XRP registered higher increases than other leading cryptos on August 8, increasing 10.97% to $3.33. It comes after the end of the already long Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit, which had taken nearly five years. Analysts expect the token to rally toward $10 following the development.
The legal breakthrough removes a major cloud over XRP. On August 8, 2025, the SEC ended its case, with Ripple agreeing to pay a $125 million penalty and follow rules restricting unregistered institutional sales.
Analysts eye multi-year pattern supporting rally
GalaxyBTC forecasts XRP reaching $10 based on a repeating trend. From 2014 to 2017, XRP made higher lows and then broke resistance. From 2020 to 2025, there were similar higher lows. GalaxyBTC indicates that a breakout from above $3.35, turning into support, would cause a significant rally.
If XRP hits the anticipated movement, then its market capitalization will top $580 billion. That is under the presumption that the supply remains at 58 million coins. Technicians expect the next movement to hinge upon breaking through powerful resistance and establishing further support levels without severe reversals.
XRP resistance and support levels
XRP is trying the $3.36-$3.63 resistance area, which has triggered previous corrections. A verified breakout would potentially clear the way to $4.20. In the meantime, the $3.15 level represents near-term support, with risk down to $2.78 if the market does not hold.
Bollinger Bands are expanding following a squeeze, which signals coming volatility. MACD has gone bullish as the MACD line crossed above the signal line in the vicinity of zero. Continual buying intent may push XRP up to $4.20–$4.50, if volume verifies the breakout power above $3.63.
Derivative market sees explosive growth

CrediBULL Crypto expects $3.80 to break soon as part of an initial bullish phase with higher goals. The lawsuit’s closure is fueling institutional buying. Speculation points toward big price movements in the coming weeks.
