Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto noted that XRP/BTC has once again swept its range lows, marking the third occurrence. Despite not holding the range, the analyst described the move as a bullish variation.
He noted that XRP/BTC continues to display one of the strongest high-timeframe (HTF) charts in the market, with a primary target roughly 40% above current levels.
We swept our lows again on XRP/BTC so while we didn’t hold the range lows a third sweep is just another bullish variation.
Still looks like one of the healthiest HTF charts in the space right now.
Those range highs are calling. $XRP https://t.co/VxHG16PZts pic.twitter.com/8DCFYnpBN8

Last week, the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) recorded $37.7 million in first-day trading volume, making the most successful exchange-traded fund launch of 2025 to date.
However, this has yet to reflect in the XRP price action. Analysts are now expecting the arrival of spot XRP ETF, from several different issuers, next month in October.
Another crypto analyst, EGRAG Crypto, shared a two-week chart tracing XRP’s price history back to 2014. He emphasized the significance of the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) as a key support level in prior cycles.
#XRP – 2 Scenarios Based on Historical Price Action ($9.6 – $33):
If you’re not yet familiar with the most likely outcomes, it might be time to catch up! Here’s a closer look at two pivotal cycles in #XRP‘s history.

In 2017, XRP price retested the 21 EMA twice before surging 1,610% to $3.31 in early 2018.
In contrast, during the 2021 cycle, the SEC lawsuit pushed XRP below the 21 EMA in December 2020, but once it reclaimed that level, the token rose 414% to $1.96 by April 2021.
Based on these precedents, EGRAG highlighted two potential outcomes: XRP could rally 1,610% toward $33 if it follows the 2017 trajectory, or climb 414% to around $9.60 if it mirrors the 2021 pattern.
