Analyst Zach Rector Explains XRP $7 Price Target Using Silver Comparison

Analyst Zach Rector has outlined a detailed case for a $7 XRP price target based on the historical movements of silver. 

He argues that XRP’s current market structure closely mirrors silver’s historic breakout cycle before its multi-year rally. Notably, the analysis positions XRP near what he believes is the final phase of its bear market.

• XRP may be near the end of its bear market after a 70% correction from its peak.

• Rector sees a 500–600% potential move from $1, placing XRP within $5–$10 range.

• $7 is a key psychological level, with profit-taking likely before possible double-digit highs.

$7 XRP Target Explained

According to Rector, the $7 level is not a random forecast but a measured target derived from comparing XRP’s price action with silver’s long-term chart. He points to September 2022, when silver made its final pullback below $20. The precious metal dropped to around $17 before launching into a nearly 600% rally that later pushed prices above $120.

Rector argues that XRP is now in a similar position. Measuring a comparable 500–600% move from the $1 area places XRP near $7, which sits in the middle of his $5 to $10 bull market range.

XRP Near the End of Its Bear Market Phase

This analysis comes after XRP price touched $1.11 last week, its lowest level since 2024. Many market watchers and influencers, including Rector, have publicly discussed buying the XRP dip during this historic decline.

XRP is now trading around $1.43 after an over 30% price rebound, but it remains well below its peak. Rector notes that XRP has already corrected roughly 70% from its all-time high, a level consistent with past market resets.

From his perspective, price entries around the $1 range may not matter much once the next major rally begins if XRP delivers a multi-hundred-percent move during the next bull market.

Silver vs XRP

Rector’s thesis partly relies on research from Waters Above Crypto, which compares XRP to silver. Silver took about three and a half years to rise from its 2022 low to its 2026 peak.

However, Rector believes XRP could go through a similar cycle much faster because crypto moves more quickly and is more volatile. Both charts show similar patterns: double tops, large pullbacks, long periods of consolidation, and then sharp upward moves.

$7 As A Psychologically Important Level

Beyond technical symmetry, Rector highlights $7 as a psychologically important level. It represents roughly double XRP’s previous all-time high of $3.66, placing it in a zone where profit-taking pressure is likely to increase as prices approach $10.

While Rector has not ruled out double-digit XRP in a strong bull run, he calls $7 a realistic midpoint where traders may consider taking profits, while long-term holders continue to position for higher levels.

Although he stresses that no outcome is guaranteed, Rector believes the risk-to-reward profile favors the upside as XRP prepares for its next major move.
