In spite of substantial resistance laying ahead, Ripple (XRP) crossed the 50-day Exponential Smoothing Average to increase the odds of a bullish reversal, or simply put, a price trend change in the opposite direction. If the month-long bearish tendency switches, Ripple (XRP) would be on the way to retest $3 after a three-week hiatus.
XRPโs Strength Against Bitcoin Paints A Bright Picture
On the other hand, Rippleโs native XRP crypto price should consolidate above $2.50 for this bullish reversal to fully kick in, as a daily close below $2.50 could send the altcoin back to $2. One optimistic scenario was mentioned by crypto analyst Crypto Tolga, picturing XRP price at $18 if the coin picks up a similar impulse to the bull run in late 2024 and early 2025.
Digging deeper into the one-day charts, the popular Turkish crypto analyst explained to their 65.4K followers on X that the OG altcoin has a wide margin area, possibly turning into a key support zone. However, a bullish pennant formed on crypto price charts can quickly turn bearish, if the lower oscillator crosses the upper one.

However, another good indicator of the long-term direction of Rippleโs (XRP) price is the steadily growing market dominance against cryptoโs flagship asset, Bitcoin (BTC). The XRP/BTC pair has continuously regained strength since February 12, 2025, even though the altcoin is yet to reclaim the levels of mid January, 2025, when XRP price topped $2.95.
On the real-time 4-hour charts, Ripple bulls stand a chance to confirm the bullish reversal if the XRP price breaks above the red line, standing for the highest tier Bollinger Band (BOLL). Already surpassing the green envelope, XRP price now needs to conquer $2.50 levels against USDT or $0.0000282 against Bitcoin (BTC).
On The Flipside
- So far, both major bull rallies in January, 2017 and January, 2025 for XRP halted at $3.30 – $3.40, even though Ripple Inc. won the high-profile case against SEC.
- Aside from investor sentiment, Rippleโs cross-border payment service adoption on an institutional level could dramatically influence XRPโs price both ways.
Why This Matters
Serving over 6 million accounts on-chain, XRP Ledger rose to prominence after multiple traditional banking integrations for real-time international transactions.
