The XRP price has staged a strong recovery this month, making it one of the best-performing top ten cryptocurrencies.
Ripple (XRP) peaked at $1.6305 last week, rising 324% from its lowest point this year and pushing its market cap to over $81 billion. This valuation surpasses major global firms like Deutsche Bank, Marriott International, and BP.
With XRP’s bullish trajectory, analysts have shared optimistic forecasts. Edo Farina, a long-term Ripple supporter, predicted in an X post that the coin could surge to $10 during this bull run.
He cited fundamental catalysts, including expectations that Donald Trump’s victory could resolve Ripple’s ongoing conflict with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be over next year.
Meanwhile, Ripple and Archax have partnered to launch a tokenized fund on the XRP Ledger, signaling renewed activity on the network
Additionally, Ripple is developing RLUSD, a stablecoin intended to compete with Tether (USDT) PayPal USD, and USD Coin (USDC).
There are also rumors of Ripple launching an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the coming years. A January CNBC report suggested the company postponed its IPO plans due to SEC challenges, a situation that could shift next year.
Can the XRP price jump to $10?
The price of Ripple traded at $1.4381 on Nov. 25, requiring a 600% increase to reach $10. Such a move would exceed its recent performance but aligns with past trends, like its 1,800% jump from 2020 lows to its all-time high in 2021.
The weekly chart shows that Ripple broke the significant resistance level of $0.9350, the neckline of a slanted triple-bottom pattern. The coin has moved above the 50-week and 200-week Exponential Moving Averages, suggesting positive momentum. There are also indications of a bullish pennant pattern forming.
While XRP may continue climbing, potentially reaching its all-time high of $1.96 and further to $5, a leap to $10 in 2024 remains unlikely.
