XRP Surges Past $3: Is a $5 Breakout Imminent in 2025?

XRP just blasted past $3—fueling speculation this could be the run that finally shatters its $5 ceiling.

The rally no one saw coming

After years of regulatory purgatory, the 'banker's crypto' is moving like a memecoin. Trading volumes doubled overnight as sidelined capital floods back in.

Key resistance levels to watch

The $3.80 zone remains the last major hurdle before price discovery mode kicks in. A clean break here could trigger FOMO not seen since 2021's bull run.

Wall Street's worst nightmare?

Ironically, the same institutional players who dismissed XRP now face their own 'dealer's choice' dilemma—chase the rally or keep pretending they never wanted exposure. Meanwhile, retail traders are already stacking paper gains while traditional finance plays catch-up.

This isn't just a price pump—it's a middle finger to every over-leveraged hedge fund manager still waiting for 'the big crypto collapse.'

The $3 for XRP was inevitable as investors had taken a call strike option for the leading altcoin. This pushed its price to the $2.90 level and could keep surging in value. Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $122,838 and is generating massive profits for holders. BTC’s surge is pulling other altcoins up along with it including Ripple’s XRP.

Can XRP Reach $5 Next?

For XRP to reach $5, Bitcoin must surge further in value and push the cryptocurrency market further into bullish territory. In addition, traders must feel confident and take call strike positions at around $4.5 to $5. Investors’ enthusiasm peaked with the leading altcoin this month and took call strike positions at $3. That is being reflected on the charts today with the bullish trajectory.

However, if Bitcoin begins to decline after hitting its ATH, the cryptocurrency market could go down along with it. Moreover, the chances of traders booking profits with XRP reaching the $3 mark remain high. The sell-off could push its price south and investors make way with returns. This could add pressure on the leading altcoin and make it turn volatile in the indices.

Since bitcoin is on the path of bullishness, the higher it goes, the chances of XRP surging remain. Therefore, taking an entry position now into the altcoin can be taken for those who have a stronger risk appetite. The others, who cannot stomach risks, should avoid the altcoin at these present levels.
