Why Its Top Catalyst Isn’t Enough

There are three likely paths for XRP:
Bearish: If it breaks below $1.77, prices could fall to $1.20 or lower.
Neutral: XRP may stay stuck between $2.00 and $2.40 without any big news.
Bullish: If XRP can break above $2.50 and get a strong catalyst like ETF approval, it could climb to $3.40 or even higher later in the year.
XRP had its moment in early 2025 when the SEC dropped its lawsuit, removing a major legal barrier. However, that boost wasn’t strong enough to change the overall direction of the market. Weak charts, low network activity, and challenging global conditions have all worked against it.
For XRP to recover meaningfully, it will need more than one-time news. It needs steady growth in usage, strong investor interest, and a friendlier global financial environment. Until those things happen, XRP may continue to struggle, with the risk of falling even lower.
June 2025 could be a turning point. If positive developments emerge, such as ETF approval or increased usage, XRP could regain strength. But without those catalysts, the token is likely to remain under pressure for the rest of the year.
