XRP News Today: XRP's 85% 30-Day Gains Spur Influencer's $4 Price Prediction as Token Trades at $3.07

XRP has returned to the spotlight following a bold price prediction from crypto influencer JackTheRippler, who asserted in a July 24 post that the token could reach $4 within 48–72 hours. The claim, shared on X, has generated enthusiasm among investors, though market analysts remain divided on the feasibility of such a rapid surge. XRP currently trades at $3.07, having recently retreated after a sharp correction triggered by large sell-offs, including a 75 million XRP dump on Upbit. Despite the pullback, the asset has still gained over 85% in the past 30 days, with daily trading volume exceeding $15 billion and a market capitalization near $185 billion [1].

Technical analysis highlights key support and resistance levels critical to XRP’s near-term trajectory. The token faces immediate resistance at $3.20, $3.28, and $3.42, with $3.00 serving as a crucial support level. Breaking these thresholds would be necessary to approach JackTheRippler’s $4 target, though most analysts view the 72-hour timeline as overly aggressive. A jump to $4 would require unprecedented buying pressure and a catalyst—such as favorable ETF news or a major partnership announcement—to overcome current market dynamics [1].

Longer-term forecasts paint a more measured bullish picture. Bitget’s outlook projects XRP reaching $5 by the end of 2025, citing Ripple’s institutional adoption and real-world payment integrations. Other analysts, including those referenced in July 19 and July 9 reports, suggest targets of $4.50–$6 by late 2025, emphasizing technical patterns and institutional trends as key drivers [2]. However, these projections contrast with recent volatility, as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) delayed approval of the Bitwise crypto ETF caused a 6% dip in XRP on July 20, underscoring regulatory uncertainties [4].

Whale activity and network dynamics further complicate the outlook. While whale accumulation indicates confidence in XRP’s long-term potential, collapsing network activity and conflicting signals from on-chain data have created ambiguity. Analysts like Manuel noted that XRP has broken out of key 7-year and 6-month technical patterns, suggesting a potential 13% surge if bullish momentum persists [7]. Nevertheless, these scenarios remain speculative, with outcomes hinging on macroeconomic developments and regulatory clarity.

Market participants are advised to closely monitor two key factors: whale behavior and ETF-related news. Sustained institutional interest could drive XRP toward $4.50–$5.40 by year-end, as projected in multiple analyses, but short-term gains will depend on whether the broader crypto market enters a bull cycle. While JackTheRippler’s $4 forecast has galvanized speculation, most experts caution against overreliance on rapid price moves without fundamental triggers. The coming weeks will test XRP’s ability to consolidate gains and navigate resistance levels before any meaningful progress toward $4 becomes realistic [1][8].
