- XRP in distribution phase, but bull trend intact
- Analysts maintain $10–$30 price targets
- US spot XRP ETF could drive next rally
Despite entering what analysts call the “distribution phase,” XRP is not showing signs of a failed bull run. This phase, often misunderstood as a sign of weakness or a top, is actually a natural part of a broader bullish cycle. Analysts argue that the current price action should not alarm investors, especially those familiar with crypto market structures.
In fact, the distribution phase can act as a consolidation zone before a major breakout. Many crypto assets go through similar cycles — accumulation, markup, distribution, and then another markup if broader momentum supports it. For XRP, that support might come in the form of regulatory clarity or broader market sentiment.
Bullish Price Targets Intact
Market analysts are standing by their bold XRP price predictions. They still project cycle tops between $10 and $30, even in light of the current sideways price movement. These projections are based on historical price patterns, Fibonacci extensions, and the potential impact of broader market liquidity entering the crypto space.
According to technical analysts, XRP’s chart still supports a bullish narrative, especially if key resistance levels are broken in the coming months. The recent consolidation could be seen as the final shakeout before a strong upward move.
ETF Speculation Adds Momentum
One of the biggest possible catalysts for XRP is the speculation around a US-based spot XRP ETF. Following the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the crypto community sees XRP as a logical next step — especially with its growing institutional interest and improved legal standing post-Ripple’s partial court victory over the SEC.
An XRP ETF would increase accessibility for traditional investors and potentially bring in billions in new liquidity. This narrative alone is strong enough to keep investor sentiment alive during the current distribution phase.
