Interest is building among XRP investors after Crypto Beast, a well‑known 
analyst, put forward a bold forecast. He sees a minimum breakout level of $8 
on the horizon. With the US Securities and Exchange Commission no longer 
posing a roadblock, Crypto Beast believes XRP has a clear path ahead. Related

His view rests on the idea that the market still hasn’t fully priced in XRP’s 
cleared status with regulators. Short‑term traders and long‑term holders alike 
are tuning in. Regulatory Milestone And Market Reaction According to court 
records, XRP won a key victory in July 2023 when Judge Analisa Torres ruled 
that it’s not a security under US law. That moment sent XRP from about $0.48 
to $0.93 very fast. But prices slipped back over the next few weeks, bringing 
it down to the $0.50 area again. Then, after US President Donald Trump won 
re‑election and signaled a shake‑up at the SEC, XRP marched into a new range 
around $2.00. Despite that climb, Crypto Beast argues the legal win hasn’t 
been fully valued by the wider market. XRP is about to explode. I’m eyeing at 
least $8, and the market still hasn’t caught up to the fact that the SEC 
doesn’t consider it a security.$XRP holders are about to PRINT. I’ll drop the 
signal to exit right here when the moment is right. You’ll regret not

16, 2025 Technical Pattern Points To Upside Crypto Beast pointed to a bull 
flag chart pattern that starts with a rally from $0.40 up to $3.40. A flag 
pattern formed when XRP pulled back into the $2.00–$3.00 zone. He marked the 
breakout level at $3.37. By measuring the height of that $3.00 pole and adding 
it to the low of the flag, he arrived at a target near $10.69. In another 
post, he set a more conservative floor of $8.80, a roughly 4x gain from 
today’s price around $2.20. That kind of move would push XRP’s market cap 
above $500 billion, putting it in league with big firms like Oracle, Netflix 
and Mastercard. Broader Crypto Trends And Correlation Based on reports from 
his channel, Crypto Beast isn’t just upbeat on XRP price about to &#8220;explode&#8221;. 
He’s looking for a 3x rise in Solana, a 2x pop in Ethereum and a 5x run in 
SUI. Even more, he’s penciled in potential 40x gains for select smaller 
tokens. Still, these forecasts rest on a growing crypto mood—mostly led by 
Bitcoin. When BTC stalls or dips, large altcoins often follow suit. So any 
rally in XRP may need fresh money flowing into the whole market. Related

Activity Risks And Exit Strategy Crypto Beast says he’ll flag when it’s time 
to sell. He reminded followers that patterns do fail and charts alone can’t 
guarantee gains. A sudden market shift or a change in macro sentiment could 
spoil the setup. He advises setting stop‑loss levels and watching BTC for 
hints. His trust in XRP’s future is strong, but he wants traders to be ready 
for any twist. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
