XRP News Today: XRP Eyes 60% Rally to $4.47 Amid Institutional Push and Dovish Fed Outlook

XRP has been the focus of heightened attention in recent weeks, with analysts and market observers forecasting a potential breakout following a period of consolidation around the $2.95 level. The token has shown resilience above $2.80, supported by strong institutional interest and increasing payment volumes, which analysts view as key drivers for future appreciation [1]. Industry leaders, including Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse, have emphasized a strategic shift toward institutional utility, exemplified by the acquisition of Hidden Road, which aims to deepen XRP’s integration into global financial systems [1].

Market analysts have projected varying degrees of price movement, with some suggesting XRP could see a 60% rally to $4.47 in the coming months [1]. Others point to technical patterns and past price behavior as indicators that the token may break above critical resistance levels, potentially reaching $7–$8 if it crosses $3.66 [9]. Monica Long and David Schwartz have been instrumental in driving institutional adoption, with analysts noting that XRP’s recent surge above a long-term resistance channel could be a precursor to a double-digit price target [1].

Macroeconomic conditions are also being cited as supportive for XRP’s upward trajectory. The Federal Reserve’s dovish policy shift is expected to enhance broader market sentiment, benefiting altcoins like XRP [3]. Additionally, the resolution of the ongoing SEC litigation is seen as a critical factor that could provide regulatory clarity and bolster institutional confidence in XRP’s utility [6]. Analysts caution, however, that while 94% of XRP’s supply is currently in profit, the asset remains vulnerable to a larger pullback, advising investors to hedge accordingly [5].

From a technical standpoint, XRP’s price has rebounded from a low of $1.6188 in April 2025, forming rare bullish patterns that some view as confirmation of its potential for further gains [8]. If the price moves decisively beyond $3.66, it could see accelerated gains toward the $7–$8 range [9]. Meanwhile, long-term forecasts remain diverse, ranging from $5 to as high as $30 [7]. For XRP to reach $4.48, it would need a market capitalization of over $266.1 billion, placing it among the world’s 50 largest assets [4].

Despite the optimism, it is important to distinguish between analyst forecasts and actual market performance. For example, while a $30 price level is occasionally mentioned, it would require a 50-fold increase from XRP’s current value of $3.01 and should be treated with caution [7]. XRP’s current market cap of $179.53 billion, combined with a 24-hour trading volume of $3.48 billion, suggests the token is still in a phase of consolidation, with further gains dependent on continued institutional adoption and macroeconomic tailwinds [5].
