THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Onchain data shows that over $40 billion worth of XRP has been moved over the last week, which puts the altcoin on the edge. Specifically, these coins were transferred to exchanges, which indicates that XRP is at risk of a massive sell-off.  Over $40 Billion XRP Moved To Exchanges CryptoQuant data shows that over $40 billion has been moved to Binance this past week, with the exchange’s reserves surging during this period. This development is usually bearish as it indicates that investors are looking to offload their coins. This comes as the XRP price surged to as high as $2.6, which explains this wave of profit-taking.  Related Reading: XRP Reaching Oversold Levels As Net Flows Turn Negative, What’s Next? Moreover, crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that Bitcoin whales have secured profits, selling over 30,000 BTC this week. As such, XRP whales may be simply mirroring this move. Meanwhile, Bitcoinist reported that XRP is reaching oversold levels as net flows turn negative, with the wave of sell-offs heightening.  This selling pressure comes amid Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling in the Ripple SEC lawsuit, which provides a setback for XRP. The judge denied the parties’ motion for an indicative ruling because the filing was procedurally improper. The ruling also sparked a massive sell-off, with XRP dropping over 4%. XRP risks losing its bullish setup as Martinez revealed that the key support zone is at $2.38, meaning that a drop below this level could lead to a deeper correction. However, a hold above this level could set the altcoin for a rally to new highs as the analyst revealed that there are no major resistance clusters ahead. Crypto analyst CasiTrades had warned that XRP’s failure to hold above the $2.69 resistance could send its price towards $2.30 for a reset.  Altcoin Has Formed A Double Bottom Formation In an X post, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto revealed that XRP has formed a double bottom following the dip to $2.3126. He stated that the altcoin is still bouncing off the red descending trend line, showing resilience. The analyst added that the altcoin is experiencing some micro noise within the range between the Fibonacci 0.888 levels at $2.30 and $2.62.  Related Reading: XRP Price Set To Continue Uptrend As Stochastic RSI Moves Out Of Oversold Zone His accompanying chart showed that the key is for the XRP price to hold above the trendline at $2.3. A bounce from this level could send the altcoin as high as $3.8, near its current all-time high (ATH) of $3.84. Based on its historical performance, Egrag Crypto still expects the altcoin’s price to rally to between $27 and $33 in this market cycle.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.37, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP price is once again in the spotlight as a new technical analysis indicates that the cryptocurrency may be on the verge of a significant price explosion to $5.9 and beyond. According to the analyst behind this forecast, XRP’s recent price behavior is not a sign of weakness but rather a period of strategic consolidation that is building momentum for the next major surge.  Consolidation Phase To Fuel XRP Price Explosion  Master Ananda, a crypto analyst on TradingView, released a detailed analysis of XRP on May 15. The analysis highlights the cryptocurrency’s current price action and predicts its next bullish move. Starting with its historical price behavior, the analysis highlights a strong rally that took place in 2024, particularly around November and December, when XRP printed long green candles that indicated strong momentum. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Must Hold This Level For Bullish Continuation To $4.2 After reaching a high, XRP entered a consolidation phase, during which price action formed a pattern resembling a symmetrical triangle or wedge. This is marked with red dashed lines on the chart, showing indecision in the market as the price was suppressed.  Master Ananda revealed that after this triangle formation, XRP broke out around April  7, 2025 — a date now marked as a potential inflection point in the cryptocurrency’s market cycle. Since then, weekly candles have consistently closed in the green, indicating renewed bullish momentum.  Adding to Master Ananda’s bullish case for the XRP price is a Fibonacci retracement and extension levels drawn from the previous major swing high to the recent low. These levels help identify potential resistance and target zones for the next leg up.  Notably, the retracement levels have been marked around $2.05 (0.236 Fib), $2.39 (0.382 Fib), and $2.71 (0.618 Fib), culminating at the previous high of $3.40. Fibonacci extension project potential targets are at $4.50 (1.618 Fib), and the highest level is at $6.29 (2.618 Fib).  Currently, the trajectory of the curved green arrow in the chart shows a more probable price target of around $5.9. However, XRP will still have to surge past the aforementioned retracement levels and the resistance at $4.5 to reach this level. The overall takeaway of this analysis is that XRP is printing strong bullish signals, and its current consolidation is seen as a precursor to further growth.  The asset Approaches Make Or Break Zone XRP is entering a decisive phase, as crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicts an imminent breakout from a tight consolidation range, within which the cryptocurrency has been trading for months. The analyst’s chart shows a purple zone, which he described as a “pandora box.” This zone represents a critical price range acting as both resistance and support, effectively trapping price action. Related Reading: XRP Price Surge To $10: Analyst Reveals Factors That Will Make It Happen In 2025 Egrag Crypto emphasizes that a breakout above or below this boxed range could ignite high volatility and significant momentum for XRP. He frames it as a pivotal moment where big moves, possibly explosive ones, are expected to happen. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP’s current price has been highlighted by a range of around $2.5 in the past three days. However, this low price hasn’t stopped the idea of an extravagant XRP price from being in the hearts of XRP bull traders and enthusiasts. Against this backdrop of growing confidence, a bold theory suggesting that XRP could surge to $10,000 has come up from a crypto analyst. This extravagant price point is much higher than most predictions based on technical analysis. Notably, this analyst leaned on XRP fundamentals with XRP to show a scenario where its price reaches this point. Analyst Predicts XRP Could Hit $10,000 Between 2027 And 2030 The theory, introduced by a crypto analyst named Remi Relief on the social media platform X, centers on a long-term vision of XRP reaching $10,000 due to widespread adoption in financial institutions and complete activation of its utility features. Related Reading: Analyst Says These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $1,000, But What Does Market Cap Say? In a post dated May 12, the analyst predicted that this massive XRP price point of $10,000 could materialize between 2027 and 2030. He clarified that the prediction wasn’t dependent on sudden events or institutional price setting but on the natural outcome of XRP functioning at its full potential in global financial systems. However, he also stated that such a price point could manifest as early as 2026. Building on the original post, the analyst has recently expanded on a more detailed vision of a $10,000 XRP. He claimed the existence of two separate XRP ledgers: one for the retail market and another accessible only to around 1,700 institutions and private entities operating under NDAs. According to him, these private participants could already be running tests with drastically different price levels, possibly including the $10,000 mark. He linked this development to recent progress in CBDC trials, especially in France. The analyst also referred to a report discussing the efficiency and performance of various digital currency and payment platforms in terms of Transactions Per Second (TPS) back in 2022. The report focused on CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) test networks. According to the report, the Ripple Private Ledger had a TPS of 1,500 in 2022 during tests for the digital Euro. Although Ripple is not yet at the operational scale of AliPay or the Hamilton Project, future projections of the blockchain’s TPS are still unknown. The Possibility Of A $10,000 Basement Price For The Altcoin The crypto analyst’s theory is based on a future where XRP underpins major financial operations at fixed high values across private networks. The most provocative element of the theory involves Ripple potentially setting a basement price for XRP at $10,000, which would never be breached.

XRP price started a downside correction below the $2.50 zone. The price is now consolidating and might find bids near the $2.350 support zone. XRP price started a fresh decline below the $2.550 zone. The price is now trading below $2.50 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.420 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might start another increase if it stays above the $2.350 support. XRP Price Dips Further XRP price started a downside correction from the $2.650 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price dipped below the $2.60 and $2.55 levels to enter a short-term bearish zone. The bears were able to push the price below the $2.50 support zone. Finally, the bulls appeared near $2.350. A low was formed at $2.348 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.650 swing high to the $2.348 low. The price is now trading below $2.50 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.420 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.420 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The first major resistance is near the $2.450 level. The next resistance is $2.50 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.650 swing high to the $2.348 low. A clear move above the $2.50 resistance might send the price toward the $2.60 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance or even $2.680 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.80. More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $2.50 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.350 level. The next major support is near the $2.320 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.320 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.20 support. The next major support sits near the $2.120 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 – $2.350 and $2.320. Major Resistance Levels – $2.420 and $2.50.

XRP has re-entered a pivotal trading range against Bitcoin (BTC), stirring up excitement as technical signals suggest a potential breakout. This move is reinforcing its bullish position, highlighting three major price targets that could confirm a larger macro rally.  XRP Sets Sights On Key Targets Against Bitcoin After months of consolidation, the XRP/BTC trading pair is now back inside a critical triangle formation, which market expert Egrag Crypto has identified as a key price range to watch for potential breakout or breakdown moves. The analyst shared a short-term XRP/BTC chart on X (formerly Twitter), explaining how important this price range is for the trading pair to hit new bullish targets and reach even larger goals.  Related Reading: XRP Analyst Highlights Ultimate Targets And Selling Strategy As XRP Price Rebounds This triangle structure, dating back years, acts as a roadmap for XRP/BTC’s potential breakout, but only if it successfully flips certain levels into support. The first major target highlighted by Egrag Crypto is $0.000003033, which represents the upper boundary of the triangle. A decisive breakout above this level would signal a structural shift, confirming a possible bullish breakout from the narrowing wedge.  The analyst’s second key target is $0.00003430, the local high from XRP/BTC’s last rally. This price level is crucial for momentum validation, as flipping this into support with strong volume would build strong confidence in the next upward move and show confirmation that it can hold above it. The third and most critical target the XRP/BTC pair is expected to reach is $0.00004300, which aligns with the Fibonacci 1.0 level and XRP/BTC’s previous cycle high. A move beyond this level suggests the beginning of a macro rally, unlocking access to higher Fibonacci extension levels, including:  1.272 Fib ($0.00007244) 1.414 Fib ($0.00009546) 1.618 Fib ($0.00014191) 1.888 Fib ($0.00030000) The Altcoin Must Hold Support Or Risk Macro Breakdown While Egrag Crypto’s breakout targets paint an optimistic picture, the XRP/BTC LTC analysis comes with a stark warning of a potential crash. The analyst has raised alarm bells, warning not to lose the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $0.00002032.  Related Reading: XRP Price To Break Out Of Consolidation: The Next Moonshot That Will Lead To $3 This support range acts as the last kind of defense for XRP/BTC’s bullish market structure. The analyst goes as far as to say, “Lose an arm, but don’t lose this range,” emphasizing the importance of maintaining this level. He further predicts that if the pair drops below this support level, it could see a decline to as low as $0.00000611. At the time of the analysis, XRP/BTC was trading at approximately $0.00002516, showing early signs of recovery after dipping below the triangle range. If bulls can defend this level and hold on to their upward momentum, the path toward flipping resistance levels into support becomes potentially clearer.  Egrag Crypto has also outlined potential price projections for the XRP based on the bullish scenario where the XRP/BTC pair reaches several upper Fibonacci levels and Bitcoin rallies to key milestones.  Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Crypto Michael, who called the XRP price surge when it was trading at $0.5, has predicted the altcoin’s next move. Based on his prediction, XRP is set to sustain its current bullish momentum and possibly rally to a new all-time high (ATH) soon with a breakout above $3.  Analyst Predicts XRP Price Surge Above $3 In an X post, Michael predicted a second parabolic rally once the XRP price breaks the psychological $3. The analyst made this prediction while revealing that he had called this current XRP rally while the altcoin was still trading at $0.5. Indeed, last year, he stated that a historic breakout was incoming for the altcoin.  Related Reading: XRP Price Outperforms Bitcoin, Ethereum As ‘Strange Signal’ Emerges, Why The Target Is $4 Back then, he highlighted a unique 7-year-long bull pennant that had formed for the XRP price. Based on that bullish pattern, the analyst remarked that market participants might be about to witness one of the most significant breakouts in crypto history. XRP eventually broke out and became the second-best-performing asset among the top 10 cryptos by market cap in 2024.  Crypto analyst CasiTrade recently stated that the XRP price could witness an explosive move above $3 if it breaks and holds above $2.69. This means the projected parabolic rally for XRP above the $3 mark could happen soon. This rally could send the altcoin above its current ATH of around $3.84.  Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also suggested that the XRP price will unlikely encounter any major resistance as it targets a run to a new ATH. In an X post, he cited Glassnode data as he revealed that XRP has no major resistance clusters ahead. Meanwhile, the analyst noted that the key support zone is $2.38.  A Rally To Double Digits In This Cycle? Several crypto analysts have predicted that the XRP price can rally to double digits in this market cycle. In an X post, Pepa stated that the plan stays the same for XRP. His accompanying chart showed that he expects the altcoin to rally to as high as $30 by year-end or the start of next year.  Related Reading: XRP Price To Rally To $6: Partially Completed Wave 5 Says There’s Still Room To Run Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto also recently alluded to a previous analysis in which he predicted that the XRP price would reach $28 by year-end 2025. This move is expected to mark Wave 5 on his Elliott Wave Theory analysis. Similarly, analyst Egrag Crypto stated that XRP will reach between $27 and $33 in this cycle. Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto offered a more conservative target, predicting that the altcoin will reach between $4 and $6 in this cycle.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.52, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.  Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

In a recent post on X, market analyst Andrew Griffiths pointed out that XRP has faced notable rejection at two consecutive resistance levels, first near $2.65, followed by another rejection at $2.57. The inability to hold above $2.57 on the second attempt is particularly telling, as it indicates that sellers may be stepping in earlier, defending lower levels. This pattern raises the risk of a deeper retracement if bullish support doesn’t re-enter the market soon. Volume And Price Divergence At Resistance To provide further context on his recent analysis of XRP, Andrew Griffiths highlighted a critical divergence in volume between recent highs, which might signal a potential weakening in bullish momentum. As XRP reached higher price levels over the past few days, the accompanying trading volume has been progressively decreasing, suggesting that the market’s enthusiasm for higher price levels is fading. This volume-price divergence raises concerns that the upward momentum may not be sustainable without additional support. Related Reading: XRP Price Rejected At Resistance: Why $2.69 Holds The Key Griffiths highlighted the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which still suggests there could be potential for further upward movement in XRP’s price. The RSI remains in a favorable zone, indicating that the market may continue to see bullish pressure, especially if it can break certain resistance levels.  However, Griffiths also expressed caution, acknowledging that while the RSI suggests upside potential, the weakening volume makes him reluctant to commit fully to the bullish side just yet. He emphasized the need for confirmation, either through stronger buying volume or a more sustained price move. If XRP fails to sustain its current price levels, Griffiths suggested that a pullback to earlier trend zones is likely, where price could find support and possibly consolidate. Such a move would not necessarily spell the end of the bullish trend but rather signal an opportunity for a better entry point at lower levels. XRP Rejection Signals Growing Uncertainty Among Traders Andrew Griffiths concluded his analysis by highlighting that uncertainty presently reigns in the market, making it difficult to predict the immediate direction of XRP’s price action. While the cryptocurrency has experienced some bullish movement, the mixed signals from volume divergence and resistance rejections have created a situation where neither the bulls nor the bears appear to have full control.  Related Reading: XRP Sees Renewed Trader Activity as Market Absorbs Selling Pressure In terms of key levels, Griffiths identified $2.37 as a critical short-term support level that could provide some stability if prices start to retrace. This level has previously served as an important point of support during earlier pullbacks. Should the price hold above this support zone, there’s still potential for a consolidation phase or a continuation of the upward trend if buying pressure picks up again. However, if XRP fails to defend this key level, it could signal downside risk, with a move toward the next support zones. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP price extended gains above the $2.60 zone. The price is now correcting gains from $2.65 and might find bids near the $2.480 zone. XRP price started a fresh increase above the $2.550 zone. The price is now trading above $2.50 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $2.550 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might start another increase if it stays above the $2.480 support. XRP Price Corrects Some Gains XRP price remained supported above the $2.420 level and started a fresh upward wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to surpass the $2.50 and $2.550 levels. The bulls pushed the price above the $2.60 resistance zone. Finally, it tested the $2.650 zone. A high was formed at $2.650 before there was a pullback. The price dipped below $2.550 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.4220 swing low to the $2.650 high. Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $2.550 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading above $2.50 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.550 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.580 level. The next resistance is $2.60. A clear move above the $2.60 resistance might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.720 resistance or even $2.750 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.880. More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $2.580 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.510 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.4220 swing low to the $2.650 high. The next major support is near the $2.480 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.480 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.450 support. The next major support sits near the $2.420 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 below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.510 and $2.480. Major Resistance Levels – $2.60 and $2.650.

Market sentiment around the XRP price is flipping bullish as technical indicators and recent chart movements suggest a promising upward trajectory over the next three months. With momentum building, a crypto analyst is now eyeing a potential rally that could push XRP as high as $36.  According to a new prediction posted by crypto analyst Dark Defender on X (formerly Twitter), the XRP price is gearing up for a potentially explosive surge to $36.  XRP Price Forecasted To Reach $36 The chart analysis shows that XRP has broken through a crucial three-month resistance trendline that has capped its price action since its 2018 peak. This breakout signals a powerful shift in market structure, indicating that the long-standing bearish trend may be over.  Related Reading: XRP Price Repeating History? 2017-Like Rally To Send Price To $10 Dark Defender’s three-month candlestick chart applies the Elliott Wave Theory, mapping out a five-wave bullish structure. The analysis shows that Waves 1 and 2 have already played out, and XRP now appears to be entering Wave 3, which is typically seen as the strongest and longest wave.  If this Wave 3 pattern holds, XRP could be on the verge of its most powerful rally yet. According to Dark Defender, the upside target could reach as high as $36.76, representing a staggering 423.6% increase.  Before XRP reaches this projected price level, Dark Defender has forecasted short—to long-term bullish targets for the cryptocurrency. In the short term, XRP could reach $3.33, with a mid-term goal of $5.85.  Additional milestones along the way include key percentage gain levels that may act as interim resistance zones. A 161.8% gain points to a potential price of around $13.81, while a 261.8% surge suggests a move toward $18.96. If momentum continues, the token could push further to $26.87, aligning with a 361.8% increase.  On the downside, support levels at $2.3620 and $2.222 are expected to act as strongholds in case of any retracement before continuation. Moving forward, Dark Defender has doubled down on his bullish stance on XRP’s future outlook, referencing a tweet dated March 17 that boldly declared, “XRP is extremely bullish.” Clear Path Ahead For The Altcoin As Resistance Thins Out  In an X post released on May 13, Ali Martinez, a prominent crypto analyst, disclosed that on-chain data from Glassnode shows a clear bullish path for XRP, with no signs of major resistance clusters ahead. The analysis based on the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) indicates that a significant portion of XRP tokens were last moved at lower price levels.  Related Reading: XRP Price Macro Channel Breakout That Puts Targets At $17-$55 The chart also highlights a significant support zone at $2.38, where nearly 1.85 billion XRP, amounting to 2.92% of its supply, were last transacted. This concentration of holders could serve as a psychological and technical support level if the market pulls back. Moreover, the absence of large token holdings at higher price ranges suggests that the price could experience a smoother ascent, unburdened by major resistance from profit-takers.

XRP is facing a strong resistance level on its path to the $3 price level and above, with the past 24 hours witnessing some sort of rejection at this resistance level. XRP price action has gradually built momentum in May, leading to a sharp move toward the upper $2.60 range. On May 12, XRP briefly touched $2.63 before retreating slightly, now trading around $2.57. Directly ahead is the major resistance at $2.69, and technical analysis shows that this zone now holds the key to whether XRP can continue its march toward $3.00 or undergo a pullback for consolidation.  $2.69 Resistance Is Technical For XRP Price Crypto analyst CasiTrades has highlighted the $2.69 price point as an important resistance level for the XRP price moving forward. According to the analyst’s chart, which accompanied a post on social media platform X, this level represents the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement from XRP’s all-time high and is a key level to watch for correction.  Related Reading: XRP Price Marks Confluence Support, Technical Indicators Put Next Stop At $3 Notably, this zone has led to multiple retracements since December 2024, with each attempt seeing sellers quickly step in to defend it. It even proved difficult to break when XRP broke to reach $3.3 in January, and an order block was created on the daily candlestick timeframe just before the ensuing rally above it. As noted by the crypto analyst, momentum indicators have remained relatively muted during XRP’s recent rally. The crypto has also completed what appears to be a full 5-wave Elliott count from the analyst. However, instead of a retracement, the price has pressed forward slowly alongside the rest of the crypto market. This slow, controlled push higher often signals strong underlying demand, strong trend, and heavy accumulation. As it stands, the only thing left to do is to see how the XRP price performs at the $2.69 resistance. Breakout Or Rejection: Two Opposite Outcomes With High Impact The analyst warns that the $2.69 level could be a final barrier before XRP is cleared for a run toward $3.00 and beyond. A confirmed breakout, ideally with a strong daily candle close above this level, would invalidate short-term bearish pressures and cause a run above this level. Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Bullish Path To $5 As Long As This Level Holds However, if $2.69 once again proves too strong for bulls to overcome, the altcoin may enter a temporary cooling-off phase. In this case, the next logical support level is around $2.30, which is close to the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level. This is another breakout/rebound zone that could offer a healthy reset for the XRP price.  In either scenario, the price behavior at $2.69 is expected to set the tone for the rest of May and determine whether XRP can extend its 2025 bullish trend. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.57, up 4% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP has aligned itself with the broader cryptocurrency market’s upward trend, registering significant gains over the past week. The asset recorded a 20% rise on the weekly chart before retreating slightly. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $2.54, reflecting a 2% decline in the past 24 hours. Despite the minor dip, the asset remains well above recent local lows and is showing signs of growing trader interest. According to a new analysis shared by CryptoQuant contributor BorisVest, activity in XRP derivatives on Binance indicates potential accumulation amid increasing speculative interest. Related Reading: XRP Price To Rally To $6: Partially Completed Wave 5 Says There’s Still Room To Run The market, which previously saw a steep drop in open interest, is now witnessing a resurgence in leveraged trading positions. These on-chain dynamics may be hinting at a shift in sentiment as participants return following the earlier flush-out. XRP Open Interest Rebounds as Traders Re-Enter the Market Open interest, defined as the total number of active futures contracts not yet settled—serves as a gauge for market engagement. When open interest increases alongside price, it often suggests rising speculative participation.  In XRP’s case, the data shows a sharp rebound from a previous $530 million low to a higher range, suggesting a recovery in market confidence after a significant drop from its $1.5 billion peak. BorisVest also analyzed Binance funding rates, which reflect the cost of maintaining long or short positions in perpetual futures. These rates become positive when long positions dominate and negative when short interest prevails.  During XRP’s recent correction, the funding rate turned negative, indicating an influx of short positions and setting up conditions for a possible short squeeze. A short squeeze occurs when short sellers are forced to buy back their positions due to rising prices, often resulting in rapid upward price movements.  Currently, the funding rate is neutral, suggesting equilibrium between bullish and bearish positions, though subtle signals point to increasing short exposure. Taker Sell Pressure Meets Steady Price: Signs of Absorption? Another metric underlined in the analysis is the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio. This indicator compares the volume of aggressive buy orders (market buys) against sell orders (market sells). A ratio below 1 implies that sellers are more aggressive.  In this case, XRP’s Taker Buy/Sell Ratio stands at 0.91, meaning selling pressure dominates. However, the absence of significant price declines despite the pressure implies potential absorption by larger players, which can be a precursor to bullish price movements. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says XRP Price Must Clear This Level Or Risk Crash To $1.9 The combination of rising open interest, neutral funding rates, and sustained price levels despite sell pressure suggests that XRP may be experiencing silent accumulation. While the market remains indecisive, these patterns are often observed in the early stages of a trend reversal or breakout. As speculative activity picks up, it could be worth monitoring these signals closely for further confirmation. Whether this leads to a continuation of XRP’s rally or not, the current data points to a market that is actively recalibrating, and possibly preparing for the next phase in price action.

A clear move above the $2.720 resistance might send the price toward the $2.80 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.850 resistance or even $2.880 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.950. Downside Correction? If XRP fails to clear the $2.60 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.510 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $2.492 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.4220 swing low to the $2.6050 high. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.4920 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.450 support. The next major support sits near the $2.420 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 – $2.510 and $2.4920. Major Resistance Levels – $2.60 and $2.650.

Crypto analyst BarriC has asserted that an XRP price rally to between $10 and $20 would only be the start for the altcoin. The analyst still expects XRP to rally to four digits and has in the past explained why he believes such an ambitious price target is possible.  XRP Price To Still Rally To $1,000 In an X post, BarriC stated that a potential XRP price rally to between $10 and $20 is just the beginning. He added that the long game for the altcoin is $1,000. The analyst urged market participants to be prepared for life-changing and generational wealth. In his other X posts, BarriC provided a roadmap for how it can reach four digits.  Related Reading: Analyst Says These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $1,000, But What Does Market Cap Say? In one post, he stated that once the XRP price reclaims $3, it will move rapidly to $5. The analyst predicts that the altcoin will then skyrocket into double digits, sitting comfortably at between $10 and $20 as a new all-time high. However, BarriC believes that is just the start for XRP as it will still reach $100 and then $1,000.  He asserted that these price targets for XRP will happen much sooner than people think. In another post, the analyst alluded to banks using XRP as one factor that could spark this XRP price surge. BarriC stated that the fact that investors can still accumulate the altcoin at around $2 means that banks aren’t utilizing it yet.  The analyst said that once banks and financial institutions worldwide adopt and utilize XRP in the way they conduct finance, the altcoin will skyrocket to $1,000. He referenced the 2017 bull cycle when the token’s price went from $0.006 to $3.80, which is why he is confident that such a parabolic surge is possible.  The Altcoin Approaching Key Resistance Levels In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that the XRP price is approaching key resistance levels following its latest surge. She highlighted $2.69 as the major resistance, as this price level is also the .236 Fib retracement from the all-time high (ATH) and a key level to watch for a correction.  Related Reading: XRP Price To $1,000: Analyst Reveals Target For When Banks Start Using XRP Commenting on the current price action, she noted that what stands out is the continued price increase despite low momentum and a completed 5-wave count. The analyst remarked that this slow, controlled push higher often signals strong underlying demand, strong trend, and heavy accumulation.  CasiTrades stated that if the XRP price breaks and holds above $2.69, it would open the door for an explosive move toward $3. However, if the altcoin doesn’t hold this level, she claimed it could record a short-term dip toward $2.30 for a reset.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.50, up almost 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP has gained significant momentum over the past several days, posting a sharp 24% rally since last week as bullish sentiment returns to the broader crypto market. With Bitcoin holding above $100K and Ethereum reclaiming the $2,200 mark, altcoins like XRP are beginning to show strength after months of subdued performance. Analysts are now calling for a potential breakout, emphasizing the importance of XRP reclaiming key resistance levels in the coming days to confirm a sustained move higher. Related Reading: Ethereum Recovery Gains Strength: Massive Comeback Above Key Support Fueling this optimism is new data from Glassnode revealing a dramatic surge in XRP Futures Open Interest. The metric has climbed over $1 billion in just one week, rising from $2.42 billion to $3.42 billion—a 41.6% increase. This spike suggests a growing wave of speculative interest and directional conviction among traders. As leverage builds, all eyes are on XRP’s next move to determine whether this momentum can evolve into a full-blown rally. The rise in open interest alongside price appreciation often points to sustained bullish intent, adding weight to calls for a continued surge. With volatility returning to the altcoin market, XRP could be gearing up for one of its most critical breakouts in months. XRP Leads With Strong Momentum And Rising Leverage XRP is emerging as one of the strongest performers in the market, displaying remarkable resilience during recent downtrends and now showing clear strength in the current bullish environment. After consolidating through volatile conditions, XRP has surged above the $2.50 level, firmly positioning itself as a leader among large-cap altcoins. The price action remains tight, with bulls continuing to test the $2.60 zone while bears are unable to push the price below the new support levels formed near $2.35. This price compression, combined with broader market optimism, suggests that XRP may be gearing up for a major move. With Bitcoin consolidating near its all-time highs and Ethereum testing crucial resistance zones, analysts are paying close attention to XRP’s trajectory. The altcoin market is heating up, and XRP’s technical structure hints at a bullish expansion phase if current levels are maintained or reclaimed with volume. Supporting this bullish outlook is recent data from Glassnode, showing that XRP Futures Open Interest has soared by over $1 billion in the past week. It jumped from $2.42 billion to $3.42 billion—a 41.6% increase—coinciding with a price rally from $2.14 to $2.48. This surge in leverage underscores growing speculative interest and strong directional conviction among traders. Elevated open interest, particularly when paired with upward price movement, often signals sustained momentum and institutional participation. With XRP firmly above key support and showing signs of renewed investor confidence, the next few sessions could be pivotal for determining whether XRP will finally break out into a new macro trend. Related Reading: Ethereum Hits Major Level After Biggest Weekly Candle In Years – What Comes Next? Price Action Signals Strength Amid Market Momentum XRP is showing strong bullish momentum as it continues to trend higher, currently trading around $2.55. The chart reveals a well-established uptrend, with XRP recently breaking above key resistance levels and holding above both the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA), currently at $2.13 and $2.02, respectively. This alignment of moving averages below the current price reinforces the bullish structure. Over the past two weeks, XRP has surged more than 24%, confirming higher lows and higher highs in the process. After briefly stalling at $2.60, the price is now consolidating with low volatility just below that level—indicating potential for another breakout if buying pressure resumes. Volume also picked up significantly during the initial leg of this move, signaling strong interest from market participants.

XRP’s price action in the past seven days has been nothing short of impressive. The cryptocurrency reached above $2.6 again in the past 24 hours, the first time doing so since early March, about two months ago. This movement has aligned with the uptrend projected by multiple analysts, who are referencing Fibonacci levels to chart XRP’s future trajectory. Notably, a crypto analyst’s interesting outlook on social media platform X using Fibonacci levels suggests that XRP will reach $8.40 and $27 this cycle. Analyst Points To Fibonacci Targets At $8.40 and $27 XRP’s price structure in the current cycle has been significantly shaped by its breakout above a tightening wedge formation, which had compressed price action from 2021 through the early months of 2024. This formation, clearly visible on the monthly candlestick timeframe, served as a multi-year consolidation zone that capped upward momentum and defined a range-bound market.  Related Reading: XRP Price At $9 In September: Gann Angle Resistance Grid Predicts Surge The eventual breakout from this structure ended a prolonged bear market and began a fresh bullish phase. Although the past few months have been full of corrections and consolidations after XRP reached $3.31 in January, recent market momentum points to the next leg upward. A crypto analyst on social media platform X has pointed to two Fibonacci extension levels that could serve as the target zones during XRP’s next impulsive wave up. According to the analysis, XRP reached both its 1.272 and 1.618 Fibonacci extension targets in the last cycle after breaking from a similar multi-year wedge accumulation structure in 2017. Interestingly, this move in 2017, leading up to the current price action, is part of the same Elliott wave count structure. As shown in the chart, XRP launched from a low of $0.00310 in 2017 to an all-time high of $3.40 in 2018 during its third wave (labeled (3)), hitting both Fibonacci extension levels of 1.272 and 1.618 before retracing in wave four.  According to the analyst, the current price action since 2020 constitutes the formation of the fifth impulse wave. Applying the same extension logic to the current structure from the 2020 low of $0.11379, a move to these Fibonacci extensions points to a target of $8.40 at 1.272 and $27.23 at the 1.618 extension. XRP To Reach $8.40 Or Even $27 This Market Cycle? Whether XRP can realistically surge to $8.40 or even $27 during this market cycle is yet to be seen. Although the 2017 to 2018 rally where XRP climbed over 1,000% in a matter of weeks offers a compelling case, market conditions today are more complex. The amount of inflows and trading volume needed to push the XRP price to such levels would be far greater than those witnessed before.  Related Reading: XRP Price Cross That Led To 20x Rally In 2017 Returns However, from a technical perspective, these Fibonacci targets can be reached when considering how similar price structures have behaved in the past. An example is the rally from $0.00310 to over $3.40 in 2017. One similar analysis from crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggests that the XRP price could reach $15 very soon. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.50, up by 3.4% in the past 24 hours with an intraday high of $2.61. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP price action on lower timeframes, specifically under the 4-hour mark, remains notably uncertain, with erratic fluctuations and a lack of clear directional bias. However, a deeper analysis reveals that the broader structure on the 4-hour chart is offering more constructive insights. Despite the choppy short-term moves, the 4-hour timeframe maintains a bullish formation, suggesting that underlying momentum may be building.  The Bigger Picture For XRP A key insight shared by market analyst Andrew Griffiths suggests that a decisive move toward the bullish order block between 2.3907 and 2.3277, coupled with strong bearish momentum, could indicate the early signs of a structural breakdown. Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes Breakout: Can It Shatter Resistance and Reignite the Rally? In his recent post on X, Griffiths emphasized that this price zone has historically acted as a significant area of demand, where buyers typically step in to defend support. However, if sellers dominate this region and the price fails to hold, it could signal a shift in market dynamics, potentially invalidating the current bullish setup. Despite this technical vulnerability, the overall crypto market sentiment continues to lean bullish. Bitcoin’s dominance remains firm, while the TOTAL2 chart, which reflects the performance of altcoins excluding Bitcoin, maintains a bullish market structure.  These broader trends support the idea that current weakness may be a temporary shakeout rather than the start of a deeper reversal. As such, price action around the order block is key, as it could serve as a turning point in the days ahead. Trade Setup: Waiting for Confirmation at Key Levels Andrew Griffiths outlined a strategic trading approach centered around the 4-hour bullish order block between 2.3907 and 2.3277. According to Griffiths, a price test of this zone, if accompanied by weak bearish momentum, could present a favorable buying opportunity.  Related Reading: Analyst Says These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $1,000, But What Does Market Cap Say? This aligns with his personal trading methodology, which focuses on identifying high-probability entries where price reacts to key levels with signs of exhaustion from the opposing side. For traders looking to capitalize on potential long setups, this zone may serve as an ideal area for entry, provided certain conditions align. Signs such as decreasing sell volume, long lower wicks (indicating rejection), or bullish candlestick formations within or just above the zone may act as confirmation of weakening bearish pressure.  Griffiths also emphasizes the importance of waiting for a clear reaction, rather than preemptively entering a position, to reduce the risk of a deeper breakdown. A well-placed stop-loss just below the lower boundary of the order block (2.3277) could offer a favorable risk-reward ratio, especially if the broader trend resumes to the upside.

XRP price found support at $2.250 and started a fresh increase. The price is now correcting gains from $2.650 and testing the $2.420 support zone. XRP price started a fresh increase above the $2.50 zone. The price is now trading above $2.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bullish trend line forming with support at $2.4350 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 $2.550 resistance. XRP Price Dips To Support XRP price remained supported above the $2.250 level and started a fresh upward wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to surpass the $2.350 and $2.40 levels. The bulls pushed the price above the $2.50 resistance zone to set the pace for more gains. Finally, it tested the $2.650 zone. A high was formed at $2.6560 before there was a pullback. The price dipped below $2.50 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.3310 swing low to the $2.6560 high. However, the bulls are active above $2.40. The price is now trading above $2.420 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $2.4350 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.4950 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.550 level. The next resistance is $2.600. A clear move above the $2.60 resistance might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.720 resistance or even $2.7450 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.80. Another Decline? If XRP fails to clear the $2.550 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.4350 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $2.40 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.40 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.350 support. The next major support sits near the $2.320 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 below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.4350 and $2.40. Major Resistance Levels – $2.50 and $2.550.

An analyst has explained how XRP could end up targeting the $15 mark if this pattern is the governing one behind the latest price breakout. XRP Was Trading Inside A Symmetrical Triangle Earlier In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about where XRP could be heading next based on a technical analysis (TA) pattern. The pattern in question is a Symmetrical Triangle, which forms when an asset consolidates between two trendlines approaching each other at a roughly equal and opposite slope. Related Reading: New Bitcoin Whales Sitting On 185% Higher Cost Basis Than HODLer Whales, Data Shows The top line of the triangle connects together successive lower highs in the price, and the bottom one higher lows. Like with other TA consolidation patterns, the former trendline is likely to provide resistance during a retest, while the latter one supports. A break out of either of these lines can imply a continuation of the trend in that direction. Naturally, an escape above the triangle is bullish, while a fall under it is bearish. As the price consolidates inside a Symmetrical Triangle, its range gets narrower with time, until it shrinks to a point at the apex. Thus, as the asset travels toward the end of the triangle, it can become more likely to find a breakout. The Symmetrical Triangle isn’t the only type of triangle that exists in TA. Two other popular variations are the Ascending and Descending Triangles, which emerge when one of the trendlines is parallel to the time-axis. As the names of these patterns already suggest, they involve consolidation toward a net upside and downside, respectively. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the Symmetrical Triangle that XRP was potentially trading inside for years before a breakout: As displayed in the above graph, XRP was nearing the apex of this long-term Symmetrical Triangle last year, meaning a breakout was becoming probable. And indeed, with the bull rally during the last couple of months of the year, the coin managed to find a break above the pattern. Related Reading: Bitcoin Derivatives In The Driver’s Seat For $100,000 Rally, Data Shows Generally, breakouts resulting from a triangular pattern are assumed to be of the same length as the height of the triangle itself. Based on the height of this Symmetrical Triangle, a potential bullish target could lie at around $15 for the cryptocurrency. Naturally, this target would only hold if the trajectory that XRP is currently following is truly based on this Symmetrical Triangle. In the scenario that the pattern does end up being the governing one and the coin observes a bull run to this level, it would have seen an increase of more than 500% from the current price. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $2.45, up around 3% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, charts from TradingView.com

Following the XRP price’s stellar performance in the current bull cycle, a crypto analyst has now predicted that the value of the third-largest cryptocurrency could soon soar to $10 or more in 2025. This bullish projection is backed by several key factors expected to drive strong demand and boost global adoption.  Factors That Could Push XRP Price To $10 Unlike past cycles, when XRP pumped toward the tail end of the bull market, this time, it has emerged as one of the top-performing altcoins early on. Expanding on this impressive performance, X (formerly Twitter) crypto analyst and XRP supporter Edo Farina has shared a video analysis of the cryptocurrency, predicting the token’s potential price outlook and outlining different factors that could drive this surge.  Related Reading: Analyst Says These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $1,000, But What Does Market Cap Say? The analyst has highlighted the influence of Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D), which he sees as a critical indicator for altcoin movements. According to him, BTC.D currently remains relatively high. However, historically, the dominance dropped from 40% to 30%, marking the onset of the altcoin season. This expected drop in Bitcoin’s Dominance could serve as the trigger for a broader altcoin market breakout, positioning the XRP price for a potential 4X rally from current levels. According to Farina, a 4X jump from $2.39 could easily propel XRP toward the $10 mark.  Key to this optimism and bullish outlook is the recent resolution of the lawsuit between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple. With legal battles seemingly behind it, XRP is no longer classified as a security in the US, giving Ripple the green light to offer the token to financial institutions. Farina has suggested that this newfound regulatory clarity is expected to bolster investor confidence and lay the groundwork for global adoption. Achieving a $10 price point will also require more than a shift in market sentiment. Farina explains that it will depend heavily on XRP’s integration into the global financial system. The analyst argues that XRP must become the cornerstone, especially in cross-border payments and Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. Ripple has already taken significant steps in this direction, reportedly playing a role in the roll-out of the digital Euro.  Ripple is also making strategic acquisitions, such as its acquisition of Hidden Road and the potential  purchase of Circle, which could exponentially expand its influence in traditional finance. The analyst further notes that the possible launch of XRP ETFs could significantly impact the token’s price dynamics. If approved by the SEC and more ETFs hit the market, investor demand is expected to skyrocket, potentially driving prices toward or even beyond $10 in 2025. How Much Will 1,000 XRP Be Worth In 2025? In his analysis, Farina estimated how much 1,000 XRP could be worth in 2025 if its price surges to $10 and above. At $10, a modest holding of 1,000 XRP would be worth $10,000.  Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Bullish Path To $5 As Long As This Level Holds If financial adoption accelerates as Farina projects, XRP could climb well beyond $10, potentially reaching $100. In that scenario, a 1,000 XRP bag could soar to $100,000 profit, potentially offering life-changing returns for long-term investors. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP price found support at $2.20 and started a fresh increase. The price is now gaining pace and might clear the $2.40 resistance zone. XRP price started a fresh increase above the $2.250 zone. The price is now trading above $2.30 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a short-term rising channel forming with support at $2.3650 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 $2.420 resistance. XRP Price Eyes More Gains XRP price remained supported above the $2.220 level and started a fresh upward wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to surpass the $2.250 and $2.320 levels. The bulls pushed the price above the $2.350 resistance zone to set the pace for more gains. Finally, it tested the $2.475 zone. A high was formed at $2.4752 before there was a pullback. The price dipped below $2.40 and tested $2.330.  It is again rising with a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.4752 swing high to the $2.3310 low. The price is now trading above $2.350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a short-term rising channel forming with support at $2.3650 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.40 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.4752 swing high to the $2.3310 low. The first major resistance is near the $2.420 level. The next resistance is $2.480. A clear move above the $2.450 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?

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 – $2.3650 and $2.320. Major Resistance Levels – $2.420 and $2.480.

XRP prices moved by almost 3% in the past day as the crypto market bounce continues. However, the prominent altcoin remains in danger of significant market downside. According to renowned X market expert Crypto Egrag, XRP must close above certain price levels to invalidate this bearish pattern and validate its bullish trajectory. Related Reading: Major XRP Accumulation Alert: Wallets Holding Over 10,000 Coins Cross 300,000 XRP Faces Critical Resistance At $2.41-$2.45, But $2.96 Represents Ultimate Challenge  In a recent series of X posts, Egrag Crypto has previously stated that XRP was at a major crossroads facing a pivotal breakout or a potential retest. In line with the crypto market, XRP has seen a sustained price rebound since mid-April, gaining by 35.95%. However, Egrag Crypto warns that the altcoin is facing major resistance at the price range between $2.41-$2.45, which aligns with the descending trend line of the market correction that had dominated the first quarter of 2025. To strengthen the bullish case of its recent breakout, the analyst explains that XRP must move and stay above this price resistance, thereby neutralizing the bearish outlook. If XRP fails to make a convincing breakout above $2.41-$2.45 and slips into consolidation, the altcoin faces the potential of a retest to around $1.2-$1.3, representing a potential 46.05% decline from today’s price. However, the analyst explains that such a retest would only provide a massive accumulation opportunity as the long-term outlook for XRP still remains bullish.  In a following post on May 10, Egrag Crypto states XRP must also reclaim the $2.96 price zone to confirm a sustainable uptrend. Notably, the $2.96 price level represents the next major price resistance after the descending trendline and is the closest to the current local market top. Related Reading: Bitcoin Advanced NVT Sits Above This Critical Threshold — What It Means For Price Action XRP Market Overview At press time, XRP is trading at $2.41, reflecting a 2.77% gain in the past day. On larger time frames, the altcoin holders are in significant profits as indicated by gains of 10.17% and 23.37% on the weekly and monthly charts, respectively.  Generally, the market sentiment among XRP investors remains bullish, especially following recent developments in the legal case between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  On May 8, the SEC announced a settlement that includes the return of $75 million held in escrow to Ripple, which comes months after the Commission signaled its intentions to terminate its appeal case against the blockchain company. With a market cap of $241.95 billion, XRP remains the fourth-largest cryptocurrency and third-largest altcoin in the digital asset space. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview

XRP is turning heads again following an impressive show of resilience in recent days, bouncing from lows of $2.08 earlier this week to reclaim $2.4 at the time of writing. This upward momentum, now clocking over 15% gains from its test of the $2 support, has brought with it an interesting historical pattern on XRP’s daily chart. A comparison of XRP’s current price structure with its 2017 trajectory shows that a rare setup may be indicating a massive breakout is on the horizon, with a price target as high as $9. Related Reading: 3.5 Million TRUMP Tokens On The Move—Trump Team Makes A Big Play XRP Price Flashes 1D Death Cross Signal, But Price History Suggests A Twist On the surface, a death cross has appeared on the XRP daily candlestick timeframe chart. This sort of cross occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, and would typically be interpreted as a bearish sign. However, according to a crypto analyst on the TradingView platform, this might not be the case for XRP.  A closer look at historical precedent from 2017 suggests that this technical signal may not be as bad for XRP as it sounds. Back then, XRP exhibited nearly identical behavior of trading within a descending triangle just before the death cross occurred. That moment marked a deceptive shift, as XRP’s price action quickly flipped direction and exploded to the upside. Within weeks of the 2017 death cross, XRP went on to hit the 1.5 Fibonacci extension zone, delivering returns in excess of 1,350% from its pre-breakout level of $0.23 up until its current all-time high of $3.4. XRP has again spent months consolidating within a tight descending triangle in the 2025 setup leading up to the current death cross which is the first in over a year. Despite the bearish implications of the death cross, the parallels in chart structure with the 2017 pattern and timing have made this formation a bullish wildcard. A similar playout of the 2017 death cross rally would send the XRP price to new all-time highs at the 1.5 Fibonacci extension. In terms of a price target, the analyst noted that the 1.5 Fibonacci extension for this year aligns near the $9.00 price level, which would represent a 325% rally from XRP’s current price. XRP 2017 Price Chart: Image From TradingViewXRP 2025 Price Chart: Image From TradingView Indicators Stay Neutral But Optimistic Notably, the XRP price has a neutral but promising technical outlook across higher timeframes. XRP holds a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 54.799 on the weekly timeframe. This is mid-range and shows there’s still plenty of room to climb before XRP becomes overbought. The MACD reading at 0.197 indicates mild upward pressure, while the ADX is at 30.423.  Related Reading: Taiwan Official Proposes Bitcoin As Part Of National Reserve Strategy At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.38.

XRP is now trading above the $2.35 mark, gaining momentum as bulls aim to break through critical resistance on the way to a potential all-time high. This move comes as the broader crypto market enters a new bullish phase, with Bitcoin soaring past $100K and Ethereum reclaiming the $2,200 zone in a sharp rally. XRP, long viewed as lagging behind majors, now shows notable relative strength compared to other altcoins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Entry Prices Diverge Sharply – Confidence Builds At Higher Levels Analysts are turning their focus to XRP as it attempts to sustain this breakout, with some calling for a rally that could finally close the gap toward previous cycle highs. Supporting the bullish case is new on-chain data from Santiment, revealing that XRP whales have returned aggressively, accumulating over 880 million tokens in the past month alone. This surge in accumulation by large holders suggests growing confidence in XRP’s trajectory and is often a signal that smart money is positioning early ahead of a major move. If current momentum holds and XRP clears its immediate resistance levels, it could be set for a powerful continuation. All eyes are now on the $2.50–$2.80 range, where market dynamics could accelerate rapidly. XRP Builds Strength As Whales Accumulate And Momentum Rises XRP is now standing out as one of the most resilient assets in the crypto market, showing notable strength during recent uptrends and consistent support through broader market corrections. Currently trading above the $2.00 level, XRP is positioned at a critical point where bullish and bearish forces are clashing. The broader market is also heating up, with Bitcoin trading above $100K and Ethereum holding the $2,200 zone after a breakout. XRP’s relative strength, however, is what’s catching the attention of analysts and traders. According to top analyst Ali Martinez, on-chain data reveals that whales have accumulated over 880 million XRP tokens in the past month. This level of accumulation is typically a bullish signal and suggests that large players are positioning themselves ahead of a possible rally. Still, macroeconomic uncertainty lingers in the background. With ongoing trade tensions between the US and China and an increasingly sensitive global financial environment, investor sentiment remains fragile. If Bitcoin holds its ground and altcoin momentum persists, XRP could be one of the top beneficiaries. As XRP continues to trade near a pivotal range, the coming days will be essential in determining the next phase. A decisive move above $2.35 could open the door to a strong upward expansion, while holding support above $2.00 will be crucial to prevent a retracement. Backed by whale activity and growing interest from traders, XRP is once again on the radar as a potential leader in the next leg of the crypto bull cycle. Related Reading: Ethereum Breaks Key Resistance In One Massive Move – Higher High Confirms Momentum Price Tests Breakout Zone As It Pushes Above Resistance XRP is showing promising momentum after breaking above the $2.35 level and now trades at $2.36, signaling renewed bullish strength. This move comes as XRP tests the upper range of a consolidation structure that has been forming since late March. The price action is supported by a consistent uptrend of higher lows, which is now pressing against long-standing resistance. The 200-day SMA ($2.10) and EMA ($2.00) both remain below the current price, reinforcing the strength of the ongoing trend. Volume has increased notably over the past few sessions, a sign that buyers are stepping in with confidence. A decisive daily close above $2.38–$2.40 would confirm a breakout and open the path toward retesting the previous highs around $3.00 and potentially new all-time highs. Conversely, a rejection here could lead to another retest of the ascending trendline around $2.15.

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 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.
