Finance Expert Says XRP Could Rise 60% If It Passes This Test
XRP faces a key technical test that could determine whether the cryptocurrency can extend its current recovery toward higher price levels.
Crypto commentator Austin Hilton said XRP could record a move of nearly 60% if it holds $1.50, breaks above $1.55, and sustains the breakout.
Hilton explained the setup in a video attached to his X post. He compared the current price structure with XRP’s previous 56.83% advance and used that historical move to calculate a potential target near $2.43.
Hilton Identifies $1.55 as the Immediate Test
Hilton said XRP traded around $1.50 when he recorded the video and identified that area as an important level for the cryptocurrency to defend. He then pointed to $1.55 as the immediate hurdle XRP must clear.
According to Hilton, XRP needs to hold around $1.50 before it can challenge $1.55. After XRP breaks above $1.55, he said the cryptocurrency must stay above that level to keep the breakout intact.
Hilton described $1.55 as the upper boundary of XRP’s recent descending structure. He said a sustained move above that level could open the way toward higher Fibonacci levels.
He identified $2.18, $2.40, and $2.57 as important Fibonacci levels on the chart. Hilton said these levels could come into play if XRP completes the breakout.
Previous XRP Rally Supports the 60% Projection
Hilton based his projection on XRP’s previous 56.83% advance. He pointed to a move from approximately $0.99 to $1.55 and said that rally provides the historical comparison for the current setup.
If XRP repeats a similar percentage move from its current price area, Hilton calculated that the cryptocurrency could reach approximately $2.43. That would represent a nearly 60% rise from the levels he discussed.
Hilton also reviewed XRP’s decline toward the $1.27–$1.30 area. He attributed that decline to several broader developments, including unemployment concerns, Federal Reserve developments, and geopolitical events.
He said XRP has since returned toward the $1.50 region. In his view, the next step requires XRP to defend $1.50, then break above $1.55 with enough momentum to stay above the level.
For XRP, Hilton’s immediate focus remains clear: hold $1.50, break above $1.55, and sustain the move. If XRP completes those steps, his chart analysis points toward the $2.18–$2.57 range, with $2.43 representing the projected target from a repeat of the previous 56.83% advance.

With growing innovation momentum, Kraft Heinz actively adapts to the trends of high-protein and high-fiber products.
Kraft Heinz launches “Kraft Mac & Cheese-Flavored Ramen.” “Our pace of innovation has not been fast enough,” said the North American President. CEO Steve Cahillane is working to revitalize the packaged food company. While Kraft Heinz shares are down this year, the company’s performance has outpaced its peers. Kraft Heinz is strongly supporting health trends such as high-protein and high-fiber lifestyles, investing heavily in marketing, and trying to make up for lost time in innovation, the company’s North American President told Reuters. Under CEO Steve Cahillane, who took over in January, the U.S. packaged food company has dropped plans to split its business in two and allocated $700 million this year for marketing and R&D to reverse years of declining market share. This year, the company launched the high-protein “PowerMac & Cheese” and added healthier variations to its portfolio, featuring lower sugar and salt with more protein and dietary fiber. Kraft Heinz is also venturing into new product categories: on Tuesday, it launched a cheese-flavored ramen in the U.S., aiming to meet American consumers’ rising demand for diverse flavors and convenience. “We are engaging more actively in different segments and disrupting certain categories,” Nico Amaya said in an interview, specifically mentioning the $2.7 billion ramen market, mostly led by small businesses. “Frankly, our pace of innovation has not been fast enough,” he added. “We have some excellent brands, but we haven’t invested in them in the past.” This year, marketing and R&D spending for brands like PowerMac increased by 35%, and Amaya stated Kraft Heinz will maintain this level of investment in the future. CEO Cahillane expects innovation projects to accelerate by 2027. Despite a roughly 10% decline in share price this year, Kraft Heinz’s performance has still outdone other U.S. packaged food companies like Conagra Brands, General Mills, and PepsiCo. Persistent inflation is pressuring household budgets, pushing consumers toward cheaper private-label alternatives; meanwhile, the rapid adoption of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs is forcing packaged food makers to adjust product formulations to satisfy demand for healthier foods. Kraft Heinz has already launched its cheese-flavored ramen in Canada. Amaya said the company also introduced smaller portion “PowerMac” cups and has reformulated more than 1,000 products, increasing protein and dietary fiber while reducing added sugar and fat. “The trend toward healthier products in many respects will be here for the long-term,” Amaya told Reuters. “And protein will become a vital part of everyone’s diet.” (Note: This Reuters report was automatically translated into several languages for convenience.
