Ripple\u2019s cross-border token headed south over the past few days, plunging to its lowest level since the start of the month.<\/p>\n

However, numerous factors and indicators suggest that a rebound could be on the way, while many analysts remain optimistic that a bull run is knocking on the door.<\/p>\n

No Need to Panic?<\/h2>\n

The past 24 hours have not been favorable for the cryptocurrency market, with many leading digital assets posting substantial losses amid renewed tensions between the US and Iran. Recall that American President Donald Trump threatened<\/a> the Asian country that the clock is ticking, warning them to act fast, \u201cor there won\u2019t be anything left of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US leader went even further, depicting<\/a> himself in a spacecraft outside Earth and pressing a red button as countless bombs detonate in the background.<\/p>\n

Ripple\u2019s XRP is not among the few exceptions in green today (May 18) as its price fell to around $1.38 (according to CoinGecko). This represents a 5% weekly decline, returning to a level last observed nearly three weeks ago.<\/p>\n

The pullback hasn\u2019t managed to spread fear across crypto X, where numerous analysts remain bullish that XRP is gearing up for a major pump. The one using the moniker CoinForge, for instance, claimed<\/a> that the asset looks \u201cinsane\u201d right now and stands at a critical level that sent it up 700% last time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MACD has just done a deep golden cross, and it is primed for an expansion. The target is just south of $5, and that would be a 240% jump,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

JAVON MARKS and Celal Kucuker also made highly optimistic forecasts. The former argued<\/a> that XRP is still \u201cholding broken out\u201d against BTC and has the potential to outperform by nearly 800%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis fulfilling, which a breakout similar to this one has done before, can result in XRP being priced above $10,\u201d their analysis reads.<\/p>\n

For their part, Celal Kucuker thinks<\/a> the asset is ready for a massive breakout, claiming the valuation could exceed the ridiculous (at least as of now) $15.<\/p>\n

Further Insight<\/h2>\n

The substantial inflows into spot XRP ETFs lately reinforce the optimistic outlook. SoSoValue\u2019s data shows that the last day when outflows dominated was April 30, while the past week was the strongest<\/a> since December.<\/p>\n

Since their launch, these financial products have generated a cumulative net inflow of almost $1.4 billion, signaling strong interest from institutional investors and potentially setting the stage for upward price momentum.<\/p>\n

Next on the list is the declining amount of XRP tokens stored on Binance. According to CryptoQuant, the figure dropped to a monthly low of around 2.75 million coins, suggesting that investors have shifted toward self-custody methods, thereby reducing immediate selling pressure.<\/p>\n
