XRP Price Prediction for July 21, 2025: XRP Consolidates Near $3.45 After 50% Weekly Rise

After a powerful breakout from the $2.40 consolidation zone, XRP price today is hovering near $3.45, holding strong gains from last week’s rally. The move came with surging momentum, driving price above multiple resistance zones in a steep vertical climb. Traders are now watching to see whether the asset can maintain altitude or if a short-term correction is forming below key resistance at $3.62.

What’s Happening With XRP’s Price?

On the daily chart, XRP price surged past $2.85 and $3.00 which are two historical resistance zones and entered the $3.45–$3.62 supply region that triggered previous selloffs in February 2025. Price action has since formed upper wicks near $3.62, hinting at short-term hesitation from bulls. Despite this, the structure remains bullish above the $3.18 support level marked by the 4-hour Supertrend line.

Bollinger Bands on the daily are wide open, with price currently hugging the upper band at $3.61. This suggests that volatility is still elevated but may be peaking unless a continuation move emerges. EMA alignment (20/50/100/200) is bullish with all dynamic averages stacked below price, and EMA 20 now acting as first-line support at $2.84.

A symmetrical triangle is forming on the 30-minute chart, compressing between $3.40 and $3.62. This consolidation hints at a possible breakout continuation, with support from RSI and MACD remaining mildly bullish. RSI has climbed back to 60, while MACD shows a shallow bullish crossover, indicating underlying momentum is stabilizing after a cooling phase.

Why Is The XRP Price Going Up Today?

The explosive rally in XRP price was driven by a clean structural shift in Smart Money Concepts (CHoCH and BOS confirmations) on the daily chart. Once XRP cleared the $2.20–$2.40 resistance range, large volume inflows followed, sending price directly into the $3.60s. The breakout invalidated multiple supply zones and re-established bullish control on higher timeframes.

Open interest has continued to rise : up 3.14% to $10.88 billion — even as volume dipped slightly in the past 24 hours. The long/short ratio on Binance sits above 2.08, and among top traders, it’s closer to 2.97, showing strong confidence from leveraged longs. Despite the 50% drop in derivatives volume, bullish bias remains dominant, especially with options open interest up nearly 9%.

Parabolic SAR dots on the daily remain well below price, confirming sustained trend strength. Meanwhile, the Directional Movement Index (DMI) shows a wide gap between the +DI and -DI lines, with ADX sitting near 48, signaling a strong trend environment with buyers still in charge.

XRP Price Prediction: Short-Term Outlook (24H)

If XRP price today breaks above the $3.62 triangle resistance with strong volume, the next targets are $3.75 followed by $3.82. A clean daily close above this level could initiate another leg higher toward $4.00.

On the downside, failure to hold $3.38 support may send XRP into a retest of $3.18, where the Supertrend and prior breakout structure converge. Below that, key EMAs near $2.84 and $2.69 could provide deeper support.

With derivatives positioning still long-biased, compression patterns tightening, and no clear reversal signals yet, XRP remains tilted slightly bullish heading into July 21. However, a volatility event appears imminent as price trades into the apex of consolidation.
