The price of XRP has been moving sideways without any clear direction for the past few days, and today’s analysis focuses on the shorter time frame since the bigger picture hasn’t changed much. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.18 and is up by more than 1%.
According to analysts, XRP has made a small move to the upside, but it’s not yet strong enough to confirm a solid uptrend. The recent increase looks like a three-wave pattern, which could either be the start of something bigger or just another temporary bounce.
Here’s what’s happening:
The B-wave correction might not be over yet. Today, we saw some downward movement, and it’s possible that XRP could revisit last week’s lows around $2.02–$2.03.
If this happens, the price might see a five-wave decline forming, with possible support around $1.90–$2. But it’s important to understand this is a very short-term, small market structure and nothing major for now.
On the other hand, if XRP has already completed its B-wave correction and started a new C-wave upwards, it could target the $2.55–$2.68 zone. However, there’s not much clear evidence to confirm this yet — both the recent moves up and down have been choppy, making it difficult to predict the next big move.
Since mid-April, XRP’s price action has been messy and directionless, mostly moving sideways. While there’s still a chance for higher prices, traders should watch for key support levels:
$1.82 is an important support area. As long as XRP stays above this, there’s room for a recovery.
If XRP falls below $1.82, it would signal that the current attempt to move higher is failing, and it might see a drop towards the $1.33 level next.
XRP price has recorded marginal gains today and held its $2.15 support as the broader crypto market stayed in the green. Amid this, a top analyst revealed that Ripple’s coin may have already hit its bottom. However, he also highlighted some key conditions that the crypto must attain to confirm the bottom.
Meanwhile, another expert has also shared key insights and mathematical calculations, which showed how Ripple’s native crypto might hit the $15 ahead.
XRP Price Holds $2.15 Support: Has It Already Bottomed Out?
XRP price has added around 0.23% during writing and exchanged hands at $2.15, while its one-day volume fell 25% to $2.99 billion. Notably, the crypto’s current market cap stood at $125.33 billion and the token has touched a 24-hour high of $2.18.
Besides, CoinGlass data showed that XRP Futures Open Interest also rose 0.5%, reflecting renewed market confidence. Amid this, renowned analyst EGRAG CRYPTO suggests that XRP might have already hit its bottom on April 7. However, the analyst outlines some key conditions to confirm this trend reversal.
XRP Really Bottomed?
According to the pundit, Ripple’s coin must close a weekly full-body candle above $2.10, the 21-week EMA, and notably above $2.25. If these conditions are met, it would strongly confirm the bottoming out of XRP price. However, failure to achieve these conditions may lead to other market narratives emerging, the expert noted.

Meanwhile, despite the soaring discussions, another expert recently hinted that the crypto might hit $15, citing XRP ETF inflow as the key factor.
Ripple’s Coin To Hit $15? ETF Inflow Calculation Shows
In a recent analysis, market expert Zach Rector made a bold prediction that XRP price could reach $15 and beyond, driven by anticipated inflows from Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). According to Rector, JPMorgan’s estimate of $4 to $8 billion inflows into XRP ETFs in the first year could trigger a significant price surge.
A Closer Look Into The Calculation
Using his market cap multiplier model, Rector calculated that a conservative $4 billion inflow could lead to a 200x multiplier, resulting in an $800 billion increase in XRP’s market cap. Adding this to the current market cap of $125 billion would take the total market cap to $925 billion. With a circulating supply of 60 billion XRP tokens, this would translate to a price of $15.42 per token.
Rector’s analysis is based on the market cap multiplier theory, which measures how inflows can amplify an asset’s valuation. He cited a recent example where XRP’s market cap grew by $7.74 billion in just eight hours, fueled by a mere $12.87 million in inflows, resulting in a 601x multiplier.
While Rector’s prediction seems ambitious, industry leaders are growing more confident about the prospect of an XRP ETF. Ripple CEO has predicted that at least one XRP ETF could launch in the second half of 2025. If Rector’s analysis is correct, the anticipated ETF inflows could trigger a significant rally for XRP price, making $15 a realistic target.
Meanwhile, this also comes as Ripple’s coin continues to witness an influx, outshining BTC, ETH, SOL, and others. A recent report showed that XRP defied the broader market trend last week when the broader digital assets space noted an outflux of over $790 million.
Additionally, a recent Ripple price analysis also showed that the XRP ETF launch, among other factors, could trigger a short-term surge to $5.5 for the crypto. However, investors should exercise caution and conduct their own research before making any investment decisions.
But, this prediction seems to have sparked interest in the crypto community, with many eagerly awaiting the potential launch of XRP ETFs in 2025.
Bonk (BONK), the popular Solana-based meme coin, is on the verge of a massive price crash. This bearish outlook emerges during a period when major cryptocurrencies are experiencing massive sell-offs and price crashes.
BONK Technical Analysis and Upcoming Level
According to expert technical analysis, BONK appears bullish but is currently at a make-or-break level of $0.0000095. The daily chart shows multiple bullish signals, such as bullish divergence and the formation of a bullish double-bottom price action pattern.

However, the ongoing market sentiment and downward momentum in major assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) seem to be influencing other cryptocurrencies, especially those with a small market cap like BONK.
Based on recent price action and historical momentum, this key level has consistently acted as strong support. Since December 2023, BONK has experienced multiple upward moves after bouncing from this level. Meanwhile, experts and traders are also expecting a similar move in the meme coin.
However, given the current unfavorable market sentiment, BONK’s bullish outlook appears to be challenging.
The daily chart reveals that if BONK fails to hold this level and closes a daily candle below $0.0000088, it could drop by 38% to reach the next support at $0.0000055 in the future. However, if the meme coin holds this level, there is also a possibility that history will repeat and BONK will once again see an upside rally.
BONK Price and Volume Drop
At press time, BONK is trading near $0.000009677 and has recorded a price decline of over 5.50% in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, during the same period, its trading volume dropped by 55%, indicating lower participation from traders and investors, potentially due to the current market sentiment.
Traders Lean Bearish on BONK
Given the strong bearish market and downward momentum in BONK, traders seem to be dominating the asset by heavily betting on the bearish side, as reported by the on-chain analytics firm Coinglass.
Data reveals that traders are over-leveraged at $0.0000095 on the lower side (support), where only $11.30K worth of long positions have been built. In contrast, $0.00001062 is another over-leveraged level on the upper side (resistance), where traders have built $271.30K worth of short positions.

Examining this on-chain metric, it appears that short sellers are currently dominating, with minimal interest in going long on BONK. This could easily push the meme coin lower and lead to a breach of its support level.

XRP price today pulled back by 3% as its recent rally took a breather amid a wave of profit-taking among crypto investors. Its dip brought its valuation to $133 billion. However, technicals suggest that the Ripple price is on the verge of a strong surge as the RLUSD stablecoin volume surges by 45%.
XRP Price to Surge to $3.5 as RLUSD Stablecoin Volume Jumps
The XRP price has several catalysts that may propel it significantly higher in the long term. One of these drivers is its potential to disrupt the financial market by disrupting the SWIFT Network that connects over 11,000 banks.
The other key catalysts for the surge is its foray into the stablecoin industry. Ripple USD (RLUSD), its stablecoin, continues to gain market share as its market cap has jumped to nearly $300 million.
CoinGecko data shows that the 24-hour volume of RLUSD increased by 45% to $110 million, indicating growing usage. That figure means that RLUSD is one of the most popular stablecoins in crypto since its daily volume is higher than other well-known names like USDS, Ethena USDe, TrueUSD, and Justin Sun’s USDD.
RLUSD’s volume increase happened a day after it was incorporated in Aave V3. This addition enables AAVE users to supply and borrow it easily. Ripple Labs also made the strategic move to burn 12 million RLUSD tokens, a move aimed at reducing its supply and boosting its demand. Earlier this month, Ripple added RLUSD into its payment network, which will eventually lead to higher volume over time.
Ripple Price Analysis and Targets
The ongoing growth of its stablecoin and the recent end of its legal issues has fueled optimism that XRP price is about to surge. One crypto analyst who has followed it for years now believes that the coin will eventually hit $1,000. This is unrealistic, as it would push its market cap to $100 trillion.
XRP Price to $1,000
Still, a simple technical analysis shows that the coin is on the verge of a rally, possibly to the psychological point at $3.5.
The three-day chart below shows that it has formed two highly bullish chart patterns that may fuel this surge. The orange lines show that it has created a falling wedge pattern whose trendines are about to meet.
XRP price has now flipped the upper side of this pattern, potentially confirming this breakout. The coin has also formed a bullish pennant pattern, a positive technical formation characterized by a vertical line and a triangle.

Therefore, the value of XRP is likely to surge to its year-to-date high of $3.4. Rising above that level will increase the possibility of it reaching $3.5, a 60% increase from the current point.
A plunge below the year-to-date low of $1.6225 will cancel the bullish outlook. Such a crash may put it in danger of a drop to $1.
