Why Analysts See A $5 Target for XRP Price in Q4 2025

Several key metrics, including exchange supply and on-chain momentum, as well as network activity and regulatory breakthroughs, are looking up for the Ripple token, triggering renewed optimism across the XRP community. As supply dries up and technical momentum builds, analysts say the setup resembles the start of previous multi-week rallies that pushed XRP to new highs. 5 Reasons Why XRP Could Reach $5 in Q4 2025 The XRP token was trading for $2.40 as of this writing, down by almost 5% in the last 24 hours. However, several metrics suggest that there is more upside potential, potentially reaching the $5 mark. Such a move would constitute a 108.3% move above the current price.

Exchange Balances Hit Record Lows Citing data from Glassnode, data shared by market analyst Steph is Crypto shows that more than 216 million XRP, valued at $556 million, were withdrawn from exchanges this week. “Confidence is back!” the analyst wrote on X (Twitter), highlighting a historic drawdown in available supply.

Conversely, moving tokens to exchanges often suggests intention to sell, with the resulting bearish sentiment impeding potential for a rally. 2. On-Chain Momentum Mirrors 75% Rally Setup Further, trader Onur pointed out that XRP’s Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), a metric tracking buy-sell pressure, has just flipped bullish for the first time in months. “A textbook cup-and-handle setup is forming, with a clean technical breakout pointing toward $5,” he said. “Last time the spot taker CVD flipped this bullish, XRP rallied 75% in weeks.” XRP’s CVD.

Network Activity at Three-Month High Additionally, data from CryptoQuant shows that active XRP addresses have reached their highest level since August, signifying a three-month high. Notably, this level has historically preceded upward price movements, and if history rhymes or repeats itself, the Ripple price could rally soon. XRP Active Addresses.

XRP Dominance Surges as Bitcoin Weakens Meanwhile, as of mid-November, XRP’s market dominance (XRP.D) is rising sharply while Bitcoin’s (BTC.D) declines. The shift suggests that investors are rotating into XRP as a hedge during broader market uncertainty. XRP dominance vs BTC dominance.
