THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has provided a detailed breakdown of how the XRP price could reach between $9.5 and $37.5. He alluded to previous cycles as the rationale behind why the altcoin could reach such ambitious targets in this market cycle.  Rationale Behind XRP Price Rally To $9.5 And $37.5 In an X post, Egrag Crypto stated that historical cycles show that the XRP price always rises above the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and then retests it. He added that the final move from that retest point to the cycle’s top creates the blowoff peak. In Cycle 1, XRP recorded around a 2,000% gain while the altcoin surged 455% from the retest point in Cycle 2.  Related Reading: Analyst Puts XRP Cycle High At $20-$30, Here’s Why Egrag Crypto then applied these percentages to the current cycle to show why the XRP price could reach $9.5 and $37.5. He noted that after the initial surge and retest in April 2025, the EMA will likely rise with the price, setting the stage for the next big move. Based on these historical blowoff phases, the analyst said that XRP could record another 2,000% increase and reach $37.5. On the other hand, the XRP price could mirror the second cycle and record a more conservative 455% rise, which puts the altcoin at $9.5. Egrag Crypto’s accompanying chart showed that XRP could reach either of these targets by September 1 later this year. Meanwhile, the analyst advised market participants to choose their targets wisely. He also told them to set their exit plans, avoid getting caught up in hype, stick to their strategy, and get prepared.  Breakout In Progress For XRP In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that the $2.25 level is loading for the XRP price following its reclaim of the $2.07 level. Based on this price action, she remarked that a breakout was in progress. This $2.25 also represents the macro .382, a key level which the analyst has been alluding to for months.  Related Reading: XRP Price Completes Bearish Retest As Macro Signals Point To $2.65 CasiTrades declared that momentum is building for the XRP price and that Ripple’s decision to drop its cross-appeal against the SEC is further fueling this momentum. From the current level, she stated that she is watching two key scenarios in the short term. First, the altcoin could move into $2.30, then pull back to test $2.25 as support. The analyst remarked that this would be “ideal and healthy.” For the second scenario, CasiTrades predicts that the XRP price could push harder through to $2.45, which is closer to the $2.69 resistance. Then, the altcoin would witness a slight pullback before touching the $2.69 level with resistance. For this scenario, she believes that a retest of $2.25 later would be expected.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.19, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Hours after Ripple Labs said it would abandon its long-running appeal in its securities case with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, watched market technician CasiTrades (@CasiTrades) on X argued that XRP’s price structure has already completed its corrective phase and is “now wave 3 in motion.” The pseudonymous trader described how Friday’s slide to $2.07 had “tagged” three separate Fibonacci confluence markers—the 0.618 retracement of the March-to-May rally, a 1:1 equality projection for wave C of the prior correction, and a 0.618 extension of sub-wave 5. “The market snapped upward from that exact price,” she observed, before adding: “$2.07 tagged. $2.25 loading. XRP breakout in progress!” XRP Enters Wave 3 By midday in Europe on Monday XRP was changing hands at $2.19, roughly 4% above Friday’s close and 8.5% higher than a week ago. That recovery has carried the token to the edge of the next “major test” cited by CasiTrades: the long-monitored $2.25 zone, which she notes coincides with the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement measured from XRP’s 2021 swing high. In classical Elliott Wave analysis, a decisive breach and subsequent retest of that level would validate the start of a powerful third wave, the phase in which momentum typically accelerates and sentiment flips decisively bullish. Related Reading: XRP Down 3% After SEC Settlement Stalls, But Social Media Turns Bullish CasiTrades outlined two near-term paths: either a brief thrust to $2.30 followed by a healthy back-test of $2.25, or a more explosive extension toward $2.45–2.69 before any significant pull-back. “From here, I’m watching two key scenarios short-term: 1) A move into $2.30, then a pullback to backtest $2.25 as support. This would be ideal and healthy. 2) Or, price pushes harder through to ~$2.45, closer toward $2.69 resistance. Has a small pullback, before touching $2.69 with resistance. In this plan, a backtest of $2.25 later would be expected,” Casi writes via X. In either scenario, she argues, the structural message is the same: “Flipping that level opens the door for the next full breakout… once these local resistances are out of the way → fireworks.” The technical argument lands at a moment when a key fundamental overhang appears to be fading. On June 27 Ripple chief executive Brad Garlinghouse announced that the company will withdraw the cross-appeal it filed last year contesting parts of Judge Analisa Torres’s split decision on XRP sales. “We’re closing this chapter once and for all,” Garlinghouse wrote on X, adding that the SEC “was also expected to drop its appeal.” The move came one day after Torres rejected a joint request from both parties to shrink Ripple’s civil penalty to $50 million and dissolve her permanent injunction. Related Reading: XRP Bulls On Alert—’This Trendline Is Everything,’ Says Analyst That backdrop helps explain why the Fibonacci “golden-ratio” bounce at $2.07 drew such an emphatic response. But for now, the market’s focal point is whether XRP can turn the $2.25 shelf from resistance into support. If it does, the next cluster of historical supply sits between $2.60 and $2.70—the area that capped rallies in December 2021 and March 2022. A break beyond that zone would leave little chart resistance before psychological milestones at $3.00 and the all-time closing high near $3.40 set in January 2018. Even so, technicians caution that Elliott Wave targets remain probabilistic, not predictive certainties, and that any new macro-regulatory twist could reset the calculus. Friday’s ruling also left Ripple’s injunction intact, meaning the company must still navigate a compliance regime that did not exist when the lawsuit began in 2020. Whether those realities temper the exuberance around wave 3 remains to be seen. In CasiTrades’ words, however, timing is everything: “This is exactly why we rely on TA. The charts help us spot setups before the news hits. News hits harder after price has positioned.” For a market that has waited more than four years to see its signature legal saga reach closure, traders appear ready to test that maxim on the road to $2.25—and beyond. At press time, XRP traded at $2.19. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price experienced a significant decline on Thursday following new developments in the ongoing legal dispute between Ripple Labs and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Judge Analisa Torres’ decision to deny the joint motion from Ripple and the SEC for an indicative ruling halted the XRP price recovery as it aimed to breach the nearest resistance level at $2.23. Key Issues Unresolved For Ripple Despite the SEC dropping its appeal, which indicated that the primary legal conflict between the two parties may be reaching a conclusion, Judge Torres’ ruling highlighted that several procedural matters still require resolution, including necessary court approvals.  In her judgment, she made it clear that private agreements cannot supersede public court decisions, stating, “The parties do not have the authority to agree not to be bound by a court’s final judgment… They have not come close to doing so here.” Related Reading: XRP Gears Up For Major Move — Chart Signals Are Clear In response to the ruling, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to convey that the situation is now back in Ripple’s hands.  The executive pointed out that the court has given them two options: either to dismiss their appeal regarding the historic institutional sales or to continue with the appeal.  Regardless of the path chosen, Alderoty emphasized that XRP’s legal status as a non-security remains intact, reassuring stakeholders that it is business as usual. Expert Reactions To Torres’ Decision Legal expert Fred Rispoli also weighed in on the implications of the injunction, stating that it would not impact XRP in secondary markets or affect potential exchange-traded fund (ETF) filings awaiting approval by the SEC.  He noted that the injunction is merely a court document and emphasized the low likelihood of Judge Torres calling Ripple and the SEC back into court unless the SEC believes Ripple is violating the terms of the injunction.  Rispoli further questioned whether the SEC has the authority to grant Ripple the necessary exemptions to alleviate any restrictions imposed by the injunction, suggesting that such actions fall within the SEC’s executive powers. Ripple has asserted that it has adjusted its operations to align with the court’s findings, particularly regarding its past sales to institutional investors.  Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Top In? Bitcoin MVRV-Score Has The Answer Alderoty’s use of the term “historic institutional sales” in his recent statement indicates a shift in how both parties might approach future transactions, signaling a potential settlement that would allow XRP sales to institutions in a manner acceptable to the SEC. XRP Price Could Reach $5 Despite this temporary setback, market analysts remain optimistic about XRP’s future. Crypto analyst CryptoBullet recently noted that XRP’s two-week price chart resembles patterns seen in 2017, including a significant accumulation phase and a potential breakout.  With this historical context in mind, the expert predicts a final surge in the XRP price, forecasting new all-time high targets between $4.50 and $5.40 for the cryptocurrency. As of press time, the XRP price has retreated to the $2.08 mark, which is a key support level for bulls anticipating further recovery of the token. In the last 24 hours, XRP has dropped 4.4%, and 10% in the last month. According to CoinGecko data, the XRP price remains 38% below its record high of $3.40.

The possibilities of a Ripple Initial Public Offering (IPO) have become higher as time goes on and the company moves toward a complete resolution of its SEC lawsuit. With expectations of the IPO rising, possible valuations have started to fly around as the company is one of the largest cryptocurrency companies. Most notably, pro-XRP lawyer and community member John Deaton has proposed that the Ripple IPO could lead to the company being valued at over $100 billion. Deaton Puts Ripple At $100 Billion The comment and valuation from lawyer John Deaton come after Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, successfully completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO). So far, the crypto firm has found a lot of success in the market, surging from an initial $5 billion valuation to over $63 billion in valuation post-IPO. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Surge To $130,000 Next? What The Wave Count Says Deaton responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting this feat, pointing out how Ripple could be even more successful in this regard. He explains that despite Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse saying that the company was in no rush to go public, the IPO should be timed correctly to have the right impact. Pointing to the current market environment, he points out that if Circle can grow to a $63 billion valuation, then it means that Ripple can soar even higher. Given XRP’s standing in the market as the 4th-largest cryptocurrency, ahead of Circle’s USDC, which sits at 7th place, Deaton believes that Ripple’s valuation post-IPO can rise to $100 billion. “If Circle can hit a 62B-75B market cap then Ripple, with nearly 40B XRP, currently valued at $2 (ie $80B), could certainly hit a $100B market cap in this environment,” Deaton wrote. As Bitcoinist reported, Ripple had issued a $700 million tender offer with shares priced at $175. This now puts the equity valuation of the company at $25 billion with 141 million outstanding shares as investors look favorably at the crypto firm. How High Could The XRP Price Go? Market experts have speculated that if the Ripple IPO does go through and the valuation soars, the XRP price will soar in tandem. Crypto investor Dennis Liu shared a video that suggested a successful IPO would be positive for the XRP price. He points out that a symbiotic relationship of the XRP coin related to the Ripple stock would be the dream of investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Could Rally To $110,000 ATH As These Macroeconomic Factors Align Other market experts have debated that the XRP price would go double-digits to rise above $10 if this happens.

After months of muted price action, XRP appears to be quietly building pressure within a textbook falling wedge formation. With over seven months of consolidation and recent price activity pressing up against the wedge’s resistance, subtle bullish signs are beginning to emerge. As momentum coils tighter, this silent accumulation phase could be setting the stage for a significant breakout. XRP Chart Indicators Echo Uncertainty In a recent X post, GemXBT highlighted that XRP is currently exhibiting a sideways market structure. The price has been hovering around the $2.19 mark, showing signs of consolidation rather than a clear trend. This range-bound movement suggests that neither bulls nor bears are in control at the moment. Related Reading: Expert Charts 1,400% Course To $7.5 For XRP Price As RSI Falls To All-Time Low GemXBT further pointed out that the short-term moving averages — specifically the 5MA, 10MA, and 20MA- are beginning to converge. This alignment typically signals market indecision, and when combined with a neutral RSI reading near 50, it reinforces the lack of directional bias. Such conditions often precede a significant price move, though the direction remains uncertain. Adding to the neutral outlook, GemXBT noted that the MACD is flat, reflecting a lack of momentum in either direction. Volume is also relatively low, suggesting reduced trader participation and a possible wait-and-see approach by the market. This quiet environment could persist until a breakout or breakdown confirms the next move for XRP. A Bullish Break May Be Brewing According to XRPunkie in a post on X, XRP has been stuck in a falling wedge structure on the weekly chart for the past seven months. This prolonged consolidation phase reflects a period of tight price movement, with XRP gradually coiling within narrowing boundaries. Such a pattern often signals a potential breakout in the making, especially when observed over an extended timeframe. Related Reading: Ripple Plans To Take 14% Of SWIFT Volume, USDC Lands On XRPL – What Does This Mean For XRP Price? XRPunkie further highlighted that the past seven weeks of price action have occurred just beneath the wedge’s resistance line. This consistent pressure near resistance indicates growing strength on the buyers’ side. Additionally, XRP has formed a hidden bullish divergence, a signal that often hints at a continuation of the prevailing trend, in this case, pointing toward a possible upward move. The analyst emphasized that repeated testing of a resistance zone tends to weaken it over time. With XRP continuously knocking on the upper boundary of the wedge, XRPunkie believes a breakout may be imminent. He concluded with a clear stance: “Overall Bullish Soon,” suggesting that market conditions could soon favor the bulls if current momentum holds. At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $2.17 with a $128.61 billion market capitalization and $2.59 billion in 24-hour trading volume, reflecting ongoing consolidation in the market.

XRP is showing all the signs of a move brewing, and the chart doesn’t lie. After a period of consolidation, price action is tightening, and technical indicators are flashing signals of an impending move. Whether it’s a surge to the upside or a sharp reversal, the setup is in place, and momentum is building. XRP looks loaded and ready to make its next move. Volume Remains Subdued — Calm Before The Storm? XRP price remains trapped inside a long-standing triangle, a pattern known for building pressure before sharp directional moves. The chart shows that sellers continue to push lower highs, compressing price action toward a support level. Related Reading: XRP Price Trades Sideways — Bulls Preparing for Next Push? Parshwa Turakhiya pointed out on X that the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) cluster between $2.17 and $2.23 is the key breakout zone capping any upward momentum. A clean break above this range could trigger a bullish reversal. On the other hand, $2.09 is the last line of defense for the bulls. If this level fails, the structure breaks down, and XRP could swiftly drop to $1.85. Despite the building tension, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains neutral, which Parshwa Turakhiya describes as “the calm before the volatility storm.” The chart structure suggests that a move is imminent. With early July just ahead, Parshwa Turakhiya warns that a breakout or breakdown is coming, and it won’t be subtle. XRP is on the edge of eruption. Fabio Zuccara stated that Dr. Profit, known for his sharp and historically accurate calls on XRP at $0.15, $0.38, and $0.50, has now projected a new mid-term target of $4.00. In a weekly chart shared via social media, XRP is forming a bullish structure, with a green arrow projecting a continuation move to the upside. Zuccara outlined a crucial level for maintaining the bullish trajectory. This rebound adds strength to the outlook, suggesting that momentum is building in favor of the bulls. In the same vein, SquirtleCharts revealed that XRP’s 4-hour chart has mapped out a precise path toward $3.00 target, with several resistance levels standing in the way, and each level varies in difficulty. The first is $2.22, the easy one, a weak resistance point that XRP could clear without much effort. Next is $2.33, which SquirtleCharts labels as “a lot harder,” signaling a barrier that may require volume and conviction to break. The $2.48 level is “not too bad,” a moderate resistance area that might slow the rally but not be a roadblock. Finally, the $2.65 is the “pretty hard,” a zone where bulls may face challenges. Perfect Technical Structure Sets Stage For Explosive Breakout Massive move incoming for XRP. After a clean bounce off the $2.00 support level, the setup is aligning perfectly on the daily chart. Related Reading: XRP Pullback Nearly Complete—Next Stop: $8 To $12, Says Analyst Sara emphasizes that the chart structure looks flawless, with price action respecting critical zones and now coiling for an explosive breakout, with momentum building and bulls defending the support zone.

XRP spent the past forty-eight hours coiling into a textbook inflection zone, and the 15-minute chart published by independent analyst Casi makes it hard to miss where the battle lines now stand. Price is hovering at $2.18, clinging to a steeply rising trendline that has underpinned every impulsive thrust since the local swing low near the 0.618 retracement at $1.9824 on 23 June. That trendline intersects a horizontal shelf of former resistance-turned-support at the 1.618 extension measured from the same base move, labelled on the chart at $2.186. The confluence forms the geometric “apex of consolidation” Casi has been highlighting on X. XRP Price At Breaking Point “This trendline is everything right now,” Casi wrote. “We just got a clean reaction off it. This correction already reached the .382 retracement at $2.145, which also happens to be the apex of consolidation… that’s the most critical level on the chart, short-term.” The most recent corrective pullback already tagged the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement of the advance, exactly at $2.145, before bulls forced a reaction. As long as candles continue to close above that retracement—effectively the floor of the micro-range—Casi argues that the underlying market structure remains constructive. A decisive break beneath $2.145, by contrast, would represent both a loss of the diagonal trendline and a surrender of the consolidation base, signalling short-term weakness and, in his words, “opening the door to a deeper flush.” Related Reading: XRP Pullback Nearly Complete—Next Stop: $8 To $12, Says Analyst Overhead, XRP must still reckon with layered resistance. The first ceiling sits at $2.20, but the level called out as “the next big test” is the thicker pink band at $2.25. That mark capped price repeatedly during yesterday’s U.S. session and coincides with a prior 1.272 extension of the late-May corrective leg. “If we can flip that level, we’ll likely open the path toward the $2.69 retrace test,” Casi noted, “and from there, the breakout potential increases dramatically!” If price can reclaim $2.25 on expanding volume and then retest it as support, the chart leaves an unobstructed lane toward the 2.618 extension at $2.296—effectively $2.30—and, by projection, the $2.69 Fibonacci target that would complete the measured-move roadmap Casi is tracking. Related Reading: XRP To $30 Beyond 2026? Analyst Reveals Key BTC Ratio To Watch Momentum, however, is not yet offering a clean green light. The lower pane shows a 14-period RSI capped by its own descending trendline that has compressed every rally since 24 June. With the oscillator printing 46.24 (signal) versus 43.59 (base line) at the time of the screenshot, the gauge is climbing but still mid-range. A marginal higher high in price paired with a lower high in RSI would etch a textbook bearish divergence—an outcome Casi told one follower he is “expecting to set up” if XRP pierces $2.25 before consolidating anew. “I think this next high will form a bearish div,” he added. “The RSI is telling me it’s about to set that up.” In short, the token is balanced on a knife-edge: the bull case hinges on the integrity of the $2.145–$2.186 support complex and a breakout through $2.25, while the bear case rests on trendline failure and an RSI divergence confirming upside exhaustion. With liquidity thinning into the weekend, the resolution of this narrow consolidation could shape the next wave—whether that proves to be the ignition of a larger third impulse or the start of a deeper corrective detour. As Casi put it, “This is the kind of price action you want to see if XRP is serious about continuing this new trend to the upside.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.19.

The cryptocurrency market’s sharp retracement may be approaching its denouement, according to prominent trader and YouTuber CryptoInsightUK, who told his followers on 23 June that XRP is “really flipping close” to completing the final leg of a corrective structure that began in early April. Final Trap Or Final Chance For XRP? In his latest video analysis, the analyst sketched a scenario in which Bitcoin grinds lower toward the $92,000–$95,000 liquidity pocket “to sweep the last standing bids,” dragging major altcoins with it. “We’ve had the extra bit of flush down that we were talking about and looking for,” he said, noting that Bitcoin already wicked to $98,200 but has yet to produce the higher-low/higher-high sequence or the bullish RSI divergence that stamped the April capitulation bottom. “I think we’re close to a bottom. I don’t quite think we’re there.” Related Reading: XRP To $30 Beyond 2026? Analyst Reveals Key BTC Ratio To Watch XRP, he argues, is tracing the same pattern at a different scale. The 4-hour chart shows a conspicuous liquidity shelf at $1.89 and a deeper block stretching to $1.73. “In a world where Bitcoin does get the flush to ninety,” he observed, “could we come and take that? Yes. … Maybe $1.85, potentially on a wick.” Although he concedes a tail-risk dip toward $1.60–$1.55, that move is “not my base case.” What makes the area compelling, in CryptoInsightUK’s view, is the clustering of spot demand on each successive stab lower. He highlighted the “big red bar” of sell-side volume that marked last week’s sweep and the immediate spike in spot bids, calling it evidence of “real accumulation rather than derivative games.” Funding rates across major venues have turned modestly positive, confirming that “people are going long,” a dynamic that could yet trigger one more liquidity vacuum as over-leveraged latecomers are forced out. Related Reading: XRP Price At Risk Of 20% Crash To $1.55 If This Level Fails To Hold Springboard For $11 XRP? Technically, the trader is watching for a textbook bullish divergence: price carves a marginally lower low while the 4-hour RSI prints a higher one, mirroring the set-up that preceded April’s 140% rally. The fixed-range volume profile on Bitcoin—where the point of control sits near $97,000—offers confluence, suggesting the broader market is attempting to base on a major support shelf before rotation into altcoins. If that pattern holds, CryptoInsightUK believes XRP is positioned for a “drastic” expansionary phase that would lift the token first to the oft-cited $8 target and then, in an over-extension, to “realistically $11 to $12.” From an idealised $1.85 entry the projection implies an upside of roughly 475%. “I put my neck on the line,” he said. “Everyone’s thinking eight. I think we over-extend that a little bit.” The analyst’s conviction rests in part on his read of Bitcoin dominance, now hovering in what he calls the “reversal box.” A final push to the upper edge could spark the long-awaited altseason, he argued, with XRP—as a large-cap, high-beta play—capturing disproportionate flows once Bitcoin volatility subsides. At press time, XRP traded at $2.1781. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

A crypto analyst has reaffirmed a bullish outlook for XRP, suggesting that the cryptocurrency’s price action is unfolding exactly as anticipated. The analyst points out that XRP is now approaching the critical support level at $1.90, which could signal a potential bullish reversal if the price manages to hold above it.  XRP Eyes $1.90 As Key Reversal Zone Crypto market expert CasiTrades believes that the XRP price behavior is moving exactly as predicted following its recent price drop below $2. According to the chart and analysis published on X (formerly Twitter), XRP’s retracement toward the $1.90 region is not a sign of weakness but a textbook setup for a potential reversal.  Related Reading: Daily Timeframe Says XRP Price Is On The Verge Of Breakout The $1.90 level represents a major Fibonacci Retracement zone, specifically the 0.5 retracement from the macro correction, which the analyst has been closely watching for a possible price reaction. According to CasiTrades, this zone is more than just a random support level—it aligns with a pattern that the analyst described in earlier updates. In these previous reports, CasiTrades was watching out for distinct price movements during XRP’s decline, including a bounce off a key Fibonacci level, a short-term fakeout upward to trap late buyers, and a final drop back into the support zone, where Bullish Divergence can develop. This distinct price pattern now appears to be playing out exactly as expected on the XRP price chart. If XRP holds above the $1.90 level while forming a Bullish Divergence on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), it could confirm a textbook bottom setup and potentially signal the start of a new impulsive rally.  XRP And Bitcoin Display Synchronized Patterns CasiTrades’ price chart shows XRP forming a Descending Triangle, with its latest move dipping just into a high-demand zone marked by previous price reactions. In line with the Elliott Wave Theory, this pattern suggests the upcoming completion of Wave 2 with a massive breakout in Wave 3 potentially taking shape if the $1.90 support level holds. Additional support from key Fibonacci levels, such as the 0.618 and 2.136 extensions at $2.0 and $2.1, respectively, reinforces strength in XRP’s potential for a rebound.  Related Reading: XRP Price Enters Perfect Setup After Buy Retest – Next Stop $3.7 Interestingly, the analyst points to the Bitcoin price action mirroring this exact behavior—bouncing from just under its own 0.236 retracement near $97,000, and potentially setting up for a final dip into support. This synchronized structure across both XRP and BTC adds heavy confluence.  CasiTrades notes that this current downturn is not a breakdown, but rather a final calculated shakeout before a broader rally. If both Bitcoin and XRP reach as expected while positioned at $0.19 and $97,000 respectively, the analyst believes it could trigger a new bullish leg in the crypto cycle.

XRP has once again landed at an important support level that places it in view of a rebound upwards or at risk of a further 20% crash. According to technical analyst CasiTrades, the recent drop was anticipated for weeks, and the precision with which XRP touched the $2.01 zone has added weight to its importance. The analyst noted that the drop out of the symmetrical triangle consolidation was clean and technically sound, and the $2.01 level has so far acted as the level for an upward bounce. Technical Setup Says Danger Zone Below $2.00 Still Active XRP price action in the past few days has been marked by a downtrend. XRP lost the $2.13 price level over the weekend before eventually cascading to a crash below $2 in the past 24 hours. Particularly, XRP crashed to bottom out at $1.92 before staging a rebound back above $2, at least at the time of writing. Related Reading: XRP To End 7-Month Consolidation After 700% Surge – Is A Major Move Coming? As it stands, XRP is now back to trading at $2.01, a price level that holds utmost importance for its price action in the coming days. According to a technical analysis posted on the social media platform X by crypto analyst CasiTrades, $2.01 is important for XRP, as it coincides with a major 0.618 Fib support level. Supporting this view is a visible bullish divergence forming on both the 15-minute and 1-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI), as depicted on the price chart below. However, the analyst was quick to warn that confirmation is still lacking on the higher 4-hour and daily timeframes. Without these confirmations, the bounce could still be nonexistent, and XRP could crash strongly below $2. XRP is currently at risk unless buyers manage to push its price into higher confirmation zones, specifically into the $3.00 range. According to CasiTrades, if any bounce at $2.01 fails to carry through, XRP could be headed for its next supports at $1.90 and then $1.55. The latter represents a rough 23% drop from current levels, a scenario that would invalidate the bullish RSI divergence on the smaller timeframes. Geopolitical Tensions Causing XRP Price Volatility The timing of XRP’s sharp drop over the weekend coincided with reports of geopolitical unrest, particularly the reported bombing of Iran by the US. This event caused widespread volatility in the crypto market, which was opened over the weekend.  Related Reading: Why The XRP Price Risks A Crash To $0.9 As Bearish Pressures Mount Although the decline seems to be pausing in recent trading hours, it does not yet qualify as a bounce. XRP price is currently fragile, and without a reaction from buyers or confirmation across higher timeframes, the structure is bearish. Selling pressure from new geopolitical tensions or algorithmic moves could potentially lead to deeper declines during the new week, especially if $2.00 fails to hold. In that case, XRP could be on track to retest the $1.90 support and even collapse toward the $1.55 before the end of the week. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.01, down by 2.6% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview.com

The XRP price could be preparing for a historical rally, as a prominent crypto analyst has boldly predicted that the cryptocurrency could reach a fresh cycle top between $20 and $30. The forecast, which presents a massive upside for the altcoin, is based on the Elliott Wave Theory—a key technical analysis tool.  XRP Wave Map Signals Cycle Top Ahead Crypto analyst, XForceGlobal on X (formerly Twitter) has presented a bold new forecast for XRP, projecting a cycle high between $20 and $30. The analyst shared a chart that dissects XRP’s price action over the last several months, suggesting that the cryptocurrency is currently in the final stages of a corrective wave before beginning a powerful multi-leg impulsive rally. If this wave count plays out as the market expert says, XRP could be on the verge of its most aggressive breakout to date. Related Reading: XRP Price Targets $3.61 In Short Term As ‘Cup’ Turns Hot The analysis focuses on XRP’s medium-term correction, which has taken the form of a complex WXY structure. According to the chart, XRP is nearing the completion of Wave 2, a corrective phase that began after the last upward impulse.  XForceGlobal has pinpointed a key Fibonacci confluence zone between $1.60 and $1.90, where XRP’s pullback is expected to find support. The chart clearly marks this area as a potential springboard for the next bullish phase, as long as the price does not fall below the $1.618 level, which serves as the invalidation point for the current setup. Despite XRP’s historical track record of sluggish performance and ongoing skepticism within the crypto community about the bullish forecast, XForceGlobal maintains confidence that the cryptocurrency will reach the ambitious $20-$30 cycle top—a move he believes could unfold well into 2026.  Intermediate Targets First, Cycle High Later According to XForceGlobal’s chart, once XRP completes its current corrective move, the analyst predicts that the first leg of this upcoming rally may take the cryptocurrency past the $5 mark in Wave 3, followed by a deeper Wave 4 pullback and a final thrust into Wave 5 toward $6 or more.  Related Reading: XRP 5-Wave Count Shows When The Price Will Hit All-Time Highs Above $5 While these targets represent an intermediate-term bullish setup, on a macro scale, the long-term wave map implies that the whole structure could later culminate in a parabolic cycle top rally that sends XRP between $20 and possibly even $30. This optimistic outlook gains further credibility, as the analyst notes that XRP’s internal wave count for the flat scenario has taken longer to resolve than initially expected. Beyond technicals, XForceGlobal highlights that market psychology plays a central role in its bullish forecast. He notes that the XRP community has weathered regulatory battles, market crashes, and years of stagnation, most notably the US SEC lawsuit. This prolonged adversity has turned XRP holders into “battle-tested veterans” who are largely immune to fear-driven selling. This resilience, according to the analyst, could be the key to the next bullish phase of XRP’s price action. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

The market technician known on X as Dr Cat (@DoctorCatX) has published a post that condenses years of his XRP/BTC work into one number—2,041 satoshis—and a set of time-stamped price targets that reach as high as $30 per XRP once Bitcoin hits $270,000. In the post, the analyst begins with a sharp rebuke of critics who, in his words, “pretend to be idiots just to troll” before pivoting to a rigorously structured roadmap. He breaks price action into five nested horizons—intraday, daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly—and assigns each its own decision-making role. XRP Moon Scenario: $30 Target Needs One Final Signal The crux of the argument is that monthly price candles must be read in isolation from what he calls the “noise” of the lower frames if traders want to understand where serious accumulation or distribution is taking place. “Bullish target: ~$4–4.5 (3.5 K sats on 120–130 K BTC). Very bullish target: ~$18–30 (7 K–12 K sats / 270 K BTC).” Those levels are not merely numeric goals; they are the by-product of a ratio he views as structural. A monthly close below 2,041 satoshis would, paradoxically, increase his confidence in the “very bullish” path—but only “very long term (2026+),” because such a breakdown would probably trigger what he calls a flush toward 1,800, 1,500 or even 700 sats first. Conversely, a defense of that shelf preserves a less spectacular—but cleaner—advance toward 3,500 sats (~$4–4.50 at current six-figure Bitcoin prices) and keeps alive the 7,000-to-12,000-satoshi objective for the extended cycle top. Related Reading: XRP Daily New Addresses Plunge 80% In 2025 — Bearish On-Chain Metrics Raise Alarm The thread’s most practical value may lie in its explanation of why no immediate weekly up-trend should be expected even in the “most bullish” scenario. Dr Cat points to classic Ichimoku conditions—Chikou Span under price, a downward-angled Kijun-sen and a bearish Tenkan/Kijun cross—arguing that history shows it can take “~26 weeks at least” for those signals to unwind. Any rally toward 2,700 sats in the next couple of months would therefore be viewed as a Kijun retest ripe for rejection rather than the start of a sustained breakout. The analyst also clarifies a point that has caused confusion among casual readers: his $270,000 Bitcoin estimate is a macro-cycle cap, not a near-term forecast. He explicitly states that he expects the current market cycle to “extend to 2026 and beyond,” which is why the loftiest XRP numbers sit at the far right of his timeline. Everything, he insists, flows from the ratio between the two assets, not from dollar-denominated targets considered in isolation. Related Reading: ‘Out of Time’: XRP Consolidation Hits Final Moment, Analyst Alerts Context comes in the form of a brief exchange with a skeptic posting under the handle “Woo tard of Wall St”, who mocked the notion of a $7 XRP at 270,000 BTC. Dr Cat’s reply—delivered without diluting his language—underscores how strongly he views the time-horizon mismatch between traders who obsess over daily candles and those who plot quarterly swings. Technicians may quibble with the assumption that one static ratio can govern a three-year outlook, but the post offers a coherent, internally consistent playbook: watch the monthly close against 2,041 sats. Hold it, and the roadmap favors an eventual attack on 3,500 sats and, later, 7,000-plus. Lose it, and the pair probably capitulates before any “monster move” can emerge in the second half of the decade. Either outcome, Dr Cat argues, will resolve whether the XRP narrative of under-performance finally gives way to what would be its most spectacular out-performance against Bitcoin since 2017. For market participants seeking a single data point to anchor their risk management, 2,041 satoshis now functions as that fulcrum. Until the monthly candle prints, every tick above or below the line will feed the debate over whether XRP is coiling for a generational breakout—or simply rehearsing another round of disappointment. At press time, XRP traded at $2.01. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP’s on-chain metrics are reportedly painting a foreboding picture for its price outlook, as data shows a steep 80% decline in new wallet creation over the past five months. This drop in network activity has sparked divided opinions between two expert analysts, with one casting doubts on XRP’s ability to reclaim the $3 mark, and the other rejecting such bearish predictions.  XRP Price Surge To $3 Stalled In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, crypto analyst the ‘Coin Bureau’ highlights that XRP’s momentum appears to be fading fast as new on-chain data from Glassnode reveals a staggering 80% drop in wallet creation since January 2025. This sharp decline in network activity and growth has led the analyst to claim that the XRP price is unlikely to revisit the $3 level anytime soon.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Nears Climax, But A Twist Awaits—Analyst Reveals Key Insight At the height of XRP’s 2024 rally, both its price and user activity surged in tandem. During that time, new wallet addresses soared to nearly 30,000 per day in November, coinciding with a sharp rally that sent the token’s price surging close to $3. However, the explosive rally proved short-lived, as momentum faded and prices have since reversed.  As of mid-June 2025, Glassnode chart shows that new wallet creation has fallen drastically to around 2,000-5,000 per day, while daily active addresses plunged from 577,000 to just 34,000. XRP’s price, meanwhile, has settled just above $2 and has remained largely range-bound, failing to show signs of a sustained breakout.  According to Coin Bureau, this significant drop in on-chain engagement indicates that interest in XRP may have dried up, removing one of the key drivers behind its previous rally. Without new users entering the ecosystem or existing ones increasing XRP’s on-chain activity, the analyst warns that the conditions necessary for an immediate $3 price reclaim aren’t present.  Analyst Debunks Bearish Forecast While Coin Bureau’s data paints a picture of declining interest and slow price growth, one crypto expert, known as Moon Lambo on X, has pushed back against the bearish narrative. He argues that XRP’s network activity actually reflects growing strength and long-term confidence.  The chart presented by the analyst, covering wallet creation data from June 2024 to June 2025, shows an undeniable spike in network activity between November and early January—a surge that peaked during a period of heightened market enthusiasm following the US elections. As the post-election euphoria faded and investor sentiment cooled off, XRP’s on-chain metrics, like daily new account creations, naturally returned to lower levels. Moon Lambo indicates that this drop does not reflect weakness in the XRP ecosystem, as Coin Bureau claimed. The analyst argues that the decline in activity was a healthy correction that occurred right after an abnormal spike in activity driven by macro excitement, and not a reflection of any breakdown in XRP’s fundamentals.  To further support the bullish thesis, Moon Lambo pointed out that Google Trends shows that search interest in Bitcoin has declined significantly, confirming that the lull in on-chain activity is not exclusive to just XRP but reflective of a broader market cool-off.

After weeks of lower highs and higher lows, XRP’s daily candlestick price chart is now giving a signal that could dictate the next major move. Although the token is still holding above key horizontal levels near $2.13, technical data suggests momentum is starting to slip. A technical analysis of XRP’s daily RSI indicator offers a clue into what comes next, and it’s not necessarily bullish in the short term. XRP RSI Breakdown: Loss Of Strength In Momentum According to an analysis posted by crypto chartist CasiTrades on the social media platform X, XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has just broken beneath a well-respected trendline that had been tracking higher lows since early April. The breakdown of this RSI structure, which is shown on the lower half of the chart below, is a strong shift in the short-term momentum dynamics for XRP. Related Reading: Bitcoin Nears Climax, But A Twist Awaits—Analyst Reveals Key Insight It shows that despite the XRP price holding relatively flat above the 0.5 Fibonacci level at $2.13, internal market strength has clearly weakened. The RSI had been forming a tightening wedge pattern for weeks, just like the price action’s compression at the apex of a symmetrical triangle on the daily timeframe. This type of RSI trendline break typically signals a coming volatility expansion, and as the analyst warns, the release may come with a sharp sweep to major support before XRP reverses. It’s a common occurrence for major price reversals to be preceded by a push into lower supports. In the case of XRP, crypto analyst CasiTrades highlighted some price targets to watch for reversals in case there’s a breakdown in XRP price. Support Levels At Risk: XRP Searching For Rebound Level XRP’s price action is now entering an important test phase, one that could take its price lower before rebounding for the next major rally. Analysis from CasiTrades shows a few demand zones where buyers have stepped in. These demand zones are situated at $2.01, which aligns with the 1.236 Fibonacci extension, the $1.90 price level, and $1.55, which corresponds with the 0.618 retracement level from one of the recent rallies. These levels are filled with enough liquidity, and until XRP breaks and holds above $3, these supports will always be in play. If XRP hits one of these support levels cleanly and exhibits a sharp V-shaped recovery, that would signal the market found its pivot. Related Reading: Dogecoin Breaks Free—Could Soar 60%, Analyst Says However, if XRP approaches these levels and stalls or bounces prematurely, that may lead to a final shakeout move, forming a deeper low before the real reversal begins. Either way, the RSI breakdown has now tilted short-term risk toward the downside, at least until price confirms a strong reclaim above $2.50 and $3. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.11, down by 2% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Picjumbo, chart from TradingView

After the market crash that sent the Bitcoin price falling toward $100,000, the XRP price also saw a notable decline, and this crash has brought it toward an important level. While the digital asset continues to hold above the $2.1 level, it remains critical support and a break below this could be negative for the price. This is outlined by crypto analyst The Alchemist Trader, who has shown what direction the XRP price could be headed in depending on what happens here. XRP Price Threatens Major Support Level After the almost 4.5% decline that ravaged the XRP price over the last week, it has been pushed down toward the next major support level, lying just above $2.09. So far, the bulls have defended this level, but the multiple tests suggest that a breakdown at this level could be in view. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts 20% Ethereum Price Crash Below $2,000, Here’s Why The analyst explains that the reason this level is so important is that it actually includes the value area low recorded in previous declines. Additionally, it is the 200-day moving average (MA) for the cryptocurrency, and also now serves as a key daily support/resistance flip. This means either camp of the bulls and bears can pull it in their direction, making it incredibly important for what happens to the XRP price in the short term. Given the importance of this level, whether it holds or breaks will carry serious implications for the XRP price. In the bearish scenario, the crypto analyst explains that a break below this support would trigger a liquidity sweep as the price dumps lower. The possibility of a break is even higher now, given that this level has already been tested multiple times. The Alchemist explains that each test weakens the level, putting it at risk of a breakdown. However, with long consolidation so far above this level, there is a bullish scenario that is rising. As bulls continue to maintain this support, further strength here could erode the possibility of a decline. If properly defended with a notable uptick in volume, in addition to a move upward into the recent local highs at $2.4, then it is likely that the XRP price continues to move up. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullish Wave Towards ATH Coming? Here Are The Targets “For bulls, a clean defense of this level with volume and a move back above recent local highs would indicate a potential rotation toward the next resistance,” the analysis read. “For bears, a breakdown without a reclaim increases the likelihood of continuation to the downside.” As for how to play the current trend, the analyst advises investors to exercise caution and wait for confirmation before taking positions. The confirmation here would either be a break below the support or a strong upward rally away from it, signaling a clear direction. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

CryptoInsightUK’s latest market briefing arrives with the sound of literal hammer blows next door, an accidental soundtrack to the pounding he expects traders to take before the next rally. In a thirteen–minute walkthrough of XRP, Bitcoin and Ethereum liquidity maps, the British analyst argues that the market is staging what he calls “a deliberate trap” designed to flush out weak hands, harvest stop-loss orders and maximise upside leverage for larger players—leaving retail participants “screaming, ‘Yay, we’re going to the upside,’ … only to find out they’ve been played.” The Trap Is Set, Warns XRP Trader He begins with XRP’s five-month down-channel that started at the New-Year peak, noting that price continues to hug the underside of a descending trend line. “We’re stuck below that trend line basically looking to see if this liquidity is going to get taken below us. My obvious opinion is that it is,” he says, underscoring the conviction that a sweep of resting bids below remains the path of least resistance. The flush, he contends, would “make our journey to the upside much better and much easier to navigate,” because it would reset funding, scare out late longs and reload the order book for what he still calls the next “parabolic expansion probably up towards the $8 to $12 region.” Related Reading: ‘Out of Time’: XRP Consolidation Hits Final Moment, Analyst Alerts The trap, however, may not be a straightforward vertical collapse. Charts, he reminds viewers, “love doing something like” an initial breakout that rallies 15-20%, convinces traders the bear-phase is finished, and then abruptly reverses into the deep liquidity pocket below. “That’s exactly how higher-highs-and-higher-lows type situations are supposed to get you frustrated,” he says, openly conceding that the pattern looks engineered. The phrase he never uses—manipulation—hovers unspoken over the analysis, but his rhetoric leaves little doubt: “This is how they test everybody.” Bitcoin, in his narrative, may serve as the decoy that sets the trap. The benchmark asset has already slipped out of its own wedge-like consolidation and, he observes, “does like to do this sort of thing” by staging premature upside breaks. He sketches a possible march toward $115,000 that would “delay the inevitable” and then give way to a liquidity hunt of its own. Even so, his mid-cycle price band for Bitcoin remains $150,000 to $220,000. That upside, he argues, justifies dollar-cost-averaging into altcoins even while keeping “a tiny bit of dry powder” in reserve for the washout he expects. Related Reading: XRP 5-Wave Count Shows When The Price Will Hit All-Time Highs Above $5 A more elaborate scenario involves a temporary dominance surge in Bitcoin to the 66 to 74% range. As Bitcoin siphons capital, alts such as XRP would “bleed out,” take the downside liquidity target, and only then reverse as cash rotates back into their order books. He illustrates the dance on twin TradingView panels—Bitcoin on the left, XRP on the right—before concluding that the rotational setup is “not highly likely” because it requires several macro-scale dominoes to fall in sequence. Still, he refuses to dismiss it, pointing to the strategic reserve bill in Washington as the sort of narrative catalyst that could spark a temporary Bitcoin-only rally and demoralise alt-holders. Macro-risk flickers through the commentary—wars that could “shove us down” in the near term—but he treats geopolitical stress as a catalyst for final capitulation rather than a thesis-killer. “The upside is so large it almost can’t be ignored,” he insists, framing the present chop as a high-volatility pause before a structural up-leg. Whether that leg begins only after a full flush or emerges from yet another fake-out remains uncertain, but the analyst’s message is unmistakable: traders who chase breakouts without accounting for hidden hands risk being liquidated first, spectators to the parabola they hoped to ride. For now he is content to wait “for the market to do its worst trick,” believing that the final shakeout will announce itself through a sudden, depth-piercing wick. “You’re being played,” he warns. The admonition is stark: if the playbook unfolds as expected, the pain will be quick. “If we get these levels, that’s where I’m putting the last bit of my dry powder in[…]. It’s $1.80-ish, $1.90 maybe.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.16. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price is currently trading well below $3; however, a crypto expert believes that in less than two years, this popular altcoin could enter the double-digit territory, marking a historic moment in crypto. The analyst has forecasted a potential surge to $27, pointing to a re-emerging pattern from 2017. With over six months left before 2026 begins, the expert has outlined a clear roadmap of how XRP could reach this bullish target if it completely mirrors the historic fractal.  XRP Price Prediction For 2026 A new technical analysis by X (formerly Twitter) market expert Egrag Crypto suggests that XRP has yet to see its biggest breakout. The trajectory of the analyst’s chart mirrors the same technical path that XRP followed before hitting its 2018 peak and current all-time high of $3.84.  Related Reading: XRP To End 7-Month Consolidation After 700% Surge – Is A Major Move Coming? Egrag Crypto highlights that XRP is on the verge of an explosive rally that may extend into 2026, with current market behavior echoing the conditions and buildup that preceded its 2017 breakout. Notably, the analyst’s price chart shows that the XRP monthly candle structure went through six candles of consolidation before it launched into a parabolic rise in late 2017. Now, the cryptocurrency has consolidated for seven monthly candles, highlighted by the green triangle in the chart.  If the eight completes, the analyst expects a dramatic “KABOOM phase” to follow—one that could propel XRP to price levels not seen before. The bullish projections point to a possible blow-off top somewhere between $22 and $27, aligning with the highest blue arc on the chart. Currently, XRP is trading at $2.15, meaning a surge to $27 would represent a whopping 1,156% in less than two years.  With July 2025 highlighted as the potential trigger month, Egrag Crypto believes that the breakout could extend its momentum toward the end of 2025 and peak in 2026. The formation, known as the RGB Arcs, presents a visual roadmap of this projected bullish path—reinforcing the possibility that XRP is preparing to repeat history—only bigger. XRP To Reach $4 Before $27 Target In his analysis, Egrag Crypto’s chart spanned from 2013 through 2017, connecting XRP’s peaks to a series of colored parabolic curves. The red arcs in the chart represented the macro support line, while the green arc marked historical resistance levels—reached in 2018, and now projected for 2025-2026.  Related Reading: XRP Price Enters Perfect Setup After Buy Retest – Next Stop $3.7 Notably, the analyst predicts that XRP’s first breakout zone lies between $4 and $5. Once this target is hit, the cryptocurrency is expected to move into the upper green and blue arcs, positioning it for a stronger surge toward the forecasted $27 peak.  Egrag Crypto has described this initial target as a measured move, where the final outcome is solely based on historical price patterns rather than pure speculation. He urges the broader XRP community to remain strong and patient until the cryptocurrency progresses toward these levels.  Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst XForce has again alluded to the 5-Wave count to show when the XRP Price is likely to hit a new all-time high (ATH) above $5. As part of his analysis, the analyst also declared that there is no reason to be bearish on the altcoin at the moment.  XRP To Rally Above $5 Based On 5-Wave Count In an X post, XForce shared an accompanying chart that showed that XRP could rally above $5 on the Wave 3 impulsive move to the upside. The altcoin could even rally to double digits and touch $13 on this move. The chart also showed that XRP will reach this target by year-end or early next year.   Related Reading: XRP To End 7-Month Consolidation After 700% Surge – Is A Major Move Coming? Based on the 5-Wave count, XRP will then witness a price correction to around $5 on Wave 4 before it then rallies to around $25 on Wave 5, an impulsive move to the upside. XForce is confident that the current price action is going according to plan. He noted that the macro direction was met with very little margin of error.  Furthermore, the crypto analyst remarked that everything from the Wave 4 triangle breakout to the anticipated 1 to 2 pullback following the 5-wave impulse followed the blueprint. In line with this, he declared that there is no valid reason to adopt a bearish stance unless the market invalidates the bullish case for XRP. XForce also affirmed that XRP is within the bounds of the same two scenarios but that the ultra-bullish scenario of a rally to double digits is gaining more credibility by the day. The more conservative scenario for the altcoin is a rally to $4, which could still mark a new all-time high for XRP. The analyst earlier declared that all scenarios on the medium timeframe still show the altcoin reaching a new ATH in this market cycle.  XRP Consolidation Has Reached Its Peak In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that the XRP consolidation has finally reached its apex and that something big is coming next. She remarked that the altcoin could either record an explosive breakout or see one final sharp drop to support that ignites a breakout. Either way, XRP looks likely to rally to the upside soon.  Related Reading: XRP Price At $27: Guardian Arch Formation Predictions 1,000% Move CasiTrades stated that the XRP price continues to struggle with the $2.25 level. As long as this level remains resistance, she claimed that it increases the likelihood of the altcoin dropping to support levels at $2.01, $1.90, and even $1.55. However, the analyst declared that these aren’t bearish targets but momentum zones, where the market grabs the liquidity it needs to build momentum for Wave 3.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.16, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

In a post late Wednesday, independent technician CasiTrades—followed by 20,000 accounts on the platform—warned that “the market is officially out of time” and that XRP’s multi-month coil has compressed to the tipping point. Why XRP ‘Is Out Of Time’ “After months of tightening, the XRP consolidation has finally reached its apex and something big is coming next,” she wrote. “There are only two paths from here: either the explosive breakout we’ve been waiting for begins now, or we see one final sharp drop to support that ignites the breakout we’ve all been preparing for.” CasiTrades’ roadmap turns on a single price: $2.25. XRP has probed that level repeatedly since the first week of June but has yet to close above it. “Price continues to struggle with the $2.25 level, a level I’ve talked about continuously,” she noted, arguing that every failed attempt increases the probability of a stop-hunt toward $2.01, $1.90, even $1.55. Those levels, she stressed, are “momentum zones… areas where the market grabs the liquidity it needs to build momentum for wave 3.” Related Reading: XRP To End 7-Month Consolidation After 700% Surge – Is A Major Move On his daily chart the Relative-Strength Index has been tracing a shallow upward channel while price has moved sideways, a structure the analyst calls a “guide for the end of this squeeze.” The confluence—a volatility funnel on price and a steady grind higher on momentum—mirrors the pattern that preceded XRP’s October 2023 breakout. Beyond geometry, timing is central to CasiTrades’ argument. “It’s mid-week, Wednesday—this is when sentiment tends to flip,” she wrote, invoking a playbook familiar to short-term traders: a fake-out in the back half of the week that reverses by Friday’s close, leaving late-entrants stranded. The setup, she said, is no longer purely technical. “This is not just technicals lining up, it’s the whole picture aligning. Sentiment, structure, timing, even global headlines.” Related Reading: XRP Addresses Holding 1M Coins Reach 12-Year High As Experts Predict Move Above $4 By mid-morning in Europe, XRP was quoted at $2.16, roughly three percent below the resistance that defines CasiTrades’ fork-in-the-road. Seven-day realised volatility has fallen to its lowest reading since February, underlining the sense of a market biding its time. Whether the catalyst comes from a decisive hourly close above $2.25 or from a liquidity sweep into the $1.90s, the analyst’s central claim is unchanged: the consolidation’s lifespan has effectively expired. As she signed off, CasiTrades offered a final exhortation—short, sharp, and consistent with the urgency of his chart: “Do not miss what’s next.” Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is witnessing increased network activity, which is bullish for its native token’s price. On-chain data also shows that whales are actively accumulating XRP, with the addresses holding one million coins recently reaching a new high.  XRP Ledger Records Massive Growth In Past Week In an X post, on-chain analytics platform Santiment revealed that the XRP Ledger is showing signs of growth, from both a usage and key stakeholder perspective. The platform revealed that there are now over 2,700 whale and shark wallets holding at least 1 million XRP for the first time in the token’s 12-year history.   Related Reading: Is There A “Secret XRP Ledger” And Is The Price Really At $1,000? Additionally, Santiment stated that the number of active XRP addresses has averaged over 295,000 daily over the past week. This is notable as the normal daily average over the past three months was between 35,000 and 40,000. It is worth mentioning that the XRPL recorded some major developments last week.  One is the launch of Circle’s USDC stablecoin on the XRP Ledger. This is expected to boost network activity given the increasing demand for stablecoins. Crypto analyst Moon Lambo predicted that this would increase the total value locked (TVL) on the network. He also noted how this was bullish for the XRP price, since users will need the token for every USDC transaction.  Furthermore, Ondo Finance launched its tokenized US treasury fund (OUSG) on the XRP Ledger last week, which could have also contributed to the surge in network activity. The BlackRock-backed fund will be mintable and redeemable using the RLUSD stablecoin. Meanwhile, Guggenheim also recently partnered with Ripple to launch the first Digital Commercial Paper on the XRPL.  Expert Predicts Price Rally Above $4 Amid the surge in network activity on the XRPL, crypto analyst Javon Marks has predicted that the XRP price could rally above $4 and even reach as high as $8. He stated that the altcoin is holding a clear breakout and is getting ready for a major bullish continuation. Marks added that the targets are at $4.80 and $8, marking new all-time highs (ATHs) for XRP.  Related Reading: These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $25-$75 In June – Analyst Crypto analyst Dark Defender recently alluded to a previous analysis in which he stated that the XRP price could make a decision within two weeks. The analyst is confident that the altcoin could rally to as high as $6 on this Wave 5 impulsive move to the upside. He has also previously predicted that XRP would reach double digits in this market cycle.  On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the XRP price has again dropped below the $2.25 level. Crypto analyst CasiTrades had warned that the support levels at $2.01, $1.90, and $1.55 could be in play if the $2.25 level holds as resistance.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.16, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

After months of sideways movement, XRP may finally be gearing up for a significant breakout. According to analysts, the popular altcoin saw a dramatic 700% surge earlier last year. Now, its price is positioned to exit a seven-month consolidation phase, which could set it up for its next bullish move.  XRP Gets Ready For Major Bullish Move A recently published technical chart by market expert ‘Crypto Michael’ on X (formerly Twitter) reveals that XRP has been consolidating for seven months following a staggering 700% price rally, which was triggered by a breakout from a multi-year Symmetrical Triangle pattern. The chart, based on a 3-month candlestick, shows that XRP had been in a major price compression within the triangle pattern for seven years.  Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Track For $1.5T Market Cap And 27% Crypto Market Dominance True to form, XRP finally broke above the upper trendline of the pennant in late 2024, igniting one of its most powerful quarterly rallies to date. This breakout led to a price surge of about 700%, pushing the cryptocurrency from around $0.6 to over $2.  Since the dramatic breakout, XRP has entered a stabilization phase, trading sideways in what appears to be a healthy consolidation range. The chart highlights this consolidation area with a white circle, indicating a well-defined post-breakout phase. Notably, XRP’s $2.15 price at the time of the analysis is above prior resistance levels, suggesting that the cryptocurrency is maintaining strength while waiting for its next bullish catalyst.  Crypto Michael points out that XRP’s consolidation is ending just as Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, approaches a critical juncture: the “8-year line.” This correlation suggests that a broader shift in market sentiment may be underway.  Historically, leading altcoins like XRP have followed Bitcoin’s lead during broader market rallies. If BTC successfully breaks through this long-standing line, Crypto Michael believes it could serve as a macro trigger that ignites a fresh bullish move for XRP. Analyst Says The Altcoin Is Set To Explode Against BTC A fresh analysis by Egrag Crypto, a crypto analyst on X, suggests that the XRP/BTC pair could be on the edge of a major breakout. The pair has followed a consistent cycle for over a decade, with lows in 2015, 2017, 2020, and 2024—each succeeded by strong rallies. These lows align with a rising trendline, signaling possible long-term strength.  Related Reading: XRP Bullish Structure Remains Bullish: Analyst Releases 3 New Targets Now, XRP/BTC is approaching a key resistance level that has blocked past rallies since 2015. This time, however, Egrag Crypto suggests that the setup looks different and slightly more favorable for a breakout. If the pair breaks above this multi-year ceiling, it could mark a major turning point, effectively leading XRP into an explosive bullish phase. The analyst’s chart outlines two potential paths: a green breakout zone if XRP pushes higher and a red rejection zone if it fails to break this key resistance again.

XRP bulls appear to be facing one last test of conviction before the market’s next explosive phase, according to CryptoInsightUK’s video analysis released on 16 June. The British analyst argues that the token is sculpting an inverse head-and-shoulders formation whose right shoulder “still needs to form around the high-$1.80s” before any sustained rally can commence. How Low Must XRP Go? In the broadcast, he emphasised that “dense liquidity is below us,” pointing to a confluence of resting bids and stop-loss clusters between roughly $1.92 and $1.80. “I still think it comes down to make the right shoulder which is around 1.88,” he said, adding that a swift wash-out into that pocket would “flush the lows, tap in there and send it.” At present, XRP is changing hands near $2.24, up about 3% over the past 24 hours, which implies a prospective drawdown of roughly 20% if the market fulfills his downside scenario. From the analyst’s vantage point, such a retreat is less a cause for alarm than a prerequisite for the next major leg higher: “If we come down first, we’ve done the downside part. Otherwise I’m still going to be worried about going down even if we come up to $2.42 or higher.” Related Reading: What Are The Implications For XRP If Ripple Captures 14% Of SWIFT’s Volume? He linked the bearish short-term bias to structural forces beyond the XRP Ledger’s ecosystem. Bitcoin dominance, he noted, has crept toward a historical inflection zone that previously triggered alt-seasons: “Anywhere in this box could be the start of alt-season… That would probably coincide with Bitcoin dropping to between $100,000 and $93,000.” A dominance spike fed by a late-cycle Bitcoin dip, he argued, would typically inflict outsized percentage losses on major altcoins—including XRP—before liquidity rotates back into them. Within XRP’s own order book, CryptoInsightUK highlighted a “liquidity vacuum” created by May’s capitulation candle. Although the token has since retraced most of that single-session collapse, he described the rebound as “choppy corrective price action,” lacking the conviction and volume that accompanied earlier impulse waves. The right-shoulder flush, in his view, would neutralise residual leverage, particularly among traders who re-loaded longs too aggressively during the $2.15–$2.40 bounce. How High Can XRP Explode? The inverse head-and-shoulders thesis also features prominently on his long-range chart, stretching back to mid-May. The analyst first published the pattern on X, showing a left shoulder near $2.42, a head at $1.47, and a neckline just above $2.50. Completing a symmetrical right shoulder near $1.88 would, by classical pattern-measuring rules, project an upside target above $3.50—a level not visited since late-2021’s cycle top. Related Reading: Still Sleeping On XRP? Analyst Says $8 Breakout Is ‘Just Waiting’ Liquidity dynamics across the broader market reinforce his caution. Open interest in perpetual swaps for Ether, he observed, remains “as high as it’s ever been,” suggesting that any sudden drop in majors could spark a forced-liquidation cascade across altcoin pairs. “These people will be flushed out,” he warned, calling attention to negative-funding episodes that hint at an overcrowded short base waiting to be squeezed—once the final downside pocket has been filled. Despite the near-term jitters, CryptoInsightUK reiterated a resolutely bullish macro stance. “The next stage I’m most certain about is that we’re going to go significantly higher for crypto,” he told viewers. Drawing parallels with gold’s record weekly close, he argued that an undercurrent of global risk aversion is quietly supporting non-sovereign stores of value, positioning both Bitcoin and XRP for accelerated appreciation once the technical reset concludes. For long-term holders, his advice was unequivocal: avoid wholesale portfolio shifts and instead treat any sub-$2.00 wick as a final accumulation window. “Dollar-cost averaging from here is a good thing to do,” he said, revealing that 97% of his own capital remains in spot positions, with only a single-digit percentage reserved for surgical bids in the $1.80–$1.92 zone. Whether XRP respects that script will become clear in the days ahead. Should the market indeed sweep into the high-$1.80s and rebound with the aggressive thrust the analyst expects, the right shoulder will be complete—and the runway clear—for the long-awaited take-off. At press time, XRP traded at $2.23. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

A recent analysis by a crypto market expert has reignited interest in XRP’s potential utility, especially in the context of Ripple capturing a portion of SWIFT’s global transaction volume. According to the expert, if Ripple secures just 14% of SWIFT’s market share, the implications for XRP’s supply and potential could be significant. XRP’s Potential If Ripple Takes On 14% Of SWIFT Market expert Crypto Eri has emphasized, through detailed mathematical calculations, the impact Ripple, capturing 14% of SWIFT’s total annual cross-border volume, could have on XRP’s supply and daily transactions. Notably, the market expert emphasized that if Ripple were to process such a percentage, which is roughly $4.2 trillion, it would require a surprisingly small portion of XRP’s total supply to support the transaction.  Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Track For $1.5T Market Cap And 27% Crypto Market Dominance According to Crypto Eri’s calculations, the $4.2 trillion annual volume translates to approximately $11.5 billion in daily transaction value. To assess how much the altcoin would be needed to facilitate this, the analyst assumed a deliberately conservative scenario, with each token being used once every three minutes. This is significantly slower than XRP’s actual settlement capability of 3 to 5 seconds but was chosen to reflect the potential liquidity management constraints in real-world applications.  With 86,400 seconds in a day and each transaction occupying about 80 seconds, each XRP could be used for up to 480 transactions daily. Moreover, at the current market price of $2.15, Crypto Eri calculated that one XRP could facilitate $1,032 worth of transactions per day. To process the estimated $11.5 billion in daily volume, this would need approximately 11.15 million XRP tokens. This figure is striking when compared to XRP’s circulating supply, which currently stands at around 58.82 billion tokens. Crypto Eri stated that just 0.0190% of this supply would be necessary to handle the calculated transaction volume, reinforcing the idea that XRP’s high velocity and reusability make it a possible efficient bridge asset.  Overall, Crypto Eri’s Ripple-SWIFT analysis model presents a compelling case for XRP’s utility in the global payments space. Her calculations and projections have also sparked widespread engagement across the crypto community, with several independent researchers and members concurring with her assessment and contributing their data-driven models to validate the projections further.  The Token Burn Rate Estimates For Trillion-Dollar Use Case As XRP’s potential utility in global finance is brought into focus by Crypto Eri, the market expert also offers new insight into XRP’s burn rate in terms of fees needed to facilitate a $5 trillion annual transaction volume. A crypto community member followed up on the analyst’s earlier Ripple and SWIFT calculations by asking how many of the token would be conservatively burned through transaction fees. Related Reading: Liquidity Levels Show XRP Price Is Headed Up, But Must Cross $2.40 First The analyst estimated that only 5,000 XRP would be permanently burned in the process—an astonishingly small figure considering the massive scale of value being transferred. The estimate assumes an average transaction size of $10,000, which would result in roughly 500 million transactions per year to reach the $5 trillion mark.

In a livestream on June 15, crypto analyst Cantonese Cat delivered a firm verdict on XRP’s prolonged consolidation: don’t be fooled by the sideways drift. Despite trading in a tight range for over half a year, the chart veteran argued XRP is building energy for a powerful move, one that could take it as high as $6 to $8 once it breaks out of its multi-month technical cage. XRP To $8? “This thing has been going sideways for seven months,” he said. “But the entire time, it’s just hugging this GAN line.” He referred to a long-standing monthly Gann arc structure that XRP has been grinding against since late 2024. In his interpretation, the repeated tests of that arc—combined with price holding above key support zones—signal strength rather than weakness. “It’s just waiting for its thing,” he added, implying that the eventual move could be sharp and sudden. Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Track For $1.5T Market Cap And 27% Crypto Market Dominance Cantonese Cat highlighted that the current price action is sitting just beneath the next major Gann resistance level, which aligns closely with a Fibonacci extension target between $6 and $8. That arc, he believes, will be the trigger. “I think the next level is going to end up breaking up to the GAN arc up above,” he said, adding that a clean breach of this level could mark the start of XRP’s long-awaited parabolic run. He also pulled up the monthly Ichimoku Cloud, pointing out that XRP had already broken above it—a significant bullish milestone in Ichimoku analysis. “Initially it had a rejection of the Ichimoku cloud,” he explained, “and now we have a true breakout.” Most importantly, XRP has held the Tenkan and Kijun without falling back into the cloud. “This is basically a look of bullishness,” he noted, citing the textbook structure of a confirmed trend reversal. The broader structure, according to his analysis, is a classic breakout setup: a horizontal level was cleared, back-tested, and is now serving as support. “You’re basically breaking above a horizontal level here and back testing it. And so far, you’re holding it pretty convincingly.” To reinforce his thesis, he pointed to Fibonacci retracements—specifically, XRP’s behavior around the 0.86 level, which the asset has been flirting with. “If you’re able to convincingly break above 0.86 here,” he said, “then all-time high stuff could happen.” Asked by viewers why the market isn’t moving yet, he dismissed the apparent stagnation as noise. “It’s just going sideways, guys,” he said. “It’s just waiting for its thing.” In his view, the lack of momentum is not a sign of weakness, but rather a signal that XRP is compressing in a low-volatility zone—a typical prelude to a high-volatility expansion. “Whenever it decides to get done with this shenanigans,” he added, “it’s probably going to go up.” Despite XRP’s muted performance while other assets like Bitcoin and Solana have captured headlines, Cantonese Cat made clear that he sees no structural damage on the chart. Quite the opposite: he views the persistent adherence to long-term support levels, especially on the monthly timeframe, as an indication that XRP is simply coiling beneath resistance. Related Reading: XRP Has A 70% Shot To Beat Bitcoin, Says Analyst In a cycle increasingly defined by breakout-driven flows and rotational capital, he framed XRP’s dormancy not as a failure, but as a delayed opportunity. “Still holding the Tenkan and Kijun just fine,” he said. “This is what bullish looks like.” The analyst didn’t offer a date, but was blunt about the price levels to watch. If XRP clears the monthly Gann arc and maintains strength above the 0.86 Fibonacci zone, the $6–$8 range comes into play—levels that would not only exceed previous all-time highs, but also flip sentiment from apathy to euphoria in a matter of weeks. Until then, he warned, XRP’s breakout might not announce itself loudly. But when it comes, few will be positioned. “Still sleeping on XRP?” he asked. “You might want to wake up soon.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.20 Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price is back in the spotlight as fresh projections place the digital asset on a steady path toward a $1.5 trillion Market Capitalization and a 27% crypto market dominance. Notably, analysts remain broadly optimistic about XRP’s long-term outlook, pointing to historical trends, current price movements, and key resistance levels as strong indicators backing this bold prediction.  XRP Price Eyes $1.5 Trillion Market Cap And 27% Dominance Despite still experiencing strong consolidation, the XRP price is reportedly on track to capture 27% of the total crypto market dominance and reach a $1.5 trillion market cap. This projection by a prominent market analyst, Egrag Crypto on X (formerly Twitter), has sparked discussions within the XRP community, drawing mixed reactions over the possibility of this ambitious forecast.  Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Flag Pattern Above Accumulation Zone That Points To $5 Target At the heart of this analysis is the notion that the total crypto market cap could eventually expand to a $5.5 trillion valuation, possibly driven by skyrocketing institutional adoption, broader retail participation, regularity clarity, and more. Under such a scenario where XRP is also forecasted to command a 27% market share, its total market cap would equate to roughly $1.485, bringing its projected price close to a historical all-time high of $27.  Supporting Egrag Crypto’s optimistic outlook is a historical analysis of XRP dominance levels, particularly focusing on the 0.5 Fibonacci Retracement level around the 5.75% mark. The analyst shared a detailed price chart, identifying this key level as a long-standing resistance zone where XRP dominance has been consistently rejected, first in October 2019, then in November 2020, and again in January and March 2025.  According to the analyst, repeated testing of this key resistance is likely to trigger a breakout reaction once it is breached. He offered a unique analogy, describing the resistance testing as “knocking on the door—the more you knock, the higher the chances it opens.” Having already knocked on this resistance level four times in the past, XRP is now approaching its fifth attempt. The analyst believes that this could be the moment the “door” opens, signaling a potential breakout that could lead to a rise to the projected $1.5 trillion market cap and 27% dominance.  Notably, the XRP market cap currently stands at $2.77 billion, meaning it would need to surge by over 54,000% to reach the ambitious $1.5 trillion valuation. In addition, XRP’s present market dominance is around 3.93%—a far cry from the projected 27% market share. This highlights the scale of the growth required, both in value and influence, for XRP to meet the analyst’s forecasted milestones.  Bull Flag Set-Up Support Analyst’s Bold Predictions  Adding strength to Egrag Crypto’s optimistic market cap and dominance forecast is the emergence of a Bull Flag formation on the macro XRP chart, which historically signals continuation to the upside following a consolidation period.  Related Reading: XRP Price To New All-Time Highs Above $4 – Analyst Reveals When To Take Profit The “KABOOM” zone labeled on the analyst’s XRP chart also signifies the critical breakout resistance threshold XRP must overcome. A successful breakout here could lead the price into a low resistance area marked as the “VOID,” potentially paving the way for rapid gains and a rise to the 27% market dominance.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicted that XRP could soon take a chunk of SWIFT’s trading volume. Meanwhile, Circle’s USDC recently launched on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Both developments could provide a huge boost for the XRP price, given the altcoin’s role in the XRPL ecosystem.  XRP Price Gets A Boost With Ripple CEO Garlinghouse’s Prediction At the XRPL Apex Conference, Brad Garlinghouse predicted that the XRP could capture 14% of the volume that SWIFT processes by 2030. He noted that SWIFT has two key components: messaging and liquidity. The Ripple CEO added that liquidity is where the power lies and that if XRP drives the liquidity layer, it would gain significantly. This could also spark a surge in the XRP price in the process. Related Reading: Ripple Issues Stern Warning To Investors As CEO Celebrates New XRP Milestone Ripple uses XRP for its payment services, which it runs on the XRPL. In this case, Ripple is betting on taking 14% of SWIFT’s trading volume because of how fast and easy it is to process these cross-border transactions using blockchain technology. This isn’t the case for SWIFT, as the platform focuses more on interbank messaging for these cross-border transfers.  In a now-deleted X post, pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton commented on this prediction and what it could mean for the XRP price. He stated that SWIFT processes approximately $5 trillion in transactions daily. This means that 14% of SWIFT’s daily market volume equates to $700 billion daily or approximately $175 trillion annually. Deaton failed to give a particular price prediction based on these numbers.  However, Fruition, another XRP community member, provided a calculation that could put the XRP price in triple digits. In an X post, they noted that SWIFT moves 150 trillion per year and that 14% of that is 21 trillion. Fruition added that 21 trillion through the XRPL means 58 billion tokens, which equates to $357 for the XRP price. Circle’s USDC Launches On XRPL In an X post, Circle announced that its USDC stablecoin is now available on the XRP Ledger, another development that is bullish for the XRP price. The stablecoin firm noted that XRPL users will now be able to use USDC for DeFi liquidity provisioning, payments, and it could also serve as a settlement option for infrastructure apps.  Related Reading: Daily Timeframe Says XRP Price Is On The Verge Of Breakout Crypto analyst Moon Lambo broke down why the USDC launch on XRPL is bullish for the XRP price. He stated that this development will substantially increase the total value locked on the network, which is a major predictor of whether the XRP price will appreciate. The crypto analyst added how this provides additional utility for XRP. He noted that the altcoin will be used to pay gas fees on every USDC transaction on the network.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.15, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

A fresh XRP/BTC chart released on 12 June by the market technician known as Dr. Cat has injected new controversy into one of crypto’s most stubborn trading pairs. The analyst, posting to X, argues that despite a bruising six-week slide, conditions still favour an eventual breakout for XRP that would leave Bitcoin lagging. He assigns the scenario a formidable 70 percent probability. XRP Vs. Bitcoin: 70% Chance Of Breakout, But When? At the heart of Dr. Cat’s thesis is the 2,041-satoshi level, where three separate Ichimoku timeframes—monthly, bi-monthly and tri-monthly—intersect. “The price keeps eating support after support with no reaction from bulls at all as if supports don’t exist,” he concedes, but he stresses that this specific shelf is “the most important support.” Related Reading: XRP Could Crash To $1.55 Before Explosive Surge, Analyst Warns Candles on the attached one-month chart already hover fractionally below the line; a decisive monthly close beneath it, he warns, would flip the three-day structure fully bearish and scatter the pair into unpredictable, possibly chaotic ranges. Even so, the strategist insists history is on the side of XRP bulls. “Price has spent years performing very well and coiling up with higher lows for this attack now,” he writes, framing the past twelve quarters as a prolonged accumulation that has never surrendered its series of macro higher lows. That coiling, he believes, will allow XRP to mount at least a “minor … attack in August” toward the 3,000-satoshi region—roughly a 45 percent appreciation from current levels—and perhaps fuel a “much bigger attack” once the broader market cycle matures. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Flag Pattern Above Accumulation Zone That Points To $5 Target The optimism is not unqualified. Dr. Cat calculates a 30 percent chance of a complete flop if 2,041 sats fails on a monthly-close basis. Under that bearish branch, the cross could slice toward 1,800 – 1,900 sats, attempt a feeble rebound, or continue a “slow bleed all the way down to the bottom of the range where it started the monster move.” In such a setback, he would not expect the long-anticipated “monster bullish move” until Q4 2025 at the earliest. For the moment, therefore, the market hangs on a single number. Hold above 2,041 and Dr. Cat sees a clear shot at outperforming Bitcoin—first modestly, then dramatically. Slip beneath it, and the road map dissolves into what he bluntly calls an “unpredictable/choppy” expanse. Either way, XRP traders now know exactly where the cycle’s pivot resides and precisely how thin the margin for error has become. At press time, XRP traded at $2.1287.

“Men lie, women lie, but charts and numbers do not lie,” EGRAG CRYPTO stated in a recent post on X, as he highlighted the importance of the Fib 0.5 level in XRP Dominance. According to him, this level has historically served as a major resistance zone. It acted as a key barrier in October 2019 and November 2020, both instances marking the onset of bear markets. In the current cycle, the Fib 0.5 level has once again proven significant, as it has rejected price advances in January and March 2025. The Knocking On The Door Analogy For XRP To drive his point home, EGRAG CRYPTO introduced what he called the “Knocking on the Door” analogy, a simple yet powerful metaphor to explain how resistance levels work in technical analysis. He stated that resistance is like a door; each time it is tested or “knocked on,” the likelihood of it eventually opening increases. Related Reading: XRP Price Enters Perfect Setup After Buy Retest – Next Stop $3.7 EGRAG pointed out that XRP Dominance has now tested this macro resistance level four separate times. These repeated tests are not just coincidences; they indicate building pressure at that level. Traders and analysts often interpret such repeated encounters as signs that the asset is preparing for a significant move, as momentum continues to build with each attempt to break through resistance. Looking ahead, EGRAG suggested that the fifth “knock” on this resistance level might be the one that finally breaks it. If this happens, XRP Dominance could form a bullish Bull Flag pattern, a technical formation that often precedes upward moves. According to EGRAG, this breakout could propel XRP Dominance to around 27%, marking a major shift in its market strength and possibly setting the stage for a broader bullish trend. Market Cap Projection & Future Potential The analyst unveiled a compelling projection that has stirred excitement within the XRP community: if XRP reaches a price of $27 with a 27% market dominance, this could push the total market capitalization to $5.5 trillion. This bold forecast reflects not only the possible future strength of XRP but also envisions a significant expansion of the broader crypto market. Related Reading: XRP Price Takes a Breather—Consolidation Phase or Bullish Setup? He further explained that with a $5.5 trillion total market cap, XRP claiming 27% of that share would result in a market capitalization of approximately $1.485 trillion. Such a figure would further solidify its status as a key player in the blockchain space. He maintained that XRP could still reach $27 while maintaining 27% market dominance, especially if the overall market experiences a strong bullish cycle. In his view, $1.485 trillion is not just a dream but a viable target that highlights XRP’s massive growth potential. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

The XRP price could be preparing for its biggest rally yet, as a crypto analyst now points to a potential breakout that could send this altcoin soaring. After weeks of stabilization and momentum building, XRP is now testing key resistance levels, with the daily timeframe hinting at a possible surge above $2.33.  XRP Price Gears Up For Major Breakout  Dark Defender, an X (formerly Twitter) crypto analyst, has revealed in a recent analysis that XRP appears to be setting the stage for a significant price shift, with its daily chart signaling a possible upward breakout. After weeks of consolidation below a descending trendline, the altcoin is now approaching a critical level that could become the trigger point for rapid momentum growth, if confirmed. Related Reading: XRP Price Could Hit $21 This Bull Cycle With 1.618 Fib Level As Next Target Currently, the daily timeframe shows XRP testing a long-term downtrend line that has consistently rejected upward movements since early 2025. This resistance level, marked clearly on the analyst’s chart, hovers just above $2.3. Dark Defender has indicated that a daily candle close above $2.33 could effectively invalidate the downtrend and signal a breakout that may lead to further upside.  Notably, the analyst’s 1-day XRP price chart shows an explosive move toward a new high of $3.39—a level not seen since the 2018 bull cycle. With XRP currently trading at $2.1, a successful rally to this bullish target would represent an impressive 61.43% surge in value. Such a move would not only break XRP out of its current consolidation phase but also confirm the emergence of a sustained uptrend. Moreover, if momentum persists, it could set the stage for even higher price levels.  RSI And EMA Signals Defend XRP’s Bullish Thesis Supporting Dark Defender’s technical analysis and bullish scenario for the XRP price is a rising Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has broken above a descending trendline and continues to trend upward. This shift suggests that XRP is building momentum as buyers finally regain control.  Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Says XRP Is No Longer A Speculative Asset – Here’s What It Is Additionally, the analysis shows that price action remains above key Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), which are beginning to curl upward, signaling that the market trends could be turning in favor of the bulls. Although the Ichimoku Cloud technical indicator is not visible on the chart, Dark Defender notes that it is expected to flip bullish soon, further reinforcing XRP’s bullish thesis. Combined with the support held above the 200-day EMA, highlighted by the blue line on the chart, XRP appears to be entering a favorable technical zone. If price action aligns with the analyst’s projected setup and manages to hold candle closes above $2.33, it could mark the beginning of a stronger uptrend. Dark Defender also notes that “XRP’s slingshot pressure” is intensifying rapidly, further boosting the potential strength of the upcoming bullish wave.

The XRP price is reportedly positioning for a potential breakout as it forms a textbook Falling Wedge pattern, which a crypto analyst calls a perfect bullish setup. After a successful retest of a keg buy zone, technical indicators suggest that XRP is preparing for a powerful move toward the $3.7 level soon.   Falling Wedge Setup Signal XRP Price Breakout XRP is currently entering what Robert Mercer, a TradingView crypto analyst, describes as the perfect breakout setup following a prolonged period of consolidation. This technical structure suggests that XRP could potentially experience a sharp rally from its current price of $2.25 to the $3.70 level. Related Reading: XRP Price Remains Bullish Above $2, This Falling Channel Says $3.8 Is Coming Notably, on the 2-day XRP price chart, Mercer noted that the cryptocurrency has been consolidating within a Falling Wedge pattern since late December 2024. Since establishing a local bottom at $2.11 in the same timeframe, the altcoin has repeatedly tested this bottom level without breaking below it in a sustained manner.  The $2.11 price zone has also acted as a reliable horizontal support level throughout the six-month Falling Wedge formation. Meanwhile, XRP’s price action has been gradually compressing within the wedge pattern, indicating reduced volatility and increasing pressure near the wedge apex.  Looking at the TradingView analyst’s chart, it appears that XRP is now approaching the Falling Wedge resistance at the upper boundary, which coincides with the $2.45 level, where a buy retest has occurred. This convergence is viewed as a potential confirmation zone. If buying momentum continues and XRP closes decisively above $2.45, the breakout would confirm the end of the Falling Wedge and potentially initiate the cryptocurrency’s next upward move.  Mercer highlights that XRP’s current bullish structure is a simple yet perfect setup. And based on this setup, price targets above the wedge are projected in several stages, with $2.98, $3.36 and $3.71 serving as resistance levels based on historical price action and technical extensions. If the breakout holds and buying interest persists, the TradingView expert predicts that XRP may reach the $3.5 – $4 region over the next three to five months, aligning with past performances following similar wedge breakouts in the market.  $1.40 Breakdown Still In Play If Resistance Fails While XRP’s current structure supports a bullish outlook, Mercer‘s price chart shows that a failed breakout remains a possibility. If XRP is rejected again at the $2.45 resistance level, it could resume its consolidation within the Falling Wedge pattern. This would place downward pressure on the price and may lead to a retest of lower support zones.  Related Reading: Why A Sweep At $2 Is Important For XRP Price To Continue Rallying The most critical support level in this bearish scenario is located around $1.4. While this price level has not been tested directly in recent months, it marks the lower boundary of the Falling Wedge pattern. A breakdown below this level could invalidate the XRP’s wedge and bullish setup. It may also indicate a possible shift in market structure from consolidation to bearish continuation, which could result in further downside.
