Ripple’s latest acquisition has firmly positioned the company within the heart of the US financial market, expanding its influence in the country and drawing attention to the XRP price. The new US-based spot prime brokerage firm, Ripple Prime, signals a pivotal moment not only for Ripple’s ecosystem but for the future of XRP. As analysts weigh in on this groundbreaking launch, attention is shifting to how this new development could redefine XRP’s role within institutional trading, liquidity, and settlement. XRP Price In Focus After Ripple Prime US Launch In an X social media post on Monday, crypto analyst Pumpius announced that Ripple Prime is officially live in the US following the recent acquisition of Hidden Road in October. Through its newly launched Ripple Prime platform, the crypto company has formally entered Wall Street’s playing field, marking a bold step into mainstream financial markets. Related Reading: Altcoin Season Loading: Bullish Factors That Point To A Massive Surge By using Ripple Prime, institutional investors in the US will be able to execute Over-the-Counter (OTC) Spot transactions across major digital assets and stablecoins, including XRP and RLUSD for the first time. Pumpius asserted that this is not a pilot program or limited rollout, but Ripple’s full-scale institutional entry into the US financial system and markets. Additionally, the analyst emphasized that Ripple Prime is built to serve as a regulated brokerage infrastructure, offering deep multi-asset liquidity and on-demand settlement powered by XRP and RLUSD. He explained that these features place XRP at the centre of institutional trading, settlement, and liquidity aggregation. Moreover, with this integration, the XRP price, currently trading at $2.26, could experience further upward pressure, as consistent demand beyond retail usage fuels greater institutional adoption. Ripple has confirmed through its official website that the new Ripple Prime will expand institutional access to not just digital assets but derivatives, swaps, fixed income instruments, and others—all under one unified system. In addition, Pumpius has stated that Ripple Prime represents the “missing piece” that connects traditional capital markets to digital finance. XRP Moves From Retail Coin To Institutional Asset Crypto commentator BD also shared his thoughts on the newly launched Ripple Prime on X, highlighting that the spot brokerage firm could transform XRP’s market perception. According to him, Ripple Prime gives US institutional clients direct access to XRP through the same infrastructure used for Foreign Exchange (FX) and commodities. Related Reading: Forget Cardano, Why Shiba Inu’s Shibarium Is The Real Ghost Chain BD emphasized that with this new development, XRP is no longer just a “retail coin” but is becoming institutional money. This means that XRP could potentially attract a new layer of demand, which could support its price by creating steadier trading volumes and stronger liquidity. Notably, Ripple announced its Ripple Prime US launch on Monday, November 3, via X. The crypto company confirmed that the new brokerage firm will help enable cross-margining of OTC spot holdings with the rest of clients’ digital asset portfolios, including OTC swaps, Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) futures, and options.

Crypto analyst Tony Severino has revealed a rare chart formation, which presents a bearish outlook for the XRP price. This comes amid a market downtrend, with concerns that XRP may have topped in this market cycle. Rare Chart Pattern That Sparked 87% XRP Price Crash Resurfaces In an X post, Severino revealed that the XRP monthly LMACD has crossed bearish for the third time ever. He noted that the past two bearish crossovers resulted in an 87% and 71% drawdown after the signal fired. The analyst added that this signal, this time around, is still unconfirmed. As such, he remarked that bulls must push the XRP price much higher this month or they risk seeing the signal being confirmed. Related Reading: Wave 3 Target Suggests That The XRP Price Is Headed For $10 Severino’s analysis comes amid a crypto market downtrend, which has pushed the XRP price lower. The altcoin is now at risk of dropping below the psychological $2 level, a level that it fell below during the $19 billion liquidation event in October. Notably, crypto analyst CasiTrades had earlier predicted that XRP could still drop to as low as $1.4 before it bottoms. The analyst is confident that such a crash for the XRP price is the perfect buy-the-dip opportunity as she expects the altcoin to still rally to a new all-time high (ATH), potentially reaching as high as $10. From a fundamentals perspective, there are also positives for XRP, which could spark a significant rebound. Canary Capital’s spot XRP ETF is on course to launch on November 13, while Grayscale and Bitwise have also amended their filings, meaning they could launch soon. Ripple also just launched a crypto prime brokerage in the U.S. to offer OTC trading for XRP, RLUSD, and other crypto assets. A Breakout For XRP On The Horizon Crypto analyst Ether has indicated that the XRP price is primed to break above the resistance level at $3.1 soon enough. He stated that the current resistance is bound to break with the altcoin’s price accumulating over the major support at $1.9. The analyst explained that each test weakens the sellers’ defense while supply gets absorbed, liquidity thins out, and the market builds pressure. Related Reading: High Liquidity At This Level Could Send The XRP Price Surging Soon Furthermore, Ether noted that steady accumulation above strong support shows that the buyers are quietly taking control and that energy is being stored for an explosive move. In line with this, he declared that the XRP price breakout is no longer a question of if but when. In the meantime, CasiTrades stated that XRP is eyeing the $2.04 and $1.72 supports as part of the final wave to the downside. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.2, down over 6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com

In a shocking flash surge that stunned traders worldwide, XRP’s price briefly skyrocketed to unprecedented heights on several major exchanges before rapidly collapsing back to its previous levels within seconds. The extraordinary spike triggered a wave of confusion across the crypto community, prompting questions about data integrity, liquidity anomalies, and possible faults in exchange systems. How The Event quickly spread And Was interpreted online The digital asset world was set ablaze recently when XRP inexplicably surged to an astonishing $9,800 across multiple exchanges for several seconds. According to KingXRP’s post on X, many experts believe that this was a test run for XRP’s upcoming role as a global reserve currency. Related Reading: XRP’s 100 Billion Supply Is By Design – Insider Reveals Why KingXRP noted that the $650 trillion global real estate market is actively preparing for mass tokenization on the XRP Ledger through the RealFi platform, powered by the real token. While REAL is currently trading at $0.03, analysts in the community are projecting that the token could rapidly surge to $176.99, especially once major Centralized Exchange (CEX) listings go live. KingXRP concluded that a massive supply shock may be imminent. Crypto analyst Skipper_xrp has emphasized that a former central banker and regulator, Marius Jurgilas, believes that XRP Ledger (XRPL) is setting the stage for massive-scale institutional investment inflows, potentially worth trillions. According to the expert, the focus is on utility, not speculation. This is a new era project of open and people-powered journalism with the BXE token, which is set to launch on a centralized exchange on November 14th. This BXE token powers a decentralized media platform built directly on the XRP Ledger, and it’s now live with an impressive fleet of 104+ authors and over 300 articles. Currently, BXE is trading at a humble $0.07, while analysts are forecasting a monumental jump to $19 and even $24. Why Utility Chains Will Outlast The Speculative Cycle An analyst known as the unknowDLT has also mentioned that Brad Garlinghouse stated a few days ago that we are officially closing the era of speculation and transitioning into the era of utility. At the core of this impending paradigm is XRP. The altcoin has been building foundational relationships, positioning itself at the center of this change, and engaging with regulators from day one. Related Reading: Financial Analyst Reveals How XRP Will Bridge Physical And Digital Value However, the imminent impact of the Clarity Act will relegate a staggering 99% of projects to values bordering on zero. It is no coincidence that this current speculative bull run feels profoundly different from previous ones.

XRP has been a top performer during this recent bull market, beating Ethereum and almost all other cryptocurrencies in ROI. But could a recent bearish signal suggest the top altcoin could drop by 70-80% from current levels? XRP Triggers Bearish Crossover of Monthly LMACD XRP monthly LMACD has crossed bearish for the third-time ever The two past bearish crossovers resulted in an 87% and 71% drawdown AFTER the signal fired The signal is still unconfirmed, so bulls must push price much higher this month or risk seeing the signal confirm pic.twitter.com/aVUA3840ug — Tony "The Bull" Severino, CMT (@TonyTheBullCMT) November 3, 2025 Aside from Bitcoin, altcoins haven’t fared well during this recent bull market cycle in crypto. XRP, however, has done extremely well, even outperforming BTC at times. But as Bitcoin itself begins to struggle with selling pressure, XRP has triggered a high timeframe bearish signal that could also point to the end of the ongoing rally. Related Reading: Solana Price Drops Below $180 Despite $199M ETF Inflows, What’s Behind the Decline? XRPUSD has triggered its third-ever bearish crossover of the LMACD indicator on the one month timeframe. High timeframe signals tend to hold more weight than lower timeframes, making the bearish crossover especially worrying. LMACD stands for logarithmic moving average convergence divergence indicator. It helps traders to visualized momentum swings from bearish to bullish and back again. The histogram turning red indicates that the two moving averages (the LMACD line and the signal line) have crossed bearish. Could The Top Crypto Drop by 70-80%? These bearish crossovers of the monthly LMACD are usually devastating in their wake. The first instance of the signal firing was in 2018 – XRP fell by 87% after the bearish crossover. The second bearish crossover was in 2021 and XRP dropped by 71% in the following drawdown. A 70% drop from current prices would put XRP back at around 70 cents per coin. Meanwhile, many crypto analysts are still expecting prices near $10 or higher. There is no guarantee either price target will be hit, but there’s no denying based on the indicator that momentum is turning bearish. Related Reading: XRP’s Next Earthquake: Billions Set To Flow In, ‘Supply Shock’ Coming—Analyst The LMACD is the logarithmic moving average convergence divergence indicator, so there’s still an opportunity for bulls to push prices much higher, forcing the indicator’s moving averages to diverge upward instead. If the two lines diverge apart, then the bull run is back on and higher price targets are once again on the table. However, this could take some time given the higher timeframe signals examined here.

A prominent crypto commentator known as Remi Relief has expanded on theories linking Ripple, SWIFT, and the global banking system to the long-term valuation of XRP. His post on the social media platform X came in response to a discussion initiated by well-known analyst Paul Barron, who questioned whether Ripple’s strategy has always been to bridge the increasingly fragmented world of bank-issued stablecoins. The idea brings attention to XRP’s utility in facilitating liquidity between institutional networks, with Remi Relief noting that this could push the XRP price to $1,000. The Ripple/SWIFT Dual-System Theories Remi Relief proposed that the global payment structure could split into two interconnected systems where both ultimately rely on XRP for settlement and support the cryptocurrency’s price at $1,000. The first theory proposes a revamped version of SWIFT that would retain much of its existing framework but incorporate blockchain-based assets such as XRP, XDC, HBAR, and Chainlink to achieve faster transaction speeds and improved efficiency. Despite these upgrades, it would still face skepticism from some financial institutions due to it being weaponized in the past. Related Reading: Ripple CTO Stacks XRP Ledger Against Other Blockchains, What’s The Catch? The second theory is the setup of a new Ripple-based network built in collaboration with Thunes, which would function as a more trusted and independent channel for cross-border payments. This system would be much quicker, much cheaper and more trusted by countries. In Remi’s view, both models would coexist for a time, giving banks and governments the freedom to choose based on transaction scale, cost, and reliability. However, he believes that the Ripple-Thunes system will later gain dominance and overtake SWIFT as more and more banks use that system. Regardless of which of the two theories prevails, Remi Relief pointed out that both have the potential to lead to a $1,000 XRP more quickly than most people think. Paul Barron’s Perspective On Institutional Stablecoins Paul Barron’s initial post that prompted Remi Relief’s response is based on the growing race among major banks to issue their own stablecoins. He pointed out that while SWIFT continues to promote neutral rails, banks like JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi, and Wells Fargo are developing US-based consortium stablecoins. Similarly, European institutions such as ING and Deutsche Bank plan to launch euro-denominated versions by 2026. Related Reading: High Liquidity At This Level Could Send The XRP Price Surging Soon Barron warned that this trend toward proprietary stablecoin systems would fragment the global financial network even further and create walled gardens where each bank’s stablecoin operates in isolation. In his view, such fragmentation will bring out the original purpose of XRP, and this might have been the plan of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse all along. The plan has always been to use XRP as a bridge asset capable of allowing interoperability between otherwise disconnected financial ecosystems. This function aligns with Ripple’s long-standing vision for the XRP Ledger as a neutral settlement layer for easy cross-border value transfer between different digital and fiat systems. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.41 and is a long way away from trading at $1,000. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
The belief that XRP could someday trade between $10,000 and $50,000 continues to circulate across social media, often justified by claims that the token will underpin the global financial system. However, not everyone in the crypto space is buying into that dream. A respected market analyst known as ChartNerd has pushed back strongly against such projections, calling them “nonsense.” This comment, as expected, led to a wave of reactions among members of the XRP community, especially those who are really locked in firmly into such ultra-bullish projections. Analyst Says $10,000-$50,000 Target Is Nonsense Talk of four- and five-figure valuations for XRP flared again after an X user with the name Mitchell Lion Heart proposed that XRP isn’t just another crypto but the money processor for a coming overhaul in the global payments system. He claimed XRP has been chosen, tied it to a global currency reset backed by gold, and insisted that $10,000 per coin, at a minimum, would arrive sooner than people think. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The ‘Unthinkable’ For XRP – Here’s What It Is He also shared an image asserting that once XRP achieves full global institutional adoption across rails such as SWIFT, DTCC, CBDCs, RWA tokenization, commodities, and value transfer on the XRPL, a sustainable price range for the cryptocurrency would need to be between $10,000 and $50,000 per XRP. ChartNerd, a market analyst known for sticking to price structure and cycle context, shot the claim down in plain language. As noted by the analyst, XRP is not heading to $10,000 or $50,000 per coin. Such a price target is nonsensical and not realistic. As seen in some of his previous comments, ChartNerd’s position is that those kinds of targets ignore the realities of XRP’s supply, liquidity, and market cap. He has consistently pointed out that XRP’s price trajectory must align with adoption metrics and market structure. An example of this is when he explained that prices between $13 and $27 represent a rational peak upside for XRP this cycle. This price target is even contingent on XRP receiving billions in possible ETF inflows and improving overall crypto market sentiment. Supporters Double Down On The Chosen Asset Perspective “Mitchell Lion Heart” dismissed the analyst’s response and insisted that many traders were overlooking XRP’s true value and purpose. According to the XRP enthusiast, traders that don’t agree with XRP’s price at $10,000 to $50,000 happening do not have a clue about what XRP truly is. Related Reading: Altcoin Season Loading: Bullish Factors That Point To A Massive Surge Some other commentators also noted that Bitcoin is currently above $110,000, and its use cases pale in comparison to XRP. Therefore, XRP has the potential to trade at values comparable to Bitcoin when its utility is finally being taken advantage of in the global payments network. Others sided with ChartNerd, saying that such extreme price targets distort public understanding and damage the credibility of legitimate analysis surrounding XRP’s fundamentals. The back-and-forth shows the growing rift between two schools of thought on XRP’s price future. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.41, having been rejected at an intraday high of $2.54.

According to reports, Evernorth — a Ripple-backed treasury firm — has agreed to merge with Armada Acquisition Corp II and plans to list under the XRPN ticker. Related Reading: Forget Billions—XRP Could Hit Trillions, Leading Expert Says The SPAC deal aims to raise $1 billion to build what Evernorth calls a large XRP treasury. Ripple and co-founder Chris Larsen contributed XRP to the project. Nine days after the SPAC announcement, reports said Evernorth had already received $1 billion worth of XRP. The merger is targeted to close in Q1 2026. On Contributions & Cash Buying Because the early inputs were paid in XRP rather than cash, immediate upward pressure on exchange order books did not happen. Market purchases require fiat or cash to be placed into public markets. SBI’s announced $300 million cash pledge is one example of money that could be used to buy XRP outright. But so far most of the headline amounts are XRP moved into a treasury, not fresh cash hitting exchanges. It is my understanding the new @evernorthxrp venture will raise $1BN through XRP direct investment, as announced and as we’ve seen on the chain. So you thinking “how will that affect open market XRP?”. Let me explain. There next plan is to IPO on stock exchange. This will raise… — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 27, 2025 Analyst Signals Incoming ‘Shock’ Vincent Van Code, a software engineer and active voice in the XRP community, told followers on X that the bigger event may still be ahead. He said the IPO itself could bring billions in new cash. If those funds are later used to buy XRP on the open market, he warned, existing supply could tighten and a “supply shock” might follow. Van Code did not offer a fixed timetable. Other commentators, including a market voice known as Nietzbux, have already framed the development as strongly bullish for XRP. Why The Timing Matters Based on reports, the sequence is what could change prices: cash raised first, then purchases on public markets. If that order is reversed — cash arrives and large buys follow quickly — liquidity could be tested. Exchanges have varying depth. A single large buyer can move prices more in thin markets than in thick ones. That is simple market mechanics. It is also why some community members are watching the SPAC schedule closely. There will come a time where XRP and XRPL is just where you keep most of your wealth. That is called Treasury. Hint hint. — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 17, 2025 Related Reading: Dogecoin Flashback: Mirror Move Hints At Record-Breaking Surge XRP’s Role And The Broader Narrative A number of developers and analysts now speak of XRP not only as a payment bridge but also as a treasury asset inside the XRPL ecosystem.

Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz has emphasized similar ideas about self-custody and on-ledger utility. Those themes are being reused as part of the argument for long-term demand.

The XRP price performance in the month of November has historically been more bullish than not, confirming higher returns than any other month in the year. Given this trend, it is possible that the XRP price could be headed for a rapid increase this new month. However, there is also the fact that the price had closed in the red back in October, and this performance could have an impact on how the cryptocurrency turns out in November. Looking At XRP Price Performances In November According to data from CryptoRank, the XRP price has seen an equal number of green and red closes over the last 12 years when it comes to the month of November. However, while the months of red closes have been significant, climbing into the double-digits, the green months have more than made up for it. Related Reading: Dogecoin RSI Returns To Pre-Launch Levels, Analyst Says Next Major Surge Is Close When it comes to the XRP price, the month of November has the most number of triple-digit closes than any other in history. Its first year of existence actually saw a 531.9% increase in the month of November, and this initial bullishness has mostly carried on into the later years. On average, the monthly returns for November are the highest for the cryptocurrency, coming in at 81.2%. This is much higher than December’s 69.6%, making it the most profitable month for XRP investors. Thus, when it comes to rapid price increases, the digital asset is likely to experience it in November. Moving into the more recent years, the market saw a 281.7% close back in November 2024, triggering its 600% price increase. This came after a 16.7% decline in the prior month, suggesting that a negative close to the month of October might not always translate into November. Factors Point To Recovery Amid the uncertainty, the XRP price could very well stage another recovery from here. One pointer is the fact that the XRP open interest is trending quite low from here, Coinglass data shows. The open interest had peaked above $10 billion earlier in the year. But since then, an over 50% crash has rocked this metric and is now trending below $5 billion at the time of writing. Related Reading: Billions In Bitcoin And Ethereum Leave Exchanges: Is Selling Pressure Easing? This is similar to what happened back in 2024, when the XRP open interest was trending low below $1 billion at the start of November. However, momentum had picked up toward the middle of the month as the price began to rally. If this trend holds, then the XRP price could see a small climb to start before hitting resistance. But if the resistance is surmounted, then the next rally could push it toward a triple-digit rise, which would mean a new all-time high for the altcoin.

XRP price started a fresh decline from $2.550. The price is now showing bearish signs and is at risk of another decline in the near term. XRP price failed to continue higher above $2.550 and corrected some gains. The price is now trading below $2.50 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.580 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it stays above $2.410. XRP Price Dips Again XRP price formed a short-term top near $2.550 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price dipped below the $2.520 and $2.50 levels. There was a move below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2.377 swing low to the $2.552 high. The price even spiked below $2.42 but remained stable above $2.40. Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.580 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.50 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.480 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.50 level, above which the price could rise and test $2.550. A clear move above the $2.550 resistance might send the price toward the $2.580 resistance and the trend line. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.720. More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $2.580 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.410 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2.377 swing low to the $2.552 high. The next major support is near the $2.380 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.380 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.320. The next major support sits near the $2.250 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.20. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.410 and $2.380. Major Resistance Levels – $2.550 and $2.580.
A discussion has surfaced within the crypto community regarding the reasoning behind XRP’s fixed supply of 100 billion tokens. For years, enthusiasts and investors have questioned why Ripple opted for such a large figure when most cryptocurrencies operate with far smaller caps. Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, recently addressed the question on the social platform X, shedding light on the considerations that guided the early design of the XRP Ledger. Technical Foundations Behind XRP’s 100 Billion Supply David Schwartz was one of the original architects behind XRP and the XRP Ledger in 2012, and as such, he possesses unmatched insight into the cryptocurrency’s tokenomics and the rationale that shaped its design. His response to the question regarding XRP’s 100 billion supply design revealed that the decision was rooted in technical precision and deliberate effort to balance the functionality of the token’s architecture. Related Reading: Evernorth Has Reached 95% Of Its XRP Treasury Target – Here Are The Numbers The first layer of reasoning behind XRP’s supply lies in its technical design. According to Schwartz, the developers of the Ledger sought a number that would provide adequate divisibility for the token. This level of divisibility allows XRP to be functional across both high-value institutional payments and smaller, everyday transactions. Equally important was the need for the total supply to fit cleanly within a 64-bit integer, a standard data type used in computing to store numerical values efficiently. This decision minimizes the risk of overflow errors or arithmetic inconsistencies in the ledger’s codebase. A supply as large as 100 billion allows the system to handle every transaction amount accurately while preserving performance and compatibility with conventional software frameworks. Usability And Design Simplicity Aside from the technical justifications, the choice of 100 billion was also made with human usability in mind. As noted by Schwartz, the third reason for XRP’s 100 billion circulating supply is that the number is easy for humans to remember. Related Reading: High Liquidity At This Level Could Send The XRP Price Surging Soon Ripple’s architects wanted a total supply that was easy to communicate, recognize, and remember. A round, memorable number like 100 billion conveys clarity to users and traders. Although XRP has a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, not every token is currently in circulation. At the time of writing, XRP has a circulating supply of 60.1 billion tokens. At the launch of the Ledger, a total supply of 100 billion XRP was pre-mined and fixed. Of this amount, approximately 55 billion XRP were placed into escrow contracts controlled by Ripple to control how many tokens enter the market over time. At the time of writing, about 35 billion XRP tokens are currently locked in escrow and waiting to be released into circulation. Each month, up to 1 billion XRP is released, and any unused portion (about 70% to 80%) is typically placed back into escrow. As part of the schedule, Ripple is going to unlock another 1 billion XRP from escrow on November 1. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.51, up by 0.9% in the past 24 hours.

Crypto analyst @BullrunnersHQ on X social media has issued a new market update, suggesting that XRP may be on the verge of a major rally as traditional markets reach record highs. His latest technical breakdown links the recent strength in the NASDAQ to potential moves within the crypto sector, warning that the “unthinkable” is about to occur for XRP soon. The analyst highlighted that XRP’s price structure and broader crypto signals are aligning for a decisive move that could determine whether the current bull market cycle continues or starts to reverse. XRP Set For Unthinkable Upside Rally According to @BullrunnersHQ, the equity market is approaching critical levels that could dictate the next major trend in the crypto market and XRP price. Despite the crypto market struggling to reach similar highs, XRP remains firmly above the $2.50 range. He described this setup as “the unthinkable” moment for XRP, where the asset could finally break free from its prolonged consolidation and rally by “multiple hundreds of percent.” Related Reading: Forget Cardano, Why Shiba Inu’s Shibarium Is The Real Ghost Chain Notably, @BullrunnersHQ asserts that XRP’s price structure remains technically healthy despite market volatility. The analyst also noted that the overall crypto market cap and sentiment indicators have improved, with the Fear & Greed Index climbing to 42 from mid-October lows. He further emphasized that Bitcoin continues to hold comfortably above its 50-week EMA, showing a pattern consistent with previous rallies that led to new peaks. The analyst added that BTC’s new local high around $116,000 and a bullish crossover between the 10 EMA and 20 EMA suggest that momentum is returning to risk assets, setting the stage for XRP to outperform potentially. Notably, this period mirrors earlier market cycles where Bitcoin’s consolidation above key levels triggered explosive altcoin rallies. XRP, which has held its support much longer than most cryptocurrencies in the market, could climb to a new all-time high once momentum shifts. To support his analysis, @BullrunnersHQ has referenced crypto market expert and Chartist Peter Brandt’s discussion about whether the NASDAQ’s recent price action represents a breakaway or an exhaustion gap. While Brandt leans cautiously bearish from an equities standpoint, @BullerunnersHQ remains confident that even if stocks slightly pull back or halt temporarily, money could still rotate into cryptocurrencies, potentially fueling XRP’s next major rally. Analyst Warns Of Exhaustion Gap And End Of Bull Market In his analysis, @BullrunnersHQ also referenced crypto trader Abdullah, who believes that the NASDAQ’s rally also shows signs of an exhaustion gap, a signal often seen near the end of a bull market uptrend. Absullah points to overbought readings in both the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic RSI on the weekly timeframe, indicating that the markets could be nearing the end of their current bull market phase. Related Reading: What The XRP RSI Making Higher Highs Means For The Price @BullrunnersHQ agreed that the market may be nearing exhaustion but reiterated that XRP’s position offers more upside potential compared to other assets. He also emphasized that Bitcoin must continue to hold between $107,000 and $109,000 on the weekly timeframe. A failure to do so could signal the end of the broader bull market.

Crypto analyst XForce has predicted that the XRP price could rally to $10 on a wave 3 impulsive move to the upside. The analyst also indicated that the bottom was in for XRP even as the crypto market remains in a downtrend. XRP Price Headed To $10 On Wave 3 Move In an X post, XForce told XRP holders to get ready for a rally to $10 or higher, which he described as a conservative wave 3 target. He noted that there are minor market inefficiencies in the local timeframes for the XRP price. However, the analyst added that the macro chart shows clear accumulation and a solid price floor after almost a year of distribution. Related Reading: Why This Analyst Is More Bullish On XRP Over Ethereum For The Short-Term Crypto analyst CasiTrades had also predicted that the XRP price could rally to as high as $10 on the wave 3 move. However, she predicted that XRP would crash to as low as $1.4 first to complete the macro wave 2 correction, which had begun around the largest liquidation event on October 10. XForce indicated that this projected crash to $1.4 for the XRP price was unlikely to happen. The analyst opined that the major low was in and alluded to the macro chart, which showed that the low had been broken, but XRP bounced hard from it. He added that XRP could stay in this current range for more distribution before the next leg up, but believes that predictions about a further downtrend are all “noise.” The XRP price has continued to range between $2.4 and $2.6 as the market recovers from the October 10 crash, which saw XRP drop to as low as $0.77 on Binance. Meanwhile, it also dropped below the psychological $2 level on other exchanges. One Final Drop For XRP Crypto analyst CasiTrades doubled down on her prediction that the XRP price would witness one final crash before a rally to the upside. She noted that the altcoin is reacting exactly as expected, having rejected the Wave 4 resistance near $2.68. She added that the price is now turning bearish and the RSI is making a new low, which is starting to confirm that Wave 5 down is underway. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Maps Out The XRP Price Roadmap From $3 To $27 CasiTrades stated that breaking below $2.42 would confirm continuation toward the lower targets at $2.03 and $1.65. These two lower levels are said to have alignment with the Wave 5 extension. The analyst again indicated that the XRP price could drop to at least $1.65, which she noted is the macro .618 retracement. CasiTrades opined that this projected crash should complete the final wave of the correction before a massive wave 3 impulse to the upside. She added that once the bottom forms, the next impulse should be “fast and obvious,” with the XRP price cutting through resistance on the way to new highs. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.48, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
The cryptocurrency XRP is once again drawing parallels to its explosive 2017 rally as analysts point to mounting institutional demand and bullish chart patterns. Trading in the $2.50–$2.70 range, XRP may be in the early stages of a new upward leg driven by ETFs, treasury-flows, and structural technical setups. Related Reading: Bitcoin Technical Setup Shows Short-Term Pullback May Fuel Long-Term Upside Institutional Flows & Treasury Vehicles Spark Bullish Outlook XRP’s resurgence is supported by a sharp uptick in institutional interest. A recently launched XRP-exposure vehicle has already pulled in over $115 million in assets, while trading volumes in related futures markets have soared into the billions. This trend echoes the supply-constraint thesis that many analysts believe will fuel the next leg higher. Beyond ETF vehicles, corporate treasuries and dedicated acquisition firms are lining up behind XRP. One example is a firm planning to raise over $1 billion for a publicly-traded entity focused exclusively on XRP accumulation via its balance sheet. With such large-scale buying set to lock up supply, scarcity dynamics could increasingly favor the bulls. This institutional tailwind now places XRP in the same narrative once reserved for Bitcoin and Ethereum, but with XRP rapidly capturing mainstream investor interest. XRP Chart-Setup Resembles 2017 Bull Cycle, Targeting Double-Digits Technically, XRP’s current structure has drawn comparisons to its 2017 run. Analysts tracking Elliott Wave counts suggest XRP may be in the early phase of Wave 3, a phase that historically triggers major price moves. Under one scenario, this could propel the token from its current $2.56 level into double-digit territory. Support near the $2.50–$2.60 band remains intact, underpinning the bullish case. If XRP can break and hold above nearby resistance (circa $2.67–$2.70), momentum could accelerate. XRP's price records some losses on the daily chart. Source: XRPUSD chart on Tradingview That said, caution flags remain. Divergence between price and momentum indicators and elevated selling pressure from large holders suggest that short-term pull-backs are possible unless volume picks up decisively. Nevertheless, with the institutional backdrop strengthening and a classic bullish base forming, XRP appears positioned to follow its 2017 ‘re-accumulation to breakout’ script, potentially setting up a move toward $10, $20, or beyond, should all variables align. The Road Ahead: Key Levels & Watch-points Market watchers will be keeping close tabs on two key levels. On the upside, a sustained breakout above $2.70 could open a path to $3 and perhaps much higher if institutional flows accelerate. On the downside, a breakdown below $2.50 might signal delay and consolidation. Meanwhile, headlines around ETF approvals, corporate treasury buys, and real-world asset activity on the XRP Ledger will likely set the tone for the next major leg.

Vincent Scott, a well-known voice in the XRP community, urged patience while restating a big claim: he called XRP and the XRP Ledger humanity’s “best chance” to change how money moves around the globe. His message, shared on X, mixed optimism about Ripple’s corporate moves with a warning that legal clarity must come first. Related Reading: Dogecoin Ignites — 60% Volume Boom Teases Potential Rally License Moves And Market Positioning According to Scott, Ripple’s licensing work, recent acquisitions and new partnerships show the company is lining up for much bigger demand for XRP.

He also suggested that if countries needed smaller foreign reserves because payments were easier and cheaper, that would shift long-held financial balances. That kind of shift could face strong pushback. Scott noted a decentralized payment and reserve setup “ruins the existing power structure,” meaning political resistance is likely. Community Voices Split The post prompted a range of reactions from within the XRP crowd. Nenad Stojkovic said Ripple stands out because of its infrastructure and regulatory steps, calling it a rare “serious financial company” in crypto — a view Scott agreed with. One user, SonOfRichard, argued Ripple’s new product Ripple Prime might lift XRP even without new laws, since it’s already compliant with some rules. Scott pushed back, replying that real progress still needs clear laws. Other voices were critical; Tommy Raz questioned the company’s top leaders. He spoke in their favor, saying their actions match the stated mission and that some online comments, especially from Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz, get misunderstood.

The open interest in XRP and Solana (SOL) futures and options has reached a record $3 billion on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). According to the CME data, this remarkable milestone was reached during Monday’s session, which saw both XRP and Solana reach their highest level of participation. Both cryptocurrencies have gained traction among institutional investors, who are now treating XRP and Solana as serious alternatives to Bitcoin and Ethereum in the derivatives market. CME’s Record $3 Billion Milestone Data from CME Group reveals that open interest in XRP and Solana futures has climbed to about $3 billion in total value. The figure captures the total capital tied up in active contracts, serving as one of the best indicators of investor activity and confidence. Related Reading: Why This Analyst Is More Bullish On XRP Over Ethereum For The Short-Term CME data shows that around 9,900 XRP contracts and 17,400 Solana futures contracts were opened during this surge of high activity, including both standard and micro versions. This achievement comes less than a year after CME introduced these products. Solana futures launched in March 2025 and quickly rose to prominence, followed by XRP futures in May. Both have now joined the ranks of the exchange’s most traded crypto derivatives, competing directly with Bitcoin and Ethereum futures. This record milestone is part of a growing interest in its digital currency instruments. Tim McCourt, Global Head of Equities, FX, and Alternative Products at CME, noted that the exchange has witnessed intense client demand for nonstop trading. In response, the CME Group had revealed plans to make cryptocurrency futures and options available for trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week, starting from early 2026, although pending approval. The increase in open interest highlights how XRP and Solana now dominate the altcoin derivatives scene on CME. Solana futures surpassed $1 billion in open interest by August 2025, just five months after their launch, while XRP futures achieved the same within three months. Recent data shows that XRP futures on the CME reached a notional volume of $26.9 billion in October and over 567,000 contracts traded within six months of trading. Institutional Interest In XRP And Solana The record in open interest follows CME’s introduction of options on XRP and Solana futures to expand its cryptocurrency derivatives portfolio beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. This expansion allows traders to access options on SOL, Micro-SOL, XRP, and Micro-XRP futures, each offering daily, monthly, and quarterly expirations to meet different trading strategies. Related Reading: Ethereum and Solana Price Ready To Send Hard? Legendary Analyst Says It’s Time To Pay Attention The expansion also points to the growing sophistication of institutional participation in Solana and XRP derivatives.

A key technical indicator on the XRP price chart is sending an important signal about the strength of its ongoing price action. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), which measures momentum, is climbing higher in tandem with price, a development that popular XRP analyst EGRAG CRYPTO says validates the current bullish phase. In one of his recent posts on X, he explained that this alignment between price and RSI shows a healthy uptrend where buying pressure will continue to dominate. RSI Alignment Shows Healthy Market Momentum EGRAG CRYPTO highlighted that when both price and RSI make higher highs, it is one of the strongest confirmations that the trend is healthy. He noted that this scenario indicates buyers are firmly in control and that the market is not overextended. According to him, when both price and RSI rise together, the uptrend is real and supported by strength. This is in contrast to bearish divergence, which occurs when price climbs but RSI falls, and is often a precursor to fading momentum and correction. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Hasn’t Begun Its 3rd Wave Yet, ATH Above $0.8 Still In The Cards The RSI data on his chart shows an ascending slope with an angle of about 9.32°, matching XRP’s gradual increase in price over the past year. This synchronized movement implies that the trend is sustainable and supported by genuine market participation instead of temporary hype. The chart from EGRAG CRYPTO shows that XRP has already broken above the midpoint of its long-term ascending parallel channel. The red trendlines framing the channel stretch back to 2014, and XRP’s breakout above the resistance line shows that bullish momentum is comparable to that of the 2017/2018 rally. The yellow moving average line, which represents the multi-month trend, is also sloping upward beneath the candles, acting as strong dynamic support. This alignment shows XRP’s improved market structure compared to earlier bear market phases between 2022 and mid-2024. XRP Price Chart. Source: @egragcrypto On X What It Means For XRP’s Next Move EGRAG CRYPTO’s projection identifies $2.07 as the major support level and $3.65 as the near-term target, which aligns with its July 2025 all-time high. Related Reading: Pundit Says XRP Price Risks Crash Below $1, Here’s Why EGRAG CRYPTO’s analysis shows that XRP’s momentum is being confirmed by both price structure and RSI alignment, and this reduces the likelihood of a strong price reversal. The lack of bearish divergence means that the ongoing rally could be setting up for a continuation rather than exhaustion. If XRP sustains its position above the midpoint breakout zone, then a return to $3.65 may follow very soon. As long as XRP holds above $2.07 and $2.50 for now, the uptrend will stay healthy, and the RSI momentum will support the broader bullish outlook. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.58, having retraced a bit from its intraday high of $2.66. Recent trading sessions have seen the cryptocurrency trying to reclaim $2.60.

Crypto analyst Steph has highlighted a high liquidity level that could spark a significant surge for the XRP price. This comes as the altcoin struggles to reclaim the psychological $3 level, which could lead to a further rally to new highs. Liquidity Level That Could Spark An XRP Price Surge In an X post, Steph revealed that the liquidity around $3.2 is expanding for the XRP price and that the market is charging toward the highest cluster. He explained that there are many buy and sell orders around this level, with market makers often looking to capture liquidity at price levels with significant liquidity clusters like this one. Related Reading: Are The XRP Tokens In Escrow At Risk Of Being Sold? Ripple CTO Shares Insights As such, the XRP price could rally to $3.2 at some point, reclaiming the $3 level in the process. However, the crypto market is currently on a downtrend, which makes this rally less unlikely for now. XRP has struggled to break out of its current range since the $19 billion liquidation event on October 10. Crypto analyst CasiTrades had recently predicted that the XRP price could still drop to as low as $1.4 before it records a bullish reversal. She claimed that this will set the stage for the next Wave 3 impulse that could send XRP toward $6.50 or $10. Meanwhile, for the projected XRP crash to be invalidated, the analyst stated that the altcoin needs to break and hold above $2.82. However, Steph revealed that the XRP price has formed a double bottom, which he predicts would lead to a reversal above $3. The analyst is also confident that XRP will reach a new all-time high (ATH), predicting a rally to $4.50 as he highlighted a compression on the chart. Why Current Price Action Is Still Bullish Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto revealed that the XRP price is making higher highs and that the RSI is also making higher highs, which he noted means strong bullish momentum and that buyers are still in control while the trend is healthy. He added that there is no bearish divergence, so momentum is confirming the price move. Related Reading: Why This Analyst Is More Bullish On XRP Over Ethereum For The Short-Term Egrag Crypto further remarked that when the XRP price and RSI rise together, the uptrend is real and supported by strength. He suggested that XRP holders should only be worried when the price makes higher highs but the RSI makes lower highs. He explained that this is when a bearish divergence could occur, indicating weakening momentum. Meanwhile, the analyst also mentioned that a close above between $2.65 and $2.70 with confirmation is key. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.5, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP price started a fresh increase above $2.550. The price is now facing hurdles above $2.650 and at risk of another decline in the near term. XRP price failed to continue higher above $2.70 and corrected some gains. The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.65 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it stays above $2.5120. XRP Price Holds Support XRP price formed a short-term top near $2.69 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price dipped below the $2.65 and $2.62 levels. There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2.327 swing low to the $2.697 high. The price even spiked below $2.55 but remained stable above $2.50. Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.65 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.620 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.650 level and the trend line, above which the price could rise and test $2.680. A clear move above the $2.680 resistance might send the price toward the $2.720 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.750 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.80. More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $2.650 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.550 level. The next major support is near the $2.5120 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2.327 swing low to the $2.697 high. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.5120 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.468. The next major support sits near the $2.420 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.40. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.550 and $2.5120. Major Resistance Levels – $2.620 and $2.650.
Evernorth has emerged as the latest powerhouse in institutional crypto accumulation, closing in on its ambitious XRP treasury goal. In just a few days, the firm has reached 95% of its accumulation target, marking a major milestone in XRP’s journey toward broader institutional adoption. The rapid growth of Evernorth’s reserves and its strategic partnerships has sparked renewed excitement across the XRP community, signaling what could be a pivotal shift in how institutions engage with the cryptocurrency. Evernorth Nears $1 Billion In XRP Holdings A new report from CryptoQuant has revealed that Evernorth’s XRP holdings is now nearing the $1 billion funding milestone, positioning it among the top institutional holders of the cryptocurrency. According to JA Maartunn, a community analyst at CryptoQuant, Evernorth currently holds 388,710,606.03 XRP, reaching 95% of its $1 billion target. Related Reading: Rumors Circulate That Ripple Is Buying $1 Billion Worth Of XRP — Here’s What We Know The company’s total XRP treasury is now valued at approximately $947,183,571, with unrealized profits of roughly $46 million generated in four days. This figure reflects an average purchase price of $2.44 per XRP, which Maartunn believes could become a defining price level for the cryptocurrency’s market trajectory. Notably, Evernorth’s XRP treasury comes amid a broader trend of institutional diversification toward digital assets. Earlier this year, several major crypto treasury institutions—most notably Strategy, with its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, and The Ether Machine, with its dedicated focus on Ethereum—set the tone for large-scale crypto accumulation. Evernorth’s expanding holdings signal a decisive shift beyond BTC and ETH, underscoring a maturing institutional demand for alternative layer-1 assets. It also suggests that XRP may become the next frontier for institutional treasuries seeking exposure to high-liquidity, regulated crypto assets. Evernorth’s XRP Growth Strategy Asheesh Birla, the CEO of Evernorth, introduced the treasury company last week, on October 20, through an X post. He described it as an institutional vehicle built to propel XRP’s global adoption. The announcement detailed the company’s plans to go public through a SPAC merger with Armada Acquisition Corp II (NASDAQ:AACI), targeting gross proceeds of more than $1 billion. Related Reading: XRP Price Teleport To $6: What Happens When The Euphoric Phase Begin Evernorth’s growth strategy includes acquiring XRP through innovative financial structures designed to maximize XRP per share and expanding internationally into key markets like Japan and South Korea. The company also plans to diversify its yield generation through risk-mitigated treasury deployment. These initiatives reflect a deliberate, structured approach toward building a long-term institutional presence around XRP. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has also praised Birla’s initiative, noting Ripple’s partnership and investment alongside prominent firms such as SBI Holdings, Pantera Capital, Kraken, GSR, and Rippleworks. Garlinghouse said that Evernorth’s participation in institutional lending, liquidity provision, and DeFi yield opportunities will be instrumental in expanding XRP’s utility. Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, who joins Evernorth as a strategic advisor, echoed this sentiment, expressing enthusiasm for building scalable opportunities for XRP across DeFi and capital markets.

A crypto commentator is once again discussing how the United States may use XRP in a key plan. According to his post, XRP could one day reach very high prices and still be small compared to the US national debt. He suggests crypto could one day help solve the country’s money problems and tells people to hold four digital assets that he believes are important for the future. He says he has known about these ideas for a long time and is reminding the public again. Crypto Pundit Says XRP At $1,000 Is “Peanuts” For US National Debt The crypto commentator, known as The Real Remi Relief on X, is sharing a NewsMax video about using XRP to help clear the US national debt. In the X post, he simply says that $1,000 per XRP is “peanuts,” suggesting he thinks XRP’s value could be much higher if this idea becomes reality. The US national debt is enormous, totalling $37.8 trillion, and even at high XRP prices, it would still be small compared to the money the country needs. Related Reading: Here’s Why The XRP Price Still Isn’t Bearish Despite The 50% Flash Crash The Real Remi Relief also says he has talked about this idea before, as he tells his followers to remember what he said back in December 2024. At that time, he said leaders were considering using crypto in a new way and shared all the information he could, though some he couldn’t discuss openly. The pundit hints that big decisions may involve XRP in a significant role tied to the US national debt. The crypto commentator believes the public should pay attention because this idea could change how the United States handles its money. He believes that XRP at $1,000 is still cheap if it helps solve the trillion-dollar national debt, and crypto holders should be watching closely to see what happens next. “Just Stack The Fantastic 4,” Pundit Advises Holders The Real Remi Relief also tells crypto users to prepare for the future. The crypto pundit strongly suggests that something important is happening behind the scenes, possibly involving XRP and other valuable assets. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Hasn’t Begun Its 3rd Wave Yet, ATH Above $0.8 Still In The Cards He calls these assets the “Fantastic 4.” These include XRP, XLM, XDC, and HBAR. The post suggests that these four assets will be critical in the future if the United States begins using digital money systems more widely. The pundit repeats that crypto holders should consider these assets now, not later. He also gives safety advice in the X post. He asks holders to store their XRP, XLM, and HBAR in a cold wallet to keep their crypto safe offline. He says people should stack and protect these assets because they may appreciate if the US turns to crypto to address its financial problems.

Technical analyst Charting Guy has shared a new perspective on the relationship between XRP and Ethereum, identifying a setup that he believes could lead to short-term XRP outperformance. His analysis, which was posted on the social media platform X, focuses on the XRP/ETH weekly chart, where he highlighted the formation of a bullish divergence that has not appeared since mid-2024. The development, he says, signals a constructive shift in momentum that will favor XRP’s price action over Ethereum for the next three months. A Rare Weekly Bullish Divergence Favors XRP Over Ethereum In his update, Charting Guy explained that the XRP/ETH weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) was previously rejected but has now reversed into a bullish divergence. The RSI has turned upward from a low region, while the price closed at a lower low last week, which is a tell-tale sign of waning selling pressure and XRP building strength against Ethereum. Related Reading: Here’s What The XRP Open Interest Reset Means For The Price This green-marked divergence on the analyst’s XRP/ETH chart, which is shown below, mimics a setup that preceded another major swing in XRP’s favor. The yellow RSI moving average has also started to flatten, and this is another signal that momentum could be stabilizing before a breakout. The last time this same configuration occurred was in June 2024, just before XRP began a multi-month surge against Ethereum. Back then, the XRP/ETH pair rose from 0.00015 to as high as 0.0003 in August 2024, before retracing and then finally picking up again in November 2024. The pattern outlined by the analyst shows XRP/ETH currently consolidating near the 0.00063 ratio level. This time, the setup looks equally compelling. The RSI’s upward curve points to market participation on the XRP side, while Ethereum’s relative momentum continues to slow. If the pattern repeats, it could mark the start of another short-term cycle of the token strength against ETH. Short-Term Projection Favors XRP As shown by the projection drawn in blue on the chart above, Charting Guy visualized a scenario where XRP climbs sharply relative to Ethereum. The projection uses the performance of the pair between July 2024 and March 2025 to predict the next move. From here, the projection places the XRP/ETH pair trading above 0.00015 by March 2026. Related Reading: Ethereum and Solana Price Ready To Send Hard? Legendary Analyst Says It’s Time To Pay Attention He concluded his analysis by stating, “I am VERY bullish on $XRP > $ETH the next 3 months.” His three-month forecast implies that XRP could regain a leadership position among major altcoins during the next quarter. If the token manages to outperform Ethereum as predicted, it will close the gap in their market cap. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.64 with a $158 billion market cap. Ethereum, on the other hand, is trading at $4,025 with a $486 billion market cap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP price started a fresh increase above $2.550. The price is now facing hurdles above $2.650 and at risk of another decline in the near term. XRP price gained pace for a move above $2.60 and $2.620 before the bears appeared. The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2.6350 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it stays above $2.50. XRP Price Retreats Lower XRP price started a fresh increase after it settled above $2.50, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price surpassed the $2.550 and $2.60 resistance levels.

XRP hovers at a key resistance, signaling a crucial decision point. With momentum building, traders now wonder, will one final dip come before the next major breakout? XRP Faces A Crucial Decision Zone Amid Ongoing Range CasiTrades, in a recent market update, highlighted that XRP continues to range within a critical zone, keeping its setup for a potential final wave down valid. The analyst noted that the price remains at a key decision point, with ongoing tests of the Wave 4 highs acting as a firm ceiling against further upside movement. Related Reading: Boom Incoming? XRP’s Market Setup Looks ‘Explosive,’ Analyst Says According to CasiTrades, the pivotal level to watch is $2.82 on Binance. A confirmed breakout and sustained hold above this resistance would invalidate the bearish setup and signal renewed bullish momentum. However, XRP has so far failed to push through, maintaining a range-bound structure between support and resistance, a sign that the market has yet to commit to a clear directional trend. The analyst emphasized that a V-shaped recovery typically breaks through resistance with strong conviction, but such a move has not been seen here. Instead, XRP’s hesitancy indicates that selling pressure may still be present, preventing a clean continuation to the upside. Exchange Variations Add Complexity To Market Analysis CasiTrades went on to explain that most major exchanges are now aligning around their key Fibonacci retracement levels, particularly the 0.618 zone. On Binance, this range sits between $1.35 and $1.46, which the analyst identified as the area where the next corrective wave could complete. According to the expert, this move would finalize the macro Wave 2 correction, paving the way for a powerful Wave 3 impulse that might propel XRP toward $6.50 or even $10. Related Reading: XRP Sparks Bullish Frenzy As Top Software Dev Says It Beats ETF Hype The analyst emphasized that these lower price levels shouldn’t be viewed as a cause for concern but rather as valuable accumulation opportunities for long-term investors. Historically, zones like these have marked points of strong institutional buying and major trend reversals, presenting some of the best risk-to-reward setups before a large bullish expansion. CasiTrades also noted that exchange discrepancies add a layer of complexity to the analysis. For instance, during a recent liquidation event, Binance briefly fell to $0.77, while Coinbase never reached its .618 retracement. This variation means traders should always chart on the specific exchange they plan to execute trades on, as price reactions can differ slightly between platforms. In conclusion, the analyst noted that until XRP breaks and holds above $2.82, the market structure still supports the idea of one final downward wave before a major upward cycle begins.

The XRP price recently saw a sharp drop that was very scary for many traders, and some in the crypto market think the chart looks weak now. However, an analyst on X, Cryptoinsightuk, disagrees. The analyst explains that XRP is not bearish right now, even after the 50% flash crash, and the price can still move higher when liquidity returns. Low Downside Liquidity And Weekly Chart Still Looks Fine For The XRP Price Cryptoinsightuk says that XRP has “no downside liquidity.” The analyst explains that sellers are not strong, so there is very little liquidity sitting below the current price level. It does not mean the XRP price will stay still, although it may move up and down for now. At some point, exchanges and market makers may push the price higher into deeper liquidity, where they can make money. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Prediction: Analyst Forecasts What Will Happen In The Last Quarter Of The Year The analyst says that the flash crash does not damage the weekly chart. The weekly picture still shows a normal trend even after the sharp fall. He notes that online discussions are focusing on the monthly chart and using it to claim that XRP is weak, but the monthly chart alone is only one timeframe and not enough to call the price truly bearish. The slight drop shows weakness only on lower timeframes, not in the broader market structure, and Cryptoinsightuk believes the bigger structure is still pointing up, which is a key reason he does not see a bearish trend forming even after the 50% flash crash. The analyst’s comment about market makers also gives hope to traders who worry that the XRP price will keep falling. When market makers see better opportunities at higher price levels, the price often moves up to where they want to make profits. It gives XRP a path to recovery later, rather than staying low. He keeps pointing to the weekly chart because it shows that XRP still holds its larger bullish setup even after the fear caused by the flash crash. Higher Timeframes Look Strong, And RSI Fractal Points To A Move Up Cryptoinsightuk further adds that higher timeframes are always more reliable for reading price trends and recommends looking at the XRP price chart over the past three months. In his view, the three-month chart looks good and supports a strong long-term trend. He also looks at the daily RSI, and it recently hit an oversold area. When this happened the last time, the XRP price later saw a strong move up. The analyst shared a fractal a few weeks ago that shows what a new “measured move” could look like if this same pattern repeats.

The oversold RSI signal suggests that buyers could return and push the price higher in the future. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
A recent debate on the social media platform X has drawn attention to XRP’s long-term price outlook after an XRP enthusiast, Crypto Bitlord, proposed a rather wild scenario where the cryptocurrency teleports to $500 instantly. His post, which imagined XRP being used by the US government to pay off its $35 trillion debt, caused some reactions across the XRP community. In response, well-known crypto analyst ChartNerd stepped in to temper expectations, explaining that while XRP’s future is bright, such a leap to $500 is far from realistic this market cycle. ChartNerd’s Take On Realistic XRP Targets ChartNerd’s comments immediately stood out for their grounded tone, especially amongst reactions filled with predictions of explosive, instant gains. Responding directly to Bitlord’s vision of XRP rocketing to $500, ChartNerd clarified that XRP’s price will not trade at that price target this cycle. “$XRP will not teleport to $500,” he said. Related Reading: XRP Strengthens Under The Weight Of Heavy FUD And Loss-Selling, What This Means For Price Instead of a three-digit price, the analyst noted that the XRP price can only realistically reach the double-digit threshold in this cycle. “Realistically, it could definitely teleport to $13-$27 this cycle,” he continued. This double-digit price target, although very bullish compared to XRP’s current price action, pales in comparison to other bullish projections from other crypto analysts, with many anticipating triple-digit price targets and others even predicting a run to $1,000 and beyond. As conversations around potential XRP ETFs continue to gain momentum, one commenter asked ChartNerd whether his projections accounted for the billions in possible ETF inflows and the tokens expected to be locked in treasury funds and liquidity pools over the next few months. His response showed that his analysis was not detached from these developments. ChartNerd explained that even if XRP captured half of Bitcoin’s ETF trading volume from the past two years, the result would still translate to a market capitalization of roughly $1.2 trillion, bringing the price closer to his $27 upper target rather than $500. Most ultra-bullish XRP price predictions are contingent on the cryptocurrency gaining adoption among banks and players in traditional finance. However, adoption models grow over years, not weeks, with ChartNerd adding that “these developments take time, and triple digits are not possible until many a year down the line.” Staying Grounded Amid Bold Predictions Another user remarked that Bitcoin once faced similar disbelief before breaching $100,000, meaning that XRP could surprise skeptics in the same way. ChartNerd, however, maintained his cautious stance with the response, “Highly unlikely imo, we shall see. I’ll stick to double digits.” Related Reading: Market Expert Reveals Why The XRP Price Is Still Crashing Amid Good News Surrounding Ripple Such comparisons overlook the fundamental differences between Bitcoin’s and XRP’s market dynamics, especially when it comes to their circulating supplies. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.66, a 1% increase in the past 24 hours and a 9.2% rise over the last seven days. To reach the hypothetical $500 level, XRP would need to surge by roughly 18,690% from its current price. By contrast, hitting $13 or $27 would represent gains of approximately 388% and 915%, respectively. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst CasiTrades has predicted that the XRP price could still crash to $1.4 in the final wave of this downtrend. This comes despite bullish catalysts such as the Fed rate cut, which could lift the altcoin to new highs. Analyst Predicts XRP Price Crash To $1.4 In an X post, CasiTrades stated that exchanges are aligning toward their .618 retracements, with Binance showing a crash to between $1.35 and $1.46 for the XRP price. She noted that this next wave down would complete the macro Wave 2 correction, setting the stage for the next Wave 3 impulse that could send XRP toward $6.50 or $10. Related Reading: Technical Analysis Suggests XRP’s Playbook From 2017 Could Repeat In 2025 This came as the analyst remarked that the XRP price was at a major decision point, with the price continuing to test the Wave 4 highs. She noted that this resistance is making another wave down a possibility. To invalidate the move down, CasiTrades stated that XRP needs to break and hold above $2.82 on Binance. However, so far, the XRP price hasn’t done so, with CasiTrades noting that the price is still ranging between support and resistance. She explained that this leans toward this being a Wave 4, with the altcoin one final move lower before the next macro impulse. The analyst ruled out a V-shaped recovery, noting that price typically breaks through resistance immediately and decisively, which is not happening with the current price action. She further remarked that the hesitation suggests that selling pressure isn’t fully exhausted for the XRP price. However, CasiTrades assured that the deeper support levels aren’t a reason to panic, as they are high conviction accumulation zones. Meanwhile, the analyst highlighted a discrepancy in the price action on different exchanges. She noted that the XRP price on Binance wicked to $0.77 during the $19 billion liquidation event, while on Coinbase, XRP never reached its .618 retracement level. CasiTrades then reiterated that until $2.82 breaks, the price action favors one final wave down before the next major move up. XRP’s Bull Run Isn’t Over Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has assured that the bull run isn’t over for the XRP price, despite predictions that the top may be in. He stated that as long as XRP holds above $2.20 and $1.97 as monthly closes, then there is no structural break. He also believes that the altcoin and other risk assets are about to “roar.” Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Maps Out The XRP Price Roadmap From $3 To $27 Egrag Crypto noted that quantitative tightening is still active and that Fed rate cuts are just beginning. In line with this, he declared that the last leg up is still waiting to play out. He claimed that cycles don’t end when 50% of traders are cautious, but do when everyone is “drunk on euphoria.” At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.6, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP market is bracing for a new phase of intense volatility, with anticipation growing around key legal, regulatory, and institutional developments. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has recently addressed the XRP community, offering guidance and setting expectations for what is to come. XRP Unusual Stability May Be Setting Up A Major Move The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with increased anticipation for XRP, following a series of strategic announcements from Ripple and compelling technical analysis. Popular crypto news source CryptosRus has highlighted on X that the altcoin is poised for a sharp move, as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has mentioned that investors should be prepared for a substantial shift. Related Reading: Ripple Labs’ $1 Billion XRP Treasury Strategy: Will It Lead To A New Rally Toward $10? At the core of this move, Ripple has just launched Ripple Prime, a new global prime brokerage service tailored for institutional clients. According to the company, Ripple Prime will be powered by Ripple’s foundational digital asset infrastructure, encompassing its robust solutions for payments, crypto custody, and stablecoin capabilities, alongside XRP. However, CEO Brad Garlinghouse called this move another step toward building the internet of value, emphasizing that the XRP sits at the center of everything Ripple does. CryptosRus noted that the altcoin has recently bounced off a key support level at $2.33. This technical indicator is signaling a potential 30% rally, with an initial target of $3.45 or even higher, as market momentum continues to build. An analyst known as TylerHillYT, who is also the president of FluenceGlobal and Co-Founder of the CSS, has also stated that the XRP price comeback is showing structural strength. In just a day, the token burn rate spiked 29%, mirroring its 29% price surge, signaling a synchronized increase in both on-chain demand and heightened investor activity. This Ripple’s deeper expansion into traditional finance and the recent launch of Ripple Prime have caused the network usage to ramp up again. TylerHillYT emphasized that at the accelerated pace, XRP is not just riding a wave of market momentum, but it’s rebuilding its long-term narrative. However, the burn acceleration with renewed institutional traction could be the early signs of a sustained upward trajectory, pushing the token structurally toward the $3.00 mark. Connecting Market Surge To Foundational Growth While the digital asset market is vibrating with renewed excitement surrounding XRP, a prominent crypto influencer and creator on Binance and CMC, Jack, has revealed that the bulls have firmly smashed through the critical $2.55 resistance level with conviction. This decisive breakout has now set the immediate sights of traders on $2.80 and beyond. Related Reading: XRP Price Under Pressure — Bulls Attempt To Defend Key Support Zone Jack mentioned that whale activity is back, and the Open Interest (OI) is climbing steadily, while sentiment is flipping fast.
