XRP has experienced notable price movements over the past few weeks. In early December, its price rose to $2.86, its highest since 2018. This bolstered the community’s bullish sentiment. However, it has spent the weeks since then consolidating, failing to come close to this level.
Crypto Bitlord (@crypto_bitlord7), a prominent cryptocurrency expert, addressed this development on X, stating, “This is called a consolidation flush. Designed to shake out the limp weak-handed and prepare our true believers for the next brutal ascent.”
According to him, this phase is a natural part of XRP’s growth cycle and is to strengthen the market by filtering out less committed investors.

XRP’s Recent Consolidation
Following XRP’s rapid ascent in November and early December, analysts anticipate a new all-time high by early January. However, the digital asset’s momentum seems to have stalled, as it has yet to experience another notable breakout. It has held its position above $2 but has failed to regain $2.86 or show any notable signs that it will surpass it soon.
The consolidation period has sparked mixed reactions in the community, but Crypto Bitlord believes this is a strategic pause before XRP’s next significant upward movement. His post emphasized that this is an opportunity for long-term investors to remain steadfast, adding, “This is what you wished for. So embrace the fire. And be ready now.”

Market Context and Bullish Milestones
The broader context surrounding XRP is equally significant. January 20, 2025, is shaping up to be a pivotal date for the cryptocurrency. President-elect Donald Trump will take office, and Gary Gensler, the outgoing SEC Chair, will officially resign the same day. Trump has nominated Paul Atkins, a known advocate for cryptocurrency innovation, as Gensler’s successor.
Atkins’ crypto-friendly stance has raised hopes within the industry that regulatory pressures on digital assets, including XRP, will ease. There is also speculation that the new administration will end the lawsuit against Ripple. This would positively impact XRP’s price and future adoption in the U.S.
Despite the current consolidation, all signs point toward a bright future for XRP, and that explains the optimism shown by Crypto Bitlord and many others in the community. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, has expressed optimism for the new year, and the XRP community shares his excitement for where XRP can go in 2025.
