XRP’s Green Zones Unveil a Bullish Roadmap Amid Fed Rate Cut Hopes

XRP has seen renewed attention from analysts and market participants, with recent technical analysis suggesting potential long-term price ranges for the cryptocurrency. Crypto analyst CryptoBull recently outlined three distinct price zones for XRP using a one-month timeframe chart. According to the analysis, XRP is currently within what is described as the “undervalued red zone.” The chart also highlights a "dark green zone" ranging from $4 to $45 and a "light green zone" from $45 to $250, representing potential future valuation ranges for the asset. These ranges are presented as long-term targets if market conditions favor a sustained upward trend in XRP.

Recent price movements have demonstrated signs of bullish momentum. On September 9, 2025, XRP closed at $3.02, marking a 4.15% gain and retaking the psychologically significant $3.00 level for the first time in several weeks. This surge was attributed to expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut, which currently stand at a 99% probability for the September 16-17 meeting. A rate cut is expected to reduce borrowing costs and increase liquidity in the broader financial markets, factors that historically support risk-on assets like XRP. Analysts noted that this macroeconomic shift could accelerate upward movement in XRP, especially given the broader crypto market's positive dynamics.

Institutional adoption of XRP has also gained traction, with Ripple announcing an expanded digital asset custody partnership with Spanish banking giant BBVA. This collaboration allows BBVA to offer end-to-end custody services for Bitcoin and Ethereum trading under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation framework. Ripple's managing director for Europe, Cassie Craddock, stated that the partnership reflects the confidence banks now have in digital assets post-MiCA implementation. Ripple, co-founded by Jed McCaleb and Chris Larsen, has positioned itself as a key player in cross-border payment solutions and institutional adoption, further solidifying XRP's role in the crypto ecosystem.

Technical analysis of XRP’s price action also suggests significant upside potential. The cryptocurrency has reclaimed key support levels, including the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) and the $2.96-$3.00 resistance zone. This breakout has triggered a potential measured move from a three-month flag formation, with the target price set at $4.70—an increase of over 55% from current levels. Whale accumulation patterns have also been observed, with large investors reportedly accumulating 10 million XRP within 15 minutes during the recent breakout. The total value of these transactions has reached $700 million in recent weeks, indicating strong institutional interest ahead of potential XRP ETF approvals in October.

While the market remains cautious, several key levels are being closely monitored by traders. The $2.99-$3.00 resistance zone has transitioned into potential support following repeated rejections, and the next major resistance lies at $3.30-$3.50. Six XRP ETF applications are currently under review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with a decision expected in October. If approved, these ETFs could significantly boost institutional demand and reshape XRP’s market dynamics. However, risks persist if XRP fails to maintain momentum above $3.00, with key support levels at $2.88-$2.89 likely to be critical in the near term.

Looking forward, analysts project that the broader crypto market’s strength could provide a supportive backdrop for XRP’s rally. Bitcoin ETFs have recorded substantial inflows in early September 2025, and the tightening supply of illiquid Bitcoin has reinforced its role as a store of value. This trend, combined with continued institutional adoption of XRP, could lead to more pronounced volatility and upward price action. Analysts like Paul Howard from Wincent believe XRP is well-positioned to outperform Bitcoin due to its volatility and broader adoption potential. If the Federal Reserve delivers its expected rate cut on September 17, it could act as a catalyst for a more significant XRP rally in the coming months.
