XRP has opened the year on a firm footing, reversing the bearish momentum that carried it through the closing weeks of last year. Interestingly, one strategist is already pushing the conversation far beyond near-term targets. In a recent post on the social media platform X, BarriC outlined a psychological roadmap that explains how XRP could eventually trade at $100 per coin. This roadmap is built around how investor attitudes start to change as XRP reaches different price levels, which will gradually turn disbelief into C and urgency. Complacency At $2 To Quiet Regret Above $10 BarriC’s model starts with what he described as a dangerous sense of comfort at the lower end of XRP’s price range. Around $2 per XRP, most people assume they will always have access to cheap tokens, which removes any urgency to act. This attitude is evident in XRP’s current price action, with the cryptocurrency trading around $2.25 and slowly grinding higher. Related Reading: Here’s What Ripple Haters Get Wrong And Why XRP Is Set To Explode BarriC projected that even as the XRP price moves back toward $3, a successful reclaim of that level will still fail to generate excitement, because XRP is still seen as ordinary and easy to obtain. That same mindset, according to the strategist, will carry through to $5, where skepticism will start to take over. At that stage, critics begin questioning why XRP is only at $5 if it is truly expected to play a meaningful role in the future of global finance. However, BarriC believes the psychology will start to change once XRP pushes into double-digit territory, although not yet fully. Even if XRP is trading in the $10 to $20 range, most investors will not suddenly rush in but are still more likely to feel a subtle sense of regret mixed with resignation. This is where many convince themselves that XRP has likely reached its peak and that they have already missed the opportunity. BarriC describes this phase as one where people comfort themselves with the idea that at least it wasn’t a move to $100. Why $100 Becomes The Emotional Breaking Point According to BarriC, the fear of missing out is what will ultimately push the price of XRP into triple-digit territory. In his view, once XRP reaches $100, the disbelief will collapse and will be replaced by frustration and urgency, especially among investors who had long accepted the idea that such prices were impossible. Related Reading: XRP Price At $100 Is A liquidity Event Number, What This Means However, that will force latecomers to chase XRP at prices up to fifty times higher than its current price of $2. He extended this logic further by explaining that above $100, buying pressure would no longer be based on excitement alone. At $1,000 per XRP, the motivation will turn into desperation. His most extreme projection is a $10,000 XRP. This is a point of resignation, where investors fully grasp how severely they underestimated XRP’s long-term importance and the scale of the opportunity they once dismissed.

After enduring weeks of capitulation, sustained price declines, and overall market weakness last year, XRP is showing signs of a recovery. The cryptocurrency has rebounded above the $2.2 level after beginning the new year at a low of above $1.90. According to a crypto expert, XRP’s long-term outlook remains significantly bullish. He compares XRP’s projected trajectory to gold’s price movement, predicting a similar historic all-time high rally. XRP Tracks Gold’s Historic Run Market analyst ‘Steph is Crypto’ has stated that XRP is showing a rare chart setup that closely mirrors gold’s macro move between 2023 and 2025. In his analysis shared on X, the crypto expert explained that after a prolonged corrective phase, XRP has completed a clean Wave 4 structure, formed a Falling Wedge, and is now breaking out in a way that reflects early trend expansion behavior. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Parabola: What’s Different Between The Last Bull Cycle And This One? The analyst shared a parallel chart that illustrated gold’s price action over the years on one side and XRP’s movement and future trajectory on the other. Over the two-day timeframe, XRP has completed an impulsive Wave 1-3, followed by a downward-sloping corrective channel that slopes into Wave 4, ending with a compression typical of a Falling Wedge. Steph is Crypto directly compares this formation and price movement to gold, which went through an almost identical structure earlier between 2022 and 2023. Following this corrective pattern, gold broke out decisively, entering a strong expansion phase that carried the price to new ATHs over the past months. The breakout also led to a sustained rally with minimal pullbacks and consolidation for almost two years. Based on gold’s explosive historic performance, Steph is Crypto has projected that XRP could replicate a similar trajectory in 2026. The XRP chart shows price stabilizing above the Falling Wedge breakout area near the mid-$2 range. From there, the projected path suggests a rapid expansion phase that mirrors gold’s post-breakout trajectory. If XRP replicates this historic run, it implies a new all-time high cycle, with the price potentially skyrocketing toward $37 before the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027. The visual projection line on the chart shows that XRP could also experience a similar steady price expansion phase with minimal pullbacks along the way. Analyst Says XRP Could Outperform Bitcoin Soon Crypto analyst Matt Hughes has shared a new analysis of the XRP/BTC chart, pointing to a potential shift in long-term price performance. He believes that XRP is gearing up to outperform Bitcoin this year, based on a rate technical signal that just emerged on the trading pair’s chart. Related Reading: Popular Crypto Founder Dumps Millions In Ethereum, Here’s What He’s Buying According to Hughes, an incredibly bullish setup that has not appeared in years is developing on the XRP/BTC chart. He stated that price is about to break above the monthly Ichimoku Cloud for the first time since 2018, when XRP exploded to its current ATH of $3.84. Notably, a successful move above this cloud would signal a deep structural change in the cryptocurrency’s trend, potentially leading to significant relative gains this year.
