Mass buying
According to Glassnode, investors have bought about 1.7 million $XRP in the last month. This is the largest accumulation in two years, and such an influx of capital strengthens expectations of a new price breakout.
But there is also a troubling signal
The NVT (Network Value to Transactions) ratio shows that the network's capitalization is growing faster than transaction activity. When NVT spikes, it often indicates a temporary overvaluation and correction risks. Historically, such spikes have often coincided with phases of slowing down or short-term pullbacks.
Price forecast for XRP
Short-term (1–2 weeks): if the current dynamics are maintained, XRP could settle above $3.05 and test the area of $3.20–$3.50. However, due to the high NVT, brief pullbacks are not excluded.
Medium-term (1–3 months): analysts, including Peter Brandt, expect growth of about 60%. This could push the price into the range of $3.65–$4.50 if the network shows increased activity.
Long-term (6–12 months and beyond): most forecasts converge on a target of $5–$7, with an optimistic scenario reaching up to $9.50 and higher. Some models even indicate a range of $20–$40+ by 2030, if Ripple establishes itself as a key player in international settlements.
Accumulation $XRP currently looks strong, but the market is giving mixed signals. For sustainable growth, more network activity is needed, not just capital inflows. Nevertheless, the fundamental base and interest from large investors make XRP one of the main candidates for strong movement in this cycle.
