Expert Says Within 6 Months XRP Will Prove It Was Cheap Under $2

DustyBC, a widely followed analyst, has boldly asserted that the next six months could be a defining period for XRP.

In a tweet, he emphasized that by December 2025, the world will recognize that XRP was incredibly cheap at under $2. DustyBC went on to challenge the crypto community to bookmark the tweet and revisit it by year’s end, when he believes his ambitious outlook may have materialized.

This perspective suggests XRP could be trading at a significantly higher price or may have established a new trading range well above $2 by then.

The Last Time XRP Was “Cheap”

Notably, XRP used to trade in the $0.40 to $0.60 range just a few years ago. With the price now having held above $2 for the past seven months, many investors who didn’t buy in that earlier range are looking back with regret, realizing they missed the chance to buy it cheap.

Specifically, just last year, one could purchase 100,000 XRP for about $50,000. Today, that same amount costs over $200,000, four times more.

Despite widespread predictions that XRP would crash after its historic run, the coin has consistently held above $2. Repeated market-wide dips have failed to push XRP below $1.60 over the last seven months. Each drop below $2 has been followed by a swift rebound above that threshold.

Given this resilience, a growing number of voices in the crypto community believe the next move is upward, as bears fail to establish new lows. In parallel, DustyBC believes that those who don’t recognize XRP as being “cheap” at $2 may regret their decision as early as six months from now.

Commenters on the post agreed that a turnaround could occur by year’s end. Beyond XRP’s strong fundamentals, historical patterns in timing are also fueling optimism.

Will History Repeat for XRP?

Notably, XRP’s last major breakout began in the final weeks of 2024 and carried into early 2025. The projected six-month timeline for XRP to establish a new trading range aligns with this, suggesting history could repeat.

Where Will XRP Be by Year’s End?

Despite his optimism, DustyBC did not specify what XRP’s new trading range might be. However, last year he shared a chart predicting the emergence of a “God candle,” a surge that could send XRP soaring by 4,000% to nearly $30.

At the time of that prediction, XRP was trading at $0.51. It has since touched $3.40 before retracing. Many investors remain optimistic, with some expecting XRP to reach $30 or more by the end of this market cycle.

XForceGlobal, a Korean Elliott Wave analyst, has forecasted that XRP could hit $10 to $20, despite ongoing skepticism. He stated he would “be laughing at everyone” who doubts the coin’s potential. He has set an early 2026 timeline for the potential realization of his forecast.

Meanwhile, even more ambitious projections have come from analyst Javon Marks. He believes XRP could skyrocket 3,900% this cycle, potentially reaching $99. He bases this prediction on similarities between XRP’s current price action and its 2017 rally, when it broke resistance and surged past its previous all-time high.

While these forecasts are certainly optimistic, more conservative analysts have projected a $9 price for XRP by year’s end.
