Is Ripple (XRP) Gearing up for a New ATH Before Christmas? (Analysts Speculate)

As a seasoned crypto investor with a decade-long journey through the digital asset landscape, I find myself intrigued by the recent surge of XRP and the optimistic projections about its future price trajectory. Having witnessed numerous market cycles, I’ve learned to take forecasts with a grain of salt, but the current momentum behind XRP is hard to ignore.


TL;DR

  • XRP has been on a tear lately, with analysts predicting further growth.
  • Optimistic projections hinge on favorable conditions like a pro-crypto SEC leadership shift and historical performance of the asset.

New Peak Before the End of 2024?

Ripple‘s XRP digital currency has shown exceptional growth over the past month, witnessing a nearly 200% increase in its value. At present, it is trading around $1.50, leading many financial experts to speculate that this upward trend could continue.

A user on CrediBULL Crypto expressed optimism about XRP, stating that it looks impressive and might potentially increase to $1.60, provided Bitcoin doesn’t disrupt the trend.

The individual known as Crypto Assets Guy expressed increased optimism, predicting a surge up to $2 by November’s end and a record high exceeding $4 before Christmas. Additionally, they suggested that XRP could experience a significant increase, potentially reaching $10 during the opening quarter of the following year.

A dramatic increase in price would be expected if the market capitalization of this asset surpasses a staggering $500 billion. Currently, it’s approximately $85 billion, but several influential factors might propel an impressive comeback.

A significant factor to consider is the change in leadership at the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As CryptoPotato has reported, Chairman Gary Gensler is set to step down on January 20. Known as a stern opponent of the digital asset sector, the agency under his leadership filed numerous lawsuits against crypto companies. Notably, the legal fight with Ripple is among the most notable cases.

The long-standing lawsuit could potentially wrap up quicker and more advantageously for the company if Gensler’s successor is supportive of cryptocurrency. However, it’s merely speculation at this point who will take over his position and whether they will indeed be pro-crypto.

The Mega Bull

The user CryptoBull, known for discussing XRP’s market movements, recently posited that the price of XRP could potentially surge up to $30 under specific conditions.

As an analyst, I believe we might witness a similar pattern to the extraordinary rally seen in March 2017 if the valuation concludes the monthly chart around the $2 mark.

According to the prediction, if it maintains its current trajectory, it is likely to finish near $5 by December this year, and approximately $30 by the end of January 2025.
