On-chain metrics point to healthy demand, not a blow-off top, with easing volatility creating a more sustainable environment for long-term bullishness on XRP price predictions . Since hitting a local top in mid-May, the altcoin appears to be hitting its stride again with a 20% gain over the past 16 days in a firm mid-term uptrend—now metrics point long-term. With Trump’s tariff letters reopening trade negotiations ahead of the extended August 1 “Liberation Day” tariff pause deadline, the macro narrative sets a precedent for cautious optimism. BREAKING: President Trump sends out more “tariff letters” with the following tariff rates announced today: 1. Cambodia: 36% 2. Thailand: 36% 3. Bangladesh: 35% 4. Serbia: 35% 5. Indonesia: 32% 6.

The Bull Market May Not Be Over for XRP Despite explosive gains so far this cycle, Glassnode data suggests XRP has yet to reach a local top with market participants not yet in profit-taking territory, keeping the door open for further upside. The MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) Z-Score, a key valuation metric, peaked near 6.5 during XRP’s early 2025 run to $3. Today, it hovers around 2.0—well below the 3.0 threshold that typically signals overvaluation and the previous overextended levels that created high volatility.

A low score means the asset isn’t overextended relative to historical investor entry points, suggesting accumulation and HODLing rather than short-term speculation or weak hands. This is reinforced by the HODL Wave chart, which shows over 40% of the circulating supply hasn’t moved in more than a year, underscoring strong holder conviction for further gains.

Long-term cohort bands also remain stable despite recent volatility and macro FUD, creating a solid foundation for growth with resilient underlying support. XRP Price Analysis: Can $3 Be Topped This Cycle? The XRP price could be gearing up for its next leg higher as it teeters on a breakout from a symmetrical triangle that has capped its upside since late February. Momentum indicators align with the long-term bullish on-chain metrics. The RSI has reclaimed the neutral line at 52, signaling renewed buyer strength and a return to bullish territory. More so, the MACD has formed a golden cross, surpassing the single line for the first time since May. On the 3-day chart, this suggests a potential mid-term uptrend is taking shape. XRP has already surpassed the immediate resistance to a breakout at the 0.618 Fibonnaci level at $2.267. The next hurdle sits at $2.44, which will determine whether this is a true breakout or a false move. Should the bullish case play out, the pattern sets up a likely technical target at the 2.618 Fibonacci extension around $4.365—representing a 90% gain from current levels. For this breakout to fully materialize, a market-warming catalyst such as the October 17 U.S. spot XRP ETF decision could prove decisive, opening the door to fresh TradFi inflows.
