‘You Have Been Warned,’ Pundit Says XRP Will Not Remain at $2.2 Forever
April 29, 2025
Amid the range-bound movements observed by XRP, a notable market pundit has argued that the altcoin will not remain in the current region forever.
This commentary came from Edoardo Farina, Alpha Lions Academy Founder and Head of Social Adoption at XRPHealthcare, as he continues to highlight XRP’s resilience and potential to claim greater heights despite the current market uncertainties.
XRP Will Not Remain at $2.2 Forever
For context, over the past few weeks, XRP has continued to consolidate around the $2 mark, often surging beyond $2.2 during a rebound push, but facing resistance that brings it back to this level and subsequently below it. Most recently, XRP rose to $2.36 on April 28 but has now corrected to the $2.2 level, specifically trading at $2.28 at press time.
Amid this persistent market uncertainty, Farina believes the bearish pressure that often pushes XRP back to $2.2 and subsequently below this mark will not prevail forever. According to the market pundit, XRP will not stay at the $2.2 region forever.

Farina added an interesting comment to his disclosure, suggesting that this commentary was a warning. Specifically, the pundit might have directed the warning to investors who have remained on the sidelines due to the belief that XRP will not push beyond this level. It might’ve also been directed to traders who have chosen to short the asset.
Interestingly, these shorts have dominated the scene in recent times. Earlier this month, analyst Koroush AK suggested that this period was the best time to short XRP, predicting further downsides. Before that, another trader, Cole Garner, advised others to short XRP. More recently, Crashius Clay suggested XRP has been one of his most obvious shorts.
XRP’s Previous Struggles at $0.5
Notably, Farina’s recent commentary comes on the back of these increasing short positions, which would suffer massive liquidations once XRP secures a recovery. The pundit’s comment is a result of his confidence in XRP’s potential, as similar bearish sentiments emerged during XRP’s range-bound movements last year.
Specifically, the asset persistently struggled around the $0.5 to $0.6 range in 2024, leading to some critics branding it a stablecoin. However, when the market exploded, XRP saw the highest upside for any top 10 asset, breaking above the $1 and $2 levels in one fell sweep.
Now, with XRP consolidating around $2 to $2.2, similar bearish sentiments from when it traded at the $0.5 to $0.6 range have emerged. Abdullah Nassif, Host of The Good Morning Crypto Show, noted earlier this month that $2 now felt like the $0.5 level from last year.
Meanwhile, pundits like Farina, who are increasingly confident that a rally beyond $2 will also emerge, believe investors should own at least 10,000 XRP to prepare for the projected uptrend.
