While XRP has struggled alongside the broader crypto market, an analyst suggests the 3-day RSI points to an imminent price upsurge.

Notably, the XRP price has failed to meet expectations over the last few weeks, as traders continue to wait for a solid rebound push that has failed to materialize. Since early October, each attempt at a recovery has faced a roadblock at lower resistance levels.

Specifically, when XRP staged a recovery in late September, it met a roadblock at the $3.09 resistance on Oct. 3. After a pullback, the next recovery met a roadblock at $2.69 on Oct. 27. From here, the next rebound effort faced a roadblock at $2.58 on Nov. 10. After this, the next roadblock stood at $2.28 on Nov. 24. Now, the latest roadblock came up at $2.21 on Dec. 4.

XRP 3D RSI Drops to November 2024 Lows

Despite this discouraging trend alongside a drop in bullish momentum, market analyst CryptoInsightUK remains confident that a full-blown XRP rebound may be imminent. He called attention to the signals from the 3-day timeframe, specifically pointing to the relative strength index (RSI). 

For the uninitiated, the RSI typically tracks how quickly and strongly the price of an asset moves. While extreme figures show whether the asset is oversold or overbought, the direction of the RSI, whether up or down, also indicates whether the bears or the bulls dominate the market.

Since July 2025, when XRP reached the $3.66 top, the 3-day RSI has continued to trend down, confirming that the bears have had control of the market within this period. Amid this downturn, the RSI has collapsed to a low of 39, marking its lowest level since November 2024.

An Imminent Upsurge?

Interestingly, when the 3-day RSI saw this low back then, what followed was an impressive price surge for XRP, which resulted in a 580% uptick from $0.5 in November 2024 to $3.4 in January 2025. Expectedly, the RSI also surged alongside this price rally, indicating that the bulls had dominated the overall trend.

CryptoInsightUK’s analysis indicates that XRP may be gearing up for a similar upsurge. According to the market analyst, the 3-day RSI seems ready to “turn up” from the current position. While he failed to share any price targets for this imminent upsurge, if XRP replicated only half of the 580% rise last year, its price could rise from the current $2.06 to around $8.

Notably, CryptoInsightUK is not the only market commentator confident of a possible XRP rebound. Pundit Zach Rector also recently dismissed claims that XRP may not see any reasonable uptick before the U.S. Clarity Act becomes law, noting that the token has already demonstrated its penchant for growth “without a u laws.”

Meanwhile, crypto analyst Tara suggested in a recent market commentary that XRP must breach two resistance levels around $2.18 and $2.3 before soaring to higher levels around $2.73, which marked her Wave 3 high.

An XRP community pundit recently presented what he called a prediction model for how XRP could grow to $1,000, but there’s a catch.

The XRP community has always been a hotbed of ambitious price predictions, and these audacious takes have dominated the scene over the past few weeks amid bullish developments surrounding Ripple, such as the acquisition of GTreasury and the partnership with Mastercard.

While XRP has faced struggles amid broader market turbulence, most analysts and community commentators have maintained confidence that a recovery campaign could emerge soon. At press time, XRP trades for $2.07, but discussions surrounding lofty price targets such as $1,000 have re-emerged.

For instance, in a previous commentary, community figure Diep Sanh addressed the widespread retail panic that came with the latest downturn despite XRP maintaining a price above $2. He noted that even if XRP collapsed from $1,200 to $1,000 by 2070, investors would still panic, forgetting how far the token has come.

Model Predicts XRP Price

In his most recent comment, Sanh presented what he called a prediction model for XRP’s journey to the $1,000 price mark by 2070, essentially 45 years away. However, he failed to address how he came up with the model, which appears to have some flaws.

For one, the prediction model suggests that XRP would trade for $1.02 in 2026, forecasting a massive 55% drop from the current price of $2.09. Moreover, he expects the decline to persist, potentially pushing XRP to a low of $0.61 by 2027, a price level XRP last saw during the November 2024 rally.

Meanwhile, Diep Sanh believes a mild recovery could ensue by 2028, which may lead to another retracement. He expects this trend of upswings and corrections to persist until XRP recovers to $2.37 in 2030. Essentially, his prediction model suggests XRP would return to its current price range in the next five years.

Still, he predicts a drop back to $1.6 in 2031. Sanh only expects XRP to claim the $10 price, a 336% increase from the current price, by 2036. This is 11 years from now, which largely underestimates XRP’s potential, considering the token rose 580% within three months, from November 2024 to January 2025.

XRP Path to $1,000

Notably, analysts have often predicted a potential XRP run to $26. For instance, EGRAG Crypto made one such projection last October, using a standard deviation model. However, Sanh’s prediction model says XRP may only reach the $26 price in 2043, essentially 18 years from now.

Looking ahead, the model predicts XRP to finally cross $500 in 2058 and eventually reach the $1,000 price target by 2070. For perspective, if this forecast proves true, investors currently aged 25 years will see XRP at $1,000 when they turn 70 years old.

Notably, Sanh’s model has received widespread criticisms from different ends. On the one hand, XRP critics argue that XRP may never reach $1,000, not even in 45 years’ time. Meanwhile, on the other hand, proponents insist that 45 years is a long time to wait for an XRP run to $1,000, which represents a 43,568% rise from the current price.

Amid the conflicting opinions, it is important that investors carry out their own research before making investment decisions instead of relying on prediction models or critical opinions. There is no guarantee that XRP will reach $1,000, even in 45 years.

We recently evaluated what the XRP price and market cap could rise to if XRP captured about 15% of the global crypto market cap.

As the ongoing market downturn impacts asset prices across the board, the global crypto market cap has collapsed over the past few days. For context, the total crypto market cap hit an all-time high of $4.27 trillion on Oct. 6, about a month ago. 

XRP Valuation Collapses with the Global Market

However, after the Oct. 10 global market crash, it fell below the $4 trillion level and has since failed to regain it. Interestingly, it recovered to a high of $3.9 trillion on Nov. 11 but faced intense resistance in this area. It has since dropped to the current $3.22 trillion. Essentially, since the Oct. 6 peak, the global crypto market cap has lost $1.05 trillion.

WOverthis period, XRP has wexperienced significant pricedeclines iand a decline inmarket cap. Being the third largest non-stablecoin asset, XRP has contributed to the latest drop in global crypto market cap since Oct. 6. Specifically, XRP has lost $40.87 billion in market cap over the past month, now at $137 billion. 

However, despite this decline in market cap, XRP’s market dominance has not observed a comparative drop. Notably, on Oct. 6, XRP had a market dominance of 4.285% with a market cap of $177.87 billion. Today, the market dominance has only dropped to 4.25%, a 0.81% drop despite XRP’s actual market cap collapsing nearly 23%.

This confirms that the broader market collapse has impacted every crypto asset on the top list, spreading across the board. However, XRP’s current market dominance represents a considerable decline from the yearly peak of 5.528% in July, indicating that XRP has gradually lost some of its market share over the past four months.

XRP Price if It Captures 15% of the Crypto Market

Nonetheless, analysts believe XRP would soon recover its market share, with some even suggesting XRP could overtake Ethereum (ETH), which currently has a market dominance of 11.86%. Amid these projections, we recently assessed how much the XRP price and market cap would rise for it to capture 15% of the market.

For perspective, XRP’s peak market dominance is much higher than 15%, having reached a top of 31.3% in early 2017. At this 31.3% dominance, XRP had a market cap of $15.2 billion due to the lower value of the global crypto market cap at the time.

Today, with the crypto market standing at $3.22 trillion, if XRP captured a 15% share, its market cap would grow to about $483 billion, representing a new all-time high in valuation. Meanwhile, considering its current supply of 60 billion tokens, the $483 billion cap would translate to a price of around $8, representing a 252% increase from the current price of $2.27.

Notably, some analysts have predicted a possible XRP rally to the $8 price. For one, market watcher Dark Defender suggested that XRP’s fifth Elliott Wave could take its price to $8. Meanwhile, in September, Cobb argued that there’s no reason XRP will not hit $8 by year-end.
