XRP is staging a remarkable rebound, rising from early October lows of $1.77 to over $2.60, even as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prolongs its review of pending XRP ETF filings.

Over the weekend, XRP surged to $2.68, breaking critical resistance at $2.63 on a 147% volume spike, one of the largest in recent months. This explosive move coincided with renewed optimism following Ripple’s strategic acquisitions, including the integration of Ripple Prime and GTreasury, which CEO Brad Garlinghouse said place XRP “at the center of everything Ripple does.” XRP's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview Technical Indicators Strengthen the Bullish Outlook From a technical perspective, XRP’s chart paints a clear bullish picture. The token has moved firmly above both its 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), key indicators of trend continuation. It has also formed an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, historically signaling potential for higher highs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains near 70, showing strong demand despite slightly overbought conditions. Analysts expect a confirmed breakout above $2.70 to set the stage for XRP to reach the $2.90–$3.00 range in the near term. Momentum indicators such as the True Strength Index (TSI) and rising open interest in CME XRP futures, which recently crossed $27 billion in notional volume, reinforce this bullish outlook. However, traders are watching the $2.54–$2.58 support zone closely. A drop below this range could weaken momentum and invite short-term corrections. Institutional Flows Signal Confidence in XRP’s Future While ETF delays have briefly dented sentiment, institutional accumulation around XRP remains strong. The token’s rapid integration into U.S.-listed ETFs, expanding derivatives markets, and corporate adoption, including Evernorth’s treasury allocation, underscore growing confidence in Ripple’s long-term fundamentals. Institutional demand continues to accelerate through vehicles like the REX-Osprey XRP ETF, which recently surpassed $100 million in assets under management, placing XRP as a mainstream financial instrument rather than a speculative token. With global crypto market capitalization hovering near $3.8 trillion and the Federal Reserve’s upcoming rate decision expected to ease liquidity constraints, analysts believe XRP could outperform peers in the next leg of the bull cycle.

Crypto analyst Bobby A is warning that the XRP price may face trouble soon. He says the large monthly chart is showing weak signs, and this could mean the market is turning bearish again. The analyst thinks the price might need to drop further before it can move higher.  Bearish Signals Showing On The XRP Price Monthly Chart Bobby A says the big XRP chart does not look healthy right now. He explains that many important monthly indicators are crossing bearishly. He says XRP is trading below the 1.618 level, and the price action there looks like a rejection rather than a breakout. He thinks this rejection is happening at a terrible time for XRP, noting that the monthly candle is closing near the BMSB line, another dangerous sign for the price. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Prediction: Analyst Forecasts What Will Happen In The Last Quarter Of The Year Bobby A reminds traders that when the Bressert indicator crosses bearish on the monthly chart, history shows it has never been good for XRP. He believes that history could repeat itself, and these bearish signals are evident on the chart right now, suggesting the mid-term trend may not be strong. His analysis says that in six days, XRP will be facing the monthly candle close again, and facing it while price action is weak is usually not a good sign. He is worried because the chart’s overall structure shows more weakness than strength at this time. He explains that when a chart shows this kind of technical damage, the smart move is to stay alert. He says traders must focus on risk control during times when the big charts start to flash warning signs. He shares this because he has trusted his chart study before when XRP was under $0.30, and now he needs to trust what he sees again with XRP above $2. He says the market can change very fast, and traders must be ready for those changes. XRP May Drop To Lower Support Before Moving Up Again Right now, XRP is already making a small move downward. Bobby A says this retracement is happening in real time. He warns that XRP could roll over again and retest lower price support levels. If this happens, the token price could fall under $1 to find more substantial support before it tries to recover. He believes there is a real and present risk that the price will crash below $1 if sellers keep pushing it down. Related Reading: Dogecoin RSI Breakout Shows Main Target, Why $1 Is Still Possible He advises traders to protect their money and manage their trades carefully. He says capital safety must come first in times like these. Even though he still believes in XRP’s long-term future and remains a strong supporter of the project, he feels the odds right now point to lower prices in the mid-term. He says this is because the latest market signs are not strong enough to support a big bullish move yet. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst CryptosRus has drawn attention to the open interest reset for XRP. The analyst also explained why this development could spark a major price surge for the altcoin.  XRP’s Open Interest Drops To New Lows In an X post, CryptosRus revealed that XRP’s open interest on Binance has dropped back to the same lows that were seen in May 2025. The analyst noted that back then, the liquidation flush sparked a massive rally for the altcoin, which pushed it to $3.50. He added that this time around, the open interest is at the floor again, but the price is holding around $2.6.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Maps Out The XRP Price Roadmap From $3 To $27 CryptosRus stated that this means that leverage is gone while the strong hands are still holding XRP. The analyst predicted that if new liquidity enters, this setup could signal the next leg up for the altcoin. He added that rallies usually start when leverage is low, spot demand is strong, and shorts are trapped.  Notably, XRP has witnessed new demand with the launch of the largest XRP treasury company, Evernorth. The company has already accumulated up to $1 billion in XRP with Ripple’s backing and has revealed plans to continue accumulating more, using gains from its DeFi activities. Notably, the company stated that it will purchase XRP on the open market, which is expected to impact the altcoin’s price.  Meanwhile, the SEC is expected to approve the spot XRP ETFs once the U.S. government shutdown ends. This could drive new liquidity into the altcoin, boosting its price. Moreover, experts such as Canary Capital’s CEO Steven McClurg have predicted that the XRP ETFs could see more inflows in their first month than the Ethereum ETFs did.  XRP Is Gearing Up For A ‘Face Melting’ Rally Crypto analyst Ether stated that XRP is quietly gearing up to melt faces and that most aren’t even aware or ready for what is coming. This came as the analyst alluded to an earlier analysis, in which he revealed that a similar scenario from a previous cycle was playing out for the altcoin.  Related Reading: Why This Crypto Analyst Now Believes XRP Price At $21 Is No Longer A Dream Ethere stated that XRP’s cyclical structure is showing a striking similarity again. After the altcoin’s rally in 2017, its price was rejected from the 2013 all-time high (ATH) level and then retested the 2014 ATH level, which had previously acted as resistance. XRP then began its parabolic run after it accumulated strength in that range.  Now, this same XRP price action is playing out again, according to Ether. He noted that after the strong surge in 2024, the altcoin’s price was rejected at the 2017 ATH level and retested the 2021 ATH level, which had previously acted as resistance. The analyst added that the power accumulation phase is now underway in this region and that once it is complete, the next parabolic run will be inevitable.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.63, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The price is now trading below $2.50 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $2.580 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.660 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.680 level, above which the price could rise and test $2.750. A clear move above the $2.750 resistance might send the price toward the $2.80 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.920 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.950. Are Dips Supported? If XRP fails to clear the $2.680 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.60 level. The next major support is near the $2.580 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.580 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.50 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $2.327 swing low to the $2.668 high. The next major support sits near the $2.450 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.40.

Crypto influencer Coach JV has reiterated his long-term faith in XRP and other digital assets, saying the current moment marks “the greatest shift in humanity.” According to his post on X, he updated a ranked list of his top holdings and urged patience, arguing that the next five years will reshape how money moves and how families hold wealth. Related Reading: XRP Sparks Bullish Frenzy As Top Software Dev Says It Beats ETF Hype Analyst’s Updated Holdings His current ranking places XRP first, followed by Bitcoin, Solana (SOL), Stellar (XLM), WLFI, Hedera (HBAR), and VeChain (VET). He said he favors assets with real-world use and lasting value over quick trades. Reports have disclosed that WLFI — the token tied to the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial — has not rallied since its September launch and is down about 71% from its peak on September 1. Still, Coach JV wrote that WLFI is “making moves up [his] ranking,” signaling increased confidence in the token despite its recent drop. My top holding have adjusted a bit. In order (just my journey do you) XRP BITCOIN SOL XLM WLFI (making moves up my ranking) HBAR VET This is the greatest shift in humanity. Looking forward to coming back to this in 2030. — Coach, JV (@Coachjv_) October 24, 2025 XRP As A Core Holding Coach JV argued that XRP’s fixed supply, speed, and scalability make it useful for cross-border payments. He has described XRP and Bitcoin as stores of family wealth. He told followers that fiat currency loses buying power over time and that crypto can help preserve purchasing power across generations. Coach JV also predicted that by 2030 he will look back and see early conviction rewarded. He went further, saying he expects XRP to surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum to become the top cryptocurrency by 2030 and that Ripple could act like a future bank. Community Response And Timing Meanwhile, reports have highlighted renewed optimism in the XRP community after pro-XRP engineer Vincent Van Code posted that “we might see some big announcements in favor of XRP.” Van Code suggested such news could come as soon as the US government reopens. Concerns over regulatory delays have been raised elsewhere; several observers say a temporary US shutdown slowed progress on approvals for an XRP exchange-traded fund and other regulatory milestones. Those delays are often cited as reasons why some market-moving updates remain pending. Boy wait til the government reopens again soon. We might see some big announcements in favor of XRP. — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 24, 2025 Market figures underline that conviction does not equal short-term gains. WLFI’s fall of about 71% from its peak on September 1 is a sharp example. Price moves like that were recorded after the token’s September debut. Investors quoted in social posts have pushed back, reminding followers that publicity and social confidence do not guarantee future returns.

For now, Coach JV’s stance is public and firm, and it has sparked renewed debate about what role XRP and related projects will play in mainstream finance over the coming years.

According to software engineer Vincent Van Code, fresh practical reasons are emerging for renewed confidence in XRP among some developers and investors. He argues that the biggest barrier to big firms holding XRP directly isn’t price or interest — it’s operations and compliance. Related Reading: 16,000 Ancient Bitcoins Just Moved—And It’s Costing Whales Billions Custody Costs Stall Direct Holdings Van Code told followers that big companies can’t just “set up a Ledger or Xumm wallet and drop $100 million in there.” He said institutions need formal custody arrangements, regular audits and compliance systems before they will touch crypto on a large scale. Reports place the upkeep of those services at about $300,000 a year for a single institutional setup, a figure that helps explain why many firms prefer not to hold tokens on their own balance sheets. What I am realizing with the bew @evernorthxrp announcement and stagnant XRP price is that it might be harder than we think for institutions to buy and hold XRP. Large companies aren’t going to simply setup a Ledger or Xaman wallet and drop $100M in there. They want custody,… — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 21, 2025 ETFs And Equity Routes Gain Traction Based on reports, Van Code believes that exchange-traded funds and public companies that hold XRP will be the easiest route for institutions to gain exposure. There are currently seven applications for XRP ETFs pending with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, though filings have been paused amid the US government shutdown. For many large investors, buying shares in a regulated fund or a company with an XRP treasury avoids the need to run custody systems in-house. Evernorth has become a focal point in that discussion. The venture, backed in part by Ripple, plans to build what it calls an institutional XRP treasury. Evernorth aims to purchase $1 billion worth of XRP and will start with over 560 million XRP after it secures $1.1 billion in committed capital from participants that include Ripple and SBI Holdings. Reports say the firm is pursuing a merger that is expected to close in Q1 2026, and the XRP purchases are planned to take place within 10 days of funding. ????

XRP’s price has been showing signs of consolidation in recent days and oscillating between $2.30 and $2.50. The entire crypto market has been relatively steady, and XRP has managed to maintain its footing above $2.20.  Despite the slow momentum, a technical analysis shared by the crypto analyst known as ChartNerd on X suggests that XRP could be preparing for a massive breakout that could take it from current levels toward a long-term target above $27. The analysis is supported by a chart showing multiple confluences aligning in favor of such a large-scale move. XRP Technical Analysis Points To Rally According to ChartNerd’s chart, XRP has now completed a symmetrical triangle breakout pattern that has been forming for several years. This breakout is occurring above a multi-year ascending support line that dates back to 2017. The chart also shows an important resistance block that previously capped XRP’s price during earlier bull runs in 2017 and 2021.  Related Reading: XRP Price Teleport To $6: What Happens When The Euphoric Phase Begin XRP broke above this resistance block months ago, but recently retested it during last week’s flash crash. Its rebound from this resistance block reinforces the idea that XRP is about to bounce massively. The breakout from this long-term consolidation zone, combined with the multi-year ascending trendline, provides the technical foundation for a potential move toward much higher price targets. Another important confirmation that occurred during the flash crash was the successful retest of the 3-month 10 EMA. This retest serves as a validation point for the recent breakout, showing that XRP is maintaining its structure on higher timeframes. Furthermore, the analysis shows that XRP has reclaimed the Gaussian Channel upper regression line, which represents long-term trend momentum.  This alignment of the EMA retest with the Gaussian Channel suggests strong bullish momentum is beginning to build. ChartNerd refers to this convergence of multiple indicators as a “confluence zone.” Fibonacci Extension Targets From $8 To $27 The analysis concludes with a clearly defined Fibonacci extension roadmap that outlines XRP’s next price objectives. ChartNerd’s Fibonacci levels place the first major target at $8.47, corresponding to the 1.272 extension, followed by $13.78 at the 1.414 level, and finally the 1.618 extension at $27.70.  Related Reading: Analyst Warns XRP Investors That A Supply Squeeze Is Coming And What It Means For Price This sequence implies a full technical replication of XRP’s bull run in 2017, scaled to its current breakout structure. Back then, XRP hit all three Fibonacci extensions from the previous low after breaking above a similar resistance block.  If these projections materialize, XRP could experience its most significant rally in years. The move toward $27 could unfold in one of two ways: either through a strong, near-vertical surge similar to the explosive rally of 2017 or through a series of measured advances highlighted by corrections at each resistance level. Nonetheless, both scenarios have the same bullish structure. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.44, up by 1.4% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Remi has made his bull run predictions for coins like XRP, Solana, and Cardano. Despite the price targets being ambitious, the analyst described them as “semi-conservative,” suggesting the coins could rally much higher.  XRP And Solana To $1,000, And Cardano To $100 In an X post, Remi predicted that XRP and Solana will rally above $1,000 while Cardano will reach $100. He stated that these price targets are based on information, research, and historical performance. The analyst also made predictions for HBAR, XLM, ONDO, LINK, XDC, and QNT, all of which he expects to record astronomical gains.  Related Reading: Technical Analysis Suggests XRP’s Playbook From 2017 Could Repeat In 2025 Interestingly, the analyst stated that these were semi-conservative targets for XRP, Solana, and Cardano and that he personally thinks they could rally higher. He added that these targets might not even come close to his expectations and that they are simply based on utility and a super cycle without any black swan events.  Remi also advised investors not to make the same mistake he made during his first bull run by leaving profits on the table in hopes that coins like XRP, Solana, and Cardano will go higher. He told them not to be greedy and take profits at different intervals. The analyst added that they should not wait for the high numbers because they might not happen for various reasons.  Furthermore, the crypto analyst advised investors on custody, urging them to secure their XRP, Solana, and Cardano in a cold wallet. He explained that crypto exchanges are “in it to win it” and are not here for the customers. Meanwhile, the analyst didn’t mention what utility could spark these runs for these coins.  However, it is worth noting that XRP, Solana, and Cardano are all set to have their spot ETFs, although it remains to be seen how high these coins could reach on the back of these institutional inflows.  Why the Price Targets Are Not “Crazy” Remi admitted that the price targets for XRP, Solana, and Cardano may seem crazy, but assured that they are not. He explained that the market cycle is now 5 years instead of 4, indicating that “huge numbers are coming.” He noted that these big numbers will coincide with the voting season.  Related Reading: Solana Price At Risk Of 50% Crash To $104 After Forming This Larger Bearish Trend This is why he thinks there will be a super cycle that runs into the fourth quarter of next year. He told XRP, Solana, and Cardano holders to be mindful of the winter Olympics next year, in February, warning that any major attack during the event would disrupt the cycle. As such, he remarked that it may be wise to take a little profit early on before the event. Notably, experts like Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan have also stated that the four-year cycle is likely over, predicting that the bull run could extend.

XRP price started a recovery wave from $2.320. The price is now struggling to clear $2.420 and might decline if it trades below the $2.350 support. XRP price is attempting to recover above the $2.350 zone. The price is now trading above $2.350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a contracting triangle forming with resistance at $2.420 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it clears the $2.420 resistance. XRP Price Attempts Recovery XRP price formed a base above $2.30 and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price surpassed the $2.3750 and $2.380 resistance levels. The bulls were able to push the price above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.5320 swing high to the $2.3275 low. However, the bears are currently active near the $2.420 zone and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The price is now trading below $2.420 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a contracting triangle forming with resistance at $2.420 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.420 level. It is also close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.5320 swing high to the $2.3275 low. The first major resistance is near the $2.480 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. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.720. Another Drop? If XRP fails to clear the $2.420 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.380 level. The next major support is near the $2.350 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.350 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 bullish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.350 and $2.320. Major Resistance Levels – $2.420 and $2.50.

The recent market recovery has seen the XRP price look to break the $2.5 level again, which could lead to a continuation of the uptrend. While all eyes remain on the $3 level to be reclaimed right now, bullish expectations abound for the altcoin. The XRP price, despite suffering recent crashes, is expected to reach new all-time highs, beating the $3.8 peak that has been persistent for over seven years now. What Happens If The XRP Price Regains Momentum Pseudonymous crypto analyst, “Guy on the Earth”, has shared an analysis of the XRP price that shows the possibilities that lie ahead for the cryptocurrency. So far, the altcoin has continued to consolidate after its rally back in 2024. With almost a year stuck in a consolidation trend and the market picking up, it is possible that the XRP price is finally ready for a breakout. Related Reading: Pundit Outlines The Possibility Of The XRP Price Getting To $1,000 One thing that stands out from here is the fact that the XRP price has continued to maintain higher lows through the consolidation trend. This suggests that while the direction may have been down, the overall sentiment still pointed to possible recovery and upside. Given this, it is expected that the breakout from the consolidation phase would be massive. This could be akin to what was experienced back in November 2024, when the XRP price rallied by over 600% before reaching a top. The analyst expects XRP to enter into what is essentially a “euphoric phase,” and the price is expected to reach $6. This would translate to an over 100% increase in price, and brand new all-time highs for the first time since 2018. The Bears Are Still Lurking While most indicators are still pointing toward bullishness, there is still the possibility that bears reclaim control once again. The main problem would arise if the XRP price were to fall below $2, setting the tone for the next wave of declines. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price 60% Crash To $50,000 Coming? Why All Roads Point To A Decline The crypto analyst highlights that a decline below $2 would mean that the bull rally is over and the bear market is looming into view. In the worst-case scenario, the XRP price would fall into a longer consolidation trend, pushing it as low as $1. Presently, it is important for the XRP price to clear $3 with momentum, putting the bulls in charge. Also, if the Bitcoin price continues to rise, then it could take the whole market into another bull run. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP price started a recovery wave from $2.20. The price is struggling to clear $2.50 and might decline if it trades below the $2.320 support. XRP price is moving lower from the $2.550 zone. The price is now trading below $2.420 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support at $2.320 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it clears the $2.450 resistance. XRP Price Faces Resistance XRP price formed a base above $2.250 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price surpassed the $2.40 and $2.420 resistance levels. The bulls were able to push the price above $2.50. However, the bears remained active near the $2.550 level. A high was formed at $2.5520 and the price recently corrected some gains. It dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.190 swing low to the $2.5520 high. Besides, there was a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support at $2.320 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.420 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.420 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.

XRP is holding firm above the $2.38 support level after a recent pullback, suggesting that bulls may still have control. As buying pressure builds, traders are watching closely for a potential breakout that could reignite bullish momentum in the coming sessions. Early Strength Fades After Hitting $2.52 Umair Crypto, in his latest market update, noted that XRP displayed initial strength after rebounding cleanly from the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). The price managed to climb to around $2.52 with a solid close on the 4-hour chart, signaling renewed buyer interest and a potential shift in short-term momentum. Related Reading: XRP Price Coils Below Resistance — Bulls Prepare For Possible Upside Explosion However, that early optimism was short-lived as XRP’s upward push lost steam before even reaching the 100-day SMA. The failure to extend higher has started to reveal some underlying weakness in the chart, with bulls struggling to sustain momentum at higher levels. Umair emphasized that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) trendline now plays a crucial role in determining the next direction. A confirmed breakdown below this RSI trendline could lead to another lower low, effectively continuing the current local downtrend and reinforcing bearish sentiment in the market. For now, the situation remains uncertain. XRP must hold firmly above the $2.38 support level and maintain strength along the RSI trendline. However, a failure to do so could expose XRP to deeper downside risks in the short term. Momentum Or Pause? The Decisive Moment For XRP MakroVision Research highlighted that XRP successfully halted its steep decline within the lower Golden Pocket region, between approximately $1.40 and $1.55, and has recovered as buying pressure resurfaced. In the short term, the firm noted that XRP is now approaching a key resistance range between $2.48 and $2.65. Related Reading: XRP Charts Telling A Tale: Q4 Setup Mirrors 2017 Bullish Breakout, Time To Buy? A failure to break above this zone could lead to temporary consolidation as the market gathers momentum for its next move. On the downside, the $1.96 level remains a critical support area, as losing it could reintroduce downside pressure. From an upside perspective, a decisive and sustained breakout above $2.65 could open the door for further gains toward $3.06. According to MakroVision Research, only a move beyond this level would confirm renewed bullish strength and restore clear upward momentum across the broader trend. In conclusion, the analyst emphasized that XRP’s precise targeting of the Golden Pocket and its swift recovery show that buyers are still active and defending key zones. However, the next major test lies in whether the bulls can generate enough momentum to overcome the $2.65 resistance and set the stage for a broader rally.

XRP has shown remarkable resilience after a turbulent event that saw over $19 billion wiped out from the crypto market. The token, which had fallen below $1.90 just ten days ago, is now showing signs of strength and looking like it’s going to break past $2.50 anytime soon. This rebound comes amid an atmosphere of widespread fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) across the market. Despite the shaky sentiment, on-chain data suggests that this is a buy signal for XRP. XRP Rebounds Strongly After Market Capitulation Santiment’s latest data reveals that XRP’s recovery from its flash crash lows around $1.90 to $2.20, and then towards $2.50, has unfolded in tandem with one of the most intense waves of negative sentiment recorded this year. Notably, the platform’s crowd sentiment ratio reached its lowest level since January, reflecting the extreme point of pessimism among traders. Related Reading: XRP Price Is Trapped Under A Bearish Structure, What Happens If It Doesn’t Break $2.5 This extreme pessimism was a result of the XRP price crashing alongside many other cryptocurrencies. News and macroeconomic events, particularly the US tariff announcement on China, caused many XRP holders to sell at a loss under intense Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD). This, in turn, caused the crowd sentiment to tank massively.  Data from the on-chain analytics platform Santiment shows that the ratio of positive versus negative comments surrounding XRP fell to 1.856, its lowest point since late January 2025. The chart from Santiment illustrates how this ratio has been deteriorating steadily since mid-September. It dropped from 1.93 on September 19 to 1.44 by October 1 before plunging to 1.01 on October 8 and staying around that level for nearly a week.  This sustained period of pessimism shows shaken confidence among XRP traders during the recent price volatility. However, there are early signs of stabilization. The sentiment ratio has begun to recover slightly, rising to 1.35 at the time of writing. This means that some optimism is returning now that XRP is trying to reclaim $2.5. What This Means For XRP’s Next Move XRP’s ability to rebound under such heavy FUD suggests the asset may be entering a stronger accumulation phase. According to Santiment, the low ratio of positive to negative comments is typically a buy signal, especially for traders who have been looking to accumulate at lower prices. Santiment noted this by saying that “prices typically move opposite to retail’s expectations.”  Related Reading: The XRP Price Roadmap To $8: How An Over 50% Bounce Could Materialize If XRP manages to maintain its position above $2.50, it could be interpreted as confirmation of renewed bullish momentum. From here, the next price targets would be earlier support levels at $2.72 and $2.80 in the short term. Stronger bullish momentum would see XRP extend the rally and break above $3. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.4, down by 1% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Pxfuel, chart from Tradingview.com

A pro-XRP software developer sparked fresh debate this week by saying it takes “serious conviction” to hold volatile coins like XRP through long, wild swings. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Goes Big — $255M Longs Opened Before Trump–China Summit Vincent Van Code said holding XRP all the way to $1,000 — let alone $10,000 — would take “mental illness.” His comments have drawn attention not just for the blunt wording but for the story they tell about the human side of crypto risk. Holder Psychology Under Stress According to Van Code, the real test begins long before a coin hits big numbers. He pointed to Bitcoin as an example: Bitcoin traded under $1 in 2010 and now sits above $110,000. Many claim they would have held from those early days, but Van Code argued most people would have sold around $100. Every talks about “oh if I bought BTC for $1 id because billionaire today”. What you fail to realize is 99% of people would sell even at $100. Or what about when it dumped from $10k down to $1k then back up again. You really have to almost be mentally unstable to hold from $1… — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 19, 2025 Reports have also noted whales who were inactive for more than a decade recently moving coins bought for under $1,000 and cashing out millions or billions. The famous case of the French buyer who spent 10,000 BTC on pizza remains a blunt reminder that people do sell, sometimes at huge regret. XRP Near Key Demand Zone Technical calls are mixed. Ether Nasyonal, a crypto analyst, told followers that XRP is “cooking something” on the 1-month chart and highlighted an important demand zone. Following the sharp drop and quick bounce on Oct. 10, XRP failed to break past $2.5 and is still short of the $3 level. The token is down 14% this month. $XRP is cooking something up.

(@EtherNasyonaL) October 19, 2025 Past movements add weight to caution: XRP plunged more than 90% after peaking above $3 back in 2018, a crash that punished holders who sold in panic and then watched prices recover later. Personal Stories And Public Bets Some holders frame their approach as a long-term plan. One user, TheXFactor33, said he has held XRP for over eight years and has weathered multiple crashes. Van Code has said he mentally removed the money from his balance sheet and intends not to sell even if prices head far higher. He told followers his aim is to convert the stake into something concrete for his family, such as buying a home for his children. Long-Term Bets Face Real Tests Views on how high XRP could go differ widely. Some analysts project a bullish scenario that sees XRP at $1,000 by 2040, a forecast that would require years of patience — roughly a 15-year hold from today’s levels under $3 — and a lot of market resilience.

A recent post by XRP commentator Remi Relief on the social media platform X has looked into the possibility of XRP’s price reaching the $1,000 price level. XRP is currently trading well below even the double-digit mark. However, according to this crypto commentator, XRP can get to $1,000, and the world doesn’t need to wait until 2030 for this to happen. Vision Of XRP’s Global Purpose In his post, Remi Relief questioned the widespread belief that a $1,000 price target could only be achieved by XRP by 2030. The timeline for XRP to reach $1,000 is going to be far less than that, with the analyst noting that the global economy is moving too quickly for it to take that long. He described the altcoin’s rise as something far bigger than predictions, and this is because the cryptocurrency is set to play an important role in stabilizing the world’s financial system. Related Reading: XRP Price To Crash 40%? Analyst Reveals Worst-Case Scenario Remi Relief’s outlook places XRP at the core of a growing realignment in the world’s financial system. “It’s going that high for the world’s sake,” he said. He contends that the cryptocurrency’s growth is tied to a global effort to rebalance debt and liquidity. Hence, the recent price crashes we’ve seen with XRP and other cryptocurrencies are a deliberate play by institutional players to accumulate more XRP while smaller investors capitulate.  According to Remi Relief, these shakeouts are deliberate and designed to clear the market so that major entities can assume dominance before the price finally explodes. He also suggested that political resistance, particularly from the Democratic Party in the United States, could slow or suppress XRP’s ascent, as maintaining control over the traditional banking system aligns with their interests. If such resistance succeeds, the token might fall short of the $1,000 target but could still reach between $100 and $300 before stabilizing. Nonetheless, this is an acceptable outcome given the current XRP price levels. What Must Align For The Altcoin To Reach $1,000 Extraordinary developments in both market structure and adoption would be required in order for XRP to reach a four-digit price level. Predictions like these, as we’ve seen from many XRP enthusiasts, are dependent on whether the token gains widespread adoption in the world’s financial ecosystem.  Related Reading: XRP’s Most Important Week In History: Here’s What’s Coming For Ripple Institutional integration would have to expand to a scale where XRP becomes an indispensable liquidity bridge for global payments, central bank settlements, and large-value transfers. At the same time, demand from major financial institutions, including banks, fintech companies, and possibly even governments, would need to grow exponentially in order for this to be reflected in the XRP price. At the same time, a reduction in the liquid supply would be needed. This could happen through large-scale lockups, increased network utility, or widespread adoption in tokenized asset systems that reduce the circulating supply of XRP.  In another post on the social media platform X, Remi Relief projected that the altcoin’s price could surge to $1,700 if it repeats its 2017/2018 performance.  At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.42.

Economist and former forex analyst Moonchaser is explaining why expectations of the XRP price reaching $100,000 are not realistic. According to Moonchaser, many XRP fans misunderstand how market value works by claiming that XRP has no market cap. The economist highlighted that XRP, like any other asset or cryptocurrency, is affected by supply, demand, and liquidity. Economist Explains The Reality Behind Price Reaching $100,000 Moonchaser, who studied economics and previously worked as a forex analyst, says that some people in the XRP community believe the token can reach extreme prices because they think it has “no market cap.” This idea, Moonchaser explains, is built on a misunderstanding of how currencies are valued and traded in real-world markets. In their view, economic principles apply equally to all assets, whether they are fiat money, commodities, or digital tokens. Related Reading: Dogecoin 3rd Cycle Explosion: Analyst Revels The Only Difference From Last Two Cycles Using the U.S. dollar as an example, Moonchaser notes that every currency has a measurable total value based on the amount in circulation and its global trade. The dollar’s value changes daily because of the balance between supply, demand, and liquidity. The same rule applies to the XRP price, which also trades across international markets and follows the same market laws. It means that XRP’s price is not free from limits and cannot simply rise endlessly based on belief or community hype. Moonchaser stresses that ignoring these realities creates unrealistic expectations within the XRP community. According to them, calling XRP a “currency” does not make it limitless in value; instead, XRP functions within the same market framework that governs all other financial assets. XRP Can’t Overtake Bitcoin Due To Market Structure In their post, Moonchaser further explains that market capitalization, which is price multiplied by circulating supply, applies to every form of tradable asset. Whether it’s fiat money, gold, or a digital coin, traders can always calculate the total market value. XRP is no exception to this rule. The economist points out that XRP has a measurable circulating supply and a price that moves through normal market discovery, where the balance between buyers and sellers directly determines its potential value, not wishful thinking. “Currency does not mean a capless asset,” Moonchaser says, reminding traders that every market has structure and limits. Related Reading: Why The Dogecoin Price Could Still Hit A 600% Rally To Send It Above $1.5 Moonchaser emphasizes that their comments do not spread fear or negativity toward XRP. Instead, they want XRP investors to understand the realistic economic structure behind its price movement. XRP’s market position depends on measurable data, not speculation about infinite growth. The economist concludes that this is not FUD—it is simply market reality based on economics. Through this explanation, Moonchaser helps the XRP community see that price growth depends on genuine demand and market behavior, not dreams of capless value. While XRP continues to be an essential player in digital finance, the idea of it reaching $100,000 or surpassing Bitcoin remains far from economic reality.

XRP price started a recovery wave above $2.40. The price is now facing resistance near $2.5350 and at risk of a fresh decline. XRP price is moving lower from the $2.5350 zone. The price is now trading above $2.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $2.420 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it clears the $2.5350 resistance. XRP Price Faces Resistance XRP price formed a base above $2.20 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price surpassed the $2.350 and $2.40 resistance levels. The bulls were able to push the price above $2.50, and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.647 swing high to the $2.190 low. However, the bears remained active near the $2.5350 level and prevented more gains. The price failed to clear the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.647 swing high to the $2.190 low. It is again moving below $2.50. The price is now trading above $2.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $2.420 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. 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 $2.5350. A clear move above the $2.5350 resistance might send the price toward the $2.580 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.720. Another Drop? If XRP fails to clear the $2.50 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.420 level. The next major support is near the $2.40 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.40 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.350. The next major support sits near the $2.320 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.250. 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 – $2.420 and $2.40. Major Resistance Levels – $2.50 and $2.5350.

The XRP price rebounded above $2.40 to start the week as fresh fundamentals offset recent market turbulence.

XRP's price trends to the upside after a sharp decline on the daily chart. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview Rising Volumes And Derivatives Interest Bolster Liquidity On-chain and market data show improving participation. Spot volume climbed sharply as the XRP price advanced 5% in 24 hours, suggesting renewed buyer engagement after the historic leverage flush. In regulated markets, CME data highlight a breakout year for XRP futures and options, with record open interest and an expanding base of large institutional holders. This two-pronged backdrop, stronger spot activity plus deeper derivatives liquidity, can compress spreads, reduce slippage, and make it easier for institutions to deploy size. Meanwhile, Ripple announced a $200,000 security bounty for its XRPL lending stack, a signal to banks and treasurers that enterprise-grade security and governance remain priorities. Xrp Price Levels To Watch On The Path To $5 On a technical perspective, the XRP price is wrestling with layered resistance levels, starting with the 20-day SMA near $2.66, followed by $2.80–$3.00, and the prior cycle zone around $3.10–$3.19. Clearing these with strong volume would open a run toward $3.50–$3.84 (the former ATH), where a decisive breakout could invite momentum flows and push targets toward $5 in a favorable market. On the downside, $2.32 is initial support, and losing it risks a retest of $2.10. Momentum gauges (RSI/MACD) have stabilized from oversold readings, implying room for upside if spot demand persists and Bitcoin’s recovery holds. Related Reading: Want To Buy ‘Cheap’ Bitcoin? Pundit Reveals Where Whales Will Be Buying If the XRP price reclaims $2.66 and $2.80 with conviction, and institutions keep adding via treasuries and futures, a $3–$5 range in the next bull leg is achievable, while failure to hold $2.32–$2.10 would delay the timeline. As liquidity rebuilds, risk management around these levels remains essential. Cover image from ChatGPT, XRPUSD chart from Tradingview

XRP’s price has stabilized after its recent crash and is now making a slow recovery to $2.50 with early signs of renewed strength. The cryptocurrency is now under close observation by traders waiting for the next decisive move. One such observation is an ambitious forecast that has surfaced online, projecting an astronomical rally for XRP.  A crypto commentator known as Remi Relief shared a post on the social media platform X, using artificial intelligence to support his claim that XRP could reach as high as $1,700 if it repeats its explosive run from 2017 to 2018. The Analyst’s AI-Backed Projection In his post, Remi Relief revisited XRP’s 2017 rally, noting that the token had surged by about 76,000% rather than the commonly cited 64,000%. He explained that if XRP were to replicate that same level of growth in the current market cycle, its price could reach around $1,700.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $1,200 With 50,000% Run Driven By These Factors The image attached to his post, which appears to be an interaction with Grok 3, an artificial intelligence tool, illustrated this calculation by adjusting previous errors in the percentage increase.  According to the AI’s analysis, XRP’s 2017 rise from $0.005 to $3.84 represented an actual gain of about 76,700%. When this growth rate is applied to XRP’s present market value, the resulting projection points to an estimated price of $1,697.27, rather than the previously calculated figure of $1,414.40.  Grok concluded that although earlier projections contained mathematical inaccuracies, the underlying argument that XRP remains capable of another extraordinary price expansion fits within the speculative nature of crypto price projections. Taking this correction into account, Remi Relief revised his earlier outlook, abandoning his initial $1,200 target and adopting the higher $1,700 estimate as a more accurate reflection of what a repeat of XRP’s 2017 to 2018 rally could achieve for its current price. The Fine Line Between Optimism And Reality The crypto market that witnessed XRP’s rise in 2017 was an entirely different one from what exists today. Back then, the industry was still in its experimental phase, and investments were mostly due to hype and unregulated enthusiasm.  Related Reading: The XRP Price Roadmap To $8: How An Over 50% Bounce Could Materialize Retail investors poured in with little resistance, and even small inflows had an outsized effect on token prices because overall liquidity and capitalization were relatively low. Particularly, XRP’s 76,000% rally occurred in an environment where total crypto market capitalization was under $1 trillion. To replicate that same magnitude of rally now, XRP would need capital inflows on a scale that is greater than anything the crypto market has ever witnessed. An XRP price of $1,700, given its current circulating supply of around 59.97 billion tokens, would translate to a market cap exceeding $101 trillion. This is an astronomical figure that surpasses the combined value of the entire world’s GDP. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.47, up by 5.9% in the past 24 hours.

XRP has found itself back under the microscope as bullish momentum is yet to return with full force. Another weekend is here, and XRP’s price action is still perambulating around last weekend’s flash crash, which saw the cryptocurrency register its biggest liquidation candlestick in history.  Now, XRP is trying to recover to higher price levels above $2. Interestingly, one technical analysis warns that, before any major rebound, the price of XRP could suffer a severe decline, possibly down as much as 40%. While such a drop would be painful for holders, the scenario is being cast not as a permanent collapse but as a capitulation move that might precede a stronger rally. Related Reading: Biggest Shiba Inu Burn In Months — And It Came From A Coinbase Account Worst Case Scenario What transpired last weekend in the crypto markets qualifies as the largest deleveraging event in recent memory. Leveraged positions were forcibly closed out across many exchanges, leading to cascading liquidations that sent price action into a free fall. As such, about $19 billion in positions was wiped out in the span of hours. In XRP’s case, that intense pressure led to a violent plunge that created a deep low wick to break below $1.6 on its price chart before a quick rebound above $2.2. That wick is central to the argument that the forced selling squeezed both longs and shorts, clearing excess leverage and setting the stage for price discovery to reset. However, a suggestion is that the worst may not yet be fully priced in, and that this purge might continue deeper before sentiment truly turns  bullish. This worst-case scenario outlook is based on an analysis by Steph Is Crypto that envisions another possible 40% crash in the XRP price. As shown in the price chart below, XRP’s price action might fall to revisit last weekend flash crash bottom just above $1.55. This price level may represent the deepest downside target before the market catches its footing again. If current levels give way, say if XRP loses its more immediate support zones at $2.2 and $2, the descent toward that boundary would amount to a drop of about 30 to 40%. XRP Price Chart Analysis. Source: Steph Is Crypto on X What’s Next After The Crash? The wick already formed by the sudden flash crash is interpreted as an initial flush of stops, but the full erosion of weak hands might still have room to run. Only after that purge can a more sustainable rebound be believable. Related Reading: Bitcoin Plunges To $105k As Investors Shift To Gold After Crypto Carnage If the worst-case scenario plays out, the path forward would require XRP to first establish strong support near or around $1.55, shake off residual volatility, and then gather volume and momentum for the next leg upward. From here, the analyst projected an extended rally that will see the XRP price break into new all-time highs above $3.8. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.35, up by 4% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from TradingView

Crypto analyst Remi has predicted that the XRP price could hit $1,200. The analyst also highlighted factors that could spark this 50,000% increase for the altcoin even as it crashes alongside the broader crypto market at the moment.  Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $1,200, Here’s Why In an X post, Remi stated that the charts are now showing that an E-wave rally to $1,200 for the XRP price. The analyst noted that in 2017, the altcoin recorded a 76,000% gain, with no utility and driven solely by retail speculation. However, this time around, XRP only needs a 50,000% gain to reach this target, and it has utility and institutional FOMO, which makes this projected target more promising.  Related Reading: Analyst Reveals The Chances Of The XRP Price Rallying 300% To $9 This Bull Run This institutional FOMO is expected to come through the XRP ETFs, which are set to be approved by the SEC once the U.S. government shutdown ends. While these funds are expected to drive new liquidity into the XRP ecosystem, it remains to be seen how much impact they will have on the XRP price.  Meanwhile, Remi advised XRP holders to take profits as the XRP price records this projected parabolic rally. He added that they should take profits at different intervals, because a black swan event could happen out of nowhere before they reach the ‘E Wave.’ The analyst also mentioned that no one can ever time the top, which is why it is best to take profits along the way up.  This XRP price prediction comes as the altcoin declines alongside the broader crypto market. XRP is trading just above the psychological $2 level as trade tensions between the U.S. and China, along with other macro factors such as the prolonged U.S. government shutdown, spark bearish sentiment in the market.  XRP Could See Another Leg Down Before A Reversal Crypto analyst CasiTrades indicated that the XRP price could see another leg down before any bullish reversal. This came as she noted that the altcoin isn’t showing the strength that would invalidate the final wave down, and that price is stalling right around the Wave 4 resistance levels.  Related Reading: The XRP Price Roadmap To $8: How An Over 50% Bounce Could Materialize CasiTrades further stated that if the current XRP price action were a deep V-shaped recovery, then there should have been a strong breakout above key resistance at $2.82. However, that breakout hasn’t come, which is why she is leaning towards the market needing one more wave down for full exhaustion and a change of sentiment. The analyst predicted that a retest of the .618 retracement around $1.46 or the golden pocket near $1.35 is possible for the next wave down. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.33, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP is showing signs of hesitation after a strong rebound, struggling to push past key resistance levels. The recent price action fits neatly within an Elliott Wave pattern, suggesting the market may be entering its final consolidation phase before the next major move unfolds. Market Pauses After The Storm CasiTrades, in a recent market update, explained that following last Friday’s sharp wipeout, prices managed to rebound impressively, but that momentum now appears to be losing steam. According to the analyst, such pauses are natural after strong moves. In Elliott Wave Theory (EWT), this type of slowdown aligns with Wave 4, a stage where the market consolidates before preparing for the final impulsive wave. Related Reading: Is The XRP Bottom In? Top Crypto Analyst Turns Ultra-Bullish The analyst emphasized that markets rarely pivot directly after a major Wave 3 decline. Instead, they often complete an exhausted Wave 5 move to wrap up the impulse cycle before a fresh uptrend begins. However, CasiTrades noted that the market has not yet shown the kind of strength needed to invalidate the final dip.  Price action is currently stalling around Wave 4 resistance levels. If the market were truly in a sharp V-shaped recovery, it should have already cleared the $2.82 resistance mark with strong momentum, but that has yet to happen. Given these conditions, the analyst believes that the market may still need one more wave down to fully exhaust selling pressure and reset sentiment.  Market Data Chaos: No “Universal” XRP Chart CasiTrades went on to emphasize that market data across exchanges has become highly inconsistent, making accurate analysis challenging. The analyst pointed out that each trading platform displayed a different low during the recent crash, with some pairs dipping below $1, while others managed to hold at much higher levels. With this disparity, CasiTrades advised traders to focus on the exchange they are personally trading on to ensure precision, as there is no “universal” XRP chart. Related Reading: Analyst Says Be Concerned About XRP Price When This Starts Happening To 3-Day Candles According to the analyst, on Binance USD, XRP’s price wicked as low as $0.77, marking a sharp 72% drop from local highs and falling below the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level. While CasiTrades believes such extreme lows are unlikely to repeat, the next potential retracement levels around $1.46 (0.618 Fib) and the golden pocket near $1.35 remain key areas of interest. These zones align with multiple technical factors, including Wave 5 extensions, macro Fibonacci retracements, and Wave 2 targets. The analyst explained that if XRP were to retest these deeper levels, it could trigger a powerful reversal, potentially setting the stage for the long-anticipated impulsive wave that targets the $6.50 to $10.00 range.  Despite the chaos caused by the recent market crash, CasiTrades sees a potential silver lining. She noted that the crash might have shifted XRP’s structure from a shallow Wave 4 correction to a broader macro Wave 2 retracement, which may precede the strongest impulse waves in the cycle.

According to chart work shared by market analyst Mikybull, XRP is sitting inside what he calls a tight bullish structure that could lead to a sharp rise. Reports have disclosed the setup on a three-week chart and suggested the corrective phase may be ending. The analyst flagged several price levels that traders are now watching closely. Related Reading: Ethereum Beware — Analyst Says XRP’s Next Bull Run Could Be Deadly Technical Setup And Key Levels Mikybull pointed to an ABC correction pattern that looks close to finishing. He showed XRP hovering around $2.50 and sitting just above a long-term moving average, a zone that has acted as support in prior cycles. On his chart the 1.00 Fibonacci level is pegged to $1.94, while the 1.272 extension comes in at $3.25. The next major upside target, the 1.618 extension, is marked at about $6.28. A move past $3.25, according to this view, could clear the way toward $6.28 and possibly beyond. $XRP Hate it or like it, this setup is going to be explosive during breakout. pic.twitter.com/pgGbC0awzX — Mikybull ????Crypto (@MikybullCrypto) October 15, 2025 ‘Explosive’ Setup Based on reports, the 1.272 level at $3.25 is the first real line of resistance to overcome. If XRP breaks that, momentum traders may push price toward the 1.618 level at $6.28. The analyst described the setup as “explosive,” pointing to how tightly price has been squeezed inside a narrow range. Past patterns of similar squeeze-and-break setups have produced quick runs, and that is the parallel he drew on the chart. He also flagged the idea that a journey into double digits could follow a decisive breakout, though that would require several big moves to align. Bitcoin’s Recent Strength And Timelines Bitcoin’s recent activity was used as context for the altcoin case. Reports note Bitcoin reached $125,725 on Oct. 5 after bouncing from a low near $108,650 on Sept. 25. Between Sept. 25 and Oct. 5 there were seven green days out of nine. A market commentator, writing under the name Nathaniel Rothschild, suggested that if that $125,725 mark was a true peak for Bitcoin, then some altcoins — including XRP — could test their own highs within about three weeks. That would place possible new highs in the week starting Oct. 26, according to his projection. If this was the new all-time high for Bitcoin, XRP and other altcoins will have their own in three weeks. — Nathaniel C. J. Rothschild (@NCJRothschild) October 5, 2025 Risks, Sentiment, And Timing Market sentiment toward XRP has been weak recently, with the token down about 14% over the last seven days. That bruise has left some holders cautious. The technical case rests largely on pattern recognition and Fibonacci math rather than fresh on-chain data or new adoption headlines. Related Reading: Michael Saylor Issues Rally Cry To Bitcoin Army: “Starve The Bears!” Price action and trading volume will be the real tell. Projections tied to Bitcoin’s path are time-sensitive and could miss if broader crypto flows change. In short, the outlook offered by Mikybull is optimistic and clear in its targets: $3.25 then $6.28, with higher levels possible after that.

A potential XRP supply squeeze may be brewing, and new insights from leading market watchers suggest that the impact on price could be significant. Crypto analyst Zach Rector has warned that the long-dismissed ”XRP supply shock” narrative is no longer just talk. As more XRP is locked, tokenized, and deployed in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystems, the available supply continues to tighten. XRP Supply Shock To Evolve From Meme To Market Reality  Crypto analyst Zach Rector ignited discussions about XRP’s circulating supply this week after posting on X social media that the “XRP supply shock is not just a meme anymore.” Rector explained that while the concept once seemed exaggerated, developments within the Flare ecosystem are now turning it into a measurable market trend, where on-chain demand could limit liquidity over time.  Related Reading: Famous Analyst Calls XRP The Ethereum Killer As Experts Predict What Comes Next Rector revealed that he recently minted 100 FXRP, adding to the 90 FXRP he created the previous week, to explore how XRP could generate yield with the Flare ecosystem without leaving the XRP Ledger. He emphasized that the altcoin’s growing role in DeFi is one of the key dynamics investors should watch as more assets are bridged and locked.  Supporting this, Rector shared a Whale Alert report showing that 4,000,000 XRP, worth more than $11.21 million, had been locked in escrow in a Flare core vault linked to the XRP Ledger. He revealed that once XRP is locked, it is minted and represented as FXRP on the FlareNetworks, effectively removing it from active circulation while enabling yield generation.  Rector disclosed that Flare’s Chief Executive Officer, Hugo Philion, previously stated that the company’s long-term target is to tokenize up to 5% of the total XRP supply within its network. Such a move could significantly impact liquidity and potentially create upward price pressure if demand for the cryptocurrency continues to climb.  Following the analyst’s post, the Flare community on X responded positively, emphasizing that the network is creating new yield opportunities for XRP holders and driving ecosystem growth.  Flare’s Expanding DeFi Role Through XRP In a separate update, FlareNetworks released a performance chart on X showing that FXRP activity and Total Value Locked (TVL) have been rising sharply since early September 2025. The chart indicates sustained growth in FXRP minting and redemption, signaling an accelerating participation across the network’s DeFi infrastructure. Related Reading: Analyst Says Be Concerned About XRP Price When This Starts Happening To 3-Day Candles Flare stated that each FXRP cap increase has triggered new waves of on-chain financial activity, gradually establishing the network as a significant influence in XRP’s DeFi adoption within the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem.  Further analysis from MessariCrypto’s Pulse Report supports this trend. The report found that FXRP minting has surpassed 30 million tokens, with TVL climbing by more than 25% in recent weeks. Messari also highlighted how key features within the Flare ecosystem, including “FAssets incentives, USDT0_to  liquidity, and the upcoming Firelightfi staking layer,” are transforming XRP from a non-productive asset into one capable of generating returns.  Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Rumors are circulating that BlackRock has partnered with Ripple to tokenize real-world assets on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). There has been no confirmation from either party, suggesting that these rumors may not be accurate.   Rumors Circulate About BlackRock’s Partnership With Ripple and XRP In an X post, XRP influencer JackTheRippler said that there are rumors that BlackRock is about to announce a partnership with Ripple to tokenize assets on the XRPL. Other XRP influencers, such as CryptoSensei and Bale, also shared the rumor, sparking excitement among XRP community members.  Related Reading: Investment CEO Highlights Why Ripple’s XRP Has The Strongest Utility In The Industry However, BlackRock and Ripple have yet to issue an official announcement about the rumored partnership, suggesting these claims may not be true. However, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink confirmed that they are building their own technology to tokenize several of their funds and expand their crypto offerings.  The BlackRock CEO noted that tokenization can help crypto-native investors access more traditional assets. He further remarked that if they could tokenize an ETF, they could get these investors into the more traditional long-term retirement products. Notably, the asset manager already has products, such as its tokenized money market fund, BUIDL, which runs on the Ethereum network.  It is worth mentioning that Ripple already partnered with the fund’s manager, Securitize, to enable off-ramp support for BlackRock’s BUIDL using their RLUSD stablecoin. This has so far been the closest to a partnership between Ripple and BlackRock amid rumors that the asset manager plans to tokenize assets on the XRP Ledger.  However, Ripple has so far helped advance upgrades to the XRP Ledger, which could compel institutions like BlackRock to tokenize their funds on the XRPL. This has included the launch of the Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) standard, which is designed to simplify the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).  Ripple Expands Into Treasury Markets While rumors of a Ripple and BlackRock partnership do not appear to be accurate, there are other recent developments that provide a bullish outlook for XRP. This includes Ripple’s expansion into the corporate treasury markets through the $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury, a provider of treasury management systems.  Related Reading: The XRP Price Roadmap To $8: How An Over 50% Bounce Could Materialize As part of the deal, Ripple and GTreasury will focus on enabling customers to carry out real-time cross-border payments using Ripple’s payment solution, in which XRP serves as the bridge currency. Meanwhile, according to Bloomberg, Ripple is also working to raise up to $1 billion to establish an XRP treasury company. The crypto firm plans to contribute some of its XRP holdings to set up the firm, while the proposed $1 billion is expected to be raised through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.35, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The price is now trading below $2.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.40 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it clears the $2.50 resistance. XRP Price Dips Further XRP price remained below the $2.60 barrier and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price dipped below $2.420 and $2.40 to enter a short-term bearish zone. The price even spiked below $2.30. A low was formed at $2.287, and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor recovery, and the price tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.647 swing high to the $2.287 low. The price is now trading below $2.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.40 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.40 level and the trend line. The first major resistance is near the $2.450 level, above which the price could rise and test the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.647 swing high to the $2.287 low at $2.467. A clear move above the $2.4670 resistance might send the price toward the $2.50 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.550 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.60. Another Drop? If XRP fails to clear the $2.40 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.30 level. The next major support is near the $2.280 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.280 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.250. The next major support sits near the $2.220 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.120. 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.

According to market charts and comments from well-known traders, XRP’s price action is drawing fresh attention as some investors say it could challenge Ethereum’s spot in the rankings. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Breaks 13-Year Silence, Moves $33 Million To Exchange A decade-long chart was shared that traces moves from 2013 through 2025, and one commentator went as far as to call the next leg a potential “Ethereum killer.” That claim has reignited debate across crypto circles. Technical Patterns Signal Repeats Crypto analyst Peter Brandt pointed to a repeating set of shapes on XRP’s chart — symmetrical triangles and long consolidations that ended in sharp rallies. The timeline covers a decade and breaks down into three phases. The first run, from 2013 to 2017, ended with an outsized surge that exceeded 70,000%. The second phase, roughly 2018 to 2024, produced a descending formation and then a dramatic breakout near the end of 2024, when price gains were about 600%. Now, price is being held inside a narrow range after a recent rejection at $3.66, with traders watching a band roughly between $2.60 and $2.80 for signs of a move. Community Voice Meets Hard Math Another crypto expert, Alex Cobb, comments that the next leg could topple Ethereum captured social media attention. “The next leg up on XRP will be the Ethereum killer,” he said. The next leg up on XRP will be the Ethereum killer https://t.co/m56o7FuOpo — Cobb (@Cobb_XRPL) October 13, 2025 But market data shows a big gap. XRP’s market cap sits near $147 billion while Ethereum’s is about $480 billion. At a current XRP price of $2.49, a rise of over 230% would be needed for XRP to cross $8 and overtake Ethereum, assuming ETH stays flat. That path is made steeper if Ether rallies again; in August it hit an all-time high of $4,950 after climbing 239% from April lows of $1,385. Market Cap Gap Remains Large History gives headlines, yet it is not proof that patterns will repeat. XRP did briefly become the second-largest cryptocurrency in 2018, which feeds today’s hopes. Still, some technical analysts have publicly softened earlier bullish calls, urging caution and recommending investors hold both tokens rather than expect a flip. Market behavior is shaped by many moving parts — money flows, macro events, and network updates — none of which are guaranteed to follow past scripts.

A pattern that looks clean on a long-term chart may be paused by regulatory headlines, changing investor appetite, or simply by a stronger rally in the rival asset.

XRP may be quietly setting the stage for another major breakout. Recent chart patterns and market behavior show striking similarities to its 2017 accumulation phase, a period that preceded a massive parabolic rally. As Q4 unfolds, technical indicators and Bitcoin dominance data hint that the long-awaited bullish setup could still be in play. Q4 Move Still Possible: XRP’s Bullish Potential Isn’t Gone Yet Crypto analyst CoinsKid recently shared an update confirming that the highly anticipated Q4 move for XRP is still a potential option. This optimistic outlook is heavily underpinned by the current data observed on the Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) chart, which the analyst views as a crucial barometer for altcoin performance. If BTC.D shows weakness, capital typically flows into assets like XRP, supporting the potential for a significant surge in the coming months. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Crashes 50% Over The Weekend, What Does This Mean For Price? However, CoinsKid pointed out that the recent loss of the $1.90 low last Friday introduced what he described as a structural anomaly into the equation. This development adds a layer of uncertainty to XRP’s short-term outlook, even as the broader setup continues to show potential. He further explained that for this bullish scenario to remain valid, Bitcoin dominance must stay below its 5-day resistance level on the CoinskidRibbon. At the same time, XRP needs to hold above its own 5-day CoinskidRibbon as support. Wyckoff Blueprint In Motion: XRP Mirrors Its 2017 Setup EᴛʜᴇʀNᴀꜱʏᴏɴᴀL, in a recent update, highlighted that XRP is currently positioned within a major accumulation area, signaling that a crucial phase may be unfolding for the asset. According to the analyst, the current market structure strongly mirrors the early stages of a Wyckoff accumulation pattern, a technical formation that often precedes large-scale bullish movements. Related Reading: XRP Bull Run Reloaded: Analyst Says Momentum Mirrors 2017’s Explosive Rally The Wyckoff method identifies this accumulation phase as a period where smart money quietly builds positions while the price remains range-bound. This typically occurs after extended declines, setting the stage for a powerful reversal once the market confirms strength.  From a technical perspective, this accumulation structure indicates growing pressure beneath key support zones, which often leads to a strong bullish cycle once a breakout occurs. The repeated testing of support levels, combined with diminishing selling volume, strengthens the case for a potential upside breakout in the near term. EᴛʜᴇʀNᴀꜱʏᴏɴᴀL also drew parallels to XRP’s behavior in the 2017 cycle, when a similar accumulation phase preceded one of the asset’s most explosive rallies, with XRP climbing all the way to the distribution zone, where profits were eventually taken. If history repeats, the altcoin could once again be on the verge of a powerful upward run. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

The XRP price has been exhibiting a complex pattern of consolidation and retracement for weeks. However, according to prominent market analyst Egrag Crypto, there’s a critical signal to watch for that could determine whether the cryptocurrency’s bullish narrative remains intact or not. The expert’s analysis, shared on X social media, highlights that the behaviour of XRP’s 3-day candles could soon decide the direction of its next major move.  XRP Price Integrity Hinges On 3-Day Candle Closes Below $2 In his post on X, Egrag Crypto explains the “measured move breakdown” for XRP, identifying a key technical formation in the form of a descending triangle that, based on its structure, points to a potential move toward $2.14. The accompanying chart shows XRP hovering between $2.40 and $2.60, with multiple retests of the same price levels over the past few months. Despite the brief wick to the downside, Egrag Crypto suggests that the structure continues to indicate consolidation within the range.  Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Would Be With The Market Cap Of Bitcoin The analyst reiterates that $2.65 remains a critical price target for XRP. If the cryptocurrency breaks and sustains above it, he predicts that it could regain upward momentum, potentially paving the way for renewed bullish sentiment. However, failure to hold current levels around $2.5 might expose XRP to deeper retracements, particularly if 3-day candles start closing below the $2.00 to $1.91 range.  Egrag Crypto warns that this specific candle behaviour is concerning, as it could signal a structural breakdown of XRP’s market cycle. It could also invalidate his bullish thesis, suggesting that the recent peak near $3.65 may have been the cycle top.  Additionally, the analyst’s chart shows XRP’s price action hovering above the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA), serving as a long-term support level. Should XRP maintain its position above this moving average, Egrag Crypto asserts that the cryptocurrency’s bullish setup remains valid. He noted that the next 60 to 90 days are expected to be crucial, as XRP’s reaction around the levels mentioned above could define the trajectory of the rest of the year.   XRP Faces 57% Chance Of Breaking To A New ATH In a separate analysis, Egrag Crypto introduced a 57% to 43% probability model, sharing his broader perspective on XRP’s potential price direction in the short term. He stated that there is a 57% probability that XRP could break into a new all-time high in the coming months. He also sees a 43% chance that the cryptocurrency could decline significantly, offering traders another opportunity to accumulate it at a price below $1.  Related Reading: Market Strategist: What You Should Expect For The XRP Next Leg While the probabilities of XRP’s near-term price favor a more bullish outcome, the bearish case remains plausible given the lingering macroeconomic uncertainty and overall crypto market volatility. Egrag Crypto notes that he is personally positioning himself toward the bullish scenario, aligning his expectations with the 57% chance of a major price breakout.
