Could XRP Really Hit $12? Here’s Why It Might (Or Might Not)

by

In a recent webcast, the market guru Crypto Insight UK dropped a bombshell: XRP’s current situation looks like a carbon copy of the pre-euphoric days of 2021, when the price skyrocketed from $0.50 to $2.70 in just a few weeks. According to the expert, XRP could be heading straight for $12. Yep, twelve bucks. And who doesn’t love a good “what if” scenario? 😜

So…When Is This $12 Magic Happening?

Our analyst, a man who clearly knows his charts (and his coffee), started by discussing Bitcoin. Why? Because everything, apparently, follows Bitcoin—like how every sitcom follows a predictable plot. Bitcoin’s recent performance? Well, it just had its highest weekly close ever, but don’t get too excited yet. Why? The weekly RSI (Relative Strength Index for the uninitiated) hasn’t gone full-on “buy everything, I’m rich!” territory. This, according to our analyst, means there’s still time for the mania to kick in. The RSI going full bull mode could trigger that euphoric price push we all secretly pray for. And XRP’s past performance proves it: back in the day, when RSI hit those heights, XRP surged to $2.70 in record time.

Then, there’s talk of “order-book heat maps”—a phrase that sounds like something out of a techno-thriller, but trust me, it’s important. There’s this dense liquidity cluster sitting just above $130,000, with another below it. This means if Bitcoin takes a little dip to around $100K, our man is all in on altcoins. Go big or go home, right?

He theorizes the market’s in a cycle: Bitcoin pushes up, squeezes shorts, price stabilizes, and the pattern repeats until—wait for it—a macro catalyst like a sudden geopolitical disaster or, who knows, a divine intervention in the form of Bitcoin hitting $130,000. That’s when altseason would officially start. Yep, altcoins, move over. XRP’s got a date with destiny.

XRP’s chart? Oh, it’s looking good too. The price has moved out of its Wyckoff accumulation range (don’t worry, I had to Google that too), and now it’s bouncing off previous resistance like it’s training for a high jump competition. Momentum’s picking up, and if that pesky descending trend-line breaks, XRP’s going to rocket back up—possibly to the promised land of $12.

XRP Price Catalysts (A.k.a. “The Ripple Effect”)

And now, for the narrative catalysts—yes, because no price prediction is complete without some juicy corporate drama. First up: Reece Merrick, Ripple’s managing director, just announced a partnership with the Dubai Land Department. They’re tokenizing real-estate deeds on the XRP Ledger. Big deal, right? That’s the kind of news that screams “we’re reliable” in the crypto world. Like buying a vintage car from a trustworthy guy who definitely doesn’t have a ‘rebuild’ history.

Meanwhile, Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road is a big step in the right direction. This isn’t just any acquisition, folks. Hidden Road is a prime brokerage in Dubai with crypto payments licenses. You know, for that extra flair. And then there’s talk of Ripple buying Circle (the folks behind USDC) for a casual $11 billion. Just another Tuesday in the crypto world.

Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s head honcho, also seems pretty chummy with ETFs these days. He even made them the topic of his “Crypto in a Minute” show, likely because who doesn’t want to sound like they’re on the cutting edge of investment strategies? A potential XRP ETF? It’s happening—just wait for it. Even the SEC’s ongoing lawsuit is looking like it could turn into a cherry on top of this bullish sundae.

Put all these developments together, and you’ve got a perfect storm of positive vibes that will, in theory, send XRP’s price higher. But don’t get too carried away, because as we all know, crypto is like a rollercoaster designed by a drunk engineer.

But, before you start ordering your new Lambo, remember: risk management is key. In the world of crypto, gains are never truly gains until they’re in your bank account. The analyst suggests taking profits at interim targets—because, believe me, unrealized gains are just an illusion. XRP to $12 might be the dream, but remember, there’s always a chance it could drop back to $4.50. So, yeah, maybe take a little off the table just in case. 🧐

As of right now, XRP is sitting comfortably at $2.30. Hold onto your hats, folks, the ride might just be getting started.
