XRP Price Prediction, Elliot Wave Analysis And More For May 2025

Ripple’s native token, XRP, has been moving sideways in recent days, with analysts watching closely for signs of a breakout or breakdown. While the broader crypto market is experiencing some selling pressure, XRP has managed to hold its key support levels, but its future direction remains uncertain.

Short-term Price Analysis

On the short-term chart, XRP appears to have formed a low around April 7th. However, all subsequent rallies from that point have been corrective, featuring messy, overlapping, three-wave moves rather than clean impulse waves.

Support at $2.11 has held so far, with additional support at $2.08 and $2.14. Price briefly broke a minor Fibonacci support recently but recovered quickly without sustaining losses. The market continues to form higher highs and higher lows — a positive sign amid uncertainty.

There’s a tentative Elliott Wave scenario where XRP might be forming a diagonal pattern to the upside, although it’s not a particularly reliable setup given the overlapping, jagged structure. A decisive breakout above the descending trendline from the April 30th low (around $2.12) could signal the start of an internal third wave higher.
