THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

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

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

XRP price found support at $2.120 and started a fresh increase. The price is now gaining pace and might clear the $2.350 resistance zone. XRP price started a fresh increase above the $2.150 zone. The price is now trading above $2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a steep bullish trend line forming with support at $2.30 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might start another increase if there is a close above the $2.350 resistance. XRP Price Eyes More Gains XRP price remained supported above the $2.120 level and started a fresh upward wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to surpass the $2.150 and $2.220 levels. The bulls pushed the price above the $2.250 resistance zone to set the pace for more gains. Finally, it tested the $2.330 zone. A high was formed at $2.330 and the price is now consolidating gains above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.106 swing low to the $2.330 high. The price is now trading above $2.250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a steep bullish trend line forming with support at $2.30 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.330 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.350 level. The next resistance is $2.420. A clear move above the $2.420 resistance might send the price toward the $2.50 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.550 resistance or even $2.6350 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.750. Another Decline? If XRP fails to clear the $2.350 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.30 level. The next major support is near the $2.220 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.220 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.150 support. The next major support sits near the $2.120 zone. 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 – $2.300 and $2.250. Major Resistance Levels – $2.330 and $2.350.

After a brief period of consolidation and what looks like a looming break below the psychological $2 level, XRP is starting to show signs of bullishness. The cryptocurrency has recovered by 2% in the past 24 hours, even reaching an intraday peak of $2.2, which has allowed it to maintain a strong position above its critical support zone despite recent downward pressure.  Notably, an interesting technical analysis on the TradingView platform shows that XRP is about to enter the path into a bullish continuation to $4. Low Volatility Points To Shift From Bearish Momentum Recent price action has seen bullishness slowly creeping back ito XRP’s price action. Interestingly, crypto analyst MasterAnanda on the TradingView platform noted a strange XRP signal on the daily candlestick timeframe chart. Although strange, the strangeness is not in a bad way, as this is a bullish signal.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Reveals When The XRP Price Will Reach $25 – It’s Not Far Off According to his analysis on TradingView, the chart has transitioned from periods of high volatility and sharp swings, particularly noticeable from December through early April, to a phase characterized by increasingly small candles and narrowing price action. From April 13 to April 21, XRP’s daily candlesticks became significantly smaller, indicating minimal volatility even as the price moved upward. Nonetheless, this upward movement was enough to break above a downward sloping resistance trendline that has led to the creation of lower highs since January. A similar phenomenon occurred around April 28, with the price drifting slightly lower over seven days but refusing to form new lows. This kind of behavior, where price consolidates without breaking down, is often interpreted as a bullish continuation pattern. MasterAnanda sees this as a bullish signal. It is confirmation that bearish momentum has faded. No bearish action, no bearish momentum; just consolidation before additional growth. Consolidation Before Expansion: The Bullish Case For XRP The chart accompanying MasterAnanda’s analysis reinforces this outlook. XRP has repeatedly bounced from a clearly defined support zone around the $2.00 mark since April 16. The highlighted accumulation area on the chart shows that buyers have consistently stepped in when the price dips toward this region.  Related Reading: XRP Price Approaching Next Major Liquidity Zone, Main Levels To Watch Out For More importantly, each consolidation phase since the $1.61 low on April 7 has resulted in a higher low, further confirming a bullish structure. As the price continues to respect this zone, it lays the foundation for a strong upward breakout. The analyst projected a move toward $4, referencing a steep upward trajectory once the current range resolves to the upside. The green arrow marked on the chart above points directly toward this level. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.17, up by 2% in the past 24 hours.

Crypto analyst ArShevelev has raised the possibility of history repeating itself for the XRP price. If so, the analyst indicated that the altcoin could witness a 2017-like rally, which would send its price to double digits.  XRP Price To Reach $10 If History Repeats Itself In a TradingView post, ArShevelev predicted that the XRP price could reach as high as $10 if history repeats itself. He remarked that the current XRP chart screams “déjà vu” with the altcoin’s price action mirroring the 2014 to 2018 cycle. The analyst noted that XRP broke out from its 2014 all-time high (ATH) in 2017, leading to a massive rally. Related Reading: XRP Price Is Eyeing Another Breakout To $4: Analyst Says Watch This Level A similar setup is playing out for the XRP price, but with a twist. ArShevelev stated that XRP is struggling to break through the 2018 ATH resistance zone around $3.31, which he claimed reminded him of the breakout consolidation phase in 2017. The analyst added that this consolidation has historically led to a breakout, and the chart hints at a potential repeat. He affirmed that the price could witness a parabolic move if it breaks out soon, potentially targeting much higher levels. However, the analyst warned that the current resistance is a tough hurdle, and XRP might pull back to lower supports if it fails. ArShevelev also provided key levels to watch out for.  He highlighted $3.31 as the major resistance while $1.643 is the major support. The breakdown risk is $0.650, meaning the XRP price could still drop to last year’s lows. The analyst admitted that he isn’t fully convinced about the setup but considers it intriguing. He added that this could be XRP’s moment to shine.  The Altcoin Needs To Break Out Of Its Current Range Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently highlighted the need for the XRP price to break out of its current range. In an X post, he stated that the key levels to watch are $2 and $2.26. The analyst added that a decisive close outside this range could set the tone for the next major trend.  Related Reading: XRP Price Breaks Above ‘Magic Line’ With Bullish Continuation Toward $3 Martinez looks to be favoring a downtrend for the altcoin’s price in the short term. In another post, he stated that XRP could be due for a retracement, with the TD Sequential flashing a sell signal on the 3-day chart.  Crypto analyst CasiTrades also didn’t rule out a possible correction for the XRP price. However, she claimed the altcoin could bounce off key supports to new highs, noting that momentum was building. She revealed that the RSI is showing signs of selling exhaustion on the lower timeframes, and the price action is beginning to compress. This often signals a bigger move is on the horizon.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.17, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP price is once again showing bullishness, even after the altcoin has been plagued by dips. This time around, the cryptocurrency is forming a rather interesting pattern that suggests a continuation of the bullish rally that began back in April. While this pattern is yet to be complete, a total formation would be extremely bullish for the altcoin’s price. XRP Price Breaks Out Of Yo-Yo Movement So far, the XRP price has been bouncing at support just above $2, something that crypto analyst MetaShackle on the TradingView website likened to a ‘yo-yo’ movement. In place of this has been a rising bullish pattern, which is known as a Reverse Dragon Pattern. Related Reading: 72% Of Binance Traders Go Long On Dogecoin, What Does This Mean For Price? This Reverse Dragon Pattern has been forming on the daily chart, and history shows that this means the XRP price has the potential to rise faster from here. So far, the analyst explains that the Dragon head is already forming on the daily chart. This is forming above the upper trend line shown in the chart below. The next phase of this, if completed, would be a strong upward move as bulls regain control. Additionally, MetaShackle predicts “a liquidation candle in the general area of the Weak Dojo/Reverse Waterfall line.” The upward movement is expected to continue, and as this trend plays out over the next few weeks, the XRP price is expected to rise above $3 this month. Analyst Shows Where Price Could Be Headed Next While MetaShackle sees the XRP price going up with the formation of the Reverse Dragon Pattern, another crypto analyst has given possible scenarios that could play out from here besides the bullish one. This goes into whether the bulls win, the bears take over, or the current tug-of-war for control continues. Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Bullish Path To $5 As Long As This Level Holds The first scenario, is if the price breaks the resistance at $2.3612. In this case, the crypto analyst does expect the price to continue to go up. This uptrend is expected to see it break multiple major levels before finally finding resistance at $2.9 again. Another scenario is when the bulls break below support at $2.03445, which is yet to happen. This could trigger further crashes for the XRP price, and the downtrend could push it toward $1.6, where there is support at $1.63339. Last but not least is if the bulls and bears continue to vie for control with no clear winner. In this case, the crypto analyst believes the sideways movement would continue. “At this moment, there is hidden divergence appearing on XRPUSD as if it will strengthen the bearish mood,” the analyst explains. “If the price breaks the resistance level, the hidden divergence will be cancelled.” Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP price found support at $2.080 and started a fresh increase. The price is now gaining pace and might clear the $2.150 resistance zone. XRP price started a recovery wave above the $2.10 zone. The price is now trading above $2.120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $2.1450 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might start another increase if there is a close above the $2.1680 resistance. XRP Price Eyes More Gains XRP price remained supported above the $2.080 level and started a fresh recovery wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to surpass the $2.10 and $2.120 levels. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $2.1450 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The bulls pushed the price above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.2580 swing high to the $2.078 low. The price is now trading above $2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.1680 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.2580 swing high to the $2.078 low. The first major resistance is near the $2.180 level. The next resistance is $2.20. A clear move above the $2.20 resistance might send the price toward the $2.220 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.250 resistance or even $2.30 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.320. Another Decline? If XRP fails to clear the $2.180 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.1320 level. The next major support is near the $2.120 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.120 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.080 support. The next major support sits near the $2.050 zone. 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 – $2.120 and $2.080. Major Resistance Levels – $2.180 and $2.20.

As the XRP price takes center stage, bold predictions about its future outlook persist across online forums and social media. Among the most ambitious claims is the idea that the XRP price could skyrocket to $1,000 or even beyond. In response to these projections, a crypto analyst has outlined several key factors that would need to align for XRP to reach such a target.  Factors Needed To Take The XRP Price To $1,000 While it’s tempting to imagine XRP hitting a four-digit price target, X (formerly Twitter) crypto analyst Jasmin argues that the numbers don’t support such a prediction. For the XRP price to reach $1,000, it would need to climb as high as 46,848%, accompanied by key factors like a significant rise in global adoption, especially by financial institutions.  Related Reading: XRP Price To $1,000: Analyst Reveals Target For When Banks Start Using XRP Although Ripple, a blockchain company, has made progress in partnering with global banks and fintech firms for cross-border payments, that level of adoption is still nowhere near enough to support a $1,000 XRP price tag. To even approach this level, XRP would need to become a fundamental part of the global financial structure across different sectors, particularly in banking, remittance, and investment.  But beyond simple adoption, XRP would have to be deeply integrated into major economies in such a way that it becomes an indispensable currency for daily transactions. For this to happen, Jasmin reveals that the cryptocurrency would need widespread regulatory clarity to ensure that it can be used in multiple jurisdictions without any legal barriers.  The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the US SEC has already created years’ worth of uncertainty around XRP’s legal status. Until this issue is resolved favorably, the cryptocurrency’s potential for mainstream adoption remains limited.  Jasmin has also highlighted that XRP would have to incorporate mechanisms that would drastically reduce its circulating supply. While the cryptocurrency’s price could grow with more aggressive token burns, a jump to $1,000 still seems unlikely. Such a high valuation would also need massive speculative trading activities, which are usually seen during bull markets.  How Market Cap Influences A $1,000 Projection Based on Jasmin’s analysis, the most significant factor that makes a $1,000 XRP price projection unrealistic is its market capitalization. Currently, XRP has a market cap of about $125.15 billion, and for its price to hit a four-digit level, its total market valuation would need to reach $50 trillion.  Related Reading: XRP Price Cross That Led To 20x Rally In 2017 Returns To put this in perspective, the global crypto market capitalization today is $3.09 trillion, according to CoinGecko data. This would mean that XRP alone would need a market cap over 15x higher than the entire crypto market.  Furthermore, Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, has never even come close to reaching a $10 trillion market cap. BTC’s market valuation currently sits at $1.92 trillion, meaning XRP would have to surpass it by over 25x to get a $50 trillion market cap.   Due to these extreme market cap requirements, Jasmin argues that a $1,000 or even $10,000 target is highly unrealistic. However, she acknowledges that a price surge to $5 or even $10 is a far more attainable goal. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP has been resting at the $2 level, but indications of movement are increasing. One crypto analyst by the name of “J4b1” recently stated that purchasing XRP at $2.20 is not too late. In fact, he thinks that it may be the perfect time, just before things change dramatically. His assertions are founded on historical price action, Ripple’s current strategy, and what institutions may do next. Related Reading: Bitcoin Mining Giant Abandons Full-Hold Strategy, Unloads $40M In Crypto XRP Price Kept Stable By Ripple’s Monthly Activity Ripple’s dominance over XRP’s supply is an important aspect of J4b1’s argument. Every month, the firm releases 1 billion XRP from escrow but sells only a fraction of it. The remaining amount is put back into escrow. These sales tend to occur via over-the-counter (OTC) channels rather than open markets. In the analyst’s view, this practice prevents Ripple from experiencing sharp price fluctuations. Is XRP about to explode or already overpriced? Is buying at $2.20 smart or is it too late? Let’s break it down with data, historical context, and Ripple’s price control strategy. ???????? pic.twitter.com/UHvbYD4GJl — J4b1 (@XRPJ4b1) May 4, 2025 He used an example: if Ripple wants to transfer $200 million using 100 million XRP, every coin will have to be worth $2. If the price rises too rapidly, Ripple can sell more. If it falls too far, they may buy some back. This strategy could be one of the reasons why XRP has not broken through the $2.20 barrier. Institutional Demand Could Change Everything J4b1 mentioned a few things that could drive XRP up. He cited possible regulatory clarity from a new US administration that could be more crypto-friendly. He also talked about the possibility of an XRP spot ETF and the growth of tokenized assets on the XRP Ledger. The analyst believes that if institutions begin accumulating in large quantities, Ripple’s current approach may not be sufficient to contain the price. If demand outstrips the supply Ripple has, the price may surge. XRP market cap currently at $125 billion. Chart: TradingView.com XRP’s History Holds Clues XRP’s journey began in 2012, when it was worth less than a penny. It picked up pace over the years as Ripple sold it to banks as a means of making cross-border payments faster and cheaper. That momentum took XRP to a high of $3.80 in the 2017 bull run. Related Reading: BNB Bulls Target $644 As Classic Chart Formation Emerges But everything changed when regulators stepped in. In 2015, Ripple was fined by FinCEN. Then, in 2020, the SEC lawsuit struck, slowing down XRP’s adoption and keeping the price under control. Nevertheless, Ripple continued to build, acquiring companies like Metaco and obtaining licenses across the globe. Whale Wallets Are Growing Rapidly Meanwhile, as XRP’s price remains stagnant, the large holders are filling up. According to recent statistics, there are now more than 300,000 addresses holding a minimum of 10,000 XRP. That’s an increase from around 281,000 as of December 2024. Whale wallets continue to rise even though the price remains largely flat around $2.20. That type of buildup tends to indicate a sense that prices may rise further in the future. It’s occurring as global uncertainty increases, which may be encouraging investors to get ready for the next major move. For the time being, XRP traders are paying close attention. A quick move on the upside may not be far away. Featured image from Gemini Imagen, chart from TradingView

XRP’s price action in the past seven days has been marked by a consistent decline from $2.25, putting the target at a probable break below $2. If XRP were to lose this support level, there’s a risk of a further crash until it reaches $1.6, as there isn’t a realistic support base between these levels. Nonetheless, an interesting technical indicator suggests that the cryptocurrency is headed for $9 by September 2025.  Analyst Eyes $9 XRP Target Using Gann Angle Resonance Grid A crypto analyst recently posted a technical projection on the social media platform X, showcasing a long-term XRP price chart structured around the 1×1 Gann Angle Resonance Grid on the 3-day candlestick timeframe chart. According to the chart, the analyst anticipates XRP could reach a price target of $9.63 by early September 2025, aligning with the upper edge of the “Topping Channel” in the Gann grid. This projection stems from the intersection of the Gann channel’s resistance trendlines and a key Fibonacci market cap extension level at the 4.236 Fib, which the analyst identifies as a major confluence point. Related Reading: Analyst Says “XRP Is Back”, Here’s Why Although a $9 target might seem a lot, as it would be far higher than XRP’s current all-time high of $3.40, it is quite conservative compared to some more extravagant predictions circulating within the XRP community. However, the $9 projection is the most realistic target based on the Gann angle resonance grid.  As it stands, the XRP price is in the mid-base zone, now at the cusp of entering the upper band called the topping channel. The technical structure of the rally resembles a stair-step progression, with each consolidation phase occurring near major grid lines. Strong Support At $1.60, But $9 In September Although the long-term outlook is a strong surge, there is also a need to consider the possibility of a short-term downside movement. If XRP fails to hold the mid-base level just above $2.00, the next structural support zone is around $1.60.  Related Reading: XRP Price Shoots For 20% Surge To $2.51 Amid Pullback To Breakout Zone Notably, the grid-based projection places XRP reaching the $9 target sometime around September 7, 2025. However, even if a strong rally and stronger inflows were to push XRP to this point, this might not be done in a straight line but gradually through a series of breakouts and pullbacks. The greater the breakout, the greater the pullbacks.  At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.14, up by 2.14% in the past 24 hours with an intraday high of $2.17. Right now, all eyes are on whether it can break above the descending trendline that has capped its price movement into lower highs and lower lows in the past seven days.

XRP price found support at $2.080 and started a fresh increase. The price is now facing resistance near $2.1650 and struggling to continue higher. XRP price started a recovery wave from the $2.080 zone. The price is now trading below $2.170 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $2.160 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might start another increase if there is a close above the $2.1680 resistance. XRP Price Recovery Could Fade XRP price started a downside correction below the $2.20 and $2.150 levels, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price even declined below the $2.120 level before the bulls appeared. A low was formed at $2.0780 and the price is now correcting losses. There was a move above the $2.10 and $2.120 levels. The price cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.2579 swing high to the $2.078 low. However, the bears are active near the $2.1650 zone. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $2.160 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.170 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.160 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.1680 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.2579 swing high to the $2.078 low. The next resistance is $2.20. A clear move above the $2.20 resistance might send the price toward the $2.220 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.250 resistance or even $2.30 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.320. Another Decline? If XRP fails to clear the $2.160 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.120 level. The next major support is near the $2.080 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.080 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.050 support. The next major support sits near the $2.020 zone. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.120 and $2.080. Major Resistance Levels – $2.1680 and $2.20.

The XRP price continues to show strong bullish signals in the medium term, with a crypto analyst forecasting a significant move to a new ATH. Despite ongoing market fluctuations, the cryptocurrency continues to hold key levels, maintaining a bullish path toward the $5 target.  Elliott Wave Maps Out XRP Price Path To $5 XForceGlobal, a Certified Elliott Wave analyst, recently shared a medium-timeframe Elliott Wave analysis of XRP, focusing on its price action and wave structure. According to the analyst, XRP remains on a bullish path, indicating a strong potential for upward movement toward the $5.4 target.  Related Reading: XRP Price Breaks Above ‘Magic Line’ With Bullish Continuation Toward $3 The price chart shows that XRP is in the final stages of a complex corrective pattern and is poised to enter a powerful third-wave rally. The current wave structure indicates that XRP is forming a “1-2 scenario,” with the next Wave 3 expected to launch its price significantly higher.  XForceGlobal has outlined a Fibonacci Retracement zone between the $2.00 and $1.80 range as a potential entry point, with price action showing resilience near this area. The critical price level to watch for XRP is the regional low at $1.60, which acts as the most important support level that would determine the cryptocurrency’s next move.  This support level is because if XRP’s price remains above it, its projected bullish scenario and current structure remain intact. On the other hand, if the price drops below it, the trend could shift bearish, potentially invalidating the bullish outlook.  With $1.60 acting as a strong support foundation, XForceGlobal projects that XRP could soon surge past $3.20 and potentially reach $5.40 in the coming months. This would mark a new all-time high for XRP, representing a 40.63% increase from its current ATH of $3.84.  $2.18 Flagged As Key Breakout Level For The Altcoin Sharing a similar bullish forecast, Bitcoin Benny, a crypto analyst, has shared a technical analysis of XRP on the 1-hour time frame to map out its likely price trajectory. According to the analyst, XRP is showing signs of recovery after enduring a sharp market correction in late April. Related Reading: XRP Price Pullback To $2 According To Plan For Historic Breakout To $10, Analyst Says The cryptocurrency had made a significant high of around $2.3 but underwent a dramatic drop, reportedly bottoming out at approximately $2.125, where buyers quickly stepped in to stabilize its price. This support level has since held strong, with the XRP price currently consolidating just below this point.  Marked on the right side of the chart, the analyst has pinpointed a key resistance level at $2.18, labeling this level as a critical breakout point. Suppose the altcoin can decisively break and close above $2.18. In that case, Bitcoin Benny predicts that it could trigger what he calls a “send season,” which is a momentum-driven rally that could push XRP toward new levels to potentially retest its previous highs.

A major accumulation trend is currently ongoing for XRP, with crypto whales actively adding to their positions. This provides a bullish outlook for the altcoin, considering it could break out from its current range following this accumulation phase.  XRP Whales On The Rise  In an X post, crypto analyst Kyle revealed that over 300,000 addresses now hold 10,000 XRP, a development which he noted screams rising confidence from whales and large holders. The analyst added that a strategic accumulation looks to be back and raised the possibility of the big players trying to front-run a major move in the XRP ecosystem.  Related Reading: Over $700 Million In XRP Moved In April, What Are Crypto Whales Up To? This major move could be the launch of an XRP ETF or the conclusion of the Ripple SEC lawsuit. An XRP ETF has a 90% chance of approval by the SEC this year. The launch of this fund could spark a surge in the token’s price, considering how it would drive more capital into its ecosystem.  Meanwhile, the conclusion of the Ripple SEC lawsuit would also be a major development in the XRP ecosystem, as both parties have already reached an agreement. However, the court still needs to rule on the agreement before the lawsuit can be considered done and dusted. The end of the lawsuit would provide clarity and could spark a significant surge in price.  Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also confirmed the accumulation trend among these whales. In an X post, he revealed that wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP have bought around 900 million XRP over the past month. Amid this accumulation trend, traders are also leaning bullish towards the asset.  In another post, he stated that 71.54% of traders on Binance futures with open XRP positions are leaning bullish.  What’s Next For The Altcoin? In an X post, crypto analyst Dark Defender discussed the current XRP price action and provided insights into what is next for the altcoin. He noted that XRP found resistance between $2.2 and $2.36 and dropped to $2.13 again. In line with this, the analyst remarked that the altcoin is getting ready to finish the correction and is on to the last bit.  Related Reading: XRP Mega Candle On The Horizon? Analyst Reiterates $27 Target The analyst projects an incoming surge with five waves. He predicts that the initial wave will send the XRP towards $3, and then the altcoin will reach $4.4 and $6.3 on Waves 3 and 5, respectively. A rally to $4.4 would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the token. Meanwhile, Dark Defender stated that $1.88 is the support level to keep an eye on.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.12, down 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Ripple, the blockchain technology company, has announced a significant commitment of $25 million aimed at supporting US classrooms and teachers.  This initiative is designed to equip both students and educators with essential resources to improve academic outcomes, foster economic resilience, and prepare for a rapidly changing job market. Ripple’s $25 Million Initiative  Despite the known correlation between educational success and long-term economic opportunity, the blockchain payment company stated on Monday that many classrooms across the country continue to struggle with inadequate resources.  Ripple highlighted a recent Gallup survey that revealed that 55% of US parents and adults expressed dissatisfaction with K-12 education quality, alleging widespread concerns about funding constraints in the education sector.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Bounce Expected By Analyst Who Called Bitcoin Bottom Ripple’s pledge seeks to address these challenges by providing critical support to students, teachers, and school staff, ultimately helping to rebuild confidence and drive positive results in the classroom. “Ripple has always championed financial and educational access for all, and we’re partnering with some of the most impactful organizations—DonorsChoose and Teach For America—to benefit thousands of classrooms across the US,” said Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple.  He emphasized the hope that this initiative will inspire others to contribute, starting with Teacher Appreciation Week and continuing throughout the year to ensure that educators and students have the necessary resources to create a brighter future. In a unique approach, the majority of the $25 million grant will be disbursed in Ripple USD (RLUSD), the company’s US dollar-backed stablecoin. Educational Opportunities For Students Ripple’s partnerships with these organizations will focus on a range of innovative initiatives throughout the year. This includes funding for thousands of classroom projects and teacher requests during Teacher Appreciation Week, supporting Teach For America’s Ignite tutoring program nationwide, and launching a national STEM Innovation Challenge.  Additionally, Ripple unveiled that the collaboration aims to enhance financial literacy among students and educators, equipping them with the skills necessary for success in a dynamic job market. “Teachers are going the extra mile for their students’ education, even spending hundreds—sometimes thousands—of dollars out-of-pocket for their classrooms,” said Alix Guerrier, CEO of DonorsChoose.  He praised Ripple’s initiative for providing direct support to teachers, enabling them to access materials that enhance learning experiences and set students on a path to a successful future. Related Reading: Analyst Says $2 XRP Price Is Low As It Still Isn’t “Activated” Aneesh Sohoni, CEO of Teach For America, expressed gratitude for Ripple’s transformative support. “This funding will expand our Ignite Tutoring Fellows program, drive innovation in our Reinvention Lab, and provide crucial financial assistance to thousands of new corps members during their teacher preparation. With Ripple’s partnership, we’re advancing our mission to ensure every child has access to an excellent education and the opportunity to thrive.” At the time of writing, XRP, Ripple’s related token, is trading at $2.13, down 8% for the week.

With the XRP price struggling to break out of consolidation, there is still a lot left for the altcoin to do before a definite uptrend can be registered. So far, it seems that the XRP price has already made its way through multiple support levels. However, a wave count is yet to begin that could send the altcoin soaring, according to an XRP analyst. This could mean that the cryptocurrency has more upside to come, especially as the market is expected to usher in an altcoin season. 5 Wave Counts Coming For XRP Price Crypto analyst Dark Defender took to X (formerly Twitter) to expound upon where the XRP price could be headed next. This comes after a retest of the $2.22 level and the eventual rejection from this level. The result of this is a bearish retest of the support at $2.13, a level that could be the defining moment for the bears. Nevertheless, bullish expectations are still rampant and Dark Defender has revealed how this could play out for the XRP price. Related Reading: Analyst Says $2 XRP Price Is Low As It Still Isn’t “Activated” As the altcoin is expected to move through five waves, the first of these waves is naturally expected to be bullish. The crypto analyst says the XRP price correction is now nearing its end and this could mean the start of this first wave. This wave, if it plays out correctly, could push the price to $2.8 in the first instance. On the next wave, the price is expected to correct sharply, triggering an almost 20% crash and pushing toward $2.3. However, with the third wave being more bullish than the first, another bounce would set XRP on a path above $4. In this instance, the XRP price would’ve reached a brand-new all-time high, with the expectation of beating its 2017 high of $3.8. Next is the fourth bearish wave and this would push the price back below $4 again, but not for long. Once the fifth and final wave is underway, it is expected to push the price even higher. For this wave, the crypto analyst sees the XRP price rising as high as $6.3 for the final leg-up. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Hit An Early Bottom? Why $0.35 Is Still Possible Interestingly, all of this is expected to happen in the short-term, which means sometime in 2025. The shared chart shows a completion of the five waves by December 2025, giving only seven months for all of this to play out and reach above $6. However, there is still the possibility of invalidation, especially as support for the first wave is expected at $1.88. A break below this level could trigger further downside and lead to the complete breakdown of the XRP price. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP price started a downside correction below the $2.20 zone. The price is now declining and might extend losses toward the $2.020 level. XRP price started a fresh decline below the $2.20 zone. The price is now trading below $2.180 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $2.1750 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might start another increase if there is a close above the $2.20 resistance. XRP Price Dips Further XRP price failed to continue higher above $2.25 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $2.20 and $2.180 support levels. The bears even pushed the price below the $2.120 support zone. A low was formed at $2.095 and the price is now consolidating losses. It is trading below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.2579 swing high to the $2.095 low. The price is now trading below $2.180 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $2.1750 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.1320 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.1750 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.2579 swing high to the $2.095 low. The next resistance is $2.1950. A clear move above the $2.1950 resistance might send the price toward the $2.220 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.250 resistance or even $2.30 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.320. More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $2.1750 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.10 level. The next major support is near the $2.080 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.080 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.050 support. The next major support sits near the $2.020 zone. 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.

Although the XRP price is hovering above $2, a crypto analyst contends that this level is still low. Comparing XRP’s current price action to its explosive rally in 2017, the analyst argues that the market has not recognized the full scope of the cryptocurrency’s evolving fundamentals.  XRP Price At $2.2 Is Still Undervalued  Pumpius, a crypto analyst on X (formerly Twitter), firmly believes that the XRP price is poised for a stronger rally, arguing that a $2.21 target remains significantly undervalued. The market expert’s analysis starkly compares the current market positioning with its historic rally in 2017.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Shatters XRP Price Bullishness, Predicts Massive Crash To This Support Level Back in 2017, the altcoin skyrocketed from a low price of $0.005 to a staggering all-time high of $3.84, marking its most historic price rally. At its peak, XRP briefly overtook Ethereum’s market cap, securing the position of the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world, just behind Bitcoin.  During this historic rally, the XRP price soared by an astonishing 64,000%, reflecting a monumental gain despite lacking real-world use cases, institutional backing, or regulatory clarity. According to Pumpius, this surge was purely driven by retail Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO), with no stablecoins, IPOs, or financial infrastructure supporting the cryptocurrency’s rapid ascent.  Fast-forward to today, and the landscape surrounding XRP has evolved significantly. Ripple Labs, an enterprise blockchain company and the largest holder of XRP, has launched its stablecoin, RLUSD, which indirectly strengthens XRP’s position in the digital currency space. The company has also secured prime brokerages and regulatory clarity from the US, expanding Ripple’s market reach and creating a stable environment for XRP’s growth.  With an IPO allegedly in the pipeline, the infrastructure supporting XRP is more robust than ever, far exceeding the conditions seen in 2017. However, despite these developments and milestones, the altcoin’s price has yet to revisit its former all-time high and continues to trade above $2. As a result, Pumpius claims that the cryptocurrency has still not been “activated,” suggesting that it has not fully realized its potential or experienced the level of growth expected of it.  Why This Time Could Be Different Unlike in 2017, the potential for XRP is no longer based on hype alone. Pumpius’s analysis estimates that if XRP were to repeat its historical 64,000% rally, starting from $2.21, its price could reach $1,414.40.  Related Reading: Is The XRP Price Rally Over At $2.22? New Developments Suggest Major Pump Is Coming While this target is purely speculative, the number underscores the massive upside that could follow if institutional capital and real-world adoption combine with retail momentum. Pumpius’s commentary also includes a conspiracy narrative, alleging that powerful, unknown entities have worked behind the scenes to suppress XRP’s rise. According to this theory, the analyst claims that the US SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple wasn’t just about compliance but a calculated move to delay adoption and shake out retail momentum. The underlying message is that XRP’s disruptive potential posed an early threat, allegedly leading to attempts to delay its growth and prevent widespread accumulation before institutions were ready to enter the market.

XRP Price Dips Again XRP price failed to remain stable above $2.25 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $2.220 and $2.20 support levels. It even tested the $2.1320 zone. A low was formed at $2.132 and the price is now consolidating losses.

XRP is navigating a challenging technical landscape as it continues to trade within a well-defined descending channel on the daily chart. This bearish structure has kept price action under pressure, with each attempt at recovery meeting resistance along the upper trendline. The pattern reflects a broader struggle between bulls attempting to defend key support zones and bears maintaining a firm grip on short-term momentum. As XRP’s price coils tighter within the confines of the channel, this suggests that a decisive move could be on the horizon. Whether the bulls can muster enough strength to flip the trend or the bears extend their dominance remains a crucial question that may define XRP’s next major move. Bears Keep Price Below Key Resistance Line Currently, XRP is showing signs of a potential bearish move after encountering strong resistance near the upper boundary of its descending channel on the daily chart. This upper trendline has acted as a formidable barrier, halting recent bullish attempts and reinforcing the overall downtrend structure. Related Reading: XRP Poised For Final Flush Before Breakout, Predicts Crypto Analyst The rejection at this level suggests that sellers are still dominating the market. If bearish momentum builds, the altcoin could revisit lower support levels within the channel, potentially retesting the lower boundary of the descending channel. Also, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is approaching a potential bullish crossover. This pending cross between the MACD line and the signal line has caught the attention of traders, especially as it forms near a key technical zone. A confirmed crossover might indicate a possible trend reversal, hinting at growing bullish strength after a period of downside pressure. However, given recent market volatility and past failed breakouts, skepticism remains. Previous attempts in similar setups have led to fakeouts, temporary moves that fizzled out quickly. As a result, confirmed price action and volume are advised before positioning too aggressively. If accompanied by a breakout from nearby resistance, this cross could mark the beginning of a stronger upward move. Otherwise, it risks becoming just another false alarm in a choppy market. Support Zone In Focus As XRP Tests Lower Boundary XRP finds itself at a critical juncture as it moves toward the lower boundary of its descending channel. This area has served as a reliable support level in recent weeks, preventing deeper losses and providing a foundation for minor rebounds. As price action moves toward this zone, traders are watching closely to see whether buyers can defend it once again or if the bears will force a decisive breakdown. Related Reading: XRP Price Is Eyeing Another Breakout To $4: Analyst Says Watch This Level A sustained hold above this support zone may pave the way for a short-term bounce, targeting mid-channel resistance levels. However, a clean break below this lower boundary may ignite downside pressure, exposing XRP to fresh multi-week lows such as $0.9353. With sentiment currently fragile, this support test might be pivotal in shaping XRP’s next trend. Featured image from YouTube, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP has started May with a choppy price action between the lower and upper ends of $2.195 and $2.25, respectively, in the past three days. Although XRP has spent the majority of the past two months correcting from the peak price of $3.3 in January, its 2-month candlestick is showing a strong green body, a sign that bulls are still in control in the higher timeframes despite the fluctuations on the lower timeframes. Related Reading: Code Wars: Cardano Claims The Crown From Ethereum In Core Development Interestingly, a precise signal that hasn’t appeared since XRP’s historic 2017 rally is back, and the same trigger that led to its 20x price explosion that year has just returned. Technical Pattern Shows Clear Breakout Structure On 2-Month Timeframe Technical analysis of XRP’s price action on the 2-month candlestick timeframe chart shows that the cryptocurrency is still trading in a bullish setup on a larger timeframe. This analysis, shared by crypto analyst JD on social media platform X, shows XRP breaking out from a long-term triangle pattern, which has held its price in consolidation since the 2018 peak. The structure formed by this triangle includes a flat resistance trendline at the top and a gradually rising trendline at the bottom. XRP’s price performance in late 2024 saw it break above the upper resistance trendline, much like it did in a similar setup in the first few months of 2017.  Notably, the XRP price broke above this trendline with conviction, which allowed it to reach a multi-year high of $3.3. However, the ensuing price action has been corrections upon corrections, with XRP now trading close to the $2 price level. Notwithstanding, the appearance of a bullish cross on the RSI means a bullish setup is still in action, with crypto analyst JD highlighting a potential 20x surge. Stochastic RSI Cross Above 80: The Same Spark From 2017 The appearance of a cross on the Stochastic RSI above the 80 level makes the current bullish setup more convincing. JD pointed out that the last time this crossover happened was in 2017, right before XRP recorded a 20x gain within three months. His chart illustrates this visually, showing a yellow highlight at the intersection point of the SRSI lines during that historic breakout. The same cross has now been confirmed on the 2-month chart. The SRSI cross occurs when the %K line crosses above or below the %D line within the Stochastic RSI indicator. In the case of XRP, the bullish signal of the cross is examined above the 80 threshold on the 2-month chart. The last time this happened in 2017, XRP went on a rally over four months from around $0.15 until it reached its current all-time high of $3.40.  Related Reading: Strategy’s $84 Billion Bitcoin Appetite: Michael Saylor Goes All In (Again) If a similar scenario were to unfold, this would put the target around $45. This may seem unrealistic, considering the inflows needed to reach this level. Nonetheless, a rally from the recent SRSI cross could send the XRP price to new all-time highs. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.2. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

XRP’s price movement has been highlighted by a rejection at $2.35, followed by a bounce at $2.15. This initial rejection follows a brief rally in the last week of April, which, interestingly, saw it break above a downward-sloping resistance trendline that has defined its structure since early January 2025. However, the rejection has since been followed by a retest of this trendline, but this pullback is seen as a setup for a potential breakout to levels above $4 rather than an outright rejection. Trendline Breakout In Focus With Swing Failure Pattern According to a technical analysis on the TradingView platform, XRP/USDT is now pressing against the zone of a significant descending trendline on the daily candlestick timeframe chart. This trendline, which has guided the broader bearish structure since January 2025, was previously responsible for notable price rejections in February and March. However, the most recent interaction with this trendline appears different, and XRP may be shifting from a pattern of lower highs to a breakout and retest formation. Related Reading: Has The Dogecoin Price Already Topped? Indicator That Predicted Previous Tops Show When The notable development here is the sequence leading to the breakout attempt. XRP first surged upward in late April and moved above the trendline. But instead of collapsing back into the previous range, the price briefly retraced and formed a higher low, which is an important structural change in the bullish version of a swing failure pattern (SFP). In this case, the failed low formed after the breakout hints at a reversal of the prior downtrend, and this reversal was validated when XRP closed on April 30. As shown in the chart below, this swing failure pattern has now flipped bullish with volume rising, an early sign of a rebound and rally. Adding to this outlook, the trendline has been touched multiple times over the past five months, making a confirmed close above it very important. The white arrow drawn on the chart indicates the anticipated direction of the XRP price if the bounce is sustained. $3.00 Resistance Is Important For Next Price Explosion A bullish daily close above this trendline would break the bearish structure that has defined XRP’s price since the start of the year. If successful, this would open the XRP price to an eventual run above $4 if everything goes right.  Related Reading: XRP Surpasses Ethereum In This Major Metric After Outperforming For 6 Months However, according to the analyst, the most immediate level to watch is the $3.00 resistance. A daily close above this round psychological level, combined with a volume spike, could open the way for XRP to surge toward the next key zones. These zones include $3.31, which coincides with the high on January 16, which is the next clear liquidity level. The next zone would be around its current all-time high. Beyond that, $4.6209 is the next longer-term breakout target. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.20. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

The XRP ETFs have become one of the most anticipated filings in the crypto space, with over 10 already crossing the desk of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). While expectations were that the regulator would approve XRP ETFs for trading at the start of May, the decision has been postponed once again. What this has done is increase expectations for these exchange-traded funds, with most of the market patiently waiting for when the green light will come. Why Investors Are Anticipating XRP ETFs There are numerous reasons for why investors are anticipating the XRP ETFs. Some of these include easier access to investing in the altcoin by institutions without them having to buy XRP directly, as well as increased demand as the cryptocurrency goes mainstream. All of this is expected to culminate in the rising value of the token and possibly be the catalyst that helps the XRP price break toward a new all-time high. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Poised For Breakout Amid Accumulation, Here’s The Target Dan Tapiero, the founder of 10T Holdings, a US-based equity firm, has also come forward to explain why the XRP ETFs are being anticipated. In an interview with CoinDesk, the founder starts out by lauding XRP’s resilience so far, as it has managed to survive over the years. The altcoin has been through low market participation due to the SEC’s lawsuit spanning over four years, and has managed to come out and maintain its position as one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies. Speaking about the crypto firm itself, Ripple, Tapiero explains that it has managed to turn itself into a conglomerate of assets in the ecosystem. Given this, the private equity founder believes that “there’s value there”, and as such, there are investors who are anticipating the launch of the XRP ETFs. Another reason why these XRP ETFs are being anticipated is because “it’s made in America now.” This refers to the inclusion  of XRP in Donald Trump’s strategic crypto reserve, alongside the likes of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano. Additionally, Ripple’s founder, Brad Garlinghouse, continues to work with President Donald Trump, feeding the narrative of XRP being “Made in America.” Pushing The XRP Price To New Highs The launch of the XRP ETFs is expected to be incredibly bullish for the XRP price, and the basis of this has been the reaction of BTC and ETH to the launch of the Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Before the launch of the Spot Bitcoin ETFs, the BTC price was trading below $50,000. However, in the months following the approval, Bitcoin rose by more than 100% to reach new all-time highs above $100,000. Related Reading: Ethereum CrossX Indicators Flashes Buy As Insitution Accumulates, Analyst Says Brace For $4,000 If the XRP ETFs are approved this year and follow this pattern, then it is expected that the XRP price will cross $4 this year, beating its 2017 high of $3.8. The influx of institutional funds would make an impact, especially given Ripple’s mission to make XRP the digital asset of choice for institutions and banks.

XRP price started a fresh increase above the $2.150 zone. The price is now consolidating and facing hurdles near the $2.250 level. XRP price started a fresh increase and climbed above the $2.20 zone. The price is now trading below $2.250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance near $2.2350 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might start another increase if there is a close above the $2.250 resistance. XRP Price Eyes Fresh Surge XRP price remained supported above $2.125 and started a decent increase, but it lagged Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to surpass the $2.150 and $2.20 resistance levels. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.359 swing high to the $2.1250 low. Besides, there was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance near $2.2350 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.250 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.30 level and 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.359 swing high to the $2.1250 low. The next resistance is $2.350. A clear move above the $2.350 resistance might send the price toward the $2.420 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.450 resistance or even $2.50 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.650. Dips Supported? If XRP fails to clear the $2.250 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.20 level. The next major support is near the $2.180 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.180 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.120 support. The next major support sits near the $2.050 zone. 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 – $2.20 and $2.120. Major Resistance Levels – $2.250 and $2.30.

The XRP price is preparing once again for an explosive move toward the $3. Aiming to break out from its consolidation phase, XRP’s price action suggests a massive rally could be right around the corner. The analyst who forecasted this bullish move remains broadly optimistic about XRP’s future outlook. However, he has also cautioned that a fakeout and subsequent price breakdown are possible.  XRP Price Gets Ready For Moonshot Toward $3 In a 1-hour chart analysis, ArShevelev, a crypto analyst on TradingView, disclosed that the XRP price has been forming a sequence of tight consolidation patterns. The colored triangular formations on the price chart highlight each consolidation pattern formed over the past few weeks. These triangles show that price action has been moving sideways, indicating indecision before a breakout.  Related Reading: XRP Price Ready To Reach $8 As Consolidation Breaks – Here’s The Timeline With XRP set to breakout from its present consolidation pattern, ArShevelev predicts the cryptocurrency could soon surge to the $3 mark, representing a 37% increase from its current market value. As of writing, the XRP price sits around the $2.19 mark after sharply rebounding from a critical support zone near $2.05. The $2.05 support zone is identified as a must-hold level, as a break above would maintain the altcoin’s present bullish structure. Moving forward, the TradingView chart shows an overarching bullish trend, with price action respecting XRP’s rising support line. A fresh consolidation triangle has formed, and if history is any indication, XRP could break upward from this pattern, targeting an initial price level of $2.36.  A bold “highway to moon” arrow on the price chart points to a successful breakout that could push the price toward a higher price level of $2.6 and perhaps even spark a broader rally to $3. In his analysts, ArShevelev highlighted a previous support zone at $2.21, where buyers initially stepped in, noting it as an important holding area for XRP to maintain.  Bullish Setup For The Altcoin: Breakout Or Fakeout? While XRP’s technical setup and potential breakout from consolidation look promising, ArShevelev has advised caution as the market can be unpredictable. Cryptocurrencies are known for their volatility, and failed breakouts are not uncommon, especially when the price hovers just below resistance for too long. Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes Recovery To $3 As Analyst Reveals How High The Price Would Be In Altcoin Season If XRP fails to break above the $2.29 resistance level convincingly, the analyst projects a sharp breakdown to the $2.21 support zone. Further pullback here could open the doors for an even larger price drop to the important support, some at $2.05. This potential price decline is described as a “fakeout,” as XRP gives the illusion of embarking on a rally but instead sharply reverses.  Thus, while technical indicators favor an upside breakout in the XRP price, the TradingView analyst still questions whether it could lead to a breakout to new highs or ultimately result in a fakeout.  Featured image from Medium, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicted a macro channel breakout that could be imminent for the XRP. The analyst indicated that the altcoin could reach double digits if this breakout plays out as expected.  XRP Price Eyes Rally To $55 With Potential Macro Channel Breakout In an X post, Egrag Crypto raised the possibility of a macro channel breakout for the XRP price and stated that the measured move points to a potential high of $55.

New Developments Suggest Major Pump Is Coming This ultra-bullish prediction came as the analyst revealed that the XRP price is currently in candle number 5. He remarked that if history is any guide, then market participants should be looking at a mega monthly candle. If XRP were to follow the same pattern, the analyst affirmed that the target of $17 is definitely in play.  In another X post, Egrag Crypto again predicted that the XRP price could at least reach $27 in this market cycle. He stated that he is becoming increasingly convinced that XRP is mirroring the 2017 bull run, although the timing may be either delayed or accelerated. The analyst predicted that the altcoin would reach double digits by the end of Wave 3 this summer.  Meanwhile, he believes Wave 4 will unfold over the next three years, followed by a bear market, and then the XRP price will reach triple digits in the next bull run. Egrag Crypto is confident that XRP could reach as high as $120 when that time comes. In the meantime, XRP is still battling to break above key resistance levels, which could pave the way for a new all-time high (ATH).  A Bull Pennant Forming On Weekly Chart In an X post, crypto analyst XRPunkie drew attention to a bull pennant that was forming for the XRP price on the weekly chart. He stated that this bullish pattern is ready for a breakout once XRP completes the final pullback to between $1.80 and $2. The analyst added that the technical target of this bull pennant is between $13 and $14. XRPunkie warned that there will be more pullbacks along the way to $14, so he advised that investors look to secure profits.  Related Reading: Analyst Sets XRP Price Target At $6.5, These Dates Are Key Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has indicated that the short-term target for the XRP price is between $2.70 and $2.90.

Most especially among crypto analysts, who continue to predict that the altcoin is set for great things and could reach double-digits this bull cycle. XRP Price Still On Track For Mega Candle Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has been very vocal on X (formerly Twitter) about the bullishness of XRP. The analyst has become known for calling the XRP price increase for months before the impressive 2024 rally. Even as that rally has cooled off and the altcoin is now struggling at support, the crypto analyst has not deviated. Rather, he continues to call out that the cryptocurrency is still quite bullish, which he expects to hit double-digits at some point. Related Reading: CMT-Verified Analyst Reveals When To Buy Bitcoin As Heikin Ashi Candle Turns Bearish In a recent post, the crypto analyst explained that the XRP price is still on track to move upward. In what he calls the ‘blue ocean’, Egrag Crypto points out that investors are now “swimming with sharks”. In this case, XRP is being gobbled up at a rapid pace, which could set it on a path to see rapid recoveries. With the positive sentiment rising, the crypto analyst sees the XRP price exploding soon. He explains that a mega green candle is on the way, and this could drive the price finally above double-digits. In this blue ocean, Egrag Crypto sets three price targets. The first is $9.5, and then moving further into $17. Last but not least is the $27 target, something that the crypto analyst has continuously predicted for over a year now. Currently, the XRP price is still trading just above the $2 support, so this means that it has a long way to go before it hits the analyst’s targets. The expectation of XRP ETFs being launched has also been put forward by many in the community as a potential factor that could trigger a rise in the XRP price.

Nevertheless, the fund is expected to launch its XRP ETFs in the short to medium term, and this is expected to be a catalyst for an XRP price increase. c

Renowned crypto influencer “DustyBC” has caused controversy after stating that owning only XRP might be sufficient for investors to “make it” financially. The bold assertion comes at a time when XRP trades below its all-time high, but still captures the attention of both fans and critics throughout the market. Related Reading: XRP Headed For $1,000 – CryptoGuard Exec Drops Bold Prediction Single-Asset Strategy Raises Eyebrows Based on reports, DustyBC’s comment implies that investors can achieve significant wealth by adopting an XRP-only investment strategy. The perception has gained traction with some supporters who feel that “one strong hand beats a hundred weak plays.” The sentiment is indicative of increased interest in focused investment strategies over diversified portfolio strategies. I seriously think only holding $XRP is enough to make it.. — DustyBC Crypto (@TheDustyBC) April 27, 2025 The token, which runs Ripple’s payments network, already has a valuation of several billion dollars. A few market commentators have made claims published that the XRP currency may see targets of as much as $10,000 per token. Those are wild claims, but they have driven some enthusiasm among certain investors. Market Size Claims Support Bull Case Backers cite the enormous payment market as the basis for their optimism. The international payments space is said to be valued at multi-trillion dollars, with some estimates placing the industry at the $300 trillion mark by the end of this decade. According to these figures, XRP supporters believe that taking just 1% of this market would have a dramatic effect on the token’s price. This has caused some analysts to caution that not holding at least 1,000 XRP tokens demonstrates bad financial sense. Ripple’s ongoing business expansion, partnerships and acquisitions have been listed as further causes for optimism. These actions continue to provide talking points for those still optimistic about XRP’s potential future. Critics Question Growth Potential Not all people are so keen on XRP as a vehicle to get rich. X user Shero reacted to DustyBC’s remarks by saying XRP’s possible growth is only seven to 10 times its current value – a gain that some critics don’t view as “life-changing.” There’s not big ROI atm.. max is 7-10x — Shero (@shero12269724) April 27, 2025 Related Reading: Justin Sun Bets Big On JUST Token – Here’s Why He Sees 100x Potential These more conservative voices highlight XRP’s current valuation of over $133 billion as a constraint on future growth. They propose that such a high market cap renders runaway price growth mathematical overreach, hurting investors with small positions who believe in revolutionary wealth. On Balance & Risks While some XRP advocates get their juices flowing, others within the crypto community are placing a high premium on risk mitigation. They claim that having several solid assets ensures greater security compared to focusing on one coin. Featured image from Gemini Imagen, chart from TradingView

Crypto analyst Crypto Paradise has shattered hopes of an upward trend for the XRP price in the short term. This came following his prediction that the altcoin could witness a massive crash to a major support level.  Analyst Predicts XRP Price Crash To $1.6 In a TradingView post, Crypto Paradise predicted that the XRP price could crash to the support level at $1.6. This came as he suggested that a huge bearish trap could be unfolding right now for XRP. This means that the altcoin will simply correct to shake out the bears and then witness a bullish reversal.  Related Reading: XRP Price Follows Bitcoin To Critical Levels, Why $2.24 Is Important However, in the short term, the analyst warned that the XRP price is flashing serious warning signs. He highlighted the formation of a rising wedge pattern, which increases the probability of a bearish move. Crypto Paradise also noted that while analyzing the broader market structure, the recent upward trend looks to be a retracement within the larger bearish trend. As such, the probability of a decline being imminent is still very high.  He claimed that if the XRP price bounces, grabs liquidity, and starts forming clear bearish patterns from the resistance area between $2.4 and $2.5, it could set up an excellent opportunity with a high risk-to-reward (RR) ratio for shorts. However, this bearish thesis will be invalidated if the price breaks out and closes a candle clearly above the resistance zone.  If that happens, Crypto Paradise believes it would be much smarter to stay patient and wait for a more reliable XRP price action setup before considering new trades. The analyst also urged market participants to stay disciplined, patient, and smart. He added that it is best to stick to the plan and never rush decisions under emotional pressure.  A Bullish Prediction For The Altcoin In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price. He stated that the altcoin looks to be breaking out of an inverse head and shoulders pattern, with a potential upside target between $2.70 and $2.90. A rally to this $2.90 target could pave the way for another rally to a new ATH for the altcoin.  Related Reading: Here’s What Happens If The XRP Price Closes Out This Week Above $2.25 Crypto analyst Joe also asserted that the XRP price looks bullish.

In line with this, the analyst remarked that momentum is building for a strong move up.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.28, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
