XRP Price Prediction: Will It Give In To Profit taking?

Is a price tag below $3 by the end of July, a reasonable XRP price prediction? The cryptocurrency which just experienced perhaps its most exciting week achieved a new ATH on Friday.

But what’s next for this Ripple-native coin as holders cerebrate their win? XRP price prediction on Polymarket suggested that there was a 35% chance that the cryptocurrency would rally to $4 before the end of June.

It also predicted a 55% chance that it could surge to $3.7 before the end of July. This was noteworthy because that would suggest an extended upside from its $3.39 press time price
tag.

Ripple’s XRP could potentially draw more bullish momentum if it were to benefit from
another major catalyst event.

That boost could potentially come from Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. Bluechip recently announced that it gave RLUSD A rating, making it the highest ranking stablecoin in terms of safety.

The Stablecoin has been rapidly gaining traction and its marketcap recently surged above $527 million. There was another potential catalyst that could pave the way for more XRP upside.

Can the XRP Price Prediction Hold Amid Rising Sell Pressure?

XRP’s next major event after the end of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit could be XRP ETF approvals. According Polymarket, the probability of an ETF being approved in 2025 stood at 86% at the time of observation.

Social sentiment around the XRP ETF prospects was up during the week. That surge was mostly driven by the announcement that the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF was live.

The announcement may have provided an extra confidence boost with, ETFs expected to bring in a wave of new demand from the institutional class.

Approvals could potentially trigger another wave of sell pressure. However, the bulls would
have to contend with rising sell pressure now that the cryptocurrency was deep in overbought territory.

The crypto exchanged hands at $3.49 at press time after a 2.18% rise in the last 24 hours. Its performance in the last 2 days signaled a significant cool down in the momentum previously observed during the week.

A short squeeze followed by a demand resurgence could potentially wipe out shorts and push price higher.

While the last 2 days demonstrated resistance and a tapering out of the previously observed bullish
momentum, it also underscored the possibility of a retracement.

This was because it was extremely overbought after rallying by over 90% from its lowest price point in April.

Interest Soars to New Historic Highs Above $10 Billion

XRP ballooned aggressively in the last few months. For context, it hovered below $4 billion at its lowest price last month (23 June) and had pushed over $10 billion at the time of observation.

The massive spike in interest from the derivatives segment could potentially create volatility for XRP.

A short squeeze event may have been in the making as short positions were on the rise fueled by
expectations of profit-taking.

Spot netflows were in the green in the last 24 hours. They surged above $125 million in the last 24 hours which was the second highest single-day positive netflow surge observed in 2025.

A signal that whales were attempting to push prices higher and trigger short liquidations.
Analysts still expected a correction considering the overstretched bullish momentum.

If one occurs once a leverage shakedown is concluded, then price could possibly dip lower than $3 in the short term.

Nevertheless, the long term outlook remained bullish courtesy of Ripple’s expanding role in the financial industry.
