XRP has emerged as a top performer in the current cryptocurrency bull cycle, recovering key psychological price levels it had previously lost. After a prolonged period of underperformance, the asset has surged past several critical benchmarks, reigniting investor confidence.
XRP reclaimed the $1 mark on November 16, 2024, and swiftly climbed to the $2 region by December 1, 2024. Its upward trajectory continued into the new year, with XRP surpassing $3 on January 15, 2025. Now trading at $3.18, up 3.18% in the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency has firmly held its ground above the $3 level, setting its sights on the $4 psychological threshold.
Analysts Predict XRP’s Path
Renowned market watchers like Ali Martinez and EGRAG Crypto are optimistic about XRP’s next move. Martinez has consistently championed a push toward $4, while EGRAG’s analysis points to the $4.40 to $5 range as a potential pivotal zone. Leveraging the Optimizer indicator, EGRAG highlighted XRP’s historical peaks: $0.2274 in May 2017, $3.06 in January 2018, and $1.98 in April 2021.

EGRAG suggests that XRP’s current trajectory mirrors its 2018 peak but anticipates a more significant rally this time. Should XRP breach the $4.40-$5 zone, he projects three ambitious targets:
- $13 – a 308% increase from current levels.
- $27 – a 107% rise from $13.
- $44 – a 62% gain from $27.
Key Challenges Ahead
While the outlook is bullish, the $4-$5 region could trigger either a breakout or a significant pullback, as seen during XRP’s 2018 correction. Analysts emphasize the importance of defending the $3 level to sustain momentum toward higher targets.
