From court to comeback

XRP has been here before, surrounded by bold price predictions and big promises. But this time seems different. The dust from Ripple's legal battle with the SEC has finally settled, offering the market something it hasn't had in years: clarity. And with that clarity comes speculation, could $XRP really reach $10 in this cycle?

A chart pattern years in the making

The idea is not just a craze on Twitter. Some veteran traders highlight a chart pattern that has been quietly playing out for years. A well-followed analyst, GalaxyBTC, is tracking a structure that mirrors XRP's price action from 2014 to 2017: a long period of higher lows creating pressure before an explosive breakout. Back then, this setup led to a huge rally. Today, the 'trigger point' is around $3.35. If XRP can turn this level into support, they argue, the path to $10 is wide open.

The Ripple effect of Bitcoin

There's also the Bitcoin factor. Mario Nawfal, a prominent crypto commentator, links BTC cycles with XRP performance. His view is simple: "if Bitcoin reaches $225,000, XRP could ride the wave to hit $10 by the end of 2025". This isn't a wild guess - historically, strong BTC rallies have pulled XRP up in their wake.

The camp of ultra-bulls

And then there are the ultra-bulls. Some chartists see potential beyond $10, with targets ranging from $11 to $12 based on multi-year triangle patterns, and even $30 from more aggressive flag breaks. Patrick Riley, an early supporter of Ripple, believes this could be the cycle where XRP realizes a tenfold return.

Liquidity is returning

On-chain data reinforces optimism. Since the settlement with the SEC, XRP's derivative volumes have increased by nearly 200%, signaling renewed interest from institutional traders. This is the type of liquidity with large wallets that can fuel significant movements if momentum takes over.

A new chapter for XRP

Of course, price targets are just that, targets. Markets can change sentiment in an instant. But with the legal fog cleared, techniques aligning, and institutional money reappearing, $XRP is entering a chapter that traders haven't seen in years. Whether it reaches $10 or not, the setup is attracting attention from both retail holders and professionals.
