XRP price prediction: ETF inflows, CME futures, and technical pressure align

XRP price prediction: ETF inflows, CME futures, and technical pressure align image 0
  • XRP gains support from strong ETF inflows and institutional interest.
  • CME futures and options flows add momentum to the current setup.
  • Technical pressure builds as XRP tests midband resistance.

XRP is entering a decisive phase as new institutional products, shifting derivatives dynamics, and tightening technical structures converge around a market that has struggled to find a clear direction.

The XRP price currently stands at $2.23, having gained 1.6% in the past 24 hours, and continues a strong seven-day climb that has pushed its weekly performance above 17%.

Notably, despite being nearly 40% below its July all-time high of $3.65, XRP remains up around 50% this year, outpacing both Bitcoin and Ethereum over the same period.

Institutional momentum builds

A wave of new XRP ETFs has reshaped expectations among investors.

The last nine days alone brought in $643.91 million in spot XRP ETF inflows, according to data from Coinglass , while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw heavy outflows.

Major firms, including Canary Capital, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and Bitwise, have launched XRP funds, and early traction has been stronger than many expected.

These inflows reflect the wider structural shift that analysts at NOBI and other platforms have highlighted.

The analysts point to a growing appetite among institutional traders, who now see regulated exposure to XRP as a viable strategy in a market preparing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts.

In addition, Fed officials have signalled openness to reducing borrowing costs in December, a macro backdrop that often supports risk assets like XRP.

Some forecasts suggest that if inflows remain steady, XRP could rally strongly, pushing it towards its previous high, though conditions would still depend on broader market sentiment and regulatory clarity.

Derivatives signal shifting pressure

The derivatives market is adding another layer to the setup.

CME futures tied to XRP are scheduled to launch on December 15, pending regulatory approval.

This move places XRP alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) within the world’s largest derivatives marketplace, reinforcing its role in institutional portfolios.

At the same time, XRP options have influenced short-term behaviour.

$15 million XRP options expired on November 28 with a put-call ratio of 0.41, favoured bullish positioning, forcing market makers to buy spot XRP as hedges unwound.

Open interest dropped sharply afterwards, reducing the risk of volatile swings and leaving the market in a cleaner state ahead of new catalysts.

These intertwined factors show how futures, options, and ETF flows are beginning to align in a way that could support stronger price action.

But whether that alignment delivers immediate results will depend on how much follow-through traders are willing to commit to in the coming sessions.

XRP price forecast

On the charts, XRP has broken out of a 4-week falling channel, giving bulls an early signal that momentum may be shifting.

The MACD has flipped positive, and the 7-day moving average now acts as support near $2.11.

Perhaps the most telling structure is the Bollinger Bands setup.

XRP has been stuck under the midband for nearly two weeks, a pattern that often indicates a buildup of pressure that can trigger sharp moves.

The upper band near $2.50 marks the probable target for a breakout, while the lower band at $1.92 outlines the risk if another rejection occurs.

Such compression can precede rallies, including the possibility of a 13% push toward $2.51.

But for that scenario to unfold, XRP would need a decisive close above the midband, something the market has struggled to achieve.
