Zoom out—way out—and XRP’s trajectory looks like a rocket prepping for liftoff. Market analysts are whispering the quiet part loud: this isn’t just a trade, it’s a thesis.
Why the hype?
Patterns don’t lie. The multi-year consolidation, the institutional nods, the sheer resilience against regulatory sucker punches—XRP’s chart is painting a story even Wall Street can’t ignore (though they’ll still charge you 2% to hear it).
Bottom line: When a coin survives this many ‘extinction events’ and still flirts with breakout zones, smart money starts stacking. Just don’t expect your financial advisor to understand—they’re still stuck on ‘block-what?’

XRP historical chart by Ali Martinez
Martinez expressed strong optimism, noting that when considering this broader perspective, "it’s hard" not to feel confident about going all in.
He pointed out that if XRP manages to close above $3 on the weekly chart, it would confirm the breakout and could pave the way for a potential rally toward $6 or beyond.
As of today, XRP is already testing this resistance level. The coin has reached an intraday high of $2.96, its highest level in four months.
Fibonacci Targets Hint at Major Upside
Martinez’s chart features key Fibonacci extension levels confirming XRP’s next potential targets beyond $3. The 1.272 level points to $5.96, which becomes the next immediate target once the $3 resistance falls.
Further bullish momentum could push XRP to $8.96 and $16.17, aligning with the 1.411 and 1.618 Fibonacci levels. The chart identifies $26.24 as the most promising long-term target based on historical Fibonacci projections.
Bitcoin Surge Adds Fuel to Altcoin Momentum
Notably, XRP’s ongoing rally coincides with
Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high of $122,600, reigniting risk appetite across crypto markets. As Bitcoin leads the charge, altcoins like XRP are following suit, benefitting from renewed liquidity and investor optimism.
Prioritize XRP?
Meanwhile, XRP continues to be favored by many market watchers during this bull run. Even before Martinez’s analysis, several others had suggested that prioritizing XRP over other crypto assets might be the best bet for investors.
Beyond technical indicators, several pro-XRP developments in recent months are fueling the bullish sentiment.
For instance, Ripple is expanding operations through a partnership with BNY and is advocating for RLUSD adoption, including efforts to secure a national bank charter and a Federal Reserve master account.
XRP ETFs are also making headlines. ProShares, Turtle Capital, and Volatility Shares are launching multiple futures ETFs this month.
On the historical front, XRP surged nearly 600% between November 2024 and January 2025, massively rewarding those who held during that period. Given these factors, analysts warn that going all in on XRP could be a priority for investors.
