Looking at the XRP chart, I just noticed something quite interesting. From the $0.49 level at the end of 2024, XRP jumped to $3.65 in mid-2025 — a 647% increase. Then it dropped sharply by 70%, but analysts still believe the trend is not over. Analyst Javon Marks suggests that the $15 target is still valid, meaning over 900% growth from the current position. This calculation is based on Elliott Wave theory — when the price breaks out of a multi-year accumulation triangle (like XRP in November 2024), the target is calculated by taking the height of the pattern and extending it from the breakout point. XForceGlobal, a recognized Elliott Wave expert, also confirms this view. According to him, recent months are not signs of weakness but “compression” — a consolidation phase before a breakout. The next Fibonacci targets mentioned are $5-$10. There’s another interesting detail: XRP has just experienced five consecutive months of decline, something that hasn’t happened since the 2016-2017 period. And you know what? After that decline, 2017 saw a huge rally. History doesn’t repeat exactly, but it often rhymes. Additionally, weaker investors sold off over $900 million in a single week recently. This could be a positive signal — the remaining holders are now more likely to be strong long-term investors. Currently, XRP is trading around $1.42, down 0.76% in 24 hours. Some commentators even predict 2026 could be a turning point, with targets ranging from $4 to $83 depending on the analysis model. Anyway, from the current level, those figures represent significant profit.

I just noticed that Bitcoin has surged above $77.8K today, a pretty significant rebound considering it dropped last weekend. The US equity market is also starting to rebound nicely, with the Nasdaq, which had fallen 2% last night, now only slightly corrected. This makes the crypto coin stock news today quite positive, as seen from Ether's small increase, with Solana and XRP also turning green. What’s interesting is that macro data is beginning to show signs of recovery. The ISM manufacturing PMI at 52.4 indicates the manufacturing sector has grown for two consecutive months, the first time since late 2022. The Chicago Business Barometer also jumped to 57.7, well above expectations. This signals the strongest US economic activity since May 2022, which could be a reason the crypto market is starting to be optimistic again. But there’s background tension in the Middle East that’s pushing oil prices higher, plus last week’s hot PPI data. This combination makes the market hesitant about a rate cut in March; the Fed meeting on March 18 probably won’t see a rate cut. So now we’re in a phase where strong economic growth is competing with inflation concerns, and crypto is taking advantage of this rebound momentum. Stock market and crypto coin news are reinforcing each other—interesting times.
