Can XRP indeed rally to $4, $5, or even $12?
Ripple’s cross-border token has gained over 9% in the past week and now sits near $1.15 after bottoming (for now, at least) at $1.01 a few weeks ago.
Such a notable resurgence in a relatively short timeframe has given wings to the perma-XRP-bulls, as new predictions of bigger rallies and peaks emerged over the weekend.
XRP to $4 or $5?
Crypto trader Nehal outlined the 1-week trading chart for the token, which clearly demonstrates the downhill price action that began a year ago when it peaked at $3.65. However, XRP is now testing the upper boundary, located at around $1.12-$1.15. A successful breakout could be the necessary push to start a new run.
The trader believes a major 250% rally could follow, sending the altcoin to a new all-time high of over $4.
Fellow analyst Mikybull Crypto shared a similar opinion, indicating that “something massive is coming for XRP.” Although they focused on XRP’s performance against BTC, which shows an identical declining move, their target against the greenback was even more bullish – $5.

It’s worth noting that such major price predictions of $4 or ‘at least’ $5 sound quite unreasonable at the moment, given the current market conditions and sentiment. However, XRP has proven in the past that it’s capable of similar moves, such as the one in late 2024 and early 2025, in which it rocketed from $0.50-$0.60 to $3.40 in just a few months.

Major Moment Arrives
Celal Kucuker also observed XRP’s price moves against the market leader, suggesting that the altcoin has reached a major moment. They explained that the red descending channel (seen in the tweet below) is close to breaking, which has been able to withstand all of XRP’s breakout attempts in the past few months.
They were significantly more bullish on Ripple’s altcoin, indicating that such a move would allow XRP to “outperform Bitcoin by 10x.” Their ultimate price target for the cross-border token is $12, which would coincide with the time “BTC is printing new ATH.”
The XRP/BTC chart is approaching a major moment.
The red descending channel is close to breaking.
When that breakout happens, I expect Ripple to outperform Bitcoin by 10x from here.
By the time $BTC is printing new ATH, $XRP will likely already be trading above $12

SUNCOAST joined the other analysts above in predicting that XRP is at “a massive decision point.” Its multi-month falling wedge is “compressed to the absolute max,” which would mean a massive move ahead. However, they didn’t provide a precise price target, but noted that the “expansion will be violent” once the breakout is confirmed.
