Analyst Says XRP’s ‘Golden Cross’ Could Trigger a Surge to $25

XRP (XRP-USD) could be gearing up for another big rally as a rare bullish signal flashes for the third time in less than a year, according to market analyst Ali Martinez.

Martinez drew attention to the MVRV Ratio forming a “golden cross,” a technical event that compares XRP’s market cap to the average purchase price of all coins in circulation to gauge whether it is undervalued or overvalued.

This is the third time the pattern has appeared since November 2024. In the two previous cases, XRP prices jumped sharply. The first rally was 54% and the second was an astonishing 630%. These results have fueled hopes among traders that another significant breakout could be on the horizon.

There Are Two Possible Scenarios

If XRP follows the smaller 54% rally, the token could climb to around $5 from current levels. In a repeat of the larger surge, the price could soar to between $24 and $25. This would match the explosive rally that occurred after an earlier golden cross.

Martinez’s analysis comes as XRP pushes to recover from recent dips and attempts to reclaim its yearly high of $3.66. This renewed momentum follows the final resolution of the SEC’s long-running lawsuit against Ripple. The legal clarity has lifted market sentiment and may help remove one of the major uncertainties that has hung over XRP for years.

Bulls See History on Their Side

Supporters argue that the combination of a proven bullish signal and a friendlier regulatory backdrop could create the perfect setup for another rally. They point out that technical patterns often gain extra strength when they coincide with improved market confidence.

However, skeptics remain cautious. They warn that while the golden cross has proven powerful before, market conditions are never identical. Broader macroeconomic pressures, shifting investor appetite for risk, and profit-taking could still limit gains even if the pattern plays out.

At the time of writing, XRP is sitting at $3.28.
