XRP is gaining momentum again, with its price hovering just below a key psychological level. As press time, Ripple’s token is trading at $2.93 – within striking distance of the $3.00 resistance that many traders are watching closely. And according to a recent video posted by analyst Ali Martinez, XRP could be gearing up for a big move. The prediction? A breakout to $4.80, if XRP can close above $3.00 on the weekly chart.
That’s a bold call, especially in the short term. But is it realistic?
What the Video Claims
In the video, Ali suggests XRP is “screaming all-time highs,” as it tests the top of a long-term price channel. The key argument is simple: if XRP can post a strong weekly close above $3.00, it could trigger a rally toward $4.80. His visuals, including exaggerated chart projections up to $5.00 and a dramatic leather-jacketed narrator, are clearly meant to grab attention – but the $4.80 level is the main actionable point.
While the claim of “all-time highs” is a bit misleading (XRP’s actual ATH is $3.40), the video’s focus on the $3 resistance level does hold weight technically.

What the Market Says
XRP has been on a bullish run over the past month, climbing from $2.16 in mid-June to nearly $3 today. That momentum supports the idea that a breakout could be near – but not all analysts are as bullish as Ali.
CoinCodex sees XRP reaching $4.14 by 2026, not far off from the video’s target but on a longer timeline.
Coindcx forecasts a move to $2.35–$2.45 this July if XRP holds above key EMAs around $2.23.
InvestingHaven gives a wider 2025 range of $1.81 to $4.10, which overlaps with Ali’s target but still suggests $4.80 is ambitious.
So while a move above $3 could trigger a run, most short-term models stop well before $4.80.
Is $4.80 Realistic?
A close above $3 on the weekly chart would be big for Ripple’s token. Technically, it would signal strength and possibly usher in more buying pressure. But even if that happens, hitting $4.80 this month may be a stretch. Historical volatility shows XRP can move fast, but it’s also known for strong pullbacks.
Also worth noting: some replies to Ali’s post threw out much wilder targets, including $30 by year-end – a number that’s simply not grounded in any current data.

The Bottom Line
Ali’s $4.80 prediction is possible, but only if XRP clears $3 and sustains that level. Until then, the video feels more optimistic than realistic. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong – but investors should take it with a grain of salt. Watch the weekly close. Look for volume confirmation. And don’t forget to zoom out.
Crypto is volatile. XRP has momentum. But breakouts aren’t guaranteed – and $3 is proving to be a tough ceiling.
So yes, $4.80 could happen – but only if XRP earns it.
