Most Investors To Miss XRP Run from $3 to $10 While Expecting a Crash: Pundit

A crypto community commentator has suggested that most investors will miss the sustained XRP run amid expectations of an imminent crash.

Notably, after reaching a local peak of $3.4 in January 2025, XRP corrected some of its gains, collapsing to the $2 price range and consolidating at this level for six months. However, with the recent recovery push, XRP’s price reached a new yearly high of $3.66 last week before eventually cooling.

Pundit Says Most Investors Will Miss the XRP Rally from $3 to $10

Now, some investors expect a deeper correction that could push prices to lower levels that they regard as attractive entry points. For instance, an experienced trader suggested recently that XRP is “very overbought” at the current level. According to him, he expects a correction from here.

While the advice was for those already in the market to take profit, some are looking out for this correction to enter the market at lower prices. However, market pundit DustyBC believes this might be a bad investment strategy. 

In a recent disclosure, he insisted that XRP would likely rally from $3 to $10, but most people will miss the boat. DustyBC emphasized that these people are those who are anticipating an XRP crash to much lower levels before they decide to commit any capital into an XRP investment.

$3 -> $10 $XRP

Thinking it’s due for a DUMP

They will only start buying in at $10+

Just wait and see.

Story as old as time itself

According to the market commentator, such individuals will likely start investing when they realize that the anticipated dump never occurred and the price has soared past the $10 mark. For context, XRP currently trades for $3.57 at press time, and would only need a 187% increase to reach $10. 

Investors Citing Historical Drawdowns May be Disappointed 

Notably, this strategy, where investors wait for a price drop before entering the market, has always been a go-to plan and has worked out for some, especially with XRP often crashing quickly after an upward push. 

For instance, following the rally to $3.8 in January 2018, XRP collapsed 88% to $0.45 in three months. Investors who waited for this drop were able to procure more for less. In addition, after the $1.96 peak in April 2021, XRP crashed nearly 74% to $0.51 by July 2021. 

With his history of sudden and deep corrections, investors have been expecting a repetition, especially after the November 2024 to January 2025 rally. After XRP pulled back from $3.4 in January, analysts like Cole Garner advised traders to short it, anticipating further declines below $2. However, these deeper declines never came.

Now, with XRP trading above $3 again, some analysts are expecting another deep correction. DustyBC insists that such a correction would likely not materialize as well. Notably, XRP community commentator Edoardo Farina also advised against this strategy, especially at the current XRP position.

Speaking in April, Farina urged investors to commit to XRP immediately, with the price trading for $2 at the time. The crypto founder insisted that buying XRP at $2 was like buying Bitcoin at $100. With Bitcoin trading for $106,000 then, those who bought at $100 were already seeing profits. He expected the same for XRP.
