XRP is showing strength in its Wave 4 bounce following last week’s sharp sell- 
off. While short-term momentum is building, the larger downtrend hasn’t been 
broken yet, leaving the possibility of one final push lower before a true 
recovery can take hold. Wave 4 Relief Bounce Unfolds After Brutal Capitulation 
XRP is currently moving through a Wave 4 relief phase after last Thursday’s 
aggressive sell-off. According to CasiTrades, the intensity of that drop with 
RSI hitting multi-year lows suggests capitulation likely took place. However, 
it also raises the probability that the broader correction may still require 
one more wave down before fully completing. Related Reading: XRP Price To $1 
Or $10? Analyst Warns Investors Of Possible Crash The rebound since that flush 
has shown strength, which is typical for a Wave 4 reaction after a deeply 
oversold move. So far, price has already reached the first Wave 4 target at 
the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement near $1.52. This level also aligns with the 
macro 0.65 retracement, creating a strong confluence zone where temporary 
resistance would be expected during a bounce of this nature. There is still 
room for the relief to extend higher toward the $1.65 region, where the 0.5 
retracement and macro 0.618 Fib converge. That level now stands as the key 
decision point. A sustained move above it would strengthen the recovery 
outlook, while rejection there would increase the likelihood of a wave down to 
complete the correction. $1.65: The Line In The Sand For XRP’s Next Big Move 
Analyst CasiTrades further explained that if price fails to reclaim and hold 
$1.65 as support, it would likely pave the way for a final impulsive leg 
lower, with downside targets sitting around $1.09 and potentially as deep as 
the $0.90 region. Related Reading: XRP Price Above $1.50 Could Flip Sentiment 
And Fuel Recovery She noted that the recent relief rally has already helped 
reset the RSI from extremely oversold conditions. As a result, a drop into 
those lower targets could form a bullish divergence on momentum indicators, 
which often marks strong long-term buying opportunities, if the setup 
materializes. On the other hand, if XRP successfully breaks above $1.65 and 
flips it into solid support, the outlook shifts. In that scenario, the focus 
would be on waiting for a confirmed back-test of the reclaimed level, using 
that strength as a more favorable and structured entry rather than chasing 
price prematurely. CasiTrades emphasized that this is not the moment for panic 
selling. XRP is hovering near the deeper end of a broader correction, and 
major technical levels across exchanges have already been tested. Thus, the 
anticipated final wave down either shortens or fails altogether, potentially 
marking the beginning of a stronger recovery phase. Featured image from

Coinbase vs. Nevada: Who Regulates Prediction Market Event Contracts?

XRP and Bitcoin (BTC) were pitted against each other in a recent analysis, 
with market expert X Finance Bull revealing what early investors could have 
gained if they had invested $500 into both XRP and BTC in 2014. The analysis 
compares the performance of both cryptocurrencies over the years, highlighting 
the factors behind XRP’s growth and sustained momentum. What $500 In Bitcoin 
And XRP in 2014 Is Worth Today A new analysis by X Finance Bull reveals the 
dramatic growth potential of early investments in Bitcoin and XRP. According 
to the report, a $500 investment in XRP at the 2014 lows would be worth 
approximately $255,000 today. He compares XRP’s gains with those of Bitcoin, 
noting that if investors had bet the same amount in BTC in 2014, their 
investments would have grown to around $133,000. Related Reading: Analysts At

These figures suggest that XRP outperformed Bitcoin by more than twice over 
the same period, delivering a 511-fold return, compared to BTC’s 266-fold 
gain. During that time, XRP’s performance benefited not only from early, 
steady adoption and speculative interest but also from the continued 
development of its underlying payment system. Over the years, XRP has moved 
beyond a purely speculative asset, gaining more traction as it evolves into a 
potential global settlement layer. Sharing similar sentiments, X Finance Bull 
highlighted how XRP’s infrastructure developments have significantly supported 
its significant price growth today. He noted that the cryptocurrency has seen 
major progress in areas such as Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), banking 
licenses, and enterprise-level adoption. Notably, XRP Spot ETFs officially 
launched in November 2025, attracting massive inflows that have significantly 
boosted demand for XRP among institutional investors. In addition, the Office 
of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has conditionally approved Ripple’s 
application to establish a national trust bank charter. All of these 
developments have contributed to XRP’s price growth over the past few months. 
Investors Reap Rewards For Holding XRP Through Volatility In his post, X 
Finance Bull suggested that investors who held onto their XRP positions 
through the volatile years “know why they held.” Following the 
cryptocurrency’s dramatic rally above $3, many investors reaped the rewards of 
staying invested from its lows and trusting in its potential for future price 
appreciation. Related Reading: XRP’s 1,500% Path To $24: Analyst Warns 
Investors To Be Prepared For When The Correction Resolves From 2018 to 2025, 
XRP struggled with a lawsuit filed by the US Securities and Exchange 
Commission (SEC). During those years of legal turmoil, many investors 
continued to hold onto their XRP despite the uncertainty and price stagnancy. 
Following Ripple’s legal win, XRP surpassed $3 in 2025, marking its first 
break above that level since 2018. Compared to XRP, Bitcoin has also 
experienced significant growth in the past few years. After crossing the 
$100,000 threshold in 2024, BTC continued its surge into 2025, finally hitting 
a peak above $126,000 in October. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from
