Record 6.5M XRP wallets signal rising adoption; active holders grew 11% year-to-date, outpacing hype cycles.Bullish RSI and CMF clash with death cross risk; volume trends favor upside if support holds.The price of XRP has held steady within a narrow range since January, but recent activity suggests a possible shift. Over the past week, bullish traders have strengthened support levels, keeping the token’s value stable. ETHNews analysts now watch for a breakout above critical resistance zones, which could trigger a 35% price increase in the coming days.Source: SantimentXRP’s price has hovered between defined levels for months, a pattern that often precedes decisive moves. Data from Santiment shows the number of XRP wallets reached 6.5 million this month, a record high. This growth aligns with an 11% rise in active holders since January, indicating broader adoption rather than speculative trading. Institutional interest has also climbed, fueled partly by rumors of a potential XRP ETF.Source: XRP/TradingviewXRP’s price recently crossed above the Gaussian Channel, a technical indicator that tracks trend direction. Sustaining this position could signal the start of an upward trend. However, the 50-day and 200-day moving averages approach a bearish crossover, known as a “death cross,” which historically precedes declines.Source: XRP/TradingviewDespite this, trading volume and momentum indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) lean bullish, suggesting the bearish signal may weaken.Source: XRP/TradingviewIf XRP holds above $0.60, ETHNews analysts identify a key resistance band between $2.56 and $2.62. Breaking this range could push the price toward $2.78, a Fibonacci retracement level. Maintaining momentum might then propel XRP to $3.40, with some forecasts reaching $4.00. These targets depend on sustained buying pressure and external factors like ETF developments or institutional inflows.While technical patterns hint at upside potential, XRP’s path remains uncertain. The token’s 12-year history shows few periods of prolonged growth, making current wallet and holder trends notable. Traders appear divided: some bet on a breakout, while others brace for volatility from the looming moving average crossover.XRP (Ripple) – Price & Technical Analysis – May 2025Source: XRP/TradingviewXRP is currently trading at $2.521, experiencing a -0.95% daily pullback, but maintaining a strong +18.35% gain over the past week and +16.80% growth in the past month.
