Analyst Predicts $14+ for 1 XRP: Here is Why

While Bitcoin has outperformed XRP over the past five months, analyst Javon Marks believes XRP could flip the switch, leading to a two-digit price target.

Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, and the rest of the crypto market have maintained a downward trend since October 2025, with the global crypto market cap losing over $800 billion in valuation within this period. However, amid this downtrend, XRP has performed worse than Bitcoin.

Data from the XRP/BTC chart shows that Bitcoin has outperformed XRP since August, with the XRPBTC pair collapsing 14.5% from 0.00002612 in August to the current value of 0.00002231. Despite the prevalent trend, Javon Marks, a well-known chartist, expects XRP to outperform BTC in the long run, leading to a price uptick in dollar terms.

XRP Could Flip the Switch Against Bitcoin

In his latest market analysis, Marks highlighted historical data confirming XRP’s potential to outperform Bitcoin. He shared the XRPBTC 2-week chart to demonstrate this. According to Marks, during XRP’s explosive run on the back of the U.S. elections, it outperformed BTC by up to 243% despite Bitcoin also seeing an impressive upsurge.

Interestingly, this 243% rise above Bitcoin was driven by XRP’s price soaring from $0.49 in November 2024 to around $3.3 in January 2025, representing a massive 570% increase in dollar terms. Marks believes XRP’s price in dollar terms could witness a similar uptick when the altcoin eventually outperforms BTC again.

Notably, data from his chart highlights the reason behind his optimism. Specifically, the XRPBTC pair had remained below a crucial descending trendline since it dropped from the 0.0002404 peak in May 2017. This trendline acted as resistance, capping any upward push from XRP to outperform BTC for eight years.

However, XRP eventually broke above the trendline during its massive surge in November 2024. Despite the momentum that ensued from this upsurge, XRP faced a roadblock at the 0.00003415 peak, a four-year high. Since then, the XRPBTC pair has continued to drop, as BTC gains ground against XRP.

XRP Forming a Solid Base, Targets $14

Nonetheless, with this drop, XRP appears to be establishing a solid base against Bitcoin at the support around the trendline. Such price action often leads to subsequent price upticks, which Marks believes could eventually push the XRPBTC pair up by 600% to 0.0001372.

In this scenario, the market analyst insists that the XRP price in dollar terms could rise to $14, also representing a near 600% rise from the current price of $2.01. This projection suggests that Bitcoin would remain stagnant at its current price of around $90,000 while XRP spikes by 600%. However, this remains highly unlikely.

Meanwhile, for the short term, analyst Casi confirmed that XRP had hit and held above her support target of $2.04. However, she suggested that until XRP breaches the resistance area around $2.41 and soars to the $2.65 level, the market has not yet flipped bullish.
