XRP, PUMP and HYPE price predictions: XRP year-end target $5, HYPE October target $100

The cryptocurrency market has experienced a short-term pullback, with the total market capitalization decreasing by 2% over the past 24 hours, mainly due to short-term traders taking profits after the market's rise over the weekend. Nonetheless, most tokens have still maintained an upward trend over the past seven days. XRP, Pumpfun (PUMP), and Hyperliquid (HYPE) have shown strong momentum despite a slight pullback today (September 16). Market analysts believe that if the Fed decides to cut interest rates at the FOMC meeting later this week, these major tokens could rebound strongly, bringing more profits to traders.

01 Market Overview: Short-term Adjustment Does Not Hinder Overall Rise Trend

The total market capitalization of the Crypto Assets market is currently approximately $2.578 trillion, with a 24-hour rise of 7.8%. BTC's market share is 56.9%, while ETH's market share is 12.2%. Although the total market capitalization has decreased by 2% in the past 24 hours, this short-term pullback is considered a sign of market health, mainly due to traders taking profits after the weekend pump.

Most Tokens have maintained a rising trend over the past seven days. Market participants are generally focused on the upcoming FOMC meeting of the Fed, with expectations that interest rate cuts could inject new momentum into the market. Historical data shows that the Crypto Assets market is expected to strengthen in early Q4 2025, due to a resilient liquidity environment, favorable macro backdrop, and supportive regulatory dynamics.

XRP fell 3.5% today, but the current trading price is around $3.08, with a slight pullback after testing the $3.12 resistance zone. The Token remains one of the most promising Tokens among the top 100. In terms of price performance, XRP has risen 1.5% over the week and 6% over the two weeks.

Technical analysis shows that XRP is consolidating within a broader Fibonacci range, with support forming around $2.94, while upward momentum is capped in the $3.18-3.20 area. The daily chart indicates that XRP is approaching the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level at $3.08. Immediate resistance is near $3.18, where it forms a technical resonance with the super trend indicator.

On the fundamental side, Ripple's recent developments are encouraging. The company has signed partnerships with major banks, made significant acquisitions, and expanded into the Dubai and African markets. JPMorgan Chase has confirmed it will accept XRP payments, which is seen as an important milestone for institutional adoption. The Real Token project aims to unlock real estate transactions on the XRP ledger, highlighting the broad prospects of XRP in asset tokenization.

Based on these factors, the XRP price is expected to reach $3.50 by the end of this month and exceed $5 by the end of 2025.

03 PUMP: The Growth Potential of Leading Launchpads on Solana

The current price of PUMP is $0.007989, down 1.5% today, but it reached a historical high of $0.008819 in the past 24 hours. This altcoin has risen 129% in a month, making it one of the best-performing tokens during this period.

From a fundamental perspective, PUMP is in a strong position as Pumpfun remains the largest token launch platform on Solana, with 8 million independent active wallets over the past month and a trading volume reaching $1 billion. Looking at its charts, indicators suggest it may be nearing its peak, but the FOMC meeting later this week could provide it with a second boost.

Its RSI (yellow) rebounded again after dropping from 80 over the weekend, indicating that it still has remaining momentum. Although it may peak soon, some whales continue to invest more deeply in the PUMP, showing confidence in its long-term prospects. It has already rebounded in the past hour, so we may see it test new highs later this week, potentially breaking through $0.0950 before the weekend.

04 HYPE: Ecological development drives price to new highs

HYPE fell by 1.5% today, but its current price of 53.51 USD means a rise of 5% within the week, and the token reached an all-time high over the weekend. Hyperliquid is another token with strong platform support advantages, and the total value locked (TVL) of Hyperliquid DEX has now reached 2.6 billion USD.

This makes it the eighth largest TVL platform in the crypto field, with its on-chain value continuing to grow. Crypto industry executive Arthur Hayes predicts that the Token could reach $5000, based on his earlier prediction of achieving 126 times returns within three years.

Technical analysis shows that HYPE is trading close to $54 after completing a major Elliott wave cycle, with indicators suggesting a potential pullback to the $25-50 support level before resuming the upward trend. The platform's dominance in the perpetual contract market and its $1.2 billion annual revenue provide fundamental support for Hayes' ambitious long-term goals.

Based on these factors, the HYPE price is expected to reach $75 by the end of this month, $100 by the end of October, and $150 by 2026.

05 Market Catalysts: FOMC Meeting and Interest Rate Cut Expectations

The market is generally focused on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and its interest rate decisions. The Fed is expected to implement interest rate cuts on September 17 and October 29, as the U.S. labor market has provided strong evidence of weakness. This will not only fail to create a local peak but may instead activate off-market cautious funds.

A decrease in interest rates may prompt a significant component of the $7.4 trillion in money market funds to end its wait-and-see stance. If the FOMC indeed lowers rates later this week, XRP, PUMP, and HYPE may experience a strong rebound, bringing more profits to traders.

Historical data shows that monthly seasonal fluctuations are not effective trading signals for Bitcoin; the performance of the crypto market is more influenced by macro factors and the liquidity environment rather than seasonal patterns.

06 Investment Recommendations and Risk Warnings

For XRP, traders should pay attention to the 20-day moving average support level around $2.97, followed by the $2.81 area (which coincides with the 50-day moving average). If these support levels are lost, it may further test the strong structural support of the 200-day moving average at $2.56.

For the pump, short-term traders should be aware that the Token may be approaching peak areas, but the FOMC meeting may provide additional momentum. Long-term investors can focus on its leading position in the Solana ecosystem and the continuously growing user base.

For HYPE, technical analysis indicates the risk of a pullback to the support area of $25-50, followed by a restoration of the upward trend. Long-term investors can pay attention to its dominant position in the perpetual contract market and stablecoin integration plans.

All Crypto Assets investments are high-risk asset classes, and investors should conduct thorough research and only invest funds they can afford to lose.

The Crypto Assets market has experienced a short-term pullback, but the overall trend remains upward. XRP, PUMP, and HYPE all have strong fundamental support and a positive technical outlook. The interest rate decision from the Fed's FOMC meeting could be a key catalyst for the market's next movement.

Investors should closely monitor technical support and resistance levels while considering the overall market environment and macroeconomic factors. A cautious investment strategy and risk management system are key to achieving long-term success in the highly volatile Crypto Assets market.
