- XRP’s rare compression phase forming at tighter levels, history suggests explosive upside potential soon.
- Analysts project wild targets from $8 to $33, hinting at possible trillion-dollar valuations.
Sistine Research, an investment research firm, predicts the XRP price could see a breakout soon. The token is trading at $2.75 after falling about 9% over the past week. Analysts suggest it may be entering a rare compression phase that historically triggers major price rallies.
Sistine Research highlighted that XRP is undergoing its third compression since the election, with consecutive higher price points forming the tightest setup. Analysts note that liquidity gaps within this pattern could accelerate upward momentum once the narrow range breaks.
The firm cited past price history to support its bullish stance. In February 2017, XRP rose from $0.0054 to $0.43 by May, giving nearly 100x returns in just 12 weeks. Later that year, another surge took the token from $0.18 to $3.84 in less than three months, a gain of over 21x.
XRP’s Historical Gains Fuel Current Projections
Another rally unfolded in late 2024 when the token climbed from $0.50 to over $3.40 by January 2025, recording a 7x increase. That growth later continued into July, with XRP reaching $3.60, as CNF mentioned. Analysts now point out that the current setup is the tightest so far, raising expectations of a stronger move ahead.
Other market watchers besides Sustain Research have also set bullish targets. Analyst Matt Hughes sees potential price targets for XRP at $8.30, $13.39, and $26.63, levels he calculated using Fibonacci extensions. “XRP wants to play too,” he said, comparing its chart setup to Solana’s earlier breakout.
Analyst EGRAG suggested an even bolder outlook, saying XRP could rise 1,000% to around $33 if Ethereum achieves a speculative $33,000 mark. He pointed to XRP’s past triangle breakouts and Fibonacci levels, which in his view support a potential target range between $31 and $33. At that price, the token’s market capitalization could touch $2 trillion.
ETF Launch and DeFi Integration Add Momentum
Additionally, underlying developments within the XRP ecosystem have further strengthened the bullish case. The new REX-Osprey XRP ETF pulled in $37.7 million on its first day, the biggest ETF launch of 2025 so far. Analysts see this as a sign that institutional interest is picking up.
CNF also reported that Flare Network rolls out its FXRP wrapper. This feature allows XRP to function as an ERC-20 token within decentralized finance. Within just a few hours of launch, users locked more than $7.1 million worth of XRP into Flare’s FAssets, showing rapid adoption.
These new products could help expand XRP’s reach and add weight to the bullish outlook. If Ripple’s associated coin follows past compression patterns, the coming months may play an important role in shaping its long-term value.
