Prominent community figure Zach Rector has forecasted that XRP may be setting up for a repeat of its June–July 2025 breakout.
XRP Could June/July 2025 Performance
For context, XRP traded largely around the $2 level in June, with prices ranging from $1.91 to $2.33. However, as expectations of a final resolution in the Ripple lawsuit intensified, the token launched a powerful rally
Consequently, it climbed to a multi-year high of $3.65 in mid-July 2025, marking an 82.5% surge from the roughly $2 level at which it traded for most of the previous month.
By mapping XRP’s June-July 2025 performance onto current market conditions, Rector suggests that the token’s rebound could closely mirror that earlier breakout. According to his chart, XRP recently traded around $2.12 after recovering from a sharp December pullback that drove its price to a low of $1.77
Building on this setup, Rector’s analysis suggests that XRP could rally towards the $3.6 level from its current price, effectively replicating its June–July 2025 surge
XRP to Revisit $36## Market Context
His projection comes as XRP and other major crypto assets post moderate gains. XRP opened the year at $1.84 and has since recorded steady upside, pushing its price above $2 and to a monthly high of $2.17 earlier today
At press time, the token traded at $2.14, reflecting a 16.3% gain since the start of the year. Additionally, XRP has climbed 12.6% over the past week and 2.68% in the last 24 hours.
Interestingly, the token has reclaimed the fourth spot in the crypto market rankings after overtaking BNB. From its current price of $2.14, XRP would need to rally by 70.56% to reach $3.65. Such a move would lift its market cap from $129.32 billion to approximately $221.46 billion.
Although XRP last traded at $3.6 six months ago, investor confidence in a renewed rally remains strong. Market participants continue to point to potential catalysts, including rising ETF demand and the possible passage of the CLARITY Act, which is scheduled for markup later this month
