THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

XRP price forecasts have taken a dramatic turn as bold predictions surface, suggesting that the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a parabolic 64,000% rally to $1,700. Analysts backing this ambitious forecast point to historical price patterns and XRP’s current technical structure as the basis for their end-of-the-year predictions.  A chart shared by crypto analyst The Real Remi Relief on X (formerly Twitter) shows that XRP is mirroring a technical pattern that preceded its 2017-2018 historical bull run — one that saw the third largest cryptocurrency skyrocket by tens of thousands of percent in just a few months. Now that this historical pattern is unfolding, the analyst has confirmed that a breakout is on the horizon for XRP, with projections pointing toward a potential price target as high as $1,700.  XRP Price End Of Year Forecast The chart shows two distinct consolidation phases in XRP’s price action — the first spanning from 2014 to 2017 and the second lasting from 2018 until early 2024. During both periods, the cryptocurrency underwent a long-term compression under a descending resistance line. This compression was followed by a breakout, retest, and vertical price expansion.  Related Reading: XRP Moves Into Key Range Against Bitcoin As 3 Major Targets Show Up Notably, this breakout in 2017 led to XRP reaching its historical all-time high of $3.84 — a level it hasn’t revisited for over six years. Earlier this year, XRP experienced a similar breakout that pushed it above the multi-year downtrend. The current chart shows that the cryptocurrency’s retest is holding steady, and this pattern has previously preceded massive rallies during the past bull cycles.  As a result, Real Remi Relief argues that history is on the verge of repeating itself. According to his end-of-year forecast for XRP, the cryptocurrency is poised for a staggering 64,000% rally, placing its price at a jaw-dropping $1,700 per token by as early as Q4 2025 or Q1 2026.  While the timeline could extend into the following year, the outlook still frames 2025 as a bullish turning point for XRP, with strong potential for the altcoin to close the year in a strong green. Interestingly, the crypto expert has also shared a more conservative target, predicting that XRP could record a still ambitious, but more realistic surge to $1,200 by year’s end.  XRP Could Skyrocket Even Higher By 150,000% While the Real Remi Relief’s $1,700 price projection for XRP is undeniably bold, the analyst goes even further, speculating that the cryptocurrency’s total upside potential in this cycle could soar as high as 80,000% and 150,000%. This surge could catapult XRP’s current price of $2.4 to an astonishing $1,920 and $3,600, respectively.  Related Reading: XRP: Exit Liquidity Pattern Forming Signals Crash To $1 Such gains would not only eclipse XRP’s previous all-time high but also represent one of the most dramatic asset revaluations in crypto history. Skepticism remains, of course, particularly amongst commentators under the analyst’s X post, who view this bold forecast as an almost impossible goal.

In a recent update on X, market analyst CRYPTOWZRD highlighted a developing double bottom formation on the XRPBTC chart, suggesting a possible bullish reversal may be underway. Although XRP ended the previous session with indecisive movements, this emerging pattern could drive its price action higher. Should the reversal confirm, XRP is likely to push toward the $2.80 resistance zone.  Bitcoin Dominance Pressures Altcoins, XRP Included Expanding on his initial analysis, the analyst noted that XRP and XRPBTC closed their daily candles indecisively, reflecting ongoing market uncertainty and a lack of strong directional action. While XRPBTC is currently holding above a key double bottom formation, the analyst emphasized that the pair still appears relatively weak and requires more stable and constructive price action to confirm a bullish breakout. A strong reaction from this level could serve as a catalyst, helping XRP gain momentum from its current position on the chart. Related Reading: XRP Price Will Still Rally From Here, Crypto Veteran Raoul Pal Forecasts He also pointed out that Bitcoin dominance continues to exert pressure on altcoins, including XRP, causing them to underperform in their BTC pairs. As Bitcoin dominance approaches a major resistance level, the analyst anticipates a reversal that could shift capital flow back into altcoins. Such a reversal would provide a favorable environment and support a broader bullish continuation for XRP. Looking ahead, the analyst stated that his focus will remain on the lower time frames throughout the next trading session to determine the next scalp opportunity, particularly if XRPBTC begins to show signs of recovery and buyers step in with stronger momentum. Waiting On Confirmation: No Entry Without A Clear Move Concluding his analysis, the analyst provided his outlook for the near-term price action, noting that intraday trading was choppy and lacked clear direction throughout the session. Despite the indecisiveness, he predicts a potential upside continuation if the price breaks above the $2.4650 intraday resistance level.  Related Reading: Massive XRP Selling Pressure Is Stalling Price Action, Analyst Warns Conversely, he identified $2.3160 as a crucial intraday support level, where buyers may step in if the market pulls back. This zone will be important to watch, as a breakdown below it could delay any immediate bullish momentum and signal further consolidation. The price action between these two levels will likely define the short-term direction for XRP. He emphasized that patience is key at this stage, urging traders to wait for a clear and healthy move before considering new entries. With market conditions still uncertain, the analyst plans to stay focused on refined setups and mature formations to ensure higher-probability trades in the sessions ahead.

Crypto analyst Galaxy has drawn similarities between the current XRP price action and the 2017 bull run, when the altcoin recorded significant gains. He predicts the altcoin could soon rally to double digits, mirroring the 2017 rally.  XRP Price To Rally To Double Digits As It Mirrors 2017 Rally In an X post, Galaxy indicated that the XRP price could rally to double digits as it mirrors the 2017 rally. He stated that XRP is almost perfectly following the breakout pattern of 2017 after 6 years of consolidation. The analyst added that the longer the consolidation, the bigger the price move.  Related Reading: XRP Reaching Oversold Levels As Net Flows Turn Negative, What’s Next? His accompanying chart showed that the XRP price could rally to almost $40 on this breakout. The analyst seems convinced that the altcoin could witness such a parabolic move, considering that XRP surged by 61,000% in 280 days in 2017. The chart also showed that the altcoin will likely reach this target sometime next year.  Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has also stated that he expects the XRP price to reach between $27 and $33 in this market cycle. He believes that a repeat of the 2017 historical performance makes these price targets achievable for the altcoin. The analyst has also alluded to factors such as the XRP ETFs and Ripple’s expansion as factors that could drive this price surge.  Meanwhile, crypto veteran Raoul Pal also affirmed that the XRP price has enough room to rally to the upside from its current level. He highlighted a bull flag that had formed for the altcoin, following its consolidation phase after last year’s rally. The veteran expects XRP to witness a bullish continuation after this consolidation phase, possibly rallying to as high as $5. This would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the token.  The Altcoin In A Bullish Phase Crypto analyst CobraVanguard asserted that the XRP price is in a bullish phase, while highlighting a falling wedge pattern that was forming for the altcoin. He remarked that this pattern indicates the altcoin’s potential to reach $3. However, the analyst warned that this setup could be invalidated if the wedge pattern is broken downwards with the strength of bearish candles.

He predicts that the altcoin could rally to its current all-time high once the B and C waves are completed in this corrective wave. The analyst is also confident that the altcoin can rally to double digits in the long term. He once predicted that the altcoin could reach $18 based on his Elliott Wave Theory analysis.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.38, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto veteran Raoul Pal has shared his thoughts on the XRP price, predicting it still has more room to rally to the upside. The altcoin is expected to hit a new all-time high (ATH) as it rallies higher.  XRP Price Primed For Another Leg Higher In a YouTube video, Pal remarked that XRP’s chart is one to behold and that its price will likely get another leg higher at some point. His accompanying chart showed a bull flag that had formed for the altcoin since last year, after its parabolic rally to the $2 range. Its price is currently in the consolidation phase, with a breakout usually occurring after this phase.  Related Reading: XRP Price Explosion To $5.9: Current Consolidation Won’t Stop XRP From Growing Based on the chart, the price could rally to as high as $5, which would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. Interestingly, before its surge late last year, the crypto veteran had advised investors to sell their dino coins like XRP and ADA. However, following the pump, he admitted he was wrong and became bullish on the altcoin.   This prediction comes amid the launch of the CME XRP and Micro XRP futures, which are bullish for its price. These products will provide institutional investors with exposure to the altcoin and are also integral to the approval of a Spot XRP ETF. An XRP ETF is one of the factors that crypto analyst BarriC believes could quickly drive prices to $10.   In the short term, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has suggested that the XRP price could retrace before it rallies higher. In an X post, he stated that the asset could return to $2 if it loses the critical $2.30 support. Crypto analyst CasiTrades had also warned that the altcoin could witness a correction following its failure to hold above $2.6 successfully.  The Altcoin Could Hit ATH After This Correction Crypto analyst Dark Defender has suggested that the XRP price could hit its ATH after this market correction, stating that the rally to ATH is closer than anyone else can think of. This came as he revealed that the token has completed the A Wave and is now on the B Wave of Wave 2, meaning that this corrective wave is in its midway.  Related Reading: $40 Billion Worth Of XRP On The Move – Where Are They Headed? The crypto analyst predicts that the XRP price could reach $3.333 after the B and C Waves in this Wave 2 corrective move. Meanwhile, the support levels to watch out for are $2.3502 and $2.2222, while the resistance levels to keep an eye for are $2.58 and $3.3333.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.38, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

A crypto analyst has outlined a long-term bullish roadmap for the XRP price, forecasting a gradual climb toward staggering all-time highs of $37. While the technical analysis and chart patterns support this optimistic outlook, bearish signals still linger on the horizon, highlighting a critical battleground for control between bulls and bears.  XRP Price Roadmap To $37 Drawing on the historical behavior of the XRP price action, market expert Egrag Crypto has highlighted the significance of the relationship between two key Moving Averages (MA): the 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 33-week Simple Moving Average (SMA).  Related Reading: Two Major Fibonacci Levels Put XRP Price At $8.40 And $27 In a technical report shared on X (formerly Twitter), the analyst noted that the interaction between these two MAs has repeatedly provided strong signals during both bullish and bearish market phases. He emphasized that this relationship could either set the stage for XRP to skyrocket toward a final target of $37 in this market cycle or trigger a bearish price breakdown.  According to the analyst’s chart and historical data, every time the 21 EMA crosses above the 33 SMA on the weekly chart, a dramatic price rally for XRP has always followed. Previous instances have seen staggering gains of 520.25% in 2025, 855.36% in 2021, 1,600.63% in 2018, and even as high as 6,505.21% in 2017. These moves were all preceded by the same crossover pattern: the 21 EMA taking a dominant position above the 33 SMA.  Based on this cyclic behavior, Egrag Crypto projects that XRP could once again be poised for a parabolic move upwards. The most conservative bullish targets lie around $5.71 and $9.57, while more aggressive estimates point to $27, with an ultimate extension potentially reaching $37. These price levels have been mapped out by projecting the percentage gains from past bull runs onto the chart structure.  Egrag Crypto has further emphasized that XRP’s bullish setup is being watched closely. Its price hovers around $2.34, signaling a substantial upside if history repeats.  Bears And Bulls Fight For Dominance  Despite Egrag Crypto’s optimistic outlook for the XRP price, the analyst warns that the bears are not out of the picture yet. The same Moving Average crossover logic that signals bullish strength could also serve as a double-edged sword, potentially indicating a powerful bearish reversal.  Related Reading: XRP Price At $10-$20 Only The Beginning, It’s Headed For $1,000 – Analyst Reveals Historically, when the 21 EMA crosses below the 33 SMA (a bearish cross), the XRP price has entered significant downtrends. The past two bearish crosses on May 28 and November 2021 led to steep declines of 87% and 72%, respectively.  Egrag Crypto cautions that a similar bearish crossover could occur, potentially triggering a price drop of nearly 79.54% from XRP’s local top. If this crossover does appear, the market expert has revealed plans to exit a large portion of his XRP position, signaling that the macro top has been reached and a prolonged bear phase is likely to follow.  Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP’s latest rally attempt has stalled just beneath a key volume-weighted average price (VWAP) level that traces back to the asset’s all-time high, according to a market update published on X earlier today by independent trader Dom (@traderview2). XRP Selling Pressure Is Capping Price Gains The 12-hour Binance chart shared by the analyst shows XRP/USDT changing hands at $2.4375 at 12:18 UTC-4, up 2.08 % on the session but still unable to reclaim what Dom labels the “ATH VWAP”—a long-term metric drawn from the April 2021 peak. A green band representing that average is currently drifting downward through ≈ $2.47, capping every intraday advance since mid-May. Beneath the price action, the seller’s footprint is unmistakable. “There’s simply been an overload of market selling and passive buyers have really tried their best to hold it up so far,” Dom wrote, citing proprietary order-flow statistics that record a net outflow of 240 million XRP across spot venues in the past week. Roughly 180 million of those units were allegedly dumped on Coinbase and South Korean exchange Upbit, while Binance has actually been decently flat, the post adds. Related Reading: Pundit Says XRP Price Will Stabilize At $1,000 And Become ‘Very Expensive’ The same chart plots two shorter-term anchored VWAPs that have become the coin’s last line of near-term support: a one-month rolling VWAP at $2.31, currently 5.22% below the session high (orange), and a three-month VWAP at $2.28, 6.40 % lower (cyan). XRP is “hanging on to the monthly and quarterly VWAP by a thread,” Dom warns. A decisive breach of those bands around $2.31–2.33 would leave the market “really just mid-range noise until … $2.20 is lost,” he adds, pointing to the December–February midpoint drawn on the left-hand volume profile. Related Reading: ‘What If XRP Is The Next Bitcoin?’ Says Dave Portnoy While Bitcoin has been “really just bouncing around” in a broad consolidation zone, the correlation has offered little relief to XRP bulls. Every minor rise in BTC has been met by fresh spot offers in XRP, underscoring what Dom calls the “very hard to see upward moves when we are seeing this type of market selling pressure.” For now, the technical chessboard is clear: reclaim the ATH VWAP and the path opens toward the late-March swing high above $3.00; lose $2.20 and the door swings the other way, toward the confluence of high-volume nodes stacked below $2.00. Until one of those barriers gives, the analyst concludes, XRP “has lost its pep in its step” and remains caught in a tug-of-war between relentless spot sellers and a thinning layer of passive bids. At press time, XRP traded at $2.36. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Despite its current lackluster price action, many crypto analysts have agreed through various analyses over the past few years that XRP has a very bright parabolic rally ahead. This sentiment has particularly gained ground due to its price action in Q4 2024, leading to a multi-year high of $3.34 in January 2025.  Although XRP has retraced quite a bit from this high, this hasn’t stopped bold long-term projections from resurfacing. One of the more striking forecasts comes from a crypto analyst who believes the altcoin will not only rally into double digits soon but eventually stabilize at $1,000 and become one of the most expensive digital assets in the world. Analyst Predicts The Altcoin Will Hit $10 To $20 Before Entering New Bear Market Crypto market commentator BarriC shared a post on social media platform X outlining a future price trajectory for XRP that begins with a major surge in the coming months. BarriC’s post begins by criticizing the perception that the current price range, which remains below $3, reflects failure. Instead, he views this phase as an accumulation opportunity before a massive breakout.  Related Reading: $10,000 XRP Theory: Factors Analyst Shares Scenarios That Could Drive Growth According to the analyst, there’s a high possibility that the XRP price will climb to somewhere between $10 and $20 in the next few months. Such a move would undoubtedly be accompanied by a surge in the trading volume and activity surrounding XRP. One such primer is if the cryptocurrency somehow gains full utility and adoption with banks in the next few months, or through the launch of a Spot XRP ETF. This surge, BarriC noted, would likely coincide with the final stages of the current altcoin season. Following that, he expects a significant market correction, similar to past cycles, which would bring XRP back down to the $5 to $10 range. Previous cycles dating back to 2016 have typically ended with a sharp 50% market dip. If this happens again, the lower boundary for the next cycle could land between $5 and $10. This mid-cycle dip, according to BarriC, will be the last time XRP is considered cheap before it enters a fundamentally different phase. Banks And Institutional Adoption To Tie Up XRP At $1,000 Permanently BarriC’s prediction is ultimately based on banks’ mass institutional adoption of XRP. He noted that when the asset becomes deeply integrated into the daily operations of banks and financial institutions, we will see a $1,000 XRP. Once trillions of dollars begin flowing consistently through the XRP Ledger, there will be no more volatility and bear market phases for its price.  Related Reading: XRP Price At $10-$20 Only The Beginning, It’s Headed For $1,000 – Analyst Reveals At that point, BarriC believes the altcoin will stabilize at a $1,000 valuation, not as a temporary peak but as a structural price floor. In this case, future investors may only be able to afford fractions of one XRP, much like Bitcoin currently. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.30, down by 2.35% in the past 24 hours. XRP has been steadily declining from $2.62 in the past seven days. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

A new technical analysis reveals that the XRP price has just confirmed a bullish reversal set-up on the 1-hour chart, following a strong rebound from a critical demand zone. This development has raised expectations of a potential short-term rally, as a crypto analyst forecasts higher targets in the coming sessions.  XRP Price Bullish Reversal In Sight ‘FrankFx14,’ a pseudonymous TradingView crypto analyst, has revealed that the XRP price has found solid footing between the $2.31246 and $2.37028 support area. The analyst also identified this range as a historically significant demand zone where previous buying pressure has consistently reversed price declines.   Related Reading: XRP Price Explosion To $5.9: Current Consolidation Won’t Stop XRP From Growing As XRP’s price dipped into this demand zone on May 17, bulls stepped in, defending the lower boundary and triggering a sharp rejection. According to the analyst, the confirmation came with a bullish engulfing candle — a widely recognized signal for a potential trend reversal.  Trading at approximately $2.378 at the time of the chart analysis, XRP is now holding the top of this key demand zone, indicating renewed buying interest. The TradingView analyst has suggested that as long as the price remains above $2.37028, XRP’s bullish outlook remains intact.  According to the TradingView expert, the presence of XRP’s bullish reversal setup is supported by the LuxAlgo Supply and the Demand Visible Range indicator. With XRP’s price action breaking upward from its local bottom, the analyst points to $2.4939 as the next key level to watch. This price marks the mid-level of a previous supply zone and a likely resistance area. The next bullish target for XRP is $2.6031. The analyst has described this point as a major supply zone where sellers previously gained control. These price zones are now considered primary targets for short-term traders positioning for potential upside.  FrankFx14 has urged traders to wait for further confirmation, highlighting that strong trading volume and candle closes above the $2.375 level would be the key to validating XRP’s bullish continuation.  Analyst Forecasts Mega Rally For The Altcoin XRP has officially broken out of a long-term Falling Wedge pattern, sparking optimism, with analysts like Crypto Avi believing that a mega rally could be on the horizon. According to his chart analysis, the token is now poised for a mid-term surge, targeting new all-time highs around $4.90.  Related Reading: When Will The XRP Price Explode? Timeline Shared By Crypto Pundit Presently trading at $2.29, a surge to this bullish target would represent a significant increase of 114% for the altcoin. The chart illustrates that the cryptocurrency has been trapped in a downward-sloping channel since late 2024, consolidating in a pattern seemingly recognized as bullish. XRP is currently testing the Falling Wedge’s breakout level, which may now act as support. A sustained move above this level could confirm the analyst’s bullish thesis, paving the way for a potential climb toward $4.90. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP is holding above critical support levels after weeks of steady gains, but continues to face resistance below the $2.65 mark. Despite struggling to break higher, price action remains constructive, and traders are closely watching for signs of a breakout. The market appears to be coiling for a decisive move, with both bulls and bears awaiting confirmation. Related Reading: Bitcoin Consolidates Below ATH – Buying Pressure Weakens As Equities Outperform Some analysts believe XRP is on the verge of a significant price surge, especially as broader market sentiment improves and Bitcoin stabilizes above key psychological levels. Top crypto analyst Ali Martinez added to this view by sharing a technical analysis that highlights a bullish setup emerging on XRP’s lower timeframes. A key indicator on the 1-hour chart has flashed multiple buy signals, typically associated with local bottoms and short-term rebounds. This setup suggests growing momentum beneath the surface and strengthens the bullish outlook, at least in the short term. If bulls can push through the $2.65 resistance, XRP may open the door for a rally toward previous highs. For now, the focus remains on whether this technical signal translates into a breakout or if further consolidation is needed before the next major move. XRP Builds Momentum On Lower Timeframes XRP is showing impressive resilience and remains one of the standout performers in the current market cycle. After a 50%+ rally from its April lows, XRP has retraced slightly from its local high near $2.80, yet continues to trade above key support levels. This retracement appears healthy given the scale of the recent move, and momentum remains firmly with the bulls, at least for now. Market sentiment around XRP is split. Some analysts are calling for the beginning of a new bullish phase, with expectations of massive upside fueled by renewed altcoin strength and institutional interest. Others, however, warn that the current price action may be a temporary bounce within a broader bearish trend and caution that failure to reclaim higher resistance zones could lead to a sharp correction. Despite the divided outlook, technical signals are leaning bullish in the short term. Martinez shared an update revealing that the TD Sequential indicator has printed multiple buy signals on XRP’s hourly chart. This tool is often used to identify trend reversals or continuation points, and in this case, it suggests that XRP could be gearing up for another leg higher. If bulls can reclaim the $2.80 level and push beyond recent highs, XRP may ignite further upside momentum and test major resistance levels around $3.00 and beyond. For now, all eyes are on how the price reacts to short-term signals—particularly the buy zone identified by TD Sequential—which may dictate the next move in this critical phase of XRP’s market structure. Related Reading: Ethereum Faces Resistance Against Bitcoin – ETH/BTC Bullish Structure In Question Price Analysis: Testing Key Support After Strong Rally XRP is currently consolidating around the $2.35 level after a strong rally earlier this month that saw the price surge to highs near $2.80. The chart shows that after reaching that local top, XRP has retraced but remains above its 200-day EMA ($2.04) and 200-day SMA ($2.18), both of which now act as dynamic support zones. This pullback appears to be part of a healthy correction following the sharp run-up, and the structure still favors the bulls as long as XRP holds above $2.20. Price action shows a potential base forming around the $2.35 zone, with decreasing volatility suggesting that the market may be coiling for its next move.

Onchain data shows that over $40 billion worth of XRP has been moved over the last week, which puts the altcoin on the edge. Specifically, these coins were transferred to exchanges, which indicates that XRP is at risk of a massive sell-off.  Over $40 Billion XRP Moved To Exchanges CryptoQuant data shows that over $40 billion has been moved to Binance this past week, with the exchange’s reserves surging during this period. This development is usually bearish as it indicates that investors are looking to offload their coins. This comes as the XRP price surged to as high as $2.6, which explains this wave of profit-taking.  Related Reading: XRP Reaching Oversold Levels As Net Flows Turn Negative, What’s Next? Moreover, crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that Bitcoin whales have secured profits, selling over 30,000 BTC this week. As such, XRP whales may be simply mirroring this move. Meanwhile, Bitcoinist reported that XRP is reaching oversold levels as net flows turn negative, with the wave of sell-offs heightening.  This selling pressure comes amid Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling in the Ripple SEC lawsuit, which provides a setback for XRP. The judge denied the parties’ motion for an indicative ruling because the filing was procedurally improper. The ruling also sparked a massive sell-off, with XRP dropping over 4%. XRP risks losing its bullish setup as Martinez revealed that the key support zone is at $2.38, meaning that a drop below this level could lead to a deeper correction. However, a hold above this level could set the altcoin for a rally to new highs as the analyst revealed that there are no major resistance clusters ahead. Crypto analyst CasiTrades had warned that XRP’s failure to hold above the $2.69 resistance could send its price towards $2.30 for a reset.  Altcoin Has Formed A Double Bottom Formation In an X post, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto revealed that XRP has formed a double bottom following the dip to $2.3126. He stated that the altcoin is still bouncing off the red descending trend line, showing resilience. The analyst added that the altcoin is experiencing some micro noise within the range between the Fibonacci 0.888 levels at $2.30 and $2.62.  Related Reading: XRP Price Set To Continue Uptrend As Stochastic RSI Moves Out Of Oversold Zone His accompanying chart showed that the key is for the XRP price to hold above the trendline at $2.3. A bounce from this level could send the altcoin as high as $3.8, near its current all-time high (ATH) of $3.84. Based on its historical performance, Egrag Crypto still expects the altcoin’s price to rally to between $27 and $33 in this market cycle.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.37, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP price is once again in the spotlight as a new technical analysis indicates that the cryptocurrency may be on the verge of a significant price explosion to $5.9 and beyond. According to the analyst behind this forecast, XRP’s recent price behavior is not a sign of weakness but rather a period of strategic consolidation that is building momentum for the next major surge.  Consolidation Phase To Fuel XRP Price Explosion  Master Ananda, a crypto analyst on TradingView, released a detailed analysis of XRP on May 15. The analysis highlights the cryptocurrency’s current price action and predicts its next bullish move. Starting with its historical price behavior, the analysis highlights a strong rally that took place in 2024, particularly around November and December, when XRP printed long green candles that indicated strong momentum. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Must Hold This Level For Bullish Continuation To $4.2 After reaching a high, XRP entered a consolidation phase, during which price action formed a pattern resembling a symmetrical triangle or wedge. This is marked with red dashed lines on the chart, showing indecision in the market as the price was suppressed.  Master Ananda revealed that after this triangle formation, XRP broke out around April  7, 2025 — a date now marked as a potential inflection point in the cryptocurrency’s market cycle. Since then, weekly candles have consistently closed in the green, indicating renewed bullish momentum.  Adding to Master Ananda’s bullish case for the XRP price is a Fibonacci retracement and extension levels drawn from the previous major swing high to the recent low. These levels help identify potential resistance and target zones for the next leg up.  Notably, the retracement levels have been marked around $2.05 (0.236 Fib), $2.39 (0.382 Fib), and $2.71 (0.618 Fib), culminating at the previous high of $3.40. Fibonacci extension project potential targets are at $4.50 (1.618 Fib), and the highest level is at $6.29 (2.618 Fib).  Currently, the trajectory of the curved green arrow in the chart shows a more probable price target of around $5.9. However, XRP will still have to surge past the aforementioned retracement levels and the resistance at $4.5 to reach this level. The overall takeaway of this analysis is that XRP is printing strong bullish signals, and its current consolidation is seen as a precursor to further growth.  The asset Approaches Make Or Break Zone XRP is entering a decisive phase, as crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicts an imminent breakout from a tight consolidation range, within which the cryptocurrency has been trading for months. The analyst’s chart shows a purple zone, which he described as a “pandora box.” This zone represents a critical price range acting as both resistance and support, effectively trapping price action. Related Reading: XRP Price Surge To $10: Analyst Reveals Factors That Will Make It Happen In 2025 Egrag Crypto emphasizes that a breakout above or below this boxed range could ignite high volatility and significant momentum for XRP.

XRP’s current price has been highlighted by a range of around $2.5 in the past three days. However, this low price hasn’t stopped the idea of an extravagant XRP price from being in the hearts of XRP bull traders and enthusiasts. Against this backdrop of growing confidence, a bold theory suggesting that XRP could surge to $10,000 has come up from a crypto analyst. This extravagant price point is much higher than most predictions based on technical analysis. Notably, this analyst leaned on XRP fundamentals with XRP to show a scenario where its price reaches this point. Analyst Predicts XRP Could Hit $10,000 Between 2027 And 2030 The theory, introduced by a crypto analyst named Remi Relief on the social media platform X, centers on a long-term vision of XRP reaching $10,000 due to widespread adoption in financial institutions and complete activation of its utility features. Related Reading: Analyst Says These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $1,000, But What Does Market Cap Say? In a post dated May 12, the analyst predicted that this massive XRP price point of $10,000 could materialize between 2027 and 2030. He clarified that the prediction wasn’t dependent on sudden events or institutional price setting but on the natural outcome of XRP functioning at its full potential in global financial systems. However, he also stated that such a price point could manifest as early as 2026. Building on the original post, the analyst has recently expanded on a more detailed vision of a $10,000 XRP. He claimed the existence of two separate XRP ledgers: one for the retail market and another accessible only to around 1,700 institutions and private entities operating under NDAs. According to him, these private participants could already be running tests with drastically different price levels, possibly including the $10,000 mark. He linked this development to recent progress in CBDC trials, especially in France. The analyst also referred to a report discussing the efficiency and performance of various digital currency and payment platforms in terms of Transactions Per Second (TPS) back in 2022. The report focused on CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) test networks. According to the report, the Ripple Private Ledger had a TPS of 1,500 in 2022 during tests for the digital Euro. Although Ripple is not yet at the operational scale of AliPay or the Hamilton Project, future projections of the blockchain’s TPS are still unknown. The Possibility Of A $10,000 Basement Price For The Altcoin The crypto analyst’s theory is based on a future where XRP underpins major financial operations at fixed high values across private networks. The most provocative element of the theory involves Ripple potentially setting a basement price for XRP at $10,000, which would never be breached.

Dave Portnoy, the outspoken founder of Barstool Sports, used his debut appearance at CoinDesk’s Consensus 2025 to train the conference spotlight XRP. Speaking on the Metro Toronto Convention Centre mainstage, Portnoy acknowledged that he bought the token for one reason only: fear of missing out. Joined on-stage by media strategist Sam Ewan, Portnoy opened with light banter about Toronto pizza—“North of Brooklyn still is, I would say, my favorite,” he insisted, giving “shout-out Bill the Greek, who’s like my chaperone for Toronto”—before turning to the market that drew thousands to Consensus. Pressed on whether the current cycle is dominated by so-called meme coins, Portnoy cut to the chase. “Even Bitcoin is, frankly, a memecoin,” he said. The remark set the tone for a discussion that oscillated between portfolio confessions and cultural critique. Related Reading: XRP Moves Into Key Range Against Bitcoin As 3 Major Targets Show Up When Ewan tried to pinpoint Portnoy’s boldest wager, the 47-year-old rattled off winners the way others recall birthdays: Axon stock at roughly $200 (now about $700, he noted), Michigan’s Rose Bowl triumph, and Scottie Scheffler capturing the Masters. Yet he called those victories “two different things” from the instant, couch-bound gratification of watching a line of green candles. “There’s something about it when you place a bet, you see Bitcoin go up, you see XRP go up, and you’re just sitting on your couch—‘I made that money not working.’ That’s a great feeling,” he admitted. Why XRP, Not Bitcoin Portnoy’s self-diagnosed FOMO emerged in sharper relief as the conversation turned to real estate. He recalled smashing his fist on a desk after being outbid on a Miami apartment by “a crypto bro” who “heard about Bitcoin when it was, I don’t know, eight bucks, seven bucks.” The episode, he said, crystallised the anxiety of missing an asymmetric trade: “I’ve slaved for twenty years and he just out-bid me.” Related Reading: XRP Surges Past Neckline—Analyst Projects Rally To $3.57 That same impulse, Portnoy confessed, now drives his position in XRP. “It’s what—two bucks forty cents or something like that? What if that’s the next Bitcoin?” he said, emphasising that his allocation reflects a speculative itch rather than a thesis about Ripple’s technology or tokenomics. “It’s FOMO. It’s not like I have some grand belief in it.” In perhaps the panel’s most revealing anecdote, Portnoy traced his fraught history with Bitcoin to a chance encounter: “I bought Bitcoin the first time for around $10,000 … the Winklevoss twins were staying next door to me at a hotel and they came and explained what Bitcoin was. It was the dumbest explanation I’d ever heard, and I sold it all right there.” The forfeited position—“about $2 million”—would have dwarfed every other win in his career, he conceded, underscoring the emotional swing between conviction and capitulation that defines many retail journeys through crypto’s boom-and-bust cycles. At press time, XRP traded at $2.40. Featured image from YouTube, chart from TradingView.com

Independent market technician Dom (@traderview2) has drawn the crypto community’s eye to an unconventional but increasingly watched ratio: XRP priced in West Texas Intermediate crude. The Link Between XRP And USOIL In a two-hour TradingView screenshot posted on 14 May, the analyst shows the XRP/USOIL pair fading—twice—in the exact same resistance shelf that has capped price action since mid-December. “Last night we tapped the five-month range high again and price rejected perfectly,” he wrote, adding that “it’s amazing how much we are respecting this level as it gives a clear zone bulls need to fully regain for the next impulse higher.” Since December last year, the XRP price has been hammered down six times in the exact same resistance area. On May 13, Dom wrote: “ Could you ask for a cleaner range? This chart should be in a textbook… We know the importance of this range high. If it breaks, the probability $XRP goes to a new ATH goes up drastically. We know what happened right after BTC / USOIL hit it’s ATH 2 weeks ago, I would expect something similar here. Patience, this needs steam to breakout here.” Related Reading: XRP Surges Past Neckline—Analyst Projects Rally To $3.57 That ceiling is circumscribed on Dom’s chart by a charcoal-grey block from roughly 0.0418 to 0.0430. Each of the last two probes into the band—one during Asian trade on 12 May, the second during the New-York session on 14 May—produced sharp downside wicks. Momentum, moreover, is flowing against heavy sell pressure in the spot token. Citing on-chain order-flow analytics, Dom highlighted that “$210 million of XRP has been net-market-sold over the past seven days—despite this, XRP is up twenty percent.” He argues that such divergence implies absorption by professional liquidity providers rather than retail exuberance: “Market makers or whales are likely soaking up aggressive asks through passive limit bids. When that dynamic persists, it usually precedes an explosive upside once sellers exhaust themselves.” Community members quickly asked what a definitive breakout could portend for XRP priced in dollars. One follower, The Standard (@Xrpdemon589), pressed: “Would you say if it breaks it, it will have another parabolic move up breaking ATH?” Dom responded, “If we see a full breakout, historically yes, it’s only time until XRP/USD prints a new high.” Related Reading: XRP Price Prediction: $36 Is In The Cards As 3-Month Timeframe Turns Bullish? Crypto commentator Moon Lambo (@MoonLamboio) queried the intellectual basis for linking an energy-based ratio to the standalone token. Dom conceded no fundamental thesis is proven, but stressed the analytical utility: “I really just think it provides another perspective of price action when we peg it to something deeply woven into the economic system. I don’t think there is any specific relationship—rather, it’s useful to see things you wouldn’t otherwise see on the USD pair.” Technically, the map is binary. Dom reiterated that he has “alerts set for a full breakout” above 0.0418–0.0430; any two-hour close in that region would, in his view, constitute decisive range expansion and “give bulls the runway for the next impulse higher.” Should buyers instead relinquish the amber pivot at 0.0394, the door reopens to 0.0378 minor support, with a break there exposing the 0.0357 floor and negating the current series of higher lows. Until either boundary yields, XRP/USOIL remains in its five-month box, but the very act of watching the pair, Dom contends, sharpens traders’ macro lens. “BTC, USOIL, XRP—combining them is just another way to triangulate liquidity,” he wrote. “Sometimes the edge is simply seeing the same market from a slightly different angle.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.46.

XRP has re-entered a pivotal trading range against Bitcoin (BTC), stirring up excitement as technical signals suggest a potential breakout. This move is reinforcing its bullish position, highlighting three major price targets that could confirm a larger macro rally.  XRP Sets Sights On Key Targets Against Bitcoin After months of consolidation, the XRP/BTC trading pair is now back inside a critical triangle formation, which market expert Egrag Crypto has identified as a key price range to watch for potential breakout or breakdown moves. The analyst shared a short-term XRP/BTC chart on X (formerly Twitter), explaining how important this price range is for the trading pair to hit new bullish targets and reach even larger goals.  Related Reading: XRP Analyst Highlights Ultimate Targets And Selling Strategy As XRP Price Rebounds This triangle structure, dating back years, acts as a roadmap for XRP/BTC’s potential breakout, but only if it successfully flips certain levels into support. The first major target highlighted by Egrag Crypto is $0.000003033, which represents the upper boundary of the triangle. A decisive breakout above this level would signal a structural shift, confirming a possible bullish breakout from the narrowing wedge.  The analyst’s second key target is $0.00003430, the local high from XRP/BTC’s last rally. This price level is crucial for momentum validation, as flipping this into support with strong volume would build strong confidence in the next upward move and show confirmation that it can hold above it. The third and most critical target the XRP/BTC pair is expected to reach is $0.00004300, which aligns with the Fibonacci 1.0 level and XRP/BTC’s previous cycle high. A move beyond this level suggests the beginning of a macro rally, unlocking access to higher Fibonacci extension levels, including:  1.272 Fib ($0.00007244) 1.414 Fib ($0.00009546) 1.618 Fib ($0.00014191) 1.888 Fib ($0.00030000) The Altcoin Must Hold Support Or Risk Macro Breakdown While Egrag Crypto’s breakout targets paint an optimistic picture, the XRP/BTC LTC analysis comes with a stark warning of a potential crash. The analyst has raised alarm bells, warning not to lose the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $0.00002032.  Related Reading: XRP Price To Break Out Of Consolidation: The Next Moonshot That Will Lead To $3 This support range acts as the last kind of defense for XRP/BTC’s bullish market structure. The analyst goes as far as to say, “Lose an arm, but don’t lose this range,” emphasizing the importance of maintaining this level. He further predicts that if the pair drops below this support level, it could see a decline to as low as $0.00000611. At the time of the analysis, XRP/BTC was trading at approximately $0.00002516, showing early signs of recovery after dipping below the triangle range. If bulls can defend this level and hold on to their upward momentum, the path toward flipping resistance levels into support becomes potentially clearer.  Egrag Crypto has also outlined potential price projections for the XRP based on the bullish scenario where the XRP/BTC pair reaches several upper Fibonacci levels and Bitcoin rallies to key milestones.  Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Crypto Michael, who called the XRP price surge when it was trading at $0.5, has predicted the altcoin’s next move. Based on his prediction, XRP is set to sustain its current bullish momentum and possibly rally to a new all-time high (ATH) soon with a breakout above $3.  Analyst Predicts XRP Price Surge Above $3 In an X post, Michael predicted a second parabolic rally once the XRP price breaks the psychological $3. The analyst made this prediction while revealing that he had called this current XRP rally while the altcoin was still trading at $0.5. Indeed, last year, he stated that a historic breakout was incoming for the altcoin.  Related Reading: XRP Price Outperforms Bitcoin, Ethereum As ‘Strange Signal’ Emerges, Why The Target Is $4 Back then, he highlighted a unique 7-year-long bull pennant that had formed for the XRP price. Based on that bullish pattern, the analyst remarked that market participants might be about to witness one of the most significant breakouts in crypto history. XRP eventually broke out and became the second-best-performing asset among the top 10 cryptos by market cap in 2024.  Crypto analyst CasiTrade recently stated that the XRP price could witness an explosive move above $3 if it breaks and holds above $2.69. This means the projected parabolic rally for XRP above the $3 mark could happen soon. This rally could send the altcoin above its current ATH of around $3.84.  Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also suggested that the XRP price will unlikely encounter any major resistance as it targets a run to a new ATH. In an X post, he cited Glassnode data as he revealed that XRP has no major resistance clusters ahead. Meanwhile, the analyst noted that the key support zone is $2.38.  A Rally To Double Digits In This Cycle? Several crypto analysts have predicted that the XRP price can rally to double digits in this market cycle. In an X post, Pepa stated that the plan stays the same for XRP. His accompanying chart showed that he expects the altcoin to rally to as high as $30 by year-end or the start of next year.  Related Reading: XRP Price To Rally To $6: Partially Completed Wave 5 Says There’s Still Room To Run Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto also recently alluded to a previous analysis in which he predicted that the XRP price would reach $28 by year-end 2025. This move is expected to mark Wave 5 on his Elliott Wave Theory analysis. Similarly, analyst Egrag Crypto stated that XRP will reach between $27 and $33 in this cycle. Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto offered a more conservative target, predicting that the altcoin will reach between $4 and $6 in this cycle.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.52, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.  Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

In a recent post on X, market analyst Andrew Griffiths pointed out that XRP has faced notable rejection at two consecutive resistance levels, first near $2.65, followed by another rejection at $2.57. The inability to hold above $2.57 on the second attempt is particularly telling, as it indicates that sellers may be stepping in earlier, defending lower levels. This pattern raises the risk of a deeper retracement if bullish support doesn’t re-enter the market soon. Volume And Price Divergence At Resistance To provide further context on his recent analysis of XRP, Andrew Griffiths highlighted a critical divergence in volume between recent highs, which might signal a potential weakening in bullish momentum. As XRP reached higher price levels over the past few days, the accompanying trading volume has been progressively decreasing, suggesting that the market’s enthusiasm for higher price levels is fading. This volume-price divergence raises concerns that the upward momentum may not be sustainable without additional support. Related Reading: XRP Price Rejected At Resistance: Why $2.69 Holds The Key Griffiths highlighted the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which still suggests there could be potential for further upward movement in XRP’s price. The RSI remains in a favorable zone, indicating that the market may continue to see bullish pressure, especially if it can break certain resistance levels.  However, Griffiths also expressed caution, acknowledging that while the RSI suggests upside potential, the weakening volume makes him reluctant to commit fully to the bullish side just yet. He emphasized the need for confirmation, either through stronger buying volume or a more sustained price move. If XRP fails to sustain its current price levels, Griffiths suggested that a pullback to earlier trend zones is likely, where price could find support and possibly consolidate. Such a move would not necessarily spell the end of the bullish trend but rather signal an opportunity for a better entry point at lower levels. XRP Rejection Signals Growing Uncertainty Among Traders Andrew Griffiths concluded his analysis by highlighting that uncertainty presently reigns in the market, making it difficult to predict the immediate direction of XRP’s price action. While the cryptocurrency has experienced some bullish movement, the mixed signals from volume divergence and resistance rejections have created a situation where neither the bulls nor the bears appear to have full control.  Related Reading: XRP Sees Renewed Trader Activity as Market Absorbs Selling Pressure In terms of key levels, Griffiths identified $2.37 as a critical short-term support level that could provide some stability if prices start to retrace. This level has previously served as an important point of support during earlier pullbacks. Should the price hold above this support zone, there’s still potential for a consolidation phase or a continuation of the upward trend if buying pressure picks up again. However, if XRP fails to defend this key level, it could signal downside risk, with a move toward the next support zones. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Market sentiment around the XRP price is flipping bullish as technical indicators and recent chart movements suggest a promising upward trajectory over the next three months. With momentum building, a crypto analyst is now eyeing a potential rally that could push XRP as high as $36.  According to a new prediction posted by crypto analyst Dark Defender on X (formerly Twitter), the XRP price is gearing up for a potentially explosive surge to $36.  XRP Price Forecasted To Reach $36 The chart analysis shows that XRP has broken through a crucial three-month resistance trendline that has capped its price action since its 2018 peak. This breakout signals a powerful shift in market structure, indicating that the long-standing bearish trend may be over.  Related Reading: XRP Price Repeating History? 2017-Like Rally To Send Price To $10 Dark Defender’s three-month candlestick chart applies the Elliott Wave Theory, mapping out a five-wave bullish structure. The analysis shows that Waves 1 and 2 have already played out, and XRP now appears to be entering Wave 3, which is typically seen as the strongest and longest wave.  If this Wave 3 pattern holds, XRP could be on the verge of its most powerful rally yet. According to Dark Defender, the upside target could reach as high as $36.76, representing a staggering 423.6% increase.  Before XRP reaches this projected price level, Dark Defender has forecasted short—to long-term bullish targets for the cryptocurrency. In the short term, XRP could reach $3.33, with a mid-term goal of $5.85.  Additional milestones along the way include key percentage gain levels that may act as interim resistance zones. A 161.8% gain points to a potential price of around $13.81, while a 261.8% surge suggests a move toward $18.96. If momentum continues, the token could push further to $26.87, aligning with a 361.8% increase.  On the downside, support levels at $2.3620 and $2.222 are expected to act as strongholds in case of any retracement before continuation. Moving forward, Dark Defender has doubled down on his bullish stance on XRP’s future outlook, referencing a tweet dated March 17 that boldly declared, “XRP is extremely bullish.” Clear Path Ahead For The Altcoin As Resistance Thins Out  In an X post released on May 13, Ali Martinez, a prominent crypto analyst, disclosed that on-chain data from Glassnode shows a clear bullish path for XRP, with no signs of major resistance clusters ahead. The analysis based on the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) indicates that a significant portion of XRP tokens were last moved at lower price levels.  Related Reading: XRP Price Macro Channel Breakout That Puts Targets At $17-$55 The chart also highlights a significant support zone at $2.38, where nearly 1.85 billion XRP, amounting to 2.92% of its supply, were last transacted. This concentration of holders could serve as a psychological and technical support level if the market pulls back. Moreover, the absence of large token holdings at higher price ranges suggests that the price could experience a smoother ascent, unburdened by major resistance from profit-takers.

XRP is facing a strong resistance level on its path to the $3 price level and above, with the past 24 hours witnessing some sort of rejection at this resistance level. XRP price action has gradually built momentum in May, leading to a sharp move toward the upper $2.60 range. On May 12, XRP briefly touched $2.63 before retreating slightly, now trading around $2.57. Directly ahead is the major resistance at $2.69, and technical analysis shows that this zone now holds the key to whether XRP can continue its march toward $3.00 or undergo a pullback for consolidation.  $2.69 Resistance Is Technical For XRP Price Crypto analyst CasiTrades has highlighted the $2.69 price point as an important resistance level for the XRP price moving forward. According to the analyst’s chart, which accompanied a post on social media platform X, this level represents the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement from XRP’s all-time high and is a key level to watch for correction.  Related Reading: XRP Price Marks Confluence Support, Technical Indicators Put Next Stop At $3 Notably, this zone has led to multiple retracements since December 2024, with each attempt seeing sellers quickly step in to defend it. It even proved difficult to break when XRP broke to reach $3.3 in January, and an order block was created on the daily candlestick timeframe just before the ensuing rally above it. As noted by the crypto analyst, momentum indicators have remained relatively muted during XRP’s recent rally. The crypto has also completed what appears to be a full 5-wave Elliott count from the analyst. However, instead of a retracement, the price has pressed forward slowly alongside the rest of the crypto market. This slow, controlled push higher often signals strong underlying demand, strong trend, and heavy accumulation. As it stands, the only thing left to do is to see how the XRP price performs at the $2.69 resistance. Breakout Or Rejection: Two Opposite Outcomes With High Impact The analyst warns that the $2.69 level could be a final barrier before XRP is cleared for a run toward $3.00 and beyond. A confirmed breakout, ideally with a strong daily candle close above this level, would invalidate short-term bearish pressures and cause a run above this level. Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Bullish Path To $5 As Long As This Level Holds However, if $2.69 once again proves too strong for bulls to overcome, the altcoin may enter a temporary cooling-off phase. In this case, the next logical support level is around $2.30, which is close to the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level. This is another breakout/rebound zone that could offer a healthy reset for the XRP price.  In either scenario, the price behavior at $2.69 is expected to set the tone for the rest of May and determine whether XRP can extend its 2025 bullish trend. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.57, up 4% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Veteran wave technician “BigMike7335” (@Michael_EWpro) argues that the XRP token has just completed a textbook reversal on the daily chart. In a post that accompanied the chart shown below, the strategist quipped, “While you were busy being all excited about COIN being added to ES, XRP decided to breakout.” XRP Breakout Confirmed The annotated Bitstamp daily shows price clawing back to $2.5717, a 21% gain over the last seven sessions that decisively lifts the token through a six-month neckline sitting fractionally above $2.40. That horizontal barrier—coloured red on the chart—coincides with the top of a thin, downward-slanted Ichimoku cloud. Thursday’s close placed the candle not only above the Kumo but also above the 50-day EMA (orange), the 100-day EMA (aqua) and the 200-day SMA (dark blue), stacking the moving-average ribbon in a classic bullish configuration. The thrust completes an inverted head-and-shoulders that formed inside wave (iv) of a larger five-wave advance. The April swing low almost tagged the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement of the entire November-to-February impulse at $1.56732; wave “c” of that corrective leg created the pattern’s head, with symmetric shoulders in mid-March and early-May. Measured-move arithmetic from the formation’s $0.80 depth projects approximately $3.58—Big Mike boxes the target at $3.57638, exactly where the white arrow terminates on his chart and where the dashed vertical line identifies Wednesday, 18 June 2025 as a plausible time window. Related Reading: XRP Target Could Be $15 If This Pattern Is In Play, Analyst Says Market-profile data on the right flank strengthen the case: the heaviest volume node (green and tan bars) sits between $2.30 and $2.50, meaning the breakout thrust has already cleared the zone of greatest historical order flow. Above $2.80 the profile thins dramatically, implying scant overhead supply until the prior cycle’s upper channel rail near $3.00 and, ultimately, the $3.57 objective. Momentum gauges back the move. Daily RSI has reclaimed the 60-line and is rising briskly without yet entering overbought territory, while the stochastic oscillator has punched through its signal line and is accelerating toward the upper band—confirmation that impulse rather than mere short covering is at work. Related Reading: XRP Chart Hits Critical Level That ‘Opens The Sky,’ Analyst Warns Key risk markers remain below. Dashed support at $1.66027—the lower edge of the December–May broadening wedge—remains key; a failure to hold that level would invalidate the breakout thesis. Until then, the chart now offers bullish traders a classic post-neckline retest scenario, with the analyst eyeing $3.57 as the technical terminus of wave (v). For now, XRP bulls finally have a structure that justifies optimism—and, as Big Mike notes, they did it while the rest of the market was distracted by the inclusion of Coinbase (COIN) in the S&P 500 on Tuesday. At press time, XRP traded at $2.60. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst BarriC has asserted that an XRP price rally to between $10 and $20 would only be the start for the altcoin. The analyst still expects XRP to rally to four digits and has in the past explained why he believes such an ambitious price target is possible.  XRP Price To Still Rally To $1,000 In an X post, BarriC stated that a potential XRP price rally to between $10 and $20 is just the beginning. He added that the long game for the altcoin is $1,000. The analyst urged market participants to be prepared for life-changing and generational wealth. In his other X posts, BarriC provided a roadmap for how it can reach four digits.  Related Reading: Analyst Says These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $1,000, But What Does Market Cap Say? In one post, he stated that once the XRP price reclaims $3, it will move rapidly to $5. The analyst predicts that the altcoin will then skyrocket into double digits, sitting comfortably at between $10 and $20 as a new all-time high. However, BarriC believes that is just the start for XRP as it will still reach $100 and then $1,000.  He asserted that these price targets for XRP will happen much sooner than people think. In another post, the analyst alluded to banks using XRP as one factor that could spark this XRP price surge. BarriC stated that the fact that investors can still accumulate the altcoin at around $2 means that banks aren’t utilizing it yet.  The analyst said that once banks and financial institutions worldwide adopt and utilize XRP in the way they conduct finance, the altcoin will skyrocket to $1,000. He referenced the 2017 bull cycle when the token’s price went from $0.006 to $3.80, which is why he is confident that such a parabolic surge is possible.  The Altcoin Approaching Key Resistance Levels In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that the XRP price is approaching key resistance levels following its latest surge. She highlighted $2.69 as the major resistance, as this price level is also the .236 Fib retracement from the all-time high (ATH) and a key level to watch for a correction.  Related Reading: XRP Price To $1,000: Analyst Reveals Target For When Banks Start Using XRP Commenting on the current price action, she noted that what stands out is the continued price increase despite low momentum and a completed 5-wave count. The analyst remarked that this slow, controlled push higher often signals strong underlying demand, strong trend, and heavy accumulation.  CasiTrades stated that if the XRP price breaks and holds above $2.69, it would open the door for an explosive move toward $3. However, if the altcoin doesn’t hold this level, she claimed it could record a short-term dip toward $2.30 for a reset.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.50, up almost 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP has gained significant momentum over the past several days, posting a sharp 24% rally since last week as bullish sentiment returns to the broader crypto market. With Bitcoin holding above $100K and Ethereum reclaiming the $2,200 mark, altcoins like XRP are beginning to show strength after months of subdued performance. Analysts are now calling for a potential breakout, emphasizing the importance of XRP reclaiming key resistance levels in the coming days to confirm a sustained move higher. Related Reading: Ethereum Recovery Gains Strength: Massive Comeback Above Key Support Fueling this optimism is new data from Glassnode revealing a dramatic surge in XRP Futures Open Interest. The metric has climbed over $1 billion in just one week, rising from $2.42 billion to $3.42 billion—a 41.6% increase. This spike suggests a growing wave of speculative interest and directional conviction among traders. As leverage builds, all eyes are on XRP’s next move to determine whether this momentum can evolve into a full-blown rally. The rise in open interest alongside price appreciation often points to sustained bullish intent, adding weight to calls for a continued surge. With volatility returning to the altcoin market, XRP could be gearing up for one of its most critical breakouts in months. XRP Leads With Strong Momentum And Rising Leverage XRP is emerging as one of the strongest performers in the market, displaying remarkable resilience during recent downtrends and now showing clear strength in the current bullish environment. After consolidating through volatile conditions, XRP has surged above the $2.50 level, firmly positioning itself as a leader among large-cap altcoins. The price action remains tight, with bulls continuing to test the $2.60 zone while bears are unable to push the price below the new support levels formed near $2.35. This price compression, combined with broader market optimism, suggests that XRP may be gearing up for a major move. With Bitcoin consolidating near its all-time highs and Ethereum testing crucial resistance zones, analysts are paying close attention to XRP’s trajectory. The altcoin market is heating up, and XRP’s technical structure hints at a bullish expansion phase if current levels are maintained or reclaimed with volume. Supporting this bullish outlook is recent data from Glassnode, showing that XRP Futures Open Interest has soared by over $1 billion in the past week. It jumped from $2.42 billion to $3.42 billion—a 41.6% increase—coinciding with a price rally from $2.14 to $2.48. This surge in leverage underscores growing speculative interest and strong directional conviction among traders. Elevated open interest, particularly when paired with upward price movement, often signals sustained momentum and institutional participation. With XRP firmly above key support and showing signs of renewed investor confidence, the next few sessions could be pivotal for determining whether XRP will finally break out into a new macro trend. Related Reading: Ethereum Hits Major Level After Biggest Weekly Candle In Years – What Comes Next? Price Action Signals Strength Amid Market Momentum XRP is showing strong bullish momentum as it continues to trend higher, currently trading around $2.55. The chart reveals a well-established uptrend, with XRP recently breaking above key resistance levels and holding above both the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA), currently at $2.13 and $2.02, respectively. This alignment of moving averages below the current price reinforces the bullish structure. Over the past two weeks, XRP has surged more than 24%, confirming higher lows and higher highs in the process. After briefly stalling at $2.60, the price is now consolidating with low volatility just below that level—indicating potential for another breakout if buying pressure resumes. Volume also picked up significantly during the initial leg of this move, signaling strong interest from market participants.

XRP’s price action in the past seven days has been nothing short of impressive. The cryptocurrency reached above $2.6 again in the past 24 hours, the first time doing so since early March, about two months ago. This movement has aligned with the uptrend projected by multiple analysts, who are referencing Fibonacci levels to chart XRP’s future trajectory. Notably, a crypto analyst’s interesting outlook on social media platform X using Fibonacci levels suggests that XRP will reach $8.40 and $27 this cycle. Analyst Points To Fibonacci Targets At $8.40 and $27 XRP’s price structure in the current cycle has been significantly shaped by its breakout above a tightening wedge formation, which had compressed price action from 2021 through the early months of 2024. This formation, clearly visible on the monthly candlestick timeframe, served as a multi-year consolidation zone that capped upward momentum and defined a range-bound market.  Related Reading: XRP Price At $9 In September: Gann Angle Resistance Grid Predicts Surge The eventual breakout from this structure ended a prolonged bear market and began a fresh bullish phase. Although the past few months have been full of corrections and consolidations after XRP reached $3.31 in January, recent market momentum points to the next leg upward. A crypto analyst on social media platform X has pointed to two Fibonacci extension levels that could serve as the target zones during XRP’s next impulsive wave up. According to the analysis, XRP reached both its 1.272 and 1.618 Fibonacci extension targets in the last cycle after breaking from a similar multi-year wedge accumulation structure in 2017. Interestingly, this move in 2017, leading up to the current price action, is part of the same Elliott wave count structure. As shown in the chart, XRP launched from a low of $0.00310 in 2017 to an all-time high of $3.40 in 2018 during its third wave (labeled (3)), hitting both Fibonacci extension levels of 1.272 and 1.618 before retracing in wave four.  According to the analyst, the current price action since 2020 constitutes the formation of the fifth impulse wave. Applying the same extension logic to the current structure from the 2020 low of $0.11379, a move to these Fibonacci extensions points to a target of $8.40 at 1.272 and $27.23 at the 1.618 extension. XRP To Reach $8.40 Or Even $27 This Market Cycle? Whether XRP can realistically surge to $8.40 or even $27 during this market cycle is yet to be seen. Although the 2017 to 2018 rally where XRP climbed over 1,000% in a matter of weeks offers a compelling case, market conditions today are more complex. The amount of inflows and trading volume needed to push the XRP price to such levels would be far greater than those witnessed before.  Related Reading: XRP Price Cross That Led To 20x Rally In 2017 Returns However, from a technical perspective, these Fibonacci targets can be reached when considering how similar price structures have behaved in the past. An example is the rally from $0.00310 to over $3.40 in 2017. One similar analysis from crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggests that the XRP price could reach $15 very soon. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.50, up by 3.4% in the past 24 hours with an intraday high of $2.61. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP price action on lower timeframes, specifically under the 4-hour mark, remains notably uncertain, with erratic fluctuations and a lack of clear directional bias. However, a deeper analysis reveals that the broader structure on the 4-hour chart is offering more constructive insights. Despite the choppy short-term moves, the 4-hour timeframe maintains a bullish formation, suggesting that underlying momentum may be building.  The Bigger Picture For XRP A key insight shared by market analyst Andrew Griffiths suggests that a decisive move toward the bullish order block between 2.3907 and 2.3277, coupled with strong bearish momentum, could indicate the early signs of a structural breakdown. Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes Breakout: Can It Shatter Resistance and Reignite the Rally? In his recent post on X, Griffiths emphasized that this price zone has historically acted as a significant area of demand, where buyers typically step in to defend support. However, if sellers dominate this region and the price fails to hold, it could signal a shift in market dynamics, potentially invalidating the current bullish setup. Despite this technical vulnerability, the overall crypto market sentiment continues to lean bullish. Bitcoin’s dominance remains firm, while the TOTAL2 chart, which reflects the performance of altcoins excluding Bitcoin, maintains a bullish market structure.  These broader trends support the idea that current weakness may be a temporary shakeout rather than the start of a deeper reversal. As such, price action around the order block is key, as it could serve as a turning point in the days ahead. Trade Setup: Waiting for Confirmation at Key Levels Andrew Griffiths outlined a strategic trading approach centered around the 4-hour bullish order block between 2.3907 and 2.3277. According to Griffiths, a price test of this zone, if accompanied by weak bearish momentum, could present a favorable buying opportunity.  Related Reading: Analyst Says These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $1,000, But What Does Market Cap Say? This aligns with his personal trading methodology, which focuses on identifying high-probability entries where price reacts to key levels with signs of exhaustion from the opposing side. For traders looking to capitalize on potential long setups, this zone may serve as an ideal area for entry, provided certain conditions align. Signs such as decreasing sell volume, long lower wicks (indicating rejection), or bullish candlestick formations within or just above the zone may act as confirmation of weakening bearish pressure.  Griffiths also emphasizes the importance of waiting for a clear reaction, rather than preemptively entering a position, to reduce the risk of a deeper breakdown. A well-placed stop-loss just below the lower boundary of the order block (2.3277) could offer a favorable risk-reward ratio, especially if the broader trend resumes to the upside.

An analyst has explained how XRP could end up targeting the $15 mark if this pattern is the governing one behind the latest price breakout. XRP Was Trading Inside A Symmetrical Triangle Earlier In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about where XRP could be heading next based on a technical analysis (TA) pattern. The pattern in question is a Symmetrical Triangle, which forms when an asset consolidates between two trendlines approaching each other at a roughly equal and opposite slope. Related Reading: New Bitcoin Whales Sitting On 185% Higher Cost Basis Than HODLer Whales, Data Shows The top line of the triangle connects together successive lower highs in the price, and the bottom one higher lows. Like with other TA consolidation patterns, the former trendline is likely to provide resistance during a retest, while the latter one supports. A break out of either of these lines can imply a continuation of the trend in that direction. Naturally, an escape above the triangle is bullish, while a fall under it is bearish. As the price consolidates inside a Symmetrical Triangle, its range gets narrower with time, until it shrinks to a point at the apex. Thus, as the asset travels toward the end of the triangle, it can become more likely to find a breakout. The Symmetrical Triangle isn’t the only type of triangle that exists in TA. Two other popular variations are the Ascending and Descending Triangles, which emerge when one of the trendlines is parallel to the time-axis. As the names of these patterns already suggest, they involve consolidation toward a net upside and downside, respectively. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the Symmetrical Triangle that XRP was potentially trading inside for years before a breakout: As displayed in the above graph, XRP was nearing the apex of this long-term Symmetrical Triangle last year, meaning a breakout was becoming probable. And indeed, with the bull rally during the last couple of months of the year, the coin managed to find a break above the pattern. Related Reading: Bitcoin Derivatives In The Driver’s Seat For $100,000 Rally, Data Shows Generally, breakouts resulting from a triangular pattern are assumed to be of the same length as the height of the triangle itself. Based on the height of this Symmetrical Triangle, a potential bullish target could lie at around $15 for the cryptocurrency. Naturally, this target would only hold if the trajectory that XRP is currently following is truly based on this Symmetrical Triangle. In the scenario that the pattern does end up being the governing one and the coin observes a bull run to this level, it would have seen an increase of more than 500% from the current price. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $2.45, up around 3% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, charts from TradingView.com

In a fresh update posted on X, market strategist Dom (@traderview2) argues that a single, well-defined technical line now holds the key to XRP’s next directional move. His six-hour TradingView chart shows the Binance XRP/USDT pair peaking at $2.48-2.50 overnight before stalling precisely at the volume-weighted average price anchored to the 2018 all-time high (the so-called “ATH VWAP”, plotted in green). Since late January that dynamically descending VWAP has capped every significant rally attempt and, on four separate occasions, triggered immediate, high-velocity rejections. The latest foray produced a brief spike to $2.4082 (session high) and a settling price of $2.3644, leaving a clear upper wick just beneath the VWAP. Dom calls the reaction “expected” given the pair’s very clean technical memory, but he also stresses that the market has already reclaimed a critical intermediate pivot: the quarterly VWAP at roughly $2.30. Related Reading: XRP Must Close Above These Price Levels To Invalidate Bearish Forecast – Analyst That level, the analyst notes, is now being “back-tested” intraday; a successful hold there would leave price wedged between converging support at $2.30 and resistance at the ATH VWAP near $2.48-2.50. A decisive close above the latter would, in Dom’s words, “open the sky for a larger breakout” by removing the final barrier that has contained XRP since its early-January high near $3.50. Massive XRP Breakout Coming? Order-flow data backs the bulls’ case. Dom has been tracking aggregated net flows by trade size and finds that tickets of 10,000–50,000 XRP and 50 000+ XRP have flipped firmly positive over the past three days, while smaller clips (100–1,000 and 1,000–10,000 XRP) have turned net-negative. “Little fish have sold the rip and bigger money has been behind it,” he wrote, adding that the dataset cannot distinguish between retail and institutional wallets but “very unlikely” points to exchange internalisation. Related Reading: Why Is XRP Up Today? Key Reasons Revealed Broader market context corroborates the sense of a maturing impulse. A separate CoinGlass heat-map of perpetual-swap annualised funding rates that Dom shared plots twenty-seven large-capitalisation altcoins from November through May. The graphic highlights two periods – late November to 9 December and the first weeks of May. The December cluster coincided with the “top of alts”, and he argues that the current cluster represents the most intense speculative pressure since that episode. “Strongest move in the altcoin market since November and funding looks like this… I said it last week and I’ll say it again. Hated rally,” Dom argues. Against that backdrop, the immediate technical roadmap remains binary. XRP must first defend the $2.30 quarterly VWAP, a level that has switched from resistance to support within the last forty-eight hours. Hold that shelf and traders will continue to probe the ATH VWAP ceiling. Lose it, and the path of least resistance swings back toward the mid-$2.00s congestion that defined most of April. But should bulls finally force acceptance above the descending VWAP – a feat they have not achieved once this year – the analyst sees little in the way of overhead supply until the mid-$2.70s, the lower boundary of the late-January distribution block. As Dom concludes, “Acceptance above ATH VWAP opens the sky for a larger breakout.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.46. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Following the XRP price’s stellar performance in the current bull cycle, a crypto analyst has now predicted that the value of the third-largest cryptocurrency could soon soar to $10 or more in 2025. This bullish projection is backed by several key factors expected to drive strong demand and boost global adoption.  Factors That Could Push XRP Price To $10 Unlike past cycles, when XRP pumped toward the tail end of the bull market, this time, it has emerged as one of the top-performing altcoins early on. Expanding on this impressive performance, X (formerly Twitter) crypto analyst and XRP supporter Edo Farina has shared a video analysis of the cryptocurrency, predicting the token’s potential price outlook and outlining different factors that could drive this surge.  Related Reading: Analyst Says These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $1,000, But What Does Market Cap Say? The analyst has highlighted the influence of Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D), which he sees as a critical indicator for altcoin movements. According to him, BTC.D currently remains relatively high. However, historically, the dominance dropped from 40% to 30%, marking the onset of the altcoin season. This expected drop in Bitcoin’s Dominance could serve as the trigger for a broader altcoin market breakout, positioning the XRP price for a potential 4X rally from current levels. According to Farina, a 4X jump from $2.39 could easily propel XRP toward the $10 mark.  Key to this optimism and bullish outlook is the recent resolution of the lawsuit between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple. With legal battles seemingly behind it, XRP is no longer classified as a security in the US, giving Ripple the green light to offer the token to financial institutions. Farina has suggested that this newfound regulatory clarity is expected to bolster investor confidence and lay the groundwork for global adoption. Achieving a $10 price point will also require more than a shift in market sentiment. Farina explains that it will depend heavily on XRP’s integration into the global financial system. The analyst argues that XRP must become the cornerstone, especially in cross-border payments and Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. Ripple has already taken significant steps in this direction, reportedly playing a role in the roll-out of the digital Euro.  Ripple is also making strategic acquisitions, such as its acquisition of Hidden Road and the potential  purchase of Circle, which could exponentially expand its influence in traditional finance. The analyst further notes that the possible launch of XRP ETFs could significantly impact the token’s price dynamics. If approved by the SEC and more ETFs hit the market, investor demand is expected to skyrocket, potentially driving prices toward or even beyond $10 in 2025. How Much Will 1,000 XRP Be Worth In 2025? In his analysis, Farina estimated how much 1,000 XRP could be worth in 2025 if its price surges to $10 and above. At $10, a modest holding of 1,000 XRP would be worth $10,000.  Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Bullish Path To $5 As Long As This Level Holds If financial adoption accelerates as Farina projects, XRP could climb well beyond $10, potentially reaching $100. In that scenario, a 1,000 XRP bag could soar to $100,000 profit, potentially offering life-changing returns for long-term investors. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP is now trading above the $2.35 mark, gaining momentum as bulls aim to break through critical resistance on the way to a potential all-time high. This move comes as the broader crypto market enters a new bullish phase, with Bitcoin soaring past $100K and Ethereum reclaiming the $2,200 zone in a sharp rally. XRP, long viewed as lagging behind majors, now shows notable relative strength compared to other altcoins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Entry Prices Diverge Sharply – Confidence Builds At Higher Levels Analysts are turning their focus to XRP as it attempts to sustain this breakout, with some calling for a rally that could finally close the gap toward previous cycle highs. Supporting the bullish case is new on-chain data from Santiment, revealing that XRP whales have returned aggressively, accumulating over 880 million tokens in the past month alone. This surge in accumulation by large holders suggests growing confidence in XRP’s trajectory and is often a signal that smart money is positioning early ahead of a major move. If current momentum holds and XRP clears its immediate resistance levels, it could be set for a powerful continuation. All eyes are now on the $2.50–$2.80 range, where market dynamics could accelerate rapidly. XRP Builds Strength As Whales Accumulate And Momentum Rises XRP is now standing out as one of the most resilient assets in the crypto market, showing notable strength during recent uptrends and consistent support through broader market corrections. Currently trading above the $2.00 level, XRP is positioned at a critical point where bullish and bearish forces are clashing. The broader market is also heating up, with Bitcoin trading above $100K and Ethereum holding the $2,200 zone after a breakout. XRP’s relative strength, however, is what’s catching the attention of analysts and traders. According to top analyst Ali Martinez, on-chain data reveals that whales have accumulated over 880 million XRP tokens in the past month. This level of accumulation is typically a bullish signal and suggests that large players are positioning themselves ahead of a possible rally. Still, macroeconomic uncertainty lingers in the background. With ongoing trade tensions between the US and China and an increasingly sensitive global financial environment, investor sentiment remains fragile. If Bitcoin holds its ground and altcoin momentum persists, XRP could be one of the top beneficiaries. As XRP continues to trade near a pivotal range, the coming days will be essential in determining the next phase. A decisive move above $2.35 could open the door to a strong upward expansion, while holding support above $2.00 will be crucial to prevent a retracement. Backed by whale activity and growing interest from traders, XRP is once again on the radar as a potential leader in the next leg of the crypto bull cycle. Related Reading: Ethereum Breaks Key Resistance In One Massive Move – Higher High Confirms Momentum Price Tests Breakout Zone As It Pushes Above Resistance XRP is showing promising momentum after breaking above the $2.35 level and now trades at $2.36, signaling renewed bullish strength. This move comes as XRP tests the upper range of a consolidation structure that has been forming since late March. The price action is supported by a consistent uptrend of higher lows, which is now pressing against long-standing resistance. The 200-day SMA ($2.10) and EMA ($2.00) both remain below the current price, reinforcing the strength of the ongoing trend. Volume has increased notably over the past few sessions, a sign that buyers are stepping in with confidence. A decisive daily close above $2.38–$2.40 would confirm a breakout and open the path toward retesting the previous highs around $3.00 and potentially new all-time highs. Conversely, a rejection here could lead to another retest of the ascending trendline around $2.15.

Bulls appear to be regaining control over the market again as the XRP price gears up for a potential rally to $6. According to a crypto analyst, this forecast is rooted in the Elliott Wave Theory, which indicates that Wave 5, which is the final and usually the most explosive leg up, is getting ready to run.  Elliott Wave 5 Signals XRP Price Explosion In one of his latest Elliott Wave analyses, X (formerly Twitter) crypto expert Dark Defender forecasts a powerful rally for the XRP price, suggesting that the third-largest cryptocurrency could skyrocket to $6 soon. According to the analysis, XRP has been moving in a predictable wave structure since February 2025, and recent price action confirms the partial completion of the monthly Wave 5 bull pattern.  Related Reading: XRP Price At $9 In September: Gann Angle Resistance Grid Predicts Surge The chart shows that since February, XRP has been following what Dark Defender refers to as the ”green path,” aligning with the expected trajectory of the Monthly Wave 4. This wave has recently concluded after unfolding into five smaller sub-waves, highlighting a precise and structured technical behavior.  The fourth sub-wave peaked at around $2.36, a level previously identified as a key confirmation point. As predicted, the XRP price bounced off this level before retracing to $2.07, forming the final leg of sub-wave 5 of the monthly Wave 4.  XRP’s current bullish setup reveals that the monthly Wave 5 is now in its early stages, with the drop to $2.07 possibly marking the bottom of the corrective structure. Dark Defender emphasizes that while Wave 5 has already begun, the larger upward move still awaits full confirmation, indicating that there may be significant room left for XRP to rally.  Technical projections place the potential upside target of this Wave 5 near $6.85, representing a sharp bullish breakout if market momentum aligns with the expectations of the wave structure.  Analyst Says The Real Bull Rally Is About To Begin The XRP price is approaching a major technical breakout, as crypto analyst CW highlights the emergence of a classic bull flag pattern. After experiencing months of consolidation, the analyst suggests that the next explosive leg in XRP’s price action may be around the corner.  Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Bullish Path To $5 As Long As This Level Holds The daily chart reveals a clear bull flag structure, formed after XRP’s powerful rally in 2024 when its price jumped from $0.5 to over $2. This aggressive and unexpected move created the flagpole, followed by a multi-month period of consolidation, forming the descending flag pattern.  Now, XRP is testing the upper boundary of the bull flag, trading just above $2.36 at the time of the analysis. A decisive breakout and close above the resistance trendline could trigger a fresh wave of bullish momentum. According to CW, this breakout would mark the beginning of a true bull rally for XRP.

The XRP price is at a make-or-break moment as it struggles to hold a critical technical level as it navigates broader market uncertainty. In a recent report, a crypto analyst issued a stark warning for XRP holders, highlighting that the cryptocurrency risks crashing to $1.9 if it fails to clear a key price level. XRP Price Risks Falling To $1.9 According to an analysis presented by crypto analyst ’Dom’ on X (formerly Twitter), the XRP price could be gearing up for a major crash soon. The analyst revealed that the cryptocurrency has recently tested the apex of a 100-day descending trendline—a zone that also coincided with the election Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and the monthly rolling VWAP.  Related Reading: XRP Price To $1.5 Or $4? The Bull And Bear Case Revealed This convergence of technical indicators has become a critical battle station between bulls and bears. While buyers attempt to halt any further declines and push the XRP price higher, the rejection at this apex signals weakness and raises the risk of a downside move.  The analyst’s chart shows that XRP’s price is struggling to stay above a mid-range support level, visually marked by a horizontal grey box between $2.05 and $2.1. Failure to clear this area could trigger a significant decline toward $1.9, which Dom has identified as the next key support area. On the flip side, a break above $2.12, where multiple VWAPs are stacked, would signal an immediate bullish reversal and potentially mark the beginning of a new upward trend. Dom has also stressed the urgency of XRP regaining the $2.12 level. If bulls fail to do so, the cryptocurrency’s structure remains vulnerable and could correct downwards at any moment.  As the XRP price currently sits at $2.3, the analyst has pinpointed a key upside target on his chart. If XRP were to break above its current price, the analyst expects it to move back up to $2.47 — a level that would act as a longer-term dynamic resistance.     XRP Must Break $2.3 To Reach $3 In a recent X post, a crypto analyst known as ‘Lord Crypto’ highlighted that XRP is showing signs of a potential breakout as it emerges from oversold territory with multiple bullish catalysts approaching. After weeks of consolidation near the $2.00 support zone, XRP is now testing the resistance level at $2.30. Related Reading: XRP Price To Break Out Of Consolidation: The Next Moonshot That Will Lead To $3 Technical indicators and market trends appear to be favoring bulls. The Stochastic Relative Strength Index (RSI) shown on the price chart has reversed upward from oversold zones, indicating possible renewed buying pressure.  The analyst has also pointed to the possibility of an XRP ETF approval as a bullish catalyst. Additionally, he highlighted Ripple’s victory over the US SEC, which brings an end to the lawsuit that has lasted over four years.  Notably, a close and sustained trading above the $2.30 level could allow XRP to target higher resistance levels around $2.52 and $2.91. Once this happens, the XRP price could even reclaim past highs above $3. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
