Ripple XRP News Is Dominating Crypto Headlines

Following weeks of strong price action and rising market dominance, Ripple XRP news is once again dominating crypto headlines.

The cryptocurrency market has seen a dramatic shift in sentiment as altcoins continue to outperform Bitcoin. Following weeks of strong price action and increasing market dominance, Ripple XRP news is once again dominating crypto headlines.

Analysts "easily" see $10 XRP as an easy target in the bull market cycle.

Market sentiment around XRP has changed drastically after the token hit a new multi-month high of $2.65, the highest level since its 2021-2022 consolidation period. While some analysts have maintained modest projections between $4 and $5, prominent trader DK64Trades believes XRP is poised for a much larger move.

"XRP can easily breach $10+ because it reached similar prices in the past with 6x higher market dominance—meaning the current trend has much more room to grow."

According to his analysis, XRP could “easily” surpass the $10 mark based on its historical market dominance. In a recent post, he recalled how XRP achieved its all-time high of $3.84 in January 2018 while commanding over 31% of the total crypto market. In contrast, when XRP reached $3.34 in January 2025, its dominance had plunged to just 5%.

“If XRP regains even part of its past market dominance, we could be looking at a trillion-dollar valuation.” Based on today’s $3.33 trillion total market cap, a return to 2018-like dominance levels would price XRP at approximately $17.8—a figure that comfortably exceeds current bullish projections.

This aligns with broader sentiment in the Ripple market, where optimism is growing in the wake of a cleared XRP lawsuit phase and steady accumulation patterns across major exchanges.

Momentum Building as Technical Indicators Flip Bullish

Top trader DonAlt, known for his accurate crypto calls, recently summed up XRP’s latest chart structure with two words: “So Clean.” Referring to the monthly time frame, he highlighted a smooth and sustained upward trend without erratic volatility—a bullish sign for long-term investors.

The recent bullish breakout of the trendline resistance has ignited the hope for XRP’s long-term rally targeting the $10 milestone.

“XRP is showing consistent strength above major support zones,” he noted, adding that a breakout above the $2.46 resistance level has flipped the daily structure, confirming the start of a new bullish phase.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on XRP’s 3-day chart has also made a higher high, officially ending a months-long bearish divergence that previously clouded XRP’s outlook. This marks a turning point in Ripple price action and supports projections of further upside.

Higher Prices Possible Even With Lower Market Share

While rising dominance is one path to a higher XRP value, some analysts argue XRP doesn’t need to recapture old levels of influence to hit double digits.

Capt Toblerone, another market observer, envisions a total crypto market cap of $35 trillion by the peak of this cycle. Under his scenario, XRP could reach a $1.25 trillion market cap—even with a dominance rate of just 3.5%—resulting in a projected price of $22 per XRP.

“Bitcoin’s dominance is expected to decline significantly, potentially below 17%,” he noted. “This would open the door for altcoins like XRP to surge.”

Other cryptocurrencies are also expected to benefit, with Ethereum projected at a $3.61 trillion valuation and Solana close behind at $3.5 trillion, according to Toblerone’s forecast.

Binance Activity Suggests Quiet Accumulation Ahead of Breakout

On-chain activity and exchange data further reinforce the bullish narrative. XRP trading on Binance has shown a notable uptick in futures open interest, suggesting that traders are positioning themselves for increased volatility.

Interestingly, short positions have been quietly rising even as XRP holds firm around the $2.50–$2.60 range. This divergence often indicates seller absorption by larger buyers—a classic setup for a bullish breakout.

“Despite the selling, the price isn’t falling. That suggests accumulation,” one market analyst observed.

If accumulation continues and broader market sentiment remains bullish, XRP may soon attempt to challenge resistance levels at $2.77, $2.95, and $3.30, with $3.40 marking the next major milestone.

Lawsuit Overhang Diminishing as Market Confidence Rises

A key factor that had long weighed on XRP was the legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the classification of XRP tokens. However, with the case largely resolved in Ripple’s favor in 2024, legal uncertainty has waned significantly. The latest XRP lawsuit news suggests no imminent regulatory hurdles, allowing market forces to drive price action more freely.
