XRP, the native token of Ripple, has been a subject of much debate lately. While investors remain optimistic about its potential, its price has remained stagnant for most of 2024. In a recent interview with Der Aktionär at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Oliver Michel, CEO of Tokentus Investment AG, offered his analysis on XRP’s price performance and the reasons behind investor confidence.
Michel acknowledges XRP’s lackluster movement compared to other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana. However, he highlights a historical pattern that fuels investor optimism. Between 2014 and early 2017, XRP exhibited a significant price breakout after a period of sideways movement. This surge saw a staggering 4,300% increase, with XRP reaching $0.2522 by December 2017 from a low of $0.006 in January. Notably, this breakout was preceded by a similar period of stability, which eventually led to an all-time high of $3.84.
This historical performance, according to Michel, lays the groundwork for the current bullish sentiment surrounding XRP. With the token’s recent underperformance, investors are anticipating a similar price explosion. Michel strengthens this sentiment by pointing to the emergence of another bullish wedge pattern, suggesting a potential upward breakout on the horizon.
However, Michel adopts a cautious approach when discussing the extent of this potential surge. While acknowledging the possibility of a dramatic price increase, he suggests a 20-fold gain, propelling XRP to a price range of $8-$10, might be a more realistic target for 2024. “That would be quite nice,” he remarked, “It’s something to hope and wait for, and that’s what I’m doing.”

It’s important to consider Michel’s well-known pro-XRP stance and his public investment in the cryptocurrency. In previous analyses, he has expressed his belief in XRP’s potential to become a global reserve currency.
While Michel’s analysis offers an optimistic outlook for XRP in 2024, investors should conduct their own research and consider all relevant factors before making any investment decisions.
