The
XRP
price has displayed conflicting trends toward the end of 2025, leaving both traders and analysts split on its immediate and future direction. The token has been trading in a narrow band between $2.39 and $2.41, a sign of measured profit-taking rather than widespread selling.
Recent figures reveal XRP's ongoing challenge to escape its year-to-date range of $1.90 to $3.38, with
experts observing
that a revisit of the $1.90 support could set the stage for a bullish run toward $10.
Still, short-term technical signals urge caution.
XRP's 200-period EMA
is currently acting as support at $2.49, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 68, suggesting moderate strength without indicating overbought territory.
One major element shaping XRP's short-term prospects
is the anticipated approval of spot ETFs. The DTCC has listed spot XRP ETFs from Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, Canary Capital, and CoinShares, pointing to institutional preparedness.
Market watchers believe
that if any of these ETFs receive the green light from the SEC, they could bring in $3–8 billion in new investments, potentially pushing XRP higher to the $2.50–$2.80 range. However, maintaining support at $2.39 is crucial;
losing this level could result in
a pullback to between $2.34 and $2.31.
Meanwhile, XRP has
bucked the trend of broader crypto outflows
, posting $28 million in weekly inflows, with assets under management (AUM) now at $2.4 billion. This stands in stark contrast to
Bitcoin
and
Ethereum
, which saw outflows of $932 million and $438 million, respectively. Nevertheless,
open interest remains low
at $3.36 billion, a significant drop from $9 billion in October, indicating traders are reluctant to make long-term bullish commitments.
The broader economic backdrop is also influential.
The U.S. Senate's 60–40 decision
to reopen the government has revived expectations for liquidity, which may support greater institutional use of XRP.
Ripple's alliances
, such as its partnership with Mastercard for RLUSD settlements, further enhance its practical use. Yet, ongoing regulatory ambiguity and a lack of fresh catalysts have left many traders dissatisfied, leading some to pivot toward faster-moving tokens.
Longer-term predictions for XRP remain cautiously positive. For 2025, the token is
expected to fluctuate
between $2.15 and $2.49, with an average of $2.27, as growth depends on institutional uptake and payment system integration. Looking ahead to 2026, forecasts widen to $2.29–$3.44, hinging on global economic recovery and new collaborations.
The outlook for XRP is further complicated by regulatory and technical challenges. While
Ripple's $40 billion valuation
after a $500 million fundraising round highlights institutional trust, technical signals such as an impending death cross (with the 50-day EMA nearing the 200-day EMA) and falling open interest suggest caution is warranted.
Google Gemini's forecast
for November 30, 2025, ranges from $1.85–$2.20 on the low end to $4.00–$5.50 on the high end, with the most probable outcome between $2.90 and $3.25.
As the cryptocurrency sector enters a crucial period, XRP's future will depend on ETF approvals, regulatory developments, and broader economic trends.
