- XRP has been locked in a 2025 range between $1.90 and $3.38, keeping traders uncertain.
- Crypto analyst Ali Martinez says buyers could get a cleaner entry near $1.90 before a move toward $10 in the 2025 bull phase.
- Spot XRP ETF momentum, DTCC listings and U.S. liquidity returning all support the macro bullish structure.
XRP price today is still trading inside the same year-to-date rectangle that has defined 2025, with most of the action holding between $1.90 support and $3.38 resistance.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez told followers that the pattern is not a breakdown but a buildup, and that the same structure can launch XRP toward $10 once the breakout comes. He also cautioned that traders pressing longs too early should expect one more drive lower into the $1.90 zone before the next leg higher.

Rectangle Structure Still Intact Between $1.90 And $3.38
Martinez based his view on the daily chart, where XRP has respected the lower band near $1.90 several times while failing to clear the upper band near $3.38. The October 11 crypto crash, which cleared about $20 billion from leveraged players, pushed XRP under the $2.70 shelf and put sellers in control in the middle of the range.

The shifts focus back to the lower demand area first. A second analyst, Aksel Kibar, reached a similar conclusion, pointing to an earlier breakout from a multi-year triangle that still supports a higher-timeframe advance once the market absorbs this consolidation.

ETF Track And Institutional Treasuries Keep Macro Bullish
The call for a rally to $10 is not only technical. The XRP spot ETF lane is filling out. The DTCC has listed spot XRP ETF products from Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, Canary Capital and CoinShares, which investors read as a readiness signal ahead of formal trading.
At the same time, Evernorth and other public-facing firms have been adding XRP to treasury plans, showing that regulated holders want exposure in size. If one or more spot XRP ETFs go live in the current listing cycle, they give the token the demand source needed to sustain a break out of the $3.38 ceiling.
Crypto Liquidity Tailwinds After U.S. Government Reopening Vote
The 60 to 40 U.S. Senate vote to reopen the government and restore funding to January 30, 2026 gives the Federal Reserve room to proceed with its rate-cutting path and the previously signalled Quantitative Easing.
More dollar liquidity usually helps heavy-cap tokens first, and XRP is already one of the clearest candidates for institutional settlement, especially with RLUSD live across Ripple’s payments stack. If liquidity expands on schedule, XRP will not have to break the YTD rectangle on weak flows, which is why analysts are comfortable keeping $10 on the board for 2025 while still calling for $1.90 as a better entry.
