A 30% rise in investor interest. That is part of what Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg is predicting for XRP before December, on top of a price that he believes could double from where it stands today. Related Reading: New Bitcoin Lows? Analysts Say Chances Are ‘Extremely Slim’ The Road To Year End McClurg, who leads one of the first firms to file for a spot XRP exchange-traded fund in the US, laid out a three-phase path he expects the market to follow over the rest of 2026. The near term, he said, will be rough. Summer is expected to bring pressure across both equities and crypto broadly, and the lead-up to midterm elections will pull attention and money away from markets. But McClurg’s outlook shifts sharply once the election season passes. He said post-midterm conditions are where ETF inflows are likely to accelerate, driven in part by the potential passage of the CLARITY Act and growing activity around real-world asset tokenization. Institutional investors, he suggested, have been waiting for that kind of regulatory clarity before committing larger sums. ETF Inflows Already Building The timing of his comments follows a strong week for XRP ETFs. Net inflows hit $60 million last week, the best single-week performance so far in 2026, pushing the total cumulative figure to $1.39 billion. McClurg said he expects that number to grow another 30% by year end. XRP is trading around $1.40 at the time the comments were made. A doubling of that price by December would put the token above $2.80. Whether or not the prediction holds, the inflow data points to real and growing institutional appetite for XRP exposure through regulated fund products. Related Reading: Bitcoin Treasury Company Nakamoto Takes Action To Prevent Stock Slide A Specific Target With A Specific Timeline McClurg did not hedge his outlook with vague language. He put a number on it and attached a deadline. That kind of precision from a fund executive with direct skin in the XRP market tends to draw attention, and his comments are already circulating widely. The broader bet he is making rests on a combination of regulatory progress, post-election capital rotation, and continued ETF adoption. All three would need to show up more or less on schedule for his year-end target to come true. Summer, by his own admission, will test that thesis before the second half of the year gets a chance to prove it right. Featured image from iStock/3DSculptor, chart from TradingView

Hyperliquid’s HYPE token has surged 55% in a single week and delivered more than 130% in year-to-date returns — but prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez (@alicharts) is warning that the asset is now approaching a critical resistance zone with multiple technical indicators flashing sell signals simultaneously, a setup he says could trigger a retracement toward $40 if momentum fades at current levels. Related Reading: XRP Sees 4th-Largest Wallet Growth Spike Of 2026, Santiment Says In a post on X, Martinez laid out the technical case with precision. Three converging signals are appearing on HYPE at the same time: the TD Sequential Combo 13 sell signal is already active, a standard green 9 sell signal could confirm as early as the next session, and both the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Chande Momentum Oscillator are sitting at historically elevated — or overheated — levels, per the analyst’s analysis. HYPE's price trends to the upside following a surge in institutional adoption, as seen on the daily chart. Source: HYPEUSD on Tradingview Why The Setup Concerns Martinez The significance of the current configuration lies in precedent. According to Martinez’s post, the last two occasions when TD Sequential sell signals appeared on HYPE while the RSI and Chande Momentum Oscillator were simultaneously at overheated levels, both instances led to significant corrections. The analyst is not pointing to isolated indicators — he is pointing to a specific combination of signals that has already proven consequential twice in HYPE’s relatively short price history. HYPE's price entering a dangerous area if the asset can't sustain its current bullish momentum, as seen on the TD Sequential Indicator. Source: Ali Martinez on X The analyst does leave room for one final push before any reversal materializes. HYPE could still push toward $59 or even slightly above $60 before momentum fades, he notes — but frames that move as a potential exhaustion run rather than the beginning of a new leg higher. If rejection comes from the $59–$60 area, a retracement toward approximately $40 becomes increasingly likely, per his assessment. That would represent a pullback of roughly 33% from the upper resistance zone — meaningful, but consistent with the corrections that followed the previous two sell signal setups he references. ZCash Flashing A Similar Warning Martinez also flagged ZCash in the same post, noting a comparable technical structure after a 40%-plus weekly surge. ZCash is approaching the same resistance zone that triggered a major rejection in November — around the $700–$730 area — with the TD Sequential now flashing a sell signal on the weekly chart. Because the signal appears on the weekly timeframe, Martinez warns the potential correction could be substantially larger, with first downside support near $500 and a deeper retracement potentially reaching $380. The parallel between the two assets is notable given that BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes has publicly disclosed large positions in both HYPE and ZCash — with a $150 HYPE target and a $10,000 long-term ZCash target — making the current resistance zone a critical test of two of his highest-conviction calls simultaneously. Related Reading: New Bitcoin Lows? Analysts Say Chances Are ‘Extremely Slim’ As of this writing, HYPE trades at around $56, consolidating just below the critical $59–$60 resistance zone that Martinez has identified as the make-or-break level for the near-term price trajectory.
