Analyst: XRP could hit $15 as CLARITY Act advances

Crypto analyst Crypto Patel projects XRP could rally to $5, $10 or $15 after the token holds a $0.70–$1.00 accumulation zone he described as a “quiet accumulation.” Patel released the outlook as the CLARITY Act progresses in the U.S. Senate.

Patel’s charting shows XRP pulling back after failing to clear a $3.20–$3.50 resistance band and drifting toward a green demand zone he identified between $1.00 and $0.70. He set upside targets at $5, $10 and $15 if XRP repeats a prior cycle-style expansion. Patel compared the current range to a 2022–2024 base that preceded a rally in late 2024.

The CLARITY Act, now advancing in the Senate, would define when digital assets are treated as securities or commodities under U.S. law. Market participants referenced the bill as a possible catalyst for increased investment activity if it becomes law.

Other market commentators named XRP among altcoins that could enter a sustained bull market should the CLARITY Act pass. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe wrote he will remain “fully allocated toward altcoins” for his personal portfolio.

On-chain data from Santiment showed a weekend spike in activity on the XRP Ledger. Santiment reported 48,453 active addresses in a 24-hour period, the highest level since March 30, and 3,317 new addresses, the most since March 19. The analytics provider also noted whale wallets were accumulating XRP at record levels and wrote, “Higher adoption helps justify higher prices,” if the trend continues.

Short-term technicals present a downside scenario. XRP’s daily chart has formed a symmetrical triangle after months of lower highs and higher lows. Patel pointed to a recent rejection near the triangle’s upper trend line. A break below the lower trend line would flip the setup to bearish and could open a measured move toward the $1.00–$1.10 support area, about a 20% decline from recent levels.

Patel described the $0.70–$1.00 zone as a longer-term accumulation range and characterized current low retail interest as a factor in his analysis. He wrote the pattern may precede a larger breakout if regulatory clarity and renewed demand align.

XRP experienced significant volatility from 2022 through 2024 amid legal and macroeconomic developments. A rally in late 2024 followed a major political event that participants said increased risk appetite in crypto markets. Observers caution regulatory outcomes, technical breakdowns and shifts in investor sentiment remain risk factors for any sustained price advance.
