Market strategist Celal Kucuker predicts a major breakout for XRP, potentially pushing its price from $1.43 to $17, which would raise its market cap to about $1.05 trillion, surpassing Ethereum's current $267 billion. XRP is currently trading below the $1.50 resistance level but shows strong chart structure and growing whale accumulation, with large holders controlling over 68.5% of circulating supply. The upcoming Senate Banking Committee's markup of the CLARITY Act on May 14 is seen as a potential catalyst that could increase XRP's classification as a commodity and trigger price volatility.
