XRP bulls anticipate rapid price highs during the next cycle peak leading to increased bull activities. After the market dip, some traders flagged the possibility of a price jump to a new all-time high. Citing on-chain metrics and institutional adoption, altcoin bulls point to another cycle’s growth before a slight correction. XRP price trades at $2.52, sliding 16% this week amid United States trade tensions.
Incoming XRP 5th Wave
In a recent X post, digital asset analyst Dark Defender highlighted the potential growth map of XRP’s next phase. The present point of the asset’s cycle, termed the Fourth Phase, saw massive gains, with its price moving past $3. In the next phase, bulls expect a surge to $5.85 spurred by high institutional inflows and general market sentiments.
“XRP had a 4th Wave on his Intermediate Cycle, which I highlighted in Dark Blue, aiming for $5.85 with the 5th Wave. On the other hand, Primary Cycle Waves, highlighted in Light Blue, still aim for $18.22. (Not Financial Advice). I have used the same structure since July 23, when XRP was about 40-50 cents. And we are following it as the Northern Star.”
Several analysts have also shared these sentiments of the asset moving to a new all-time high. In a recent interview, pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton noted that XRP has a high chance to flip Ethereum to become the largest altcoin. He projected a price range between $7 and $8 in the cycle peak after approving spot XRP ETFs.
Deaton noted that Wall Street is attracted to the success of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which are setting sights on altcoins. Recently, several firms have filed for XRP ETFs in the United States, highlighting the scale of institutional demand. Ripple’s global partnerships with centralized institutions also boost trader confidence.
Community Backs XRP
The wider community has set sights on improved XRP adoption citing benefits to the wider market. Tristan Tate asked XRP holders to explain the hype and why the asset would go up to hundreds per coin. Digital asset users noted that the asset is more than hype as it will form a part of the U.S. infrastructure’s digital economy.
Other crypto users pointed to XRP’s transaction speed amid network scalability. Finally, XRP will be among the top gainers from US-friendly policies after years in the woods following a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit.
