XRP shows clear technical and fundamental signals that a large move is close. The number of coins offered for sale has fallen by 82%, and data indicate that a rise of only five percent would break the next chart barrier. Retail and institutional traders care because fresh money would enter and change short-term price action.
Broad gauges show buyers are accumulating after most sellers stepped away. The 82% drop in sell orders suggests the market has soaked up the surplus, meaning less money is required to lift the price. Exchange wallets also hold fewer coins, a pattern that normally leads to still lower selling pressure later.
Chart watchers place the next ceiling in a tight band, with a widely quoted short-term pivot at $2.55. Some draw resistance near $2.40–$2.50, others see firmer support higher at $2.70–$2.75. The split shows the exact pivot is still in dispute, and price and volume must confirm any break before the move is accepted as genuine.
Levels, catalysts, and risks
Beyond the charts, industry sources see high odds of a spot XRP ETF approval in 2025. Such a fund would draw institutional cash and deepen liquidity. The network handles about 1,500 payments per second and settles in roughly four seconds, far quicker than Bitcoin’s ten-minute block pace, a speed edge that supports use in cross-border transfers and other time-sensitive finance jobs.
If the supply drop holds and a five percent gain arrives on strong turnover, institutional buying or fresh liquidity could lift price fast. For the move to last, two things must happen — the chart break must show real volume and new money must keep flowing under clear rules.
Watch two events — the verdict on a spot ETF and how price acts around $2.55. The outcome will show whether the setup turns into a lasting breakout or just a brief spike.
