XRP Price Forecast: Analyst Predicts $20 Surge Amid 18 ETF Filings

XRP ETFs will bring institutional capital into the asset, just like Bitcoin ETFs did for BTC. Analysts say regulatory approval will be the catalyst for XRP’s price breakout and will push it past the $5 and $10 levels on its way to $20.

All of your 'hype' about $ICP has only driven the price of ICP down to nothing. The rate things are going the price of $XRP will be higher than ICP they will flip positions. XRP=$20 and ICP=$0.40
Good job loser!

Recent market analysis agrees with this and says ETF approval will put XRP in bullish mode. Even crypto strategist Steph is more bullish and says XRP could hit $30 based on price patterns and technical indicators.

XRP Price Correction Ends, Analysts See Breakout Ahead

Dark Defender says XRP’s price correction is over on multiple time frames (weekly, daily, 4-hour) and while minor fluctuations are possible, XRP has entered its next bullish wave with an initial target of $5.85 – potentially a new all-time high (ATH).

Key price levels highlighted by Dark Defender include:

• Support Levels: $2.30, $2.22

• Resistance Levels: $3.39, $5.85

CasiTrades has identified resistance zones at $2.70 and $3.05. A breakout above these levels will confirm XRP’s next bullish wave. But if it fails to hold $2.25, it could go down to $1.90 or even $1.54.

Answer: A year ago, XRP price predictions for 2024 varied widely. Some analysts expected prices between $2.69 and $3.36, while others predicted $8 to $20, with some even speculating up to $48.12. These forecasts were based on technical analysis and market trends at the time.

Legal Uncertainty Still a Risk for XRP’s Price

Despite the optimistic forecasts, legal expert Bill Morgan warns that the ongoing SEC lawsuit against Ripple could still weigh on XRP’s price trajectory. Without a settlement or clear regulatory resolution, uncertainty could linger, potentially affecting investor confidence.

Institutional investors typically favor regulatory clarity before committing large capital inflows. As the SEC evaluates ETF applications, the outcome of Ripple’s legal battle could play a crucial role in determining whether XRP’s bullish predictions materialize.

With 18 XRP ETF applications pending, analysts believe the cryptocurrency is primed for explosive growth. However, investors must weigh both technical and regulatory factors before positioning for a potential $20 price milestone.
