Analyst: XRP “Explosion is Coming”

After a recent dip below a key psychological threshold, XRP has attracted analysts’ attention with predictions that the asset is poised for an explosive price move.

Following a brief drop to $0.4935 amid a broad market downturn on Friday, XRP rebounded to $0.5144 on Saturday, only to decline again below the $0.50 mark shortly after.

Analyst: XRP “Explosion is Coming”

One of the more bullish forecasts for XRP comes from a pseudonymous analyst, Random Crypto Pal, who recently shared a monthly chart of the token, suggesting that a significant upward shift is imminent.

According to this chart, XRP has broken out of a seven-year trendline, a milestone many technical analysts see as a pivotal turning point for the altcoin.

The trendline breakout reportedly occurred in August, a month when the token briefly traded in the $0.4 range before rising sharply. During that period, the asset bottomed at $0.4335 before climbing to a monthly high of $0.6416.

In the following month, September, the digital asset reached $0.6622, marking its highest level since an earlier yearly peak. Although October initially seemed promising for continued gains, XRP slipped to a two-month low over the recent weekend.

However, Random Crypto Pal characterized this decline as a “perfect retest of both trend lines,” explaining that backtesting these levels could signify that dramatic price movement may follow.

Previous Predictions of XRP’s Potential Price Growth

Random Crypto Pal’s latest commentary aligns with his earlier analyses that XRP is positioned for a significant increase in value , referencing a critical technical signal: the narrowing Bollinger Bands.

Notably, Random Crypto Pal observed that the Bollinger Bands—a volatility indicator that tends to signal potential price swings when they narrow—are again tightening for XRP. According to his analysis, this contraction happened only twice before, in early 2017 and again in 2020.

In the 2017 event, the digital asset saw an extraordinary surge, increasing by 71,381%, while the 2020 occurrence led to a more modest, though still notable, gain of 1,602%.

These prior instances of tightening Bollinger Bands suggest to Random Crypto Pal that XRP could be on the verge of another significant rally if historical patterns hold. Several other analysts also see the narrowing Bollinger Bands as a signal for upcoming price volatility.

Contrasting Opinions: Risk of Implosion for XRP

While some analysts share Random Crypto Pal’s optimism, the prediction of explosive growth has not gone unchallenged. Several commenters have voiced caution, arguing that XRP could be at risk of a price drop rather than a rally. One critic suggested XRP could face an implosion rather than an explosion, with another projecting a potential decline to as low as $0.15.

At the time of writing, XRP’s price has settled at approximately $0.5174, a small recovery from its recent weekend dip. These price movements suggest that market sentiment remains uncertain, though XRP continues to attract a close watch from both advocates and skeptics.
