Key Takeaways:

  • Analyst Edward Farina compares buying XRP at $2 to buying Bitcoin under $100.
  • Farina warns that trying to time the market could price out most traders.
  • Cold wallet strategy and holding core XRP positions are recommended.

XRP is currently trading around $2.18 following a modest pullback, but bullish sentiment remains strong among analysts and traders. Edward Farina, a well-known XRP advocate, recently likened the current price point to buying Bitcoin under $100, suggesting a massive upside potential from this level.

Farina Warns Against Market Timing: “Breakout Doesn’t Wait”

In a recent post on X, Farina cautioned traders against attempting to time the market. He explained that many XRP holders have been selling in hopes of buying back at lower prices — a move he believes will “backfire” for 95% of them.

“The breakout doesn’t wait for your plan,” Farina said, recalling his own experience from 2019 to 2020, when repeated attempts to outsmart the market left him behind. He noted that similar behavior is repeating now, with traders placing overly ambitious buy orders expecting a 30–70% drop, only to miss out on a swift rebound.

XRP Cold Wallet Strategy: HODL Mentality Encouraged

Farina also shared his long-term investment approach, advocating a cold wallet strategy. He advises storing 90% of the coin in a cold wallet to resist emotional decisions and reserving only 10% for active trading.

His golden rule? “Never sell your core the coin bag.” He believes that a single bullish event — such as a Swift integration or central bank adoption — could send XRP prices soaring overnight. Those who sold to capture a minor gain might find themselves permanently priced out.

Analysts Call XRP Under $2 a “Gift”

Other influential voices in the coin community echo Farina’s bullish outlook. Analyst DustyBC stated that XRP under $2 is a rare opportunity, and the market will likely look back by December 2025 and recognize its undervaluation.

Crypto Bitlord, another prominent figure, agrees and has set a $7 price target, calling XRP below $2 a “gift.” He even went as far as to say the token may never dip below $2 again.

Timing the Market May Prove Costly

XRP’s current price around $2.18 is stirring intense debate. While some traders attempt short-term plays, experienced analysts warn this could lead to being left out entirely. With long-term catalysts on the horizon, many believe now may be a crucial entry point.
