Sovereigns Are Buying Billions Of Bitcoin, Says Anthony Scaramucci

Bitcoin blasted back through the psychologically charged $100,000 threshold for only the second time in its 16-year history, reclaiming a level last seen in February. As the worlds first stateless money ticked higher, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci told podcast host Anthony Pomp Pompliano that sovereign wealth funds are already accumulating the asset and are poised to scale those purchases dramatically once Washington finishes writing the rules of the road. Sovereigns Are Pouring Billions into Bitcoin Scaramucci, whose new Little Book of Bitcoin chronicles his own conversion from skeptic to evangelist, said overseas officials are quietly adding the digital asset even before the United States clarifies stablecoin legislation, bank-custody guidance and broader tokenization rules. Related Reading: Bitcoin Resistance Limited Beyond $100,000, On-Chain Data Suggests When asked if sovereigns are buying Bitcoin secretly, Scaramucci answered: I think they are buying it, I think theyre buying it on the margin, he said, adding that regulatory green lights will unleash a massive wave of capital inflow. I don’t think it’s going to be a gigantic ground swell of buying until we green light legislation in the United States, he stated. This, in Scaramuccis view, will make people worth 10, 20, 30 trillion dollars buying a half-a-billion dollars of Bitcoin, buying a billion dollars of Bitcoin. ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI JUST CONFIRMED THAT ALL SOVEREIGNS ARE BUYING BILLIONS OF #BITCOIN THIS IS WILD!!! pic.twitter.com/AInDVGR6Jh Vivek (@Vivek4real_) May 8, 2025 The former White House communications director framed todays discreet allocations as a rational response to an increasingly erratic policy environment. With tariffs ricocheting through global supply chains and the dollars primacy controlling the global economy, he argued, officials outside the United States are searching for insurance against what he called executive-policy behavior. We may need to be decoupled from one sovereign currency, Scaramucci said, predicting that golds record highs and Bitcoins resilience during this years stock-market slump stem from the same instinct for self-protection. Related Reading: Bitcoin Soars Toward $100,000 As Treasury, Not Fed, Drives Liquidity: Expert He stopped short of predicting that Bitcoin will replace the dollar, but he insisted that sovereign accumulation is the precondition for an eventual seven-figure price tag. If you want to see a million-dollar Bitcoin, thats when somebody at a sovereign says, Okay, this is part of the infrastructure of the worlds financial-services architecture. In that scenario, he expects official portfolios to target 1%-3% allocationsenough, in his view, to lift Bitcoins market capitalization toward golds $20-30 trillion domain. Digital Gold Will Win For now, the digital gold thesis appears to be holding. While global equity indices have fallen 5%-8% since the latest tariff salvos, Scaramucci noted, Bitcoin is roughly where it was at the beginning of the year. Thursdays breakout above $100,000 underscores that relative strength. SkyBridge itself has ridden that wave. Scaramucci reminded listeners that he began buying Bitcoin for his flagship fund around $20,000, calling the position quite beneficial to our performance. Independent fund-database figures show the $1.7 billion vehicle returned 43% in 2024, outpacing its hedge-fund benchmark by more than four-to-oneresults Scaramucci attributes chiefly to the Bitcoin stake. This is the best idea I have seen in my career, he said. I knew the risks of not jumping in were far greater than playing it safe. Generational dynamics are reinforcing those flows. While older asset-managers still lean toward bullion, Scaramucci said, younger allocators already treat Bitcoin as an heirloom asset. My grandchildren will end up having Bitcoin as a store of value, he predicted. Still, he cautioned that widespread institutional adoption will not occur until the United States clarifies its regulatory stance. If we green-light legislation before the end of the congressional term then I will tell you that therell be large blocks of buying, he said. Absent that clarity, purchases will remain incrementalyet even incremental flows from trillion-dollar institutions can tally in the billions. At press time, BTC traded at $103,077.

XRP Analyst Marks XDC For 3,350% Take-Off As Bullish Metrics Emerge

XRP analyst Egrag Crypto, who is well-known for offering bullish predictions about the altcoin, has now drawn the crypto communitys attention to another altcoin, XDC. The analyst predicts this crypto token could also witness a remarkable surge and enjoy up to a 3,350% gain as bullish metrics emerge.  XDC To Rally To $2 As Indicators Turn Bullish In an X post, Egrag Crypto stated that XDC will rally to $1 and then easily surge to $2. This came as he remarked that the altcoins chart looks amazing. First, the XRP analyst noted that the RGB (Red-Green-Blue) indicators perfectly align with the XDC token. Based on this, he asserted that the next move for the altcoin could be a 10x pump. Related Reading: Fartcoin Reaches Critical Make-Or-Break Level: Analyst Reveals What Could Happen From $0.77  This XDC price surge is expected to target the Fibonacci levels between 1.414 and 1.618, rallying to between $0.50 and $0.80. The XRP analyst remarked that this is still below the previous cycles blow-off top, when the token soared by 3,350%. He expects XDC to replicate this explosive move, potentially surging to the $2 target.  The XRP analyst alluded to the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (SRSI) as another bullish indicator. He revealed that the SRSI is waving bullish signals. The analyst admitted that there is still a long road for XDC to reach and sustain RSI levels above 80, but claimed that the momentum is definitely on the bulls side. In line with this, Egrag Crypto asserted that big moves could just be around for the altcoin.  The Bearish Angle For The Altcoin The XRP analyst also provided a bearish angle for the XDC price. He revealed that the 21 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is on the verge of crossing below the 33 Moving Average. If that happens, the analyst warned that it could turn super bearish.  Related Reading: Altcoin Season In Danger If Bitcoin Dominance Closes April Above This Level However, he added that this crossover will most likely be avoided and that there could be a blow-off top before the inevitable retracement. The analyst also urged market participants to be attentive as the sharp move higher would come unexpectedly before a big crash to the downside.  From a fundamental perspective, XDCs outlook also looks bullish. The XDC network just officially joined the MiCA alliance, which is a major step forward in aligning blockchain innovation with regulatory clarity in Europe. The team stated that the network is deeply committed to compliance, transparency, and building long-term trust. Like Ripples offering using XRP for cross-border payments, XDC is a layer-1 that offers real-world applications like trade finance, cross-border payments, and RWA tokenization. At the time of writing, the XDC price is trading at around $0.07, up over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP Price At $9 In September: Gann Angle Resistance Grid Predicts Surge

XRP’s price action in the past seven days has been marked by a consistent decline from $2.25, putting the target at a probable break below $2. If XRP were to lose this support level, there’s a risk of a further crash until it reaches $1.6, as there isn’t a realistic support base between these levels. Nonetheless, an interesting technical indicator suggests that the cryptocurrency is headed for $9 by September 2025.  Analyst Eyes $9 XRP Target Using Gann Angle Resonance Grid A crypto analyst recently posted a technical projection on the social media platform X, showcasing a long-term XRP price chart structured around the 1×1 Gann Angle Resonance Grid on the 3-day candlestick timeframe chart. According to the chart, the analyst anticipates XRP could reach a price target of $9.63 by early September 2025, aligning with the upper edge of the Topping Channel in the Gann grid. This projection stems from the intersection of the Gann channels resistance trendlines and a key Fibonacci market cap extension level at the 4.236 Fib, which the analyst identifies as a major confluence point. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Is Back, Heres Why Although a $9 target might seem a lot, as it would be far higher than XRP’s current all-time high of $3.40, it is quite conservative compared to some more extravagant predictions circulating within the XRP community. However, the $9 projection is the most realistic target based on the Gann angle resonance grid.  As it stands, the XRP price is in the mid-base zone, now at the cusp of entering the upper band called the topping channel. The technical structure of the rally resembles a stair-step progression, with each consolidation phase occurring near major grid lines. Strong Support At $1.60, But $9 In September Although the long-term outlook is a strong surge, there is also a need to consider the possibility of a short-term downside movement. If XRP fails to hold the mid-base level just above $2.00, the next structural support zone is around $1.60.  Related Reading: XRP Price Shoots For 20% Surge To $2.51 Amid Pullback To Breakout Zone Notably, the grid-based projection places XRP reaching the $9 target sometime around September 7, 2025. However, even if a strong rally and stronger inflows were to push XRP to this point, this might not be done in a straight line but gradually through a series of breakouts and pullbacks. The greater the breakout, the greater the pullbacks.  At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.14, up by 2.14% in the past 24 hours with an intraday high of $2.17. Right now, all eyes are on whether it can break above the descending trendline that has capped its price movement into lower highs and lower lows in the past seven days.

Four "Heavyweights" in Finance Debate: Bitcoin VS Gold - Which One Will The Future Favor?

In what was billed as the "biggest bitcoin vs gold debate in history," and moderated by Ran of Crypto Banter, the event featured four financial heavyweights squaring off to argue the merits and flaws of bitcoin and gold as potential future stores of value and mediums of exchange. 

In one corner were the bitcoin backers - Eric Voorhees, an early bitcoin adopter and founder of ShapeShift, and Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital and former White House spokesman. They championed bitcoin as a revolutionary, decentralized digital currency outside government control.

"Bitcoin is radical, it's rebellious, it's non-compliant, it's American," Scaramucci proclaimed. Voorhees added "Anything that moves the world away from centralized control of money to market-based control of money is something I would be in favor of."

In the other corner were gold advocates Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Asset Management who famously predicted the 2008 housing crash, and economist Nouriel Roubini. They argued bitcoin has no intrinsic value and is essentially "digital fools gold."

"Bitcoin can't do anything that gold can do...You can't have digital gold, you can't make jewelry out of it," Schiff stated. Roubini bluntly called bitcoin "a damned speculative asset - that's it."

Schiff and Roubini repeated the same anti-crypto talking points they've been saying for the last 10 years... unfortunately, in 7 out of those 10 years Bitcoin outperformed all other investments.

How can anyone with a track record that includes 7 years of advising investors to avoid the most profitable investment still be taken seriously?

The intense 2+ hour debate covered a wide range of topics around modern monetary theory, inflation, the economic outlook, role of governments, and the fundamental value propositions of bitcoin vs gold.

Voorhees and Scaramucci made the case that bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins and properties like pseudo-anonymity give it immense value as "a non-debasable monetary commodity." As Scaramucci said, "We took [the working class] from aspirational to desperation in 35 years" due to currency inflation.

However, Schiff and Roubini countered that bitcoin fails all the tests of being a true currency. "It's not a unit of account, not a scalable means of payment, and not a stable store of value...it can never be money," Roubini argued.

While no minds seemed changed by the intense back-and-forth, it encapsulated the broader ideological battle between bitcoin's freedom philosophy and gold's traditional role. 

With bitcoin's market cap over $1.2 trillion, this debate is no longer hypothetical. Its outcome will shape monetary systems, investing, privacy and decentralization for years ahead.

I tried my best to summarize the debate that ran slight over 2 hours long, but if you want to see every minute for yourself, you can view an archive of the live stream on Crypto Banter's Youtube Channel.

XRP Bullish Outlook: Analyst Predicts Mega Run On The Horizon

In a strikingly optimistic forecast amidst favorable market conditions, cryptocurrency analyst and trader Edrag Crypto, has provided a bullish review for XRP, predicting that a massive run for the digital asset could be on the horizon. The analysis explores a confluence of positive market indicators and trends that demonstrates the potential for XRP to attract significant price surges and gains, positioning the coin as a promising asset in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency. Edrag Crypto’s bullish prediction for XRP is based on a Genuine Wake-Up line previously introduced by the expert, divided into two distinct sections, such as Break-out and Atlas Line. XRP Poised For Substantial Growth The analyst has expressed that while this wake-up line saw a successful breakout last year, it could not reach the heights anticipated by the analyst then. “Many moons back, I introduced the ‘Final Wake Up Line,’ which saw a breakout in July 2023. Yet, it didn’t quite soar to the heights we hoped for,” he stated. Related Reading: XRP Declares War On Uncertainty: Analyst Predicts Breakout Fueled By Regulation However, Edrag Crypto spotted a new development on XRP’s chart two weeks ago, which he indicated as a white triangle. According to the analyst, highs from 2021 are being incorporated into the white triangle.  At that time, for XRP to witness a complete upward swing, it needed to break through the Genuine wake-up line with absolute conviction and then retest. Consequently, Edrag Crypto urged the community to remain firm, putting his wave 1 target at $7.5 and wave 3 at a 3-digit target, within the Macro wave 3. Presently, addressing the break-out aspect, the analyst has noted that the white triangle break-out is in perfect alignment with the Fibonacci 0.702 – 0.786 levels and his previous charts. It is expected that the measured move will be between $1.2 and $1.5, while the crucial break-out point is closer to $0.70 or $0.75. Due to this, Egrag Crypto affirms that XRP will see a breakout from the point in the upcoming weeks. Despite the possibility of a retest of the breakout, the expert believes that a mega run for the crypto asset is imminent. The Atlas Line Delving into the Atlas Line aspect, Egrag Crypto underscored XRP’s resilience in this area. According to the analyst, the asset is dominating the atlas line with a solid grip like a boss. Related Reading: Ready For Liftoff: XRP Price Primed To Skyrocket Before November He further pointed out a quick timeframe analysis revealing resistance at $0.5777, support at $0.5000, and a break-out point at $0.6799. Edrag Crypto’s prognosis has captured investors’ and enthusiasts’ attention alike, as they closely monitor these developments. At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $0.5284, indicating a 3% rise in the past week. While its market cap has reduced by about 1.28%, its trading volume has seen positive movement of more than 36% in the past day. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin Expected To Peak Soon? Analyst Forecasts Timeline, Heres When

As the cryptocurrency market continues to witness heightened optimism and confidence from investors, Crypto Con, a popular crypto analyst, and enthusiast has predicted the timeline for Bitcoin to reach its peak in the ongoing bull cycle, based on past BTC runs and their cumulative peaks. Bitcoin Peak To Happen Less Than A Year By analyzing historical data, Crypto Con has identified trends that might pinpoint the time the largest cryptocurrency asset by market reaches its highest point in this cycle. According to the expert, the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) Ergodic Indicator shows that Bitcoin is exactly where it should be in the current bull cycle.  Related Reading: Historical Trends Unveil Bitcoin Peak Timing in Current Bull Cycle At this point, Crypto Con believes there is still a lot of room for growth in the upcoming days. Thus, BTC’s current position, which is around a year from cycle peaks, places this cycle’s peak between January and February of 2025. However, December 2024 remains the analyst’s focus, which, at the current rate, is expected to be the cycle’s top month. Crypto Con further hinted at the recent recovery from a perfectly healthy correction observed in the crypto market as a potential catalyst to drive the price of Bitcoin higher. The post read: The SMI tells us that Bitcoin is right where it should be in the cycle, with much more room for growth. Our current position lines up at about 1 year from cycle tops, which would make this cycle’s top in Jan – Feb 2025. My eye is still on December 2024, a likely cycle top month at our current rate. Given that the analyst previously predicted BTC to reach $149,000 by the end of the year, it could mean the expert expects the asset to top out at the level by December. “Bitcoin is still on track for a layer 7 price target of $149,000 by the end of this year,” he stated. Crypto Con’s prediction is in line with the most precise measurements for Log Regression Curves and the cycle tops in 2021. By then, the more cautious layer 6, which is the layer that denoted the 2013 cycle top, aims to reach the $108,000 level. During the prediction, the expert highlighted a price consolidation, which is a new development in this cycle. However, as volatility decreases, this consolidation is accurate. Determining BTC’s Peak Through Fibonacci Extension Crypto Con has also utilized the Fibonacci Extensions to determine the Bitcoin price peak this cycle. According to cycle retraces highlighted in his chart, the first two cycles approached the 2.618 extension quite closely, while the last struck the 1.618 extension. Related Reading: Economist Foresees $115,000 Bitcoin Peak, Followed By Largest Crash Since 1929 On the possibility that the 1.618 point will repeat itself this cycle, BTC’s price will be at $159,128. “This is one of the many perspectives to be balanced in the basket of possibilities, and I would consider this estimate to be on the optimistic for this cycle,” he added. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is slowly gaining momentum toward $70,000, indicating a 5% increase in the past week. Its market cap is down by 0.25%, while its trading volume is down by 12% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Cardano Market Structure Says Crash Is Coming, But $0.9 Is Still In The Cards

Cardano (ADA) is flashing mixed signals as its market structure hints at an imminent short-term price crash. While bearish indicators suggest a possible decline, a crypto analyst reveals that the broader trend remains intact, with technical patterns supporting the potential for a rally toward the $0.9 mark. Cardano Price Crash Incoming TradingView Crypto analyst SiDec has released a bearish price forecast for Cardano, anticipating a significant correction toward the $0.75 area in the coming days. This cautious outlook is based on detailed analysis using Elliott Wave Theory, Fibonacci tools, and critical price action zones.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Releases Next Potential Targets For Cardano, Is $1 ADA Still Possible? SiDec has stated that ADAs price continues to consolidate after completing a 5-wave impulse move, signaling the end of its upward momentum. Following this strong impulse rally, the cryptocurrency is now exhibiting a classic Elliott Wave behavior, transitioning into a textbook ABC corrective pattern.  The cryptocurrency first experienced a pull-back, labeled as Wave A on the price chart, followed by a temporary recovery in Wave B. According to SiDec, Wave C is expected to complete the retracement pattern, with ADAs final downward move nearing its end.  Currently, technical indicators and price action point to the $0.705 region as a high-probability long entry zone. The TradingView analyst also clarifies where ADA might find solid support during this corrective phase using Fibonacci Retracement zones. The 50% retracement level of the entire bullish 5-wave impulse is positioned approximately at $0.7534 a critical price point that coincides closely with ADAs previous price swing at $0.746. This former resistance level has yet to be revisited, making it a natural support candidate.  The analysis further identifies a 1:1 ABC extension for the anticipated correction in ADA, placing Wave Cs potential crash target around $0.7492. This also creates a tight cluster of technical indicators in the range of roughly $0.75, indicating a strong support zone.  Further supporting this level, the daily 21 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) stands at $0.7455, while the daily 21 Simple Moving Average (SMA) is slightly lower at $0.7347. SiDec has also identified the Point of Control (POC), which marks the price with the highest volume, near $0.7318.  The analyst further highlights that Cardanos anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) resides within the $0.75 support zone. At the same time, the Pitchfork tools golden pocket aligns dynamically as support around the same area.  ADA Price Path To $0.92 Holds Firm While SiDec eyes a potential crash to new lows for ADA in the near term, the analysts chart also shows a green zone, with a projected bullish bounce drawn. Following its Wave C crash, Cardano is expected to rebound and approach the $0.92 level.  Related Reading: Cardano Price Set For 300% Explosion With Major Bullish Impulse The TradingView analyst has advised caution around this area, as $0.92 acts as a significant resistance zone and coincides with a prior liquidity zone that could trigger rejection or profit-taking.  SiDec has emphasized that the risk-to-reward ratio around this area will only become favorable once there is clear confirmation, such as an SFP, a bearish engulfing candle, or visible divergence. Overall, if the $0.75 support zone holds, Cardano, which is currently trading at $0.78, could be positioned for a strong recovery toward $0.92 and beyond.

$40 Billion Worth Of XRP On The Move Where Are They Headed?

Onchain data shows that over $40 billion worth of XRP has been moved over the last week, which puts the altcoin on the edge. Specifically, these coins were transferred to exchanges, which indicates that XRP is at risk of a massive sell-off.  Over $40 Billion XRP Moved To Exchanges CryptoQuant data shows that over $40 billion has been moved to Binance this past week, with the exchanges reserves surging during this period. This development is usually bearish as it indicates that investors are looking to offload their coins. This comes as the XRP price surged to as high as $2.6, which explains this wave of profit-taking.  Related Reading: XRP Reaching Oversold Levels As Net Flows Turn Negative, Whats Next? Moreover, crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that Bitcoin whales have secured profits, selling over 30,000 BTC this week. As such, XRP whales may be simply mirroring this move. Meanwhile, Bitcoinist reported that XRP is reaching oversold levels as net flows turn negative, with the wave of sell-offs heightening.  This selling pressure comes amid Judge Analisa Torres ruling in the Ripple SEC lawsuit, which provides a setback for XRP. The judge denied the parties’ motion for an indicative ruling because the filing was procedurally improper. The ruling also sparked a massive sell-off, with XRP dropping over 4%. XRP risks losing its bullish setup as Martinez revealed that the key support zone is at $2.38, meaning that a drop below this level could lead to a deeper correction. However, a hold above this level could set the altcoin for a rally to new highs as the analyst revealed that there are no major resistance clusters ahead. Crypto analyst CasiTrades had warned that XRPs failure to hold above the $2.69 resistance could send its price towards $2.30 for a reset.  Altcoin Has Formed A Double Bottom Formation In an X post, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto revealed that XRP has formed a double bottom following the dip to $2.3126. He stated that the altcoin is still bouncing off the red descending trend line, showing resilience. The analyst added that the altcoin is experiencing some micro noise within the range between the Fibonacci 0.888 levels at $2.30 and $2.62.  Related Reading: XRP Price Set To Continue Uptrend As Stochastic RSI Moves Out Of Oversold Zone His accompanying chart showed that the key is for the XRP price to hold above the trendline at $2.3. A bounce from this level could send the altcoin as high as $3.8, near its current all-time high (ATH) of $3.84. Based on its historical performance, Egrag Crypto still expects the altcoins price to rally to between $27 and $33 in this market cycle.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.37, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP Moves Into Key Range Against Bitcoin As 3 Major Targets Show Up

XRP has re-entered a pivotal trading range against Bitcoin (BTC), stirring up excitement as technical signals suggest a potential breakout. This move is reinforcing its bullish position, highlighting three major price targets that could confirm a larger macro rally.  XRP Sets Sights On Key Targets Against Bitcoin After months of consolidation, the XRP/BTC trading pair is now back inside a critical triangle formation, which market expert Egrag Crypto has identified as a key price range to watch for potential breakout or breakdown moves. The analyst shared a short-term XRP/BTC chart on X (formerly Twitter), explaining how important this price range is for the trading pair to hit new bullish targets and reach even larger goals.  Related Reading: XRP Analyst Highlights Ultimate Targets And Selling Strategy As XRP Price Rebounds This triangle structure, dating back years, acts as a roadmap for XRP/BTCs potential breakout, but only if it successfully flips certain levels into support. The first major target highlighted by Egrag Crypto is $0.000003033, which represents the upper boundary of the triangle. A decisive breakout above this level would signal a structural shift, confirming a possible bullish breakout from the narrowing wedge.  The analyst’s second key target is $0.00003430, the local high from XRP/BTC’s last rally. This price level is crucial for momentum validation, as flipping this into support with strong volume would build strong confidence in the next upward move and show confirmation that it can hold above it. The third and most critical target the XRP/BTC pair is expected to reach is $0.00004300, which aligns with the Fibonacci 1.0 level and XRP/BTCs previous cycle high. A move beyond this level suggests the beginning of a macro rally, unlocking access to higher Fibonacci extension levels, including:  1.272 Fib ($0.00007244) 1.414 Fib ($0.00009546) 1.618 Fib ($0.00014191) 1.888 Fib ($0.00030000) The Altcoin Must Hold Support Or Risk Macro Breakdown While Egrag Cryptos breakout targets paint an optimistic picture, the XRP/BTC LTC analysis comes with a stark warning of a potential crash. The analyst has raised alarm bells, warning not to lose the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $0.00002032.  Related Reading: XRP Price To Break Out Of Consolidation: The Next Moonshot That Will Lead To $3 This support range acts as the last kind of defense for XRP/BTCs bullish market structure. The analyst goes as far as to say, Lose an arm, but dont lose this range, emphasizing the importance of maintaining this level. He further predicts that if the pair drops below this support level, it could see a decline to as low as $0.00000611. At the time of the analysis, XRP/BTC was trading at approximately $0.00002516, showing early signs of recovery after dipping below the triangle range. If bulls can defend this level and hold on to their upward momentum, the path toward flipping resistance levels into support becomes potentially clearer.  Egrag Crypto has also outlined potential price projections for the XRP based on the bullish scenario where the XRP/BTC pair reaches several upper Fibonacci levels and Bitcoin rallies to key milestones.  Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP Price Rejected At Resistance: Why $2.69 Holds The Key

XRP is facing a strong resistance level on its path to the $3 price level and above, with the past 24 hours witnessing some sort of rejection at this resistance level. XRP price action has gradually built momentum in May, leading to a sharp move toward the upper $2.60 range. On May 12, XRP briefly touched $2.63 before retreating slightly, now trading around $2.57. Directly ahead is the major resistance at $2.69, and technical analysis shows that this zone now holds the key to whether XRP can continue its march toward $3.00 or undergo a pullback for consolidation.  $2.69 Resistance Is Technical For XRP Price Crypto analyst CasiTrades has highlighted the $2.69 price point as an important resistance level for the XRP price moving forward. According to the analysts chart, which accompanied a post on social media platform X, this level represents the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement from XRPs all-time high and is a key level to watch for correction.  Related Reading: XRP Price Marks Confluence Support, Technical Indicators Put Next Stop At $3 Notably, this zone has led to multiple retracements since December 2024, with each attempt seeing sellers quickly step in to defend it. It even proved difficult to break when XRP broke to reach $3.3 in January, and an order block was created on the daily candlestick timeframe just before the ensuing rally above it. As noted by the crypto analyst, momentum indicators have remained relatively muted during XRP’s recent rally. The crypto has also completed what appears to be a full 5-wave Elliott count from the analyst. However, instead of a retracement, the price has pressed forward slowly alongside the rest of the crypto market. This slow, controlled push higher often signals strong underlying demand, strong trend, and heavy accumulation. As it stands, the only thing left to do is to see how the XRP price performs at the $2.69 resistance. Breakout Or Rejection: Two Opposite Outcomes With High Impact The analyst warns that the $2.69 level could be a final barrier before XRP is cleared for a run toward $3.00 and beyond. A confirmed breakout, ideally with a strong daily candle close above this level, would invalidate short-term bearish pressures and cause a run above this level.

In this case, the next logical support level is around $2.30, which is close to the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level. This is another breakout/rebound zone that could offer a healthy reset for the XRP price.  In either scenario, the price behavior at $2.69 is expected to set the tone for the rest of May and determine whether XRP can extend its 2025 bullish trend. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.57, up 4% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Two Major Fibonacci Levels Put XRP Price At $8.40 And $27

XRP’s price action in the past seven days has been nothing short of impressive. The cryptocurrency reached above $2.6 again in the past 24 hours, the first time doing so since early March, about two months ago. This movement has aligned with the uptrend projected by multiple analysts, who are referencing Fibonacci levels to chart XRPs future trajectory. Notably, a crypto analyst’s interesting outlook on social media platform X using Fibonacci levels suggests that XRP will reach $8.40 and $27 this cycle. Analyst Points To Fibonacci Targets At $8.40 and $27 XRP’s price structure in the current cycle has been significantly shaped by its breakout above a tightening wedge formation, which had compressed price action from 2021 through the early months of 2024. This formation, clearly visible on the monthly candlestick timeframe, served as a multi-year consolidation zone that capped upward momentum and defined a range-bound market.  Related Reading: XRP Price At $9 In September: Gann Angle Resistance Grid Predicts Surge The eventual breakout from this structure ended a prolonged bear market and began a fresh bullish phase. Although the past few months have been full of corrections and consolidations after XRP reached $3.31 in January, recent market momentum points to the next leg upward. A crypto analyst on social media platform X has pointed to two Fibonacci extension levels that could serve as the target zones during XRPs next impulsive wave up. According to the analysis, XRP reached both its 1.272 and 1.618 Fibonacci extension targets in the last cycle after breaking from a similar multi-year wedge accumulation structure in 2017. Interestingly, this move in 2017, leading up to the current price action, is part of the same Elliott wave count structure. As shown in the chart, XRP launched from a low of $0.00310 in 2017 to an all-time high of $3.40 in 2018 during its third wave (labeled (3)), hitting both Fibonacci extension levels of 1.272 and 1.618 before retracing in wave four.  According to the analyst, the current price action since 2020 constitutes the formation of the fifth impulse wave. Applying the same extension logic to the current structure from the 2020 low of $0.11379, a move to these Fibonacci extensions points to a target of $8.40 at 1.272 and $27.23 at the 1.618 extension. XRP To Reach $8.40 Or Even $27 This Market Cycle? Whether XRP can realistically surge to $8.40 or even $27 during this market cycle is yet to be seen. Although the 2017 to 2018 rally where XRP climbed over 1,000% in a matter of weeks offers a compelling case, market conditions today are more complex. The amount of inflows and trading volume needed to push the XRP price to such levels would be far greater than those witnessed before.  Related Reading: XRP Price Cross That Led To 20x Rally In 2017 Returns However, from a technical perspective, these Fibonacci targets can be reached when considering how similar price structures have behaved in the past. An example is the rally from $0.00310 to over $3.40 in 2017. One similar analysis from crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggests that the XRP price could reach $15 very soon. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.50, up by 3.4% in the past 24 hours with an intraday high of $2.61. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
