Crypto analyst Dark Defender predicts XRP could reach $5 in 2025, fueled by growing whale activity. Recent data shows over $700 million worth of XRP moved in significant transactions, sparking excitement in the market.
Whale Alert revealed a notable transfer of 300 million XRP (worth $649.8 million) to Ripple. Additionally, 30 million XRP was moved to the Bithumb exchange, hinting at a possible sell-off that might create selling pressure.

Despite this, Dark Defender remains optimistic, predicting a first Fibonacci target of $5.85 for XRP. He highlighted that XRP has completed its corrective pattern on the weekly charts and expects the crypto to break a key triangle formation within a week. His bullish chart also suggests that XRP could rally as high as $18 during this market cycle.
Other analysts share this optimism. CasiTrades forecasts a rebound to $2.60, with XRP currently trading at 2.41, after a 14% surge in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, Mikybull Crypto describes XRP’s chart as one of the most bullish in the market, pointing to a potential double-digit rally.
Egrag Crypto takes it further, predicting a parabolic surge to $27, reminiscent of XRP’s 2017 bull run. As XRP gains momentum, these predictions showcase the growing enthusiasm among analysts and investors.
While whale activity can introduce volatility, many see it as a stepping stone toward XRP’s next big move. With predictions ranging from $5 to $27, 2025 could be a transformative year for XRP enthusiasts.
