XRP News Today: XRP Outperforms Altcoins Amid Market Downturn and Forms Bullish Pattern

Ripple’s XRP has demonstrated notable resilience amid a broader altcoin downturn, outperforming most major cryptocurrencies in recent market sessions. While Bitcoin fell by approximately 3% in the last 24 hours, Ethereum (ETH), BNB, and Solana (SOL) recorded losses of 6%, 4.5%, and 5%, respectively, highlighting the widespread weakness in the altcoin space. XRP, however, managed to limit its decline to just 1.2%, maintaining a position above the key $3 support level [1].

The performance of XRP has drawn attention from market analysts, particularly given its recent 41% surge over the past 30 days. This resilience has positioned XRP as one of the few large-cap altcoins maintaining stability, with some observers noting its growing appeal relative to other leading assets. According to a Q2 report by Coinbase, XRP even outperformed ETH in trading revenue, signaling a shift in investor preference [1].

On the technical front, XRP has formed a double bottom pattern on its price chart—a bullish reversal signal often associated with market turning points. Analysts have also noted that the asset has remained above a critical resistance level that previously acted as a ceiling in early 2025, further reinforcing a constructive outlook [1]. StephisCrypto, a prominent analyst, has drawn comparisons between XRP’s current behavior and the 2017 bull cycle, suggesting the asset may now be entering its final surge phase ahead of a potential breakout [1].

However, market volatility remains a concern. XRP has experienced sharp price swings in response to recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, with movements of up to 43% reported in a single week [1]. As more such events approach, traders are advised to remain cautious and closely monitor key support and resistance levels.

Looking forward, some analysts have projected a potential 200% increase in XRP’s price by September 2025, which could push the price toward $9. These remain speculative forecasts and should not be treated as guaranteed outcomes [6]. Regulatory developments also remain a key variable. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is under close scrutiny for any moves that might pave the way for the first U.S. spot ETFs to include XRP, with the September–October timeframe being particularly critical [7]. Meanwhile, Coinbase is set to launch U.S. XRP and Solana futures on August 18, which could further stimulate market activity [8].

Despite these optimistic signs, bearish pressure remains a factor. A sustained close above $3.03 is seen as a potential catalyst for a more substantial bullish phase, while a breakdown below $3 could signal a renewed downtrend [4]. With the altcoin season index currently at 41—well below the 75 threshold historically linked to peak momentum—some analysts suggest there may still be room for a rally before a correction becomes inevitable [1].

As XRP moves toward a potential inflection point, investors are being urged to remain proactive. Some market observers have warned that the next “buy the dip” opportunity may not arrive until 2026, emphasizing the importance of timing and patience [5].
