Can XRP Rally to $5?

Ripple XRP is picking up huge gains this week in the cryptocurrency market. The asset has rallied 14%, a strong start to 2025. XRP has been a top-trending altcoin, brewing new institutional interest as it continues to scale new heights. In 2025, Ripple’s cryptocurrency is on course to claim new price milestones as it braces for a pro-crypto regime change and awaits a new leadership change in the US. Could one of these price targets be as high as $5.

At press time, XRP is trading at $2.46. The asset has exploded recently to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Analysts are projecting a major breakout this year, one that could see the asset surge by over 100%. One price analyst on X, Dark Defender, has come up with a new price prediction for XRP. Per the analyst, a ripple price breakout is imminent this year, which could help the token claim 3 price points: $2.72; $2.90; and $5.85. As XRP explored a descending triangle pattern on its chart, the analyst noted that this development might help the token surge and claim these price marks.

Other analysts, including Ben “BitBoy” Armstrong, supported his prediction, claiming the token could reach $4.5 before a major price dip. With Trump contemplating launching a strategic Bitcoin reserve to Paul Atkins becoming the new SEC chair, such pro-crypto developments may incite a new era for the cryptocurrency domain, which in the end could benefit altcoins like XRP in the near future.

How High Will Ripple XRP Trade In January 2025?

In January 2025, most price predictions have XRP remaining around the $2.50 price range. It’s not until March-April 2025 that analysts expect “altcoin season” to truly shine. Come this Spring, XRP could boom upwards of 100% in value, bringing exceptional gains for Ripple investors. CoinCodex predicts XRP will trade at $4.42 on Mar. 16, 2025, a new all-time high. Hitting $4.42 from current price levels will entail a rally of about 112.5%.

On the contrary, the crypto price analysis platform Changelly is quite bearish on XRP. The platform anticipates XRP to trade at a potential maximum price of $2 in March 2025. Reaching $2 from current price levels will entail a dip of about 3.85%. While sentiment around XRP appears to be mixed this year, the asset will be one of the top-trending cryptocurrencies this year once again.
