- Edoardo Farina warns that XRP won’t stay around $2.2 forever, hinting at a major breakout ahead.
- Despite recent bearish pressure and heavy shorting, bullish analysts believe XRP is poised for a strong rally.
In a bold new commentary, Edoardo Farina, Founder of Alpha Lions Academy and Head of Social Adoption at XRPHealthcare, has sent a clear message to the crypto community: XRP will not stay at the $2.2 level forever.
Over the past few weeks, XRP has experienced a tight consolidation phase, hovering around $2 and occasionally spiking above $2.2 during brief rebound rallies. Most recently, the asset climbed to $2.36 on April 28 before slipping back to $2.28 at press time. Despite these range-bound movements and bearish pressures, Farina remains confident that XRP’s breakout is inevitable.

Taking to social media platform X, Farina described his statement as a “warning” — one aimed at cautious investors hesitant to enter the market and traders who have heavily shorted the asset. Indeed, short positions against XRP have surged in recent weeks, with notable figures like Koroush AK, Cole Garner, and Crashius Clay recommending short strategies amid perceived weakness.

However, Farina’s confidence is not without precedent. XRP faced similar skepticism last year when it struggled around the $0.5 to $0.6 range, with critics even mocking it as a “stablecoin.” Yet, in a dramatic turnaround, XRP later skyrocketed past $1 and $2, delivering impressive gains to loyal holders.
Crypto analysts like Abdullah Nassif have drawn parallels between XRP’s current situation and its previous struggles. Nassif noted that the $2 level now feels eerily similar to the $0.5 region from last year — a hint that history could be on the verge of repeating itself.
Farina and other bullish pundits believe a major rally is brewing and have urged investors to prepare accordingly. Some suggest owning at least 10,000 XRP to fully capitalize on the potential upswing.
As market sentiment hangs in the balance, one thing is clear: XRP’s time at $2.2 may be running out — and those waiting on the sidelines could be left watching from afar when the next big move comes.
