Market commentator Nathaniel Rothschild has projected that XRP and other altcoins could reach their all-time highs within three weeks, following Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent price peak.
Bitcoin set a new all-time high of $125,725 on Oct. 5, marking a 15% rebound from its September low of $108,652. The surge, which broke the August record of $124,517, has reignited optimism across the crypto market.
Rothschild suggested that if Bitcoin’s Oct. 5 level represents its cycle top, altcoins may follow suit with new highs by late October, particularly XRP. His post on X (formerly Twitter) on Oct. 5 placed the target window around the week of Oct. 26, less than two weeks from now.
XRP’s Path to a New Record
XRP’s current all-time high remains a point of contention. Some data sources, such as CoinMarketCap, list its 2018 high at $3.84, while others point to $3.31. In this cycle, XRP hit $3.4 in January 2025 and another peak at $3.66 in July 2025.
With XRP currently trading at $2.22, the asset would need to rise 65% to break its July high — a challenge, but not impossible. XRP managed a similar move earlier this year, rallying from $2.22 to $3.66 in just 14 days during a bullish surge.

Market Uncertainty Could Delay the Rally
However, the backdrop has shifted since Rothschild’s prediction. The Oct. 10 market crash wiped out much of the recent momentum, with Bitcoin and Ethereum down 13.7% and 14% respectively over the past two weeks.
This turbulence has dragged XRP to fresh lows, raising questions about whether Rothschild’s timeline remains realistic. Still, the analyst has been consistently bullish, even forecasting in July that XRP could reach $26 based on its performance relative to Bitcoin.
If Bitcoin’s $125K level proves to be the top for this cycle, Rothschild’s model suggests altcoin peaks are due by late October. While market sentiment remains cautious, XRP’s historical price behavior shows it can move fast when momentum shifts.
