XRP to $10? Analyst's Case
XRP Price Rally to $10: A Realistic Prediction?
Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto recently argued that an XRP price increase to $10 this cycle is plausible. This prediction is based on historical price movements and positive fundamental factors.
Egrag Crypto's Rationale
Egrag Crypto points out that a $10 XRP price only requires approximately a 2.94x increase from its current level. To provide context, the analyst referenced past market cycles:
- Bitcoin saw a 21x increase in the last cycle (from $3,000 to $69,000).
- Ethereum experienced a remarkable 58x increase (from $81 to $4,891).
Based on these past performances, Egrag Crypto believes a similar parabolic rise for XRP is within the realm of possibility, especially considering XRP’s already significant increase (13x from $0.28 to ~$3.40 in the past two years).
Bullish Fundamentals Fueling the Prediction
Several bullish factors contribute to Egrag Crypto's optimistic outlook:
- Multiple XRP ETFs in the pipeline (17).
- Approaching regulatory clarity.
- Imminent settlement of the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit.
- Growing real-world utility and adoption.
The analyst suggests a $500 to $700 billion market cap for XRP is achievable given the current market conditions.
Triple-Digit XRP Price Potential in the Next Cycle?
Egrag Crypto also speculates about XRP reaching triple digits in the next cycle. This depends largely on the peak price achieved in the current cycle. The analyst outlines three scenarios:
Pessimistic Scenario:
If XRP peaks around $3.40 this cycle, a 30x increase would be needed to reach $100 in the next cycle. While requiring substantial market growth, Egrag Crypto sees this as inevitable, given the nascent state of crypto adoption (1.5% of potential).
Conservative Scenario:
If XRP reaches $10-$20 this cycle, a 5x-10x increase in the next cycle would be sufficient to hit $100—considered “very reasonable” by the analyst.
Optimistic Scenario:
If XRP reaches $27-$33 this cycle, only a 3x-4x increase would be necessary to reach $100. This scenario aligns with expectations during a full bull market.
