Key takeaways:

  • July’s monthly candle close can become XRP’s highest ever.

  • A close above $3.03 could stage a rally to $7-$11, according to analysts.


XRP  (XRP) will “pump hard” into price discovery if it produces a record monthly close on Thursday, according to one market analyst.

In his latest analysis on X, trader Egrag Crypto said that $3.03 is now the key XRP price level to watch.

XRP price needs a monthly close above $3.03

Data from Coinpectra Markets Pro and TradingView showed XRP/USD gaining 1% on Thursday to near monthly record highs.

To achieve the highest monthly close ever, XRP’s price must end July in the green above $3.03, which hasn’t happened since January 2025.

The XRP/USD pair has failed in past cycles to produce a decisive close above this level, an achievement that could put XRP on the path to price discovery, according to Egrag Crypto.

“Closing above $3.03 would mark the first-ever historical candle close above this level in XRP’s journey,” he said.

“The Chasm” is a key resistance line that connects previous cycle highs, where each cycle begins with a bullish crossover between the 21-month EMA and the 33 SMA, a crucial signal of the macro trend. Historically, touching it has triggered impressive parabolic rises.

Touching “The Chasm” would put XRP’s initial target at $11, and surpassing it could trigger a rally up to $37, replicating historical patterns of parabolic growth. 

“XRP will pump hard today into the monthly close,” pseudonymous crypto investor Crypto Bitlord told his X followers on Thursday, adding that such a move would send the price to $7.

Fellow analyst Cryptollica said XRP’s breakout from a descending pattern on the two-week chart targets $10.

As Coinpectra reported, some see consolidation continuing for some time in line with classic price action after a strong rally. In contrast, others believe selling pressure could persist, citing a spike in profit taking.

XRP aims for sixth straight green July

Meanwhile, XRP is on track to seal its sixth “green” July in a row, according to data from CryptoRank. 

At 42%, July 2025 would end up XRP’s third most successful seventh month of the year in history.
