- Ripple partners with BBVA to expand crypto adoption and digital asset services in Spain.
- XRP surges past $3 resistance, with analysts forecasting potential gains in the $8-$10 range.
- BBVA’s use of Ripple Custody boosts XRP’s market standing amid rising institutional interest.
XRP has risen above the $3.00 mark, with a 5% increase in value reaching $3.02, marking its third consecutive day of gains. The upward breakout of the above $3 suggests a possible change in momentum, with analysts forecasting that the range of $8-$10 is now accessible.
The price of XRP increased to $3.02501, an increase of 1.87% daily, showing the strength of the bullish trend. In addition, this rise suggests a boost in confidence in the cryptocurrency, with its market value at press time nearing $180 billion. The trading volume has also increased to $6.78 billion in leading exchanges, indicating a high interest in the market.
XRP Breakout and Its Potential for Higher Price Targets
The price movement of XRP indicates a successful breakout from a multi-month symmetrical triangle pattern. The cryptocurrency had been trading between higher and lower lows, creating a triangle, but recently pushed higher to break the major resistance of $3.00.
In addition, the breakout suggests that XRP is now on track to test new resistance levels, possibly reaching the $8 to $10 range, as crypto analyst JackTheRippler predicted.
Immediate resistance levels are between $3.30 and $3.50, at which the cryptocurrency had struggled to break through in the past week. If XRP is able to keep its price above $3.00 and proceed in an upward trend, the next target should be approximately $3.50, which may set the stage for upward moves up to $8-$10.
The all-time high of XRP at $3.84 might also serve as a psychological resistance zone, and the price range of $3.50-$4.00 will be key in the price movement of the token within the coming days.

Indicators Confirm Bullish Momentum for XRP
Technical indicators also support the cryptocurrency’s upward trend. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is at 54.78, indicating neutral conditions under which additional price action is possible. An RSI value above 50 generally indicates rising bullish momentum, and XRP has not yet become overbought.
Moreover, the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) shows more evidence of a bullish trend. The MACD is currently at 0.01816 above the signal line of -0.02979, showing a bullish crossover. This crossover is an indicator of increasing price, as the histogram is spreading to the positive area.
Ripple’s Strategic Expansion in Spain with BBVA Partnership
The rise in XRP’s price also coincides with the expansion of Ripple’s partnership with BBVA, one of the largest Spanish banks. Ripple will make its digital asset custody technology available to BBVA to enable the bank to offer a secure and compliant digital asset custody service, including Bitcoin and Ether.
Francisco Maroto, BBVA’s head of digital assets, stressed that Ripple’s custody solution allows the bank to provide an end-to-end custody service with the security and operational standards expected from a large financial institution. In addition, this partnership extends the existing collaboration between Ripple and BBVA in Switzerland and Turkey and enhances Ripple’s presence in the European market.
Additionally, the strengthening strategic partnership between Ripple and major financial institutions may boost the bullish outlook for XRP. As Ripple extends its global presence, the broader cryptocurrency community continues to adapt to MiCA regulations.
