THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

A crypto analyst has predicted that the XRP price could hit $27 soon. He describes the cryptocurrency’s current price action as a “ Bermuda Triangle or boredom phase” — a period where the market moves slowly or sideways, fuelling doubt and uncertainty among traders and investors before a price rally.  XRP Price Boredom Phase To Trigger $27 Surge Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has warned that the XRP price is in a Bermuda Triangle, a boredom phase characterized by price stagnation and market uncertainty designed to shake out weak hands before a significant price move. According to his prediction, while traders and investors are growing impatient and questioning why XRP has not experienced any notable price increases, this phase is merely a set-up for a strong rally toward $27.

The cryptocurrency was one of the top-performing altcoins in this bull cycle, jumping from a $0.5 low to over $3 for the first time in seven years. Due to the current market decline, Egrag Crypto revealed that many traders are now wondering why “XRP hasn’t mooned.” The analyst explained that this price decline was intentional, forcing investors to second-guess themselves and make emotional trading decisions.  He also disclosed that the XRP market is now filled with ‘What ifs’, as Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) cloud traders’ minds. Moreover, concerns over potential dips to $1.60 or $1.30 could push investors to panic-sell or attempt risky trades.  The analyst also revealed that the XRP market is currently controlled by sharks and larger players, also called Whales. These large holders tend to influence price movements, triggering stop-losses and shaking out weak hands before a major rally.  Egrag Crypto warns that new investors and traders are especially vulnerable, as frustration and boredom can lead to making financial mistakes. He disclosed that the best strategy to implement during this current market phase is to do nothing. He suggested investors stay disciplined and patient, recognizing that boredom phases are normal in crypto market cycles.  The analyst also urged investors to remain vigilant and hold their positions while accumulating at ideal prices rather than react impulsively to rapid changes in the market.  XRP Breakout Point Hints At New ATH In other analyses, market expert ‘Steph Is Crypto’ has announced that XRP is currently retesting breakout levels to trigger a surge to a fresh ATH. The analyst’s price chart shows a Falling Wedge pattern which has been broken above the resistance at the upper trend line.  Related Reading: XRP Threatens Death Cross On 4-Hour Chart, Is Another Crash Coming? After breaking out, XRP now retests this level to confirm a larger upward move. The large green arrow on the chart points to the cryptocurrency’s projected price target, suggesting a bullish continuation if the Falling Wedge breakout holds.  XRP’s upside potential is predicted to be $4 or higher if its bullish momentum is maintained. As of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.4, reflecting a 3.5% decline in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. If its price rises to $4, it would represent a significant 66.7% increase from current levels. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com

The XRP price has failed to shoot up dramatically in the wake of Ripple’s victory against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). After the SEC officially dropped its appeal against Ripple, many market participants expected a new all-time high. Instead, XRP climbed only by 13% as far as $2.60 before retreating to around $2.40, perplexing investors who had anticipated a sharper rally. Why Is XRP Not Skyrocketing? According to Johnny Krypto, co-founder of Merlin, the lack of a massive spike in XRP’s price should not come as a shock. He draws a parallel with historical events in both crypto and mainstream markets, emphasizing that anticipatory trading often leads to muted responses when the official news finally arrives. “When Trump won, there was no logical reason for XRP’s price to jump, but the market was pricing in that the lawsuit would be dropped,” Johnny explains. “That’s why we saw the big pump back then.” Related Reading: How High Can XRP Price Go After The Ripple Victory? He points out that the run-up from $0.50 to $2.50 last November reflected traders betting on a favorable outcome to Ripple’s legal troubles. Now that the outcome is certain, the market is responding more with a whimper than a bang. “If the SEC had maintained the appeal, XRP’s price would have likely plummeted instead of staying stable,” he adds, noting that the absence of a negative development has effectively kept XRP from falling rather than propelled it to new highs. Crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) stated on X that a wave of anxiety is rippling through the XRP community. He argues that many investors are simply uneasy about the current price stagnation and the market’s slower pace compared to previous cycles: “Right now, almost everyone seems to be panicking. Even with all my positive charts, some people are still worried. My DM is filled with anxious questions like, ‘The SEC dropped the case, and we didn’t MOON. Why? What’s going on?, What Happened’ Just Relax and Breath! The real bull market and development are just getting started.” He underscores that the gradual movement in prices can test the patience of retail investors, who often expect quicker returns: “Currently, almost all retail players are experiencing ‘pain’ it is called pain of boredom, unlike in 2017, where the market had quick ups and downs, this time the changes are happening slowly. … But this is not how financial markets work. It moves in cycles and waves.” Related Reading: XRP Wave 4 Count: Why $2.66 Is The Most Important Level To Beat Pointing to the pending arrival of large institutional participants, EGRAG CRYPTO remains optimistic: “This time around, the market might remain strong for an extended period due to steady prices. New ETFs will be helping to bring in a new breed participants … There will be hundreds and thousands of sales people pushing the XRP ETF to their clients.” His overarching message to XRP holders: remain patient. Beyond legal resolutions, XRP—like the broader crypto market—remains exposed to global economic forces. The specter of a US-led trade war, spearheaded by President Trump’s tariff policies, looms large. In particular, the 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, along with a 10% tariff on China, have fueled concerns about stagflation—a combination of slow economic growth and high inflation. Supply chain disruptions, higher consumer prices, and diminished economic momentum weigh on risk markets. Investors are increasingly shifting toward “safe haven” assets, including US Treasuries and gold, dampening demand for more volatile cryptocurrencies like XRP. The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy stance is also influencing sentiment. As of its March 19, 2025 meeting, the Fed chose to maintain interest rates in the 4.25%–4.5% range set in late 2024, pausing the rate-cutting cycle that began in September 2024. Fed Chair Jerome Powell cited persistent inflation above the 2% target, along with heightened recession risks, partly tied to tariff concerns and weaker consumer spending. Powell’s cautious tone has led to increased market unease, as a recession could further undermine confidence in risk assets. In such an environment, even the end of the XRP lawsuit may not have been enough to spark a sustained rally. At press time, XRP traded at $2.3995.

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has discussed the possibility of the XRP price witnessing another corrective move. He revealed the price level that XRP needs to stay above to avoid further downside pressure and rally to the upside.  XRP Needs To Stay Above $2.66 To Avoid Corrective Move  In an X post, Egrag Crypto stated that if XRP fails to close above the $2.65 to $2.70 range, it won’t negate the wave 4 move and will likely lead XRP down to the 5th wave. His accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could drop to as low as $1.7 on this corrective move, breaking the crucial $2 support level in the process. The analyst had previously highlighted this $2.65 as being critical for a bullish breakout.  Related Reading: XRP Price Ready To Bounce Back Above $3 If Bulls Can Hold This Level Egrag Crypto alluded to the fact that the US SEC was finally dropping its long-running lawsuit against Ripple, which is typically bullish for XRP. The analyst admitted that it was a significant win for long-term adoption and utility, reinforcing the belief in the altcoin’s use. However, he added that the focus has to be on the numbers and charts in the short term.  In line with this, he remarked that a close above $2.66 would be a good sign, followed by another close above $2.97 as a second bullish confirmation. He asserted that the ultimate confirmation for a bullish trend would be a close above $3.40, which is XRP’s current all-time high (ATH). A close above $3.40 would lead to the next target between $5 and $8.  Crypto analyst CasiTrades also echoed a similar sentiment, stating that XRP needs to break above $3.40 to confirm a new trend. Until then, she remarked that market participants will have to wait for signs of confirmation, which may not be obvious until wave 3 in the market cycle. Before now, the analyst affirmed that the market is on the edge of a breakout, and this week could be a defining moment, which already looks to be the case with the Ripple SEC lawsuit.  A Rally To $5 Already In Play Crypto analyst Dark Defender suggested that an XRP rally to $5 was already underway after the SEC decided to drop the Ripple lawsuit. His accompanying chart showed that XRP could witness a breakout to the $5 target. The altcoin will first rally to around $4.4 on wave 3, then correct to $3.7 on wave 4 before the rally to $5.6 on wave 5. Related Reading: XRP Price Retraces Gains From Sunday Rally, This Important Support Level Could Be The Defining Factor Meanwhile, crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto raised the possibility of XRP dropping below $2 and reaching $1.7 before any parabolic move to the upside begins. He predicts that the altcoin will rally to double digits regardless of how the price action plays out in the short term.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.45, up over 7% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

After more than four years, the US Securities and Exchange Commission is discontinuing its proceedings against Ripple in the XRP lawsuit. The announcement by CEO Brad Garlinghouse on X—stating “This is it – the moment we’ve been waiting for. The SEC will drop its appeal – a resounding victory for Ripple, for crypto, every way you look at it. The future is bright. Let’s build”—has generated waves of optimism among XRP supporters. Although attorney Jeremy Hogan noted that Ripple can still take a range of actions, the consensus among market participants is that this development dispels a massive victory for Ripple. Hogan remarked that it is still unclear if Ripple agrees to drop the appeal. He added that there are 4 possibilities left: a. Ripple continues its appeal, and we get a ruling from an appellate court on whether investment contracts require contracts, etc.. b. Ripple agrees to drop its appeal, jurisdiction returns to the trial court, and the parties attempt to amend the judgment. c. Ripple agrees to drop its appeal, and the parties enter into an agreement between them without trying to amend the judgment. d. Ripple just pays the $125mil and moves on. How High Can XRP Go? Against this backdrop, crypto analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark) has shared an updated daily XRP/USD chart. According to it, XRP broke above a descending trend line that extends across several weeks of trading activity following the announcement. Related Reading: XRP Coils For A Breakout, But Key Resistance Still Stalls The Rally The breakthrough near the $2.47 area, has been circled in green and labeled as “A Clear Break-Out” by Dark Defender, suggesting that market participants are no longer confined by the downward trajectory that characterized much of the previous price action. The chart also outlines a Elliott Wave count aligned precisely with Fibonacci retracement and extension levels. The chart illustrates a completed corrective phase and the early development of a new impulsive wave structure, supported by the decisive breakout from a long-standing descending trendline. According to the analysis, Wave (1) initiated from the local low of $1.79 and peaked around $2.55, marking the first bullish impulse. This was followed by Wave (2), which retraced into the Fibonacci support zone. The retracement respected the 61.80% level at $2.3073 and approached the 70.20% level at $2.2249, indicating a technically sound corrective wave within the Elliott framework. These levels provided a strong foundation for buyers, preventing further downside and signaling the potential completion of Wave (2). Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Would Be If It Flips Ethereum’s Market Cap Following the corrective phase, the chart projects the start of Wave (3), traditionally the strongest in Elliott Wave theory. Fibonacci extension levels are plotted to define the likely targets for this wave. The 161.80% extension aligns at $3.94, serving as a critical target zone for Wave (3). Additionally, the 261.80% extension near $3.78 further supports this zone as a potential area where bullish momentum might face resistance or temporary consolidation. However, Dark Defender predicts that XRP could rise even higher into the $4.50 region. Upon completion of Wave (3), the chart suggests a corrective Wave (4), which is expected to respect the broader uptrend and drop into the $3.78 to $3.94 region. Subsequently, the final impulsive Wave (5) is projected to extend upon the 361.80% Fibonacci level at $4.9274. This marks a potential high within the current Elliott Wave cycle by the analyst, with the possibility of a surge above $6, where the wave structure could culminate. At press time, XRP traded at $2.55. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst CoinsKid has predicted that the XRP price could soon rally to $4, which represents a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. He also warned that XRP bulls must hold the line to avoid a potential drop to as low as $1.64.  Analyst Predicts XRP Price Could Rebound To $4 In an X post, CoinsKid predicted that the XRP price could rebound to as high as $4 if the altcoin takes out the local January 2025 high, when it rallied to its current ATH at around $3.4. He added that XRP may go beyond this $4 target on the bull run in the crypto market. In the meantime, the analyst warned that XRP bulls must hold the line to avoid a significant correction. Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge CoinsKid said that failure to hold the 20 Weighted Moving Average could spark a deeper correction for the altcoin, sending the altcoin to a minimal target of $1.64. The analyst went further to discuss XRP’s current price action. He noted that the altcoin is missing a 5th wave from the July 2024 bottom.  The analyst further opined that the XRP price has been in a wave 4 irregular expanded flat ABC correction since December 2024. He revealed that XRP is currently holding the 20 Weighted Moving Average, which is a sign of strength from the bulls. However, he warned that they must continue to hold the line to avoid a drop to as low as $1.64. Meanwhile, he mentioned that the RSI and the retail top were the key data points that pointed to an XRP price correction back in December. As to what could spark this price rebound to $4, CoinsKid alluded to the global money supply, which shows that liquidity is entering the market soon after leaving in December.  $5 Is Also In Sight For The Asset Crypto analyst Dark Defender has also predicted that the XRP price could rally to as high as $5.85, although it would face significant resistance at $3.39, around its current all-time high. The analyst also highlighted $2.30 and $2.22 as the support levels that XRP needs to hold above as it eyes a rally to this $5 target.  Meanwhile, the analyst also revealed that the primary correction for the price on the weekly, daily, and 4-hour structure is over. He noted that there will be more minor ups and downs. However, Dark Defender suggested XRP was well primed for a bullish reversal. He added that the altcoin has started wave 1 with the aim of rallying to this $5 target.  Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Reignites $100 XRP Price Target, What You Should Know At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.28, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP is trading at a crucial level, setting up for what could be a major breakout. The altcoin has been one of the top performers since November 2024, maintaining strength even as the broader market struggles with uncertainty. With renewed interest in altcoins and speculation of a crypto recovery, analysts believe that XRP could be one of the biggest gainers once bullish momentum returns. Related Reading: Ethereum Is Retesting A 5-Year Long Trendline – Massive Rally Incoming? According to on-chain data from Glassnode, the $2.40 level stands as the most critical resistance for XRP. The UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) indicator signals that a large concentration of supply exists around this price, making it a pivotal level for the altcoin’s next move. A decisive breakout above this resistance could trigger a strong rally, potentially pushing XRP toward new highs. Market sentiment remains mixed as macroeconomic concerns and volatile trading conditions continue to influence price action. However, XRP’s ability to hold above key support levels suggests that bulls are preparing for a significant push. If buying pressure intensifies and XRP clears the $2.40 mark, it could signal the start of a strong upward trend, positioning the altcoin as a leader in the next phase of market recovery. XRP Holds Strong But Faces Key Resistance At $2.40 Macroeconomic uncertainty and extreme volatility have shaken both the crypto and equity markets, leading to panic selling and fear-driven trading. While many altcoins, including Solana and Ethereum, have faced steep corrections, XRP has held its ground relatively well. The altcoin remains one of the strongest performers since late 2024, standing at a crucial level that could determine its next major move. To confirm an uptrend, bulls must hold above key demand levels and push XRP beyond resistance zones. However, breaking through supply-heavy areas remains a challenge. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared insights on X, citing Glassnode data highlighting $2.40 as XRP’s most crucial resistance level. The UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) indicator suggests that a large volume of XRP was previously transacted at this level, making it a key supply zone. The URPD indicator analyzes where the most coins were last moved on-chain. This helps traders identify price levels with high buying or selling activity. When an asset approaches a URPD resistance level, many holders previously acquired their XRP at this price. If price action struggles at this zone, it indicates a large supply overhang, potentially leading to profit-taking. However, if XRP breaks through, it signals strong demand, clearing the way for higher price targets.

If bulls successfully push XRP past $2.40, a breakout rally could follow, potentially driving the price toward new highs. On the other hand, failure to break through this resistance may lead to further consolidation or even a short-term pullback. The next few sessions will be crucial in determining XRP’s trajectory. Investors Eye A Breakout Above $2.50 XRP is currently trading at $2.31, following a 29% surge from the $1.89 level. Bulls are attempting to hold this price range and push above the $2.50 resistance, a crucial level that could confirm an uptrend. A successful breakout would set the stage for XRP to target range highs and further price expansion. However, resistance remains strong, and bulls need sustained momentum to reclaim key supply levels. If XRP fails to break above $2.50, sellers could step in, leading to a possible retracement. A drop below $2.20 would indicate a loss of short-term strength and could trigger a retest of lower support levels.

XRP remains in a holding pattern, according to the latest chart analysis shared by crypto analyst @CasiTrades. Despite a relatively subdued weekend, XRP continues to trade above critical support levels, indicating that the current bullish structure has not been invalidated. XRP Price Remains Bullish A closer look at the 4-hour XRP/USD chart by @CasiTrades shows two converging trend lines that have formed a symmetrical triangle spanning from mid-January to mid-March. XRP’s price action has respected both the upper and lower boundaries of this formation until early March. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Claims XRP Will Hit $1,000 – Here’s The 10 Reasons Why Back then, the XRP price initially staged a breakout attempt, but it turned out to be a fakeout and quickly failed. However, the second breakout now appears more promising. Following the move above the trendline, XRP is currently undergoing a bullish retest and has successfully bounced off the breakout level. If this retest holds in the coming days, it could signal that the bulls are gaining control and have won this critical battle for momentum. Fibonacci retracement levels stand out as key guides for potential continuation or reversal. The 0.382 retracement near $2.26 has clearly acted as a critical support, while the 0.236 level near $2.70 aligns with a horizontal zone that functioned as prior support in early February before flipping to short-term resistance. “XRP Holding Strong, But Still in Waiting Mode! It’s been a quiet weekend for XRP, but the bullish structure remains intact. We’re still holding above $2.26, the key .382 retracement support, and price has spent some time flipping the consolidation to support—markets are setting up for the next move!” Casi notes. Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Would Be If It Flips Ethereum’s Market Cap A step higher on the chart sits the 0.118 retracement near $3.05, which lies just under a horizontal band that previously capped price action in late January. These thresholds combine to create a layered resistance region between $2.70 and $3.05, an area XRP would need to overcome for a credible shift in market sentiment. Signs of strength would become more conclusive if XRP could break above $3.40, a threshold that @CasiTrades emphasizes as necessary to confirm a broader trend change. The analyst highlights $3.40 as a defining technical barrier that must be cleared before traders can speak of a “new trend,” possibly corresponding to wave 3 of a larger market cycle. The chart also shows a projected line pushing toward $3.80, which suggests that any breakout above $3.40 could be substantial, although the analyst maintains that confirmation must precede any speculation about reaching higher price targets. On the downside, the chart indicates that if the 0.382 Fibonacci at roughly $2.26 should fail, support at $1.90 (the 0.5 retracement) would be the next logical safety net for buyers. Even lower levels near $1.54 represent the origin of the latest upward swing and could attract significant demand if the market were to experience an extended sell-off. RSI readings on the 4-hour timeframe hover in the mid-50 range, pointing to a market that is neither overbought nor oversold. This neutral momentum further underscores the “waiting mode” described by @CasiTrades, in which participants appear cautious about placing aggressive bets ahead of a decisive breakout or breakdown. In commentary shared via X, the analyst concludes: “XRP needs to break above $3.40 to confirm our new trend, but until then we are waiting signs of confirmation, which may not be obvious until wave 3 in the market cycle. Key Fib levels have already been reached. The market is on the edge of a breakout, and this week could be a defining moment!” At press time, XRP traded at $2.29.

Crypto analyst MadWhale has raised the possibility of the XRP price experiencing a breakdown below the crucial $2 support level. The analyst also revealed the next major support if XRP drops below this support level.  XRP Price Could Drop To $1.90 If It Loses $2 Support In a TradingView post, MadWhale predicted that the XRP price could drop to the major support at $1.90 if it loses the psychological $2 level. He noted that XRP has demonstrated a classic triple-top formation, with each successive peak showing weaker momentum. In line with this, the analyst asserted that a break below the 42 threshold appears imminent as XRP nears a formidable resistance zone.  Related Reading: XRP Price Retraces Gains From Sunday Rally, This Important Support Level Could Be The Defining Factor MadWhale further stated that the downward move is expected to extend to at least $1.9, representing an 18% decline. The analyst added that such a price decline aligns with the primary target and a key daily support level. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez had also suggested that XRP could drop to as low as $1.2 if it loses the $2 support.  The analyst revealed that the XRP price was forming a head-and-shoulders pattern on the weekly chart, which puts the $2 support level in the spotlight. His accompanying chart showed that the crypto could drop to $1.2 if it breaks below $2. However, despite this bearish outlook, other crypto analysts, such as Egrag Crypto, have highlighted some positive aspects of the XRP price.  Egrag Crypto stated that the XRP price’s dominance was showing tremendous strength and predicted that if it successfully closed above Fib 0.5, it could soon rally to the Fib 0.888 level. Crypto analyst Dark Defender predicted that XRP could rally to a new all-time high (ATH) if it continues to hold the crucial support levels at $2.04 and $2.22. The Altcoin Still In Waiting Mode Crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that the XRP price is holding strong but is still in waiting mode. She added that the bullish structure remains intact, with the altcoin holding above $2.26, which is the key .382 retracement support. The analyst noted that XRP’s price has spent some time flipping the consolidation to support, indicating that markets are setting up for the next move. Related Reading: Analyst Shares Upper And Lower Targets For XRP Price The crypto analyst revealed the $2.70 and $3.05 resistance levels and $2.25 support level as the key levels to watch. She remarked that the XRP price needs to flip $2.70 and $3.05 to become support for the confirmation of the next wave up. Meanwhile, CasiTrades suggested that XRP risks dropping to as low as $1.54 if it loses the lower support support at $1.90.  The crypto analyst also mentioned that the price needs to break above $3.40, its current ATH, to confirm a new trend. Until then, the wait for signs of confirmation continues, which she claimed may not be obvious until wave 3 in the market cycle. CasiTrades asserted that key Fib levels have been breached, and the market is on the edge of a breakout.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.29, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Recent data has shown what the XRP price would be if it flips Ethereum’s market cap. Such a development would also lead to a new all-time high (ATH) for XRP. Meanwhile, crypto experts have given their opinions on whether XRP could indeed flip Ethereum.  How High The XRP Price Would Be If It Flips Ethereum’s Market Cap MarketCapOf data shows that the XRP price could reach as high as $3.94 if it flips Ethereum’s market cap. This is significant as a rally to this price level would mark a new ATH for the asset.  Flipping ETH’s market cap also means that XRP will become the second largest crypto by market cap.  Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge The XRP price is already on the heels of the Ethereum price. It currently occupies the number four spot with a market cap of $135 billion while ETH boasts a market cap of $227 billion. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto had previously predicted that the altcoin will flip ETH in this market cycle. In a recent X post, the analyst suggested that it will still likely happen.  He asserted that the XRP price’s dominance is exhibiting “tremendous strength” as it is on the verge of closing above the 2021 high of 6%, surpassing Fib 0.5. The analyst added that a close above that level would be super bullish since Fib 0.5 is a critical level. Egrag Crypto predicts that the altcoin could surge straight to Fib 0.888 if it successfully closes above 0.5. He noted that this would align with the highs from 2015.  The analyst stated that this prediction for the XRP price isn’t just speculation. He seems confident in this prediction because of the asset’s utility. While Egrag Crypto believes XRP could flip Ethereum, crypto expert Ansem argues that XRP can never flip Ethereum because its use cases cannot be compared to ETH’s, which boasts a robust ecosystem.  The $2 Support Level In The Spotlight Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has again highlighted the importance of the $2 support level. He noted that the price is shaping up a head-and-shoulders pattern on the weekly chart, which spotlights the $2 support level, as holding this price level is crucial. His accompanying chart showed that XRP could drop to as low as $1.2 if it loses this support.  Crypto analyst Dark Defender also highlighted $2.04 and $2.22 as the critical support levels for the asset. He suggested that it was important for XRP to hold above these price levels as it eyes a rally to the upside targets at $4.2932 and $5.8563. A rally to as high as $5 could see it flip Ethereum, especially if the latter continues to underperform.  Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes 40% Gains, Analyst Reveals The ‘Best Level’ To Buy And Hold At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.3, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP has finally found stability above crucial demand levels after enduring weeks of heavy selling pressure and market uncertainty. Despite the broader crypto market’s volatility, XRP remains within a long-term range, trading between its $1.90 low and the $3.40 all-time high. Related Reading: Ethereum Must Reclaim $2,050 To Start A Recovery Rally – Insights After gaining over 30% since last Tuesday, analysts are speculating about a potential breakout above critical supply zones. If XRP continues building momentum, it could soon challenge key resistance levels, setting the stage for a larger move to the upside. Adding to the bullish outlook, on-chain data from Santiment reveals that whales have accumulated over 150 million XRP in the last 48 hours. Historically, large-scale whale accumulation has often preceded major price rallies, as it signals growing confidence from institutional investors and high-net-worth holders. With XRP holding above key support and whale activity increasing, investors are now watching for a decisive move above supply zones to confirm a long-term bullish reversal. The next few trading sessions will be crucial in determining whether XRP can maintain its strength or if further consolidation is needed before another major move. XRP Outperforms As Whale Accumulation Signals A Potential Breakout Compared to other major crypto assets, XRP has been overperforming since late 2024, showing strong resilience despite market-wide corrections. While many altcoins have struggled to reclaim key levels, XRP has held its range and built a foundation for a potential recovery. Once the market shifts into an uptrend, analysts believe that XRP could be one of the first assets to break into price discovery, potentially leading a massive rally. Related Reading: Cardano Is ‘About To Break Free’ – Breakout Above Crucial Supply To Trigger A Big Move–Analyst Price action remains relatively stable, even as broader macroeconomic conditions create uncertainty. Speculation is growing not only about a crypto market recovery but also about a potential rebound in the U.S. stock market, which has faced its own volatility in recent months. If global financial markets regain strength, it could further support XRP’s bullish outlook. Top analyst Ali Martinez recently shared on-chain data from Santiment, revealing that whales have accumulated over 150 million XRP in the last 48 hours. This large-scale accumulation is part of a broader trend, where whales and institutional players have been buying XRP during periods of market weakness. Historically, such accumulation phases have preceded strong price recoveries, as long-term investors position themselves for future gains. For now, XRP bulls must hold current levels and reclaim key resistance zones to confirm the start of a new rally. If XRP breaks through crucial supply levels, it could signal the beginning of a major price surge, potentially pushing it into new all-time highs. The next few trading sessions will be critical in determining whether XRP can maintain its momentum or if further consolidation is needed before the next move upward. Price Holds Above Key Demand XRP is currently trading at $2.37, maintaining strength after defending the $1.89 support level last week. Bulls have successfully held key demand, preventing further downside, but the main challenge now is breaking above crucial supply zones to trigger a rally. If XRP pushes above the $2.60 mark with strong momentum, it could open the door for a rally into price discovery. A break and reclaim of the $3 level would likely signal the start of a major uptrend, potentially leading to new all-time highs. However, the market remains volatile, and a retest of range lows is still possible before XRP makes a decisive move. Bulls must continue defending key support levels while building momentum for a breakout above resistance.

The XRP price could be staging a parabolic rally to new all-time highs of $110. While an analyst shares a technical analysis to back this ambitious target, Bollinger Bands creator John Bollinger declares XRP to be a market leader in the crypto space.  Analyst Predicts New XRP Price Target To $110 In a rather lengthy X (formerly Twitter) post, market expert Egrag Crypto went deep into his analysis for the XRP price, basing his predictions on its Elliott Wave structure. The crypto analyst confidently forecasted that XRP was heading towards a new $110 ATH. This bullish target would represent a whopping 3,974% increase from its current market value. Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge Firstly, Egrag Crypto outlines XRP’s five-wave structure, underscoring that each wave could push the cryptocurrency to a new target. The analyst reveals that XRP is currently in Wave 2 of its Elliott Wave structure and is closely approaching Wave 3, which is expected to trigger the most explosive increase. In Wave 1, XRP saw an impressive 733% increase to new highs. However, in its current Wave 2, Egrag Crypto highlights that its 2017 fractal appears more profound. With the formation of a Double Bottom pattern, the analyst has predicted a potential price breakdown for the cryptocurrency.  Egrag Crypto further forecasts that Wave 3 will trigger a reversal and cause the price to skyrocket by 1,185%. This massive price increase would effectively place the XRP price at a potential target between $22 and $24. For a more conservative target, the analyst estimates a surge of around $22 to $24.  For Wave 4, Egrag Crypto predicts another major retracement similar to Wave 2. However, this time, the analyst believes XRP could decline by either 14.6%, 23.6%, or 38.2% from Wave 3’s price high. This correction would mark a 65% drop from Wave 3’s peak, bringing the cryptocurrency’s price down to $8. He also highlights a worse-case bearish scenario where XRP crashes as low as $3.4.  Notably, Egrag Crypto shares three potential bullish targets for Wave 5, the final part of the Elliott Wave Structure. He forecasts that the altcoin could surge between $32 to $48, $60 to $70, or $95 to $110. The analyst has based his optimistic forecast on past cycle trends, where 2017 saw a major price rally for XRP.  Bollinger Bands Creator Says The Asset To Become Leader In other news, Bollinger, the creator of the renowned Bollinger Band technical analysis tool, has highlighted XRP in his latest post, questioning whether it could take a leading role in the crypto market. The technical analyst asserts that Ripple has held up better than other primary crypto vehicles. Related Reading: Analyst Says Only Buy XRP If It Reaches This Level  Considering its legal battles with the US SEC and present regulatory challenges, Ripple continues to remain resilient, aiming to gain clarity during the final stages of the five-year-long lawsuit. Meanwhile, the XRP price, which is currently trading at $2.4, has experienced a recent uptick, increasing by almost 4% in the last day, according to CoinMarketCap.

In a new video, CryptoSensei (@Crypt0Senseii)—the founder of the Cryptonairz community—laid out a comprehensive argument for why he believes XRP could soar to four- and even five-digit price territory. The video, titled “THIS WILL GUARANTEE A $1000 XRP PRICE,” focuses on ten key factors that, according to CryptoSensei, could significantly boost XRP’s adoption and market valuation in the coming years. #1 Regulatory Clarity For XRP CryptoSensei begins by underscoring the ongoing legal situation involving the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs, mentioning the partial appeal of the court’s July 2023 ruling. While stressing that the appeal does not designate XRP itself as a security, he notes that “we still have the case against Brad and Chris [referring to Ripple executives] going.” The resolution of these legal hurdles, he argues, is crucial for broader institutional adoption within the United States. “If we want the type of movement we’re looking for inside the US, we need those things to come to an end,” CryptoSensei says, alluding to the potential for major banks like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and BNY Mellon to officially engage with XRP once regulatory clarity is achieved. #2 Institutions Standing By To Use XRP The video highlights a series of statements from major financial institutions, including the CEO of BNY Mellon, who indicated that crypto custody and tokenized assets are among the bank’s future priorities. According to CryptoSensei, banks are “ready to jump in,” but are hesitant to make large-scale commitments without clear regulatory guidelines. He emphasizes that if XRP were to host “even 5 or 10%” of a multi-trillion-dollar global tokenization market, the price could reach four- or five-digit figures. #3 Potential SEC Case Drops A noteworthy discussion point is the SEC’s recent trend of dropping cases (or opting not to pursue them) against certain crypto firms. CryptoSensei mentions that the Commission “dropped the case against OpenSea, Coinbase, [and] Robinhood,” suggesting a possible shift in enforcement strategy. “Is Ripple, in fact, next? … If the [former] Trump administration wants to stand by their word of working with the crypto industry and not against them, I do believe this is coming,” he posits. #4 Tokenization Of Real-World Assets (RWAs) Central to CryptoSensei’s thesis is the growing trend of tokenizing traditional assets—ranging from real estate to debt instruments—on blockchain networks. He cites Ripple Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz, who says the XRP Ledger (XRPL) could be “a really good platform” for these tokenization projects, thanks to its low fees, integrated decentralized exchange (DEX), and multi-asset support. Schwartz explained: “If someone’s going to buy or sell tokenized real-world assets, they want to be able to do that with whatever asset is convenient for them.” CryptoSensei further highlights how Robinhood’s documentation from January 2025 (mentioned in the video) cites Ripple’s success in tokenizing hundreds of millions of dollars in real-world assets on the XRPL—projects that aim to expand into the billions and eventually trillions. #5 Interoperability Bridges Another critical piece is interoperability. CryptoSensei references the Axelar network, which is bridging the XRPL mainnet, the XRP Ledger EVM sidechain, and over 55 other blockchains. The expansion of cross-chain liquidity is described as “liquidity, liquidity, liquidity.” He points out that the XRPL’s design—integrating DEX functionality directly into the protocol—simplifies asset swaps and liquidity provisioning, boosting its appeal for large-scale tokenization. #6 Cross-Border Payment Solutions Ripple’s long-standing focus on remittances and cross-border payments also features prominently. CryptoSensei shows a clip describing how a US-to-Mexico corridor, facilitated by XRP, can settle in mere minutes at a fraction of legacy fees. “All of that takes about 10 minutes, which used to be three days,” says a Ripple spokesperson in the included clip, also noting that these transactions can be up to “20-odd basis points cheaper.” He argues that such improvements in speed and cost will eventually outcompete outdated correspondent banking rails, potentially capturing a significant portion of the multi-billion-dollar global remittance market. #7 Collaborations With Key Global Institutions In the video, CryptoSensei showcases the Bank for International Settlements’ (BIS) Cross-Border Payments Interoperability and Extension Task Force, listing Ripple alongside only a handful of major international payment networks—such as Mastercard, SWIFT, and EBA Clearing. He emphasizes Ripple’s unique position as the only blockchain infrastructure provider on the roster, describing it as a testament to the company’s significance in shaping next-generation payment standards. #8 Treasury Market On XRP Ledger Referencing Ondo’s tokenization initiatives, CryptoSensei highlights the possibility of US Treasuries migrating onto blockchains, potentially including the XRP Ledger. He notes the US Treasury market alone stands at over $28 trillion, while globally, the bond market encompasses roughly $130 trillion. “Could you imagine five or ten trillion dollars finding its way onto the XRP Ledger over the next five to ten years?” he asks, suggesting even a fraction of that capital would profoundly affect XRP’s valuation. #9 Derivatives Expansion According to the video, derivatives—often said to represent notional values in the hundreds of trillions to over a quadrillion dollars—are a prime target for on-chain tokenization. CryptoSensei points to Bitstamp, which is building a derivatives exchange on the XRPL. He believes that capturing a slice of these massive markets could drive significant demand for XRP, especially if large holders lock up tokens for long-term liquidity provisioning. #10 Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) Finally, the pundit underscores Ripple’s work with various central banks on CBDC pilots. He cites projects under the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and notes that Ripple was recently named the top technology provider for CBDCs by Juniper Research. From the Bank of International Settlements to major economies in Asia, CryptoSensei posits that the institutional relationships Ripple has forged place XRP in a strategic position to bridge disparate currencies and networks. “Ripple is working with up to 30 central banks,” he states, emphasizing that these ongoing partnerships may open doors for XRP to serve as a liquidity tool in sovereign-level digital currencies. While some of the claims—such as XRP reaching “four or five digits”—are extremely bullish and hinge on multiple converging factors, CryptoSensei remains steadfast: if even a few of these catalysts unfold in Ripple’s favor, he envisions a drastically higher valuation for XRP. Throughout the video, he stresses that regulatory clarity in the United States is the linchpin to unlocking widespread adoption. “If all of these things happen,” he concludes, “you better believe we’re looking at a four to five digit price.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.31.

Crypto analyst CW23 has revealed that the XRP price is hinting at a symmetrical triangle, which provides a bullish outlook for the crypto. However, he warned that a price crash could occur before XRP breaks out of this triangle and rallies to the upside.  XRP Price Hints At Symmetrical Triangle  In a TradingView post, CW23 revealed that a symmetrical triangle may be forming for the XRP price. This came as he noted that XRP is bouncing off the bottom of an ascending channel, with the pinbar candle on the 4-hour chart now in upward pressure having tested the bottom. The analyst added that the crypto will probably trade in this range for a while.  Related Reading: XRP Price Pump To $3.35 On The Horizon With Bullish Cup And Handle Pattern Formation However, CW23 stated that a symmetrical triangle is forming and it could be a larger wave 4 pullback in the Elliot wave before wave 5 takes the XRP price to a new all-time high (ATH) to round out this year’s bull cycle. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that XRP could drop to as low as $1.70 on wave 4. Meanwhile, the asset is projected to rally to a new ATH of $5 on wave 5.  Crypto analyst ElmoX also recently predicted that the XRP price could witness a massive corrective and drop below $2 before it rallies to new highs. The analyst provided a more bullish outlook for XRP, predicting it could rally to as high as $20 in this market cycle. However, he warned that the crypto would face major resistance at $2.9 on its way to a new ATH.  The Altcoin Has Finalized Its Correction In an X post, crypto analyst Dark Defender stated that the XRP price has finalized the correction on the four-hour time frame. He mentioned that XRP is expected to move towards $2.42 first considering the correction structures. The analyst also affirmed that the real move to the upside will start after XRP climbs above the Ichimoku clouds.  Related Reading: XRP Price Retraces Gains From Sunday Rally, This Important Support Level Could Be The Defining Factor Dark Defender highlighted $2.22 and $2.04 as the support levels to watch out for while he stated that $4.2932 and $5.8563 are the targets which the XRP price could rally to. Crypto analyst CasiTrades highlighted the importance of the altcoin holding the support levels at $2.04 and $2.11.  She added that a hold above either of these levels is critical to maintaining the consolidation. Meanwhile, the analyst revealed that the next resistance levels are $2.25 and $2.70, which happens to be the next breakout level. CasiTrades also assured market participants that the price is still bullish, indicating it is still well primed to reach new highs.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.24, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP bulls are making a strong push, but the $2.2546 resistance level is proving to be a tough barrier. After a steady upward climb, buying momentum has weakened as sellers step in to defend this key level. A successful breakout could signal a continuation of the uptrend, driving XRP toward new highs and reinforcing positive sentiment in the market. However, if buyers fail to overcome this hurdle, XRP may face a pullback, with traders eyeing lower support levels for stability. Market participants are closely monitoring whether the bullish momentum is strong enough to push past the resistance or if selling pressure will force a temporary retreat. Market Sentiment And XRP’s Resistance Struggle Market sentiment remains a key factor in XRP’s ongoing battle against the $2.2546 resistance level. While bulls try to drive the price higher, the lack of strong follow-through suggests lingering uncertainty among traders. The resistance level has become a critical test, with buyers needing to sustain momentum to confirm a breakout. Related Reading: XRP Faces Bearish MVRV Crossover—Price Plunge To Continue? Broader market conditions, including Bitcoin’s movement and overall investor confidence, are influencing XRP’s price action. A surge in trading volume and renewed buying pressure could provide the necessary strength for a breakout. However, if sellers continue to defend this level, XRP may struggle to gain further ground, leading to potential profit-taking and a short-term pullback. Furthermore, after crossing above the 50% mark, the RSI is now dipping below it, creating uncertainty among traders. This shift reflects a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, leaving XRP in a state of market indecision. Without a clear directional push, price movement could remain volatile as traders await stronger signals for the next move. For the bulls to regain control, market sentiment must shift decisively in their favor, with technical indicators aligning to support an upward push. Until then, XRP remains at a crossroads, with both breakout and rejection scenarios still in play. Breakout Potential: What Needs To Happen? For XRP to break above the $2.2546 resistance level, bulls must generate strong momentum backed by increasing buying pressure. A sustained push beyond this critical level, confirmed by a decisive daily close, might set the stage for further gains.  Its ability to stabilize above $2.2546  may attract more traders looking to ride the breakout, potentially driving the price toward higher targets such as $2.6482 and $2.9272. Related Reading: XRP Faces Make-Or-Break Moment Amid Bearish Threat Also, XRP’s price must break above the 100-day SMA, and the RSI needs to rise above the 60% threshold. Breaking above these levels could pave the way for more growth, while failure to do so may leave XRP vulnerable to consolidation or a pullback. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview.com

A new XRP price forecast has emerged, offering insights into the cryptocurrency’s next bearish move. A crypto analyst who previously predicted XRP‘s crash below $2 has provided a more comprehensive outlook, outlining key support and resistance areas that will determine XRP’s next target.  According to TradingView crypto analyst, ‘MMBTrader,’ the XRP price is set to dump below the $2 threshold. As of writing, CoinMarketCap reports that XRP is trading at $2.2, reflecting a modest 3% increase in value in the last 24 hours.  XRP Price Projected To Crash To $1.5 Notably, the cryptocurrency is gradually giving up gains, negatively impacted by the broader market downtrend and lack of bullish drivers. MMBTrader has shared a technical chart supporting his bearish prediction for the XRP price.  Related Reading: Pundit Who Correctly Predicted XRP Price Crash To $2.5 Says Demand Zone Will Send It Soaring The TradingView crypto expert has identified a Head and Shoulder pattern on the XRP daily chart, consisting of three peaks: left shoulder, head, and right shoulder. Typically, a classic Head and Shoulder pattern is considered one of the most common indicators of a potential price breakdown, with the price of a cryptocurrency expected to reverse from bullish to bearish.  Looking at the price chart, a break below the pattern’s neckline around the $1.95 price point would confirm XRP’s bearish position. If the cryptocurrency fails to hold the $1.95 support level, a sharp drop, possibly up to 50%, is expected. This massive crash would effectively place the price around the $1.5 level or even as low as $1.2. While he expects a possible crash to $1.5, MMBTrader also projects an alternative bullish scenario in which the XRP price initiates a strong rebound. The analyst revealed that if the cryptocurrency consolidates near $2 without breaking lower, then a bounce to new highs could follow. Additionally, the TradingView expert believes that the asset could also experience a significant rally toward $5 after its projected 50% price crash. He highlights that if XRP can hold the support level near $1.5, then a strong reversal could occur, potentially triggering a bullish move between $4 and $4.5. Whales Scoop Up $385 Million Amid Market Downtrend While XRP experiences slow momentum due to the market’s recent decline, whales are seizing the opportunity to buy the dip, accumulating a significant amount of the token. According to crypto analyst Brett, an XRP whale has executed a large-scale transaction, buying over 167 million XRP, valued at $368.4 million, in a single purchase. Related Reading: XRP Price Pump To $3.35 On The Horizon With Bullish Cup And Handle Pattern Formation Brett revealed that this whale purchase was made as the market panicked over increasing volatility and price declines. Over the past few weeks, XRP has struggled to recover from bearish trends, joining the ranks of top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which recorded a major price crash earlier in February. CoinMarketCap’s data shows that the the altcoin’s price has fallen by 11.6% in just one week. This decline comes as the broader crypto market faces massive liquidations totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

On-chain data shows the XRP Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio has just gone through a crossover that may not be positive for the asset’s price. XRP MVRV Ratio Has Dropped Under Its 200-Day MA As pointed out by analyst Ali Martinez in a new post on X, the MVRV Ratio’s latest crossover may signal a macro trend shift for XRP. The “MVRV Ratio” refers to an on-chain indicator that keeps track of the ratio between a given asset’s market cap and its realized cap. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bear Market Is Below This Level, Analyst Reveals The realized cap is a capitalization model that calculates the cryptocurrency’s ‘true’ value by assuming that the real value of any token in circulation is the spot price at which it was last transacted on the network. The previous transaction price of any coin can be considered the value at which its investor purchased it, so the realized cap represents the total amount of capital that the asset’s holders as a whole spent to purchase their holdings. In contrast, the market cap just tells us what value the investors are holding in the present. Since the MVRV Ratio takes the ratio between these two metrics, it basically signifies the profit-loss status of the market as a whole. The indicator being greater than 1 suggests investors are holding more than they invested, while it being under the mark implies a dominance of underwater tokens. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the trend in the XRP MVRV Ratio, as well as its 200-day moving average (MA), over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the XRP MVRV Ratio has witnessed a plunge recently as a result of the drawdown that the cryptocurrency’s price has gone through. Though, despite the price crash, the indicator’s value continues to be well above the 1 level, meaning that the investors of the asset are still largely in the green. That said, there is one important level that the metric has indeed dipped below due to the downtrend: the 200-day MA. Related Reading: Solana Falls Under Realized Price: Here’s What Happened Last Time The MVRV Ratio broke above the level in the last few months of 2024 and remained above it until this breakdown. From the chart, it’s apparent that the previous crossover proved to be a bullish signal for XRP. Now that the reverse crossover has occurred, the analyst has noted that another potential macro trend shift could be ahead for the cryptocurrency’s price. It only remains to be seen whether the asset will continue to decline in the coming days and confirm the pattern or not. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is floating around 2.23, up more than 5% over the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com

In an interview with the Paul Barron Network, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan expressed his perspective on the long-debated regulatory battle surrounding XRP and its potential market reaction once legal uncertainties are resolved. According to Hougan, the crypto asset—long restrained by litigation—may be significantly undervalued, with the potential for a sharp market correction following a favorable resolution to its legal entanglements. Since 2020, XRP has been entangled in a legal dispute with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which accused Ripple Labs of conducting an unregistered securities offering. The lawsuit has cast a long shadow over the token, restricting its growth within the US market and leading to its delisting from several major exchanges in the past. Related Reading: Analyst Says Only Buy XRP If It Reaches This Level Now, with the lawsuit potentially reaching its final ruling by April 16, according to Barron, market participants are speculating on XRP’s future trajectory. Hougan weighed in on the matter, pointing out that a resolution could unlock significant latent demand and shift the narrative around the asset. “From my 30,000-foot view, specific to XRP, I think there’s a significant chunk of the crypto market that has sort of written it off or forgotten about it. And I think that part of the market is wrong,” Hougan stated. What Happens Post-Lawsuit With XRP? One of the key takeaways from Hougan’s analysis is the idea that XRP remains an unknown variable in the broader crypto landscape. Unlike Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which have seen major adoption and institutional inflows, XRP has remained stagnant due to regulatory overhang. If the lawsuit concludes with clarity that allows unrestricted US adoption, the real potential of XRP in global finance could finally be realized. “The reality is, XRP has been suppressed by litigation for multiple years, and we don’t yet know what it can do on the global stage when it’s freed from those restraints,” he added. While Hougan did not make outright price predictions, he did note that institutional and retail sentiment could pivot quickly if XRP gains renewed regulatory clarity in the US. Related Reading: XRP Flirts With A Daily Range Breakdown – Price Must Hold Above $2 Level The discussion also delved into Japan’s aggressive adoption of XRP, with SBI Holdings leading the charge in integrating the asset into its digital banking ecosystem. As noted in the interview, XRP has now surpassed Ethereum in Japanese investor holdings, signaling deep institutional confidence in its future. Paul Barron emphasized that Japan’s approach could foreshadow broader global adoption: “SBI seems to be doing with XRP what Michael Saylor did with Bitcoin—strategically accumulating and positioning it for long-term institutional use.” Hougan agreed, highlighting that XRP’s role in international remittances and liquidity solutions remains underappreciated, and the ongoing legal battle has hindered a more comprehensive evaluation of its utility-driven demand. Another major topic of discussion was the possibility of an spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). While Hougan did not reveal any detail about Bitwise’s ETF filing and its progress with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), he highlighted the firm’s confidence. “We don’t file for ETPs for fun. We file for them because we think they can launch, and we think there is a significant audience, and we think it’s an important asset.” While some analysts argue that XRP’s legal troubles have already been priced in, Hougan’s comments concluded that the potential upside remains largely ignored by the broader market. If the SEC case concludes favorably, the re-listing of XRP on major US exchanges, new institutional flows, and expanded adoption in banking systems could lead to a market repricing event. “There’s no guarantee XRP will be enormously successful, but there’s equally no guarantee that it won’t be,” Hougan emphasized. At press time, XRP traded at $2.12. Featured image from YouTube, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst ElmoX has asserted that the XRP price is still bullish despite the recent crypto market crash. His analysis revealed that XRP is set to face major resistance at $2.9, although he is confident that the crypto will eventually break this resistance and rally to as high as $20.  XRP Price Faces Resistance At $2.9 But Could Still Rally To $20 In a TradingView post, ElmoX outlined two scenarios for the XRP price as it eyes a rally to $20, although he noted that the crypto will retest the major resistance at around $2.92 either way, on its way to a new all-time high (ATH).  For the first scenario, the analyst stated that XRP would break this resistance and then skyrocket to $20.  Related Reading: XRP Price Can Fall Further To $1.5 If This Level Fails To Hold Meanwhile, in the second scenario, ElmoX stated that the XRP price could face another rejection, sending it below the $1.5 level before it witnesses a bullish reversal and rallies to a new ATH. The analyst revealed that he is betting on this second scenario since there is usually a swift crash before an impulsive move to the upside.  ElmoX remarked that the XRP price has barely corrected, which is also why he believes there could still be a massive crash before a rally to a new ATH. Meanwhile, the analyst didn’t provide an exact timing for the potential price correction and subsequent rally to a new ATH and the $20 price target.  Instead, he simply told market participants to be patient. He further warned that the XRP price might sit in price discovery until at least mid-July. His accompanying chart showed that XRP will first drop to as low as $1.20 before it witnesses an impulsive move to as high as $20.  The Altcoin Records A Bullish Close In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades noted that although the XRP price briefly broke below the $2 trendline, the candle closed back above this trendline, reclaiming the consolidation range. She remarked that this is exactly what bulls needed to see. However, the analyst added that a confirmation is needed with XRP holding the range between $2 and $2.03 as support.  Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge CasiTrades stated that a breakdown from consolidation usually leads to further downsides, but the XRP price managed to recover the level quickly, showing that buyers are stepping in. She also noted that the bullish divergence is still holding up to the 1-hour RSI even after the dip with selling pressure weakening, which suggests a shift in momentum is possible.  If the XRP price holds the support between $2 and $2.03, CasiTrades predicts that the crypto could bounce and rally toward $2.25 and $2.70. On the other hand, if XRP loses this level, she stated that the next major support sits at $1.90 which is the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. Meanwhile, there is also the possibility that XRP could drop to the 0.618 Fib retracement level at $1.54.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.10, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP has fallen below the $2 mark for the first time since early February, following the broader market breakdown that has pushed most cryptocurrencies lower. Despite the intense selling pressure, XRP has held up stronger than many other altcoins, avoiding the steep declines seen across the market. However, uncertainty remains high, with analysts divided on XRP’s next move. Related Reading: Charts Reveal Cardano Holds Key Support Zone – Staying Above Could ‘Set The Next Move’ Some experts believe that if XRP can reclaim key resistance levels, it could trigger a recovery rally, bringing back bullish momentum. On the other hand, bearish analysts warn of further downside, arguing that XRP’s failure to hold above support levels could lead to a deeper correction. Top analyst BigCheds shared a technical analysis on X, suggesting that XRP is on the verge of breaking down below the $1.90 mark. If this happens, XRP could see increased selling pressure, leading to a larger drop in price. With price at a pivotal level, traders are watching whether it can stabilize and recover or if further losses are on the horizon. The coming days will be crucial in determining XRP’s short-term trend as market volatility remains high. Crypto and Stock Markets Struggle Amid Uncertainty The entire crypto market has been struggling as negative macroeconomic conditions continue to weigh on investor sentiment. U.S. President Trump’s policies and global trade war tensions have created an environment of volatility and uncertainty, making it difficult for markets to stabilize. As a result, the U.S. stock market has plunged to its lowest levels since September 2024, adding to the overall risk-off sentiment across all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Rally Above ATH To $128K – On-Chain Indicator Signals Potential Recovery With fear and uncertainty rising, analysts are calling for a continuation of the downtrend across both traditional markets and digital assets. Investors remain hesitant to enter long positions, and many are waiting for clearer signals before making any moves. XRP, despite holding up better than some altcoins, is not immune to the broader market turmoil. BigChed’s technical insights on X warn that XRP is flirting with a range breakdown on the daily chart. According to his analysis, if XRP loses the $2–$1.90 support level, it could trigger a significant drop, opening the door for further downside pressure. As XRP hovers near this critical level, traders are closely monitoring whether bulls can defend key support or if the market-wide downturn will push prices even lower. With macroeconomic concerns and heightened volatility dominating the landscape, the coming days will be pivotal in determining XRP’s short-term trajectory. XRP Holds $2 Amid Heavy Selling Pressure XRP is currently trading at $2.13 after experiencing massive selling pressure over the past few days. Earlier, the price briefly dropped to $1.89, testing a critical support level before bouncing back above the $2 mark. Despite the short-term recovery, XRP remains under bearish control, and bulls must hold firm above $2 to prevent further downside. For XRP to regain momentum, buyers need to push prices toward key resistance zones around $2.30–$2.50. A strong move above these levels could confirm a recovery, helping XRP avoid a larger market-wide sell-off. However, failing to defend the $2 support would put XRP at risk of a deeper correction, with the next major demand zone sitting around $1.60.

XRP has been caught in the broader market downturn over the past week, shedding 19% of its value amid a wave of bearish sentiment. This downturn comes despite the fact that many analysts remain optimistic about its long-term prospects. One particular technical analyst has now weighed in on when it would be wise to buy XRP, warning that its short-term outlook is shaky and its price may continue declining. Analyst Identifies The Ideal Buy Zone For XRP The past week has been challenging for XRP holders as the token has struggled to maintain key support levels. Its inability to hold these levels has pushed it closer to the $2 mark. However, the latest technical analysis suggests that this decline may not be over yet, and a further downside movement appears likely. Related Reading: Pundit Who Correctly Predicted XRP Price Crash To $2.5 Says Demand Zone Will Send It Soaring This XRP price decline has caused growing uncertainty among many retail investors, especially because XRP is increasingly becoming the choice of coin for retail investors in this cycle. Given XRP’s growing reputation as a retail favorite and its long-term bullish potential, this decline would be the best time for bullish investors to load up on more tokens. However, a crypto analyst recently warned that the current price is not the ideal entry point for those looking to capitalize on the coin’s bullish potential. Although XRP is one of the most promising cryptocurrencies from a technical perspective, the timing of purchases is also important. In a post on X, the analyst noted that XRP is the “retail coin,” often drawing attention from new investors who are convinced it will reach extreme price levels like $100. Despite this bullish momentum, he cautioned against buying at current prices, stating that the best time to enter would be if XRP dips to the $1.6 to $1.5 range. What this means is that the current trend suggests more downside movement in the short term, and it would be wiser to wait more before accumulating. Long-Term Bullish Case Despite Short-Term Weakness Even as XRP’s short-term outlook appears bearish, the analyst remains aligned with those expecting a major price surge in the future. Several technical analyses have painted an optimistic picture, with some projections placing the altcoin well beyond the double-digit threshold. One analyst, in particular, has even predicted a rally to $27 despite the ongoing market downturn. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Reignites $100 XRP Price Target, What You Should Know The idea that XRP could eventually reach double and triple-digit valuations continues to attract investor interest, but this projection depends on market conditions and broader adoption trends. In the meantime, holders are struggling, without much success, to prevent a decline. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.16, down by 7.04% in the past 24 hours. The onus now is on whether the price can hold above $2. Even if it breaks below this level, it only opens up the possibility of an accumulation range between $1.6 to $1.5.

The XRP price performance has been one of the bright spots in the cryptocurrency market over the past seven days. With the crypto climate becoming more uncertain with each passing day, the XRP token has been the only large-cap asset exhibiting some level of relative stability. While the altcoin has been moving mostly sideways in recent weeks, the current speculation is that the price of XRP could be on its way to a bullish breakout. The question is — how far can the third-largest cryptocurrency in its next leg up? Can XRP Reclaim $3 In Next Move? In a March 7 post on the social media platform X, popular crypto trader Ali Martinez put forward an interesting prognosis for the value of XRP over the next few days. Martinez revealed that the altcoin’s price appears to be ready for a significant 23% breakout to the upside. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reclaims $90K But This Indicator Signals Possible Consolidation Phase The reasoning behind this bullish prediction is the appearance of a symmetrical triangle pattern on a short-term timeframe of the XRP chart. The symmetrical triangle is a technical analysis pattern characterized by a diagonal falling upper trendline (connecting the swing highs) and a diagonally rising lower trendline (along the price troughs). Typically, symmetrical triangle formations are considered trend continuation patterns, implying that the asset’s price tends to continue in its initial trend direction before falling into the triangle pattern. While in the triangle pattern, the price moves — in a tapering fashion — towards the symmetrical triangle’s apex. The price would eventually breach the falling (upper) trendline for a bullish breakout or break below the rising (lower) trendline forming a breakdown. While a trend reversal (I.e. the asset’s price breaks opposite its initial trend direction) is possible, the price is more likely to continue in the original trend direction after breaking out or down the current layout. In the current XRP price setup, the altcoin looks likely to break out of the symmetrical triangle and continue its upward trend. However, it is important to wait for the close of at least two candlesticks above the upper trendline to confirm a bullish breakout. Going by this logic, Martinez expects the price of XRP to surge to above $3 (about 23% growth from the current point) over the coming days. This price target was calculated by adding the length of the widest point of the symmetrical triangle (or base) to the breakout point. XRP Price At A Glance As of this writing, the XRP token is valued at $2.47, reflecting an over 5% price decline in the past 24 hours. Nevertheless, the altcoin’s performance on the weekly timeframe remains strong — at about 15% in the past seven days.

XRP is hovering around $2.52 on the daily chart, maintaining a delicate balance between bullish momentum and the potential for a major reversal pattern. Renowned crypto analyst Josh Olszewicz (known on X as @CarpeNoctom) shared a detailed Ichimoku-based chart, highlighting a possible Head and Shoulders formation. According to Olszewicz, a sustained break above $2.85 would likely invalidate bearish concerns tied to this classic reversal setup. Can XRP Bust Through $2.85? XRP’s most recent rally took shape in mid-October 2024, when it traded near $0.48 before rising sharply toward $3.3999 in early 2025. This rally unfolded quickly, hinting at robust buying pressure and a strong bullish sentiment through the end of 2024. However, after hitting that local peak of roughly $3.40, XRP has pulled back toward the $2.50 area, creating a pivot region that now defines the immediate trend direction. On Olszewicz’s chart, which employs Ichimoku settings of (20, 60, 120, 30), the price hovers near the Conversion Line (Tenkan-Sen) around $2.4750 while the Base Line (Kijun-Sen) sits closer to $2.5749. The Ichimoku Cloud itself projects forward, with Senkou Span A around $2.57 and Senkou Span B near $1.94, forming a green band that suggests broader bullish support as long as price stays above the Cloud. The chart shows that XRP has so far managed to remain above most Ichimoku levels, reflecting ongoing positive momentum despite recent volatility. Related Reading: XRP Price Retraces Gains From Sunday Rally, This Important Support Level Could Be The Defining Factor Within this framework, the Head and Shoulders formation looms as a potential signal of a bearish reversal. The formation appears to be anchored by a head near $3.3999, with potential “shoulders” close to the $2.85 and $2.90 zone. According to Olszewicz, a move above $2.85 should help negate the likelihood of a bearish breakdown, while sustained rejection below that level keeps the Head and Shoulders possibility firmly in play. Market participants will also be watching the $2.0 region, often interpreted as the neckline zone for this formation, because a decisive drop beneath it may confirm the reversal pattern. Additional price regions highlighted by the chart add clarity to the bullish-bearish tug-of-war. The Kijun-Sen around $2.5749 serves as an important medium-term pivot, frequently acting as both support and resistance in Ichimoku analysis. Meanwhile, the bottom of the Ichimoku Cloud near $1.94 stands as a last line of defence for bulls, should any deeper pullback occur. Related Reading: XRP Could Start An Explosive Move To $33 Within 28 Days, Says Analyst Ultimately, the broader sentiment hinges on whether XRP can break above the $2.85 threshold and thereby nullify the threat of this Head and Shoulders formation. If the market reclaims levels above that price zone, it would suggest bullish momentum remains intact. Conversely, failure to overcome $2.85, combined with a drop below $2.0, could point to a deeper reversal and invite further selling pressure. At press time, XRP traded at $2.60.

The XRP price is getting ready to surge to new highs as bulls attempt to hold a critical resistance level. Recently, the cryptocurrency experienced a major breakdown as market downside pressure increased. If it can break above its descending resistance, analysts believe it could bounce back above $3 soon. XRP Price Set To Skyrocket Above $3 A Pseudonymous TradingView crypto analyst known as “MyCryptoParadise” has outlined XRP’s future price trajectory, predicting a surge toward $3.3 for the popular cryptocurrency. The analyst shared a chart outlining key support and resistance levels while evaluating potential breakout and pullback scenarios. Related Reading: XRP Price About To Make A New All-Time High Run To $5? Here’s What The Chart Says In his price chart, the TradingView crypto expert highlighted that XRP is at a critical juncture, with bulls fighting to maintain momentum and hold onto a crucial resistance level after experiencing a sharp pullback from recent highs. XRP had triggered this massive price pump after hitting a major support zone between $2.00 and $1.95 — a level where buyers stepped in aggressively. However, the cryptocurrency failed to maintain its bullish momentum and experienced a pullback.  Currently, XRP is holding above the critical support zone around $2.3 to $2.2. The TradingView analyst has asserted that XRP bulls must defend this support area to keep the cryptocurrency’s bullish setup active or risk a downturn.  If buyers can maintain control and keep accumulating tokens around the support zone at $2.3 – $2.2 for the next few hours, the TradingView expert believes that XRP could see a major recovery back to previous highs around the $2.7 – $2.8 resistance zone.  While the altcoin’s current structure suggests an impending breakout, its descending resistance trendline still poses a potential threat to its upside momentum. Previously, this descending resistance rejected multiple price rallies, acting as a major obstacle to XRP’s price growth.  For XRP to confirm its bullish setup and initiate a significant breakout, the TradingView crypto analyst has suggested that it must close above the $2.85 level with substantial volume. If the cryptocurrency surpasses $2.85, the next major target could be $3.2 to $3.3 — a level where sellers are likely to step in aggressively.  Overall, XRP’s fundamentals remain solid and possibly bullish. However, failing to clear the descending resistance could invalidate this setup and potentially lead to another rejection and a drop to new lows.  Analyst Sets Seemingly Impossible Target For The Altcoin While other market analysts share conservative price projections for XRP, one expert, known as ‘Steph is Crypto’ on X (formerly Twitter), has set a rather ambitious target for XRP. The analyst believes that XRP is gearing up for an explosive price rally to $30. Related Reading: XRP Bulls Shake Off Crash, Target This Major Resistance On The Road To $3.85 Notably, XRP is currently trading below all-time highs at $2.56, meaning a surge to $30 would require a 1,100% increase in value. Considering the magnitude of this rally, the analyst’s prediction was met with skepticism from community members who suggested that such a scenario was seemingly impossible.

Crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) has released a chart update that could stir excitement among XRP holders. In his latest post on X, the analyst references historical price behavior, a potential channel formation, and precise technical indicators to suggest that XRP may be on the verge of a swift move toward the $27-$33 price range. The timeframe for this potential surge, according to his analysis, could be as short as 28 days if conditions mirror XRP’s 2017 bull run. XRP Price To Hit $33? Egrag opens his post by acknowledging the risk and difficulty of making time-based forecasts. “Sometimes, I throw myself under the bus with time predictions, but honestly, it’s worth sharing with the community! Even though I know it might backfire, I still give it a shot,” he writes. He also reiterates his broader philosophy: “Now, let me be clear—I never try to time the market because it’s nearly impossible. Instead, I follow the golden rule: ‘Time in the market is more important than timing the market!’” This balance between caution and optimism underscores the delicate nature of technical analyses in unpredictable cryptocurrency markets. Related Reading: XRP Price Can Fall Further To $1.5 If This Level Fails To Hold The centerpiece of Egrag’s analysis is a potential weekly channel that he believes strongly resembles the price structure XRP exhibited in 2017. He points out that, during that period, the cycle leading from the channel’s inception to the final breakout lasted approximately 175 days. Within that timespan, the token recorded a rise of about 2,500% from the lower boundary of the channel. That surge culminated in a cycle “blow-off top,” a term used by traders to describe a rapid price climb followed by an even quicker reversal. According to Egrag, these chart features appear to be resurfacing now, with XRP showing signs of maintaining support above the 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA). “We’re seeing similar XRP price action today, with the 21 EMA closing above and only a minor wick,” he notes, suggesting that the token’s price is finding strength near a well-watched moving average. Such support, if sustained, can be an early indicator that bullish momentum is building. One of the most eye-catching points in Egrag’s chart is his projection that XRP could climb toward the Fib 1.618 extension level, where he places a tentative target between $27 and $33. He explains that, if 2017’s channel pattern truly echoes today’s structure, XRP may replicate a similar percentage gain and time duration before hitting that upper range. “If we apply this same pattern to the current market, XRP could surge to the Fib 1.618 level, targeting $27-$33!” he writes. He further suggests that this parabolic move “could happen within just 28 days,” based on his historical observations. Before reaching this high, XRP could first target the Fib 1.272 level at $8.38, followed by the Fib 1.414 level at $13.67. These are historically relevant Fibonacci extension points that traders often monitor as price advances in an uptrend. Related Reading: XRP Price Bubble Burst? This Pattern Suggests Imminent Drop To $1.1 In the immediate short term, XRP is currently positioned at the 0.888 Fibonacci retracement level ($2.23), with additional support at the 0.786 level ($1.57) and 0.702 level ($1.78). These levels suggest that XRP is consolidating within a structured Fibonacci-based pattern before an anticipated breakout. This 28-day forecast is arguably the most striking part of his analysis, reflecting a break from his usual reluctance to pin down short-term timelines. Egrag concedes that timing market moves is notoriously challenging but remains confident that reviewing past cycles can still offer valuable insights. “Even though I know it might backfire, I still give it a shot,” he remarks, acknowledging the inherent volatility and unpredictability of crypto assets. At press time, XRP traded at $2.32. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price has retraced and lost the gains it recorded from its Sunday rally following Trump’s announcement that the crypto would be included in the crypto strategic reserve. Following this price correction, crypto analyst Trade City has key support levels that could determine XRP’s future trajectory.  Important Support Levels For The XRP Price In a TradingView post, Trade City highlighted $3.06717 and $1.67220 as critical support levels for the XRP price on the weekly timeframe. While analyzing the weekly chart, the analyst noted that after bouncing along the ascending trendline, XRP confirmed its breakout above $0.73056, which sparked the main bullish leg, sending the crypto up to $3.06717.  Related Reading: XRP Bulls Shake Off Crash, Target This Major Resistance On The Road To $3.85 In line with this, Trade City remarked that $3.06717 is the all-time high (ATH) and a major supply zone. He added that the next bullish leg could begin soon enough if the XRP price can hold above this level. Meanwhile, in the event of a price correction, the analyst stated that the only key support viable in the weekly timeframe is $1.67220.  Trade City revealed that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) oscillator has exited the overbought zone and returned to normal levels. He asserted that the bullish scenario for the XRP price becomes more likely if the RSI re-enters overbought conditions.  Analysis Of The Daily Timeframe Trade City went further to give an in-depth analysis of the XRP price on the daily timeframe. He stated that the first key observation on the daily timeframe for the XRP price is a strong bearish divergence on the RSI, which formed as the price moved sideways inside the range between $2.02967 and $3.30467.  Related Reading: XRP Long Term Potential Remains Extremely Bullish Possibility Of Price At $20 The crypto analyst revealed that the trigger for this bearish divergence is a break below $2.02967, which has yet to happen. The analyst warned that a break below this support level could happen soon due to a drop in the trading volume. If this range breaks downward and the support level at $2.02967 is lost, Trade City stated that the XRP price could enter a deeper correction toward key Fibonacci levels such as 0.382, 0.5, and 0.618.  The analyst noted that these three Fibonacci levels are strong support zones, which could prevent a further sell-off. Meanwhile, on the bullish side, if the XRP price breaks to the upside from its current range, the analyst assured that a new bullish leg will begin, pushing the crypto toward higher targets. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the XRP price could rally to as high as $4, marking a new ATH for the crypto.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.32, down over 12% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP price has remained afloat in 2025 despite the uncertain market condition where several large-cap assets have floundered. However, the altcoin did little to absorb the bearish pressure that hit the market over the past week. According to data from CoinGecko, the price of XRP has declined by nearly 16% in the last seven days. A popular crypto analyst on social media platform X revealed that the altcoin’s woes might just be about to begin. Here’s How XRP Is At Risk Of 50% Plunge In a March 1 post on X, crypto pundit Ali Martinez put forward an interesting projection for the XRP price, saying the fourth-largest cryptocurrency is at risk of significant downward pressure in the near future. Martinez suggested that the value of XRP could be almost halved over the next few weeks. Related Reading: Bitcoin Fills CME Gap Between $78,000 and $80,000 – Is A Reversal Around The Corner? This bearish forecast revolves around the formation of the head-and-shoulders pattern on the XRP chart on the 12-hour timeframe. The head-and-shoulders formation is a technical analysis pattern marked by three distinct swing highs, including a higher “head” between two lower “shoulders.” This chart pattern signals a possible trend reversal; usually a shift from an uptrend to a downward price trend. This trend reversal can be confirmed when the asset price breaks down beneath the neckline, which is a trendline connecting the troughs (swing lows) between the head. As shown in the above chart, the XRP price recently found support at the neckline around the $2 area before bouncing back toward $2.2. The price of XRP appears to be making a U-turn for a return to the neckline. If the altcoin does return, successfully breaches, and closes beneath the neckline, investors could see a shift to a downward trend. In the head-and-shoulders formation, the price target is calculated by subtracting the height of the pattern (vertical distance between the head and the neckline) from the breakout point. Based on this strategy, the price of XRP could target the $1.1 mark (roughly 50% decline from the current price point) if it breaks below $2. It is worth noting, though, that a strong 12-hour candlestick close above the $2.8 level would invalidate the current bearish outlook for the XRP price. Ultimately, if the XRP token reclaims $0.8, it could resume its bullish run and make a run for new highs in this cycle. XRP Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of XRP stands around $2.17, reflecting a 1% increase in the past 24 hours.

The crypto market is buzzing with excitement as XRP, one of the most resilient digital assets, stages a remarkable comeback. After navigating a challenging period marked by regulatory hurdles and market volatility, XRP is now breaking through key resistance levels with undeniable momentum. The spotlight is firmly fixed on the $2.25 mark, a critical barrier that could unlock the next chapter of XRP’s bullish journey. With technical indicators flashing green, institutional interest on the rise, and a broader crypto market recovery underway, XRP’s journey to $2.25 and beyond could be one of the most exciting narratives in crypto this year.  Breaking $2.25: A Gateway To New Highs? The $2.25 level holds immense technical and psychological importance for XRP. Historically, this zone has acted as a formidable resistance point, often dictating the direction of XRP’s price action. Breaking above it would validate the current bullish momentum and signal a potential shift in market sentiment toward stronger buying pressure, opening the door for further gains. Related Reading: XRP Price Wobbles at $2.00—Will Bulls Step In to Save The Week? A successful breakout above this zone would confirm strong bullish momentum, opening the door for growth toward $2.92 and even $3.4 in the near term. Historically, breaking key psychological and technical resistance levels has often triggered accelerated price action, as sidelined buyers step in and short sellers unwind their positions. As XRP builds momentum, technical indicators suggest that the rally could extend beyond $2.25, reinforcing a bullish outlook. One key indicator, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), is attempting to break above the 55 threshold. Once the altcoin moves above this level, it may spur demand for XRP, potentially fueling further upside momentum. Additionally, a rising RSI often aligns with strengthening price action, suggesting that buyers are gaining control. If the RSI continues to trend higher and crosses into the overbought territory (above 70), bullish momentum tends to build, increasing the likelihood of XRP challenging higher resistance levels. Bearish Possibilities While XRP’s recent rally has been impressive, the cryptocurrency is not immune to bearish pressures. As the market watches the asset challenge key resistance levels, attention is also turning to critical support zones that could determine whether the uptrend holds or gives way to a bearish breakdown. Related Reading: XRP Bears Resurface—Key Levels to Watch Now Weakening momentum, combined with failure to break above the $2.25 resistance level, points to renewed selling pressure, leading to a possible decline toward the $1.97 support zone. A rejection at this key resistance could signal exhaustion among buyers, allowing bears to regain control and push the price lower. In the event of a drop below $1.97, the next critical support levels to watch would be $1.85 and $1.75. Failure to hold these zones might reinforce a more extended bearish phase, exposing XRP to deeper corrections. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

While the XRP price is already down -42% since its peak at $3.40 on January 16, renowned technical trader Josh Olszewicz (@CarpeNoctom) warns that the next leg downward may be imminent. Sharing his daily chart analysis on X, Olszewicz writes, “1D XRP: H&S + bearish kumo breakout watch,” signaling that two significant technical developments could push XRP prices lower in the near future. Is XRP Poised To Crash Towards $1.24? The mention of an “H&S” refers to the Head and Shoulders pattern, a well-known reversal formation in technical analysis. The pattern typically emerges after a substantial upward rally and includes three successive peaks, with the middle peak (the “head”) higher than the flanking peaks (the “shoulders”). Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge In the case of XRP, Olszewicz’s chart suggests that the central head formed around $3.40 in mid-January, while the shoulders appear to be topping out between $2.83–$2.90. Technical analysts pay close attention to the “neckline,” which generally runs along a key support level beneath the peaks. When the price decisively breaks below this neckline, it is viewed as confirmation that selling pressure has overwhelmed buying interest, often leading to further downside. Olszewicz’s comment also highlights the phrase “bearish kumo breakout,” referencing the Ichimoku Cloud system, another prominent tool for charting and forecasting price momentum. Ichimoku Cloud analysis projects multiple moving averages forward on the chart and creates a “cloud” of support or resistance levels. A bearish kumo breakout arises when the price action clearly drops below the Ichimoku Cloud and the future cloud itself shifts in a way that indicates weaker bullish momentum. The core idea is that once an asset’s price slips under the cloud, a further decline becomes more likely, since the cloud that previously acted as support is no longer providing a cushion. From the chart Olszewicz provided, the current price action around $2.18 sits just above a conspicuous support area in the $2.00 region, which he interprets as the neckline for the Head and Shoulders pattern. If that zone gives way, bears could potentially dominate the market, with Fibonacci levels marked on the chart pointing to a possible first stop near $1.94, followed by an even steeper target. Related Reading: XRP Breaks Down Below Key Demand – Analyst Expects A Drop To $1.65 The chart appears to highlight a 161.8% Fibonacci extension level at around $1.24, which could come into play if selling accelerates. The presence of these Fibonacci levels does not guarantee a breakdown to those lows, but notably, a typical breakdown from the h&s pattern could spell even more doom. The profit target for the pattern is generally the price difference between the head and the low point of either shoulder. This difference is then subtracted from the neckline which could position the XRP price even below $1.00. Despite the stark warning about an impending “massive” price crash, it is crucial to note that Olszewicz’s commentary, “1D XRP: H&S + bearish kumo breakout watch,” should be viewed as an alert for traders rather than an irreversible prediction. Technical setups can fail if bullish momentum returns or if broader market fundamentals shift, but for now the entire crypto market seems driven by extreme fear. At press time, XRP traded at $2.03 Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

In line with the broader market trend, the XRP price is down almost -35% since its mid-January peak at $3.40, but according to analyst Dark Defender (@DefendDark), the downward trend may soon reach its conclusion. In his latest technical analysis, he highlights that XRP is finalizing an ABC correction pattern on the daily timeframe, supported by the fact that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching oversold conditions. This could indicate an imminent trend reversal leading to a new bullish wave structure. The ABC correction is a standard pattern in Elliott Wave Theory, representing a three-wave corrective movement that follows an impulsive rally. Wave A typically initiates the first decline, Wave B sees a temporary rebound, and Wave C marks the final leg down, often establishing a significant bottom. In XRP’s case, Dark Defender’s chart suggests that Wave C is nearing completion, meaning the asset may soon be ready for a new impulsive upward trend. Where Is The XRP Price Heading Next? From a technical perspective, XRP is approaching key support levels between $1.88 and $1.91, which could act as a strong foundation for a reversal. If price action confirms a bottom around this area, the next phase could involve a bullish breakout targeting several important resistance levels. The first key resistance sits at $2.44, which would need to be broken to confirm a shift in trend. Above that, the $2.99 zone becomes a critical hurdle before a potential rally toward $5.85, a level aligned with Fibonacci extensions. Related Reading: XRP Price Continuation After Crash Below $2.4? New Targets Emerge Looking at additional indicators, the RSI on the daily timeframe is nearing oversold conditions, a historically reliable signal that suggests selling momentum may soon exhaust itself. A sharp rebound from this area would reinforce the case for a bullish reversal. Furthermore, the chart shows that XRP has been forming a descending wedge pattern, a structure that is commonly associated with breakouts to the upside. A decisive move above the wedge’s resistance trendline could provide the necessary confirmation for the start of a new Elliott Wave cycle. Dark Defender projects that, once the correction phase is complete, XRP could begin a five-wave impulsive structure targeting a move toward $3.00 in Wave 1, followed by a brief pullback before an extended rally toward $5.00 – $5.85 in Wave 3. Subsequent consolidation in Wave 4 would then set up a final surge toward $8.00 in Wave 5, aligning with the 2.618 Fibonacci level as a potential long-term target. Related Reading: XRP Breaks Down Below Key Demand – Analyst Expects A Drop To $1.65 For traders watching XRP’s price action, the $2.44 and $2.99 resistance levels will be critical. A breakout above these zones would confirm the start of a bullish uptrend, while failure to hold the $1.88 – $1.91 support range could signal further downside risk. With momentum indicators pointing toward exhaustion in selling pressure, a reversal seems increasingly probable, making this an important period for XRP’s market structure. “XRP is close to finalising the ABC correction pattern in the daily time frame, considering the lowest RSI figures. RSI is close to the oversold area. The expected first wave will be towards $3, and our aim will be between $5 and $8, with Wave 3-5,” Dark Defender concludes. At press time, XRP traded at $2.21.

XRP’s recent price movements have followed a pattern that crypto analyst Javon Marks believes signals the potential for a strong continuation rally. Sharing his analysis on the social media platform X, Marks pointed to a “hidden bullish divergence” on XRP’s daily candlestick chart. Despite the ongoing price crash, the presence of this bullish divergence opens up new bullish targets for the XRP price. XRP’s Price Crash Worsens, But Hidden Bullish Divergence Suggests Next Move XRP’s price action has faced consistent downward pressure over the past week, with the decline intensifying in the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, XRP has dropped by approximately 13% in the past 24 hours and is on the verge of retesting a crucial support level at $2. Related Reading: XRP Price Breaks Out Of Symmetrical Triangle Pattern, Why The Target Is $8 However, an interesting analysis shows that this decline is part of a hidden bull divergence pattern, where both the price and the RSI indicators are creating a series of highs and lows on the 1-day candlestick timeframe. This interesting pattern is characterized by higher lows and higher highs on the XRP price chart, while there’s a series of lower lows and lower highs on the RSI indicator. This divergent formation between the cryptocurrency’s price and the RSI is known to be bullish. Particularly, it suggests the selling pressure shown by the RSI could be slowing down. Javon Marks emphasized that XRP is preparing for a “massive continuation wave up” and that the necessary technical confirmations for such a move are already in place. This assertion builds upon his earlier February 18 analysis, where he described the hidden bullish divergence as forming in a “textbook fashion. Crash To Reverse Soon? Price Targets To Watch According to Javon Mark’s projection, an upside move would see the XRP price eventually creating a higher high, as expected from the bullish divergence pattern. In terms of a specific price target, Mark’s projection shows that the next peak could reach at least $3.80. If realized, this would push XRP beyond its current all-time high of $3.40.  Related Reading: XRP Price Rallies To ATH At $3.4, Here’s What’s Driving It And Why The Pump Will Continue However, this outlook hinges on the XRP price holding above the bullish divergence support at $2. Any sustained breakdown below this threshold could challenge the strength of the projected rally and alter the bullish outlook. Adding to this perspective, Marks also noted the similarity between XRP’s consolidation in the past few weeks since it reached $3.36 and that of a consolidation after a strong rally in the first half of 2017 after a strong rally.  Although the current consolidation phase has lasted longer than the one observed back then, both formations share key structural similarities. The 2017 consolidation ultimately led to a continuation rally that pushed the XRP price to new highs. If history repeats itself, the present consolidation could also be a precursor to another significant leg up. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.15, down by 13.2% and 15.9% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively, and is now in danger of losing the $2.0 support soon.
