XRP is rapidly approaching a critical juncture, and crypto researcher Ripple Van Winkle believes the asset may be on the verge of a breakout that could redefine its market trajectory . For over a year, XRP has been consolidating within a large symmetrical triangle—a pattern often seen before explosive price movements. As the apex of this formation draws closer, Van Winkle argues that the price is primed for a sharp surge. “The chart is primed. The fundamentals are aligned,” he stated. “Watch XRP closely—the move could be bigger and faster than anyone expects.” XRP’s consistent pattern of higher lows within a narrowing range points to increasing bullish pressure. According to Van Winkle, breakouts from this kind of structure typically mirror the height of the pattern, which in XRP’s case signals a potential rally to $5.30, approximately a 145% increase from its current level around $2.16. XRP is facing a breakout moment. Some believe it’s just another pump-and-dump. But a deeper look shows signs of a massive $5.30 rally on the horizon. Here’s the case for XRP’s next big move $XRP — Ripple Van Winkle | Crypto Researcher (@RipBullWinkle) June 17, 2025 Smart Money Moves in Quietly On-chain data supports the technical picture. While retail interest in XRP remains modest, large holders, commonly known as whales, have been quietly increasing their positions. Transaction volumes on the XRP Ledger are steadily rising, even in the absence of major headlines. “This is exactly the kind of quiet, calculated build-up that institutions love,” Van Winkle noted. For seasoned analysts, such divergence between institutional accumulation and low retail engagement often foreshadows significant price moves. Legal Clarity Sets XRP Apart XRP also holds a distinct regulatory advantage. In 2023, a federal judge ruled that XRP is not a security when sold on secondary markets, giving the token rare legal clarity in the United States. This development followed a multi-year court battle with the SEC and positions XRP as one of the few large-cap cryptocurrencies with a clear path forward under U.S. law. Van Winkle highlighted the significance of this ruling, stating, “ It’s the only top crypto with legal clarity in the U.S. after its partial victory over the SEC. That makes it one of the few digital assets institutions can safely adopt.” As regulatory scrutiny tightens across the industry, XRP’s clarity makes it a natural option for institutional investors looking to gain exposure to crypto with minimized legal risk.

Across Asia and the Middle East, banks and payment providers are utilizing Ripple’s technology to facilitate fast, low-cost cross-border payments. These use cases provide tangible utility and long-term value, helping differentiate XRP from many of its peers. As global demand for efficient digital settlement systems grows, XRP’s adoption as a liquidity bridge could become increasingly important. If XRP can break through initial resistance, Van Winkle believes momentum could carry the token to much higher levels, noting that such a move would likely spark renewed retail interest, major media coverage, and accelerated institutional adoption. Mixed Market Sentiment Despite the strong fundamentals, market sentiment remains mixed. One X user, Clippy, wrote, “1.80 by end of day. I hope I’m wrong…” Van Winkle replied, “$1.90 is lost. We are going super deep. I’m not seeing support at $1.80, are you?”, highlighting the tension around XRP’s current levels. With technicals tightening, institutional accumulation rising, and legal clarity backing its adoption, XRP stands at the edge of a potentially defining moment. If Van Winkle’s thesis proves correct, the coming breakout could mark the start of another XRP’s significant rally.
