XRP Poised for Bullish Surge in 2025 with Potential ETF Approval and Lawsuit Closure

XRP has been on a tear since the start of the year, soaring by over 70%, with its price reaching a 7-year high.
This surge is linked to growing optimism around the Ripple vs. SEC case, particularly after Donald Trump’s inauguration. A more recent boost came when the SEC acknowledged Grayscale’s filing for a spot XRP ETF, further fueling expectations for a price rally.
The potential approval of the XRP ETF in 2025 has many analysts speculating about XRP’s future performance, with some anticipating a new all-time high (ATH). The recent uptick in buying pressure briefly pushed the price above $2.50, but market reactions have been more cautious, seeing the SEC’s acknowledgment as a promising signal rather than a game-changer. Alongside XRP, Dogecoin’s ETF filing was also recognized, but its price remains stagnant.

Despite the positive sentiment, technical indicators offer a mixed outlook. XRP’s price has broken out of a rising wedge but is testing support levels, with the possibility of a U-shaped recovery. While the MACD suggests a continuation of the bullish trend, some indicators point to potential selling pressure. The volume drop adds to concerns, suggesting that further gains could be slow without a renewed buying wave, particularly if the price can break resistance at $2.80.
Whale movements are also making waves, with over $430 million in XRP shifting hands. While these large transactions don’t always lead to immediate price changes, they tend to indicate a shift in market sentiment. With the XRP ETF approval looking increasingly likely and the lawsuit nearing a resolution, many are eyeing a strong rally in 2025, with XRP potentially surging past $4 and aiming for $5 later in the year.
