XRP Price News, Predictions and Targets Revealed

  • currency-symbol XRP $ 2.27 (8.10%) top gainer
Story Highlights
  • XRP spikes over 7% as ETF optimism and SEC leadership shift fuel hopes of legal resolution and a potential bullish breakout.

  • Analysts see XRP hitting up to $27.50 by 2026, citing strong patterns, ETF buzz, and Ripple case momentum as key bullish drivers.

The global crypto market cap has surged to $2.93 trillion, marking a 6.29% increase in the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin edging closer to the $95,000 mark. Altcoins are riding the wave too, with most of the top 10 recording strong gains.ย 

Sentiment across the crypto space is shifting, and a key development came on Tuesday, April 22, as SEC Chair Paul Atkins pledged to protect investors from fraud, keep politics out of financial regulation, and lay a solid foundation for digital asset oversight. Investors are now hopeful that Atkins will help bring an end to the long-running Ripple case by dropping the SECโ€™s appeal.ย 

XRP Shoots Up Over 6%

XRP jumped over 6% on April 22, reaching a high of $2.25, driven by growing curiosity around Rippleโ€™s legal battle and a spike in crypto ETF applications. These factors could help XRP reach its all-time high of $3.55, though prices might still swing between $1.70 and $3 due to volatility. 

Furthermore, 12 XRP ETF applications are being reviewed. Big names like BlackRock and Vanguard havenโ€™t filed yet. Analysts believe the SEC could approve several XRP ETFs at once, similar to how it handled Bitcoin ETFs. A decision is expected within the next 180 days.

XRP Set for Major Breakout?

Crypto analyst Dark Defender believes that XRP is almost nearing the end of its Wave 4 correction and could be on the verge of a strong bull run. He explained that XRP recently hit a key target of $2.1937 as expected and bounced back, hinting that the wave structure is playing out. He urges traders to watch $1.8815 as a critical support level, while $2.22 and $2.40 are the key resistance points to break for a bigger move upward.

The analyst believes that XRP’s long consolidation is now over and it is closer to an extreme bull run. XRP is currently trading at $2.24, up over 7.8% in the past day.ย Popular analyst Ali Martinez also shared that XRP may be forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern, which could lead to a bullish breakout to $2.70.

Another analyst Diana predicts that XRP could hit $25 as early as January 2026 pointing to the strong historical price trends and the positive catalysts.ย 

She has three possible scenarios for XRP depending on how key factors turn out. In a slow-growth case, it could rise to $10, with a 300% gain. If conditions are more favorable, it could soar 600% to $17.50. And in the most bullish scenario, it could surge to $27.50, a massive 1,000% increase.
