The price of XRP rose by 3.47% in the last day, yet the altcoin failed to recover from its bearish performance in the past week. In line with the general crypto market, XRP appears to be stuck in a range-bound market as more speculations arise on the viability of the current crypto bull run. However, XRP market analysts also remain bullish with recent predictions continuing to back a two-digit price target for the asset.

Earlier in May 2024, Egrag Crypto had stated that XRP and Bitcoin are mixing like the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans with distinct charts and trends yet still interacting significantly with the other. Based on these interactions as seen in the XRP/BTC chart, price projections for the altcoin are highly bullish. However, introducing a baseline conversion price of Bitcoin at $120,000, there are three possible uptrend scenarios for XRP based on previous price performance. In a moderate scenario A based on historical data from 2017, Egrag Crypto states XRP could gain by 1,264% pushing the XRP/BTC ratio approximately 0.000107. This circumstance translates into a potential XRP price of $12. According to historical data from 2017, Egrag highlights a strongly bullish scenario B where XRP’s price could rise by 3,600% resulting in a XRP/BTC ratio around 0.000247 and a market price of $29. The final scenario C which is more conservative and based on XRP’s performance in 2021 shows a “mere” 500% gain that produces a ratio of 0.000041, resulting in a potential XRP price of $5.

Thereafter, the crypto analyst expects a correction before the ratio races to around 0.00014 at which XRP may trade between $17 – $27. At press time, XRP trades at $2.34 following a 2.78% gain as earlier stated. However, daily trading volume is down by 15.20% and currently valued at $5.35 billion. Meanwhile, the coin’s performance on larger timeframes indicates turbulence in recent weeks as evidenced by losses of 4.65% and 3.69% in the past seven and thirty days respectively. Albeit, with a market cap of $134.74 billion, XRP ranks as the fourth largest crypto asset. Featured image from Blockzeit, chart from Tradingview
Popular market analyst Egrag Crypto has tipped XRP to soon hit the $2.90 price mark. This prediction comes amidst little movement in the XRP market following a consolidation between $2.25-$2.50 over the past few days. The altcoin emerged as one of the biggest market gainers post-US elections rising by over 340% since November 5. However, XRP alongside crypto market leader Bitcoin has only seen little gains so far in December.

Firstly, the analyst notes the asset has been moving between $2.27-$2.50 confirming a market move to gather momentum for a major price breakout in an upward direction. This notion follows a previous prediction whereby a price fall below $2.27 could have set XRP for a decline to around $2.17. However, in order to initiate any uptrend, Egrag stresses it is important that XRP closes above $2.50 on its hourly chart, which should result in a significant price gain. Thereafter, the altcoin is expected to retest $2.60. This suggests the need for market bulls to mount high-buying activity at this price level which is to function as a strong support zone that propels future price gain. Following a successful retest at $2.60, Egrag predicts XRP will resume its bullish trajectory, reaching a local peak of $2.90, leaving the asset just 24.4% away from its all-time high.

SEC Chair Gensler Suggests He May Step Down XRP Potential 2017 Repeat Predicts New ATH In January Following XRP’s price surge in November, analysts have re-echoed the possibility of the altcoin mirroring its first-ever major bull run from 2017. X analyst Crypto Bull has most recently dropped a take on this discourse stating XRP could hit a new all-time high on exactly January 2 if the 2017 cycle repeat proves true. Furthermore, the crypto analyst also predicts altcoin to be trading at $10 on January 15 representing a potential 4.16x on XRP’s current market price. Interestingly, certain XRP enthusiasts such as X user XRPE_Nomad expect the altcoin to produce a better performance than from 2017 based on its increased utility and better regulatory clarity. Generally, optimism around the third-largest cryptocurrency has been high following Donald Trump’s victory in the US Presidential elections which guaranteed the replacement of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and a potentially swift end to the legal saga between the Commission and Ripple. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $2.40 reflecting a 1.18% loss in the past day. Meanwhile, the coin’s daily trading volume valued at $7.48 billion has declined by 16.67%.

After recent robust bullish performances by several altcoins, multiple analysts have tipped the altseason to have begun, building momentum for a major price explosion in the coming weeks. Interestingly, popular analyst EGRAG Crypto has weighed in on the discourse around a highly-anticipated altseason, predicting a potential market inflow of $627 billion. Related Reading: Altcoins See Massive Inflows Amid Bitcoin’s Record Rally, But 2021 Bubble Warnings Persist Bitcoin Dominance To Crash By 33% As Altcoins Fly – Analyst In an X post on Friday, EGRAG Crypto provided valuable insight on the market growth potential of altcoins in the upcoming altseason. The analyst employed the Volume Range Visible Profile (VRVP), an analysis tool to identify key support and resistance levels based on trading volume, to study the trading activity of Bitcoin across different dominance levels. For context, the alt season is a period where altcoins significantly outperform Bitcoin in terms of price appreciation. It is characterized by a relative decline in Bitcoin’s market share as capital moves into other cryptocurrencies. As shown in the weekly chart below, EGRAG Crypto notes that Bitcoin’s dominance is closing below its Value Area High (VAH) i.e. the upper boundary of heavy trading activity which currently acts as a resistance zone. This development is particularly bullish for altcoins as it signals increasing selling pressure on Bitcoin which may weaken its dominance over other assets. Importantly, EGRAG Crypto also highlights the Value Area Low (VAL) i.e. lower boundary of heavy trading activity which is likely to act as support and target level for Bitcoin dominance in this altseason. According to values drawn by the analyst, BTC Dominance will decline by 33.04% if it reaches its Value Area Low. Therefore, considering Bitcoin’s current market cap of $1.91 trillion, the altcoins are likely to record new inflows of $627 billion in the forthcoming weeks. In addition, EGRAG Crypto also states Bitcoin Dominance will have a Point of Control (POC) target of 42% in this altseason. The POC represents a pivotal price/dominance level with the most trading volume and a decline below which signals a confirmative shift in market interest from Bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies.

Furthermore, the analyst states that if Ethereum (ETH), the largest altcoin by market cap, closes above 0.035 on the ETH/BTC chart for November, it will suggest a strong bullish period for altcoins in December. At the time of writing, the altcoin market remains valued at $1.39 trillion representing 41.4% of the total crypto market cap. Featured image from Medium, chart from Tradingview
