- XRP jumped nearly 5% to $2.42, backed by a 60% spike in trading volume.
- Resistance levels sit at $2.50 and $2.70; a breakout could mean an 11% profit.
- Bulls are targeting $3, but expect volatility if profit-booking kicks in.
XRP is back on the upswing. After jumping nearly 5% on Thursday, the altcoin is now trading at $2.42 and showing no signs of slowing down. Buying pressure is mounting fast, with daily trading volume exploding to $4.4 billion—up from last month’s $2.8 billion average. That’s a massive 60% jump, and it’s got traders perking up across the board.
The bullish vibes are strong, and investors seem to be diving in from all corners. With volume this high, XRP looks like it’s riding a real wave—and it might just keep going.
Can XRP Push Past $2.50?
Ripple’s native token has made a solid comeback. It bounced from $1.95 last month all the way to $2.42, which is roughly a 25% return in less than 30 days. That means a quick $1,000 investment could’ve netted you $250 just like that. Now, with momentum still leaning bullish, XRP might be eyeing even higher ground.

Analysts say the next test is at the $2.50 mark. If XRP can break through and hang on there, another move toward $2.70 might be on the table. That’s another 11% jump for anyone keeping score—and a good sign that the bulls aren’t done yet.
Aiming Higher: $3 Price Target in Sight
But that’s not the ceiling. The bulls are looking way past $2.70 and setting sights on a full breakout to $3. Traders have already started piling into call options for $2.80 and $3, signaling strong belief in another leg up. That same sentiment is partly why we’ve seen such a spike in volume this month.
Of course, if XRP hits $3, don’t be surprised if some heavy sell-offs kick in. Profit-taking could slow things down temporarily—but the path upward is still very much in play.
