Maybe you’ve seen it, maybe you haven’t. But $XRP has recently hit highs of $3.66 and is now dancing right between the $2.80 and $3.10 line. So what now?

Many are asking the same question: was this just a pump due to good legal news? Or is it a new phase for XRP?

So I have done what anyone who takes this seriously would do: review charts, go over fundamentals, and read what the big analysts are saying.

Here I leave you all the information in a simplified manner with my opinion.

What has happened recently with XRP (and why it matters)

All this movement comes after a string of powerful news:

  • The SEC case against Ripple has been closed (at least for now). This is no small matter: they had been dealing with this issue since 2020.

  • Two large companies — one based in Singapore — announced that they will use XRP in their corporate treasury, accumulating more than $400 million.

  • Rumors (with quite a bit of foundation) that a spot XRP ETF could be on the way in 2025.

In terms of price, XRP surpassed $2.50, broke the 200-day moving average, and reached a new all-time high of $3.66 (+40%). Then came the natural correction and now the price is supported at $2.80.

In summary: this is not just hype. There are real reasons behind the movement.

Technical analysis: what I see.

Trend

  • Short term: bearish (has corrected from $3.66)

  • Medium term: bullish

  • Long term: strongly bullish

Supports and resistances

  • Immediate key support: $2.80 (the one it is currently testing)

  • Strong support: $2.50 (where the 200-day moving average is also located)

  • Resistances: $3 and $3.50 (last failed attempt), $4.00 (psychological and technical zone)

Technical pattern
The price is currently supported right at the $2.80 level, after having broken upwards and then corrected. This in technical analysis is known as 'polarity': an old resistance turned into support.

Analysts agree: if it stays above $3, it could consolidate and seek $3.50 again. If not, it would fall to $2.50, where there is solid support.

Indicators

  • RSI in the middle zone (between 30 and 70): neither overbought nor oversold.

  • Volume: has decreased a bit after the pump but remains high compared to previous months.

  • Momentum: stable, but with the possibility of a turn if new purchases come in.

And what does the fundamental side say?

Here comes the interesting part. Because, unlike many projects, XRP has a fairly clear narrative:

  1. Real use in cross-border payments. It is not a promise: banks and institutions are already using it.

  2. Institutional support. That companies are putting XRP in treasury is not a coincidence.

  3. Regulatory compliance. Now that it has settled its legal dispute, Ripple and XRP have more freedom to expand.

  4. ETF on the horizon. If this is confirmed in 2025, it could attract flows similar to what happened with Bitcoin and Ethereum.

In short: XRP is no longer just an altcoin waiting for people to discover it. It is trying to become a globally regulated payment infrastructure.

Is it a good time to buy XRP now? Possible scenarios

As always, it depends on the timeframe:

Short term (1-3 weeks)

  • Current zone ($3.00) may be temporary support.

  • Risk: that it breaks and falls to $2.50.

  • Reward: if it bounces, I would look for $3.50 again.

  • My opinion? Entry with risk management, and stop below $2.70.

Medium term (1-3 months)

  • If the market remains bullish, XRP could continue to accumulate good news.

  • Events like the ETF or new corporate announcements could act as catalysts.

  • Reasonable target: back to $4.00.

  • Here it seems like an interesting entry for those looking for swing trades.

Long term (3-12 months or more)

  • If all of the above is confirmed (more institutional adoption, real use, ETF, etc.), XRP could aim to clearly surpass its previous all-time high.

  • Some analysts mention targets of $5 or even above $10, depending on global momentum.

  • Risks: that the general market enters correction or that there are new legal setbacks.

  • In this case, it does seem reasonable to have partial exposure, without going all-in, but with a view to 12-18 months.

And what are the analysts saying?

I have reviewed several interesting opinions:

  • Michael van de Poppe comments that the $2.50 zone is key to watch for accumulation. If that level is respected, he sees a feasible expansion towards $4.20 - $4.50 in Q4 2025.

  • Altcoin Sherpa insists that the institutional narrative is what can make a difference this cycle. There are not many tokens with that clear position in the ecosystem.

  • CryptoCred highlights that the volume during the rise was legitimate and not just FOMO, which adds more validity to the movement.

My conclusion

Can XRP stay above $3? Yes, if the market supports it. But if it corrects to $2.50 it wouldn’t be serious: there is technical, institutional, and psychological support there.

Is it a good time to buy XRP? It’s not the best time to go all-in, but it could be a good opportunity for a partial entry, especially if you have a strategy with stops and are interested in the medium or long term.

What I would do right now would be:

  • Set alerts at $2.50 and $3.50.

  • Prepare staggered purchases if it drops again.

  • If it breaks $3.50 with volume, I would consider increasing my position.

  • And of course: keep a close eye on everything related to the ETF and institutional adoption.

This goes beyond the typical 'it goes up just because'. XRP is playing for the long term.

And you? Do you see it as an opportunity or do you think the train has already left?
