Ripple’s Strategic Surge Shatters Expectations—Bullish Rally Accelerates
Ripple’s XRP isn’t just climbing—it’s rewriting the playbook. Forget gradual gains; this is a full-throttle breakout that’s leaving skeptics scrambling.
Why the frenzy? Institutional adoption meets perfect storm momentum. The SEC’s grudging retreat, paired with Asian market inflows, fuels a liquidity tsunami. Even legacy banks—yes, those slow-moving giants—are quietly stacking XRP for cross-border settlements.
Technical breakout or fundamental shift? Both. The chart screams ‘cup-and-handle,’ while Ripple’s ODL corridors now process $5B daily (up 400% since January). Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists grumble about ‘altseason’—as if financial Darwinism cares about their nostalgia.
Where next? $2 looks conservative when you realize hedge funds are over-the-counter hoarding. Just don’t expect Wall Street to admit it—they’re still busy ‘researching’ while retail laps their AUM.
Closing thought: When the suits finally FOMO in, remember—they’re not early adopters. They’re exit liquidity.

The Background and Expectations Behind XRP’s Price Surge
A key factor behind this rise is the swift action of buyers after XRP’s pullback to the $2.75 support level last week. This not only pushed the price upwards but also elevated the open position volume to record levels, dispersing selling pressure. Market participants speculate that the liquidation of Leveraged short positions gathered around $3.06 can drive the price above the psychological $3 mark in a short time. The volume increase, supported by brief and clear buying responses, now favors bullish price movements.
Both EGRAG crypto and Javon Marks have supported the upward potential with numerical predictions. Analyst EGRAG has identified extreme price targets, including $4.89 on a linear scale and $48.90 on a logarithmic scale, eventually highlighting an average target of $27. Meanwhile, Marks maintains a target of $4.80 as long as the $2.47 support is sustained, tying the validity of the roadmap to this condition.
The Role of Aggressive Buyers during Market Volatility
Market volatility has been significantly impacted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of new import tariffs on Asia and Europe. The announcement, combined with the Fed’s reluctance to cut interest rates, dampened risk appetite. Jeff Mei, COO of BTSE, noted that purchases observed before the U.S. market opened suggest fears might be overstated as opportunistic buyers refrain from backing down.
Last week, the monetary value of liquidated leveraged positions neared $1 billion, with Bitcoin$114,354 dropping by 5% and Ethereum
$3,561 by 12.5%. Approximately $1 billion was withdrawn from spot Bitcoin ETFs in two days, causing prices to retract to as low as $112,000. In the same period, $152 million withdrawn from spot ethereum ETFs reinforced the market’s pressured atmosphere.
