XRP is getting attention again, but not just because traders are throwing around a $2.55 target. What changed is the setup. The token moved back above the $1.39 area and traded around $1.40, while Bollinger Bands on the daily chart tightened to their narrowest level in about eight months, a pattern many traders read as a sign that a larger move may be close. The bullish case is also tied to a falling wedge structure and lower XRP balances on exchanges, which suggests less immediate sell pressure. What makes this more interesting, in my view, is that the story is bigger than one chart. The broader crypto market has turned a little more willing to take risk again, and Ripple has kept pushing its payments, stablecoin, and institutional XRPL agenda in recent weeks. $2.55 is a target, not a verdict. The market still needs proof.
