Crypto Insight UK has reinforced its prediction that XRP must undergo one final, intense shakeout before reaching the long-anticipated $10 milestone. In a recent video, the British analyst cautioned that "the most dense liquidity I’ve seen in a long time for XRP" remains uncollected beneath current market prices. He argues that until this liquidity is tapped, the market will not facilitate the upward movement he expects to propel the token into double-digit territory.
The analyst expressed concern that "XRP didn’t come down as low as we wanted," indicating that while it did hit the first significant liquidity area, it did not clear it entirely. This suggests to him that continued downside movement is likely. His trading plan includes resting bids around $2.01 and $1.95, a range he believes will be tested once leveraged long positions capitulate. He maintains that only after this "final flush" can a rally towards $10 commence in earnest.
This forecast emerges amidst a broader market strength that has yet to result in a sustained breakout for altcoins. Silver is approaching decade-highs near $36 per ounce, uranium contracts are nearing recent peaks, and the Nasdaq Composite is close to its all-time high. Despite what he describes as "a broad-based commodities rally," the analyst insists that the crypto market still requires one additional washout to eliminate residual excess.
He highlighted macro-political tensions, particularly the public dispute between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump—triggered by Trump's proposed four-trillion-dollar spending bill and Musk's claim regarding Trump's association with sealed Epstein files—as a narrative that briefly unsettled risk markets. He remarked, "If it brings the price to where I want it to go, fantastic," underscoring his focus on the market's movements.
Regarding Ethereum, he perceives a similar situation. Open interest in ETH futures is at all-time highs, which he interprets as a sign that institutions are accumulating spot ETH while shorting derivatives for hedging—an arrangement that could unwind dramatically if ETH surpasses the $2,800 mark. He predicted, "When we get this squeeze to the upside, we’ll see a fast move back toward all-time highs for ETH, probably toward $4,500 before you know it."
Bitcoin has already entered the analyst’s favored liquidity zone just above $100,000. He remarked that whether Bitcoin requires another dip is less significant than the implications for its dominance. A brief increase in Bitcoin's market share toward 65.5% could coincide with an XRP capitulation, setting the stage for what he refers to as "crazy season," a term for a complete altcoin cycle. The key factor remains XRP liquidity.
The analyst shared heat-map visuals illustrating concentrated stop-loss orders beneath the May swing low. He noted that many investors went long after believing "the bottom’s in," contributing to the liquidity below current prices. Until this layer is cleared, he believes there is an "80% chance" that prices will dip lower, despite his own portfolio being predominantly in spot XRP. "If it goes up now, I’m happy. But I’d be highly surprised if we don’t get that push down," he admitted.
Nonetheless, his overall outlook is decidedly bullish. Once the liquidity is harvested, he anticipates a classic bullish divergence on the daily relative strength index—"lower low on price, higher low on RSI"—which would trigger what he calls the "next big push." In this scenario, XRP would not only revisit its 2021 peak near $3.80 but could exceed the analyst’s long-standing $10 target. "Let it send," he concluded. At the time of reporting, XRP was trading at $2.17.
