XRP News Today: XRP Rally Enters Final Stage as Analysts Flag Potential Corrections

Tony Severino, a veteran Bitcoin trader and market analyst, has issued a warning to XRP holders that the recent price surge may be nearing its final phase [1]. Known for his technical insights and bearish calls on momentum-driven assets, Severino highlights that the current XRP rally is entering a stage where caution is essential. His analysis is based on historical price patterns, technical indicators such as the Fisher Transform, and past cycles that have shown similar behaviors [2].

XRP, which recently broke out of a seven-year-old symmetrical triangle, reached a high of $3.66 in July 2025 before retracting slightly to trade at around $3.11 [2]. Severino notes that the Fisher Transform is nearing levels seen during previous major peaks in 2017 and 2021—both of which were followed by sharp corrections. Based on this observation, he advises investors to set sell-limit orders in advance to secure profits before a potential price exhaustion phase [2].

The trader projects that XRP’s “final wave” may carry the token to between $8 and $13 within 40 days, with a potential peak between late August and early September [1]. While some analysts like Patrick Riley are more bullish, forecasting a price of up to $22 within the current cycle, Severino remains focused on disciplined exit strategies [4]. Others, including Dark Defender, have identified key resistance levels at $3.33, $4.39, and $5.85, suggesting that a successful breakout could extend the rally further [3].

However, not all analysts share the same optimism. EGRAG, a prominent crypto analyst, has outlined two possible downturn scenarios once XRP reaches a peak. One suggests a rise to $27 followed by a 97% drop to $0.80, while a more moderate scenario anticipates a high of $9 before an 85% decline to $1.30 [2]. He also cautions that a fall below $0.30 remains possible, based on historical cycle patterns [2].

Recent market activity has shown increased volatility, with XRP slipping 2% on August 12 despite holding above the critical $3.20 level [5]. Analyst Jaydee has warned that a breakout, if it occurs, could lead to a majority of retail investors becoming “exit liquidity,” mirroring the 2017 price action [6]. This underscores the importance of strategic timing and risk management for individual investors.

Crypto whales have also been observed preparing for potential movements if XRP consolidates and breaks key resistance levels. A recent flag pattern retest between $3.20 and $3.25 has been identified as a potential catalyst for a move toward $4.00, assuming support holds [7]. These technical developments highlight the market’s sensitivity to price behavior and the necessity for investors to remain informed and prepared.

While the outlook for XRP remains mixed, with analysts offering a wide range of price targets, the consensus is that the current rally is in an advanced stage. Historical trends suggest that sharp gains are often followed by corrections, reinforcing the need for disciplined profit-taking and clear exit plans. As the token approaches key resistance levels, the coming weeks will be critical in determining whether XRP continues its ascent or enters a consolidation or reversal phase.
