TL;DR
- Given XRP’s explosive growth at one point in 2025, the asset has left a big price gap, which is positioned just under its current trading levels.
- Here’s what that means and if (or how) it can impact the price of Ripple’s cross-border payments token.

The chart by the popular analyst highlights XRP’s price gap positioned between $2.51 and $2.73. It’s identified using Glassnode’s UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD), a metric tracking the price at which existing tokens were last transacted. It suggests potential market resistance or support levels based on historical data.
The graph highlights several similar gaps on XRP’s chart, but most of these (although more significant) are positioned further below the current levels. As such, Martinez doubled down on his belief that the $2.71 support is crucial in determining the asset’s future behavior.
As reported earlier this week, he noted that if XRP successfully defends that level, which it has over the past few days, it could bounce back toward its all-time high of $3.60.
Other analysts outlined two more plausible scenarios for the asset’s upcoming moves, which include a surge beyond $3.20 or a substantial decline below that price gap to $2.20. According to ERGAG CRYPTO, this move lies on whether XRP can indeed remain above the $2.70 support.
The XRP Army also remains bullish as one of its most vocal and popular members, going under the X handle Cobb, predicted that Ripple’s underlying asset will “never trade below $2.50 again.”
For now, XRP remains around $2.80 after bouncing off the aforementioned support. However, it’s still 7% down weekly and was surpassed by Tether’s USDT in terms of market cap.

XRP Critical Three Weeks: U.S. Senate Legislative Progress Could Decide Whether to Break Above $1.60 or Fall Below $1.20
As the XRP price enters a key policy window, the progress of the U.S. Senate's “CLARITY Act” over the next three weeks will affect its 2026 outlook. XRP is currently trading at about $1.34; if the bill passes smoothly, it could bring in $4.0 billion to $8.0 billion in capital inflows, driving the price higher. Otherwise, it will depend on the broader macro environment and could fall to below $1.20. Policy progress is the dominant factor right now, and April will become a crucial turning point.

Grayscale: Quantum computing or early breakthroughs are accelerating—preparing for post-quantum encryption is urgent.
Grayscale research director said that technical breakthroughs in quantum computing could introduce uncertainty, so public blockchains need to accelerate the deployment of post-quantum cryptography. A Google paper highlights the time sensitivity of quantum risk, specifically noting that if quantum computers reach a certain number of logical qubits, they will threaten existing encryption systems. Solana and the XRP Ledger have already begun experimental deployments of post-quantum cryptography technology. While Bitcoin has lower technical risk, challenges still exist at the governance level.
