Last week, a crypto market pullback that took many people by surprise saw XRP’s price crash to $2.18, after the cryptocurrency recovered from an even bigger crash that saw it lose almost 40% value within one day. The latest rebound reflects a steady rise, even though the analyst considers it a “grinding battle” between the bulls and bears.

According to data from TradingView, XRP traded for $2.46 at the time of writing, climbing above a crucial resistance level around $2.42 and flipping it into support. The analyst showed from his analysis, using the measured move from the descending channel, that XRP’s next target is $2.57.

The $2.65 is crucial for XRP’s next bullish rally

Following the new setup, the cryptocurrency analyst used the XRP 4-hour chart on TradingView to identify the $2.55 – $2.65 zone as XRP’s new key macro resistance area. Meanwhile, he noted that a 3-day close above $2.65 would be the ultimate signal for the next phase of XRP’s bull run. According to the analyst, such a move will confirm a strong bullish breakout and open the way for potential new cycle highs.

In the meantime, the analyst spotted $2.31 as a crucial support that must hold for XRP’s bullish momentum to remain. He noted that the level is crucial that XRP must not break below it on any time frame to remain bullish.

XRP maintained a bullish sentiment in 2025

Notably, XRP has maintained a bullish sentiment for most of 2025 despite the latest struggles and price declines. The court’s resolution of the case between Ripple and the SEC was a landmark moment in XRP’s development. Meanwhile, other macro factors, including a potential spot XRP ETF approval by the SEC and an inclusion in the US Crypto Strategy, form the underlying factors behind the cryptocurrency’s bullish appeal.
