A new report released on Monday by market analyst Sam Daodu lays out three potential paths for the XRP price this month, with the deciding factor tied to the US crypto market structure bill known as the CLARITY Act.
Daodu expects the bill to reach some kind of resolution within the remaining two weeks of April, and he argues that how the next few days unfold could determine whether XRP continues consolidating—or breaks out of its current trading zone.
Why April Holds The KeyWithin XRP trading, Daodu says the token has largely been stuck between roughly $1.28 and $1.45 for most of 2026. For him, April is the month that could decide whether that range continues for the rest of the year or gives way to a more directional move.
He frames the market’s next step using three scenarios, each tied to events expected to play out during the next two weeks.
Three XRP Scenarios For Next Two WeeksIf the bill ultimately passes, he suggests XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows could climb by another $4 to $8 billion on top of the approximately $1.2 billion that spot ETFs have already attracted, even before the legislation becomes law.
Modest Movement Without Markup DateHe does acknowledge that the April 16 roundtable could produce a short-lived lift, but without a concrete markup date, he believes there is no real catalyst strong enough to force a sustained breakout above $1.40.
Under this scenario, he expects XRP to close April in the $1.30–$1.40 range. While that would still represent a positive month compared with March’s $1.33 close, Daodu characterizes it as only a modest improvement rather than a decisive shift.
Potential Slide To $1.15He highlights that the ceasefire expires on April 22 and that the Islamabad talks already collapsed over the weekend. If tensions escalate again and oil prices climb back above $110, Daodu says XRP could lose the $1.28 support level and potentially slide toward $1.15.
