Crypto’s Big Break: XRP And Bitcoin Price Set To Slay Q3

 

• Bitcoin price just hit $110,914 and may enter a two-phase rally—first soaring to $130,000 before a sharp correction to $92,000, then bouncing to $120,000.
• XRP price has held strong in the $2–$3 range for over 200 days, showing signs of a major breakout.
• Experts warn greed could backfire, and a spike to $25 XRP might be short-lived, lasting just 48 hours before a crash.

The market’s about to go green as it dives into Q3, the phase where Bitcoin and XRP could flex some serious muscle. June saw these two heavyweights close their highest three-month candles ever, and now, with July heating up, the charts are screaming potential.  Let’s break it down and unpack what’s coming for XRP and Bitcoin price. 

XRP Price Is Ready to Pop Off

The XRP price is starting to trend to the upside. Back in November 2024, it was sitting at $0.5, but since then, XRP has been grinding, now holding the $2-3 range for 219 days. That is some serious staying power, signaling bulls are holding the line for a potential breakout to the upside.

Last year’s dip to $0.40 in July was like the calm before the storm, mirroring February 2017’s lows before XRP went full send to the moon. 

Historically, after the 473-day grind in 2017, XRP broke out, and this cycle’s 485-day slog is giving déjà vu. Despite some FUD and impatience at the $2 mark, XRP’s already up over 400% since last July. Not too shabby. Breaking out from the current consolidation could send the price of XRP to $10 and beyond.

The first week of July is pegged as a pivot point, and with “Crypto Week” happening July 14-18, it’s about to be an “all eyes on crypto” moment.

For XRP, late July into early August is looking like prime time for price discovery. Conservative bets show XRP could hit $7-8 by August 23, 2025, with some analysts eyeing $10-15 by September 7.

If Bitcoin dominance dips (currently at 62.5%)  and BTC moves definitively beyond its previous all-time high price, XRP could even touch $20 in a “mind-melting blowoff top.”

Bitcoin Price Teases Two-Stage Rocket Ride

On the other side, Bitcoin price action just received a major boost, gaining 1.3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $110,914. What’s more, the market cycle is looking like it may be a two-stage rocket. 

In stage one, BTC blasts into price discovery, potentially hitting $120,000-$140,000, with $130,000 as the sweet spot. However, this surge upward triggers a 25-30% correction that could drag it back to $92,000, filling the CME gap.

Stage two involves a relief rally to $115,000-$120,000, setting up a “bull trap” like 2017, where alts like XRP could steal the show. 

If this plays out, Q4 might see XRP hit that $15 mark, especially if Bitcoin keeps climbing into October or November. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and this cycle’s feeling longer and tougher than 2017’s wild ride.

Exit Strategy Is Key

The SEC noise about XRP is a total distraction. Analysts are shrugging it off, predicting it may have zero pull on XRP’s upside. The real focus is on the charts and market vibes.

Greed is a trap, so it may be wise to have an exit strategy or be left holding the bag. A $15 XRP could spike to $25, but that 60-70% move might last just 48 hours before a crash, like past cycles where prices tanked for weeks on end after peaking. XRP and Bitcoin price are at a crossroads, with Q3 poised to deliver some serious gains or chaos.
