The recent ETF developments have fueled optimism around XRP, with analysts suggesting a significant price rally. Some experts believe the token could reclaim the $3 level and potentially soar to $12.50 by 2025, mirroring its historic 2017 performance.
Analysts Forecast a Massive XRP Surge
According to a TradingView analysis by TradingShot, XRP is following a pattern reminiscent of its 2017 rally, where the asset experienced over 1,300% gains in multiple stages. If this formation continues, XRP could be on the verge of a major breakout, potentially pushing its price to $12.50 by 2025.
The report highlights that XRP has already surged 600% since November 2024, signaling a bullish trajectory. Additionally, technical indicators reinforce this outlook. The 50-day moving average (MA) has crossed above the 200-day MA, a classic bullish signal that often precedes significant upward movements.
Should history repeat itself, XRP could see another 1,300% increase, taking its market cap to an impressive $722 billion. Such a rise could position XRP as the second-largest cryptocurrency, surpassing Ethereum (ETH) if ETH’s growth stagnates.
AI Models Offer Mixed Predictions for XRP’s Future
While analysts paint a bullish picture, AI-driven forecasts provide a more conservative outlook. Based on multiple predictive models:
- Claude 3.5 Sonnet predicts a 37.99% increase, estimating a price of $3.85.
- OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4o forecasts $2.80 per XRP.
- ChatGPT-4o Mini offers a bearish view, anticipating a 10.39% drop to $2.50.
- The average AI-driven projection suggests a 9.29% rise, bringing XRP to $3.065 in 2025.
Why Is XRP Gaining Momentum?
XRP’s recent surge is driven by growing speculation about a spot ETF approval. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently accepted 21Shares’ ETF application, increasing optimism for an eventual green light. The new crypto-friendly administration further fuels hopes for regulatory approval.
Additionally, if the SEC moves to settle its ongoing lawsuit against Ripple, XRP could experience an even stronger rally. Some market participants believe the new leadership at the SEC might either drop the case or reach a favorable settlement with Ripple.
At present, XRP is targeting the $3 resistance level. Prominent analyst Ali Martinez highlights that XRP has bounced off the lower boundary of its rising channel, showing signs of strong recovery. He suggests that a breakout above the $3.00 mark could propel XRP toward $3.60 and beyond.
