In a recent post on X, renowned trader Crypto Lord declared, “XRP shakeout was unsuccessful. Holders remain unfazed. This is the plan.” His statement comes amid heightened market volatility and renewed speculation surrounding XRP’s trajectory and potential for the token’s ascent to $24.
According to Crypto Lord, recent price dips aimed at triggering panic selling failed to shake the resolve of long-term holders. Instead, investor confidence remains intact, and that may set the stage for the next leg up.
XRP Price Holds Firm Amid Market Volatility
After a sharp rally to $3.64, XRP briefly pulled back to the $3.16–$3.20 range, where it currently trades. Despite the correction, the price remains above key support at $3.00, a level that has proven resilient amid broader market sell-offs.

The token recently broke out of a six-year consolidation pattern, fueling hopes for a sustained bull run. Technical analysts point to the breakout as a signal of long-term strength, provided XRP can maintain momentum above $3.50 resistance.
XRP’s recent pullback followed profit-taking after the breakout. However, analysts still see a clear path toward $5.25 to $6.19, especially if the next rally is backed by increased volume and institutional flows.
Institutional Catalysts and Regulatory Winds
Speculation around a potential XRP spot ETF continues to build, with rumors linking firms like BlackRock and Grayscale to ongoing discussions. Meanwhile, U.S. legislative developments, such as the passage of the GENIUS Act and regulatory reforms under President Trump, are fueling optimism. These moves could allow cryptocurrencies, including XRP, into 401(k) retirement plans, driving a new wave of institutional adoption.

Standard Chartered and other financial institutions have reiterated medium-term targets in the $5.50–$6.00 range, citing Ripple’s real-world use case in cross-border settlements and growing clarity around U.S. crypto policy.
Failed Shakeout Validates Holder Conviction
Crypto Lord’s assertion that the recent shakeout attempt failed highlights an important trend: XRP holders are no longer easily rattled by short-term volatility. Instead of panic selling, many chose to hold or accumulate during the dip, reinforcing XRP’s position above crucial support levels. This behavior stands in contrast to earlier market phases, where similar pressure resulted in steep declines.
Long-term investors appear to be betting on regulatory clarity and broader adoption as drivers of sustainable price growth. The ability to withstand engineered price drops suggests that XRP’s investor base is maturing, further strengthening its foundation.
What’s Next for XRP?
If XRP can break decisively above $3.60, analysts believe the token could test highs near $5.00 and potentially climb toward $6.00. However, if the price falls below $3.00, a deeper correction toward $2.60–$2.20 remains possible. The outcome will likely depend on Bitcoin’s performance, overall market sentiment, and the pace of institutional inflows.
For now, Crypto Lord’s post affirms that the latest shakeout attempt has only strengthened XRP’s bullish narrative. The holders didn’t flinch, and that conviction may prove pivotal in the weeks ahead.
