🚀 Crypto Price Forecast for July 30: XRP, Cardano, Shiba Inu – Who’s Breaking Out?

Crypto markets are buzzing as altcoins defy gravity—or at least try to. Here’s where the action’s heating up today.

XRP: The Legal Warrior’s Next Move

Ripple’s favorite child keeps traders on edge. Will SEC drama finally take a backseat to price action?

Cardano: The ‘Academic’ Crypto Flexes

ADA’s proof-of-stake darling promises upgrades—but can it deliver more than peer-reviewed whitepapers?

Shiba Inu: Meme Coin or Dark Horse?

Dogecoin’s fiercer cousin keeps barking up the liquidity tree. Just don’t mention the ‘burn rate’ at dinner parties.

Meanwhile, traditional finance bros still think ‘HODL’ is a typo. Tick-tock, Wall Street.

Ripple (XRP): Leading Global Payments Crypto Token Hits Record Price Highs

Ripple’s XRP token achieved a fresh milestone on July 18, reaching $3.65—eclipsing its prior 2018 peak of $3.40.

Though now trading at around $3.14—a 13.7% decrease from its record high—XRP still posts a 43% increase in the last thirty days. The coin now appears to be entering a consolidation range, but continued investor enthusiasm hints at the possibility of renewed upward movement.

XRP has attracted considerable institutional backing due to its rapid transaction finality, negligible fees, and efficient cross-border capabilities without the need for intermediaries. Even international institutions such as the United Nations have taken an interest.

After years of legal contention, Ripple secured a landmark judicial decision in 2023 when a U.S. court determined that XRP’s retail offerings did not constitute securities sales. By 2025, with the SEC closing its case, legal clarity will have helped reinforce investor confidence in the asset.

This clearer regulatory environment has triggered strong capital inflows into XRP, pushing its value up by over 417% yearly, well beyond Bitcoin’s 71% gain in the same period.

XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped from an overheated 86 at the beginning of last week to 58 now, reflecting increased sell momentum. Following its impressive recent surge, investors appear to be locking in profits, which may lead to extended selling into the weekend, creating a potential accumulation zone.

In the last 24 hours, XRP has declined by 3.1% as the wider market dips 5.2%. It could continue to slide until the RSI approaches a neutral 50. Still, downside risk seems limited as strong psychological support is emerging around the former resistance level at $3.

A bullish flag pattern that formed from late 2024 through early April suggests the potential for another rally, possibly pushing XRP toward $4 by this fall.

Cardano ($ADA): Can This Green Crypto Ethereum Rival Surge to New Price Highs in 2025?

Interest in Cardano ($ADA) has intensified, as evidenced by a 41% climb over the last two weeks. This upward momentum is underpinned by favorable technical indicators and increased institutional interest. Alongside XRP and Solana, ADA was even cited by President Donald Trump as a potential asset for inclusion in a proposed U.S. Bitcoin reserve.

Launched in 2014 by ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano is known for its rigorous academic development framework and eco-conscious Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism—an innovation that influenced Ethereum’s own evolution away from energy-intensive mining.

With a current valuation of over $28.7 billion, ADA would need to triple in value to surpass solana and position itself as Ethereum’s biggest contender.

Over the last fortnight, ADA has posted a 9% increase—outperforming Bitcoin, which failed to make any gains in that span.

Technical forecasts suggest ADA could rise from its current price of $0.795 to roughly $1.50 by mid-year. The most bullish projections anticipate a return to its all-time high of $3.09 from September 2021—a NEAR 300% increase from current levels.

Recent chart patterns reveal a bullish flag, hinting at further upside. However, ADA’s RSI has cooled from a peak of 85 down to 56, signaling that many investors have been consistently cashing out from its recent upward price action, and they will likely accumulate again soon.

Resistance is currently pegged around $1.15, with firm support expected in the $0.85 to $0.90 range.

Shiba Inu ($SHIB): Popular Dogecoin Alternative Eyes a 3X Rally

Shiba Inu ($SHIB), launched in August 2020, has grown to become the second-largest meme coin after Dogecoin, amassing a market cap nearing $8 billion.

SHIB has dipped just 6% over the past 24 hours—in line with a 6% dip in the collective market cap of the meme coin sector, which now stands at a valuation of $78.3 billion—and is currently trading at approximately $0.00001337.

The token appears poised for another substantial upward move. Analysing the token’s support and resistance lines over the last year, we see two highly bullish formations—a descending wedge from November to March and a bullish flag forming since mid-May—indicating continued upward potential.

If SHIB breaks through its key resistance near $0.000022 amid positive market sentiment, analysts believe a rally toward $0.00003 could be achieved before summer’s end. In a full-blown bull market, projections suggest SHIB could hit anywhere from $0.00006 to $0.00009 by year-end.

Unlike many meme coins, SHIB offers functional utility through Shibarium—its Layer-2 Ethereum solution that improves scalability, transaction speed, and fee efficiency.

Snorter ($SNORT): A New Meme Crypto Meets Trading Bot Utility in Low Price Presale
