Big G's XRP market prediction (May 15, 2025)

Current price performance:

XRP has been quite strong recently! It just broke through the $3 barrier, rising 41% in 15 days, just 17% away from its historical peak of $3.84. Its market cap has surged to $170 billion, higher than asset management giant BlackRock, and market enthusiasm is at an all-time high! Even Google search volume has surpassed Bitcoin, indicating that both retail and institutional investors are paying attention.

Technical signals:

Although there may be a short-term correction (RSI is close to 80, indicating clear overbought conditions), the overall trend remains bullish! Technical experts using Fibonacci and wave theory analysis say we are currently in the fourth wave of adjustment, with the fifth wave potentially pushing to $15; some even set a target of $18. However, the specific timing may be determined by the end of May or June.

Fundamental positives:

Regulatory Relaxation: Ripple is getting closer to the US government, and the CEO just met with Trump. New pro-crypto policies may accelerate implementation, especially as expectations for an XRP spot ETF grow stronger.

Whales are going all in: In the last two months, large holders have accumulated 1.4 billion XRP (worth 3.8 billion USD), clearly betting on a market explosion.

Ecological Action: Ripple has just launched the stablecoin RLUSD and is collaborating with multiple countries on cross-border payment, with practicality rapidly increasing.

Short-term risks:

Don't just look at the bullish side! The lawsuit between SEC and Ripple hasn't completely ended, and if any negative news comes out, it could trigger a sell-off. Additionally, if the broader market corrects (for example, if Bitcoin is unstable), XRP will also shake.

Summary:

This wave of XRP has technical support + fundamental assistance. In the short term, it may first correct to around $2.5 for consolidation, but in the medium to long term, after stabilizing above $3, a surge to $5-10 is not a dream. Keep an eye on two signals: ETF progress and market direction, don't get shaken out by short-term fluctuations!

Opportunities and risks coexist in the crypto world; staying alert and finding the right timing is key. I also discovered a project with huge short-term surge potential! If you want to keep up, follow me for free sharing!
