The decline of the US dollar and the loss of purchasing power due to fiat currency inflation will drive global demand for Bitcoin.
A popular XRP proponent recently projected a clear path for XRP to reach $1,000. Particularly, crypto commentator BarriC laid out a multi-stage price forecast that places the XRP price on a trajectory toward $1,000. The statement, posted on the social media platform X, follows XRP’s recent surge to a new all-time high for the first time since 2018. Expert Predicts Multi-Stage XRP Price Explosion XRP has been on an interesting price run since the beginning of the month, which kicked off when it broke out of its long-term consolidation below $2.2 on July 5. This was followed by a string of inflows alongside the rest of the crypto market as Bitcoin pushed to new price territories above $120,000. Related Reading: XRP To $13 in 40 Days? Analyst Predicts Explosive Final Rally However, although Bitcoin peaked at $122,800 on July 14 and has since entered a corrective phase below $120,000, the altcoin has managed to keep up its gains in the days after July 14. This detachment from Bitcoin’s momentum started after the SEC’s approval of ProShares’ XRP ETFs, which has contributed to the crypto asset’s push to a new all-time high of $3.65 in the past 24 hours and its market cap breaking the $200 billion threshold. Interestingly, XRP’s price is now trading in unknown territory, and the next price target for bulls is $4. BarriC’s post begins with a near-term target of $4 for XRP, which many bullish analysts have been watching closely for weeks. From there, BarriC anticipates a rapid expansion into double digits, forecasting a range between $10 and $20. Although the projection did not come with a technical analysis of XRP’s price action, the outlook that truly captures attention is his final projection: a “clear path” that leads XRP beyond the $100 mark and ultimately to a $1,000 valuation. $1,000 XRP: Path Or Pipe Dream? The notion of XRP reaching $1,000 has been discussed in the past but remains a controversial subject. To achieve a price point in the triple digits, its market capitalization would need to exceed $50 trillion, more than double the value of the most valuable public companies in the world combined. Central to BarriC’s prediction of a $1,000 XRP price is based on the belief that its utility in cross-border payments and banking infrastructure will drive its long-term value. A $1,000 XRP becomes realistic only when mass institutional adoption from banks turns transactional demand into structural demand.

On the other hand, price targets like $10 and $100 in the coming years are still realistic based on the current fundamentals of the altcoin and the XRP Ledger. The first step is a break above $4, which can only be possible if XRP manages to secure $3 as its new base price going forward. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.44, up by 22% in the past seven days. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
A well‑known commentator in the crypto space has made a bold pitch. According to reports, Crypto Bitlord urged every new investor to put all their money into XRP. Related Reading: XRP To $13 in 40 Days? Analyst Predicts Explosive Final Rally This call comes after XRP surged to seven‑year highs above $3 and hit a peak of $3.60. The token posted a 21% gain in a single week, outpacing even Bitcoin’s record run. Eye‑Popping Returns Fuel Bold Call Bitlord pointed out that someone who invested $50,000 in XRP at roughly $0.60 last November would now hold about $289,000 as prices hover near $3.47. He reminded followers how XRP broke above $1 during last year’s rally and then climbed beyond the $3 level this summer. This kind of windfall led him to tell new market entrants to skip the usual research and “take all your money and go all into XRP.” If you’re new to crypto, don’t even think or question it. Take all your money and go all into $XRP — Crypto Bitlord (@crypto_bitlord7) July 18, 2025 Bitlord’s track record on XRP has had its twists. In mid‑2023, he touted the token when it traded around $0.50–$0.60, only to walk back those comments the following July. Some saw his pullback as sarcastic, since prices soon climbed past his earlier targets. Based on charts, he has also laid out what he thinks XRP could achieve—calling for dramatic moves that few other analysts dare to mention. Critics And Risks Remain Despite the rally, the altcoin still faces obstacles. Its connection to Ripple and the ongoing US Securities and Exchange Commission legal showdown create uncertainty. A court decision could go either way, and any ruling against Ripple might send the price sharply lower. Other analysts have echoed bullish views, encouraging investors to stack at least 10,000 XRP tokens. They said he won’t sell until XRP reaches $100. That price would value a 10,000‑token stash at $1 million. For many, that goal sounds distant. But analysts point to XRP’s history: it once traded for $0.002, making skeptics eat their words when it hit $1. Sky‑High Targets Or Pipe Dream? Bitlord has even floated a $10 target—an increase of about 180% from today’s levels. He believes some critics will end up “in mental institutions” if XRP ever tops that mark. Related Reading: XRP Becomes Top 3 Crypto After ProShares ETF Approval, Can It Flip ETH? He’s gone further, claiming the once‑joked $1,000 target is now within reach. Hitting $1,000 would push XRP’s market cap into the trillions, dwarfing most assets on the market today. As the market buzzes, investors face a choice. Some are drawn to XRP’s meteoric rise and rosy forecasts. Others warn against betting everything on a single crypto token. The numbers show a balanced approach—dividing funds across several coins and setting clear exit points—might help guard against the next big swing. For now, XRP remains one of the most talked‑about tokens in the crypto world. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
The cybersecurity exploit occurred due to a "sophisticated server breach," CoinDCX CEO and co-founder Sumit Gupta announced on Saturday.
Bitcoin’s price action has turned somewhat sluggish after its unprecedented climb to a new all-time high of $122,838 on July 14. The rapid push to that level was preceded by a week of frenzied trading and heavy inflows, with BTC breaking through multiple resistance zones in quick succession. However, once that peak was hit, a series of volatile intraday movements followed to give a pullback to $116,000 and Bitcoin is now back to trading between the $117,000 and $118,500 price zone. Related Reading: If You’re Wealthy, 1 Bitcoin Should Already Be In Your Wallet, Expert Says A notable bearish call came from crypto analyst Melikatrader94, who posted a technical breakdown on the TradingView platform that might send Bitcoin down to $113,000. QML Zone Rejection Points To Downtrend Toward $113,600 According to the hourly candlestick chart shared by Melikatrader94, Bitcoin is currently exhibiting a Quasimodo Level (QML) structure. The Quasimodo Level (QML) structure is characterized by three peaks in a bearish scenario or three troughs in a bullish scenario, with the middle one being the most prominent, identifying the price. The post predicted that Bitcoin’s entry into the $119,000–$121,000 zone would draw sellers, and this was indeed the case. The quick rejection after its all-time high confirms a bearish shift in structure, and now the momentum is tilted to the downside. This rejection came after a significant price move that engulfed a previous structural support level. “BTC rejected from QML zone and the selloff confirms bears are active,” the analyst noted. The bearish outlook remains valid as long as Bitcoin stays below the QML zone, with the next critical support level situated at $113,600. This area could serve as a potential point for either a bounce or short-term consolidation if the price continues downward. However, a pullback is likely to occur around $116,000 before Bitcoin falls to $113,600. Altcoins Under Threat As BTC Price Weakens The potential Bitcoin crash to the $113,000 region could have serious implications for many altcoins that are already starting to post massive gains. However, these altcoins, which often follow Bitcoin’s lead, are already showing signs of nervousness as BTC struggles to maintain upward momentum. Among the notable movers, XRP finally broke its eight-year-old resistance to hit a new all-time high of $3.65. However, the rally appears to be stalling, with the token now showing early signs of a correction around the $3.45 zone. Ethereum, which also surged on the back of Bitcoin’s push to $122,000, climbed above $3,600 for the first time in months but has since settled into a consolidation phase just below $3,500.

The crypto market was a story of two distinct halves, one of which saw the Bitcoin price soar to multiple all-time highs. After reaching its all-time high of around $122,800, the premier cryptocurrency has succumbed to a sobering wave of bearish pressure in the past few days. This recent wave of downward pressure was precipitated by the movement of a Satoshi-era whale on Thursday, July 17. However, the Bitcoin price never seemed likely to cross the $123,000 level, and a prominent on-chain expert on X has explained why. Is The Move To $143,000 Still Possible? In a recent post on the social media platform X, Alphractal CEO & founder Joao Wedson explained why the price of BTC failed to break the $123,000 level during its rally to a new all-time high in the past week. According to the crypto expert, this seeming loss of momentum could spell danger for the market leader in the short term. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sees Long-Term Holders Sell As Short-Term Buyers Step In – Sign Of Rally Exhaustion? The rationale behind this prediction is that the $123,000 region (or more precisely, $123,370) is the second Alpha Price level for the Bitcoin price. For context, the Alpha Price is a powerful on-chain indicator that uses several key metrics to estimate where the BTC price is likely to find support or resistance. In essence, the Alpha Price is a level that the price of Bitcoin needs to breach and stay above to enter the next significant phase of the bull cycle. “It begins by calculating the market’s age in days and uses that to derive the average market cap—essentially the historical valuation baseline,” Wedson added about the indicator. As shown in the chart above, the Alpha Price indicator has multiple threshold levels, which behave like pressure regions. These thresholds reflect zones where investor sentiment is likely to shift; lower levels act as supports because investors often buy to defend their positions, while upper levels signal increased selling pressure due to profit taking. Wedson noted that the Bitcoin price failing to breach the second Alpha Price level doesn’t imply that the market top is in. However, the $123,370 region is a clear resistance zone, and the BTC price might need to face some pullback before climbing to new highs. Wedson also mentioned that the Alpha Price level will update on Saturday, July 19, as it’s dynamically adjusted based on real-time on-chain transaction flows. Nevertheless, if the Bitcoin price does break this level, a move to above $143,000 could still be on the cards. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $117,610, reflecting an over 2% decline in the past 24 hours. Related Reading: Whales?

According to an on-chain analyst on X, Bitcoin has decoupled from other cryptocurrencies or altcoins, which could lead to a severe price downturn within the market over the next day. Why Traders Should Brace For Impact In a July 18 post on the social media platform X, Joao Wedson, founder of crypto analytics firm Alphractal, reported that the Bitcoin price might witness a significant drop over the next day. The crypto analyst based his conclusion on multiple results obtained from on-chain analysis using three major metrics. Related Reading: Bitcoin Trades Above $117K as Whale Deposits Decline and Stablecoin Inflows Rise First, Wedson referenced an earlier post made on X by Alphractal, saying that the market is currently dominated by long positions. According to the analyst, the effect of these long positions wouldn’t necessarily last long in a market where the shorts have been liquidated — a phenomenon which also holds for the reverse case. The chart above is from the Correlation Heatmap – BTCUSDT versus ALTCOINS metric, which reads the trajectory of the two crypto categories and compares them. Using the chart as a foundation, Wedson mentioned that altcoins are decoupling from Bitcoin. When altcoins cease to follow the premier cryptocurrency’s lead, the development could be subject to a couple of interpretations, which affect market sentiment. As a result, it is normal to expect increased market volatility. Wedson also referenced the Altcoin Season Index Vs Bitcoin metric, which is used to measure if altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin within a specific period. According to the analyst, this Altcoin Season Index is currently on the rise, which is typically a positive sign for the altcoins. However, if historical trends are anything to go by, a rising Altcoin Season Index might be a negative signal for Bitcoin. Wedson explained that the Bitcoin market might experience a dump, dragging along with it the currently rising Altcoins, to re-establish market balance. The crypto pundit also cited the Alpha Quant Signal as an influence in his conclusion. Wedson pointed out that the metric flashed a sell, which was expected, seeing as some significant whales recently added to the sell pressure on Bitcoin by selling a fraction of their holdings. Outlook For The Altcoins Even as the market flashes ominous signs, Joao Wedson expressed optimism in the viability of the beginning of an altcoin rally, saying he doesn’t believe this is the final leg down for the crypto market. “But it’s likely a sign that the market is about to form a new price base. So be cautious with the traps that might show up along the way,” the analyst added.
