XRP has blasted through the $1.40 range for its strongest weekly gain among major crypto, and it’s still bullish for next week’s price prediction. The token climbed to $1.45 during the week, and resistance capped the move.
The rally developed without sharp spikes in a controlled grind higher that points to accumulation. Volume ran at approximately 70% of its weekly average, which limits the conviction behind the move. XRP outperformed bitcoin and ether over the same seven-day window, and while that relative strength is meaningful, the volume support is real.
Macro headwinds remain this week. The FOMC meeting on April 28–29 looms, and $14.16 billion in quarterly options expiry on Deribit recently pressured XRP below $1.30 before the recovery.
Now, can XRP maintain its leadership position heading into next week, or is this week’s outperformance the ceiling?

XRP Price Prediction: $1.60 Next Week?
XRP is trading above its 50-day EMA at $1.40 with the RSI still sitting at a neutral position. As for now, the price is approaching the lower Bollinger Band. That combination signals compression before a directional move, though direction remains the open question for the next week.
The key resistance cluster runs from $1.40 to $1.50. A clean break above $1.50 would open the path toward analyst targets in the $1.60 range. Near-term support holds way lower at $1.28–$1.32, with the critical floor at $1.25.
The best-case scenario would happen if XRP clears $1.44 on rising volume, FOMC outcome relieves macro pressure, and price advances toward $1.60 under favorable conditions.
The CLARITY Act markup in late April and any Iran ceasefire progress could act as binary catalysts. Watch the $1.50 level as the immediate tell, because reclaiming that level with volume changes the technical picture meaningfully.

Bitcoin Hyper to Follow XRP?
XRP’s measured climb is exactly the kind of price action that reminds traders why large-cap positioning has limits, but at a market cap this size, the asymmetric upside that defined XRP’s earlier moves requires a different kind of entry. That dynamic is pushing risk-tolerant capital toward early-stage infrastructure plays with harder catalysts.
Bitcoin Hyper is one project absorbing that rotation. It positions itself as the first Bitcoin Layer 2 with Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration. Its smart contract execute at sub-Solana speeds while relying on Bitcoin’s security layer.
The presale has raised $32 million, and beyond, at a current price of just $0.0136, with staking live and high APY available to early participants. The core proposition is direct: Bitcoin provides liquidity and trust, while SVM delivers the programmability and throughput that Bitcoin’s base layer was never built to support.
The presale’s fundraising trajectory has drawn attention as BTC infrastructure narratives gain traction.
