XRP to $6.5? Analyst Drops Bombshell Price Target—Here’s the Make-or-Break Timeline

Crypto analysts are doubling down on XRP’s moonshot potential, with one bold forecast pegging the token at $6.50—a 10x surge from current levels. But here’s the catch: timing is everything.

Key dates to watch: Q3 2025 for regulatory clarity (or another round of SEC theater) and Q1 2026 for institutional adoption—assuming Wall Street’s love affair with crypto isn’t just another flash in the pan.

Pro tip: If history repeats, expect the usual cycle of hype, FOMO, and a 20% ‘correction’ right before the target hits. Because nothing says ‘financial revolution’ like predictable pump-and-dump patterns.

XRP Price Sets Sights On $6.5 ATH

In his price chart, Cryptarch_ outlined a multi-stage move, where XRP is expected to rally upwards while bouncing across multiple resistance zones shown by the horizontal purple lines. The $2.49, $3.00, and $3.39 levels have been marked as the major resistance zones. 

Following the projected path highlighted by the yellow arrow on the chart, XRP is expected to first break out of the Descending Triangle before making a move toward the critical resistance zone at $3. This level holds significance, as it was the site for a major price pump on March 2, 2025 — a historical move that couldn’t serve as a strong indicator for future price action.

Cryptarch_ surmised that the XRP price will likely struggle at the $3 resistance. After that, it is expected to bounce and move higher, possibly retesting current all-time highs. 

The goal of this bullish setup is to make $3 a strong support level. From there, XRP is projected to surge toward $6.5, with a potential upper price target of $6.82. While a higher surge would bring in better gains, the TradingView analyst suggests exiting the market at $6.5 to lock in profits safely before a major resistance zone is reached. 

Key Date To Watch Out For

A key element in Cryptarch_’s bullish forecast for the XRP price is timing. According to his chart, Saturday, May 10, 2025, stands out as a critical date to watch. 

He marks this day as a potential inflection point, where XRP could either break above the $3 resistance zone with strong momentum or face a temporary rejection, triggering a potential pullback to $1.61.

Interestingly, the Bitcoin price action also plays a major role in XRP’s future price outlook. Cryptarch_ disclosed that a breakout above $89,000 in BTC could serve as a catalyst, igniting a rally across altcoins, including XRP. It’s worth noting that Bitcoin has already cleared this critical level and is trading at $91,872 at the time of writing.
