XRP Bulls Roar ‘This Time It’s Different’—And the Charts Agree

XRP’s price action is flashing signals not seen since its 2017 parabolic run—but with one critical difference: institutional backing. This isn’t just retail FOMO driving the rally.

Breaking the shackles of SEC litigation, Ripple’s cross-border payments token now has clear regulatory runway in key markets. Liquidity pools are deepening, and derivatives markets are pricing in volatility unseen since the last cycle’s peak.

Yet skeptics whisper: ‘Haven’t we heard this before?’ Maybe—but this time, Wall Street’s algorithmic traders are the ones front-running the ‘dumb money’ instead of the other way around. Typical.

XRP 1M Chart | Guy on the Earth Following President Donald Trump’s victory in the latest U.S. election, XRP hopped on the broader market momentum to breach this resistance in December 2024. Interestingly, since then, the asset has held above the horizontal trendline for nearly five months now, marking the first time in its history it has achieved this feat. Market watcher EGRAG suggested in December that as long as XRP holds $2, there is no cause for alarm. This comes despite mounting bearish pressure and occasional price dips. The resilience has prompted analyst "Guy on the Earth" to insist that the market conditions are different for XRP this time.  As a result, XRP’s potential from here is undeniable. While he failed to present any price targets during the latest analysis, the analyst had predicted in the past that XRP could eventually reach $5.3, designating this level as his first take-profit region. He predicted a run to $3.3, which has already materialized, and further upside to $5.3.
