What’s Next for XRP, ADA, and BTC Prices?

Story Highlights
  • Bitcoin Rebounds Above $100K Amid Conflict News: Despite Iran ceasefire tensions, Bitcoin regains momentum, with analysts eyeing $120K.

  • XRP and Cardano Poised for Breakout: ETF hopes, Ripple–Cardano DeFi bridge, and the Midnight airdrop boost bullish sentiment for both tokens.

The crypto market started strong today, as Bitcoin jumped past $106K and altcoins followed with strong gains. But prices pulled back slightly after Iran broke the ceasefire deal. Still, the market remains in the green, with XRP and Cardano holding onto impressive 7–9% gains.

Popular analyst Michaël van de Poppe says that Bitcoin has officially flipped the trend. After a major crash below $100K, BTC is now back on an uptrend, breaking past $103K and hitting resistance.

Crypto Rover has pointed out how Bitcoin reacted to U.S.-Iran conflicts in the past. If the conflict de-escalates again, Bitcoin could be setting up for another strong rally.

Bitcoin Shows Strength

Analysts are doubling down on their $120,000 target for Bitcoin this year, and recent developments make that case even stronger. Bitcoin has shown resilience above $100K despite geopolitical tensions. Falling oil prices and Fed rate cut expectations in July are also boosting investor confidence.

XRP: Breakout Ahead with ETF Hopes and DeFi Expansion

XRP is at a major turning point. Institutional interest is picking up, and XRP ETF odds are higher than ever. Meanwhile, the long-standing Ripple vs. SEC case is finally coming to a resolution. These two catalysts alone could fuel a major rally.

To top it all, Ripple is teaming up with Cardano to bring XRP into DeFi. Through cross-chain bridges and Lace wallet support, XRP holders could soon earn rewards, including NIGHT tokens from Cardano’s upcoming airdrop. 

With all this lining up, XRP could be on the verge of its biggest breakout in years. In previous cycles, XRP hovered around $0.50 before exploding 6x to $3 in just six weeks. We could see a similar move ahead. 

Cardano’s Midnight Could Be the Breakout Catalyst

Cardano could finally have the catalyst it needs to break out: Midnight. This new protocol is built directly on Cardano and fully relies on it for security, governance, and token movement. The upcoming NIGHT token airdrop is huge, with 50% of the supply going to ADA holders

If Midnight succeeds, analysts believe that the token could quickly become a top 25 project, and that momentum would directly boost Cardano’s value.

Charles Hoskinson also confirmed that the Lace wallet, which already supports ADA and BTC, will soon support XRP too. He is also working on a cross-chain bridge between XRP and Midnight’s sidechain. Also, the odds for a Cardano ETF approval in 2025 have jumped to 71%. All these signs show that Cardano is gaining momentum, and a breakout could be next.

Looking ahead to Q4, the Fed rate cuts and more liquidity could spark the next big crypto rally. If global tensions cool and central banks ease up, Bitcoin, XRP, and Cardano could be ready to rise again.
