XRP may be entering its most explosive phase in years, according to crypto analyst CryptoInsightUK, who on July 31 released a sweeping technical breakdown that suggests the token’s breakout from a six-year consolidation range could soon send prices to $15—and potentially beyond. “This is just the start,” he said, arguing that the recent monthly close confirms structural strength that has been building quietly over the last two market cycles. XRP Flashes Bullish Signal—Next Stop: $15? In a video analysis posted to YouTube, the analyst highlighted XRP’s rare technical alignment on the monthly chart, pointing to its sustained break above the 2018 all-time high and an upcoming potential for new highs. His base case targets a move to between $8.70 and $15 in the short-to-medium term, based on historical measured moves and momentum structure. “If we just did a measured move like the last move, it could take us as far out as $15,” he said. “I don’t think that’s unreasonable.” Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Now In Wave 4 — What To Expect Supporting the bullish case is a technical signal many market watchers have overlooked: a return of XRP’s monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) to the overbought zone, historically a precursor to parabolic rallies. In the 2017 cycle, a similar RSI pattern preceded a move of over 700%, and even a “conservative” repeat could lift XRP to well above $10, he explained. “If we make a higher high on the monthly RSI here, to me that doesn’t indicate the move is over,” he said, emphasizing that momentum indicators remain firmly in bullish territory. He also drew attention to XRP’s relative strength versus Bitcoin, calling its position on the XRP/BTC chart “such a crucial place.” After bouncing from key support levels, XRP/BTC is closing the month significantly higher than nearly all months in recent years. “We’re going to be closing above everything apart from the last couple of months,” he observed. “It’s strong. It’s showing strength.” Looking at XRP dominance—a measure of XRP’s market cap share relative to the rest of crypto—CryptoInsightUK noted the token is holding the midpoint of a range formed on top of what he calls the “sign of strength” phase. “We’ve created this range on top of Wyckoff accumulation… Things are looking good there too,” he said. He further analyzed XRP futures premiums, noting that the negative premium since July 24 resembles the setup before XRP’s last major rally from $0.50 to $2.60. “We actually went red for a bit and that was when we found our lows,” he said. “Then as we broke out of this zone, we went back to being green… and that coincided with the start of the rally.” Related Reading: XRP Blows Cold: Price Crash To $2.15 Still Possible If Buyers Falter The chart structure, momentum indicators, and liquidity maps all point to a scenario where XRP could move sharply higher with relatively minor catalysts. The analyst emphasized that this does not necessarily mean a straight line up, but rather an aggressive trend formation after years of accumulation. “If you actually take a zoomed out perspective on the XRP chart, $15 doesn’t look ridiculous,” he said. “Yes, this is logarithmic, but it really doesn’t.” He also warned against dismissing high-end projections like $27 or even $50 out of hand, referencing past patterns in both price and RSI. “I’m not suggesting we do that in a month,” he said, “but I don’t think we should rule it out either.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.92.

Coinbase’s Bitcoin premium has dropped into negative territory for the first time since May. This development is bearish for the flagship crypto as it suggests that demand from the U.S. may be waning. Coinbase Bitcoin Premium In The Red CryptoQuant data shows that the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index is at -0.00254829, marking the first time it has been in the red since May 29, when it was at -0.01626105. This Index tracks the difference between the Bitcoin price on Coinbase and the Bitcoin price on Binance. It is also used to gauge the spot demand for BTC from institutional and retail investors in the U.S. Related Reading: Finance Author Warns Of Great Depression Style Crash, Is Bitcoin The Answer? As such, this development suggests that the demand for BTC among U.S. investors is currently low. This is significant considering that Bitcoin rallies to new highs have coincided with the Coinbase premium being in positive territory. This highlights how much demand from the U.S. contributes to BTC’s uptrend. In recent times, this demand has mainly come from the Bitcoin ETFs, with Coinbase acting as a custodian for eight out of the eleven spot BTC funds. Notably, the drop in the Coinbase Bitcoin premium coincides with the drop in the net inflows and increase in outflows from these funds. SoSo Value data shows that these funds recorded net outflows of $114.83 million on July 31. Before now, they had also gone on a 3-day streak of consecutive net outflows between July 21 and 23. This indicates a wave of profit-taking among these investors, especially following the recent Bitcoin rally to a new all-time high (ATH) of $123,000. In an X post, CryptoQuant also confirmed this wave of profit-taking. The platform revealed that Bitcoin just saw its third major profit-taking wave of this bull run. Realized profits spiked to between $6 and $8 billion in late July, similar to March and December 2024 peaks. CryptoQuant added that it was new whales who led the selling above $120,000. New Investor Dominance Is Growing With Market In Stable Condition In a CryptoQuant on-chain analysis, analyst Axel revealed that new investor dominance is growing and that the market is still stable in this late Bitcoin bull cycle phase. He alluded to the demand and supply between new and old investors metric and noted that the peaks of 64% in March 2024 and 72% in December 2024 coincided with local price maximums. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Market Is Over? Analyst Calls 50% Crash To $60,000 The analyst noted that during those periods, the influx of new liquidity into Bitcoin was exhausted, and old holders began actively taking profits. However, this time is different, as the current value of the demand and supply between new and old investors is 30%, which is only half of the overheated levels. Axel added that the trend is directed upward as the cumulative activity of young coins has been steadily growing since July 2024. The analyst remarked that this indicates that a notable layer of new buyers is entering the Bitcoin market. Meanwhile, pressure from the old holders is not yet critical. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $115,550, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
