Ripple (XRP) price posted considerable gains on Friday climbing as high as $2.17, as China’s tariffs on the US introduce fresh volatility risks.
The global crypto market cap erased losses from Wednesday’s sell-off as China announced retaliatory tariffs on Friday.

If the U.S. fails to find a diplomatic solution, equities could slide further, accelerating capital rotation into alternative assets.
Investors increasingly view Bitcoin as a hedge against trade policy risks, prompting fund inflows into the crypto market.

XRP Price Forecast: XRP Eyes $2.28 as Bullish Reversal Gains Momentum
XRP price surged 12.54% in two days, reclaiming the $2.12 level amid strengthening bullish momentum. The rally coincides with an early MACD crossover and a recovery within the Bollinger Bands’ lower boundary.
The Bollinger Bands indicate a potential volatility expansion after XRP touched the lower band at $1.98 and rebounded sharply.
The mid-band resistance at $2.28 aligns with the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) at $2.09, reinforcing a crucial test for sustained upside.
A breakout above these levels could fuel a rally toward $2.58, where the upper Bollinger Band sits.
Meanwhile, MACD lines are narrowing, with the blue line approaching an upward crossover. If confirmed, this would mark a bullish reversal, echoing past rallies from similar levels.
However, Bitcoin price forecast remains a critical factor, as BTC’s next move could influence XRP’s trajectory. If Bitcoin maintains bullish sentiment, XRP could benefit from broader market strength.
Failure to break the $2.28 resistance could trigger another retest of $1.98 support, risking further declines. However, as long as XRP holds above the VWAP, the technical setup leans bullish, suggesting higher probability for further gains.
