A $100 XRP would need a $6 trillion market cap, well above the $3.9 trillion crypto market.
Analysts predict mixed outcomes for XRP, with long-term targets ranging from $4 to $15.

XRPUSD showed a strong bearish move on the H1 chart and is
trading near 2.82500 at the time of writing. The level had earlier produced a
notable intraday bounce, suggesting it remains an area of interest. A bullish
reversal could lead to choppy price action, while a break below may add further
bearish pressure on the shorter timeframes.

Analysts have disputed viral claims that small XRP
investments could lead to significant wealth. They argued that such
expectations are misleading and rely on unrealistic price projections.

Market Cap Limits Challenge Higher Targets

A recent analysis from the YouTube channel Discover Crypto noted
that even larger allocations would deliver limited returns unless extreme price
levels are reached.

XRP/BTC Pair Shows Technical Signals

On the technical side, the review highlighted tightening
Bollinger Bands in the XRP to Bitcoin pair, often a sign of major price moves.
Support was identified around 2,500 satoshis, with potential targets of 3,000
and 4,200 if resistance levels break.

Wyckoff Pattern Suggests Potential Upside

The chart was also said to resemble a Wyckoff accumulation
pattern, which can precede price gains. Based on this, targets between $4 and
$5 were suggested, alongside a speculative case pointing much higher. However,
the analyst cautioned that such outcomes would depend on adoption and capital
inflows not currently visible.

Analysts Outline Mixed Scenarios for XRP Amid Stable
Technicals

Crypto analyst Cilinix
Crypto provided an update on XRP, noting that technical conditions are
stable, though broader trends could support upward movement. Near-term targets
were identified between $3.07 and $3.13, with $3.13 as the primary level, while
a longer-term $3.30 target may face resistance.

Other analysts have outlined various scenarios for XRP,
currently trading near $2.90. CoinsKid
projects a minimum upside of $4.13, noting a potential fifth-wave pattern,
with short-term support at $2.66 and broader bullish outlook contingent on
holding above $1.91.

Forecasts differ widely, with DeepSeek AI expecting XRP to
trade between $3.50 and $5.00 by late 2025, and longer-term projections
extending to $8.00–$15.00 by 2030, influenced by regulation and adoption
trends.
