Tim Draper Bets Big Again, Calls $250K Bitcoin in Six Months

XRP continues to show underlying strength despite facing rejection near recent 
highs, with the broader structure remaining intact. As long as the price holds 
above the key $1.30 level, the bullish bias remains in play, signaling that 
the latest pullback may be a consolidation rather than the start of a deeper 
reversal. Multi-Year Breakout Holds As XRP Builds For The Next Expansion 
During a recent analysis, Crypto Patel highlighted that XRP is trading above a 
confirmed multi-year breakout zone on the higher-timeframe chart, following 
the completion of a prolonged accumulation phase. After delivering a powerful 
expansion move, price action now appears to be building a structure for the 
next potential leg higher. Related Reading: XRP Is Doing Something It Hasn’t 
Done Since 2021: Here’s Why It Matters From a technical perspective, XRP has 
already achieved a decisive breakout from a descending wedge that developed 
between 2020 and 2024. This breakout triggered a rally of more than 600% from 
the $0.60 level, reinforcing the strength of the broader bullish trend and 
confirming the shift in long-term market structure. Price is currently 
respecting a key fair value gap and accumulation zone between $1.90 and $1.30, 
an area that continues to act as a critical demand region. As long as XRP 
remains above $1.30, the higher-timeframe bullish structure stays intact, 
keeping the broader upside thesis firmly in play. Looking ahead, Crypto Patel 
maintains ambitious upside targets at $3.50, $5.00, $8.70, and potentially 
above $10 over the longer term. The bullish outlook would be invalidated only 
by a higher-timeframe close below the $1.30 level, which would signal a 
breakdown in structure and shift the bias. Trendline Structure Holds Despite 
Rejection Near $2.37 In another XRP update, Umair Crypto noted that the 
broader trendline structure remains intact despite the recent push above a key 
psychological level and rejection near $2.37. While momentum indicators showed 
early weakness, the price reaction did not result in a confirmed breakdown of 
the overall structure. Related Reading: XRP Price Is Approaching A Key 
Decision Zone, But Structure Is Still Firmly Bullish According to the 
analysis, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) broke down ahead of price, 
followed by XRP losing the range Point of Control (POC). This sequence 
triggered a sharp pullback, but importantly, the move lacked clear structural 
failure, suggesting the decline was corrective rather than trend-ending. 
Relative strength continues to stand out. During the ETH-led market flush, XRP 
experienced a sell-off but rebounded quickly, outperforming many ETH beta 
assets. This behavior suggests capital rotation into relative strength rather 
than a broad-based distribution across the market. Looking ahead, the bias 
remains constructive as long as the trendline holds and the price can reclaim 
value above the range POC. However, sustained acceptance below this area would 
invalidate the bullish setup and shift the focus toward lower levels. Featured
