XRP Price Could Rally to $30 If It Consolidates Through 2025

XRP price could rally to $30 if it consolidates through 2025, as Ichimoku Cloud shows Ripple faces strong BTC resistance.

A new Ichimoku Cloud analysis shows that Ripple (XRP) price could reach $30 if it breaks resistance levels on its Bitcoin pair in late 2025.

The current chart structure suggests a period of consolidation is necessary to reset momentum indicators. Meanwhile, Gemini has listed Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, expanding its market reach.

Analysts caution that XRP price may face rejection at 5200 satoshis unless it delays breakout attempts until later in the year. Analysts are also tracking broader altcoin trends, with some forecasting a major rally in April 2025.

Ichimoku Cloud Charts Reveal Two Possible XRP Price Paths

Market analyst Dr. Cat shared an in-depth Ichimoku Cloud analysis focused on the XRP/BTC pair. On the 3-month chart, XRP price faces dense resistance. This is formed by the Kijun Sen and a bearish TK gap. These indicators suggest a strong price ceiling that the altcoin must overcome to sustain a bullish trend.

The Tenkan Sen sits well below the Kijun, showing bearish momentum. Additionally, the Chikou Span, which lags price by 26 periods, is positioned below historical candles.

This alignment signals that XRP price is still trading under multiple layers of resistance, which may limit near-term upside.

The aforementioned analyst warns that XRP may face a 90% probability of rejection if it attempts to break past 5200 satoshis too early, particularly in May or June 2025.

This level, equating to roughly $6 per XRP at current BTC prices, could act as a local top unless longer-term consolidation plays out.

On the 1-month Ichimoku chart, XRP price is within a thick cloud that also serves as a momentum barrier. The top of this Kumo aligns with resistance from the 3-month Kijun, reinforcing the difficulty of a clean breakout in Q2. A thinning cloud in Q4, however, suggests conditions may become more favorable for upward movement later in the year.

Gemini Expands Ripple RLUSD Stablecoin Access

In other news, Gemini announced the listing of Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, for trading on May 5. The listing includes both deposits and withdrawals, expanding access for Gemini’s 13 million users.

RLUSD’s listing on Gemini brings the total number of exchanges supporting the asset to 15. Before confirming the listing, Gemini posted a teaser message with capitalized letters spelling “RLUSD,” creating speculation across the crypto community.

The stablecoin’s 24-hour trading volume rose by 28% after the announcement, reaching $49.28 Million. Its market cap currently stands at $317 Million.

RLUSD has expanded its network distribution to reach beyond XRP Ledger and Ethereum. Users of the blockchain-focused Root Network can utilize RLUSD within their stablecoin system. Multiple blockchain integration makes RLUSD more useful and accessible to users.

In addition, Ripple deployed RLUSD into its enterprise payment solution through an integration early in April. Through this integration institutional clients can process cross-border transactions via the stablecoin.

The XRP company also gained more profile when it donated $25 million in RLUSD funds to United States educational institutions through partnerships with DonorsChoose and Teach For America.

Altcoin Season Outlook Suggests April 2025 As Turning Point

On a broader outlook, analyst Amonyx shared a chart on X mapping past altcoin market surges. The analysis identified April 2017 and April 2021 as key turning points, suggesting April 2025 may follow a similar pattern. The chart showed a recurring four-year trend where altcoin capitalization rises after consolidation.

According to Amonyx, the current trendline resembles past ascending triangle setups. This pattern historically supported breakout rallies. Volume patterns and market sentiment also mirror previous cycle transitions, adding weight to the crypto price projection.
