President Trump is willing to end the Iran War even if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. That is according to a Wall Street Journal report. Trump and his aides assessed that a full military mission to reopen the strait would push the conflict beyond his four-to-six-week timeline. Instead, Trump believes the U.S. has already achieved its main goals: destroying Iran’s navy and missile stockpiles. He now wants to wind down active hostilities while pressuring Iran diplomatically to resume free trade. If that fails, Washington would ask European and Gulf allies to take the lead on reopening the strait.
U.S. stock market futures are rising on the news. Crypto markets are still pricing in uncertainty, but an end to the war would remove a major macro headwind. For XRP and Solana, both beaten down in recent weeks, a peace deal could lead to (solid) relief rallies.

XRP Price Analysis and Prediction
The 2-hour chart from TradingView shows the XRP price trading at $1.3242. Price sits well below the 200-day moving average at $2.0348. That is a bearish structure, but the war ending changes the equation.
Support sits at $1.30. The recent lows near $1.31 held, and the RSI reads 43.69, neutral but leaning oversold. Resistance is at $1.40, then $1.50, and the 200-day at $2.03 is the major ceiling.
If Trump ends the war, expect a fast move to $1.50 within days. A clean break above $1.50 opens $1.80. The 200-day at $2.03 would be the next major test. In a full risk-on scenario with institutions returning, XRP could reclaim $2.00 within weeks.
Ripple just reported its strongest quarter ever in Q1 2026. Prime brokerage revenue tripled. The company also announced a $750 million share buyback. Those numbers look bullish on the surface. But there is a catch. Ripple’s growth is increasingly decoupled from XRP demand. Banks and enterprises are settling via fiat rails or Ripple’s own stablecoin, RLUSD, which now has a market cap of $1.56 billion. They are not using XRP for liquidity.
That means a peace rally for XRP would be driven purely by macro relief and sentiment, not by fundamental demand for the token itself. So while the XRP price could jump to $1.50 or $2.00 on a war-ending headline, sustaining those levels without real utility growth is a different question.
Solana Price Analysis and Prediction
Solana trades at $83.02 on the 2-hour chart. The 200-day moving average sits at $139.65, far above current price. The SOL price has been crushed in the broader selloff, down from highs above $200.
RSI is 48.33, neutral but showing early signs of stabilization. Support is at $81.50, the recent local low. Resistance starts at $85, then $90, and the 200-day at $139 is the big level.
An end to the Iran War would hit Solana hard to the upside. SOL is a high-beta play on crypto risk appetite. A peace announcement could push price to $95 within 24 hours. From there, $110 is the next target. If the market fully prices out geopolitical risk, Solana could test $130–$140 in the following weeks, though the 200-day at $139 would act as strong resistance.
Solana is not standing still. The ecosystem’s real-world asset tokenization value just hit $873.3 million, growing 10 percent in a single month. That positions Solana as a top chain for institutional asset digitization. But here is the problem. The broader altcoin market is severely stressed. Over 40 percent of tokens sit near all-time lows. Liquidity is thinning. Investors are rotating out of risk assets like Solana regardless of its fundamentals.
An end to the Iran War would bring risk appetite back, and the Solana price would benefit fast. But the recovery might stop short of $140 if the altcoin market remains structurally weak. Watch whether SOL can reclaim $100 first. That level will tell you if institutions are ready to come back or just taking a quick trade on the news.
The war ending is not guaranteed. Trump’s plan still faces diplomatic hurdles. But the WSJ report suggests the White House is serious about winding down. Stock futures are already reacting. Crypto will follow.
For XRP, a peace deal points to $1.50 short-term, $2.00 medium-term. For Solana, $95 then $110. Both assets are oversold and primed for a relief rally if the news turns positive.
