XRP News: What Bull Run Targets Reveal About Ripple Price

Published by

XRP is approaching a moment that could define its next market phase. The token is trading near a long-standing resistance level that, if cleared, would mean a renewed advance in the broader bull cycle. 

Chart experts say a sustained move above this zone could open the door to prices in the $7 to $10 range, levels that once seemed unrealistic but are now back in serious discussion.

Some price projections extend well beyond those initial targets. Using long-term wave-based market structure, XRP’s price action continues to point higher before any meaningful correction. On this view, XRP could climb into the $20 to $40 range during the current cycle, followed by a prolonged cooling-off period. The emphasis here is not on short-term catalysts, but on how price has behaved across multiple cycles.

A long history, a changing pattern

XRP’s trading history stretches back more than a decade, giving it one of the longest price records in crypto. That longevity has resulted in extended periods of sideways movement, often mistaken for stagnation. In market terms, however, such behavior can mean deep accumulation, where ownership gradually consolidates ahead of a larger move.

Recent price behavior supports that interpretation. After a sharp rally last year, XRP did not return to its historical median range, as it did in prior cycles. Instead, it established a higher trading floor and has held it for an extended period. This marks a notable shift from earlier bull markets, where gains were quickly erased once momentum faded.

Near-term uncertainty, broader upside

In the short run, XRP remains locked in a wide range as buyers and sellers test each other’s resolve. A temporary retreat toward lower levels cannot be ruled out. Even so, the broader structure remains constructive as long as the price holds above the $1 area. The market appears to be consolidating rather than distributing.

Two broad paths now stand out. One envisions a strong but conventional bull run, with XRP topping out in the $30 to $40 zone. The other, more aggressive scenario hints that if the current cycle extends longer than expected, prices well above $100 become mathematically possible, though far from certain.

For now, XRP’s direction hinges on a single question: whether it can decisively clear resistance. Until that level gives way, the market remains in a holding pattern. If it does, the next phase of XRP’s price history may already be waiting.
