XRP Long-Term Prediction Analyst Dark Defender recently shared that XRP is building a new weekly wave pattern, pointing to a surge toward $18.22–$23.20 soon. The $5.85 level is a key mid target. This follows the same pattern from November 2024. Some analysts say XRP could jump to $25–$75 by mid-2025 thanks to new projects, legal updates, and ETFs creating supply shortages. While others expect a more conservative rise to $8–$10 by the end of the year, due to its growing institutional appeal.
