THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Crypto analyst Dark Defender has provided an update on his XRP price wave structure. He revealed that the altcoin is now in wave 4 and highlighted the targets and support levels that market participants should watch out for at the altcoin’s current price level.  Wave 4 For The XRP Price In Progress In an X post, Dark Defender stated that wave 4 is in progress for the XRP price. He added that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also reflects the 4th wave consolidation. The analyst had also stated that the altcoin has completed Waves 1, 2, and 3. His accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could again retest the $3 support level as part of a corrective move to the downside.  Related Reading: XRP Won’t See Devastating Pullback Because ‘The Train Has Left The Station’ A successful hold above this support level, $3.07 specifically, is expected to trigger the next impulsive move to the upside for the XRP price. Dark Defender predicts that the altcoin could rally to as high as $5.8563 on this Wave 5 impulsive move. He added that the targets are $3.61, the current all-time high (ATH), and then $5.85, which would mark a new ATH for XRP.  Crypto analyst Javon Marks had also recently predicted that the XRP price could soon rally to a new ATH. He noted that the altcoin is holding well, far above the $2.47 support level, meaning that the next target is $4.804. The analyst added that a break above this $4.804 level could spark another rally to $7.138.  A rally to $7.138 will represent a surge of 128.78% from the current XRP price level. It is worth noting that the altcoin is already up over 35% year-to-date (YTD), rising to the third largest crypto by market cap in the process.  All Eyes On XRP’s Monthly Close In an X post, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto remarked that the focus is on the XRP price staying above $3.03 for the monthly close. He noted that a close above this level would mark the first-ever historical candle close above this level in XRP’s journey. As such, he declared that market participants could soon witness history in the making.  Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst If the XRP price achieves the monthly close above $3.03, Egrag Crypto stated that a rally to the Chasm at $8.9 is the minimum target for the altcoin in this market cycle. He also suggested that XRP could surpass this target and declared that this is where the “real fun” starts. His accompanying chart showed that a rally to as high as $32 was also on the cards.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3.14, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP price started a downside correction below the $3.120 zone. The price is now attempting a recovery and might aim for a move above the $3.1650 level. XRP price is attempting to start a fresh increase from the $3.00 zone. The price is now trading below $3.180 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3.150 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start another increase if it stays above the $3.00 zone. XRP Price Eyes Upside Break XRP price started a fresh decline below the $3.20 zone, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $3.120 and $3.080 support levels. The bears even pushed the price below the $3.020 support zone. Finally, the bulls appeared near the $3.00 level. A low was formed at $2.999 and the price is now attempting a recovery wave. There was a move above the $3.050 and $3.080 levels. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.330 swing high to the $2.999 low. The price is now trading below $3.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3.150 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.150 level. The first major resistance is near the $3.1650 level. A clear move above the $3.1650 resistance might send the price toward the $3.20 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.250 resistance or even $3.30 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near the $3.350 zone. Another Drop? If XRP fails to clear the $3.1650 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3.080 level. The next major support is near the $3.00 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $3.00 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.920 support. The next major support sits near the $2.850 zone where the bulls might take a stand. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $3.080 and $3.00. Major Resistance Levels – $3.1650 and $3.20.

The XRP price is gaining traction once again as bullish signals strengthen across the charts. Following a decisive move above a critical support level, the cryptocurrency is now positioned for a potential upward move. A new technical analysis suggests that XRP could climb over 44%, targeting $4.804 in the near term—but only if the support level remains intact.  XRP Price To Pump 44% If Support Holds Despite experiencing a pullback these past few days, the XRP price continues to show strong bullish momentum as it aims for new highs. In a recent analysis on X social media, crypto market expert Javon Marks forecasted that XRP may be on the brink of a significant price breakout. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Double Top, This Structure Says A Crash Is Coming According to his price chart, the cryptocurrency is trading significantly above $2.47, a level that has been confirmed as a key support zone. Marks’ chart shows that this support level was previously a resistance and now serves as a foundation for the next potential leg higher.  The expert’s analysis indicates that as long as XRP continues to hold above the support level, the next upward target remains firmly set at $4.804. This level represents a 44% price increase from its current price of $3.12. Notably, the technical setup presented by the analyst includes a consistent trend of higher lows, reinforcing the potential for a larger breakout to unfold.  Mark’s chart also outlines an extended target beyond $4.804. If XRP manages to reach and break above this initial level, the analyst projects a potential surge toward $7.138, reflecting an impressive 128.7% increase from current prices. Notably, a possible move above $4 would already mark a new all-time high for the third-largest cryptocurrency—but breaking past $7 would represent a historic rally, indicating a strong continuation of the current bullish sequence.  XRP Teeters At $3 After Rejection From Resistance XRP is currently at a critical turning point as price action rejected sharply from the $3.66 resistance level, sliding nearly 11% to test the $3.00 support zone. Based on a technical analysis by crypto expert Gael Gallot, this rejection follows a breakout attempt from a long-form symmetrical triangle stretching back to February.  Related Reading: XRP Price Showing Quiet Strength As Next Breakout Level Lies At $4.65 XRP’s daily chart shows its price forming a large ascending triangle pattern, though the recent rejection at the top of the trendline hints at an incoming upward move. Notably, Gallot predicts that a confirmed breakout and retest above $3.3 could ignite the next leg up, with XRP possibly revisiting the $3.66 zone and beyond.  The analyst calls this phase a “Pullback or Setup,” highlighting a mix of signals, including a sharp 44% decline in active XRP wallets as whales accumulate over 280 million tokens even as Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen reportedly moved 50 million XRP. Short-term sentiment also appears mixed, with US traders staying cautious while Asian markets show signs of steady accumulation. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

After a relatively quiet week for altcoins, XRP, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu received a fresh wave of attention thanks to a major update from Gemini. The US-based crypto exchange announced that it is now officially allowing these three tokens, as well as Bitcoin Cash and Solana, as cross-collateral assets for its derivatives platform.  Major Boost For XRP, Dogecoin, And Shiba Inu Gemini’s decision allows XRP, DOGE, and SHIB holders to use their tokens as collateral for GUSD-settled perpetual contracts, a feature that was previously limited to BTC, ETH, USDT, and Gemini stablecoin GUSD. All five newly supported tokens come with varying collateral “haircuts,” meaning only a portion of their value is counted toward margin requirements. XRP and Solana each have a 15% haircut, while Dogecoin and Shiba Inu face a more severe 30% haircut due to their higher volatility profiles. Related Reading: XRP Price Set To Teleport As Major Financial Players Tap In — Opportunity Window Closing Fast Gemini has made it easier for users to trade derivatives using a broader range of holdings by bringing these newer assets into the fold. This move not only deepens the utility of these cryptocurrencies but also opens up new use cases for traders who want to leverage their holdings in perpetual contracts without converting to stablecoins. It’s a particularly meaningful step for XRP, which has been working to strengthen its institutional appeal and global payments utility. The move is also beneficial for meme coins Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which are seeing increasing demand outside of the meme coin niche. This expansion also shows a larger trend in crypto derivatives. Many crypto exchanges, especially those in the US, are increasingly opening their doors to altcoins. It is also a drastic turnaround from the state of the crypto market some years back.  For nearly three years, XRP was delisted or unavailable on most US-based trading platforms due to the legal battle between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission. It wasn’t until July 2023, following Judge Analisa Torres’s partial ruling that XRP was not a security when sold on exchanges, that the token began to make its return to major US platforms, including Gemini. Price Action Trending Downwards At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $3.13, a 1.4% decline from the previous day but still holding within its recent range between $3.06 and $3.18. Dogecoin is trading at $0.2226, with modest intraday movement after failing to sustain its push above $0.23. The king of meme coins is down by 3.2% and 14.2% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Breaks Above $0.26 In Weekend Rally As Pundit Predicts 2,600% Surge Shiba Inu, meanwhile, is trading at $0.000013, also down by about 4% in the past 24 hours and over 13% in the past seven days. Nonetheless, many analysts still maintain a bullish long-term outlook for these cryptocurrencies. Forecast models project that Dogecoin could climb to $1 in the current bull cycle, while SHIB is expected to reach at least $0.000045. XRP’s trajectory is even more ambitious among many crypto analysts, with price targets ranging from $9 to $10 if adoption momentum continues and pending US Spot ETF applications finally receive approval from the SEC.

XRP is holding strong above the key $3 level, keeping its bullish breakout intact. With Wave 4 consolidation underway, a push into Wave 5 could propel the price toward $6 and beyond. Wave Structure Confirmed: XRP Completes Wave 3, Wave 4 Consolidation Underway In an X post, Dark Defender recalled an earlier post shared on July 6, where he outlined a weekly wave structure for XRP with an initial target of $3.61. Building on that analysis, he has now presented the daily chart of the same wave structure, offering a closer look at XRP’s ongoing price action within the broader Elliott Wave framework. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Warns XRP Investors Amid Market Retrace According to Dark Defender, XRP has already completed Wave 1, Wave 2, and Wave 3 of the current cycle. The price is now in Wave 4, which appears to be a period of consolidation. This consolidation phase is also reflected in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which signals that the market is taking a breather before the next potential leg higher. Looking ahead, Dark Defender projects the Wave 5 target to be approximately $5.8563, noting that this is not financial advice (NFA). He maintains his initial target of $3.61 while adding $5.85 as a potential high for this next impulsive move. These targets are based on the continuation of the current wave structure, assuming support levels hold. Key support for XRP is identified around $3.07. As long as XRP maintains this support and progresses through Wave 4, the bullish wave setup remains valid, with eyes firmly on a breakout toward the $5.85 mark. The Altcoin Eyes First Ever Monthly Close Above $3 Sonia S., in her latest post on X, pointed out that XRP is poised to achieve a historic milestone by closing the month above $3 for the first time ever. This potential monthly close marks a major bullish development and could signal the start of a new phase in XRP’s long-term price movement. Related Reading: XRP Won’t See Devastating Pullback Because ‘The Train Has Left The Station’ She identified a crucial breakout zone between $1.97 and $3.01, which XRP has successfully cleared. With this breakout confirmed, Sonia highlighted the next key psychological targets at $4.50 and $6.00+ levels that could attract significant attention from both traders and investors. As long as XRP maintains its position above $3 on the monthly chart, Sonia noted that price discovery becomes possible, given the lack of historical resistance beyond this level. However, Sonia also warned that if XRP fails to hold above $3 and closes back below this level, the breakout would be invalidated. Such a move could indicate a false breakout and potentially lead to a pullback, making the $3 level a crucial line for the bulls. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

On-chain data shows old XRP tokens have been moving back into circulation recently, a potential sign that long-term holders have been taking profits. XRP Mean Dollar Invested Age Has Seen A Drop Recently According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the XRP network has seen signs of movement from veteran hands. Two key metrics highlight this trend: Mean Dollar Invested Age and Age Consumed. The first of these, the Mean Dollar Invested Age, keeps track of the average age (in days) of every dollar invested into the cryptocurrency. The ‘age’ of a coin or the USD value invested in it is tracked from the point of the coin’s last transaction. Related Reading: Ethereum Exchange Reserve Plummets: Over 1 Million ETH Withdrawn For example, if a coin remains dormant for 10 days, it accumulates 10 coin days. If the price at the time of its last movement was $2, then it’s carrying 20 coin-dollar days. The Mean Dollar Invested Age per dollar in this case is, therefore, 10 coin-dollar days. Now, what happens when a coin that has been dormant for some period is finally moved? Both the coin days and coin-dollar days associated to it reset back to zero. In other words, its age is ‘consumed.’ The second indicator of relevance here, the Age Consumed, keeps track of the coin days being destroyed in this manner across the network every day. Below is a chart that shows how the Mean Dollar Invested Age and Age Consumed have changed for XRP over the past year. As is visible in the graph, the XRP Mean Dollar Invested Age has witnessed a decline during the last few weeks, indicating that the average dollar invested into the asset is becoming younger. The indicator’s value has now come down to 593 days, which is 91 days lower compared to one month ago. The Age Consumed has seen some notable spikes alongside this decline, which means that long-term holders have been making moves. The long-term holders refer to the HODLers of the market, who hold for long periods with strong conviction and, in the process, amass a large number of coin days. When these diamond hands finally make moves, the Age Consumed tends to register spikes as large-scale coin days destruction accompanies them. From the chart, it’s apparent that most of the recent large spikes came just as XRP hit its price top. This could be a potential sign that the long-term holders were cashing in on the rally. Related Reading: Bitcoin Remains Flat—And The SSR Ratio Might Explain Why Since then, the cryptocurrency has plunged. It now remains to be seen whether the Age Consumed would continue to spike in the near future or if the HODLers are done for now.

The XRP price broke out of an almost seven-year downtrend in 2024 and is now trading above $3, sparking renewed optimism across the market. With its steadily growing price, crypto analyst JackTheRippler claims that XRP is unlikely to face any major pullback like in the past, believing that the altcoin has entered a new bullish phase—and the “train has left the station.” XRP Unlikely To Revisit Previous Lows In a bold assertion that challenges typical post-rally pullback expectations, JackTheRippler has doubled down on his earlier outlook for XRP, claiming that a dramatic price retracement is no longer on the table. According to a price chart shared via X social media alongside his analysis, XRP has successfully broken out of a multi-month descending triangle pattern and surged beyond key resistance levels, skyrocketing above $3.6 before consolidating around $3.19.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Warns XRP Investors Amid Market Retrace The chart reveals that XRP maintained strong horizontal support near the $1.77 region for several months, forming the base of the triangle. Despite multiple attempts to breach this level during its consolidation phase, the token held firm. The recent breakout in late July above $3.6 marked a significant shift in XRP’s structure, invalidating the downward trendline that had capped price action since December 2024.  In his post, JackTheRippler emphasized that, unlike in previous cycles, XRP is unlikely to return to earlier lows. The analyst declared that “the train has left the station,” implying that the window to buy at significantly lower levels has decisively closed due to a  price floor increase.  With XRP now trading above $3.3, the main question is whether this level will establish itself as firm support and potentially propel it to new levels. Based on the cryptocurrency’s current technical setup and JackTheRipple’s confident projection, the path forward for XRP suggests continued upward momentum rather than a reversal.  Analyst Unveils XRP Next Bullish Targets A recent chart analysis shared by crypto analyst Dark Defender suggests that XRP’s long-standing cooling period may be finally coming to an end. According to the pattern highlighted on the chart, the cryptocurrency appears to be mirroring its 2017 setup—a formation that led to an explosive breakout. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Double Top, This Structure Says A Crash Is Coming With XRP now consolidating above $3.3, Dark Defender argues that this phase resembles a stabilization period that preceded the previous bull run, marked by a breakout from a descending wedge and rapid vertical gains. Based on the Elliott Wave Theory, the analyst has set XRP’s next bullish targets for $13.13, $18.22, and $36.76.  According to Dark Defender, the cryptocurrency’s price surge observed in June and July confirms its breakout structure, positioning August as a potentially explosive month for the asset. Chart comparisons between the 2017 and 2025 cycles highlight striking similarities, each featuring a sharp rally, a descending consolidation, and a breakout that historically led to parabolic gains.

Ripple’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Brad Garlinghouse, has issued a serious warning to XRP investors amid a surge in scam activity targeting investors across social media platforms like YouTube. The alert follows increasing reports of fraudulent accounts impersonating Ripple and its executives, with the aim of tricking users into sending their XRP.    Ripple Warns Investors Of Rising XRP Scams On July 23, Garlinghouse took to X social media to raise the alarm on a sharp rise in XRP scams, urging investors and community members to stay alert. According to the Ripple CEO, scammers are capitalizing on market momentum and community excitement to ramp up impersonation schemes, particularly targeting unsuspecting XRP holders. Related Reading: How Ripple Is Taking On SWIFT To Grab 14% Market Share As XRP Price Surges One of the most notable developments flagged by Garlinghouse is a recent surge in fraudulent activity on YouTube, where scammers have taken over existing channels, rebranded them to resemble recognized Ripple accounts, and begun promoting misleading content that impersonates the crypto company and its executives. In its official X account, the Ripple team stressed that these YouTube accounts are legitimate and do not belong to the crypto firm, despite appearing convincing. In many cases, the usernames have been altered to mimic the company’s official handles, often making it difficult for unsuspecting users to identify the deception. These scam videos frequently promise giveaways, rewards, or investment multipliers, usually asking users and investors to send XRP in exchange for a larger return. Garlinghouse has emphasized that neither he nor Ripple will ever request XRP from anyone under any circumstances.  To combat the growing threat of skyrocketing crypto scams, Ripple is actively and aggressively reporting these fraudulent accounts and encouraging its community to do the same. The company has reiterated that its official channels remain the only trusted sources of communication and provides a direct reminder to always verify account handles and links before engaging. Notably, Garlinghouse concluded his post with an important reminder to stay vigilant against avoidable losses. He warned that “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”  Ripple Alert Highlights Broader Threat Amid Market Recovery Beyond the immediate focus on the YouTube impersonation scams, Garlinghouse’s report touches on a broader trend of escalating crypto fraud that tends to spike during periods of market recovery or growing optimism. This pattern, described by the Ripple CEO as “like clockwork,” suggests that malicious actors closely monitor community sentiment and time their campaigns to exploit emotional and financial excitement.

In a broader context, the rise in XRP scams has coincided with the recent surge in the altcoin’s price to above $3.6.

As the XRP price inches closer to ATH levels and gains more momentum, bad actors are leveraging this wave of optimism to cast a wider net, targeting investors through sophisticated scams and fraudulent schemes.

Renowned market expert with X username CasiTrades has shared an interestingly bullish insight on the XRP market. Notably, this price forecast comes following a broader crypto market correction in the past week, during which XRP has registered a 6.74% price decline. XRP Bulls Eye Return To ATH After $3 Retest In an X post on July 25, CasiTrades shows that XRP is on the brink of a major price surge based on the indications of the Elliot Wave Theory – a technical framework that proposes that price movements occur in five repetitive waves. Amidst the price decline in the last week, XRP failed to hold above the critical $3.21 price level, forcing a retrace to retest the major $3.00 support zone, resulting in a slight price bounce. Despite this bearish event, the analyst notes encouragingly that the altcoin did not form a new price low, suggesting the larger bullish structure remains intact. Related Reading: XRP To $10? Basketball Legend’s Poll Puts Crypto On Center Court CasiTrades explains that XRP’s latest retracement reached a deep 0.854 Fibonacci level, a classic reversal zone for second waves in a bullish five-wave structure. This deep pullback, combined with the strong bounce off $3.00, signifies the potential bottom of Wave 2. If bulls can hold the price above this support, this sets the stage for the beginning of Wave 3, the strongest and most explosive leg in the Elliott Wave Theory.   For context, the Elliot wave theory begins with an initial price rise, i.e, Wave 1, followed by Wave 2, a pullback that doesn’t breach the starting point. Wave 3 is usually the strongest and longest, driven by increased participation and bullish momentum. Meanwhile, Wave 4 brings another correction, often less severe than Wave 2, before Wave 5 pushes prices to a final high. For Wave 3 to commence in the present market, CasiTrades states the next price target lies at the $3.21 region, which represents a crucial resistance. If XRP produces a sustained breakout above this price barrier, it validates the proposed bullish scenario. In this case, the analyst identifies an immediate price target of $3.82, which aligns with the 2.618 Fibonacci extension of the prior move. Interestingly, this price zone also represents XRP’s all-time high on certain markets. This confluence strengthens confidence in the bullish scenario,  especially considering that if the Elliott Wave structure plays out fully, a Wave 5 rally could propel the altcoin into uncharted price territory.

Crypto analyst Steph has issued a warning to XRP investors regarding the current price action. He alluded to a multi-year resistance that the altcoin has struggled to break, noting that this should be the major focus as it eyes new highs.  XRP Needs to Break Above the $3.6 Resistance In an X post, Steph shared a video in which he analysed the XRP monthly chart, dating back to the 2020 bull run. He highlighted an upward-sloping trendline for the altcoin, which showed that the altcoin has faced rejection at around the $3.6 level twice now. The first was in January of this year, when the altcoin surged to a yearly high.  Related Reading: Expect A “Biblical Move” Off This Formation; Analyst Tells XRP Investors Meanwhile, the second has occurred again following the XRP’s latest rally to a new all-time high (ATH) around this $3.6 resistance. Steph declared that the altcoin needs to break above this multi-year trendline resistance, as it risks falling into “an ugly period of downward momentum” if it can’t flip this level into support.  However, if XRP breaks above this resistance, Steph predicts that it could record a parabolic rally, which would send its price into double digits. The crypto analyst is more confident that the altcoin will break this resistance, noting that other bullish patterns support sustained bullish momentum.  In the short term, Steph predicts that XRP could rally to as high as $4.42. He highlighted a double bottom breakout on the 4-day chart, which is still in play for the altcoin. He assured that XRP could still maintain this upward momentum despite the current pullback in the broader crypto market.  However, if this bearish trend in the crypto market sustains for a while, he warned that the $3 support level is the one that XRP needs to stay above to avoid losing its bullish structure. The analyst expects a lot of buying pressure if the altcoin were to drop to this support level.  What Next As The Altcoin Retests $3 In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades noted that XRP was unable to hold the $3.21 resistance and has now fallen back to test the $3 support. She stated that the altcoin appears to have completed a subwave wave 2 of a new trend, reaching a deep .854 retrace. If this new low holds as support, then she suggested that it could kickstart a large impulse to the upside.  Related Reading: XRP Is About To Break 8-Year Resistance Against Bitcoin Ahead Of Spot ETF Approval CasiTrades predicts that XRP could reach new highs if volume begins to rise and the price starts moving back above the $3.21 resistance. She noted that the first wave 3 sits near $3.82, which is the 2.618 Fibonacci extension. Her accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could reach $3.8 on this next run-up.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3.16, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP price rally has already seen it reclaim the $3.6 level once this year before slowing back down again. This slowdown has raised concerns of a possible end to the rally. But the formation of a Cup and Saucer Pattern actually tells a different story. Since this pattern is yet to be completely fulfilled, there is the possibility that the XRP price rally has only entered a possible slowdown and will continue to rise from here. Why The XRP Price Rally Is Still In Motion Crypto analyst Cryptinsightuk took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the formation of a Cup and Saucer pattern on the XRP price pattern. This comes after double rejection from the $3.65 level, which is now acting as the major resistance to the altcoin’s continuation of the rally. However, while this double rejection is concerning, the emergence of the Cup and Saucer pattern suggests a sustained bullish trend. Related Reading: XRP Is About To Break 8-Year Resistance Against Bitcoin Ahead Of Spot ETF Approval Cryptoinsightuk explains that despite the rejections, the XRP price has continued to put in higher lows. Naturally, this is bullish for the price regardless of where the resistance lies. Going by the chart as well, it is obvious that there is still a way to go before the pattern plays out completely and suggests a decline in the price. From here, the analyst expects that the XRP price will indeed continue to rise. One of the major reasons that this remains bullish is the fact that this formation is coming above previous range highs. Therefore, Cryptoinsightuk explains that it is more likely a continuation pattern leading to a breakout than it is to lead to a breakdown in price. If the Cup and Saucer pattern does hold up and continue as expected, then the next target would be to retest and break the resistance that has mounted at $3.65. Once this resistance breaks, then a continuation of the rally would put XRP back on the path toward new all-time highs above $3.8. Bullish Developments Spark Hope Not only are the charts showing bullish momentum for the XRP price, but other market developments have also put the altcoin on a positive path. The latest of these is the SEC approval of the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund  earlier in the week, which includes XRP as one of the cryptocurrencies held by the fund. Although the SEC eventually stayed the decision and is now under review. Related Reading: Ethereum Price On The Verge: Banks And State Buy To Push ETH Above $5,500?

The cryptocurrency derivatives market has suffered heavy liquidations as altcoins like XRP (XRP) and Dogecoin (DOGE) have plummeted. Crypto Has Seen Almost $1 Billion In Liquidations During The Past Day According to data from CoinGlass, the cryptocurrency derivatives sector has been shaken up by a wave of liquidations in the last 24 hours. “Liquidation” here refers to the forceful closure that any open contract undergoes when its losses exceed a certain percentage (as defined by the platform). Related Reading: When Will Ethereum Turn Overheated? Report Says Watch This Level Below is a table that breaks down the numbers related to the latest liquidations in the digital assets market: As displayed, the cryptocurrency sector has seen a whopping $967 million in derivatives contract liquidations over the past day. Out of these, an overwhelming majority of the positions involved were long ones. More specifically, users betting on a bullish outcome took a beating of around $829 million. These mass liquidations have come as assets across the market have witnessed some degree of bearish price action. The likes of XRP and Dogecoin are currently down about 10%. Interestingly, Bitcoin (BTC) hasn’t been affected by this latest sector-wide downturn, suggesting that the decline could be a result of investors rotating capital out of altcoins. Given BTC’s relatively flat action, it’s not surprising to see that the number one cryptocurrency hasn’t been leading in liquidations this time around. From the above heatmap, it’s visible that Ethereum (ETH) has topped the market with a derivatives flush of almost $200 million, while XRP has come second with liquidations of $115 million. Despite the fact that Bitcoin hasn’t actually moved much in the past day, users have still managed to rake up $84 million in liquidations. Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin wrap up the top 5 with figures sitting at $58 million and $56 million, respectively. The mass liquidation event from the past day may be a product of overheated conditions that had already been brewing in the sector. As on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has revealed in its latest weekly report, the Open Interest across the top altcoins has seen a significant increase since the start of July. The “Open Interest” here refers to an indicator that keeps track of the total amount of futures positions related to an asset that are currently open on all centralized exchanges. As shown in the chart, the metric’s combined value for Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin sat at $26 billion at the start of the month, but it has now grown to $44 billion.

XRP has entered a period of quiet movement following its rally last week that pushed its price to new all-time highs. Particularly, XRP’s price has hovered between $3.40 and $3.60 over the past few days. This structure has caught the attention of crypto analyst CasiTrades, who shared her detailed outlook on the social media platform X. Her accompanying chart breaks down the ongoing setup and shows the significance of the $3.40 support alongside the bullish implications of XRP’s behavior just beneath the resistance zone. Former Resistance Now Support CasiTrades points to a classic bullish flip taking place in XRP’s chart pattern on the 1-hour candlestick timeframe. A key trendline, which had previously served as overhead resistance, has now been flipped and is acting as support. This shift has played out with precision, as price has tested the trendline three times and each bounce affirms that buyers are stepping in with confidence. According to her analysis, this kind of structural transition might be subtle, but momentum is quietly building up for XRP’s next price move. Related Reading: ‘XRP Is The End Game’ — Pundit Reveals Why It’s Better Than Bitcoin The trendline, which has now flipped to support, sits just above the $3.40 level, and its resilience has helped XRP avoid any serious breakdowns since last week. As long as this line continues to hold, bulls will remain in control. To sum it up, the analysis shows that XRP is now in an accumulation phase rather than exhaustion, which is notable considering its significant rise earlier in the first half of July. Furthermore, a look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 1-hour candlestick timeframe chart shows that there’s still room for momentum to push higher than $3.65 before the end of the month.  However, the analyst also acknowledges that nothing is guaranteed. If the $3.40 support gives out, the XRP price could retrace to $3.20, where the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level lines up. Other Fibonacci price levels to watch for a rebound are at $2.96, $2.76, $2.56, $2.50, and $2.27. Next Target Lies At $4.65 The trendline’s consistency, combined with the RSI levels, makes a stronger case for a breakout than a breakdown. The road ahead could open up well if XRP can bounce well at $3.40 and finally punch through the $3.60 to $3.66 resistance range. CasiTrades identified $4.65 as the next major level to watch, a target derived from the 2.618 Fibonacci extension of the previous rally. In the meantime, a middle price level to watch is at $4.11 on the path to $4.65. “The volatility above here gets wild and fast,” the analyst said.

On-chain data shows the XRP whales have transferred significant amounts in the asset during the past day. Here’s where the coins are heading. XRP Whales Have Just Made Two Large Transactions According to data from cryptocurrency transaction tracker service Whale Alert, two massive transfers have been spotted on the XRP blockchain in the last 24 hours. Both of these moves were of a scale that can be associated to the whales, entities that carry significant amounts in their wallets. Due to their size, these investors can hold some degree of influence on the network, so their transfers can be worth keeping an eye on. They may not always directly affect the asset, but they can still sometimes be revealing about the sentiment among the cohort. Related Reading: XRP Breaks Out Of Bull Pennant—Is $15 Now In Sight? That said, it’s only possible to speculate on transactions when they involve at least one wallet that’s identifiable. Cryptocurrency networks are, after all, anonymous by nature, so a lot of transfers don’t hold any meaningful information. The older of the two XRP whale transfers from the past day, which also happens to be the much more massive of the two, was unfortunately of the type with no known addresses. As is visible above, the transfer involved around 200 million XRP, worth a whopping $700.6 million at the time that the move was executed on the blockchain. The transaction occurred between two unknown wallets, meaning that they were likely to have been self-custodial addresses. As mentioned before, it’s hard to infer anything from moves like these, as they can have any underlying reason, ranging from something as simple as a change of wallets to a peer-to-peer (P2P) sale. The second whale transfer for the day, however, was different. Below are the details associated with this move. This transaction, which saw the movement of 16.8 million tokens of the asset (about $58.3 million), had an unknown wallet as the sender, but on its receiving end was an address associated with cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. Moves of this type, where coins flow from a self-custodial wallet to a centralize exchange, are called Exchange Inflows. Generally, holders deposit their coins to these platforms when they want to make use of one of the services that they provide, which can include selling. As such, Exchange Inflows can sometimes prove to be bearish for the cryptocurrency’s price.

XRP price started a downside correction from the $3.650 zone. The price is now trading below $3.30 and remains at risk of more losses. XRP price started a downside correction below the $3.50 zone. The price is now trading below $3.450 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3.30 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start another increase if it stays above the $3.050 zone. XRP Price Dips Further XRP price started a fresh decline after it failed to clear the $3.650 resistance zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $3.450 and $3.350 support levels. The decline was such that the price traded below the $3.120 level. A low was formed at $3.050 and the price is now consolidating losses near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3.650 swing high to the $3.050 low. The price is now trading below $3.450 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3.30 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.2320 level. The first major resistance is near the $3.2650 level. A clear move above the $3.2650 resistance might send the price toward the $3.350 resistance or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3.650 swing high to the $3.050 low. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.450 resistance or even $3.50 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near the $3.650 zone. Another Drop? If XRP fails to clear the $3.350 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3.150 level. The next major support is near the $3.120 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $3.120 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $3.050 support. The next major support sits near the $3.00 zone. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $3.120 and $3.050. Major Resistance Levels – $3.250 and $3.350.

After nearly eight years of being trapped under a long-term resistance line, XRP is set to make headlines again as it inches closer to a historic breakout against Bitcoin (BTC). With XRP Spot ETF approvals still pending, this breakout could signal the start of a significant shift in momentum and price trajectory.  XRP To Break Major Resistance Against Bitcoin The XRP/BTC trading pair is rapidly approaching a critical technical breakout that could reshape its long-term value outlook. Crypto market expert Gordon noted in his chart analysis on X social media that XRP/BTC is close to breaching an 8-year descending resistance line—a move that could spark a major structural change in the market. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Explodes To January ATH Levels, Will Price Follow Above $3? A breakout from this resistance could not only signal the end of nearly a decade of underperformance against Bitcoin but also serve as a potential precursor to a broader revaluation of XRP. Gordon’s biweekly chart illustrates XRP’s historical struggle to gain ground against Bitcoin, with repeated rejections from a strong descending line that has acted as a barrier since 2017.  However, after experiencing long years of consolidation and accumulation, XRP/BTC now appears to be forming a large Symmetrical Triangle, with the current price hovering just below the upper boundary of the formation. Based on Gordon’s analysis, this technical compression suggests an imminent breakout, especially as price action builds momentum. What makes this potential breakout even more intriguing is that XRP’s rising value and current momentum have occurred without any significant bullish catalysts. The upward movement in XRP/BTC comes even before any official news concerning a potential XRP Spot ETF approval. The anticipation surrounding this ETF is already palpable, and a favorable decision could act as a powerful catalyst for continued upside. This scenario aligns with Gordon’s assessment that a breakout from the 8-year trendline could be a gateway to a generational wealth opportunity.  2025 XRP Spot ETF Approval Odds Hit 95% According to new data shared by market expert Steph is Crypto, XRP has emerged as one of the front-runners in the race for Spot ETF approval in the United States (US). The analyst has stated that the probability of an XRP ETF approval by the US SEC in 2025 has increased to a whopping 95%.  Related Reading: XRP Wave 3 Could Repeat 600% Surge From Nov 2025, Target Set For $15 XRP currently shares the highest projected odds of approval alongside Litecoin and Solana, signaling a major shift in sentiment toward altcoin-based ETFs. Already, a growing number of institutional asset managers are investing in this ETF, including Grayscale, Bitwise, 21Shares, WisdomTree, Canary, and others. Just a few days ago, reports also revealed that the SEC has officially approved the conversion of the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund into an ETF, which will include assets such as XRP, BTC, ETH, and others.

An analyst has pointed out that XRP has broken out of a Bull Pennant on the weekly chart and may now be setting its sights on this target. XRP Has Surged Above Bull Pennant Recently In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about how XRP has exited above a Bull Pennant recently. The Bull Pennant refers to a technical analysis (TA) pattern that forms when an asset’s price succeeds a sharp upwards move with a period of consolidation between two converging trendlines. Related Reading: Solana Becomes The Talk Of Social Media As Price Hits $200 Bull Pennants are similar to Bull Flags, with the main difference being that flags involve parallel channels instead. Just like in the case of the Bull Flag, the initial uptrend forms the ‘pole,’ but the consolidation channel here is known as the ‘pennant.’ When the price is trading inside the pennant portion of the pattern, it’s likely to face resistance at the upper level and support at the lower one. An escape out of either of these levels might signal a breakout in that direction. Bull Pennants are considered to be continuation patterns, so a breakout may be assumed to be more probable in the bullish direction. That is, the asset can be more likely to surge above the resistance line. Like the Bull Pennant, there is also the Bear Pennant. This TA pattern works much in the same way, except for the fact that the pole is represented by a downwards move and that a bearish breakout is more likely. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the pattern that the weekly price of XRP was trading inside until recently: As displayed in the above graph, the weekly price of XRP was earlier witnessing consolidation inside a Bull Pennant, but this month, the asset finally found a break as its price exited out of the pattern in a sharp manner. Usually, Bull Pennant breakouts are considered to be of the same length as the pole. Based on this, the analyst has drawn a potential breakout for the cryptocurrency in the chart. The target that it leads to is $15. Related Reading: Ethereum To $10,000? Analyst Says ETH Has To Break This Level If such a bull run does occur for XRP, then its price would have surged by a whopping 320%. It now remains to be seen whether the Bull Pennant would actually end up holding for the asset. XRP Price The altcoins have taken off recently and XRP has been no exception, as its price has reached the $3.56 mark after a rally of almost 22% over the last week.

XRP price started a fresh increase and traded above the $3.40 zone. The price is now consolidating gains and might aim for a fresh increase above the $3.550 zone. XRP price started a fresh increase above the $3.420 zone. The price is now trading above $3.450 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a short-term bullish trend line forming with support at $3.480 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start another increase if it stays above the $3.350 zone. XRP Price Eyes Fresh Increase XRP price started a fresh increase after it settled above the $3.350 level, beating Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above the $3.50 resistance level. The bulls remained in action and the price gained pace for a move above $3.550 barrier. Finally, the price tested the $3.650 zone. A high was formed at $3.660 and the price recently corrected some gains. A low was formed at $3.425 and the price is now consolidating. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3.650 swing high to the $3.425 low. The price is now trading above $3.450 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a short-term bullish trend line forming with support at $3.480 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.550 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3.650 swing high to the $3.425 low. The first major resistance is near the $3.60 level. A clear move above the $3.60 resistance might send the price toward the $3.650 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.720 resistance or even $3.80 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near the $4.00 zone. Another Drop? If XRP fails to clear the $3.550 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3.480 level. The next major support is near the $3.420 level.

A provocative post from crypto commentator Vincent Van Code suggests that Bitcoin was simply the experiment, while XRP represents the final form of money. In a detailed post on the social media platform X, Van Code outlined his theory, suggesting that XRP’s limitless liquidity design makes it far better for global finance than Bitcoin’s fixed-supply model. Bitcoin Changed Everything, But Isn’t the Final Stop Bitcoin introduced the world to the concept of decentralized digital currency with a limited supply. It broke away from traditional finance by removing the authority of banks and creating a decentralized system. The idea that money could exist entirely in digital form, without government backing, took hold through Bitcoin after its launch in 2009. It inspired millions and laid the foundation for what would become the crypto industry as we know it today. Related Reading: XRP Analyst Sees Clear Path Beyond $100 And Toward $1,000 However, Van Code suggests that Bitcoin’s structure, which is built around scarcity, slow transaction speed, and high fees, ultimately limits its utility. According to him, Bitcoin served a psychological function: getting people used to the concept of intangible, value-agreed money. But its design was never meant to scale into a truly global liquidity solution. “It rewards hoarding, not utility,” he said. He likened Bitcoin to a necessary first step: a proof-of-concept to prove digital scarcity has value and introduce decentralized finance. However, it’s slow, it’s expensive, and it can’t scale to global liquidity. As such, Van Code noted that perhaps Bitcoin was destined to be replaced by something more adaptable, something that serves not as a store of value but as a mechanism to move value. XRP Is The End Game Vincent Van Code’s argument is based on XRP’s design as a liquidity engine engineered for quick, trust-based exchange and not a speculative asset. He compared it to old barter systems that later adopted pine nuts as a unit of exchange. The pine nuts were not intrinsically valuable, but their universally accepted role allowed trade to flourish.  Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst The same principle applies to XRP. Its value lies not in what it’s backed by but in the global agreement that it can be trusted, even if only for a few seconds, to move value between parties efficiently. Unlike Bitcoin, XRP does not depend on its very low supply for its use case. Instead, it acts as a neutral bridge. It’s a digital pine nut with the capacity to become an infinite liquidity engine, assuming global agreement. If the world were to agree that each XRP was worth $10,000, then that agreement alone would make it so. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $117,890 after peaking at an all-time high of $122,838 on July 14. The flagship cryptocurrency is now in a state of consolidation. Bitcoin bulls continue to project new highs, but its immediate momentum has slowed down. XRP, meanwhile, is also consolidating just below its recent all-time high of $3.65 on July 18. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.44. It has experienced a pullback but is still within range of new price peaks. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Over the last few weeks, XRP has creeped up slowly but surely to become one of the most talked-about cryptocurrencies in the space. Its price has also risen steadily through this time, beating the $3.6 level to reach new seven-year highs and triggering momentum for higher prices. While the community celebrates this milestone, there is the fact that the altcoin has not made a new all-time high, and even with all of the recent push, its inability to reach new peaks has become a cause for concern. Are XRP Investors Getting The Short End Of The Stick? In a TradingView post, crypto analyst ICharted made a shocking allegation, namely that XRP investors are being ripped off. The analyst pointed out that the fact that a number of bullish developments have emerged in recent times and the XRP price is still sitting well below its all-time high levels shows that investors were getting the short end of the stick. Related Reading: Dogecoin Whale Bets $21 Million After $2.14M Profit – What’s Going On? The analyst listed out seven developments that have been bullish for the XRP price and should’ve already pushed it to new peaks. First on the list is the election of US President Donald Trump, who is the first pro-crypto president in history. Despite the market surge triggered by Trump’s election, XRP has remained well below its all-time highs. Next on the list is the fact that the Ripple case brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2020 is nearing its end, and this has also triggered a surge. But it was still not enough for new peaks. This also comes amid mass adoption as Ripple becomes the foremost crypto settlement company in the industry. ICharted also pointed out the myriad of partnerships that Ripple has inked, spanning from payments to real estate, and yet the XRP price continues to struggle. This has put XRP in the eye of the public, making it a well-known cryptocurrency, especially as it plans to take on SWIFT, but it is still sitting below all-time highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin Re-Enters Profit Zone As Greed Rises, But Rally To $200,000 Still Possible The rise in the volume in the past year is another development the analyst points to, as well as the fact that it was able to receive an ETF approval this year, which began trading last week. Then, last but not least, is the fact that the US Congress has passed multiple favourable crypto bills this year, and yet the XRP price remains below its 2018 peaks. Given that none of these have been able to push the XRP price to new all-time highs, the analyst warned investors that they are being ripped up on the price action. ICharted pointed to a possible price crash back to the $2 level soon, predicting that a free fall will begin in August. “The Feds are soon going to cut rates multiple times. Bitcoin tanks everytime that happens,” the analyst warned. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP is making headlines once again as its network records a dramatic surge, surpassing $1 billion in daily transfer volume for the first time in over a month. The spike comes on the heels of a powerful price rally, with possible signs that large holders, also called whales, may be playing a key role in driving the cryptocurrency’s next leg.  XRP Transactions Hit Major Highs The XRP network is showing renewed strength and growth as transaction volumes have skyrocketed to over $1.07 billion. This spike follows a massive 67% rally in the digital asset’s price, which climbed above $3.5 earlier this month after a long period of consolidation. This impressive price surge marks one of the most aggressive upward moves in recent months.  Related Reading: Pundit Warns XRP Investors To Not Make This Grave Mistake This Cycle The resurgence in both network activity and price signals is growing market momentum and possibly a shift in sentiment among investors and traders. Notably, XRPScan, a platform that records data from the XRP Ledger, revealed that the large-scale transfer volume was recorded on July 18, representing the cryptocurrency’s largest single-day figure in over a month. What’s particularly notable about this recent volume surge is that it does not appear driven by speculative churn alone. The elevated flow of funds between accounts and the increase in user addresses suggest a deeper level of network usage.  Data from XRPScan shows that XRP payment volume from one account to another rose to 1.72 billion on July 18. Additionally, the number of successful transactions executed around the same time totalled over 2.08 million. New active accounts have also climbed significantly, with July 18 recording the highest daily count over the last month at 10,279.  With blockchain metrics flashing green and XRP’s price reclaiming bullish momentum, the surge in daily transfer volume signals a fresh wave of bullish confidence among holders. Typically, such synchronised growth may point to deliberate accumulation or distribution by whales, who often move large sums during pivotal market shifts. Whales Go Long On XRP Ahead Of Potential Surge New reports from analysts indicate that XRP whale activity is back in full swing, with specific holders going long just days after the cryptocurrency network surged past $1 billion in transfer volume. Multiple long positions totalling over $3.8 million have been opened at a price point near $3.44, raising speculation that deep-pocketed investors may be acting on insider-level confidence.  KingXRP, an analyst on X social media, revealed that a whale recently entered a $1.52 million long on XRP, just as buzz grows around the impending RealFi integration that could enable the XRP Ledger to unlock a massive $650 trillion market.

Adding fuel to the hype, Radar, another market expert, reported that two additional whale-sized positions, worth $1.02 million and $1.31 million, were opened within the same price range. This move signals a clear shift in whale sentiment, suggesting increased confidence in XRP’s breakout potential.  Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP is no stranger to dramatic breakouts, and now, all signs point to another one brewing. After years of range-bound price action, the token is flashing powerful signals on the weekly chart: a fresh MACD crossover, surging momentum, and a massive breakout structure forming. With $5 acting as the key psychological level, analysts believe a close above it could ignite a euphoric rally toward $8–$11. If history is any guide, the real fireworks may spark between August and October 2025. XRP Multi-Year Range Breakout Signals Strength According to The Ape Of Main Street, in a recent post on X, XRP appears to be breaking out of a multi-year consolidation range, signaling the potential beginning of a strong upward trend. This breakout comes as several technical indicators begin to align, sparking fresh optimism among long-term holders. Related Reading: XRP Price Fires Up Again: Momentum Grows, Eyes Key Resistance One of the most notable signals is a clean MACD crossover on the weekly timeframe, a classic indication of a shift in momentum toward the bulls. Alongside that, the RSI is climbing but still has room before it approaches levels historically associated with cycle peaks. The analyst emphasizes that a weekly close above the $5.00 mark would be a major milestone. Such a breakout would not only confirm the current rally but also clear the path for a more explosive leg up.  Should the breakout continue, the next macro targets lie between $8.00 and $11.00. These levels are not arbitrarily chosen; they align closely with the price action observed during XRP’s previous parabolic cycle.  No Reversal, No Limits? In wrapping up the analysis, the expert emphasized that the ongoing breakout in XRP looks both solid and sustainable, provided current momentum holds. The chart structure remains strong, with no immediate signs of exhaustion or reversal just yet. Related Reading: Pundit Says XRP’s Rise To $1,000 Will Happen A Lot Sooner Than Anticipated However, a key milestone lies ahead. For the move to gain real traction, XRP must break decisively above the $5 mark. That level serves as a critical threshold, one that could shift market sentiment from optimism to outright euphoria, sparking a new wave of bullish momentum. Looking ahead, the analyst suggests that if this breakout continues uninterrupted, the next parabolic phase could begin to unfold as early as August and stretch through October 2025. This projection is based on a combination of technical indicators and historical patterns seen in past cycles, which tend to favor explosive rallies once psychological resistance levels are breached. In summary, XRP may be on the verge of a major breakout, provided it holds above key levels and maintains volume. With strong technical confirmation and historical context supporting the move, traders and investors alike will be watching closely to see if XRP can replicate its previous explosive rallies as this bull cycle unfolds.

The XRP price is on the rise once again after clearing the resistance that had mounted at the $3 level. This resistance has now been turned into support as the price is now only 15% from its all-time highs of $3.84. Amid this, expectations have begun to rise that the XRP price will reach new all-time highs from here. It suggests that there is still another move coming for the digital asset that could send it higher, and one analyst has advised investors to get ready to sell. XRP’s Next Surge Is A Good Time To Sell In an X post, crypto analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino has given XRP investors a heads up on when they should be getting ready to sell their coins. The post features a price chart that shows that XRP has already beaten $3 and is likely to head up to higher levels. Related Reading: Pundit Warns XRP Investors To Not Make This Grave Mistake This Cycle Severino explained that the XRP price has now entered into price discovery, something that is bullish for the digital asset. Price discovery is a period where market participants, ie buyers and sellers, determine what the value of an asset is through their activities. So far, the market looks to have decided that the XRP altcoin is worth more and has continued its uptrend. Interestingly, the crypto analyst had initially pointed to this possible move months ago in May 2025, showing that XRP had reached a critical level. This was the monthly RSI crash back down to the 67.18 level, and the last time that something similar had happened was back in 2017 before the price surge to all-time highs. In a similar vein, it had taken a few months back then for the trend to play out, but the resulting surge was almost as massive as the first one. As the XRP price seems to be playing out the second surge, the analyst expects that a final surge may be on the way for XRP. However, what is most important here is that investors get ready to take profit during this final surge. Open Interest Points To Possible Peak As the XRP price has risen, so has the open interest as crypto traders take their positions in the digital asset. This surge has seen the XRP open rise to levels never seen before to beat its previous all-time high of $8.33 billion that was set back in January 2025. The XRP open interest has now risen to over $9 billion, according to data from Coinglass.

XRP Open Interest (OI) has surged to a new all-time high, surpassing $10 billion across major crypto exchanges. This jump in futures activity comes as the XRP price climbs toward $3.48, its highest level in years. Historically, rising Open Interest has often coincided with significant price rallies, suggesting the potential for further upside in XRP’s trajectory.   XRP Open Interest Records New ATH Reports from Coinglass have revealed that the total Open Interest in XRP futures has climbed to a fresh ATH of $10.49 billion, reflecting a sharp increase in trading activity and capital inflows into the derivatives market. Notably, the Open Interest broke ATH targets after it exceeded the $9 billion mark, with trading activity continuing to accelerate, according to a recent X post by crypto analyst Captain Redbeard.  Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Explodes To January ATH Levels, Will Price Follow Above $3? Coinglass chart data from July 18, 2025, shows that XRP is currently trading at approximately $3.5, marking a significant recovery from its prolonged consolidation period just above $2 in recent months. The spike in Open Interest is reportedly driven by some of the top crypto exchanges, with Bitget leading with $2.21 billion, followed by Binance at $1.83 billion, Gate at $1.69 billion, Bybit at $1.53 billion, and other platforms contributing to the overall increase. Binance, the dominant player in XRP futures, has seen its Open Interest vault from around $544.4 million on March 11, 2025, to nearly $2 billion in just four months. This reflects a broader trend where major exchanges, including Bitmex, Coinbase, OKX, and Hyperliquid, witness multiple hundred-million-dollar positions being opened by traders betting on XRP’s next move.  The correlation between Open Interest and price action often serves as a crucial signal in the derivatives market. Usually, when OI climbs alongside price, it suggests strong bullish momentum backed by real capital. Conversely, a surge in OI without a corresponding price increase can raise concerns over potential leverage traps or looming liquidations. In the case of XRP, both Open Interest and price appear to be rising, indicating sustained market confidence and the possibility of an even stronger uptrend. XRP Eyes Three Bullish Targets In 2025 The XRP price is eyeing higher levels this bull cycle, as crypto analyst Armando Pantoja has forecasted three upside targets for the altcoin in 2025. Firstly, the analyst announced that XRP has officially entered price discovery territory after smashing through the long-standing resistance level of $2.98.  Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst This breakout now marks the possible start of another bull phase, with XRP expected to hit an immediate target of $4 soon. Pantoja’s Projections also extend to a bullish target of $6.37 and even $8.12 before the end of 2025. These targets are based on Fibonacci Extension levels and historical cycle patterns, indicating that XRP could still be in the early phases of a larger breakout.   Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

An analyst has pointed out that the XRP Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio has just formed a crossover that proved to be highly bullish the last time it appeared. XRP MVRV Ratio Has Broken Above Its 200-Day MA In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a crossover that has recently occurred in the MVRV Ratio of XRP. The “MVRV Ratio” is a popular on-chain indicator that keeps track of the ratio between the asset’s Market Cap and Realized Cap. The Realized Cap here refers to a capitalization model that calculates the cryptocurrency’s total value by assuming that the value of each coin in circulation is equal to the price at which it was last transacted on the blockchain. This is unlike the Market Cap, which simply takes the current spot price as the same one value for all coins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sees Influx Of New Capital: First-Time Buyers Add 140,000 BTC The last transfer of any token is likely to represent the last time it changed hands, so the price at its time can be denoted as its current cost basis. As such, the Realized Cap represents the sum of the cost basis of the entire circulating supply. One way to interpret the model is as a measure of the amount of capital that the investors as a whole have stored in the cryptocurrency. The Market Cap, on the other hand, signifies the value that the holders are carrying in the present. When the value of the MVRV Ratio is more than 1, it means the Market Cap is greater than the Realized Cap. In other words, the investors are holding more than they put in. On the other hand, the metric being under this threshold suggests the overall network is underwater. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the trend in the XRP MVRV Ratio, as well as its 200-day moving average (MA), over the past year: As displayed in the above graph, the XRP MVRV Ratio has seen a sharp surge recently as the asset’s breakout has occurred. With this uptrend, the indicator has managed to break past its 200-day MA. In the chart, the analyst has highlighted the last time that the cryptocurrency’s MVRV Ratio and its 200-day MA showed this type of crossover. What followed back then was a significant bull run in which the coin managed to rise by around 630%. Related Reading: XRP Close Above This Level Could Send Price To $4.80, Analyst Says Given this precedence, it now remains to be seen whether the latest crossover will also prove to be a golden one for XRP. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $3.32, up 33% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com
