The XRP price is turning bullish once again, with new technical analysis indicating that the altcoin could be on track for a fresh All-Time High (ATH). As the price moves toward breaking key resistance levels, analysts are calling for a potential surge above $4. Alongside this outlook, they have provided detailed trading guidance and identified the ideal timeframe for investors to consider taking profits. Master Ananda, a prominent TradingView analyst, has reported that XRP is currently showing strong technical signs of a bullish breakout that could lead to new all-time highs above $4.5. Despite experiencing a months-long downtrend, the cryptocurrency appears to be entering a powerful new growth phase that could bring its price significantly higher than previous ATH levels around $3.84. XRP Price Eyes Huge ATH Breakout Above $4.5 Notably, the TradingView analyst points to the bottom of a recent correction forming on April 7, with a peak established on May 12. This was followed by a 24-day retracement phase that ended on June 5, when XRP formed a higher low. Based on these price movements, Master Ananda notes that it’s been approximately 27 days since XRP last saw bullish price action, marking almost an entire month of consolidation. Related Reading: XRP Wave Structure Predicts Wild Fluctuations On Its Way To $4 ATH Nevertheless, the analyst highlights that the recent confirmation candle on June 8 supports the expectation that XRP is resuming its upward trajectory. The analyst’s chart illustrates a clear breakout from a descending trendline, followed by a shift into an ascending channel. This formation, paired with substantial volume activity and a bullish price structure, signals a possibly strong rally for XRP. Fibonacci levels drawn on the chart suggest that XRP could reach a near-term target of $4.5 (1.618 Fob) after surpassing upper resistance levels at $2.71 and $3.019. The chart also shows a potential for XRP to exceed this initial $4.5 level to reach $6.29 (2.618 Fib). Notably, Master Ananda predicts that XRP could reach a peak before most assets this cycle, as its bullish momentum had an early start with a historic run from $0.5 to slightly above $3 this year. The analyst also forecasts that once XRP reaches the top, a significant correction could follow, potentially marking the end of the current bullish setup. Analyst Unveils Trading Strategy And Take Profit Zone Beyond short-term price action, Master Ananda outlines a broader trading strategy focused on holding through the current growth wave. Rather than taking incremental profits around the $2.71 and $3.02 price highs, the analyst recommends that traders maintain a full position until XRP hits the $4.5 target and take-profit zone. Related Reading: Wave Structure Puts XRP Price In The $18.22-$23.20 Range In The Short Term This approach is designed to capture the maximum upside potential of this bullish cycle without diluting gains through early exits. Once XRP reaches this level, the analyst suggests taking profit partially—-not to exit entirely but to prepare capital for a potential redeployment during the next market retracement. Master Ananda also positions XRP as a lead indicator in what could be an extended altcoin bull market. A breakout above $4.5 will likely trigger explosive growth in lower-cap cryptocurrencies. While XRP is expected to generate up to 50% gains, these assets, according to the TradingView analyst, have the potential to yield returns of 150% in a single day.

XRP might be gearing up for a bullish run of epic proportions, accompanied by a similar crash of epic proportions. Particularly, a new technical analysis suggests that the XRP price may be preparing for one of its most explosive moves yet, followed by what the analyst calls a historic crash. This analysis comes amidst a backdrop of XRP reclaiming $2.2 in the past 24 hours, with the next outlook on reclaiming $2.3. Echoes of 2017: Hidden Bullish Divergence Reappears In a detailed breakdown shared on the social media platform X, crypto analyst JD (@jaydee_757) drew parallels between the current setup of XRP’s price action and its 2017–2018 market cycle. Back then, XRP printed a hidden bullish divergence (HBD) on the Stochastic RSI indicator, which acted as a powerful signal for an eventual 20x surge. According to the analyst, XRP appears to be repeating the same structural formation, with a new hidden bullish divergence now confirmed once again on the two-week timeframe. Related Reading: Analysts Are Predicting XRP Price To Climb Above $20 In Unexpected Rally As shown in the two-week candlestick timeframe chart below, XRP has already broken out from a multi-year symmetrical triangle dating back to its peak in 2018. This breakout, paired with the hidden bullish divergence, sets the stage for a biblical price move. JD projects an immediate upside continuation once the current smaller triangle consolidation pattern resolves to the upside. This parabolic upside continuation is likely to push XRP toward levels last seen during its all-time high. In this case, the analyst projected a price move above the double-digit threshold, with a target around $17. Post-Rally Warning: 90% Crash Projection Follows However, JD’s analysis is not without caution. Just as the 2017 rally ended in a dramatic 94% crash from $3.4 to the $0.2 range, the analyst warned that the anticipated surge could lead to a similar fate. This trajectory is illustrated clearly in the chart above. Related Reading: XRP Price Risks Crash Below $2 As Correction Takes Hold, Here’s Why After the anticipated euphoric move upward is complete, JD projects a sharp reversal toward a designated pink box area on the chart. This region, although not labeled with a specific price, lies well below current levels and may cause XRP to crash from double digits to below $1. Unfortunately, the majority of traders and investors could get rekt if they chase XRP near the peak. This follows similar behavior in 2018, where the parabolic rally was followed by an equally violent sell-off that trapped many traders at the top. As of now, XRP continues to coil within its consolidation triangle, and the breakout direction will likely determine the short-term fate of the cryptocurrency. XRP is currently trading at $2.28, up by 2.4% in the past 24 hours. A convincing break above the $3 mark would be necessary to invalidate the resistance of the current smaller triangle consolidation pattern and confirm the start of a parabolic move. Until then, there’s still a possibility that XRP will be rejected again at the triangle’s upper trendline. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP changed hands at roughly $2.30 in early European trading on Tuesday, extending a two-day bounce that has pulled the token back toward the upper half of the seven-month range that has confined it between about $2.00 and $2.80 since December. Analyst Quantum Ascend argues that this compression phase is now approaching a technical fulcrum that will determine whether the next move is an impulsive wave-three surge or one final wave-two washout. XRP Tightens Into Decision Zone In a video posted on 9 June, the trader noted that “we’ve been in this range… since early December… between like $2.80 and $2.00 just bouncing the whole time,” before zooming out to show what he calls the only Elliott-wave count that “makes sense”: a completed five-wave advance from last year’s lows followed by a five-wave corrective pull-back. “Right now we’re looking at a one-two-three-four-five on the way down… that’s the macro two… and now we’re waiting on three-four-five,” he said, adding that XRP still represents about 12.5% of his portfolio despite his tactical rotation into “alts with more gas left.” Quantum Ascend’s Fibonacci mapping reveals that the token has already retraced slightly more than 50% of its preceding leg higher—a textbook depth for a second-wave correction—and that the sell-off bottomed in the price region that coincided with the fourth wave of the prior move. “Makes sense, perfect spot for us to bounce,” he told viewers after plotting the swing low against the 0.5 Fib level. Related Reading: XRP Bull Trap Incoming? Analyst Sees $2.40 Fakeout Before Painful Crash Whether that bounce blossoms into a sustained breakout, he stressed, ultimately hinges on the market leader: “I think Bitcoin’s gonna make the decision for us,” he said, pointing out that XRP’s fate remains tightly coupled to any directional conviction in BTC. Bitcoin’s own advance toward key retracement resistance could, in his view, drag major altcoins—including XRP—into their respective inflection zones. The analyst now fixes on the 0.618–0.786 Fib band, which corresponds to $2.42–$2.52, as the “decision zone.” “There’s gonna be an area that we gotta be careful of… statistically it’s the area we’re most probable to roll over… between $2.42 and $2.52,” he warned, outlining the risk that XRP forms an A-B-C zig-zag and revisits lower supports before the larger impulsive leg begins. A rejection there would map onto the classical script of a complex second wave that fakes out early longs one final time before relinquishing control to bulls. Related Reading: XRP Price Remains Bullish Above $2, This Falling Channel Says $3.8 Is Coming Macro currents may soon add fuel. XRP’s next potential volatility catalyst is the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s 17 June deadline on Franklin Templeton’s spot-XRP exchange-traded fund proposal—a ruling some desks see as the token’s analogue to January’s Bitcoin ETF moment. While ETF speculation has helped price reclaim higher ground this month, XRP remains almost a dollar below its January all-time high of $3.40, leaving the $2.42–$2.52 pocket as the most technically significant hurdle in the short term. For now, traders will watch whether the current advance can print a daily close inside—or better, above—that corridor. A clean break would validate Quantum Ascend’s wave-three thesis and open the charts to measured moves targeting the mid-$3s. Failure, by contrast, risks a final capitulation toward the lower-$2 region before the larger bull structure can re-assert itself. Whatever the outcome, the analyst remains sanguine: “Whether it rolls over here one more time and we have to be patient or it just goes—that’s okay, because either way the end result is going to be the same.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.28.

The XRP price is holding strongly above $2, maintaining its momentum as technical indicators show signs of a bullish trend. Notably, a distinct Falling Channel on the XRP price chart suggests that a breakout could be brewing, with a potential rally toward $3.8 in sight. XRP Price Holds Steady As Bulls Target $3.8 A technical analysis by Rose Premium Signals reveals that XRP is currently flashing strong bullish signals following a breakout from a long-term Falling Channel. Earlier in January, XRP broke past $3 but experienced a strong correction that has kept its price down ever since. Despite the ongoing downtrend, XRP has been firmly holding above the $2 threshold as it prepares for new all-time highs. Related Reading: What Happens To The XRP Price If The 2017 Fractal Plays Out Again? Previously, XRP traded within a descending range for several months, forming lower highs and lower lows. However, recent price action has seemingly invalidated this downtrend structure with a decisive breakout above the upper boundary of the Falling Channel, indicating a potential trend reversal and the beginning of a bullish continuation. The chart shared by Rose Premium Signals on X (formerly Twitter) shows that after the breakout, XRP has been consolidating above the former resistance-turned-support zone, around the $2 level. The analyst confidently states that XRP’s outlook remains inherently bullish despite past downtrends, suggesting that the recent consolidation pattern indicates that bulls are still in control. Notably, the breakout above the Falling Channel is significant, as it typically implies a strong upside move, especially on higher time frames. Projected price targets based on technical formation are positioned at $2.9520, $3.3967, and $3.8767. Interestingly, the highest projected target exceeds XRP’s all-time high of $3.84 and reflects a 73.54% increase from current price levels. It’s important to note that these bullish targets forecasted by Rose Premium Signals align with historical resistance zones and measured moves from the Falling Channel breakout. If momentum sustains and market conditions remain favorable, XRP could rally toward these targets over the coming weeks, potentially offering significant upside for long-term holders and traders. Analyst Says Buy The Dip, With Ideal Entry At $1.85 While forecasting several optimistic targets for XRP, Rose Premium Signals emphasized a strategy of buying the altcoin during dips. This method aims to capitalize on low price points to maximize potential gains as XRP rebounds. Related Reading: Wave Count Analysis Reveals The XRP Price Trigger Point For Take-Off The analyst‘s chart highlights the $1.85 support level with a clear “Buy Here” label, suggesting that this level is considered an ideal entry point should the price revisit it. Currently, XRP is trading at $2.23, meaning a drop to $1.85 would represent a 17.04% decrease. According to the analysis, this support level also marks the base of the recent Falling Channel breakout, providing a favorable risk-reward setup for those looking to enter or expand their positions.

Pseudonymous analyst CryptoInsightUK has warned that the next major move for XRP could be a trap. In a video published on June 8, the analyst outlined a scenario where XRP surges toward $2.30–$2.40 in the short term—only to reverse violently into a sharp liquidity flush before any sustainable breakout occurs. XRP Bull Trap Looming? “I think XRP goes to sub-$2.0. I really do,” he said, adding: “It could come and sweep the highs here… could come up to like what, $2.30, and then push us down. That would be more pain for everyone, ‘cause everyone’s going to think we’re going to the upside.” The setup he describes is based on market structure and liquidity dynamics, particularly the buildup of resting orders beneath XRP’s current range. “This here is a concern, a real concern for me,” he said, referring to the growing pool of liquidity below current prices. According to his internal models, such liquidity zones are statistically touched “80% of the time.” Related Reading: XRP Must Crash First—Then Comes The $10 Rally, Says Analyst “Someone’s trying to trick someone here,” he warned. “I’m cautious.” Despite his near-total XRP allocation—he states he’s “95%+, probably more like 98%” positioned in XRP—CryptoInsightUK emphasized that he’s not rooting for a correction. “I don’t want it to come down,” he said. “I’m just showing you what I see.” The analyst proposed multiple structural paths: one in which XRP immediately breaks out, and another where it briefly rallies to sweep local highs before flushing downward to form a bullish divergence. “We’re in a range right now,” he said. “Do we come up, sweep the highs, then take the lows and go?” He elaborated on the bullish divergence pattern he is watching, where price forms a lower low while the RSI (Relative Strength Index) prints a higher low—a setup he uses to identify bottoming structures. “That’s what I would like to see,” he explained. Broader Macro Conditions Still Supportive Despite the bearish tactical setup, the video struck an upbeat macro tone. Will cited four near-term catalysts: the Genius Act on stablecoin oversight, the imminent filing deadline in the SEC’s remedies phase against Ripple, the July decision window for a spot-XRP ETF proposal, and a renewed expectation of accommodative fiscal policy sparked by last week’s televised Trump-Musk dialogue. “What this really tells us is there’s going to be money printing,” he argued. “Assets all over are going to explode to the upside and, for the other specific reasons, XRP probably does even better.” Turning to Bitcoin, the analyst observed an ongoing decline in trading volume, suggesting indecision or exhaustion. “There’s been no volume. There’s been nothing,” he said of recent BTC price action. Related Reading: XRP Wave Structure Predicts Wild Fluctuations On Its Way To $4 ATH He highlighted a CME futures gap around $92,000–$93,000 and added that fixed range volume analysis points to a possible pullback zone at $96,000–$97,000. “It’s probably coming imminently, maybe this week,” he said of a potential correction, projecting a scenario where BTC dips into this range before resuming its upward trajectory. “Does this mean we squeeze to the upside or come down and take this low and put in that bullish divergence structure?” he asked, noting a similar divergence setup at $75,000 earlier this year. XRP Spot Activity Raises Red Flags In the final hour before the video, XRP had “squeezed up with some volume,” but the analyst urged caution. While open interest had risen sharply, funding remained green—suggesting net long positioning—and aggregate premium had turned red. “This indicates to me that even though there are still some shorts coming in, more longs than shorts have entered,” he said. He warned that this imbalance could cause a sharp move lower if the market fails to hold current levels. “If we do now come down and lose this low, expect a more aggressive, faster move to the downside,” he said, pointing to the risk of liquidating leveraged positions. XRP’s relative performance against ETH and BTC also came under review. While it had begun testing resistance zones, neither the XRP/ETH nor the XRP/BTC charts had decisively broken out. “We could still be in this range chopping about,” he cautioned. “Could lose strength until we start to see some confirmations to the upside.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.23.

Crypto Insight UK has doubled down on a forecast that XRP must endure one last, violent shakeout before launching toward a long-awaited $10 milestone. In his latest video, the British analyst warned that “the most dense liquidity I’ve seen in a long time for XRP” still sits uncollected beneath current spot prices. Until that pool is swept, he argues, the market will not unlock the upside move he ultimately expects to carry the token into double-digit territory. XRP Needs One Last Flush “XRP didn’t come down as low as we wanted,” he told viewers. “It did hit the first key area of liquidity, but it didn’t take it all. That makes me think we’ve got continued downside.” In his own trading plan, the analyst has resting bids at roughly $2.01 and $1.95—a zone he believes will be tested once leveraged longs capitulate. Only after that “final flush,” he contends, can a rally toward $10 begin in earnest. The call comes amid broader cross-asset strength that has so far failed to translate into a sustained altcoin breakout. Silver is challenging decade-old highs near $36 an ounce, uranium contracts are pressing their recent peaks, and the Nasdaq Composite remains within sight of its all-time high. Yet despite what he calls “a broad-based commodities rally,” the analyst maintains that crypto still needs one more washout to clear residual excess. Related Reading: What Happens To The XRP Price If The 2017 Fractal Plays Out Again? Macro-political drama, he suggests, is only accelerating that process. He cited the public clash between Elon Musk and US president Donald Trump—sparked by Trump’s proposal for a four-trillion-dollar spending bill and Musk’s claim that Trump’s name appears in sealed Epstein files—as a narrative that briefly rattled risk markets. “If it brings the price to where I want it to go, fantastic,” he said dryly. “That’s all we’re looking at here.” On Ethereum he sees a similar dynamic. Open interest in ETH futures remains at all-time highs, a sign in his view that institutions are accumulating spot while shorting derivatives to hedge—a trade that could unwind violently should ETH pierce the $2,800 level. “When we get this squeeze to the upside,” he predicted, “we’ll see a fast move back toward all-time highs for ETH, probably toward $4,500 before you know it.” Related Reading: The Worst Case For XRP This Cycle? Just A Giga Rally To $19, Says Analyst Bitcoin, for its part, has already waded into the analyst’s preferred liquidity zone just above $100,000. Whether the flagship asset needs another dip, he said, is less important than what happens to its dominance. A brief surge in bitcoin market share toward 65.5% would, in his model, coincide with an XRP capitulation and set the stage for “crazy season,” his shorthand for a full-blown altcoin cycle. The hinge is XRP liquidity. Viewers were shown heat-map snapshots highlighting concentrated stop-loss orders beneath the May swing low. “People came long here after they thought, ‘Oh, the bottom’s in.’ That’s added to this liquidity below us,” he said. Until that layer is removed, he remains “80% sure” that price will probe lower—even though his own portfolio is almost entirely in spot XRP. “I’m on the side of wanting it to go,” he acknowledged. “If it goes up now, I’m happy. But I’d be highly surprised if we don’t get that push down.” Still, his end-point is unequivocally bullish. Once the liquidity has been harvested, he foresees a textbook bullish divergence on the daily relative-strength index—“lower low on price, higher low on RSI”—that would ignite what he calls the “next big push.” In that scenario, XRP would not merely revisit its 2021 peak near $3.80; it would overshoot to the analyst’s long-standing $10 target. “Let it send,” he concluded. At press time, XRP traded at $2.17. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
The XRP price action is drawing significant attention, as analysts highlight a distinct wave structure suggesting increased volatility ahead. According to technical patterns on the XRP chart, the cryptocurrency could soon face wild fluctuations on its potential path to retesting its all-time high and aiming for the $4 mark. XRP Wave Map Lays Out Path To A New ATH The XRP price is currently trading at $2.13 after enduring a months-long downtrend that has prevented any upward movement toward revisiting all-time highs. However, despite these momentum struggles, a certified crypto and Elliott Wave analyst, XForceGlobal, has boldly predicted on X (formerly Twitter) that XRP is on a clear path toward a $4 all-time high. Related Reading: XRP Price Could Hit $21 This Bull Cycle With 1.618 Fib Level As Next Target The analyst shared a detailed Elliott Wave chart of XRP, suggesting that while the digital asset is poised for a new ATH, it is also set to face significant volatility on its way to this price high. The chart illustrates a well-defined pattern of corrective and impulsive wave structures that signal both short-term turbulence and long-term bullish potential for XRP. XForceGlobal’s chart analysis begins by identifying a major correction that unfolded from XRP’s high in January through a low in April. This move is labeled with a complex wave formation, especially a double zigzag (W-X-Y), showing strong symmetry across multiple degrees of wave structures. Interestingly, the analyst notes that the precision of these wave structures aligns almost perfectly with classic Fibonacci extension levels on the way down, including the 61.8% and 100% retracements. This indicates that the corrective cycle followed a technically sound and predictable path, leading to the conclusion that the worst of the downtrend may be over, and XRP could be entering a new wave sequence with bullish implications. The chart analysis also highlights a critical accumulation zone marked between $1.84 and $2.25. This range coincides with Fibonacci Retracement thresholds and represents a crucial decision point in XRP’s price structure. Recently, XRP dipped into this zone and appears to be bouncing off it, potentially setting the stage for the next impulsive wave higher. Based on this setup, XForceGlobal forecasts an initial rally toward the $3.20 and $3.80 zone, followed by a short-term correction and then an eventual push toward a fresh ATH near $4 or higher. Analyst Predicts XRP Price In Next 3-6 Months A crypto market expert identified as ‘Steph is Crypto’ on X has declared that an XRP price explosion is imminent. The analyst shared a chart, predicting that the cryptocurrency could soon skyrocket to a jaw-dropping all-time high of $50. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says XRP Community Should Pay Attention To June 4-6, Here’s Why Notably, the chart indicates that this bullish projection will only occur after XRP crosses the $2.5 resistance threshold. From there, the path could see a steady ascent through $5, $10, and even $22, ultimately aiming for the ambitious $50 milestone. What’s even more striking is the timeline of this bullish forecast—— Steph predicts that XRP could achieve a $50 valuation within just 3 to 6 months. If realized, this would amount to an astonishing 2,280% increase from the current price of nearly $2.1 before the end of the year. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
The XRP price has now moved back into bearish territory after a remarkable run on the daily chart that had been signaling possible bullish momentum. Crypto analyst Master Ananda points this out in a post that shows a disturbing trend in the XRP price chart. If this continues, then the future of XRP, at least in the short term, has become even more uncertain, with bears fighting for more control. 4 Green Daily Closes Fall to Nothing After suffering a crash along with the rest of the crypto market, the XRP price had faced a recovery that seemed to have put it right back on track to rally again. This saw the first green daily close on the last day of May and then carried on into the new month of June. The first three days also closed in the green, leading to four consecutive daily green closes, which is usually bullish for the price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Crash Below $100,000 Still Possible: Analysts Issue Downtrend Warnings However, there was just another part of the trend that was not completed to show that this was a bullish move, and it has to do with volume. As Master Ananda pointed out, a spike in volume was expected as the XRP price put in a higher low. This would mean there is the momentum needed to push the price back up. But this was not the case as the volume plummeted and remained muted. The absence of this expected volume suggests there is weakness surrounding the XRP price, and this played out as the next day saw a red close for the altcoin for the first time in June. If this lack of momentum continues, then the price could continue to plummet. So far, there is now resistance mounting at the 0.382 Fibonacci level, which is $2.2959. This resistance would need to be cleared with a spike in volume if there is to be a recovery in the XRP price. Otherwise, it risks a fall back down to the 0.236 Fibonacci level, meaning the first steps toward falling below $2. Related Reading: XRP Price Could Hit $21 This Bull Cycle With 1.618 Fib Level As Next Target XRP Price Could Fall As Volumes Suffer Data from Coinglass shows how bad the XRP volume has been recently. So far in June, daily volume has remained well below $5 billion, reminiscent of the bear market figures whenever the price was falling. This also shows reduced participation from investors who are wary of entering the market during such conditions. Interestingly, though, open interest remains rather high, $3.94 billion, showing that crypto traders are actively betting on the XRP price. However, the majority are betting that the XRP price will continue to fall from here, with Coinglass data showing 52.75% of all positions being short compared to only 47.25% betting the price will increase.

A provocative claim by crypto researcher “Darkhorse” has reignited debate over whether Ripple Labs is quietly sidestepping a federal court injunction through a newly disclosed $300 million XRP treasury vehicle involving Asia-based mobility firm Webus International Ltd. “This new treasury setup allows @Ripple to bypass the injunction legally and cleanly,” Darkhorse declared in a post on X dated June 4. He contends that Ripple has found “the only route left by the Judge” by using an institutional structure that moves XRP through regulated intermediaries instead of selling it directly to investors. “It’s not just clever,” he wrote. “It’s compliant by design.” The setup in question was revealed in a recent Form 6-K filing by Webus, which outlined the creation of an XRP Treasury to be managed by Samara Alpha, an SEC-registered investment adviser. The program delegates full control of up to $300 million in XRP to Samara under a phased, regulated structure. While the filing stops short of stating where the XRP will come from, Darkhorse argues the intent is clear: Ripple can legally sell XRP to an SEC-facing intermediary like Samara, which then allocates it to a corporate client like Webus — all without violating the standing injunction. Related Reading: The Worst Case For XRP This Cycle? Just A Giga Rally To $19, Says Analyst “Ripple is enjoined from direct institutional sales without SEC clearance,” Darkhorse explained. “The workaround? Sell to regulated intermediaries (like Samara on behalf of Webus) with treasury agreements that are SEC-transparent and non-retail facing. It’s structured — not casual.” Is Ripple Bypassing The XRP Injunction? Veteran XRP commentator Jay Nisbett pushed back. “I just don’t see any of this as clever or bypassing anything — it’s just adoption,” he replied. Nisbett asserted that Ripple and Webus are not partners, that Webus is simply acquiring XRP like any other participant on the secondary market, and that the asset itself “has been ruled to be not a security in this context.” He added that holding XRP on a balance sheet isn’t the same as triggering a securities transaction. Darkhorse issued a sharp rebuttal. “You’re missing the mechanism,” he told Nisbett, laying out his argument in four parts. First, he emphasized that Webus did not just announce an intent to buy on the open market. “Webus filed via Form 6-K to publicly document a $300M XRP Treasury but not to simply buy on open markets. They delegated management to ‘Samara Alpha,’ an SEC-registered investment adviser, under a phased, regulated structure.” Related Reading: XRP Price Could Hit $21 This Bull Cycle With 1.618 Fib Level As Next Target Second, he argued that the core issue is Ripple’s inability to sell directly to institutions, which is where the intermediary comes in. “This structure is about creating compliant distance,” he wrote. “It’s not Ripple handing XRP to an investor — it’s routing via an SEC-registered manager who takes custody and executes under regulatory supervision.” Third, Darkhorse disputed Nisbett’s assertion that there’s no relationship between Ripple and Webus. “Check RippleNet corridors and prior Asia-Pacific mobility pilot cases,” he wrote. “Their ties to Ripple’s network and XRPL liquidity routes go back years. Just because it wasn’t front-page news doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.” Finally, he challenged the notion that Webus’s XRP holdings are merely passive. “ ‘Just holding on balance sheet’ is not automatic exemption,” he argued. “This is treasury deployment, not idle custody. The fact that Webus structured this through a delegated SEC-facing manager says they do consider XRP institutional risk a legal factor.” He concluded bluntly: “This isn’t Ripple dumping tokens on exchanges. It’s creating institutional conduits that comply while navigating around the injunction bottleneck.” Despite the detailed structure and SEC-facing components, Nisbett remained unmoved. “No I get what you’re saying… I just disagree in that mechanism being an unexpected event,” he wrote. “It’s just a natural maturation of the market and the market reacting to legislation hurdles as the market always has and will.” With Ripple still bound by Judge Torres’s 2024 permanent injunction — which prohibits direct institutional XRP sales unless registered — the debate hinges on whether the Webus structure constitutes indirect circumvention or lawful evolution. The SEC has yet to comment, and the court recently denied the parties’ request to vacate the injunction, calling it “procedurally improper.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.1989.

XRP’s price action is currently exhibiting a back-and-forth pattern around $2.20, but an interesting technical analysis suggests it may soon leave this price level. A chart analysis posted by a crypto analyst on the social media platform X has given an interesting projection about XRP’s next move. By overlaying XRP’s current weekly chart with its explosive 2017 fractal, the analyst hints that the altcoin might be on the verge of a repeat performance that sends it far beyond its current price range. 2017 XRP Fractal Overlaid Technical analysis of XRP price action on the weekly timeframe reveals an interesting pattern that has been unfolding over multiple weeks. This interesting pattern began with the intense XRP price rally in Q4 2024, which eventually ended in a consolidation around $2, as seen in the current price action. This, in turn, has led to the formation of a flag pattern that is still playing out. Related Reading: Analyst Shows 3-Cycle Ride For XRP Price To Reach $46 The core of the analyst’s technical analysis lies in the uncanny resemblance between XRP’s present market structure and the bullish pattern that preceded the historic 2017 rally. As such, the analyst overlaid the 2017 fractal onto the current price action, revealing a formation that mirrors a giant bull flag, which is often interpreted as a technical continuation pattern. The analysis also places into focus XRP’s ongoing interaction with the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) on the weekly candlestick timeframe. Back in 2017, this level acted as a support base for XRP’s vertical breakout. Now, the current pattern shows the cryptocurrency is once again consolidating directly above this moving average, which the analyst describes as the foundation of a giga bull flag. The resemblance doesn’t stop at price structure. The analyst also draws attention to the RSI behavior. Back in 2017, the RSI entered a flat compressed zone between two spikes on the weekly timeframe, a pattern that appears to be repeating today. The first RSI peak has already formed, and the current flattening phase suggests a possible second spike may soon follow, which could correlate with a breakout in price if the fractal stays valid. What To Expect If 2017 Fractal Plays Out Again? The implications are exciting if XRP follows the same trajectory as it did in 2017. The overlay suggests a price rally beyond $20, which would represent the biggest rally so far in XRP’s price history. The projected move would take XRP far beyond its 2018 all-time high of $3.40 and establish a new price floor above double digits for the cryptocurrency. This projection aligns with other projections in similar technical analyses from other cryptocurrency analysts.

Whether or not XRP follows the 2017 pattern exactly remains to be seen, but the similarities in price behavior, RSI compression, and EMA support are difficult to dismiss.

According to expert analysts, the XRP price is showing renewed bullish momentum, with projections suggesting a potential rally to the 1.618 Fib at $21 this bull cycle. While this projection may seem ambitious, the analyst’s bullish outlook doesn’t stop there. Once XRP hits $21, it is expected to continue its upward trajectory toward its next target of $152. XRP Price Eyes Powerful Breakout To New Targets A recent technical analysis of XRP’s long-term price chart is igniting significant buzz in the crypto community, as the altcoin appears to be forming a familiar pattern that previously led to exponential gains. The chart, published by a well-known crypto expert, Javon Marks, suggests that XRP could be on the brink of a powerful price breakout, with expectations pointing toward the $21 price level and beyond. Related Reading: Wave Structure Puts XRP Price In The $18.22-$23.20 Range In The Short Term Marks’ analysis identifies two major symmetrical triangle formations in XRP’s price history—one that preceded its explosive rally in 2017 and another that concluded with a fresh breakout in 2024. In the earlier cycle, XRP surged thousands of percent after breaking out of its consolidation pattern, topping near the 2.272 Fibonacci level. This historical price movement is now being used to forecast what could come next for the altcoin. According to the chart, XRP recently rose to the 1.0 Fibonacci level near $3.31 but retraced back toward $2. If the current cycle mirrors the previous one, Marks predicts that the next significant level of interest lies at the 1.618 Fibonacci Extension level, which aligns with the $21 price target. Notably, a surge to this double-digit territory would represent an over 800% increase from current levels around $2.23. However, Marks’ optimistic projection does not stop there. Should XRP replicate the full extension it made in the past, the price is forecasted to reach the 2.272 Fibonacci level once again, this time sitting around a jaw-dropping $152. While this forecast may seem over the top, the analyst has shown strong confidence in XRP’s future price outlook, utilizing past price action as a blueprint and technical indicator to determine the altcoin’s upside potential. Analyst’s XRP Forecast Met With Skepticism On one hand, Marks’ bullish XRP price forecast was met with excitement, and on the other, the majority of crypto community members expressed doubts about the overly ambitious targets. The projection of a move to $21 and possibly even higher to $152 has been met with caution and skepticism among community members. Related Reading: Bullish Candle Formation Suggests The XRP Price Could Touch $22 While historical patterns can provide a roadmap to a potential price rally, critics responding to Marks’ analysis argue that reaching the triple-digit territory is virtually impossible for XRP currently. One member suggested that a more realistic target for the altcoin was between $13 and $20. Others questioned the feasibility of hitting these bullish targets within the proposed timeline, debating whether it could happen by the end of 2025 or even Q1 2026.

XRP’s weekly structure has seldom looked as compressed as it does in the chart published this morning by independent analyst Maelius. The view pulls data from the BITSTAMP feed and applies a 50-period exponential moving average (EMA) in blue, currently tracking at roughly $1.78. This XRP Chart Screams 2017 Price is perched above that dynamic support zone at $2.25, adding 3.33% so far in the present weekly candle, and has spent the past four months knitting out what the analyst calls a “giga bull flag.” The flag is defined by a sequence of progressively lower weekly highs that stop just short of the $3.40 line and higher swing-lows that bottom near $1.61, creating a converging wedge whose lower edge and the rising EMA50 now coincide. Maelius overlays the 2017 XRP advance—scaled to the current log axis—to illustrate why the pattern matters. In the previous cycle the token erupted vertically once the flag was resolved, blasting from sub-dollar prices to a peak above $3.00 in a matter of weeks. Related Reading: XRP Sell-Off Rumors Swirl After Expert Questions Ripple’s War Chest The black schematic sketched on the right-hand margin recreates that move and projects it forward: once consolidation ends, the fractal implies a breakout first through the $4 shelf and ultimately into the double-digit territory. The label “XRP 2017” is pinned to the $19 mark, the level where the composite trace tops out on this overlay. Momentum data beneath the chart reinforce the comparison. The weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) printed two pronounced peaks in the 2017 run, separated by a flat plateau; Maelius has marked those crests “1” and “2” on both the historical section and the current range. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says XRP Community Should Pay Attention To June 4-6, Here’s Why The first modern-cycle surge sent RSI briefly into the high-80s earlier this year and has since cooled back toward the mid-40s, a zone the analyst shades “FLAT.” An arrow then extends toward the mid-90s, signalling that Maelius expects at least one more momentum pulse before the structure is exhausted. From a purely technical perspective the most immediate levels to watch are the upper flag boundary near $2.50 and the EMA-anchored support around $1.80. A weekly close above the former would complete the flag and open the way to the $4.40 and $6.00 horizontals visible on the price scale, while a decisive break below $1.80 would invalidate the pattern and leave the market leaning on the $1.30 cluster where the EMA turned higher last year. Crucially, the analyst frames his outlook in risk-aware terms: even the “worst-case” scenario he sketches still includes one final impulse wave. “Worst case is there is only 1 impulse left. Bearish, right?!” he writes. As always, traders will be looking for confirmation from volume and broader market sentiment before treating the fractal as more than an instructive historical rhyme, but the chart makes clear that a single weekly candle settling above the $2.50 handle could be all it takes to remind participants of how quickly XRP has moved in the past. At press time, XRP traded at $2.23. Featured image created with DALLE, chart from TradingView.com
XRP’s price is now looking to break above $2.20 again after inching a few moves upwards in the past 24 hours. Notably, the cryptocurrency’s price action has seen a volatile movement over the past week. After briefly rallying above $2.65 earlier in May, XRP failed to sustain its momentum, instead trending downwards until it rebounded at $2.10 on the last day of May. Amid this backdrop of price action, there have been discussions around the timing for the next major price movement for XRP. A fresh outlook by a crypto analyst suggests XRP investors should pay attention to June 3 to June 6. Crypto Analyst Predicts Timeline For XRP Bottom And Breakout A crypto analyst known pseudonymously as WatersAbove has drawn attention to specific calendar dates that could play important roles in XRP’s short-term and long-term price trajectories. Taking to the social media platform X to share his outlook, the analyst suggested that June 4th to 6th could mark the bottom for XRP before there is any significant upside. Related Reading: Wave Count Analysis Reveals The XRP Price Trigger Point For Take-Off However, aside from this bottom, what’s more important is the potential price manipulation that could take place within this period. According to the crypto analyst, this particular window between June 3 and June 6 will likely be characterized by market manipulation, as larger players may be attempting to shake out weak hands ahead of a more decisive rally. “In the meantime, watch out for this week ahead,” the analyst said. Although WatersAbove did not accompany the prediction with any technical chart, the confidence in his tone resonates among XRP investors who are closely watching these dates for signals of a bottom, as shown in the post’s comments. Straight Line Breakout To $10 For XRP What made the analyst’s prediction even more interesting was the projected price target and timing after the manipulation is over. According to the analyst, XRP could be on a straight-line trajectory to $10 by late July or early August, nearly a 5x move from current levels. This kind of breakout, if it occurs, would mirror XRP’s explosive run in Q4 2024 and also back in 2018. However, this time would require much more inflows that can be gotten from institutional backing. Related Reading: XRP Price Consolidates In Tight Bullish Compression Pattern, Why $5 Is Possible Interestingly, the analyst’s prediction is that the rally will start sometime around June 18 in a straight-line breakout manner. Although the prediction is bold, it’s not the first time such a target has been floated by long-time XRP supporters. According to a similar analysis by EGRAG CRYPTO, XRP is on the verge of a breakout to double digits in the coming months. Crypto analyst Dark Defender also highlighted a new wave structure that could send the XRP price towards the $18.22 to $23.20 price range in the short term. On the other hand, crypto analysts like Dr Cat (@DoctorCatX) are less bullish. Notably, the analyst’s technical analysis suggests that any bull run for XRP might be delayed until November 2025. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.20, up by 1.63% in the past 24 hours. A surge to the analyst’s $10 price target would translate to a 350% increase from the current price.

CoinRoutes chief executive Dave Weisberger detonated a fresh round of anxiety in the XRP market on Monday when he asked, on Scott Melker’s podcast, whether Ripple Labs could finance a takeover of Circle “for $10 to $20 billion” without off-loading roughly $10 billion in XRP. “Who’s going to buy the $10 billion worth of XRP they would need to sell out of their treasury?” Weisberger said, warning that a sudden supply surge could overwhelm order books and “hammer the price.” Is A XRP Sell-Off Conceivable? Within hours, pro-XRP attorney Fred Rispoli fired back on X. “I love @daveweisberger1, but on this point he is mcgloning so hard,” he wrote, invoking Bloomberg strategist Mike McGlone’s reputation for bearish hyperbole. “Just based on what I’m getting offered for my Ripple shares on the secondary market, I don’t think Ripple would even have to sell one XRP to buy Circle.” Rispoli agreed that Ripple cannot raise $10 billion in pure cash, yet insisted the company could “easily afford the acquisition for a mix of cash and debt” and a heavy equity-swap. Related Reading: $3 XRP Dream Delayed—No Bull Run Before November, Says Top Analyst When Weisberger replied that Circle’s board would likely demand hard dollars unless it accepted Ripple equity or XRP “without a haircut,” Rispoli dug in. “No way to get $10B in cash—and $10B is too high anyway,” he wrote, citing late-2024 private-research valuations that placed Ripple at $15 billion excluding its ~36 billion escrowed XRP. If Circle’s price tag fell to $7–9 billion, he said, Ripple could close with “$1–3 billion cash on hand, a heavy stock exchange, and debt,” especially with “all that GCC money sloshing around crypto world right now.” Rispoli conceded it would be “a reach” but “doable without meaningfully selling XRP.” Weisberger acknowledged the math—“That’s a reasonable analysis,” he wrote—yet cautioned that any price at the upper end of Rispoli’s range “could be some short-term pain for us XRP holders.” Ripple’s tender-offer buyback in January 2024 valued the company at $11.3 billion, disclosing more than $1 billion in cash and about $25 billion in digital assets—mostly XRP—on its books. The firm still controls roughly 52 billion XRP (about 40 percent of supply), though 36 billion sit in timed escrow releases, limiting immediate access. At today’s $2.20 spot price, the spendable portion is worth a little under $35 billion, but moving even a fraction quickly would collide with thin venue depth—a point Weisberger hammered home. Related Reading: Wave Count Analysis Reveals The XRP Price Trigger Point For Take-Off Ripple’s cash pile also shrank after its $1.25 billion purchase of prime broker Hidden Road in April, a deal settled with a blend of cash, equity and RLUSD stablecoins. That acquisition suggests the company prefers hybrid structures, bolstering Rispoli’s claim that Treasury XRP need not flood the market. Is Circle Even For Sale? The debate may be academic. Circle, issuer of USDC, has repeatedly declared it “not for sale” while marching toward a New York Stock Exchange listing that now targets a $7.2 billion valuation. Ripple’s rumored approach earlier this spring reportedly topped $5 billion, well below Weisberger’s stress case and within Rispoli’s “doable” band, but Circle rebuffed the talks and updated its S-1 two weeks later, enlarging the float rather than seeking a buyer. Strategically, Ripple already fields its own dollar-token RLUSD, launched in January and positioned by president Monica Long as “complementary to XRP, not a competitor.” Absorbing USDC’s issuer would instantly rocket Ripple towards the size of Tether. Even under Rispoli’s optimistic structure, Ripple might still need to liquidate several hundred million dollars’ worth of XRP for working capital and closing costs. At current volumes, unloading just 500 million XRP (≈ $1.1 billion) would equal half a week of global turnover—enough to distort price unless executed as private blocks. At press time, XRP traded at $2.19. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
The XRP price may be on the verge of a significant breakout, according to a new wave count analysis combining the Elliott Wave Theory and the Wyckoff reaccumulation principles. After months of sideways trading and corrective movement, analysts have pinpointed a critical price level that could serve as a trigger point for XRP’s next leg higher. XRP Price Primed For Major Lift-Off From This Level A new analysis published by crypto analyst the ‘Charting Prodigy’ on X (formerly Twitter) suggests that the XRP price is following a clear Elliott Wave structure that began forming after the April lows this year. The price has completed Wave 1 of a new impulse cycle, followed by a WXY corrective Wave 2. Related Reading: XRP Price Risks Crash Below $2 As Correction Takes Hold, Here’s Why Recent price action also indicates that XRP is now entering sub-wave 3 of Macro Wave 5, which is typically the most powerful and extended wave in the cycle. The standout detail of Charting Prodigy’s analysis is the identified trigger level at $2.56. According to the expert’s analysis, a confirmed breakout above this critical trigger point could signal the start of a rapid markup phase, potentially propelling XRP toward the $2.9 to $3.4 range. The significance of this bullish target is supported by not only the Elliott Wave analysis but also the Wyckoff reaccumulation, Fibonacci extension targets, and the emergence of a bullish divergence forming on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Notably, the analyst points to a classic Wyckoff accumulation structure taking shape on the XRP price chart. He identified key phases such as Preliminary Support (PSY), Automatic Rally (AR), and Secondary Test (ST). The structure also included a “spring” phase and, most recently, a Last Point of Support (LPS). The emergence of these Wyckoff elements suggests that XRP has completed its reaccumulation and has entered the aforementioned markup phase, where price tends to go parabolic. The combination of these technical indicators and chart patterns also indicates that $2.65 is the level to watch as XRP makes its way up to price levels close to its former ATH. XRP Set For Double-Digit Target In 2 Weeks According to a new chart analysis by crypto analyst Egrag Crypto, XRP may be on the verge of a historic breakout. Presenting a 2-week price chart, the analyst highlights a macro bullish formation that could push XRP into double-digit territory—targeting $10, $18, $27, and even a whopping $55 in the months ahead. Related Reading: XRP Holds Midline Support That Has Led To Breakout In The Past, Why $2.9 Could Be Next Egrag Crypto’s chart draws attention to a long-standing macro ascending channel that XRP has respected since 2016. Past breakouts from similar setups have historically delivered exponential gains for the cryptocurrency. The key trigger, according to the analysis, is a decisive move above the 21-week timeframe. This same signal preceded XRP’s explosive rally in 2017 when it surged from under 1 cent to an all-time high of $3.84. Notably, the analysis emphasizes the importance of remaining within this macro ascending channel, indicating that as long as the lower trendline holds and the 21 EMA is breached, XRP’s bullish case remains intact.

The daily XRP chart has slipped back into a state of suspended animation just when bulls needed decisive follow-through, according to the Ichimoku-centric assessment shared by crypto strategist Dr Cat (@DoctorCatX). “I would be surprised to see $3, let alone ATH in June,” the analyst wrote after posting the chart, lamenting that “the window of opportunity was missed” for both the dollar and Bitcoin pairs. XRP Bulls Miss Their Shot The chart Dr Cat circulated shows XRP-USD grinding along the lower edge of the kumo around $2.14 after a failed attempt to reclaim the flat Kijun-sen that has flattened near $2.35. Price action pierced the cloud top in early May on robust volume, but follow-through stalled and the token has now printed two consecutive closes back inside the cloud. The Tenkan-sen has curled beneath the Kijun-sen, signalling waning short-term momentum, while the Chikou span (lagging line) is trapped in overlapping candles—classic signs of neutrality rather than outright weakness, yet miles away from the bullish alignment required for an explosive trend. Dr Cat argues that Ichimoku bull markets do not emerge spontaneously; they “take a lot of time and effort,” typically at least one full 26-period rotation, to rebuild after a failed attack. “If the window of opportunity is missed and these conditions are not utilized, it’s not a good sign,” he cautioned, adding that the most optimistic scenario now implies “at least 1 standard 26-candles cycle to retry.” On a daily chart that translates to roughly a month, leaving any breakout attempt realistically postponed to July or August and, if momentum continues to lag, potentially November. Related Reading: XRP Multi-Timeframe Breakdown: Here’s What Comes Next Lower-timeframe data paint a harsher picture. The analyst points to “consistent selling pressure on lower medium timeframes without any sign of strength,” noting that XRP/BTC has sunk to the 2041-satoshi monthly support and is failing to bounce. The 2041 level—the exact value where the cloud thins dramatically later in the year—has become the fulcrum for Dr Cat’s broader thesis: if it holds through summer, the token could launch a thinner-cloud break in November when “the XRPBTC kumo is very thin and easy to break.” The medium-term stakes are clear on the weekly template, where Dr Cat says “there is nothing bullish.” The weekly kumo is widening in front of price, while the Tenkan-Kijun bear cross remains unresolved. Because trend-following traders typically want to see candle bodies and the Chikou span clear both the cloud and historical price structure, the current setup offers few immediate catalysts. Even so, the monthly view retains a more constructive look on the USD pair—a reminder that secular strength is not altogether lost, merely dormant. In the near term, the analyst sees a real danger of cascading toward $1.89, a price zone that coincides with the flat bottom of April’s cloud twist and a visible shelf of historical volume accumulation. Should that level give way, the chart offers scant support until the $1.70 region where the March spike tail began. Related Reading: XRP Set To Explode—But Only After This Plunge, Analyst Says Despite the downbeat tone Dr Cat stops short of declaring a bear market. “The good news is that 3D is still NOT ready to trend bearish at all on the USD pair,” he wrote, underscoring that closing prices have not yet delivered a decisive shift below the three-day Kijun-sen. If the token can hold cloud support into July, another push toward the upper cloud boundary near $2.40 could materialise. Only a clean break above that level, accompanied by a bullish Tenkan-Kijun cross and a Chikou span that punches above historical price, would force a reassessment of the $3 ceiling before year-end. For now, however, the roadmap remains one of patience. “All in all, my most bullish case expectation for June is neutral price action below ATH,” Dr Cat reiterated, positioning November—when the cloud on the XRP/BTC pair narrows to its thinnest width in years—as the next credible launch window. Until then, traders eyeing a resurgence must watch that 2041-satoshi floor and be prepared for several more weeks of sideways drift—or a sudden downside probe toward $1.89—before the larger trend declares its verdict. At press time, XRP traded at $2.17. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
XRP is once again under the spotlight as its price action shows signs of weakening across multiple timeframes. After a brief period of relative stability, recent breakdowns on the daily and intraday charts suggest a shift in market momentum that traders can’t ignore. As bearish pressure mounts and critical support levels begin to falter, XRP’s next move has become a major topic – will it find its footing soon, or is a deeper correction on the horizon? The XRP Key Bullish Divergence In an X update, prominent crypto analyst Gowanus Monster highlighted a critical technical development for XRP. According to his analysis, the token has completed a bearish Descending Triangle formation across multiple timeframes, a classic pattern that often signals continuation to the downside. Based on the measured move from this structure, the projected target is around $1.90, suggesting a potentially significant retracement if bearish momentum continues to build. Related Reading: XRP Price Slips Again — Is a Deeper Correction Underway? Zooming out to the weekly chart, the pattern is beginning to evolve into a well-defined structure, with clear upper and lower boundaries. Gowanus Monster noted that the current focus lies on identifying a higher low within this channel. He also pointed to a key principle: when a price rebound from the upper boundary of a descending channel fails to reach the lower boundary, instead bottoming out early, it often precedes a bullish breakout to the upside. This nuanced behavior, if confirmed, may set the stage for XRP to defy the current bearish structure and ignite a fresh rally beyond the confines of its channel. Bear Trap Scenario: When Oversold Meets Demand According to crypto analyst GemXBT, XRP remains firmly entrenched in a short-term downtrend, with price action currently trading below the 5, 10, and 20-period moving averages. This alignment of moving averages is a classic sign of sustained bearish momentum, suggesting that sellers continue to dominate the market in the near term. Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Bullish Reversal Setup With This Demand Zone Presently, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dipped into the oversold zone, suggesting an imminent reversal or a period of consolidation as the market seeks equilibrium. Meanwhile, the MACD line remains below the signal line, indicating that downside pressure persists, and any potential recovery could face headwinds. From a price structure standpoint, GemXBT identified key support around $2.15, which could serve as a critical level for buyers to step in and defend. On the upside, resistance lies near $2.25, a zone that bulls would need to reclaim in order to shift short-term sentiment. The recent uptick in trading volume is worth noting, as it could introduce more volatility in the sessions ahead, either accelerating a breakdown if support fails or fueling a sharp recovery if sentiment flips.

The recent price action for XRP has shown little sign of strength as the crypto is now battling sustained bearish pressure. Since the start of the correction phase on May 12, XRP has posted consecutive lower highs on the daily timeframe, slipping further from its May peak of $2.65. This ongoing decline comes after a rally that started last month, which saw the XRP price rebound from $1.80 in early April. However, the momentum that drove that surge has now been overtaken by a clear wave of red candles, and technical analysis suggests that the XRP price can crash below $2 again in the coming days to the April low. MasterAnanda Flags Risk Of Further XRP Downside A recent technical update shared by analyst MasterAnanda on TradingView reinforces the short-term bearish sentiment. The chart shared alongside the analysis shows XRP has broken down from a rising channel, with three consecutive daily closes below the lower trendline. Related Reading: Analysts Are Predicting XRP Price To Climb Above $20 In Unexpected Rally These three consecutive red days have rejected the setup of an upwards bounce on the lower trendline. Although XRP is still trading above $2 right now, the longer it continues to trade below the $2.30 region, the more likely a steeper drop becomes. In his analysis on TradingView, the analyst MasterAnanda acknowledged that XRP may appear due for a rebound, but the underlying signals tell a different story. “It looks like XRPUSDT can recover any minute now, but the correction might not be over,” the analyst noted. Interestingly, despite the ongoing decline, bearish volume has been quite low. This shows that the selling may not be particularly strong, but also not challenged. This low-volume pullback suggests the market is drifting down due to a lack of buyers rather than intense selling pressure. Even so, the analyst noted that XRP has yet to reach a solid support level. XRP Bullish Long-Term, But Can Crash Below $2 Although the short-term chart paints a troubling picture, MasterAnanda is confident in XRP’s bullish trajectory in the long term. However, the Fibonacci retracement levels marked on the chart show that the price has already dropped through the 0.382 zone and is hovering near the 0.236 line at $2.035. Beneath that, the low near $1.75 is the critical area to watch, which aligns with the analyst’s projected support zone. Related Reading: Can XRP Market Cap Touch $1.5 Trillion? Analyst Reveals The Math Behind It If XRP fails to hold above $2.00, it could slip toward that higher low. A red arrow drawn on the daily candlestick timeframe chart shows the trajectory of this decline. As such, XRP traders should prepare for the possibility of a strong downside unless a strong reversal happens before the crypto breaks below $2. XRP’s bearish sentiment is gradually intensifying. If this correction continues unchecked, a retest of the $1.70 to $1.80 range may come sooner than expected. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.13, down by 3.85% in the past 24 hours and 8.9% in the past seven days. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has highlighted a bullish candle formation, which could send the XRP price to as high as $22. This comes just as the analyst predicted that the altcoin could hit a $1.5 trillion market. XRP Price Eyes Rally To $22 As Bullish Candle Forms In an X post, Egrag Crypto predicted that candle 13 on the yearly chart could be the breakout candle that sends the XRP price to $13 or $22. He also raised the possibility of the altcoin surging above these price levels, with a wick extending even higher. Based on his analysis of Candle 9, the 2021 yearly candle, the analyst noted that Candle 13 points to a target of around $17. Related Reading: XRP Holds Midline Support That Has Led To Breakout In The Past, Why $2.9 Could Be Next Egrag Crypto remarked that this aligns perfectly between $13 and $22 for the XRP price. He also commented on Candle 12, noting that it was the strongest Bullish Engulfing pattern. This engulfing process started from Candle 5 and continued through Candle 11. The analyst added that the body of these candles closed above all previous candles, which is a “classic bullish sign.” It is even more bullish when it occurs on a yearly or 12-month chart, as in this case. Commenting on the current XRP price action, Egrag Crypto stated that the noise is still loud on the high timeframes. He noted that the body of Candle 13 is above $1.85, and the wick extends up to around $3.40. The analyst claimed that a close below $1.85 could mark the end of the bull run, while a close above $3.40 confirms that XRP is heading to double digits. Interestingly, the crypto analyst declared that December 31 this year will be a date to remember in XRP history. He remarked that market participants will see where the XRP price stands and what kind of candle formations are shaping up for the legendary year. XRP At A Critical Level In an X post, Crypto analyst CasiTrades noted that the XRP price has returned to the $2.25 range, which is one of the most important levels on the chart. She stated that this zone has acted as both resistance and support since the $0.50 breakout, and now a proper backtest is underway. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts XRP Price Could Shoot To $12 Soon The analyst revealed that the smaller timeframes show that this level could hold. However, she warned that higher-timeframe confirmation is key and that the XRP price needs daily closes above $2.25 to confirm a bullish pivot. CasiTrades added that whether or not this is the final pivot, this level remains a high-probability zone for buyers. She noted that the next major support is at $1.90 if this $2.25 support fails. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.21, down almost 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has made a bold prediction that the XRP price can hit a $1.5 trillion market cap. He revealed how the altcoin can achieve this milestone by alluding to technical indicators, which show the measured move from this current market cap to a $1.5 trillion market cap. How The XRP Price Can Reach $1.5 Trillion Market Cap In an X post, Egrag Crypto stated that the Logarithmic move could send the XRP price to around $1.5 trillion market cap, exceeding the Fib 1.618 by approximately $500 billion. Meanwhile, the Non-Logarithmic move will put the altcoin at around $270 billion, aligning with the Fib 1.618. Related Reading: XRP Price Flashes Signal That Triggered 600% Rally In November 2024 The crypto analyst remarked that he sees two potential growth levels by measuring the previous cycle, the move from Fib 1.0 to Fib 1.618. Based on this, he predicts a 242% increase and a 600% increase. He then highlighted the four possible targets from the lowest to the highest. The first is the projected XRP price rally to a $270 billion market cap in line with the non-logarithmic measured move. The second target is a 242% XRP price rally to a $450 billion market cap, backing the previous cycle’s move from Fib 1.0 to Fib 1.618. The third target is another 242% rally to a $978 billion market cap. Meanwhile, the rally to a $1.5 trillion market cap is the last target, with the Non-Log W pattern measured move for maximum potential. Egrag Crypto highlighted what the XRP price could be based on its current circulating supply of 58.68 billion if it reaches these market cap targets. The altcoin’s price will be $4.60, $7.66, and $16.65 if it reaches the $270 billion, $450 billion, and $978 billion market caps, respectively. Meanwhile, XRP will hit $25.56 if it reaches the $1.5 trillion market cap milestone. Another Analysis To Support This Price Projection In another X post, Egrag Crypto predicted that the XRP price can reach between $13 and $22 based on his analysis of the altcoin’s yearly chart. He stated that candle 13 will be the breakout candle, which will lead to the rally to $13 or $22, with the wick potentially extending even higher. Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Bullish Reversal Setup With This Demand Zone He noted that by analyzing Candle 9, the 2021 yearly candle, and its full body move of an 800% gain, applying this increase to Candle 13 points to an XRP price target of around $17. He added that this aligns perfectly between Line 1 at $13 and Line 2 at $22. It is worth mentioning that Egrag Crypto has also predicted that the altcoin could rally to $27 in 60 days, aligning with the $1.5 trillion market cap projection. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.28, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP may be on the verge of a major upside breakout—but only after what crypto analyst Quantum Ascent describes as a necessary and temporary correction. In a new video analysis published on May 28, the seasoned trader warned that a drop toward the $2.13 level appears increasingly likely, but emphasized that such a move fits within a larger bullish Elliott Wave structure and would not invalidate the macro setup. XRP Set To Plunge Before Exploding Higher? “I said $2.71 was on deck—and we hit $2.66,” Quantum Ascent recalled, referencing a prediction made earlier in May. “I was five cents off. But now, it looks like we’re in a bit of a correction. I’m a little thrown off by the wave count here.” The confusion, he explained, stems from the structure of what appears to be a completed five-wave move. While the third wave in an Elliott Wave pattern is typically the longest, the analyst noted inconsistencies in the current formation that warrant a deeper technical review. Still, the overall structure—particularly on the weekly chart—remains intact. “You can see one-two-three-four-five on the weekly,” he said. “That’s printing a macro one-two. And the third wave should get us going here out of this area.” Related Reading: XRP Bull Flag Targets $18: Analyst Sees 70% Chance Of Breakout Zooming into the 12-hour and daily timeframes, Quantum Ascent pointed to an ABC corrective pattern now likely unfolding, with the C wave projected to equal the A wave in length. According to his measurement, this points to a downside target of $2.12–$2.13, which aligns with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level drawn from the previous impulse wave and also coincides with the fourth wave of the prior move—often a zone of strong support. “For me, that looks really good as a spot for us to kind of chill out. Maybe consolidate sideways a little bit,” he said. “But I do expect the next move to be up.” He was adamant that a breakdown below $2.13 would not constitute a structural failure: “I find it really hard to think XRP’s gonna go below $2 here on this move. It could technically—and still nothing would be broken. We’re still just looking for a one-two, and the two could come down here if it wanted.” Related Reading: XRP To $12: Analyst Reveals What Could Trigger The Breakout Quantum Ascent also highlighted XRP’s comparative strength relative to the broader crypto market, noting that it had recently set a higher high earlier than most altcoins. “Structurally on the larger time frame, XRP is holding up a lot stronger than the rest of the market.” The analyst, who disclosed that he originally bought XRP around $0.50 and sold a large portion above $3, said he remains long-term bullish and continues to hold XRP as a core part of his portfolio. “This thing has been good to me,” he said. “Again, I see a drop down temporarily—but it’s just that. It’s temporary.” For now, all eyes remain on the $2.13 level. If XRP holds that zone and confirms support, Quantum Ascent believes a new bullish wave 4 could soon begin—one that takes the token above the $2.80 mark. At press time, XRP traded at $2.29.

A crypto analyst has predicted that the XRP price could surge to remarkable levels, ranging from $25 to $75, in June. According to the expert, a combination of key bullish factors is expected to drive this significant price rally, potentially marking new all-time highs for the altcoin. In a rather lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter), a crypto analyst known as ‘The Real Redmi Relief’ outlined a series of critical events scheduled for June and July 2025 that will serve as powerful catalysts for driving the XRP price to unprecedented levels between the $25 – $75 range. Catalyst Events Fueling XRP Price Next Surge Firstly, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, is expected to roll out X payments, making XRP more useful in real-world terms and driving global adoption—especially if it is included as a digital currency option within the platform. Alongside this, the analyst views the introduction of the “Genius Act” in June as a game-changing regulatory development. This newly proposed bill could bring well-needed clarity for and possibly ease restrictions surrounding digital assets, potentially eliminating adoption barriers for XRP. Related Reading: $10,000 XRP Theory: Factors Analyst Shares Scenarios That Could Drive Growth Another catalytic event that could drive the XRP price toward the analyst’s bullish target is the ongoing US SEC lawsuit, which is expected to reach a critical juncture in June. The resolution or a positive outcome in this case could eliminate years of regulatory uncertainty that previously suppressed XRP’s growth. Looking ahead from June to August, the anticipated approval and launch of XRP Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) is another key driver. These ETFs would require fund managers to hold large quantities of XRP, creating substantial institutional demand. Given the relatively limited XRP supply available on exchanges, the market expert expects this increased demand to trigger a possible supply squeeze that would intensify upward price pressure. The final catalyst event that would push the altcoin toward $25 – $75 is the ISO 20022 messaging standard. The Real Redmi Relief has revealed that this electronic data exchange framework is set to be implemented in July, potentially pushing XRP more deeply into global payment infrastructures. Market Dynamics And Sentiment To Boost The Altcoin Outlook Beyond upcoming bullish events that could drive XRP’s price higher, the analyst offers a broader perspective on the cryptocurrency’s market dynamics and investor sentiment, which could also contribute to its projected rally. The analyst emphasized that the “delay game,” which previously stalled progress on key developments, including ISO 20022, XRP ETF approval, and SEC regulatory clarity, is now effectively over. Related Reading: XRP Price Surge To $10: Analyst Reveals Factors That Will Make It Happen In 2025 With multiple positive triggers converging around the same time frame, market participants could experience heightened FOMO, especially among institutional investors eager to capitalize on the potential upside. Notably, the analyst warns of possible manipulation practices on exchanges during this expected bullish run. He cautioned that some XRP might be sold off behind the scenes, resulting in withdrawal delays and various account issues. These tactics, as he claims, are part of a recurring pattern seen during past crypto market rallies, where large players accumulate assets at the expense of retail investors.

XRP has achieved another impressive milestone with the Dubai Land Department’s announcement of a $16 billion real estate tokenization project on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This development has been lauded as one of the factors that could spark an XRP price rally. XRP Records Milestone With New Dubai Land Department Project In a press release, Ctrl Alt revealed that it has partnered with Dubai Land Department (DLD) to develop a secure and compliant tokenization framework. The project will focus on structuring, minting, and tokenizing real estate deeds on the blockchain. The release also mentioned that the XRP Ledger has been chosen for the tokenization project, representing a huge achievement for the XRP ecosystem. Related Reading: Is There A “Secret XRP Ledger” And Is The Price Really At $1,000? Ctrl Alt noted that the XRP Ledger is a decentralized layer-1 blockchain, which is renowned for its decade-long reliability and stability in tokenizing and exchanging digital and real-world assets. This move is expected to further enhance the network’s utility and ultimately increase demand for XRP, the network’s native token. Ripple Executive Reece Merrick commented on the development, noting that the Dubai Land Department forecasts a $16 billion tokenized real estate market by 2033. This represents 7% of total property transactions, which would be processed on the XRP Ledger. Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton also commented on this milestone. In an X post, he remarked that people fail to realize that the XRP Ledger, which was created in 2012, has the world’s first decentralized exchange (DEX). He added that this DEX was designed for RWA tokenization, such as real estate, indicating that the XRPL is the perfect choice for the DLD. Crypto analyst Cryptoinsight highlighted how bullish this milestone is for the XRP price, predicting that it could be one of the catalysts that sparks a rally to $12. This will mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. Other Recent Milestones For XRP And The XRP Ledger XRP has recorded some other milestones in the last week. Brazil’s Braza Group announced that its new USD-backed stablecoin, USDB, will launch on the XRP Ledger. This will give individuals and institutions a seamless and secure way to move value across borders. It is worth mentioning that Braza had already launched the BBRL, a Real-backed stablecoin, on the XRP Ledger earlier this year.

Ripple noted that this is a key step toward compliant stablecoin adoption, enabling payments, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and on-chain finance in the European market. Mayukha Vadari, a software engineer at Ripple, has also teased a number of exciting new features coming soon to the XRP Ledger. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.30, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Independent market technician EGRAG CRYPTO posted an updated weekly XRP/USD chart on X. The visual, built on Bitfinex data, frames the entire post-July 2024 advance by XRP as the flag-pole of a classic bull-flag continuation pattern and argues that the subsequent ten-week drift has traced out a near-textbook, downward-slanted consolidation channel whose upper and lower rails are highlighted in magenta. XRP Poised For Breakout “The success rate of breaking upwards is around 67–70 percent,” the analyst writes, citing bulk pattern-recognition studies that underpin the set-up’s statistical edge. XRP is trading near $2.30, a value marked on the chart by a blue dotted horizontal line intersecting the body of the flag. Related Reading: XRP To $12: Analyst Reveals What Could Trigger The Breakout Beneath that, a white line at $1.50 records the late-2024 breakout shelf that now functions as first higher-time-frame support, while a deeper red horizontal at roughly $0.60 flags the base from which the current cycle began. Threading up through the entire structure is a rising yellow moving average—visually consistent with the 20-week EMA (currently at $2.21)—underscoring what Egrag calls the market’s “still-positive long-term trend bias.” From that foundation the technician derives three measured-move objectives. “For long-term breakouts I prefer logarithmic charts, especially in crypto, because of its exponential growth over short periods,” he explained. On that basis a log-scale projection extrapolates the full height of the flag-pole and lands at $18.00. A linear projection, which treats each dollar of advance equally, prints a markedly lower $5.50. Taking what he describes as a “liquidity-adjusted average — my preferred method for crypto targets,” Egrag settles on $11.75. Related Reading: Analyst Shows 3-Cycle Ride For XRP Price To Reach $46 Because digital-asset order books remain relatively thin, the analyst overlays a variability band of fifteen to twenty percent, stretching the log target to roughly $20.70–$21.60, the average to $13.51–$14.10 and the linear to $6.33–$6.60. “I usually apply a 15–20 percent variability because crypto liquidity is still smaller compared to legacy markets, so targets can extend both ways,” he cautioned. A disclaimer printed directly on the graphic reiterates that the numbers and targets are “for simulation purposes only and not financial advice.” Even so, the roadmap is clear for Egrag: so long as XRP defends the mid-flag zone near $2.30 and, critically, the structural pivot at $1.50, the technician contends that an eventual breakout could vault the token into double-digit territory, with the headline log objective sitting just beneath the psychologically resonant $20 handle. At press time, XRP traded at $2.28, still hovering just below the upper trendline of the bull flag. A close above the resistance could accelerate the XRP price quickly towards the 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels at $2.50 and $2.71 respectively.

Crypto analyst Cryptoinsight has provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price, predicting that it could soon rally to as high as $12. He alluded to fundamentals and technicals, which could spark this parabolic rally. What Could Spark The XRP Price Rally To $12 In a YouTube video, Cryptoinsight highlighted the Dubai Land Department’s recent move to launch a tokenization platform on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) as one of the catalysts that could spark the XRP price rally to $12. He also mentioned other recent partnerships and major moves Ripple has made as factors that could contribute to the price surge. Related Reading: $10,000 XRP Theory: Factors Analyst Shares Scenarios That Could Drive Growth One is the crypto firm’s acquisition of the prime broker Hidden Road, which is expected to boost the XRP Ledger’s utility. This is ultimately bullish for the XRP price as the network’s native token. The crypto analyst also mentioned the alleged link between Hidden Road and the DTCC, which enables the prime broker to process trillions of dollars in US Treasury trades daily. Cryptoinsight also noted that Ripple has acquired a payments license in Dubai, which is bullish for the XRP price, since it is the native token of the crypto firm’s payment services. He alluded to reports of the crypto firm allegedly looking to acquire USDC issuer Circle and the XRP ETFs, whose approval odds continue to soar. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently discussed crypto ETFs, which the analyst believes could be a hint that these ETFs will be approved soon. Lastly, he mentioned the XRP lawsuit as another event that could be a catalyst if the long-running legal battle ends soon. Cryptoinsight predicts that the XRP price rally to $12 could happen in the next few months. From a technical perspective, he also highlighted bullish indicators like a bull flag that had formed on XRP’s weekly chart. The crypto analyst stated that momentum is starting to reverse to the upside and that buyers could step in soon. The Altcoin On The Verge Of A Local Low In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that the XRP price hasn’t made a local low yet but is on the verge of doing that. She remarked that all signs point to a retest of the $2.25 to $2.26 zone. The analyst added that this is a major structural support that aligns with the macro .382 retracement and has been a key level for the last six months. Related Reading: XRP Price Explosion To $5.9: Current Consolidation Won’t Stop XRP From Growing If that support zone holds, she claimed it could mark the base for a new wave toward $2.70. However, if it breaks, the deeper support levels at $1.90 and $1.55 would come back into focus, meaning that the altcoin could still drop below the psychological $2 level before the next leg up. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.30, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The latest webcast from the market commentator known as Crypto Insight UK centres on a single contention: the technical and fundamental backdrop for XRP now mirrors the pre-euphoric set-ups that propelled the token from $0.50 to $2.70 in four weeks during 2021, and it could drive a surge “towards eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve dollars in the very short term.” When Will XRP Hit $12? The analyst began with Bitcoin, because “Bitcoin price action correlates [with] the rest of the market, at least at the minute, before we start to see dominance breakdown.” Last week’s candle, he notes, was the highest weekly close ever recorded by the benchmark asset, yet—critically—the weekly relative-strength index has not entered the overbought zone. In prior cycles, the RSI’s passage into that territory “is when we start to get this mania push-up” that drags alt-coins with it. XRP’s own history is invoked as corroboration: “When we got the weekly into the overbought, that’s when we went from fifty-cent up to $2.70 in the space of like four weeks.” The analyst then drills into order-book heat-maps. Above Bitcoin price lies what he calls a “dense liquidity” cluster, most prominent around $130,000. A matching reservoir sits below, first at $100,000 and then at $93,000. “If we get a pull-back into this $100K level, I will start to heavily position in leverage in altcoins,” he tells viewers, adding that a deeper flush to $93,000 would see him “continue to add to my positions.” Related Reading: XRP Sees Wave Of Inflows: 70% Of Realized Cap Now New Money The market, he argues, is trapped in a self-reinforcing liquidity cycle: each test of overhead supply squeezes shorts, price consolidates, fresh liquidity builds at the new ceiling, and the pattern repeats until a catalyst—a macro loosening of money, a geopolitical shock, or a technical breakout—propels Bitcoin into the next tranche. A sustained move through $130,000, he contends, would likely be that catalyst and would “probably” mark the formal start of alt-season. XRP’s chart is examined through a similar lens. Price has pushed out of what he labels a Wyckoff accumulation range, broken structure to the upside, and is now “finding support on previous resistance” inside a broad bull-flag. On the weekly ratios—XRP/Bitcoin, XRP/Ether and XRP dominance—momentum is quietly inflecting: “We’re starting to get bullish divergences, which is where we see higher lows on the RSI and lower lows in price action … it’s telling us the sellers are running out of steam.” He identifies a descending trend-line capping the consolidation; once that line breaks, he anticipates “an aggressive move back to the upside for XRP.” XRP Price Catalysts The webcast’s second movement shifts from charts to narrative catalysts. Here the analyst reels off a series of developments he regards as unusually synchronous. Reece Merrick, Ripple’s managing director for the Middle East and Africa, has just unveiled a partnership with the Dubai Land Department that tokenises real-estate title deeds on the XRP Ledger, a choice the press release describes as grounded in the chain’s “decade-long reliability.” Related Reading: Analyst Shows 3-Cycle Ride For XRP Price To Reach $46 Ripple has closed its acquisition of Hidden Road, a prime brokerage whose name appears in DTCC documentation that references both XRP and XLM for cross-chain settlement. The firm, he reminds viewers, also holds “the full crypto payments license and settlement ability in Dubai.” Speculation that Ripple might purchase Circle—the issuer of USDC—for about $11 billion, though unconfirmed, is folded into the same bullish mosaic, as is the launch of Ripple’s own RLUSD stablecoin and talk of a looming XRP spot-ETF. Brad Garlinghouse himself, the analyst notes, chose ETFs as the single topic for last Thursday’s edition of Ripple’s “Crypto in a Minute,” having already mused on a podcast that an approval could arrive in July. In Washington, the analyst is watching for passage of the GENIUS stablecoin bill, timing he calls “very convenient” for RLUSD. Even the on-going SEC litigation—Judge Analisa Torres recently rejected the agency’s procedural bid to bring the penalty phase to a close—is framed not as a hindrance but as a potential upside catalyst once resolved. Taken together, he argues, these technical and narrative strands form a spring: “What I’m basically trying to set you up for here, guys, is a succession of positive narratives that will squeeze XRP’s price higher as we move into price discovery.” Yet his crescendo is tempered by disciplined risk management. He illustrates the peril of euphoria with hypothetical road-maps: Bitcoin might gallop to $150,000 or $170,000 and then recoil 18%; altcoins could shed twice that. Under one XRP scenario, an advance to $12 is followed by a 64% retracement to $4.50. “Take some money off the table,” he urges, because unrealised gains “aren’t good for anybody.” Profits banked at interim targets equip the trader both to enjoy further upside and to “reallocate if we get a pull-back.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.30.

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has predicted that the XRP price can reach $46 based on a historical pattern recorded in the first market cycle. Meanwhile, his analysis of the 3-cycle ride also showed that the altcoin can still reach double digits if it mirrors patterns recorded in other cycles. XRP Price To Reach $46 If It Mirrors Cycle One In an X post, Egrag Crypto stated that market participants could see the XRP price touching $46 if the altcoin repeats a pattern like the first cycle. He highlighted the historical pattern in cycle one, in which XRP dropped below the 21 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and then dropped an incredible 5,550%. The altcoin then retraced back to the 21 EMA and then dropped another 2,500%. Related Reading: XRP Price To See 64,000% Rally To $1,700? Analysts Reveal End Of Year Predictions Meanwhile, the crypto analyst predicts that the XRP price can reach $12 if it follows cycle 2. In the second cycle, XRP dropped below the 21 EMA, which led to a 150% breakdown. The altcoin then retraced to the 21 EMA, before it fell again by 500%. Egrag Crypto noted that averaging these projections of a 2,500% and 500% surge gives almost 1,500%, which roughly suggests a target of $30. However, the analyst stated that his estimate is $27. Commenting on this current cycle, which is the third cycle, the analyst revealed that the XRP price has dropped below the 21 EMA, with a potential rise of 430%. He further noted that the altcoin is retracing back to touch the 21 EMA. If XRP stays above $2, Egrag Crypto claims that the EMA will descend to meet the price. He affirmed that it is coming and very soon. The Altcoin To Hit $27 In Just 60 Days? In another analysis, Egrag Crypto raised the possibility of the XRP price gaining 1,700% and rallying to $27 in just 60 days. He stated that if XRP is repeating the last section or pattern from October 2017, then the altcoin might be on the brink of a major breakout soon. Back then, it took the altcoin about 63 days to explode and set a new all-time high (ATH), surging by 1,772%. Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Bullish Reversal Setup With This Demand Zone If history repeats itself, Egrag Crypto is confident that the XRP price could be approaching $27 within the next 63 days. He reminded market participants that securing profits along the way is always wise as the altcoin rallies to this target. The analyst also revealed that breaking the $3 mark, the high from the February 24 candle this year, is the ultimate target in preparation for the rally to double digits. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.33, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP price has entered into another consolidation pattern following its break below $2.4 over the weekend. Now, this is nothing new for XRP, which has previously gone on years-long consolidations before now. Just like before, the current consolidations seems to be preceding something bigger and this move could send the altcoin soaring toward new all-time highs. XRP Price Still Holding Above Key Support In an analysis, “Dennishhrndz” showed where the XRP price is currently sitting and the factors that are surrounding the altcoin right now. Firstly, he explains that the cryptocurrency is still trading above a long-term rising trend line. Furthermore, there is tight consolidation in a bullish compression patter, which he likened to a classic “coiled spring.” Related Reading: Ethereum Nears $2,800 Break-Even Zone: Why This Is Important For Rally To $3,000 Not only this, but over the last six months, the XRP price has also been putting in higher lows, a development that is bullish for the price of any cryptocurrency. Since XRP is maintaining this trend, it suggests that there is still bullish firepower despite the price decline. Add in the fact that it is still trading above a very important trendline support, XRP is showing that its uptrend is far from over. The trendline support here is sitting at $2, and with the XRP price still skirting around $2.3, it is still more than 10% away before testing this support level. Inversely, the major resistance outlined by the crypto analyst is one at the $2.7 level. This suggests a run-up before the XRP price encounters any major pushback. Other important developments to note is the fact that the RSI is now sitting in a neutral position. At a 50.88 RSI, give or take, it means that the RSI is resetting. This gives it a fresh start and a bounce board that could help it take off toward the next major level. The MACD is also seeing a bullish crossover as the momentum has been rising slowly during this time. This also follows the decline in the trading volume. Now, low trading volumes often signal bearish control but they also serve as a signal leading up to breakout patterns. When To Get In Given the developments outlined by the crypto analyst, he gives two major buy levels. The first one here is the $2 to $2.2 zone. This is where support for the XRP price lies and serves as a buy zone. Meanwhile, the second level to get in is after the break above $2.7 with strong volume, which would signal continuation. Related Reading: Technical Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Price Blow Off Top To $325,000 – The Timeline Will Shock You Such a break above $2.7 would allow the XRP price to rally towards its true targets. First is a run-up to $3.50, and then the crypto analyst sees a shot to $5. “The longer this consolidates above trendline support, the stronger the breakout move will be,” the analyst said.

After mirroring Bitcoin’s strong breakout over the past week, XRP recently surged to an intraday high of $2.47 before retracing to a lower daily close. Despite this, the broader outlook for XRP is bullish, with the altcoin generally moving in lockstep with Bitcoin and the wider crypto rally. According to recent analysis, a key technical signal just flashed, one that previously preceded a massive 600% rally in November 2024. Familiar Weekly RSI Signal Returns After 200 Days According to crypto analyst Dark Defender, XRP has once again produced a rare Golden Cross on its weekly RSI indicator, an event that last occurred on November 4, 2024. That signal directly preceded XRP’s explosive 600% rally, and its reappearance points to the potential emergence of a similar trajectory for the crypto. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Explains XRP Price Roadmap To $37 As Bears Fight For Control Notably, the appearance of the new RSI cross coincides with the elimination of a long-standing weekly resistance trendline after XRP broke to $2.59 on May 14. The analyst’s chart clearly highlights this breakout, with a bright green trendline now breached and a bullish pin bar candlestick forming just above it, adding strength to the bullish case. The RSI’s behavior in the 1W candlestick timeframe chart below is also particularly telling. The purple RSI line has crossed above the yellow moving average once again, exactly as it did in early November 2024. Back then, XRP flashed the cross when its price was trading around $0.5. However, the ensuing price action saw it explode by over 600% to peak at a multi-year high around $3.31 on January 12, 2025. $3.33 In Sight, But $5.85 May Be The Real Prize Considering the previous price action after the weekly RSI cross in late 2024, crypto analyst Dark Defender’s outlook is based on repeating the same 600% rally or close in the coming weeks. Following this development, Dark Defender has outlined two key price targets. Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Bullish Reversal Setup With This Demand Zone The first is $3.33, close to the multi-year peak in January 2025. Should XRP break past that level, the next major target lies around $5.85, corresponding to the 261.8% Fibonacci level. The analyst refers to this upper range as the parapet, meaning that this level could be the next all-time high peak after the price rally. The Elliott Wave structure plotted on the chart outlines a five-wave impulsive move, and XRP is now about to enter wave III, the longest and most powerful wave in a bullish cycle. If this structure plays out as expected, XRP could rapidly push through $2.59, hold above $3.33, and rally toward the upper boundary of the projection range. Interestingly, none of these price targets uses a repeat of the full 600% rally. The $3.33 target is 43% away from the current price level, while $5.85 represents a 150% gain from the current price. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.34. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview.com
As Bitcoin extends its parabolic climb past $110,000, a closely followed crypto analyst is sounding the alarm for what could be XRP’s most explosive breakout in years. 470% XRP Rally Reloaded? In a market breakdown published on May 22, Cryptoinsightuk (@Cryptoinsightuk)—who has been tracking inverse correlations between the dollar index (DXY) and Bitcoin—told followers that XRP is approaching a critical moment in its historical pattern. Drawing on technical signals and liquidity metrics, the analyst argued that XRP could replicate its late 2020-style breakout, which saw a 470% rally in just 28 days. “Bitcoin is at all-time highs,” he said at the start of the video. “Now we need to lock in because where things could get really exciting is what’s next.” His focus quickly shifted to XRP, which he believes is tracing a setup eerily similar to a period that preceded its 5x surge. The analyst highlighted a “substantial break of the range” on XRP’s chart that historically has marked the start of altseason. “This is the area where XRP outperformed the market,” he noted, referring to a 28-day span starting November 5 during which XRP surged from $0.50 to over $2.70. Related Reading: XRP Price To See 64,000% Rally To $1,700? Analysts Reveal End Of Year Predictions He pointed out that XRP’s historical outperformance came immediately after Bitcoin made a clean break above resistance, and critically, during a sharp decline in Bitcoin dominance—a metric that tracks Bitcoin’s share of the total crypto market cap. “This was the drop that saw XRP move up from 50 cents to $2.70, and then continue to $3.30,” he said. “Now we’re watching for signs of that again.” According to the analysis, XRP’s bullish potential hinges on a few key technical signals aligning. First, he noted a possible bullish divergence forming on the RSI (Relative Strength Index) of the XRP/ETH and XRP/BTC pairs, which could suggest that bearish momentum is fading even as price pulls back. “It’s essentially showing that even though price is going lower, momentum is not there to the downside,” he explained. Related Reading: Massive XRP Selling Pressure Is Stalling Price Action, Analyst Warns The analyst also emphasized the importance of daily closes above certain resistance levels, particularly $2.43 and $2.60, to confirm the start of a renewed uptrend. “That would be a nice daily close… and then we’re targeting $2.60. If we break above that, we’re confirming a new higher high, higher low structure,” he said, adding that the next major resistance lies between $3.40 and $3.00—beyond which, price discovery could begin. Altcoin Season Incoming Beyond XRP, he warned that broader market dynamics also support a shift into altcoins. “What we’ve seen is more and more people trying to short local tops. That takes us higher,” he explained. He cited rising short positions above current price levels as evidence of “pain liquidity”—a squeeze dynamic that could force price action sharply upward. While the rally has begun with Bitcoin, he believes altcoins are poised to follow, with Ethereum already showing signs of rotation. “We want Bitcoin dominance to kind of hold while price moves up,” he said, “and then for liquidity to rotate into altcoins.” Still, Cryptoinsightuk urged caution. “It’s a day to be excited, not a day to rush into trades,” he said. “This is why I’ve been screaming all year to buy the dip,” he added, “whether in XRP, ENA or whatever you want. The setup is here.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.445. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
