XRP, $5 Surge Scenario Leaked..."Earns More Than $80,000 Bitcoin"

▲ XRP, Dollar (USD)

Optimism is spreading that a new rally towards $5 will begin as XRP reclaims the critical psychological resistance level of $1.40, forming a chart pattern similar to previous explosive surges.

According to a report by the crypto media outlet The Crypto Basic on April 18 (local time), analyst Crypto Catalyst analyzed that XRP has entered the early stages of a new rally, showing a fractal structure similar to past large-scale breakout phases. Catalyst emphasized on his X (formerly Twitter) that another major rally is about to begin. XRP has recovered the $1.40 level for the first time in weeks and is currently trading at $1.44, up 2.5% from 24 hours ago. The rise over the past week amounts to 7.61%, demonstrating strong upward momentum.

The key basis for this bullish outlook is a chart structure that repeats past surge instances. Catalyst referred to XRP's historical pattern of consolidating for a long period before an explosive breakout, diagnosing the current movement as its prelude. Weekly chart analysis shows that XRP has found stability by building a strong bottom support line around $1.30. It is evaluated that strong buying pressure defending against price drops has formed, accumulating sufficient energy for further upward movement.

If the bullish rally fully materializes, the primary target prices are expected to be in the $2 and $3 range. Catalyst predicted that if the price increase accelerates, the next key target price would be $5. Reaching $5 from the current price would require a vertical surge of approximately 247%. However, there is a long-term resistance line between $3.00 and $3.60 on the weekly chart, and the battle in this zone is expected to be a watershed moment determining whether XRP breaks past $5 in the future.

Interest from institutional finance and the inflow of liquidity are also contributing to XRP's revaluation. Since April, institutional funds have been rapidly flowing in, with net inflows from investors into XRP spot ETFs exceeding $65 million, setting a new record for 2026. As the practical payment utility of the Ripple network is emphasized, investors are focusing on long-term value appreciation rather than simple profit-taking. The stabilization at $1.40 provides strong psychological comfort to buyers and serves as a springboard for an upward breakout.

Market participants are focused on how quickly XRP will break through the $2 and $3 resistance levels. While technical indicators are unanimously signaling bullishness, whale investors' accumulation activities are also becoming more active. XRP, based on its unique upward trend, is leading the altcoin market and presenting investors with new opportunities for wealth growth. If the current chart structure recreates past myths, the landscape of the cryptocurrency market is expected to fluctuate significantly once again.
