XRP News Today: XRP’s Fate Hangs on $2.90 as ETFs and Fed Weigh In

XRP is currently at a pivotal stage, with analysts debating whether it is on the verge of a significant parabolic rally or has already reached a cycle top. Renowned analyst EGRAG CRYPTO has outlined two potential scenarios for the asset: a substantial rise to the $22–$27 range or a confirmation that the peak has already been set [1]. This analysis is rooted in a multi-year parabolic curve pattern observed since 2013, which has historically aligned with major cycle tops [2]. If XRP follows the trajectory seen in previous cycles, a peak within the $22–$27 range by 2025 could materialize.

In the short term, XRP is forming a falling wedge pattern on the three-hour chart, currently trading around $2.83. A breakout above $2.90 could signal bullish momentum, potentially leading to a target range of $3.50–$4. However, a breakdown below $2.70 could reverse the trend, pushing the price down to $2.50–$2.60 and delaying the long-term bullish scenario [1]. Technical indicators such as the On-Balance Volume and the Chaikin Oscillator suggest a mix of accumulation and rising buying pressure, although sellers still hold influence in the near term [1].

XRP’s potential trajectory is further influenced by broader market dynamics. The token has seen increased institutional attention, with XRP ETF inflows rising significantly in recent weeks. The Teucrium 2X Long Daily (XXRP) ETF added $18.2 million in assets last week, bringing its total assets to over $355 million, while the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF (UXRP) has also experienced strong inflows [2]. Analysts suggest that the growing interest in XRP ETFs reflects a rising demand for exposure to the asset, particularly as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to make a decision on spot XRP ETFs in October [4]. If approved, these ETFs could attract billions in institutional capital, potentially pushing XRP’s price higher [5].

In addition to ETF-related developments, XRP’s ecosystem has seen strategic partnerships that could enhance its utility and adoption. Ripple recently collaborated with Thunes, a global fintech company, to facilitate cross-border payments. Another partnership with Aave has integrated Ripple’s USD stablecoin (RLUSD) into the Horizon project, significantly increasing its market presence [2]. These moves aim to strengthen XRP’s role in the global financial infrastructure, potentially driving long-term value.

The macroeconomic environment is another key factor. The Federal Reserve’s potential rate cuts in September could provide a tailwind for XRP and the broader crypto market. Historically, lower interest rates have supported risk-on assets, and a weaker U.S. dollar, often a result of rate cuts, could further benefit XRP [6]. However, the long-term impact of monetary policy will depend on inflation trends and labor market data, which could influence the Fed’s stance over the coming months.

As XRP stands at a critical juncture, the coming weeks and months will be crucial in determining its trajectory. Whether it breaks out of its current technical pattern or consolidates further will depend on a mix of market sentiment, regulatory developments, and macroeconomic conditions. Analysts remain divided on the timing and magnitude of potential price movements, but all agree that the next few months will be pivotal in shaping XRP’s near-term and long-term prospects.
