Market expert Mr. Xoom shares how an XRP run to lofty two-digit targets is plausible using Fibonacci targets from the XRP/Ethereum pair.

He discussed this at a time when XRP and Ethereum were observing the effect of a broader market pullback that had pushed the global crypto market cap to a low of $2.66 trillion at press time. 

XRP Continues to Outperform Ethereum 

Interestingly, XRP appears to be showing greater resilience than the rest of the altcoin market. For context, Ethereum has collapsed 48.4% since February. In contrast, XRP has dropped 25% within the same timeframe.

As a result, the XRP/ETH pair, which tracks XRP’s performance against Ethereum, has continued to increase as Ethereum declines faster than XRP. Notably, since November 2024, the XRPETH pair has increased by 255%.

In his recent analysis, Mr. Xoom noted that he expects XRP to continue outperforming Ethereum as the market progresses. However, going forward, this outperformance would not be due to XRP falling slower than ETH, as has been the case since February, but as a result of XRP rising faster than ETH.

According to Mr. Xoom, while the XRP/ETH pair could continue to rise in the future, he believes Ethereum price would also increase alongside. Notably, the analyst expects the broader crypto market to recover, pushing Ethereum to rebound from recent levels. However, he still believes XRP will spike more than ETH in this market recovery.

For context, due to XRP’s outperformance over the past five months, the XRP/ETH pair has increased from 0.00002024 in November 2024 to the current value of 0.001197. Nonetheless, this level is still much lower than the pair’s peak of 0.003667 in December 2018, suggesting XRP might still have more room to grow against ETH.

Data from Mr. Xoom’s chart shows that the crucial 0.003 psychological mark on the weekly XRPETH chart aligns with the 2.618 Fibonacci extension level. The analyst believes the pair is capable of rising from the current 0.001197 value to hit 0.003, representing a 150% increase.

XRP Prices at XRP/ETH Value of 0.003

Interestingly, Mr. Xoom projects Ethereum to possibly claim new all-time highs from $6,000 to $10,000 when the broader market recovers from the ongoing turbulence, marking an impressive rebound from the current price of $1,866. This aligns with Ali Martinez’s target.

Notably, if the XRP/ETH pair hits 0.003 when Ethereum trades at $6,000, this will translate to an XRP price of $18. Mr. Xoom had erroneously presented a price of $16. Further, if Ethereum changes hands at $10,000 when the XRPETH pair is at 0.003, the XRP price would stand at $30.

It bears mentioning that several analysts had predicted XRP to reach $30, with pundit DustyBC asserting last June that a “God candle” could do the trick. However, multiple cynics have dismissed the target, especially as it would lead to a market cap of $1.74 trillion for XRP.

Amid the pessimism, Mr. Xoom stressed in his recent analysis that the XRP/ETH projection is to show that the $30 target “isn’t completely crazy.” This echoes the sentiment of crypto trader Ralston Maximus, who suggested last October that the $30 to $35 is not a ridiculous target.

Widely followed crypto commentator Joshua Jake recently commented on the prospect of XRP reaching $10,000 per coin.

Jake’s commentary responded to a mathematical breakdown by another analyst who attempted to explain why a $10,000 per coin XRP could be a reality someday.

Notably, the $10,000 price prediction proponent cited potential ETF approvals for XRP as one of the catalysts that could trigger a price surge. The analysis suggested that XRP could experience a supercycle due to ETFs, institutional adoption, traditional finance (TradFi), and crypto reserves. In this case, the analyst expected XRP to rally up to $100 in the summer.

However, as the analysis progressed, Jake added his commentary. He dismisses parts of the argument he considers misconceptions, especially since the video has gone viral. First, Jake stressed that XRP ETFs cannot propel XRP to even $100.

ETFs, TradFi, Cannot Send XRP to $100

He noted that if this were possible, the success of Bitcoin ETFs should serve as the benchmark. Specifically, he argued that ETFs should have pushed Bitcoin’s price to $1 million per coin, but that remains far from reality.

Furthermore, Jake clarified that ETFs primarily open up institutional involvement, leading to increased market-making and higher resistance levels. Even so, pushing XRP to $30 or even $20 would require an extraordinary amount of value.

Jake also dismissed the idea that a supercycle for XRP could be triggered by TradFi adoption and crypto reserves.

He countered that President Donald Trump signed an order to establish a crypto reserve, but XRP was not even mentioned. While Trump had previously referenced XRP, the final order did not include XRP or any other altcoins aside from Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, Jake stressed that even if XRP is later included in the US crypto reserve, it won’t create the supply shock that proponents of ambitious XRP projections discuss. He added that a realistic supercycle for XRP could only bring it to $15.

Market Cap Does Matter

Jake stressed that while proponents of ambitious XRP predictions often claim market cap doesn’t matter, he argued that it does. Notably, at $100 per coin, XRP’s market cap would be $10 trillion. At $10,000 per coin, the market cap would be $1 quadrillion, a value that exceeds the total wealth of the world.

As a result, Jake urged enthusiasts to be cautiously optimistic about XRP and not to rely on unrealistic scenarios.

Why Banks Won’t Pump XRP to $10,000

The XRP enthusiast made the claim that XRP could skyrocket to $10,000 in a hypothetical scenario where “absolutely every single bank in every single country” uses XRP, and the token is burned from transactions.

Jake disagreed with this, pointing out that the market is flooded with competition, and XRP will be just one part of the ecosystem.

He also noted that token burns are insignificant as XRP still has approximately 99.98 billion tokens in circulation despite all the burns over the past decade.

Furthermore, Jake pointed out that Ripple holds around 40% of XRP’s supply. He emphasized that banks won’t pump the price to $10,000 because it would give Ripple too much control, potentially making it a multi-trillion-dollar company.

“No bank would want to put themselves in that position,” he said. Jake argued that these institutions would instead launch their own blockchain solutions.

XRP Sees More Development than Bitcoin and Ethereum?

Furthermore, the $10,000 price prediction proponent claimed that Bitcoin and Ethereum are enjoying lofty prices while lacking major developments. However, Jake countered by highlighting Ethereum’s crucial development.

He pointed out that everything is being tokenized on Ethereum, citing its total value locked (TVL) of $50.75 billion, compared to others that rank far below. Additionally, he mentioned that banks are using Ethereum as the foundational layer for their crypto projects.

Meanwhile, the XRP analyst also claimed that Bitcoin is a joke without any use case. Jake countered that Bitcoin is the greatest digital store of value. He also cited its use in the carbon credit market and its adoption by companies like ExxonMobil to reduce energy emissions. 

Bitcoin has massive adoption and support from organizations like the IMF and the U.S. government. XRP, on the other hand, is not being adopted on the same scale.

Ultimately, Jake clarified that he is not bashing XRP but calling for an open conversation to guide enthusiasts against overly speculative information.

“It’s easy to get caught up in hype, but unrealistic expectations about XRP’s price could lead to disappointment,” he concluded.

A crypto founder has insisted that investors must own at least 1,000 XRP tokens if they care about securing a financially successful future.

This bold assertion came from founder of Alpha Lions Academy Edoardo Farina, who has persistently maintained his bullish stance on XRP despite recent market uncertainties. Particularly, since reaching $2.6 on March 20, XRP has dropped by more than 25%, currently battling the bears at $2.16.

Each time the asset attempts to breach the $2.6 to $2.8 resistance range, it faces a massive roadblock that triggers a major correction. However, this bearish pressure has not dampened the confidence of permabulls such as Farina.

You Need to Hold at Least 1,000 XRP

In his latest commentary, while the altcoin struggles below $2.2, he charged investors to amass and hold at least 1,000 XRP. Notably, at the current price of $2.16, those interested in keeping to this charge would spend $2,160 to procure the 1,000 XRP.

According to Farina, holding at least 1,000 XRP tokens is non-negotiable for any investor who is interested in securing a financially successful future. “Owning at least 1,000 $XRP is NOT NEGOTIABLE if you care about your future financial success,” the market pundit boldly asserted.

This sentiment comes from the belief that XRP will likely skyrocket from the current level to much greater heights sometime in the future. For instance, earlier this month, Farina suggested that XRP reaching the much-coveted $20 price would only be the beginning. 

For the asset to claim $20, it must rally by more than 736%, and at this value, 1,000 XRP would be worth $20,000, a massive $17,610 ROI. Still, Farina believes this would only be the beginning of XRP’s higher uptrend.

Optimism Around an Imminent Upsurge

Notably, attaining financial freedom in any country would definitely require an investment worth more than $20,000. Interestingly, XRP had, in the past, demonstrated its penchant for explosive growth, helping investors secure life-changing wealth. 

Particularly, XRP rallied 109,899% from a low of $0.003 in January 2017 to a peak of $3.3 in January 2018. This meteoric surge transformed a $1,000 investment to $1.1 million within a year. Market commentators like Farina remain optimistic that XRP could replicate this run.

This would not be the first time Farina is charging market participants to hold at least 1,000 XRP. Earlier on, the analyst said holding just 1,000 XRP could be an investor’s best financial decision. Also, he advised those who hold less than 1,000 XRP tokens to ensure they add to their bag.

A market expert has suggested that XRP would still be undervalued even if it hit three figures, suggesting a six-figure price might be necessary.

This bold commentary came from Versan Aljarrah, host of The Black Swan Capitalist, who has persistently been an XRP permabull, often projecting ambitious price targets. His latest audacious take hinges on XRP’s potential role in the broader financial market.

XRP Undervalued at $100?

According to a post on X, Aljarrah believes XRP is built for unlimited scalability, making it a prime asset for institutional finance. He argues that as XRP’s price rises, its liquidity increases, enabling it to handle massive transaction volumes. 

Notably, several projections have tipped XRP to hit $100, but many have dismissed this target due to the resulting market cap. 

However, in an interesting twist, Aljarrah insists that even at $100, XRP remains deeply undervalued. He predicts that if it attains full adoption, a six-figure price won’t just be possible, but will be necessary for its role in financial markets.

XRP at the Forefront of Financial Disruption

In a previous disclosure, Aljarrah compared the ongoing transformation in finance to past disruptions in media and commerce. To support his claim, he referenced a statement from Mark Yusko, founder of Morgan Creek Capital. 

We’re witnessing the largest wealth transfer in history, just like the dot-com era. But this time, all value is being digitized on the blockchain, and #XRP will be at the core of transmitting it. You either position yourself now or get left behind with the rest. pic.twitter.com/chBQfXgbGL

Yusko pointed out that the internet drastically changed industries over the past three decades. Traditional media companies lost value to streaming platforms like Netflix, while small retailers struggled against giants like Amazon. 

However, Yusko emphasized that these changes are minor compared to the current revolution in financial services. He described finance as a multi-trillion-dollar industry and noted that many people fail to grasp the sheer scale of this shift.

Building on Yusko’s perspective, Aljarrah argued that blockchain technology is at the heart of this financial transformation. He believes the world is witnessing the largest wealth transfer in history. 

Just as the internet restructured entire industries, blockchain will redefine value storage and movement. In his view, XRP is positioned at the center of this change, making early adoption crucial. 

The XRP to $100 Target

Meanwhile, other analysts share similar views. Crypto analyst Amelia (@Crypto_Barbie) has an even more aggressive prediction. She dismissed the idea of XRP at $100 as unrealistic—not because it’s too high but because it’s too low. 

In her view, XRP will eventually reach five or six-digit valuations, echoing Aljarrah’s sentiments. She urged investors to prepare for a future where XRP stabilizes at these levels.

Also, in November 2024, market expert Armando Pantoja predicted a major breakout for XRP. At the time, the asset was trading at just $0.63, but Pantoja noted it was escaping a seven-year consolidation phase. He claimed that a $100 price was within reach. 

$XRP is currently breaking 7-year consolidation. $100 is definitely in range.

Despite prolonged low volatility and hovering around the 200-day EMA, Firing Gary Gensler will be the catalyst for a bullish reversal.

The analyst also pointed to regulatory factors, suggesting that the removal of former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler could trigger a price surge. Since then, Gensler has been removed, and XRP has climbed to the current price of $2.15, marking a 256% increase.
