XRP Price: The Coiled Spring Primed for a Explosive Rally
XRP's quiet accumulation phase may be setting the stage for a violent breakout—here's why the sleeping giant is stirring.
Regulatory clarity finally cuts through the fog
After years of legal limbo, Ripple's partial victory against the SEC removes the biggest anchor dragging down XRP's price potential.
Institutional adoption bypasses the crypto winter
While retail traders panic-sold, payment providers kept integrating RippleNet—creating silent demand pressure that could erupt when liquidity returns.
Technical setup screams 'overdue'
The multi-year compression pattern resembles every textbook 'coiled spring' formation before historic crypto breakouts (not financial advice, but the charts don't lie).
With derivatives traders still underallocated and the 'digital dollar' narrative gaining steam, XRP's next move could leave both bulls and bears scrambling—proving once again that the market's memory lasts exactly one news cycle.
XRP price to jump as cup-and-handle pattern forms
Technical analysis points to an eventual Ripple (XRP) price bullish breakout. The daily chart shows that the coin has been forming a cup-and-handle pattern since January this year.
The upper side of the cup is at $3.40, while the lower side is at $1.6135, its February low. XRP has completed the cup section and is now in the handle phase.
Notably, a small inverse head-and-shoulders pattern has formed within the handle. The coin has also remained consistently above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages, indicating that bulls are still in control.
XRP has also bottomed at a major support/resistance level on the Murrey Math Lines tool. These technicals increase the likelihood of a breakout, which will be confirmed if the price moves above the YTD high of $3.65.
A move above that level WOULD likely open the door to the psychological $5 mark. The bullish outlook will be invalidated if the price drops below the strong pivot reverse at $2.73.

XRP Ledger is doing well
The other key catalyst for the xrp price is that the XRP Ledger is doing well, a trend that will continue after the recent acquisitions. Data shows that the ledger’s total value locked has jumped by 16% in the last 30 days to $85 million.
Also, the amount of stablecoins in the network has jumped to over $167 million, with most of them being Ripple USD (RLUSD). RLUSD’s supply has jumped to $642 million this year.
XRP Ledger will see a big increase in activity when Ripple brings its Hidden Roadtransactions to the network. Also, Ripple will likely use its recent Rail buyoutto boost its stablcoin strategy.
XRP ETF approval to boost demand
A major potential tailwind is that the Securities and Exchange Commission, led by pro-crypto chair Paul Atkins, may approve most or all of the pending XRP ETF applications. Such approval could lead to billions of dollars in inflows later this year or in 2025.
As an example, already-approved XRP ETFs from ProShares and Teucrium have attracted millions in assets in recent months. Historically, institutional investors avoid Leveraged ETFs, meaning spot funds could see stronger growth.
