After briefly hitting above $3.80, XRP has cooled down to around $3.16, recording an 11.88% decrease over 7 days. Despite the red candles, sentiment remains very positive on social media and the cryptocurrency community as traders await the green light signal for potential ETF—a event many believe could serve as the main catalyst for XRP's next bull run.
With Ripple's institutional partnerships expanding and legal uncertainties gradually being resolved, there is growing confidence that XRP is preparing for a decisive move. Many investors who previously overlooked this coin are now returning, especially as Bitcoin and Ethereum begin to solidify their upward momentum from the start of this month.
XRP Chart Signals Potential Reversal
Technical analysis suggests that XRP may be preparing for a breakout. The token price has returned to a critical support area just above $3.00, while the RSI has dropped below 40, often a signal of oversold conditions. If the upward momentum changes in early August—as many anticipate with the increase in ETF speculation—then a rise to $4.50 or even $5.00 could be back on the table.

Can XRP Reach $5 Before August Ends?
The road to $5 is not without resistance, but the components are lining up:
Legal clarity following the SEC's developments
Increasing calls for spot XRP ETFs
Historical RSI patterns indicate recovery setups
Increasing participation from institutions across the Ripple network
Capital shift from meme tokens to high-potential assets like XRP
If these factors converge, XRP could witness a new wind pushing the price towards—and potentially surpassing—$5.00 by the end of August.
