XRP News Today: XRP Surges 1900% in 2025 Rally, Trader Warns of Imminent Peak

Renowned Bitcoin trader Tony Severino has issued a warning to investors as XRP prepares to enter a phase of price discovery. Severino's analysis suggests that while the next move for XRP could be explosive, it may also be short-lived. XRP has recently experienced a significant price surge, reaching $3.66 on Friday, marking one of its highest levels in the last seven years.

Severino's analysis highlights a massive breakout from a multi-year symmetrical triangle pattern that had constrained XRP since its 2018 peak. With the price now above $3 and building momentum, XRP has decisively exited its long-standing consolidation range. This breakout mirrors the 2017 rally, during which XRP surged from under $0.01 to over $3 in a matter of weeks. Now, XRP appears to be following a similar pattern.

Its initial breakout from the seven-year consolidation occurred in November 2024, and by January 2025, XRP had reached $3.40 before entering a six-month consolidation. Another breakout occurred in July, with XRP surpassing the January peak and reaching $3.66. Although the coin has cooled off since Friday, retracing to $3.30, analysts like Severino believe the rally is not yet over.

Severino is projecting a much more promising outlook for the coin. In a previous chart, he suggested XRP’s final wave projection places the next top near $12.73, a 1,900% move from earlier price levels. He noted the similarities to past cycles, especially the 2017 run, where XRP’s parabolic rise occurred over just 42 days. His forecast implies that the current rally could conclude within a similar time frame, by late August or early September, marking a peak in the ongoing cycle.

While the bullish breakout excites investors, Severino stresses the importance of planning an exit strategy before the hype peaks. He cautions that what follows this rapid ascent could be an abrupt decline. This view echoes past market cycles, where euphoria gave way to capitulation. Severino suggested that his profit target is between $8 and $13. However, many XRP proponents considered the price outlook too low.

Essentially, with XRP entering what may be its final impulsive wave, Severino’s analysis emphasizes that now is the time to plan, not react.
