XRP Price Alert: Analyst Predicts "Mega Breakout" to $5 as XRP ETF Hype Intensifies
XRP is flashing bullish signals as analysts spot a potential "mega breakout" pattern that could send prices soaring to $5. The rally comes amid growing speculation about an XRP ETF—because what's a crypto bull run without Wall Street trying to cash in?
Technical indicators suggest XRP is primed for a major move. The $5 target represents a 10x gain from current levels—enough to make even the most jaded crypto trader sit up and take notice.
ETF rumors continue building despite regulators' usual foot-dragging. "This is exactly the setup we saw before Bitcoin's ETF approvals," claims one analyst, conveniently ignoring how that process took nearly a decade.
Whether this surge materializes or joins crypto's long history of "any day now" predictions remains to be seen. But one thing's certain: the hype machine is running at full throttle.

Technical Setup Suggests XRP Could Double in Value
Analyst Milkybull shared a chart on Tuesday showing XRP forming a cup-and-handle pattern, one of the most recognizable bullish formations in technical analysis. The setup often forms at market bottoms, with the cup representing long-term accumulation and the handle marking a brief pullback before a potential breakout.
If price breaks decisively above the upper handle resistance, the pattern’s depth projects an upside target near $5, suggesting XRP could more than double from current levels around $2.45. Traders say a clean move above the $2.6–$2.7 zone WOULD confirm the structure, opening the path toward that next major milestone.
XRP ETF Optimism Adds Fuel
The bullish narrative is getting an extra boost from renewed ETF speculation. Confidence across crypto markets has picked up after the U.S. Senate reached a deal to end the government shutdown, which investors believe could clear the way for long-awaited regulatory approvals.
As of this week, the DTCC website lists 11 XRP ETF products under active and pre-launch status, including proposed funds from 21Shares, ProShares, Bitwise, CoinShares, Canary Capital, and Franklin Templeton. While listings do not guarantee approval, they signal that issuers are preparing infrastructure to go live once regulators give the green light.
ETF analysts Nate Geraci and Eric Balchunas both commented on the developments, suggesting that the end of the shutdown “could open the ETF floodgates” for new crypto products, including XRP spot funds.
On-chain Data Backs the Bull Case
Momentum also appears to be building onchain. Data from CryptoQuant shows that XRP’s 90-day Spot Taker Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), which measures whether buyers or sellers dominate market orders, has flipped positive for the first time since June.
This same signal preceded a 75% rally earlier this year. It kicked off one of XRP’s strongest short-term uptrends of 2025. Analysts say the renewed buyer dominance, paired with growing ETF anticipation, mirrors that same setup almost exactly.
If history repeats, and volume expansion confirms the pattern, XRP could be gearing up for another aggressive MOVE higher as the year closes out. At the time of writing, XRP is sitting at $2.4472.
