- XRP is nearing a $200 billion market cap with strong July gains against Bitcoin, backed by bullish technicals and whale activity.
- If the pattern continues, It could climb toward $258 billion before year-end.
XRP is on the verge of reaching a $200 billion market capitalization for the first time—marking a significant milestone for the altcoin and signaling a major shift in the crypto landscape. If bullish technicals and market dynamics persist, XRP could surge beyond $250 billion, setting new all-time highs.
XRP Outpaces Bitcoin in July Gains
In July alone, XRP has surged more than 35% against Bitcoin, outshining even Ethereum, which has gained over 25% in the same period. This surge has helped XRP reach a market cap of $193.1 billion, just $2.18 billion shy of its all-time high from six months ago.
This performance aligns with the growing altseason narrative, where investors rotate capital out of Bitcoin into altcoins in search of higher returns. Bitcoin’s current consolidation phase has only strengthened this trend, boosting top altcoins like XRP and ETH.
Breakout Pattern Signals Bullish Continuation
XRP recently broke out of a multimonth descending triangle, a classic bullish technical formation. In addition, the breakout—bolstered by rising volume and favorable technical indicators—bears a strong resemblance to XRP’s late-2024 setup. During that period, the asset experienced a sharp rally, with its market capitalization soaring by over 200%.
Technical analysts now eye the triangle’s upside target at around $212 billion, which could be reached as early as August. If XRP successfully pushes past that level, the next major target is the 1.618 Fibonacci extension at approximately $258 billion—a 33% increase from current levels.
Whale Activity and RSI Patterns Add Fuel
Rising whale volumes are reinforcing the bullish sentiment. Analysts also point to XRP entering overbought territory on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a move that previously preceded prolonged gains.
Building on this momentum, the current fractal structure—mirroring the late 2024 rally—indicates that XRP may be poised to repeat its previous performance. If this pattern continues, the asset could approach the $4 mark in the coming weeks, thereby reinforcing its market dominance.
