Crypto analysis: What can you expect from XRP next month?

With a revival in the cryptomarkt we also see the XRP race again. After a low point at the beginning of April, where the coin sank to around $ 1.65, XRP has since recovered to $ 2.23 at the time of writing. With that we are again approaching the price level at which we ended in March. The big question now is: what brings May? Can we extend the positive line, or is there another correction lurking?

Trust grows at XRP community

It promises to be a decisive month for Ripple’s Crypto. The Munt is currently balancing at an intersection: on the one hand there is growing trust with long -term investors. For example, approval of a spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is in the air, although we were told today that we can probably expect it until late this year. Yet the positivity is not surprising, because with the Bitcoin (BTC) funds we already saw that this can cause enormous capital flows.

The current political climate in the United States also plays an important role. Donald Trump is increasingly profiling himself as pro-Crypto, and that already seems to be bearing fruit. For example, the lawsuit of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Ripple Labs has since been swept off the table, a development that can considerably strengthen confidence in XRP in the long term.

Downside

Nevertheless, in the short term there will be a good chance that the XRP course will experience some pressure. On the other hand, we see that the network activity remains worryingly low, according to Data from Blockchain Analysis Platform Santiment.

For example, the number of active addresses on the XRP network, measured over a seven -day average, has fallen considerably in recent weeks. This number is currently approximately 147,000, which indicates a significant decrease in user activity. For comparison: at the peak on March 19, 2025, another record of 1.22 million active addresses was reached. However, since 1 April 2025, the number of active addresses has constantly remained below 200,000.

This structural relapse clearly indicates reduced involvement within the network, which is a risk for continuing a sustainable price increase in the short term.

With regard to the race, there is a strong resistance zone around $ 2.50 that led to a major correction in March. Only when it is broken is the $ 3 limit is a realistic goal. If the price goes down again, the psychological level of $ 2 is important to stay above. But as always, the direction is mainly determined by what Bitcoin has in store.
