South Korean retail traders were frenzying over “high momentum” tokens including XRP, DOGE, ENS, and HBAR on Dec. 2 trading.
XRP whales and retail investors have accumulated more than $1.6 billion in tokens over the past month, leading one analyst to predict a new all-time high above $6 in 2025.
Following a week-long period of sideways movement, XRP has resumed its bullish trajectory gaining by 19.81% on Friday to reach a local peak of $1.84. During this price rally, market shares of the prominent altcoin rose to $104.96 billion, as it became the fifth-largest cryptocurrency brushing past Binance Coin (BNB).

The resignation of Gary Gensler as the Chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), effective January 20th -the same day President-elect Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated – is set to be a monumental day for the XRP community. In his latest video, crypto analyst Rodney (@cryptojourneyrs) shared an analysis of the price potential in the post-Gensler era. At the time of his analysis, XRP was trading at $1.43, reflecting a remarkable 172% increase over the past month. The market capitalization had soared to $81 billion, accompanied by $22 billion in daily trading volume. “XRP is starting to return to its normal spot in crypto, being one of the dominant altcoins,” Rodney remarked. Why XRP Is Poised To Surge Higher In his video, Rodney suggests that Trump’s promise to fire Gensler on his first day in office may have influenced Gensler’s decision to resign preemptively. “Gary Gensler is going to be stepping down from his role as the chair of the SEC January 20th, the same day Trump is going to be inaugurated,” Rodney stated. “Trump promised to fire Gary Gensler on day one, so I think Gary Gensler wanted to go out on his shield and resign on his own.” Related Reading: XRP Analyst Sets $2 Target If It Holds Key Level – Can It Reach Multi-Year Highs? Reflecting on the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple, Rodney noted the significant impact it had on the price and market perception. “When the SEC sued Ripple, [XRP] price dipped 50%. This was one of many lawsuits that the SEC and Gary Gensler filed against many different crypto projects. It seemed like they were trying to regulate the space out of existence,” Rodney stated. He pointed out that despite the legal challenges, XRP remained a top cryptocurrency. “Even through all the BS, XRP has still been a top crypto and it really hasn’t fallen out of the top 10 in many years,” he said. Rodney also discussed Ripple’s partial victory against the SEC in July 2023, which set a significant precedent in the crypto industry. However, he expressed surprise that the price did not react more positively at the time. “When we heard about that news of them partially beating the SEC, XRP started to pump to around $0.67 but then promptly dipped down to about $0.50 and didn’t really do anything,” he observed. “It wasn’t moving with the cryptocurrency market at all… It was a running joke that it was kind of our favorite stablecoin.” Turning to the political landscape, Rodney explained: “Donald Trump actually ended up destroying Kamala Harris and is going to be the next president of the United States,” he stated. He emphasized Trump’s pro-crypto stance, noting that he was “much more open about supporting crypto” and was “the first president to purchase anything with cryptocurrency.” Rodney highlighted the involvement of various crypto projects in political campaigns, mentioning that “many cryptocurrency products were funding both candidates’ campaigns behind the scenes.” Related Reading: XRP To Hit $40 In 3 Months But On This Condition – Analyst With the political shift, Rodney expressed optimism about the future integration of cryptocurrency into government systems. “Now more than ever, it seems like cryptocurrency is going to be involved with our government, and in my opinion, XRP is going to be up there with the top projects,” he asserted. He elaborated on XRP’s core objectives, stating, “What is XRP trying to do? They want to be used for international money transfers […] They want to enable fast and low-cost international money transfers and currency exchanges.” He suggested that with supportive figures in government, XRP could realize this potential. How High Can XRP Price Go? Rodney also delved into his price predictions for XRP, considering various market capitalization scenarios. If XRP were to achieve Ethereum’s market cap of approximately $400 billion, it would result in a 4.9x increase from its current price, bringing XRP to around $6.98. “Say, for example, XRP becomes a part of our government and we actually use it for its real utility. Everyone uses it, and it magically got the same market cap size of Ethereum,” he speculated. Imagining XRP reaching Bitcoin’s market cap of about $2 trillion, he calculated a 24x increase, which would place XRP at approximately $33. “Let’s fantasize a little crazier […] Say we gave it Bitcoin’s market cap size that’s currently sitting around $2 trillion,” he mused. He considered a $10 XRP, corresponding to a $600 billion market cap, as a reasonable possibility. “I think that a $10 XRP or an XRP with a $600 billion market cap size is reasonable,” he concluded. However, Rodney acknowledged the challenges inherent in these predictions, noting that “it would be tough for any cryptocurrency project to hit those market cap sizes because Bitcoin’s dominating the entire market right now.” At press time, XRP traded at $1.40.

XRP price could imitate and "pull like Dogecoin" if a bullish chart pattern is confirmed.
XRP is holding above a key support level despite significant selling pressure and fear in the crypto market. After experiencing a 20% retrace since August 24, the price remains stable above the $0.50 mark, sparking hope among investors and analysts.

An inverse-head-and-shoulder pattern is developing on the XRP weekly chart, awaiting a breakout toward $1.
Crypto pundit and YouTube influencer Levi Rietveld has projected a bold price target of $10,000 for XRP with his 117,000 followers. His prediction is backed by major developments within Ripple’s adoption and integration into Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Notably, the prediction is influenced by James Wallis, Vice President of CBDCs at Ripple, who has been vocal about Ripple’s ongoing global projects and pilots. In a video that gained significant attention on social media, Levi outlined the potential trajectory for XRP, emphasizing its use in extensive pilot projects and private ledgers across multiple continents—excluding Antarctica. According to Levi, these initiatives could catapult the XRP price to “skyrocket past $10,000 per coin if it all falls into place.” Is $10,000 Per XRP Possible? Levi is referencing interviews with Wallis where he details Ripple’s approach for partnerships with central banks worldwide. He explains that Ripple has been developing private versions of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) tailored to the specific needs of central banks that prioritize privacy and security, leveraging the robust, open-source technology of the public XRPL. Related Reading: XRP Set To Explode? Top Analyst Predicts $33 Rally This strategy allows central banks to utilize a blockchain platform without exposing sensitive transaction data. “The XRP Ledger technology is proven; it has been processing billions of transactions,” Wallis stated, underscoring the reliability and scalability of the technology. Wallis’s unveiled a strategic pivot towards creating a hybrid blockchain system that combines the transparency and efficiency of public blockchains with the privacy controls essential for central bank operations. This bespoke approach has reportedly gained traction, with Ripple working on more than ten active projects across various continents, as Bitcoinist reported. Levi’s enthusiasm for XRP’s potential price explosion is further fueled by recent regulatory developments. He emphasizes significant victories for Ripple against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). “Our recent wins from the SEC prove that well these institutions are going to start being able to use the XRPL how they see fit,” Levi commented. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts 42,263% Breakout For XRP Price To $280, Here’s The Roadmap The pundit linked these regulatory advancements directly to potential massive adoption, implying that as legal barriers diminish, financial institutions could integrate XRPL more broadly and deeply into their operational frameworks. This adoption would enhance transaction efficiencies and reduce costs, making XRP more indispensable as a bridging currency in international trade and finance. The anticipation of XRP’s integration into mainstream financial operations has stirred considerable excitement among the XRP army. The potential application across CBDC projects could have a substantial impact on the token’s price. An extensive adoption could significantly increase demand for XRP, driving up its price. Levi’s projection of XRP reaching $10,000 is predicated on the convergence of technological adoption and regulatory acceptance, which could “skyrocket” its value. However, it is important to note that even in the community, the price target of $10,000 is more than controversial. To reach this price, XRP would have to rise by a whopping 1,700,000%. At press time, XRP traded at $0.50. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
Crypto analyst Doctor Magic (@Doctor_Magic_) has outlined three reasons for investors to consider buying XRP now. In a series of posts on the X, Doctor Magic detailed the dynamics and data points positioning XRP as a potentially lucrative investment in the current state of the market. #1 Relative Strength Of XRP The crypto analyst highlights the XRP price relative to Bitcoin (BTC) and its resilience in the broader market. “XRP’s strength against BTC and across the board is notable and should not be ignored at this point. When markets turn up again (soon) the pump on XRP will be violent!” This analysis is based on a chart that plots the market cap dominance of as a ratio against BTC and the entire crypto market on a weekly timeframe. The dominance percentage is a critical metric, serving as an indicator of market capitalization relative to BTC, and thus reflects relative investment flows and market preferences. From 2016 to 2021, XRP’s dominance displayed a significant downward trend, suggesting a period during which market preference leaned heavily towards Bitcoin. However, beginning in 2022, this trend leveled off, indicating a potential stabilization or bottoming relative to Bitcoin. This phase suggests that XRP may have found a floor in terms of its market cap dominance, setting the stage for a possible reversal. Related Reading: XRP Ledger Sees Sharp Decline In Major Metric That Threatens To Send XRP Price To $0.2 A key support level for XRP/BTC is identified at 0.00000750 by the analyst. This level has been tested multiple times without a decisive break, establishing it as a critical floor where market sentiment has consistently supported the price relative to BTC. In 2024, following a bounce off this support area, there was a noticeable increase in dominance, suggesting growing investor confidence in its potential for a recovery. In terms of dominance over the entire crypto market (XRP.D), the metric currently stands at 1.47%. After touching down in the support zone ranging from 1.02% to 1.05%, XRP.D also experienced an uptick, further underscoring the renewed market interest and potential bullish sentiment. #2 Recovery Post-Dump With Stable Open Interest Doctor Magic also highlights a notable aspect of the market behavior — its swift recovery from yesterday’s price crash without any increase in open interest (OI). “XRP has now retraced the whole yesterday dump with zero OI added. ZERO. And negative funding,” remarked Doctor Magic. Related Reading: Why XRP Price Won’t Skyrocket After Ripple-SEC Ruling: Crypto Pundit This recovery pattern is significant as it implies the rebound was not fueled by a surge in speculative trading or new positions being opened, but rather by solid buying interest, likely from investors confident in fundamentals or long-term potential. #3 Support From Historical Open Interest Level Finally, the crypto analyst points to the current levels of Open Interest (OI) for XRP, which aligns with a historical baseline that has consistently marked significant market tops and bottoms over the past four years. “OI on XRP at the baseline [blue line] that has marked every top and every bottom the last 4 years,” Doctor Magic notes. This observation suggests that current OI levels are at a critical juncture, indicative of potential turning points in the market. Historically, when OI reaches these levels, it has preceded major price movements. At press time, XRP traded at $0.5030. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
XRP has emerged as a standout performer among the top-100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization today, recording a substantial 7% increase over the past 24 hours. This surge in XRP’s price occurs amidst swirling speculations of a forthcoming settlement or remedies ruling in the Ripple-SEC case. Amid these developments, XRP is dominating discussions on X (formerly Twitter), where a flurry of optimistic posts paint a bullish scenario for the cryptocurrency. Among the vocal proponents contributing to this positive outlook is crypto analyst Doctor Magic (@Doctor_Magic_), who shared several different time frame analyses for XRP. Short-Term Outlook For XRP (4-Hour Chart) The first chart posted by the crypto analyst shows the XRP/USD trading pair on a 4-hour time frame. The chart highlights the currently most crucial resistance zone (in red) just above the $0.70 mark. This resistance level is critical, as Doctor Magic suggests that surpassing this could pivot XRP towards new all-time highs (ATHs). Related Reading: XRP Price Jumps As Ripple Leadership Blasts SEC’s ‘Hypocritical’ Crypto Regulation However, he warns of potential short-term (LTF) rejections despite the higher time frame (HTF) indicators appearing bullish, advising traders to exercise caution with leverage long positions in this zone. “XRP most heavy resistance, get above that and we go for ATHs. Note that even though HTF XRP is primed on LTF this resistance could cause a LTF rejection, wouldn’t jump into leverage longs here.” The chart shows an uptrend line that XRP has successfully maintained, suggesting a strong bullish momentum. The focal point is the resistance zone above $0.70, which if breached, could potentially lead to higher price levels. The first target could be the price level above $0.90 which was last seen after the summary judgment by Analisa Torres on July 13 last year. A crucial element in Doctor Magic’s analysis is the breakout observed in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI demonstrates a clear upward breach of its previous trendline, signaling robust momentum. Currently at 67, the RSI is approaching the overbought threshold, which could suggest some notably bullish days ahead for XRP’s price action if the cryptocurrency runs red hot. Related Reading: XRP Price Poised For ‘Ultimate Breakout’ With $18 Price Target: Crypto Analyst Notably, the $0.70 zone as the key resistance area aligns with the Bollinger Bands analysis in the monthly chart. XRP surged above the middle band with the latest move and is now on the verge of breaking the upper band. “Today we confirm the breakout on monthly RSI. XRP is less than 10% to trigger volatility to come back which is at all time lows, $0.7 is the area to watch,” Doctor Magic explained. Long-Term Prediction For XRP (Weekly Chart) With regards to the higher time frames, Doctor Magic believes that it is too early to predict the cycle top price. Via X, he wrote, “Many of you are asking for my target on XRP, the answer is it depends. If I am right and alts lead the next leg up it will be the nail in the coffin for ‘it’s 2017 again’ and I will be looking for two tops, the second one will be determined by the first one.” The chart shared by the crypto analyst highlights several key Fibonacci retracement levels derived from XRP’s historical price movements, which could serve as critical points for potential reversals or continuation of trends. These include the 0.618 Fibonacci level at approximately $0.91, indicating a moderate resistance point. The 0.786 level sits at around $1.61, serving as a stronger psychological and technical barrier. The parity level or the 1 Fibonacci level is set at $3.31, which marked the April 2021 all-time high. Beyond this, the analysis extends into Fibonacci extension territory, with the 1.272 level at about $8.29, and the 1.414 level at roughly $13.37. The most notable and perhaps ambitious target is the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level, which is placed at approximately $26.60. The analyst concluded, “My point is it’s too soon to speak about final target, need more data for that and I will update when its time. For the impatient of you my best guess is we see double digits XRP and that $26.5 will be tagged.” At press time, XRP traded at $0.6539. Featured image created with DALL·E, chart from TradingView.com
Crypto analyst Dark Defender has shared an extremely bullish technical analysis on XRP via X, suggesting a bullish reversal and the possibility of “God Candles.” The analysis uses a variety of technical indicators and chart patterns to project an optimistic outlook for XRP. XRP Price Poised For ‘God Candles’? The core of Dark Defender’s (@DefendDark) analysis is focused at two indicators which suggest a change of trend. The first one is the breakout above a descending trendline. This move is critical as it means that XRP eliminated its first key resistance and suggests a potential reversal from the downward trend which started in mid-March. It is particularly noteworthy as it indicates a shift in market sentiment from bearish to bullish. Supporting this trend reversal is the Fisher Transform indicator, which is crucial for identifying major price reversals. The Fisher Transform uses price data to produce a Gaussian normal distribution to signal potential changes in market direction. Related Reading: XRP Resilience Sparks Further Gains As Price Surpasses $0.466 Level On the weekly chart, a ‘Golden Cross’ is visible where the faster line of the Fisher Transform crosses above the slower line, typically a bullish signal in market analysis. This event is essential as it provides confirmation of the trend reversal signaled by the breakout from the descending trendline. “Ladies & gentlemen, XRP had the highly bullish Reversal approval for the Fisher Indicator weekly. Initial resistance instantly broke at $0.4623!” the crypto analyst remarked. However, it’s important to note that the digital asset is still navigating below the Ichimoku Cloud, indicating that resistance still lies ahead. The Ichimoku Cloud is a comprehensive indicator that provides insight into the momentum and future areas of support and resistance. Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes Colossal 280% Breakout Amid CME Group Partnership While the breakout from the descending trendline and the bullish Fisher Transform signal are promising, the price remaining below the Cloud suggests that XRP has yet to clear all hurdles and establish a stronger bullish presence. Additionally, the chart also details several key Fibonacci levels that are critical for understanding the next potential resistance and support zones. After breaking the initial resistance at $0.4623, XRP is currently testing the interim Fibonacci level at $0.5286. Dark Defender emphasizes the significance of the price closing above this level to sustain the bullish momentum: “Our interim Fibonacci Level, $0.5286, is being tested. It would be great to close this week’s candle above $0.53.” Notably, the XRP price didn’t manage to close the week above this price. Despite that, XRP is currently continuing the upward trend, trading above $0.53 today. The next resistance point to level is at $0.6044. Surpassing this level could lead to the creation of multiple “God Candles,” suggesting a rapid and sustained increase in price. Dark Defender remarked, “Next week, we will test the secondary mid-level resistance of $0.6044. It’s crucial not to underestimate the master fundamental level for XRP, which is $0.6649. Above it, we can expect multiple God Candles, which will open the path to Heaven’s Stairway.” At press time, XRP traded at $0.53494. Featured image created with DALL·E, chart from TradingView.com
In an analysis shared via X and YouTube, crypto analyst Matt “The Great Mattsby” Hughes highlighted what could be a historic move for the XRP price, based on the Bollinger Bands indicator. Hughes points to an impending squeeze in XRP’s monthly Bollinger Bands, suggesting a potential spike similar to previous rallies where the cryptocurrency saw massive gains. Hughes explained via X: “XRP has one of the tightest monthly Bollinger Band squeezes in its history and in all of crypto right now. The last time it squeezed like that, it shot up 60,000%.” In a YouTube video, the crypto analyst went into more detail, explaining how the XRP price has behaved in the past when the Bollinger Bands have been this tight. XRP Could Skyrocket To $250 The first instance, according to Hughes, occurred between September 2016 and March 2017. During this period, the XRP price consolidated for several months, causing the Bollinger Bands to tighten dramatically. After this period of consolidation, the XRP price skyrocketed, achieving gains that Hughes estimates to be around 60,000%. The second time was from December 2020 to April 2021. In this case, XRP rose by around 1,000%. “So it was much less than this period here and simply because it looks like it wasn’t as tight as it was right here [the first time], we can see it was much tighter during the first time,” Hughes explained. Related Reading: Crypto Whales Buy The Dip As $22 Million In XRP Flows Out Of Binance This is the third time. Notably, “is the tightest it has ever been, even tighter than the first time, which suggests that it should explode much higher than previous cycles,” he said. The Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool defined by a set of trendlines two standard deviations (positive and negative) away from a simple moving average (SMA) of a security’s price, but can be adjusted to suit the user’s preferences. A narrowing of these bands typically indicates low volatility with the potential for a major bullish or bearish price movement once the bands begin to widen again. Hughes also examines the duration from the all-time high to the current price, noting that 2,373 days have elapsed. This long period of relative inactivity in price growth, combined with the extreme tightness of the Bollinger Bands, forms the basis of his prediction of an imminent significant move higher. “It’s the tightest in its history as well so that just kind of proves to me that there is going to be a move sometime in the near future. I’m not sure when but sometime, we can see that this is looking more and more like it wants to break out,” Hughes remarked. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts XRP Price Crash To $0.07 Amid Triangle Breakdown In addition to the technical perspective, he also discussed XRP’s price performance relative to its 20-month moving average. He notes that, similar to previous patterns, XRP has spent a considerable amount of time below this moving average prior to significant rallies. In both previous instances, XRP’s breakout was preceded by a period below this moving average, followed by a breakout that began after testing the bottom of the Bollinger Band. Notably, the price of XRP hasn’t yet tested the bottom of the Bollinger band. Therefore, Hughes speculates about a potential price drop as a “final flush out”, possibly down to the $0.30 area before a potential breakout. Such a move would be in line with previous cycles where a test of the lower Bollinger Band has led to strong rallies. “So there is a possibility that the price could come down to test it. Maybe one last flush out maybe down into the $0.30s, we don’t know but if that’s the case then that’s just more confluence of the previous cycles that price can still just break out,” he concluded. By the way, if history were to repeat itself and XRP were to increase by 62,000%, it would reach a price of $250. At press time, XRP traded at $0.44574.

Crypto analyst @Ripple_Effect11 predicts an imminent XRP price crash in a new technical analysis shared via X. His prediction is underpinned by a bearish breakout from a major triangle pattern that has been forming since the $3.84 all-time high on January 4, 2018. The analysis paints a dark picture for XRP in the coming months, with a potential drop to as low as $0.07, contingent on certain technical events. Why The XRP Price Could Crash To $0.07 Elliott Wave Theory, which forms the basis of @Ripple_Effect11’s analysis, is a form of technical analysis that predicts future price movements by identifying recurring wave patterns linked to investor psychology. The theory posits that market movements primarily unfold in five ‘impulse’ waves followed by three ‘corrective’ waves. In the case of XRP, the analyst identifies that the cryptocurrency has been in a corrective phase since its peak in 2018, marked by an A-B-C correction pattern. Wave A saw a sharp decline as low as $0.105 in March 2020. Wave B experienced a partial retracement upwards to $1.96 in April 2021. Wave C, where XRP is currently, is typically the final leg and involves another downward move, often completing the corrective phase. Related Reading: XRP Holds Bullish 2014-2017 Pattern Unless This Happens: Analyst The analysis suggests that within this final Wave C, XRP is undergoing its sub-waves. It’s currently in the third wave which traditionally is significant in terms of the depth and length of the price movement. Notably, the chart also shows a large triangle formation which has encapsulated the price action of XRP over several years. A triangle in technical analysis often represents a period of consolidation before the price breaks out decisively in one direction. According to @Ripple_Effect11, last week’s close below $0.42 confirmed a bearish breakout from this pattern and further supports the theory of a massive price crash. “No one is talking about this MASSIVE XRP triangle breakdown. A weekly close below $0.42 is extremely bearish,” he stated. Related Reading: Buy The Dip? XRP Whales Doing Exactly That – Is A Price Rally Next? The analyst’s first target is at $0.33 where minor psychological support may exist. A second, more significant target at $0.18, which could represent a firmer historical support zone. The third target ranges between $0.12 and $0.14, possibly acting as interim support before more substantial selling. This price represents the end of the third wave. Amidst the fourth wave, the crypto analyst predicts that the XRP price could rebound above $0.18 before the final wave 5 pushes XRP even further down. The final target is between $0.07 and $0.08, translating into a more than 80% crash from the current price level. These targets are corroborated by technical indicators on the chart. The MACD is trending below its signal line, highlighting bearish momentum. The RSI is near 45, suggesting a lack of strong buying pressure and potential for further decline. Ripple Ruling Could Start The Trend Reversal Adding context to the technical analysis is the ongoing Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit, which the analyst notes is expected to conclude by July 2026. The outcome of the legal battle is anticipated to have significant implications for the XRP price. “Smart money sees buy targets 3 and 4 as attractive before the big utility pump from 2026 to 2030. Ripple Vs SEC started in 2020. XRP was classified as NOT a security in 2023. Ripple wins the case and XRP pumps hard 2026. Will you be patient?,” the crypto analyst concludes. At press time, XRP traded at $0.43448. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart form TradingView.com
The latest chart analysis by crypto analyst @Cryptobilbuwoo0, published via X, offers a compelling narrative for XRP’s potential upward trajectory when juxtaposed against the total cryptocurrency market capitalization. The analyst emphasizes key technical indicators and historical patterns, suggesting that XRP might be on the brink of a significant bullish phase. XRP Price Poised To “Bounce” The XRP/Total chart primarily illustrates a descending trajectory that began forming from its early 2018 peak. This overarching downtrend is marked by successive lower highs that articulate a consistent descending trendline. Moreover, @Cryptobilbuwoo0 highlights the ‘Bounce Back Line,’ a horizontal support line that has historically acted as a crucial reversal point for the XRP price action. The chart shows several instances where the price of XRP, upon reaching this line, has rebounded dramatically. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Rally 102,590% To $500, But There’s A Catch The last instance of XRP interacting with the “Bounce Back Line” was on December 28, 2020. Following this touchpoint, the price soared over 1,100%, climbing from $0.18 to $2. Earlier, on February 27, 2017, XRP escalated from just under $0.02 to $3.35 within 10 months. Currently, XRP is once again nearing the “Bounce Back Line.” Given the historic outcomes following support from this level, the analyst predicts another significant rally may be on the horizon. The chart analysis further deepens with a nuanced look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Wavetrend Indicator (WT Krypt), which are pivotal to understanding the market’s momentum and potential reversals. The 14-day RSI is currently nearing 31, approaching the oversold territory which historically signals a buying opportunity or a trend reversal. This is evident in the past markings on the chart, where similar RSI levels have coincided with the “Bounce Back Line” and substantial upward price movements. The Wavetrend Indicator, used for spotting the start and end of cycles in the cryptocurrency’s price, has shown several bullish signs. Bullish divergences have been a critical focus, occurring when the price of XRP makes new lows while the indicator does not follow suit, suggesting a decrease in downward momentum. Moreover, the recent crossover of the Wavetrend lines (red crossing over blue) is typically interpreted as a bullish entry signal, indicating potential upward price movement. Related Reading: XRP Whale Goes On Shopping Spree: 27 Million Coins Snapped Up As Price Dips In addition to the primary indicators, the analyst has annotated the chart with past price actions and highlighted areas and patterns, such as bullish divergences. These annotations serve to emphasize significant trading zones and anticipated trend shifts based on historical data. The marked sections of the chart indicate that each time similar conditions were met, there followed a significant increase in the XRP price, reinforcing the bullish outlook presented in the current analysis. @Cryptobilbuwoo0’s analysis suggests that XRP, currently positioned at a historically significant price level and supported by bullish indicator signals, is poised for a potential breakout. This outlook is bolstered by the RSI nearing oversold conditions and the positive signals from the Wavetrend Indicator. If the historical pattern repeats, the crypto asset could see a substantial rally, affirming the analyst’s perspective: Looking at the XRP/Total chart, XRP has always risen significantly from the rebound line. Indicators are also calling the bulls. XRP always moves alone like a maverick. XRP’s showtime begins. At press time, XRP traded at $0.49.

XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with Ripple, has been locked in a lengthy period of consolidation, trading between $0.300 and $0.600 for the past seven years. Despite a brief surge during the 2021 bull run that saw XRP reach a three-year high of $1.9 in April, the token has since returned to its range, lacking the bullish momentum to overcome upper resistance levels. However, some crypto analysts are now predicting a major uptrend for XRP in the coming months, potentially propelling it to new heights. Analysts Anticipate XRP Breakout A technical analyst using the pseudonym “U-COPY” on the social media site X (formerly Twitter) suggests that XRP could experience significant movement between May 15 and August. U-COPY points out that XRP has been slowly moving up from its previous low at $0.46 and is nearing the end of a long triangle formation, which has been in accumulation since 2018. The analyst believes that XRP’s real potential will be revealed in the fully formed bull cycle, with the token possibly experiencing substantial growth by the end of the year. Related Reading: Brace For Impact: Mt. Gox Set To Inject 142,000 BTC And 143,000 Bitcoin Cash Into The Market- Here’s When Supporting this bullish outlook, another analyst, Armando Pantoja, proposes that the crypto bull run could begin in September or October 2025, with XRP potentially reaching a price of $0.75. Pantoja further suggests that if former US President Trump wins the election and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) eases its stance on cryptocurrencies, XRP could be propelled to higher levels. This change in regulatory dynamics, combined with the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC, may increase the likelihood of XRP gaining approval for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) similar to Bitcoin. Pantoja outlines a price range of $1-2 for an XRP ETF announcement in early 2025. If interest rates are cut multiple times during the same period, XRP could potentially reach $5-10. Ultimately, Pantoja predicts the possibility of XRP hitting $10-$20 by the fourth quarter of 2025 or the first quarter of 2026. ‘Buy the Dip’ Opportunity? According to market intelligence platform Santiment, The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has recently witnessed a notable increase in the movement of dormant tokens, signaling a potential shift in market dynamics for the token. Coinciding with the opening of May, the company’s Token Age Consumed metric reveals a spike in the transfer of old coins, reminiscent of a similar occurrence in April, just before a significant downturn in the market. During that period, XRP experienced a sharp decline in value, dropping by 16%. However, in contrast to the previous event, Santiment suggests that there is a “compelling argument” that this current surge in old coin movement might be attributed to the interest of key stakeholders looking to “buy the dip.” Related Reading: This Crypto Expert Called The Bitcoin Top in 2021, Now He’s Calling The Bottom In 2024 Furthermore, it is worth noting the growing open interest in exchanges, which has recently reached a three-week high. This uptick in open interest indicates increased active positions in XRP, potentially reflecting growing market participation and heightened trading activity. Considering these factors together—the surge in dormant token activity, the potential buy-the-dip interest from key stakeholders, and the rising open interest on exchanges—there appears to be a shift in sentiment surrounding XRP. At press time, the seventh-largest cryptocurrency trades at $0.5020, down over 7% in the past week alone and 1% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView.com
XRP has shown notable signs of renewed bullish momentum in the market. It bounced back from a significant 11% price drop on April 12th, which took the token to its lowest level of the year at $0.4230. However, last week saw a solid 12% price recovery, with XRP outperforming the other top 10 altcoins in the market, behind only Solana (SOL) and Binance Coin (BNB). Signs Of A Strong Bullish Trend Ahead For XRP? On Tuesday, XRP hit a high of $0.5571, demonstrating its bullishness and outperforming its peers. This resurgence was paired with a spike in wallet activity, a positive sign for the token’s overall market sentiment. According to the network intelligence platform Santiment, the number of wallets holding at least 1 million XRP has steadily increased over the past six weeks, rising by 3.1%. It is now just one wallet away from reaching an all-time high (ATH).

This has contributed to the cryptocurrency’s price recovery, emphasizing renewed confidence in its uptrend prospects. Regarding price action, market analyst Egrag Crypto points out that XRP has formed a double bottom pattern, considered a strong bullish signal. This pattern, combined with the transition of the consolidation zone into a supply zone and the wicking area into a demand and accumulation zone, indicates a promising outlook for the token, according to the analyst. Egrag Crypto is confident that a significant price spike or “thrust” is imminent, and the analyst has updated his target to $1.4 for XRP. Critical Resistance Levels To Watch Despite initial bullish outlooks for XRP, the token has retraced to the $0.5474 price level as of the time of writing, accompanied by a 14% decrease in market capitalization over the past 30 days. Moreover, as XRP aims to reach higher levels, potential resistance barriers may impede the token’s recovery and the bullish trend. Analyzing the XRP/USD chart below reveals the immediate resistance at $0.5644, which has prevented consolidation above current levels for the past week.

This level previously served as a support floor for the token, leading to a rebound during the uptrend seen in March, which took XRP to its yearly high of $0.745. Conversely, monitoring the support levels at $0.52910, $0.5184, and $0.5044 is crucial. If a bearish scenario develops in the coming days, these levels may prevent XRP from falling below $0.500.

Despite XRP lagging in this early stage of this bull run, crypto expert Zach Rector has shared his belief and given reasons why the crypto token is still bound to perform well. He went as far as ranking the token up there with Bitcoin to drive home his point on why the token will make a run soon enough. “XRP Will Not Miss This Bull Run” Rector mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that XRP will not miss this bull run. In the accompanying video, the crypto expert highlighted the crypto token’s fundamentals as one of the reasons he holds this belief despite XRP’s tepid price action. Rector further claimed that the token and XRP Ledger (XRPL) have some of the best fundamentals in the crypto space.

According to him, Bitcoin is the only other token that comes close to XRP in that regard. His statement echoes the sentiments of Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinhouse, who recently stated the importance of real-world utility in driving a crypto’s growth. Meanwhile, Rector alluded to XRP’s recent pump as a sign of the great things to come for the crypto token. On March 11, XRP climbed to as high as $0.74 before seeing a sharp correction. However, the community will hope Rector’s conviction is correct, considering that XRP didn’t make any significant statement in the 2021 bull run. As Rector noted, community members’ faith in the token is fast waning, and there is a belief that a repeat of the altcoin’s sluggish 2021 run will ultimately erode this faith. XRP getting close to or surpassing its all-time high (ATH) of $3 will be a great place to start if it is to make a run in this bull run. Time For Price Predictions To Come True Crypto analysts like Crypto Rover and Egrag Crypto had before now made bullish price predictions for XRP, which are meant to be actualized sometime around this period. On his part, Crypto Rover predicted that the altcoin would see a “massive breakout” this March. Meanwhile, Egrag predicted that XRP will rise to $5 between now and April.
