Ripple’s native token, XRP, has struggled to regain the momentum that propelled it to an all-time high in July 2025. In recent weeks, its decline has accelerated, dipping to $1.02 on Friday.
Analyst Remains Bullish Despite Price Dip
Despite the recent downturn, popular market analyst EGRAG CRYPTO maintains a conviction that XRP is approaching a critical “make-or-break” phase, which he terms “The Chasm.” This period, he argues, typically rewards patient investors while forcing short-term traders to exit.
EGRAG acknowledged that his prior expectation of $2.00 serving as macro support did not materialize. However, he believes the overall bullish structure remains intact as XRP nears its 100-week exponential moving average (EMA). This level has historically provided significant support during previous bear market cycles.
The analyst outlined an ideal scenario where XRP stabilizes between $0.95 and $1.00, representing a healthy retest of macro levels before a potential upward move. He did, however, concede the possibility of a more severe downturn. Nevertheless, EGRAG does not anticipate XRP falling below $0.80, which aligns with the lower boundary of its long-term ascending channel.
Ambitious Long-Term Price Targets
The long-term outlook is a key driver for XRP’s supporters. EGRAG remains highly optimistic, projecting ambitious targets of $15, $27, and a remarkable $50 for the token.
He drew a parallel between XRP investors and early shareholders of tech giants like Amazon, Apple, and Google, suggesting that markets often test an asset’s conviction before rewarding long-term holders. EGRAG’s advice to investors is to focus on remaining invested rather than attempting to perfectly time market bottoms, anticipating future expansion.
Realism Amidst High Price Predictions
With XRP trading just above $1.00 at the time of this report, the projected long-term targets, particularly $50, may appear highly speculative, and indeed, the current market structure does not support such predictions. Even the more conservative target of $15 would necessitate a nearly 15-fold increase, requiring XRP to significantly surpass its current all-time high of $3.65.
Achieving a $1 trillion market capitalization, a feat only accomplished by Bitcoin to date, would be a prerequisite for such price levels. This would depend on sustained growth for both XRP and the company behind it, substantial institutional investment, greater regulatory clarity, and a broader market rally.
The immediate question is not whether XRP can reach double-digit prices, but rather if the necessary catalysts will materialize swiftly enough. Nonetheless, XRP has a history of defying expectations and has previously delivered substantial triple- and even quadruple-digit rallies.
