- On-chain data shows major holders buying above support zone of $3.00 to $3.10, suggesting cautious price stabilization ahead.
- Machine-learning models project XRP average of $3.28 on August 1, with potential swings between $3.20 and $3.45 widely forecasted.
XRP trades near $3.19, up $0.08 from the prior close. The token reached a high of $3.21 and a low of $3.02 on July 26. This morning, XRP pulled back from a recent peak around $3.45, sliding to $2.96 before finding support near $3.10.
Technical charts show a 10 percent decline from the recent high to the low point, with volume rising as institutional buyers stepped in. However, XRP remains above its key support zone of $3.00 to $3.10. On-chain analytics suggest that major holders accumulated more tokens at lower levels, a move that could stabilize the price.
ETHNews analysts project a short‑term trading range between $3.00 and $3.50. Moreover, machine‑learning models forecast an average price of $3.28 by August 1, with swings from $3.20 to $3.45.
$6-$8 XRP in August is highly likely.

Some forecasters even point to a rally toward $6 to $8 later in August, provided regulatory clarity and capital rotation from Bitcoin take hold.
Meanwhile, U.S. regulators added XRP to a planned strategic reserve alongside BTC, ETH, ADA and SOL. That announcement spurred brief price gains in March before a subsequent correction. In addition, Ripple has expanded its use of prime brokers to attract institutional orders, aiming to boost large‑scale trading activity. Conversely, Chris Larsen moved $175 million in XRP to exchanges, drawing criticism for potential sell‑pressure.
Traders debate the impact of such insider transfers. One camp views the move as predatory, while another argues it spreads tokens among retail and institutional holders, strengthening network decentralization. At present, XRP’s market cap stands around $183 billion, with Larsen’s 2.81 billion tokens accounting for roughly 4.6 percent of that total.
Overall, XRP seems to consolidate after sharp moves. Investors will watch for a break below $3.00 or above $3.50 to gauge next steps. If the token holds above support, it may retest recent highs. Otherwise, deeper corrections could follow.
XRP (Ripple) is trading at $3.19, marking a 1.69% increase on the day. This slight upward momentum follows a healthy correction from its recent high of $3.60, consolidating just above the key support at the 21-day EMA ($2.91).
Despite a dip earlier this week, the broader market structure remains bullish. Notably, XRP has formed a golden cross against Bitcoin — where its 23-day moving average has overtaken the 200-day — historically a strong bullish indicator.
Investor sentiment remains highly optimistic. Over $155 million in capital inflows have entered XRP in the last few days, largely from institutions reallocating assets away from Bitcoin.
Whale activity has surged again, and market chatter signals confidence in an approaching $4.00 breakout, with some analysts targeting $5.00 within the next 7–10 days, depending on whether XRP can close this month above $3.40.
On the flip side, the zone between $3.50 and $4.00 is proving to be a psychological resistance. Should a clean breakout occur, XRP may enter an “expansion window” aiming for $6–$13 as predicted by bullish analysts.
In the latest news cycle, there’s talk about real-world asset tokenization skyrocketing on the XRP Ledger — growing over 2,260%, which many believe is behind renewed investor interest. Furthermore, XRP is outperforming other altcoins like DOGE and SHIB in terms of institutional accumulation.
However, some traders remain cautious due to potential macroeconomic risks, such as Trump’s tariff policies possibly triggering a broader market correction around August 1st.
