#XRPETF . Today's Market Price and Sentiment**

XRP is currently trading at **$2.18** with a market capitalization of **$127.43 billion**, reflecting an increase of **233.71% in the last 12 months**. Although the price has decreased by 1.35% in the last 24 hours, the asset remains above the psychological level of $2, supported by the anticipation of the launch of the XRP ETF by ProShares on April 30, 2025. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 61 (Greed), indicating moderate optimism among investors.

2. Technical Analysis: Potential Breakout or Correction**

The *Descending Triangle* pattern with support at $2.00 and resistance at $2.50 is the focus of analysts. If XRP maintains the $2.20 level and breaks through the $2.50 resistance, the short-term target could reach $3.50. However, the MACD and RSI indicators (54.76) show neutral momentum, with the risk of a correction to the $1.70–$1.80 zone if the $2.00 support fails to hold.

3. Fundamental Factors: Institutional Adoption and Regulation**

Ripple's acquisition of Hidden Road for $1.5 billion could potentially increase XRPL transaction volume to $1.5 trillion/year. Analysts like Zach Rector estimate that the price of XRP could reach **$5–$15** in 1-2 years if 30% of this volume uses XRP as a settlement asset. However, regulatory uncertainty from the SEC and the outcome of the Ripple case appeal remain major obstacles, especially for ETF approval.

4. Price Predictions: Between Ambition and Reality**

Short-term predictions vary:

- **CoinCodex**: A drop to $1.86 in a month, but potential increase of 26% by June 2025.

- **Technical Analysts**: Target of $6.50 if the Elliott Wave pattern is fulfilled.

Meanwhile, long-term predictions from CryptoGuard COO Matthew Brienen ($1,000 in 10 years) are considered overly speculative, given that the market capitalization would need to exceed $58 trillion.

5. Risks and Recommendations**

While the prospects for institutional adoption (such as CME futures) and the utility of XRP in cross-border payments are strong, investors need to be cautious of volatility
