Other Experts See XRP Rallying to $5 in the Near Term
Other market analysts have also maintained a bullish stance on XRP’s price action. Dark Defender, a crypto analyst, suggested an initial price target of $2.42, with further momentum expected if XRP surpasses the Ichimoku cloud resistance. He pointed out support levels at $2.22 and $2.04 while projecting an extended rally toward $5.85.
Rose Premium Signals also provided an optimistic outlook, indicating that XRP is breaking out of a descending channel. Their analysis suggests an entry range between $2.20 and $2.40, with near-term targets set at $2.60, $2.85, and $3.10.
Mid-term projections place the token at $3.36 and $3.87, with a stop-loss set at $2.00. These analysts agree that XRP’s price action could shift significantly in the coming months if key resistance levels are cleared.
Market Conditions and Institutional Interest in XRP
XRP’s price movement comes amid a 1.8% drop to $2.33 despite a 60% surge in trading volume to $4.21 billion. CoinGlass data also reported a 5% decline in XRP Futures Open Interest to $3.17 billion.
Meanwhile, institutional interest continues to grow. Franklin Templeton, a firm managing $1.5 trillion in assets, recently applied for an XRP-linked exchange-traded fund (ETF). This follows similar filings by Bitwise and 21Shares, indicating a rising institutional focus on XRP.
Veteran trader John Bollinger also weighed in on XRP’s resilience. In a recent post, he referenced Greek mythology, stating that XRP had resisted the market’s downward trends. His comments mark his first public remarks on XRP since 2018. Last month, Bollinger refuted claims of Bitcoin entering a bear market, reinforcing his measured market outlook.
Despite the recent decline, XRP is at the center of a new proposal that could impact the U.S. financial system and the crypto market. The proposal was submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As mentioned in our previous news brief, the proposal suggests that XRP could unlock $1.5 trillion in liquidity, enabling large-scale Bitcoin purchases and boosting U.S. Bitcoin reserves.
If approved, this move could streamline global financial transactions and enhance the efficiency of government payments. However, the SEC’s decision on XRP’s status remains a crucial factor, with two possible implementation paths under consideration.
