025. The liquidity map remains pivotal. On higher timeframes, he sees “extremely dense” liquidity above Bitcoin, arguing that once the current range resolves, “the move will likely be sharp and aggressive,” with a roadmap that “quickly” carries BTC toward $144,000 and beyond. For alt breadth, he points to Total2. By his analog, today’s structure rhymes with an “orange circle” precursor from last cycle; from that point to the peak, alts rallied about 350% (technically ~366%). A repeat implies ~$7.73 trillion for Total2—an environment in which “XRP will be one of the clear leaders in the next leg of this market cycle,” provided Bitcoin prints new highs and Total2 breaks out. Related Reading: XRP Will Never Crash 90% Again, Says Digital Ascension CEO The companion “Charts of the Week” (by @thecryptomann1) sharpen the market’s near-term complexion and how it may channel into XRP. Stablecoin exchange reserves (ETH- and Tron-based) sit at all-time highs—~$66 billion (≈ $53B USDT, $13B USDC), a cache of “dry powder” that could chase upside on a breakout or cushion a final dip toward ~$105,000 on BTC before reversing. A caution flag: the 30-day change in aggregate whale holdings has “dropped off a cliff” recently—“alarming,” he notes, and not to be ignored even if it doesn’t spell disaster.

Despite recent volatility and price swings, XRP has remained firm above critical support levels, with technical indicators suggesting a possible breakout. Crypto analysts who closely monitor momentum on the daily time frame, particularly the Relative Strength Index (RSI), indicate that XRP bulls are regaining strength, paving the way for a potential move above the $ 3.60 mark.  RSI Turns Bullish As XRP Eyes Higher Levels In his latest analysis on X social media, crypto market expert Dark Defender noted that XRP’s price structure is holding steady above essential support zones, with the $2.85 level emerging as a pivotal point in the current cycle. Previously identified as strong support, $ 2.85 has now flipped into a resistance barrier.  Related Reading: XRP Price Could See 20% Bounce To $3.4 If This Trendline Holds A sustained push above this threshold could unlock a path toward $3 and beyond, ultimately setting the stage for a potential retest of the $3.6 weekly resistance line. At the time of writing, the price of XRP is $2.87, meaning a surge above $ 3.60 would represent a significant increase of more than 25%.  On the daily chart, XRP has completed a corrective ABC pattern, with the recent bounce from the $2.74 level marking the start of a new upward wave. The RSI indicator has begun trending upward from oversold conditions, signaling renewed buying momentum. This bullish divergence strengthens the case for a potential breakout rally, provided that price maintains its footing above the retracement levels of 23.6% and 38.2%.  Currently, momentum indicators suggest that XRP’s next target lies in the $2.85 and $3 zone, with the possibility of a stronger increase if volume supports the move. Dark Defender’s analysis underscores that although XRP’s price action remains slow and consolidating, its structure continues to align with bullish technical signals, reinforcing expectations of further upside in the near term.   Analyst Signals Caution As XRP Exchange Reserves Spike Crypto analyst Greg Miller has announced on X that XRP exchange reserves have surged to a one-year high—a development often interpreted as a sign of selling pressure. Sharp increases in reserves typically suggest that more tokens are being moved onto centralized platforms, with investors possibly preparing for liquidation. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The XRP Price If 10% Of Global Assets Are Tokenized The CryptoQuant‘s chart reveals a clear divergence between XRP’s exchange holdings and price action. While the cryptocurrency is consolidating around the $2.7 to $2.9 range, the sharp uptick in reserves reflects growing caution among investors. Historically, similar trends have preceded price corrections, and XRP’s earlier breakdown from the $2.74 level confirms that bearish momentum has not fully dissipated.  According to Miller, the surge in reserves introduces a significant risk in September. While some technicals favor an upside breakout, the heavy supply in exchanges could cap gains prematurely, stalling any meaningful rally. Without a surge in demand to absorb inflows, Miller argues that XRP’s recovery toward $3 or higher remains unlikely. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

New updates have been made to Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL) as the network looks to dominate and gain more traction. This is also a positive for XRP, which serves as the network’s bridge currency.  Ripple’s XRP Ledger Gets A New Update In an X post, XRP validator Vet revealed that the credentials amendment on the XRP Ledger is now active. He explained that credentials can be applied to attest to compliance requirements, such as KYC and AML, for a user or institution and issued to their decentralized identity. This helps to further build trust in the network.   Related Reading: Ripple Vs. SWIFT Battle Heating Up As Exec Lands Major Blow To XRP Vet also noted that the amendment has all been done natively on the XRP Ledger. Notably, this update is part of a larger move to enable compliance amendments on the network. With decentralized identities and credentials implemented, Vet indicated that their next focus is to work on the permissioned domains and permissioned DEX. Ripple and other XRP Ledger stakeholders aim to utilize these compliance amendments to attract more institutions to the network, enabling them to adhere to traditional finance (TradFi) standards even on-chain. This also comes as the network aims to become the go-to for tokenization. Ripple recently stated that 10% of global assets will become tokenized by 2030, and is undoubtedly looking to tap into this trillion-dollar market. Ripple Engineer Breaks Down Significance Of This Update In an X post, Ripple engineer Kenny explained that the credentials update gives developers and businesses a way to handle identity checks and compliance requirements directly on the XRP Ledger. With these, they do not need to approve each account one by one manually.  The Ripple engineer noted that traditionally, verifying user credentials like KYC requires multiple checks across different platforms.  Related Reading: Pundit Says Ripple Is The New SWIFT — Here’s What Is Driving It Kenny remarked that this process isn’t only inefficient but also increases privacy risks because sensitive information has to be shared multiple times. As such, this makes the XRP Ledger credentials update vital. The Ripple engineer revealed that this feature enables credentials to be issued, stored, and verified natively on the XRPL.  He noted the benefits of how this allows users to prove a required criterion without undergoing repeated verification. Kenny also stated that this will improve the onboard process and enhance security, while maintaining privacy. The Ripple engineer further gave an example of what a typical flow will look like using this credentials feature.  A business will define the credentials it requires, such as the KYC, then a trusted issuer creates and signs that credential. The user then accepts and stores these credentials in their XRP Ledger account. That way, the credential is checked on-chain whenever the user interacts with the business. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.83, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP has drawn plenty of comparisons over the past few months, but one analyst believes the best way to understand its future is to look at Amazon’s past. Nick Anderson, better known as BULLRUNNERS on the social media platform X, says XRP is going through the same kind of consolidation Amazon faced in 2010, and it still has the potential to rally to $200. The key difference, however, is the patience investors will need before this rally can happen. Related Reading: XRP Poised For Amazon-Like Boom? Analyst Predicts $200 Rally Amazon’s Breakout Holds The Clues For XRP XRP’s price action in the past seven days has been highlighted by a trading range between $2.8 and $2.9. The cryptocurrency now seems stuck within this range, but it has managed to hold above $2.8 for the meantime. Interestingly, Anderson likened this consolidation move to a similar retest of a previous high by the Amazon stock (AMZN) back in 2010.  In his post, Anderson highlighted how Amazon stock spent roughly 3,800 days consolidating after the dot-com crash before finally breaking past its previous high and entering a meteoric run. However, before entering into this meteoric run, it consolidated for a few months in 2010 just after breaking above its previous high during the dot-com bubble.  According to Anderson, XRP’s current structure is tracing out a massive cup and handle that mirrors this exact Amazon stock setup, with the cryptocurrency now using past highs as support in the same way Amazon did. Just as Amazon transformed once it cleared resistance, Anderson believes XRP could follow a similar breakout trajectory that could eventually push its price above $100, and possibly as high as $200. Short-Term Expectations Between $5 And $30 In his assessment, Anderson noted that this predicted rally to $200 might take many years to come to fruition. Comparing today’s price of around $2.80 to Amazon’s $5 launch point before its monumental rally, this would probably be the best time for XRP investors to accumulate for the long term. For younger investors, holding XRP for the next 10 to 15 years could prove transformative, with as little as 10,000 XRP amounting to $1 million in value if the cryptocurrency eventually climbs to $100. Despite his long-term forecast, Anderson is more cautious about what XRP might achieve this cycle. He stated that while a push to $100 in the near term would be “absolutely insane”, a more realistic target for this bull run could lie between $5 and $30. After that, he expects another correction to set in before the rally resumes sometime around the end of the decade.  Related Reading: MemeCore Explodes 3,800% For ATH — But Is A Collapse Around The Corner? Anderson also left room for a more explosive scenario, noting that XRP could deliver what he called a “giga rally” if liquidity rushes into the market faster than expected. This is based on the growing anticipation around the adoption of ISO 20022 by the US Federal Reserve. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.81.

Jake Clover, CEO of Digital Ascension Group and a long-time XRP advocate, used a new video published on September 3 to deliver an unambiguous message to traders waiting for one last capitulation: he doesn’t think a 90% collapse is coming back. “I would love it too. I don’t think it’s going to happen,” Clover said, arguing that the market already gave skeptics ample time to buy during prolonged sub-$1 ranges. “When it was 50 cents, nobody wanted to buy it… You had three years to buy it at 50 cents or 30 cents or 40 cents or whatever it was. It ain’t coming back.” Will XRP Never Crash By 90% Again? Clover roots that conviction not in a single catalyst but in what he describes as a structural change to XRP’s market microstructure. He repeatedly cites the role of spot exchange-traded products – Bloomberg’s James Seyffart puts SEC approval in 2025 odds at 95% – and the execution algorithms used by institutional liquidity providers as a persistent source of demand that alters the asset’s downside dynamics. “It’s going to be sustained here because of the ETFs, because of the TWAP and VWAP and them entering the market. They’re not letting it come back down,” he said, referring to time- and volume-weighted execution that systematically slices large orders into the market over extended intervals. Related Reading: XRP Millionaires Dump After Major Accumulation Trend, Will It Be A Red September? He frames the current tape as a test the asset has already passed. “If it was going to [crash], there’s a bunch of stuff that rolled up and then it’s back down 90% since it went up. XRP hadn’t done that,” Clover noted, contrasting XRP’s behavior with other, sharper retracements elsewhere in crypto. In his reading, support has repeatedly asserted itself on the cross with Bitcoin as well. “It’s back on the line here where there’s been support on the Bitcoin and XRP chart. I think it’s up from here, especially if Bitcoin keeps going up,” he said, tying XRP’s path to the broader beta of the cycle. Clover also connects his outlook to a suite of prospective macro and market-structure tailwinds. He points to what he calls a “reverse carry trade,” the prospect of “adoption for the backend settlement of the stock market,” and the influence of ETF flows as scenario drivers that could render near-term entry prices largely irrelevant over a longer horizon. In one of the video’s most pointed passages, he underscores that view with a blunt thought experiment on future price levels: “You’re not going to care if you bought it at $2.30 or you bought it at $2.40 or you bought it at $2 when it’s a hundred dollars or $200 or $500.” Related Reading: XRP Will Lead The Next Upswing, Says Analyst — Here’s The Case The operational takeaway he offers to investors is procedural rather than tactical. Clover is explicit that market timing is a losing game for nearly everyone and that disciplined accumulation outperforms attempts to catch exact bottoms. “Dollar cost averaging is going to be your best bet 99.9% of the time,” he said. “Trying to time the market, you’re not going to do it. It’s like 1% of traders that ever timed the market well. And those that dollar cost average in, you’re going to win. Like you can’t, you can’t lose doing that. You’re going to get highs and lows, but your average is going to be pretty fair.” Risk management, in his account, is non-negotiable. He warns explicitly against taking on debt or leverage that compromises basic obligations in order to chase upside. “Don’t leverage yourself or over leverage yourself to the point where you can’t make your bills or can’t pay other stuff,” Clover said, adding that small, regular allocations made only from surplus cash are the appropriate way to express conviction while surviving the volatility that remains endemic to the asset class. If that thesis holds, the implication for strategy—again in Clover’s own words—is to stop waiting for the ghost of an old regime. “I know everybody wants the most they can get on stuff,” he said, “but dollar cost averaging is going to be your best bet… When you have some extra liquidity, buy a little bit.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.87.

The debate over whether XRP could surpass Bitcoin has gained intensity in this cycle, and many analysts and commentators have weighed in on the possibility. A recent video posted on X by crypto analyst and commentator CryptoSensei touched on this discussion, where he made the bold claim that developments in interoperability, regulation, and tokenized real-world assets could eventually put XRP ahead of Bitcoin. The Pundit’s Claim: XRP In Front Of Bitcoin Although Bitcoin is currently the largest cryptocurrency, XRP’s positioning this cycle has increased discussions of a shift in dominance. Interestingly, XRP has overtaken many cryptocurrencies in the past few months and is now on the heels of Ethereum in terms of market cap. Related Reading: Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal Calls ‘Full Port’ Into XRP, Ethereum In his video, CryptoSensei focused on the broader trajectory of blockchain adoption over the next decade, which is going to include the integration of real-world assets like stocks, bonds, derivatives, and real estate into digital systems. He noted that only a small fraction of these markets are currently on-chain, and he predicted that this figure will perhaps rise just five to ten percent in the next ten years. The pace of this growth will be determined by global regulatory cooperation, where working groups from the G7 and G20 align laws to allow value to move seamlessly across borders. Interoperability of blockchains would be essential in this process. As such, CryptoSensei highlighted the role of companies like Chainlink, Ripple, and others that are connecting real-world assets to blockchain platforms, and he specifically called out XRP as having the potential to rise to the top. “Obviously, we would love to see XRP number one in front of Bitcoin,” he said, adding that the combination of regulation, interoperability, and tokenization could make this outcome possible. The Altcoin To Surpass Bitcoin? Ripple and its cryptocurrency XRP have long been recognized for their strong ties with banks, payment providers, and financial institutions worldwide. According to Ripple, XRP was designed with a focus on real-world utility in cross-border payments and settlement.  Related Reading: XRP Price Holds Macro Consolidation Zone, Wave 3 Surge Could Send Price To $5 This institutional integration distinguishes XRP from Bitcoin, and many analysts have argued adoption by financial institutions is the only way XRP can beat Bitcoin to become the number one cryptocurrency. Crypto analyst BarriC suggested that the adoption of XRP by institutions could see its price settle well above $1,000. Another important factor that might cause XRP to overtake Bitcoin lies in the growing use of the XRP Ledger for tokenization. Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization has grown massively in the past few weeks on the XRP Ledger, with the network growing as the platform for creating and managing tokenized assets.  Tokenization of real-world assets is viewed by many as one of the largest growth opportunities for blockchain technology, with trillions of dollars in value expected to migrate on-chain in the next few decades. This will undoubtedly bode well for the XRP price if the XRP Ledger can capitalize well on the tokenization trend. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Costa has made an ultra-bullish prediction for the XRP price, stating that it could reach $473,214. He explained that such a massive price surge could happen thanks to tokenization on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). XRP Price To Reach $473,214 If This Happens In an X post, Costa predicted that the XRP price would reach $473,214 if 10% of global assets got tokenized onto the XRPL. This followed Ripple’s statement that 10% of global assets are expected to be tokenized by 2030. The analyst expects these assets, which amount to $50 trillion, to be tokenized on the XRP Ledger.  Related Reading: Crypto Exchange Reveals When XRP Price Will Cross $2,000 Costa declared that the amount of inflows and utility will most definitely cause the XRP price to skyrocket. He also noted that a potential supply shock will push the altcoin higher. Meanwhile, the analyst alluded to a market cap multiplier to explain how the price increase will happen. He stated that for every 10 billion of inflows, XRP will increase by 516x, moving the altcoin’s market cap to $5.3 trillion.  Costa then broke down the calculation for how the XRP price would reach $473,214. He divided $50 trillion, which represents 10% of the global assets, by $10 billion, which is the amount he projects as the inflows. The division amounted to $5,000, which he then multiplied by the projected $5.3 trillion market cap, leading to $26.5 quadrillion.  The analyst noted that dividing the current supply by this will result in an XRP price of $473,000. However, Costa admitted that these projections are simply hypothetical and that there is no 100% guarantee of 10% of the global assets being tokenized on the XRP Ledger.  XRP Still Expected To Rise Higher The XRP price is currently on a downtrend, but is still expected to witness a bullish reversal and reach new highs. Crypto analyst Matthew Dixon noted that the price is expected to surge soon above the highs previously recorded this year. He noted XRP’s pattern is currently corrective and should resolve higher, especially with the softening of monetary policy.  The Fed is expected to make a 25-basis-point (bps) rate cut at the next FOMC meeting, which is bullish for the XRP price. This could inject more liquidity into the altcoin’s ecosystem and serve as the catalyst for the next leg up. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicted that the XRP price could rally to as high as $6 soon enough. However, he warned that the altcoin needs to hold above its current range as it prepares for this major breakout.  Related Reading: Is XRP A Meme Coin?

The XRP price is still showing bullish momentum despite the previous wave of downtrends. After falling below $2.8, a quick bounce was able to reclaim this level once again as support, putting it on a path lined with further gains. With the formation of an ascending trendline, the XRP price may be sitting on a ticking time bomb primed for explosion, and this would send it back toward its July peaks as bulls find their way back into the market again. XRP Price Breakout Could Notch 20% Gains The analysis from CMF Trading Point shows that the XRP price is at a critical level after the formation of an ascending trend line. This trend line has always been bullish, and with the return of bulls, it might be as bullish as it gets. Given this, the crypto analyst has given a reasonable target for where the XRP price could be headed next. Related Reading: Bitcoin, Ethereum Open Interest Are Sitting Close To ATH Levels, What Happened Last Time? Since the price is currently needling around the $2.82 level, it shows that there is still strength after the bulls reclaimed the $2.8 support. If this level holds and the ascending trendline breakout is completed, then the first target from here is for the XRP price to reach $3. Once this first target is achieved, then the price can quickly move on to the next target, which lies at $3.40. A completion would mean a 20% total increase, while still providing room for a possible continuation. If momentum holds, it could set the XRP price on a path to new all-time highs. What Happens If The Ascending Trendline Fails To Hold? In the event that the ascending trendline fails and the XRP price falls further, then it could spell a period of downtrend for the cryptocurrency. The analyst explains that the XRP price actually needs to stay above $2.20-$2.25 for the bullish breakout to remain valid. Otherwise, it would mean trouble.

CRYPTOWZRD, in a recent market update, noted that XRP ended the session with an indecisive close, signaling uncertainty in the short term. According to the analyst, the key lies in XRPBTC—once it begins to move bullish, XRP could quickly ignite an impulsive upside rally. Symmetrical Triangle On XRPBTC Points To Upside Potential In expanding his analysis, CRYPTOWZRD emphasized that both the daily candle of XRP and XRPBTC closed indecisively, leaving traders on edge about the next major move. He pointed out that the relationship between Bitcoin dominance and XRPBTC could be a decisive factor. Should Bitcoin dominance weaken further, it would likely give XRPBTC the strength it needs to move bullishly and trigger a breakout from its symmetrical triangle formation. Related Reading: Is XRP A Meme Coin? Analyst Reveals How Whales Are Playing The Game According to CRYPTOWZRD, this potential breakout in XRPBTC is critical because it would naturally extend to XRP’s price action. Such a scenario could provide the fuel needed for XRP to shift out of consolidation and begin a more impulsive upside run. The analyst further noted that if XRP turns bullish, it would not only trigger momentum but also allow the asset to break out of its daily lower-high trendline. This move, he explained, would come from a double-bottom formation visible on the daily chart. With these confluences aligning, the technical setup appears increasingly favorable for a strong push to the upside. CRYPTOWZRD highlighted $3.65 as the next significant resistance level to watch. A decisive breakout above this point would mark a pivotal moment for XRP, as it would pave the way for a new all-time high. To stay ahead of the move, CRYPTOWZRD concluded that his focus will remain on lower-time frame chart formations for now, allowing him to spot quick scalp opportunities. XRP Stuck in Sideways Action: Key Resistance In Focus Giving his final verdict, CRYPTOWZRD revealed that the intraday chart of XRP is currently moving sideways, showing no clear direction in the short term. He explained that the $2.94 level remains the key resistance zone to watch, as it could dictate whether momentum shifts in favor of the bulls. Related Reading: XRP Price To Rally 5,600% To $200? Crypto Analyst Lays Out The Possibilities According to the expert, a decisive move above the $2.94 resistance would open the door for a strong long opportunity. He added that he intends to take advantage of that setup, but only if Bitcoin’s market structure supports the idea, reinforcing the importance of broader market conditions. However, CRYPTOWZRD cautioned that if XRP continues to hold below the $2.94 level, more sideways volatility is likely in the near term. In this case, patience will be essential, as the market would need more time to mature before offering the next reliable trading opportunity.

XRP’s large holder cohort, specifically addresses holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP, has shifted from accumulation in the second half of August to significant dumping at the start of September.  On-chain data from analytics platform Santiment reveals a sharp reversal in holdings, both in terms of circulating supply percentage and the number of coins held by this cohort. This change raises concerns about the sustainability of XRP’s price, which has been facing rejections above $2.8, and whether September could be a bearish month for the token. XRP Millionaires Start September With A Selloff XRP millionaire wallets, which are addresses holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP coins, aggressively increased their holdings during the second half of August. Based on the current price of XRP, each of these addresses is sitting on $28 million and $280 million worth of XRP, depending on the size of their wallets. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Yet To Hit Its First Bearish Target – Details Particularly, Santiment’s data shows that the percentage of XRP supply held by these addresses rose from 11.67% on August 16 to 12.19% by the end of the month. In terms of numbers, their stash grew from about 7.5 billion XRP coins to 7.85 billion XRP. This surge in accumulation showed the confidence among large investors, which contributed to XRP successfully holding above the $3 price level throughout the month. However, September has opened with an abrupt reversal. On September 1, whale holdings accounted for 12.19% of the circulating supply, but by September 3, that figure had dropped to 11.77%. In coin terms, the balance fell from 7.85 billion XRP to 7.61 billion XRP, wiping out much of the late August accumulation in just a few days. This decline is clearly illustrated in Santiment’s chart below, which shows a synchronized dip in both percentage supply and absolute holdings. This rapid offloading means that these millionaire wallets may be taking profits after August’s rally, and it introduces downside pressure that could have effects on XRP’s price action throughout September. Could This Mean A Red September For XRP? September has been a mixed month for XRP, with both strong rallies and painful corrections shaping investor sentiment. According to data from CryptoRank, the last time XRP saw a red September was back in 2021, when it fell sharply by 20.1%. Since then, however, XRP has managed to string together three consecutive green Septembers, including a 46.2% increase in September 2022. Related Reading: XRP Price Gets $20 Target: The 2 Scenarios That Could Play Out From Here This track record shows that while September has the potential to bring losses, it has also been highlighted by gains. Although it is too early to declare a repeat scenario of a red September, the sell-off from millionaires at the beginning of September sets a worrying precedent. XRP’s price action is already showing signs of strain, with the token repeatedly facing rejections above $2.8 in recent days. If these millionaire wallets continue to offload their holdings, the bullish sentiment surrounding XRP may weaken, which may lead to further declines. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.82, up by 0.2% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Historical data provides a bullish outlook for the XRP price this month, with the altcoin likely to record significant gains based on past performance. Specifically, the average monthly returns show that XRP could even record double-digit gains.  Average Monthly Returns Point To Notable Gains For The XRP Price Cryptorank data shows that the XRP price has historically recorded an average monthly return of 13.8% in September. This suggests that the altcoin could again record positive returns this time around, especially as it looks to reclaim the psychological $3 level. Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that the altcoin has closed the last three Septembers in the green. Related Reading: Is XRP A Meme Coin? Analyst Reveals How Whales Are Playing The Game In September 2022, the XRP price recorded a gain of 46.2%, its largest over the past 4 years. It also saw an increase of almost 8% in September 2023. The altcoin has so far recorded a gain of nearly 3% this month and looks on course to replicate its historical positive performance in September.  Notably, there are bullish fundamentals that could spark a run for the XRP price. This includes the projected 25 basis points (bps) rate cut that the Fed is expected to make at the September 17 FOMC meeting. There is currently a 99.7% chance that the Fed will make this cut, according to CME FedWatch data.  A Fed rate cut is bullish for altcoins, including XRP, as it could lead to increased risk-on sentiment among investors and cause more liquidity to flow into these assets. Meanwhile, the XRP ETFs are expected to receive the SEC’s nod in October, and given the market’s forward-looking nature, the XRP price could rally in anticipation of this occurrence next month. The ETFs are expected to attract new capital into the altcoin’s ecosystem.  XRP Eyes Rally To $3.40 In an X post, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicted that the XRP price could rally to around $3.40. He noted that with the altcoin currently trading at around $2.877, all eyes are on how it will perform around this level. If XRP closes above $3.077, the analyst stated that it could increase the chance of breaching the $3.40 mark.  Related Reading: XRP Price Action Turns Bearish, Analyst Says Crash Below $1 Is Coming Interestingly, the analyst suggested that the XRP price could rally by over 200% and reach $6.12 if it successfully breaches the $3.40 mark. His accompanying chart showed that XRP could claim this $6 range this month. Meanwhile, in another X post, Egrag Crypto said that the range of $3.077 to $3.13 is a key area, as a strong close above it with high volume could pave the way for the next move.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.85, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

In a recent post on X, crypto analyst Pumpius argued that the recent drop in XRP’s price is not natural but the result of deliberate actions by Binance. According to him, the exchange wants to protect its position because the digital currency poses a threat to the system it has built over the years. He says the exchange is doing more than just selling tokens; it is working to hold XRP back.  Binance Accused Of Coordinating XRP Price Suppression Pumpius says Binance is not only selling XRP but is also actively manipulating the market around it. He points to sudden drops in liquidity, heavy waves of sell pressure, and red flashes on charts that appear whenever there’s an announcement of positive Ripple news. He claims this is not a coincidence but evidence of coordination and a strategy to keep XRP from breaking out. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Set For Explosive Rally If This Structure Holds The analyst stresses that the real reason Binance targets XRP is that it is different. XRP is not a meme or speculative bet but a payment infrastructure. Pumpius argues it could replace the liquidity pools that Binance has used for years, and if that happens, the exchange’s market-making business could crumble. He also warns that it is not only Binance that is involved. According to him, powerful investors, legacy financial players, and offshore networks all see XRP as a threat. He says that because XRP runs on transparent rails, it could expose money flows they prefer to keep hidden. Therefore, price suppression becomes their primary tool to slow down the process. Why Suppression Could Backfire As XRP Price Fundamentals Strengthen Despite these heavy claims, Pumpius argues that the pressure on XRP may backfire.  The crypto expert points to Ripple and its ecosystem, noting that the fundamentals are strengthening every day. New payment corridors are opening in Japan and the UAE. Projects such as DNA Protocol are using the XRP Ledger to anchor IDs and even genetic data.  Related Reading: Crypto Adviser For The Ultra Wealthy Tells XRP Investors What To Do As Coins Turn To Real Money Pumpius believes this shows the suppression is artificial. The fundamentals are exploding, he says, while the adverse price action comes from deliberate dumping. He adds that every time Binance sells, more XRP moves into self-custody wallets. Instead of weakening the community, this decentralizes the asset even more. Holders are preparing for the day when real utility drives demand at a scale far beyond speculation. In his view, when that switch flips, Binance’s paper games will be meaningless compared to trillion-dollar settlement flows. He warns that the exchange may think it is winning now, but it’s only exposing the truth about the digital currency. XRP, he says, is not just a trader’s coin. It is the backbone of a new financial order. And according to him, no amount of dumping can stop already living rails. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price remains a major focus in the crypto market, with analysts and traders often debating its long-term trajectory. A fresh report from crypto exchange Changelly has provided a new perspective, offering detailed projections for XRP’s future performance. The report reveals when the cryptocurrency could finally surpass the $2,000 milestone, alongside expectations for short- and long-term price action.  XRP Price Forecasted To Surpass $2,200 By 2040 According to Changelly’s latest price analysis released on September 2, XRP is projected to surpass $2,000 in November 2040. Analysts at the exchange forecast that XRP could hit a maximum price of $2,215 in December 2040, marking a period of sustained explosive growth. In the same year, the minimum price is estimated at $1,825, while the average trading level is anticipated to reach approximately $1,969. Related Reading: Pundit Reveals What Will Happen When XRP Price Hits $100 And $1,000 What makes this bullish forecast even more striking is that in the years leading up to 2040, XRP is expected to remain below $130. This suggests that the token could undergo an unprecedented growth spurt by the time it reaches $2,000, potentially surging between 1,430% and 73,979% from its projected 2026-2034 range. If a rally above $2,000 is realized, 2040 would be a transformative year for XRP, as it would mark the first time the token enters the quadruple-digit territory. Looking further ahead, Changelly projects that by 2050, XRP could climb even higher, reaching a maximum value of $2,840 by December. Analysts at the exchange expect the token’s average price in that year to stabilize around $2,604, while the minimum price could be approximately $2,485. While these projections suggest that volatility will remain a part of XRP’s performance, it’s overall growth prospects point toward a significantly higher valuation.  Changelly’s XRP Price Forecast For 2025 While Changelly’s long-term price forecast highlights XRP’s explosive potential, its technical analysis for 2025 paints a more cautious picture. The exchange predicts that in 2025, XRP could decline to a minimum value of $2.49 and a maximum of $2.82, with an average trading price of $3.14. Currently, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.83, meaning its growth for this year is expected to be limited.  Related Reading: It Is ‘Genuinely Impossible’ For XRP To Hit $1,000; Pundit Warns Changelly notes that XRP’s recent market performance has been relatively muted. It has declined by 3.65% over the past week after erasing about $0.05 from its value within the last month. This downturn has placed the cryptocurrency in a dip, with analysts interpreting it as a short-term buying opportunity.  Technical indicators like the Moving Averages (MA) reinforce XRP’s bearish price action. Changelly notes that the 50-day MA is trending downward on the four-hour chart, pointing to weakening short-term momentum. The 200-day MA, which began declining in late August 2025, also signals ongoing pressure in XRP’s longer-term trend.  The crypto exchange also highlights that XRP’s market sentiment is 60% bearish, with a Fear & Greed Index score of 49, signaling neutrality but edging toward fear.

XRP is trading below $3 after repeated rejections above $2.8 in the past 24 hours. A new chart analysis from crypto MadWhale shows the pressure building inside a descending channel that might push the XRP price down to $2.4. However, what stands out in his analysis is not just the price target; it’s the bigger question of whether XRP is starting to behave like a meme coin that is being controlled by crowd psychology and whale activity. XRP’s Psychological Cycle That Resembles Meme Coins In his analysis, which was posted on the TradingView platform, crypto analyst MadWhale outlined the repeating psychological cycle that often dominates meme coin markets and suggested that XRP may not be immune from it.  Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Yet To Hit Its First Bearish Target – Details The cycle begins with excitement, where social media buzz generates hype, followed by greed as traders rush in without much thought. This stage then shifts into social proof, when influencers amplify the golden opportunity narrative to pull in new investors at peak prices. It is at this very moment that whales begin quietly offloading their positions and cause the meme coin to enter a sharp correction. The result is panic selling by small traders, culminating in a capitulation where whales buy back cheap, restarting the cycle all over again.  According to MadWhale, this trend is not limited to meme coins alone, but XRP’s current trading behavior is showing signs of fitting the same mold. MadWhale described whales as “masters of illusion,” capable of buying large chunks to pump the price, spread optimism, and then sell into the frenzy.  This strategy is starting to create a cycle of retail fear and greed in XRP, where smaller traders are often left holding losses while whales re-enter the market at bargain prices. He noted that technical tools like Volume Profile, RSI, and the Fear and Greed Index can expose these plays. For instance, heavy volume accumulation at specific levels combined with overbought RSI readings and extreme greed sentiment show the perfect moment when whales start selling.  Descending Channel Points To $2.40 Target According to MadWhale’s chart, XRP is trading within a well-defined descending channel that has shaped its price action since July 19. The repeated rejections around the $3 price zone have caused lower highs that have made it increasingly difficult for bulls to mount a sustained breakout. The most recent rejection was at $3, and the ensuing selling pressure has caused XRP to create successive 12-hour bearish candlesticks. Related Reading: XRP Price Gets $20 Target: The 2 Scenarios That Could Play Out From Here The analyst’s projection on the chart shows a possible 14% decline to another major support resting around $2.40. This zone has been identified as the main daily support area, and reaching it would mark the latest stage of XRP’s corrective move inside the channel. On the other hand, any rebound attempts would first need to clear the $3 resistance. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.80, up by 1.4% in the past 24 hours.

In a video analysis published today, crypto market commentator CryptoInsightUK argues that XRP is poised to front-run the next leg higher across crypto assets, citing a clear structural divergence in liquidity profiles versus Bitcoin and Ethereum on lower-timeframe charts and confirming signals on the XRP/BTC cross. Why XRP Could Outperform BTC And ETH The core of his case is a comparative liquidity mapping across BTC, ETH, and XRP. On Bitcoin, he notes that downside pools around “about 106K” have been a persistent magnet on intraday timeframes, but the daily heatmap still shows heavier clusters above spot. “Now we’re down at these levels, it’s more likely than not that we do continue to take this liquidity here for Bitcoin,” he says. The analyst adds that on the daily timeframe “to the upside there could be a push into this liquidity about $126K–$128K and then we’re starting to see orange liquidity now at $141,000.” He frames any reversal as fast and reflexive: “When we get this move back to the upside… it’s going to be pretty aggressive and people are going to be caught on the wrong side of the trade.” Related Reading: XRP Price Gets $20 Target: The 2 Scenarios That Could Play Out From Here Ethereum’s setup, by contrast, is described as tactically softer after already tapping significant overhead liquidity during its prior pop. On his hourly mapping, the denser pools sit below recent lows, implying a non-trivial risk of mean reversion. “We actually have come back to this sort of area as well and we can see this more dense liquidity again below us sitting at around $4,050ish… the dense liquidity sits about $4,000 to $4,450,” he explains, characterizing ETH as “a bit hands off” for now—while also flagging that today’s US market closure for a public holiday can distort intraday reads. The crux of the bullish divergence is on XRP. On the hourly basis, he shows that XRP has already swept and “taken the red liquidity below,” leaving the “main liquidity… above,” a configuration he views as conducive to an upside reversal if bid momentum emerges. “Is XRP front-running here? Is it going to front-run altcoins?” he asks, pointing to the token’s different placement on the liquidity map relative to BTC and ETH. Extending the lens to relative performance, he highlights the XRP/BTC pair on the four-hour chart, where a prior resistance box has been flipped to support and momentum has repeatedly wicked into oversold territory with constructive reactions. Related Reading: XRP And Dogecoin On The Edge Of ‘Full Port’ Breakout, Says Raoul Pal “When we’re at this level, we want to flip this resistance into support. Currently, we are holding that support,” he says, adding that while such oversold prints do not perfectly call bottoms, “more often than not, they have had a decent reaction, especially when we’re in an area of support like this.” On higher timeframes, he reiterates that XRP’s heavier liquidity sits overhead—interpreting that as dry powder for continuation if spot can reclaim momentum—while BTC still has an attractive path to vacuum upper pools once immediate downside pockets are cleaned. Ethereum, having already consumed much of its near-term upside liquidity, could underperform tactically until its lower clusters are tested or rebalanced. The analyst ties the mosaic together with a cycle view that remains incomplete: “That’s one of the reasons I really don’t think the top is in yet for crypto.” He stresses that the work is descriptive, not prescriptive. “This doesn’t mean that this is my opinion specifically. I’m just showing you charts here,” he says, before reiterating the cycle-long thesis: “I’ve said for the whole cycle, I think XRP is leading.” The coming weeks, he adds, should clarify whether the structural divergence he outlines translates into XRP leadership on the tape as broader market euphoria returns and sidelined traders chase. At press time, XRP traded at $2.77. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

A leading crypto adviser is sending an urgent message to XRP investors. Jake Claver, who advises the ultra-wealthy, says the time to prepare is before XRP becomes real money. He warns that too many investors wait until after profits arrive, and by then it may be too late to avoid problems. Claver explains that early planning could be the best way to protect XRP investor gains and keep them safe. According to him, waiting until the windfall is already in their wallet leaves them exposed and unprepared. Get Your Structure In Place Before XRP Profits Arrive Jake Claver’s first piece of advice in his X post is direct: get your structure in place before profits come in. He says many XRP investors are waiting too long, and that delay can lead to risks that are hard to fix later. As a crypto adviser for the ultra wealthy, Claver has seen how fast success can turn into trouble when investors ignore planning. He makes it clear that action must come before the gains, not after. Related Reading: Analyst Forecasts Bitcoin Price Will Break This Support Level, Can $100,000 Hold? The crypto adviser stresses that XRP investors need to focus on legal, tax, and security planning while they still have time. If these steps are skipped or delayed, investors may face significant burdens when their coins become of real value. Problems can arise quickly, and once they do, they become more complex and more expensive to resolve.  Claver cautions that establishing a structure is not about fear but being smart. Building the right plan now helps investors enjoy their success later without stress. In his view, the best way to secure digital wealth is to take action early, not when the profits are already sitting in the wallet. Trusts, LLCs, And Custody Solutions Built For Digital Assets Jake Claver also points to the tools he thinks work best for building crypto wealth. He says basic templates are not enough for serious investors, and XRP holders need structures made for digital assets if they want their coins to turn into lasting money. The crypto adviser for the ultra-wealthy recommends using digital asset–specific trusts, LLCs, and custody solutions. These solutions could provide XRP investors with lasting financial security, giving them a strong way to protect their wealth and avoid costly mistakes as their digital holdings gradually turn into real money. Related Reading: VanEck CEO Reveals Which Altcoin Is “The Wall Street Token”, It’s Not XRP The tools are not one-size-fits-all but they handle the fast growth and changing rules around digital coins. With the proper setup, XRP investors can protect their profits, pass on wealth to the next generation, and keep it safe from sudden losses. Claver’s warning is clear, asking XRP investors to act early. By putting these protections in place before profits arrive, they can hold on to the value they have built and avoid risks from waiting too long.  Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP has struggled to maintain momentum over the past seven days and has had repeated failures to reclaim higher ground above $2.8. The weekly performance shows a decline of over 4%, and intraday movement in the past 24 hours has shown swings between $2.71 and $2.85.  This price movement is part of a selling pressure that has been building up since XRP lost its grip above $3 on August 28. Interestingly, a technical outlook suggests that this selling pressure might eventually cause XRP’s price action to crash down to $1. Technical Analysis Points To Breakdown Although XRP is currently showing signs of exhaustion just below $3 after its rally in July and the first half of August, many analysts would argue that the rally is still on track to resume anytime soon. However, a technical analysis on the TradingView platform has outlined a distinctly extended bearish scenario for XRP based on its price movements on the three-day candlestick timeframe. Related Reading: XRP Price Gets $20 Target: The 2 Scenarios That Could Play Out From Here According to the chart, the crypto’s structure has shifted in favor of sellers after a rejection at $3. Short-lived rallies have failed to produce any significant higher highs on the 3-day candlestick, which has left the trend vulnerable to breakdowns to lower price zones. At the time of the analysis, XRP appeared to have already begun a significant decline from $2.8 and reached into the $2.7 zone. As shown on the price chart above, as long as XRP’s price action is capped below $3, the selling pressure is likely to keep dominating. The projection shows extended downside moves that could send XRP closer to the $1 mark, with the imbalance from the late 2024 rally leaving few technical supports in between.  The charts highlight a broader bearish wave that could unfold across 2025 if current support levels fail. In such a situation, the token could not only slide below $2 but also risk plunging directly beneath $1 into the $0.70 to $0.50 price range.  This bearish target aligns with the imbalance block that was left behind during XRP’s near-vertical rise earlier in the cycle. Revisiting this level could serve to restore market equilibrium before any chance of a meaningful long-term recovery. XRP’s Price Action At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.82, down by 0.5% and 4.4% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. This drop is part of a broader crypto market pullback amid the most recent Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index data, which has created some uncertainty over US interest rate cut expectations. However, trading volume and volatility are still high, and XRP has managed to rebound by 4% from its intraday low of $2.71.  Related Reading: Crypto Expert Reveals Why Ripple’s XRP Didn’t Fail Years Ago For now, the outlook is whether XRP can hold its ground above $2.7 or if this bearish structure will transform into the crash scenario forecasted by the analyst.

XRP has been facing a stretch of weakness in recent days, struggling to hold above the $3.00 mark and instead pushing downwards below it. Price action on the 4-hour chart shows the token moving within a downward structure, and it broke below $2.9 in the past 24 hours. It is within this context that crypto analyst DustyBC Crypto shared a bearish outlook, pointing out that XRP has not yet reached its first downside target and warning that more decline could still unfold before it enters any new uptrend. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullishness: Ark Invest Boss Scoops $16-M More In BitMine Stock XRP Wave 4 Correction In Progress According to crypto analyst DustyBC Crypto, XRP’s recent moves are part of a broader corrective structure. In his latest update shared on the social media platform X, he explained that the XRP/USD pair has yet to reach its first bearish target, which he identifies as part of a larger wave 4 correction.  The analysis is based on the Elliott Wave structure, which is characterized by three bullish and two corrective impulse waves. Notably, the analyst’s Elliott Wave count shows that XRP has been playing out a corrective Wave 4 move since it peaked at a new all-time high price of $3.65 on July 18, a move that ended the Wave 3 impulse. Based on the Elliott Wave theory, Wave 4 is a brief correction move after Wave 3 just before another bullish Wave 5. Interestingly, the XRP price has declined by about 22.5% since it reached this all-time high.  DustyBC’s analysis has been following this downtrend move in a series of technical analyses that goes as far back as mid-August. According to DustyBC, XRP’s price is expected to continue dropping before eventually setting up for a bullish wave 5 recovery. The chart shared by the analyst indicates that XRP could continue to decline until it reaches the $2.65 to $2.60 price range before Wave 4 eventually bottoms out. Long-Term Perspective Is Positive Despite the bearish short-term forecast, DustyBC noted that the overall outlook for XRP is bullish. He admonished traders not to rush into positions if they are not comfortable with short trades, and long-term holders should instead view the current weakness as discount territory to accumulate more XRP.  XRP has struggled to maintain upward momentum in the past few days, and this lends voice to the notion of a corrective Wave 4 movement. As shown in the 4-hour chart above, XRP was rejected at the $3 price level some days ago, and this has led to a further decline in the past 48 hours.  Related Reading: A New Vision For Money: Hoskinson Predicts Bitcoin Will Hit $10 Trillion Nonetheless, the long-term outlook is bullish, and a Wave 5 bounce could lead to a push to new all-time highs above $3.65. The decisive test now lies in whether XRP can hold support around $2.6 if it reaches there before positioning itself for the next wave higher. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.80, down by 1.4% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

During a recent interview on Fox Business, VanEck CEO Jan van Eck shared his view on which cryptocurrency he believes has become the top choice among Wall Street investors. He made it clear that the answer is not XRP, a token many expected to fill that role. According to him, Ethereum is becoming the primary choice for banks and large financial companies due to the rise of stablecoins and digital currencies, and institutions that want to remain competitive cannot afford to ignore it. Ethereum Crowned The “Wall Street Token” By VanEck CEO Jan van Eck said Ethereum is the blockchain network to which Wall Street institutions are increasingly turning as its smart contracts and staking features provide practical applications in finance. According to the VanEck CEO, this may be why the digital currency is becoming an integral part of today’s financial systems, with institutions already using Ethereum for stablecoin payments, decentralized finance projects, and tokenized assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin OG Who Told People To Buy BTC At $1 Reveals How High XRP Price Will Go Data shows that over 19 public companies are holding 2.7 million ETH in their treasuries. Many of these companies are utilizing staking to generate a steady income. Investment advisers are also involved, with $1.3 billion in Ether ETF exposure, and Goldman Sachs accounts for more than half of that amount. VanEck itself has joined this trend. The global investment management firm launched its Ethereum ETF in July 2024 and now manages over $4 million in assets. While the fund tracks Ether’s price without holding the actual tokens, it underscores the CEO’s confidence in Ethereum’s long-term role in global finance.  Stablecoin Boom Solidifies Ethereum’s Institutional Role Van Eck also connected Ethereum’s rise to the rapid expansion of stablecoins. He points to the GENIUS Act, a new law passed earlier this year that gave banks and institutions greater confidence in using stablecoins backed by the U.S. dollar. The law brought stablecoins into the regulated financial system, and Van Eck said this has only strengthened Ethereum’s role as the backbone of digital finance. Related Reading: Pundit Says Bitcoin Price Crash Is Not Over, Why A Decline Below $100,000 Is Coming “Every bank and every financial services company has to have a way of taking in stablecoins,” Van Eck said. He added that banks will eventually have to build on Ethereum or on chains that use “Ethereum-kind of methodology.” Currently, Ethereum controls over 50% of the $280 billion stablecoin market, and experts say this figure could grow into the trillions in the coming years. Van Eck says Ethereum could benefit the most from the adoption of stablecoins by more banks and institutions. For the VanEck CEO, Ethereum is more than an altcoin; it is now the network at the center of the future financial world. That is why he called it the “Wall Street token” and predicts that it will play a leading role in the stablecoin and digital dollar revolution. Featured image from DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst XForce has set a $20 target for the XRP price. The analyst also highlighted two scenarios that could play out from here for the altcoin to reach this price target.  XRP Price Eyes Rally To $20 In This Market Cycle In an X post, XForce declared that $20 remains the primary cycle target for the XRP price. He noted that the altcoin still faces strong resistance at the $4 level, but this does not alter the overall bullish outlook on the macro level. The analyst then went on to mention a strong impulse continuation and Wave 1-2 Flat continuation as the two scenarios that could play out for the altcoin.  Related Reading: XRP Historical Performance Points To 200% Rally To $9.63 In another analysis, XForce provided an update on the macro trend for the XRP price, noting that it still has plenty of room for its bullish continuation. He further remarked that XRP is bullish as smart money is currently accumulating the token, while others are afraid that this is the market top.  Based on his analysis of the macro count, XForce admitted that there is the short-term possibility of a pullback for the XRP price. However, he remarked that it doesn’t change the implication of the macro count, which shows there is still a lot of room to the upside. The analyst added that there is currently no indication that XRP will experience pullbacks of up to 60% to 70%, as it did in previous cycles.  Instead, he believes that the current XRP price level will act as the base for the Wave 3 impulsive move to the upside. XForce also noted that XRP had a long period of consolidation before its bull run began, which makes it unlikely that it has already topped. The analyst then stated that $10 to $20 is his conservative target for the altcoin, while there is the possibility that it could reach $40 if the bull run extends.  A Breakout Is Imminent For XRP In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that a breakout is imminent for the XRP price as it continues to hold its consolidation pattern. She revealed that price action is tightening right to the apex and that there isn’t much time left before a major breakout. Meanwhile, XRP recently tested the bottom trendline of the consolidation and showed a strong reaction right to the top.  Related Reading: XRP Price To Rally 5,600% To $200? Crypto Analyst Lays Out The Possibilities CasiTrades noted that this further strengthens the consolidation pattern since no new lows were made, and that the count and macro extensions remain valid. The analyst then mentioned that the apex of this entire consolidation is the .382 support at $2.99. She added that a strong breakout through $3.08 and a backtest of that level as support would confirm bullish continuation.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.90, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Raoul Pal says two of crypto’s most-watched legacy altcoins—XRP and Dogecoin—are coiling for their next act. In a new X thread framed as “the Crypto Waiting Room,” the Real Vision and GMI co-founder argues that a broad swath of the market is consolidating before another leg higher, with capital already “full ported” into Ethereum and rotation risk building for assets lower down the stack. XRP And Dogecoin Are In The ‘Waiting Room’ “Let’s talk about the Crypto Waiting Room… many key parts of the crypto ecosystem are in the waiting room ready to launch,” Pal wrote, opening a chart-dense series that he says draws on Global Macro Investor’s probabilistic framework. He placed Total3—the market excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum—“ready to launch from the waiting room,” while stressing that “OTHERS (Outside of Top 10… purest form of Alts season where all shit rises) [is] still in the waiting room but longer to launch.” Related Reading: XRP Holds Golden Retrace At $2.90: Wave 3 Breakout To $5.4 In Sight He added, “ETH… Full Port. SOL… next to leave the waiting room… Sui in the waiting room, will follow SOL.” He was explicit on the two crowd favorites: “DOGE – in the waiting room. Will full port when OTHERS does…” and “XRP… in the process of Full Porting…” Pal’s “waiting room” metaphor is shorthand for a market structure he says rhymes with past cycles: liquidity first concentrates in the highest-quality, most institutionally accepted assets, then rotates down the risk curve as momentum broadens. “People need to learn patience. The path is clear… but never, ever expect tick for tick perfection. It’s the pattern that counts,” he cautioned with regards to the infamous M2 money supply chart, emphasizing that GMI’s approach is to seek “rhythm and rhymes of markets” rather than one-for-one chart overlays. “As ever, at GMI we are working with probabilistic frameworks and contextualisation… we use a framework of around 1,000 key charts which we then simplify and simplify.” The macro pillar of the thesis is liquidity. “The rate of change is only going to rise in the key metric of Total Global Liquidity… US, EU, China and Japan all need to roll debts,” Pal wrote, calling that confluence “an absurdly bullish backdrop, along with the reg changes, DAT’s and sovereign accumulation along with Wall Street acceptance.” In his timeline, the current crypto cycle “extends into Q1 2026 and possibly Q2 2026 due to slow business cycle forcing more liquidity for longer.” Or, as he put it more colloquially: “wen banana? We’ve been in it since Aug 2024 and the acceleration phase lies ahead.” Technically, the “waiting room” framing aligns with what long-horizon charts of XRP and Dogecoin have been telegraphing. Multi-year weekly structures on both assets show a repeating cadence of broad, descending consolidations that ultimately resolve into impulsive upside, followed by new, tighter coils beneath prior cycle highs. Related Reading: XRP Whales Unload Massive Bags: Distribution Or Trap? The current phase features exactly that kind of triangular compression: XRP’s post-spring surge has bled into a small symmetrical triangle under its 2025 peak, while Dogecoin’s 2021–2024 falling channel gave way to a higher base that is now narrowing into a wedge. Pal’s point is not that breakouts are guaranteed or imminent on a given candle, but that the setup is consistent with earlier “pre-rotation” conditions. The investor also invoked cycle analogs without over-promising precision. “And it looks similar to 2017…” he noted, before repeating that GMI is “not looking for perfect matches.” The probabilistic takeaway, he said, is that the market remains in an expansionary regime, with breadth likely to improve as non-BTC/ETH segments clear their bases. “The only question is… will your bags go up or do you have the wrong allocation? That is up to you my friends. Buy the ticket, take the ride.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.84. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The crypto market is paying close attention after one of the most famous early Bitcoin voices shared a bold view on XRP. Davinci Jeremie, who gained notoriety for advising people to buy Bitcoin at just $1 back in 2013, has now issued a strong forecast for XRP, noting that the token’s chart displays a healthy structure and a bullish pattern.  Davinci Jeremie Maps XRP Price Path To $4.93 With Fibonacci Levels In his detailed breakdown, Jeremie focused on XRP’s recent movements and the structure forming on its chart. He pointed to a clear W-shaped pattern as a bullish signal. According to him, the market action that pushed XRP higher in recent weeks appeared to be organic, with genuine investor activity providing support rather than artificial manipulation. Related Reading: Pundit Says Bitcoin Price Crash Is Not Over, Why A Decline Below $100,000 Is Coming Jeremie explained that he used the Fibonacci extension levels to calculate possible price targets for XRP. He said the 1.618 level comes in at 4,555 Chilean pesos, but he believes the token could go slightly higher. His projection puts the token at 4,761 pesos, which converts to about $4.93. If this outlook materializes, XRP would not only maintain its current momentum but also surpass its previous all-time high of $3.65, which it met in July of this year. According to the analyst, XRP’s earlier moves in late 2024 appeared forced, with extreme jumps that raised doubts, but this newest action looks more natural and could carry further implications. He emphasized that the chart math and price behavior support the path to further bullish growth, while the token’s structure itself demonstrates clear strength. Bitcoin Maximalist Turns Bullish On XRP’s Market Structure What makes this analysis stand out even more is who it is coming from. Davinci Jeremie has long been regarded as a strong supporter of Bitcoin, often described as a Bitcoin maximalist. His early call for people to buy BTC when the price was at only $1 has given him lasting credibility in the cryptocurrency space. For that reason, his positive comments on XRP are being taken very seriously by many in the market. Related Reading: Rumored Ripple NDA Suggests Trump, BlackRock, And JP Morgan Are Working With XRP Ledger Jeremie emphasized that XRP’s moves from January to June formed a clean W formation on the weekly chart. He explained how the token reached a high of $ 3.40 in January, dropped to around $2.11 in April, rebounded to $2.60 in May, declined to near $2 in June, and then rallied strongly to surpass its January high. That sequence, he said, completed the pattern and opened the door for more gains. His change of tone shows that a strong market structure can override token bias. Even for someone who has close ties to Bitcoin, the health of XRP’s current chart was enough to spark a bullish outlook. Jeremie’s analysis suggests that more investors may start looking at XRP differently, seeing it as an asset with room to grow beyond old expectations.  Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has raised the possibility of the XRP price rallying to $200. This followed his analysis using the regression model, which showed that the altcoin could record a 5,600% rally to this price target.  How The XRP Price Could Rally 5,600% To $200 In an X post, Egrag Crypto predicted that the XRP price could rally to $200 if it were to overshoot the linear regression line. He alluded to the monthly timeframe, which reflected the analysis of hits, misses, and overshoots using linear regression on a log scale. The analyst then noted that the analysis is grounded in a 2-standard deviation model.  Related Reading: Analyst Suggests Thinking Of XRP As Just ‘Payments’ Is Primitive, Here’s The Real Deal Egrag Crypto further highlighted the R-squared value in the regression model. He explained that this is a critical metric in indicating how well the regression line fits the data, with values closer to 1 representing a better fit. Essentially, 0.0 means no correlation, 0.5 indicates a moderate correlation, and 1 indicates a perfect correlation.  The crypto analyst then revealed that the current R-squared is at 0.84754, indicating a highly fitting model. He further remarked that this means around 84.75% of the variance in the dependent variable can be explained by the independent variable. In applying this theory to XRP price prediction, Egrag Crypto stated that the altcoin has reached the upper edge of the regression line three times.  Notably, the XRP price recorded a notable overshoot on one occasion, when it surged by 570%. Meanwhile, in the 2021 cycle, it missed the target by 45%. Egrag Crypto stated that the altcoin is currently hovering around the midpoint of the regression.  Based on his analysis, a hit of this regression line would put XRP at $27, while a miss of 45%, as seen in the 2021 cycle, would put the altcoin at $18. The overshoot of 570% is what could cause XRP to skyrocket to $200. Egrag Crypto noted that these targets will likely increase as the regression model is trending upward. What’s Next For The Altcoin Crypto analyst CasiTrades has provided insights into what to expect from the XRP price amid the latest decline. In an X post, she noted that the altcoin has printed a new low and remains within its larger consolidation pattern, even as it recently tested the key trendline around $2.91. The analyst also revealed that the area is the golden retrace, which is where Wave 2s love to correct before continuing higher.  Related Reading: Analyst Says It Doesn’t Matter What Analysis You Use, XRP Price Is Set To Explode As such, if this level holds, CasiTrades believes that the XRP price could be setting up a textbook Elliot Wave continuation for Wave 3. She stated that the next confirmation point is $3.12. The analyst explained that this is the resistance level that is capping a higher move. Therefore, a break above that level would mean that the higher Fibonacci extensions are aligning nicely.  At the time of writing, the XRP Price is trading at around $3, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

After the Bitcoin price retracement, XRP seems to have entered into another bearish trend that has sent it below $3 once again. However, despite the correction, XRP has continued to hold major levels, unlike Bitcoin, which has gone on to make new local lows. This suggests that XRP is performing differently from Bitcoin and could see a rally despite the Bitcoin price remaining low during this time. Why XRP Price Holding Above $2.9 Is A Good Thing So far, despite falling below $3, the XRP price has continued to hold above $2.9, which is a major macro level for the XRP price. As crypto analyst CasiTrades explains in an X post, the XRP price has continued to hold its larger macro consolidation pattern, even testing the key trend line at $2.91. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Set To Hit $4 If It Breaks This Resistance Line Amid the market downtrend, altcoins like XRP have also continued to show bullish divergences. This suggests that the decline may only be short-lived, and a rally could be in the future.  There is also the subject of weakening momentum underneath this level, but the crypto analyst explains that this could mean that the XRP price could see a relief bounce soon. As long as the XRP price continues to trade inside of this current consolidation level, there is still the possibility that bulls can reclaim control of the altcoin. Since it is at the 0.618 Fibonacci level, the crypto analyst points out that this is the area of the ‘golden retrace’, a level that has been historically known to set the stage for a bullish continuation. At this point, XRP could be looking to continue a textbook Elliot Wave continuation of Wave 3. Unlike Wave 2, Wave 3 is a bullish wave that tends to send digital asset prices to new local peaks, and sometimes, new all-time highs. Related Reading: XRP Historical Performance Points To 200% Rally To $9.63 For now, the major level that the XRP price needs to hold lies at $2.9. Casi explains that as long as this level holds and remains a support block for the altcoin, then it could signal the start of a new bullish trend that could push the altcoin to brand-new all-time highs. The target for the continuation of the Wave 3 lies above $5.3, clearing the current all-time high of $3.8. This would also mean an over 80% increase from the current price.

XRP has recovered from the recent market pullback and is attempting to confirm the $3.00 level as support. However, an analyst suggested that the cryptocurrency risks a new retest of the range lows before bullish momentum continues. Related Reading: Cardano Retests Key Support As SEC Delays ETF Decision – Is An October Rally Brewing? XRP’s Daily Close Key For Momentum XRP has reclaimed a crucial level as support while the crypto market stabilizes from this week’s market downturn. The altcoin has been trading sideways over the past week, hovering between $2.85-$3.10 range. The cryptocurrency retested the range lows, holding the lower boundary as support during the recent market volatility. Now, the price surged 7% from Monday’s lows to the $3.08 area before retracing to the $3.00 mark. On Wednesday, analyst Ali Martinez noted that XRP was rejected from local resistance, around the $3.10 area, for the third time, which could signal a new correction to the range lows similar to the previous attempts. If the altcoin fails to hold the current level as support and loses the mid-range area, its price could drop to $2.83, risking a fall below the local range and a deeper correction. On the contrary, if bullish momentum continues and the cryptocurrency breaks out of the crucial resistance, its price could rally to the August high levels, between $3.20-$3.40. Similarly, analyst Cryptoinsightuk noted that XRP had a positive daily close, adding that the “RSI crossed bullish and even throughout this pullback we’ve seen no change in structure.” Nonetheless, he suggested that the cryptocurrency needs to continue its momentum with a second day of follow-through price actions and trading volume. The market watcher asserted that a daily close above the $3.14 area will set up the stage for a rally to the $3.40 resistance in the coming weeks. Is A 2017-Like Rally Coming? After its July rally to its latest all-time high (ATH) of $3.65, the altcoin has been consolidating within a bullish pennant, with price compressing between the pattern’s resistance and support levels. Analyst GalaxyBTC also noted that XRP has been compressing between two parallel levels, repeating its 2017 playbook. Previously, the cryptocurrency hovered between the previous ATH level and the rally breakout level, which was turned into support. Following a consolidation period, the cryptocurrency broke out of this range and recorded a massive rally to its 2018 ATH. This time, XRP turned the $1.70 area into support last November and has been consolidating between this level and the previous ATH for the past eight months, which could suggest that the rally isn’t over yet. If history repeats, a massive breakout will follow once the altcoin breaks out of the previous ATH resistance and turns it into support. Related Reading: Chainlink Ready For Massive Breakout? A 15% Drop May Come First Moreover, the analyst highlighted a key level in XRP’s trading pair against Bitcoin (BTC), explaining that the 0.00003014 area has been a resistance in the XRP/BTC chart over the past six years. While the XRP/BTC pair continues to near this resistance, the market watcher considers that “the timing is perfect, as breaking out will put us well into price discovery on the USD pair.” As of this writing, XRP is trading at $3.02, a 3.3% increase in the weekly timeframe.

XRP has been holding steady in recent days, even as Bitcoin dropped to $110,500 and has struggled to reclaim $112,700 in the past 24 hours. Unlike Bitcoin, XRP has avoided printing a new low and instead bounced around $2.90 to $2.91.  According to crypto analyst Captain Redbeard, XRP’s price action is now breaking out of a massive multi-year triangle pattern, and it could be gearing up for another parabolic leg. XRP Breaks Out Of Multi-Year Triangle According to Captain Redbeard’s analysis, which was first posted on the social media platform X, XRP has completed a breakout from a triangle formation. This breakout is very notable, considering it’s a move above a multi-year consolidation structure that has been developing since the last bull cycle.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says XRP Bull Run Hasn’t Begun, Sets Course For $37 As noted by Redbeard, “history doesn’t repeat, but it sure does rhyme.” Speaking of history, this exact setup appeared during 2017 before XRP surged to its previous all-time high of $3.4 in 2018. The breakout from such a long-term compression is particularly significant because it suggests that years of sideways movement have now built up enough energy for a strong directional move. The 2-week candlestick price chart he shared shows XRP’s breakout of the triangle in early 2025. However, XRP’s price action in the past few months has seen the crypto consolidating with a parallel channel just above the 1.0 Fib extension level, just like it did in the middle of 2017 after a similar breakout.  However, the consolidation pattern is now coming to a close, and if history repeats itself, XRP could be on track for a similar breakout. In terms of a price target, the analyst’s chart projected a run to as high as $27. Golden Retrace Support At $2.90 Captain Redbeard’s analysis captures the macro breakout, and the price target could take years to manifest. However, a shorter analysis of the 4-hour candlestick timeframe shows that XRP must hold firm above $2.90.  Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Is Going To At Least $5 This Year, Here’s When To Buy This context is based on an analysis by crypto analyst CasiTrades. Unlike Bitcoin, which recently dropped to $110,000 and is struggling to reclaim a 0.236 fib retrace at $112,700, XRP has shown greater resilience. The token has held firm around $2.90 to $2.91, which corresponds to the golden retracement level at 0.618 Fibonacci. In Elliott Wave theory, this is the area where a corrective Wave 2 typically finds support before a much stronger upward Wave 3 begins. CasiTrades identified $3.12 as the immediate confirmation point to watch. A clean break above this level would validate the bullish structure and set XRP on course for higher Fibonacci extensions. The projections highlight $4.48 as the next significant resistance zone and $5.40 as the ultimate Wave 3 price target. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.02, up by 3.4% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview.com

The XRP price has been one of the most closely watched cryptocurrencies in the market, and technical analysts are now pointing to a major breakout setup that could send its value to new levels. According to TradingView crypto market analyst HolderStat, XRP is currently consolidating, with a critical resistance line standing between the cryptocurrency and a potential surge toward $4.  Daily Chart Signals Consolidation Before Breakout On the daily timeframe, HolderStat highlights in his chart analysis on TradingView how XRP has recently completed a breakout from a large triangle formation that developed over several months. This move carried the asset sharply higher, but after reaching its peak, the price entered into a consolidation zone. Related Reading: Pundit Warns XRP And Crypto Investors Of Possible Billions Of Dollars In Losses If They Don’t Do This The analyst’s chart now shows that XRP is trading sideways near $3.20-$3.48, indicating that buyers may be soaking up sell pressure while preparing for the next move. The analysis also identifies $3.48 as the immediate resistance line that traders are closely watching.  HolderStat predicts that a decisive breakout above this resistance line could pave the way toward higher targets at $3.8 and possibly $4, levels not seen since XRP’s previous ATH rally in the 2018 bull market. On the downside, $3.20 remains the key support level. If XRP fails to hold this line, it could face renewed selling pressure, potentially triggering steeper price corrections.  Overall, HolderStat’s chart structure suggests that momentum is building for XRP, with sideways price action viewed as a healthy pause before the next leg. At the time of writing, CoinMarketCap data shows the cryptocurrency trading at $3.00, up 2.79% over the past 24 hours and 3.33% in the last seven days.  6H Chart Shows Accumulation With Higher Levels In a follow-up analysis, HolderStat shared a 6-hour chart, which shows a similar but more detailed accumulation pattern for XRP. The shorter timeframe reveals that the token has been printing higher lows while consolidating within a channel. This type of market behavior often indicates that bulls may be taking control, as bearish pressure subsides.  Related Reading: Analyst Says It Doesn’t Matter What Analysis You Use, XRP Price Is Set To Explode The analysis also underscores the importance of the $2.70 support level. As long as the XRP price holds this critical zone, HolderStat notes that the bullish structure remains intact, and the price has a strong chance of breaking higher. Building on this momentum, he predicts that a successful move beyond $3.20 – $3.40 on the 6-hour chart would confirm the bullish continuation, reinforcing the outlook presented in the previous daily analysis.  The analyst’s findings are further supported by other market watchers. SwallowAcademy, another crypto expert on TradingView, commented that the market appears to be coiling up, with consolidation acting as a springboard for the next potential rally. If momentum picks up, the analyst agrees that XRP could quickly advance toward $3.8 and $4 in the short term. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
