XRP is holding above $3.40 after a strong breakout this month. The price is now consolidating just above this level, forming a base that could support another move higher.
XRP is showing strength on both the daily and weekly charts. Analysts say the bullish trend remains intact unless the price falls below $2.75.
The altcoin recently moved through the $3 resistance level. Since then, it has retested the $3.30–$3.40 range and held firm.
Analyst Targets $20–$30 Based on Cycle Structure
Crypto analyst “XRPunkie” believes XRP could reach $20–$30 before the end of the current market cycle. His chart analysis points to a breakout from a symmetrical triangle that dates back to 2017.

These long-term patterns are often linked with strong moves in price. XRP is currently above the triangle’s resistance level, suggesting more upside could be coming.
XRPunkie posted that $20+ is a “given” target based on historical price cycles. His forecast sees the rally continuing into Q4 2025 or Q1 2026, depending on market momentum.
During the 2017 bull run, XRP gained exponentially in a short period. If the current cycle mirrors that one, the top end of forecasts around $30 could be in play.
XRP was trading near $3.44 at press time, down less than 1% in the past 24 hours.
Breakout Holds as Volume and Sentiment Grow
The price action is supported by declining Bitcoin dominance, which is shifting capital into altcoins like XRP.
There is now confirmed support between $3.30 and $3.40. This zone was previously resistance and now acts as a base.
Technical analysis shows the next potential upside zone lies between $4.60 and $4.70, based on Fibonacci levels.
Daily charts indicate that bulls are still in control. XRP bounced cleanly from support in the last session and continues to form higher lows.
Volume has been stable, and retail interest remains strong. Community forecasts on Binance put year-end price targets around $20–$30.
There is growing interest from institutional investors, especially as Ripple Labs continues expanding use cases for the XRP Ledger.
Speculation around a possible XRP ETF approval by the end of 2025 has also added fuel to the bullish view.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently hinted at new developments, although no official ETF filing has been confirmed.
At the moment, XRP is still trading within a bullish structure. If price closes above $3.45 in the coming days, another move toward $4.60 could follow.
The key level to watch remains $2.75. A break below that would weaken the current trend.
