The price of Ripple’s XRP might soon be in for a large price surge, with analysts forecasting a potential leap to $6.5, almost a 200% rise from its current position.

New technical indications and the bullish trend of Bitcoin are putting analysts and traders on high alert for XRP’s next direction.

A crypto analyst by the Cryptarch_ on TradingView has posted a detailed chart indicating that XRP is creating a Descending Triangle, which typically precedes significant breakouts.

He also indicated a shift in the RSI (Relative Strength Index), which had been declining for months but has now begun to rise. This indicates momentum is turning in favor of buyers, indicating a potential bullish trend.

Cryptarch_ has posted a trading plan: buy XRP at $2.10, and set a stop-loss at $2.00. This configuration reflects confidence in the uptrend while capping potential losses if the market goes against the trade.

In his price chart, Cryptarch_ has mapped out a multi-step rally for XRP where the price will increase while it tests out multiple key resistance levels indicated by horizontal purple lines. These are crucial levels at $2.49, $3.00, and $3.39.

Among them, the $3 level is fundamental, as XRP recently experienced a significant rally at that price level on March 2, 2025. Being able to break and hold above $3 would make it a very solid support area, positioning for another move to the $6.5 target.

The analyst is projecting XRP to surge to $6.5, with a marginally higher possible target of $6.82. However, he advises closing at $6.5 in order to profit safely before the next solid resistance point is encountered.

One date to keep an eye on is Saturday, May 10, 2025. That’s the day when XRP can either break above the $3 resistance and move higher, or get rejected and drop back to $1.61. This date could determine whether the bullish thesis occurs or is pushed further back.

Bitcoin’s performance is also crucial here. If BTC remains higher at $89,000, it might pump the overall altcoin market. Currently, Bitcoin is already trading at $91,872, which favors the scenario of XRP and other coins following suit in a general market rally.

The 'Final Battle' of Crypto Treasuries: The Myth of Buying the Dip Is Collapsing

Amid a recent crypto market downturn, crypto treasury companies—previously major buyers that fueled market rallies—have significantly slowed or halted their purchases, despite prices reaching potential bottom. This inaction is not due to depleted funds or panic but stems from a structural paralysis in their funding mechanisms, which rely heavily on stock premiums. These companies, exemplified by industry leader Strategy, primarily fund crypto acquisitions through convertible notes and At-The-Market (ATM) equity offerings. The ATM mechanism allows issuing new shares at a premium to net asset value (NAV) to raise capital for buying more crypto. However, when their stock price falls below the NAV per share (mNAV < 1), selling shares becomes dilutive and economically unfeasible, effectively locking their "ammunition." Strategy, for instance, still has over $30 billion in ATM capacity but cannot utilize it while trading at a discount. Other crypto treasury firms face similar constraints. Many have mNAV ratios below 1, rendering their ATM plans unusable. While some, like BitMine (a major Ethereum holder), continue buying using cash reserves, overall effective purchasing power is limited. The sector is shifting focus from leveraged accumulation to earning yield through staking (e.g., Ethereum staking yields ~8%) to cover interest costs and ensure survival. This reflects a broader move away from "infinite bullet" theories dependent on perpetual premiums, underscoring that these companies amplify trends rather than counteract downturns. Market recovery is essential to restart the funding flywheel.

A Quick Look at BlackRock's 2026 Investment Guide: Betting on AI U.S. Stocks, Shorting Long-Term U.S. Bonds, AI Financing Wave May Push Up Interest Rates

BlackRock's 2026 Investment Outlook highlights AI as the dominant force reshaping the global economy and market structure. The report emphasizes that AI-driven capital-intensive expansion is breaking through boundaries in finance, energy, and policy, making markets more reliant on a few key drivers. Investors must actively position themselves amid this structural shift, as traditional diversification strategies may no longer suffice. Key themes include: - **AI Investment Surge**: Corporate AI spending is expected to reach $5-8 trillion by 2030, supporting U.S. economic growth even amid a cooling labor market. However, massive upfront investments may require significant debt financing, potentially raising leverage and interest rates. - **Concentrated Market Reliance**: U.S. equity returns are increasingly driven by AI, reducing the effectiveness of traditional diversification. Long-term U.S. Treasuries are viewed unfavorably due to upward pressure on yields from high financing demand. - **Stablecoin Evolution**: Stablecoins are transitioning from crypto tools to bridges between digital and traditional finance, with growing use in payments and cross-border transactions. Regulatory developments, like the U.S. Genius Act, could intensify competition with bank deposits. - **Strategic Allocation Preferences**: BlackRock maintains an overweight stance on U.S. stocks, particularly AI-themed equities, and Japanese stocks due to corporate reforms. It is underweight long-term developed market bonds, including Japanese and European sovereign debt. Emerging markets like India are favored for demographic advantages and strategic positioning. The report advises investors to seek active, granular strategies—such as private markets and hedge funds—to navigate this new era of concentrated, AI-driven growth.
