XRP is finding its way back onto summer watchlists as several market signals begin pointing toward a possible altcoin recovery. According to analyst Moon Lambo, the current setup looks much more bullish than most investors realize, even as market sentiment remains cautious.
One factor helping risk assets is easing geopolitical tension. Reports of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran have boosted market confidence and removed a short-term concern that had been weighing on investors.
Tether Dominance Could Be Rolling Over
A major part of Moon Lambo’s bullish case revolves around Tether (USDT) dominance, which measures how much of the total crypto market is sitting in the largest stablecoin.
Referencing analysis from Chart Analysis and Charting Guy, he noted that USDT dominance appears to be topping out. Historically, when Tether dominance falls, it often signals that investors are moving money out of stablecoins and back into Bitcoin and altcoins.
In other words, if Tether’s share of the market starts shrinking, it usually means capital is flowing back into risk assets. According to the analyst, this is one of the strongest arguments against the idea that there will be no altseason this cycle.
Why XRP Is Getting Attention
Despite this, Moon Lambo remains particularly bullish on XRP. He points out that XRP has not entered true price discovery since early 2018 and has spent more than eight years trading within established ranges.
Many investors claimed XRP would never return above $1 during the 2022 bear market, yet it eventually did. Similar skepticism still exists today despite much stronger fundamentals.
Credible Crypto continues to say XRP could reach the $20-$30 range this cycle. While he still sees a possible short-term dip below $1, he argues it would not damage the larger bullish structure.
Price Discovery Remains the Big Story
Another analyst, Austin, said XRP is filling one final inefficiency in its long-term chart before a major breakout.
His view is that XRP has spent years building support across most major price zones, except one key range between $1.30 and $1.80. If XRP successfully establishes support there, he sees much less resistance remaining overhead.
For Moon Lambo, that’s the key takeaway. While volatility may continue, according to him, XRP is quietly setting up for its first true price discovery phase in nearly a decade.
