$4.50 XRP Target

XRP breaks out of a bull flag and futures volumes surge, setting up a potential move to 4.50 by fall.

$4.50 Target in Sight

XRP futures trading volume jumped more than 200% in the last 24 hours to 12.4 billion, rising past Solana in open interest which climbed about 15% to roughly 5 billion. The move follows news that Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission agreed to dismiss their appeals against each other. Technically, XRP broke above the upper line of a bull flag as volumes supported the breakout. The pattern implies a target near 4.50, about 35% above current levels, with a possible move into September or October. A potential rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this year could further lift appetite for risk assets including XRP.

The surge in futures activity signals renewed taste for crypto risk after the settlement news. It also suggests rising leverage, which can amplify losses if the rally loses steam. A large cluster of XRP tokens around the 2.80 to 2.82 area forms a visible support base, but a quick reversal could squeeze late buyers. Macro factors, especially any shift in Fed policy, may determine whether this momentum endures or fades.

Highlights

Markets can overreact to headlines; the real test is sustained demand beyond a single breakout.
