If bullish trends continue, Ryan Lee from Bitget Research predicts a potential 30% price surge for XRP. He attributes this forecast to possible positive developments in Ripple’s ongoing legal case with the SEC.
Further supporting this bullish outlook, analysts on social media have expressed confidence in XRP’s trajectory. Popular crypto influencer Dark Defender tweeted that a breakout is “imminent,” calling for the XRP Army to prepare.
