As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for spotting trends and understanding market dynamics, I have always been intrigued by the unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency market. The recent revival we’ve witnessed since the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates has been a breath of fresh air, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.


Since mid-last week, following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to reduce interest rates by 0.5% in the nation, there has been a resurgence in the entire cryptocurrency market that started around late 2024.

Despite Bitcoin, Ethereum, and various alternative coins showing notable increases, Ripple‘s native token has largely stayed the same, with little to no growth even on a weekly and monthly basis. Yet, this trend could shift in October, a period often seen as particularly favorable for cryptocurrencies.

XRP in October

Over the past week and month, XRP‘s performance has been relatively lackluster. It hasn’t shown much growth compared to a week ago, increasing only 1.6% from last month. Conversely, Bitcoin has risen by 9% since late August, Binance Coin has jumped over 11%, and Dogecoin has skyrocketed more than 21%.

According to remarks made by Bitget Research’s Head Analyst, Ryan Lee in a conversation with CryptoPotato, he outlined potential future trajectories for Ripple’s token. A bullish forecast suggests that the seventh-largest digital currency could experience a 30% surge, potentially reaching $0.75.

The reason for this is that the general feeling in the market is very positive, and it might remain so, particularly if there’s any favorable movement in the court case between Ripple and the SEC.

According to Lee’s statement, many experts and financiers are pointing out a possible increase in the price of XRP. This could entice more individual investors, thereby potentially causing the price to rise even further.

Technically speaking, the analyst noted that XRP has surpassed a significant trendline, usually perceived as a positive indication. At present, the asset hovers above its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages. When combined with bullish signs from tools like MACD and RSI, this situation might lead to an optimistic October for XRP investors.

The Catch

As a researcher delving into the XRP market, I must acknowledge that while there’s an optimistic scenario for XRP bulls, there exists another potential outcome proposed by Lee. This alternative could materialize if the ongoing legal battle with the SEC takes a negative turn, perhaps prompted by rumors of an agency appeal. In such a case, the support level at $0.45 might be revisited.

Furthermore, Lee suggests that a large number of analysts forecasting “parabolic growth” for XRP in October might actually cause the opposite reaction in its price. Consequently, he advises investors to be wary of such extreme projections, establish stop-loss orders, and opt for systematic purchases rather than impulsive ones.
