XRP to Hit $15, Bold Forecast Promises 512% Gains, Critics Say “Calm Down”

A notable community commentator has boldly asserted that a major rally could soon drive the XRP price to double digits.

XRP has been in a holding pattern for several weeks, with more intraday losses than gains. Since XRP touched $3.34 in January, it has repeatedly dipped below $2, even reaching as low as $1.70 at one point.

At press time, XRP is hovering around $209, down by 39% in the last two months. As XRP’s price has not seen significant improvement in recent weeks, despite the resolution of the Ripple lawsuit, some have written off the coin.

However, some widely followed market watchers argue that XRP could still achieve great things this year. Among them is the influencer behind the channel “The Modern Investor.”

XRP to $10-$15 Incoming?

In a tweet, he boldly asserted that XRP was on track for a substantial price increase, potentially reaching a range of $10 to $15. From the prevailing market value, the lower boundary would represent a 308% gain, while the higher threshold would mean a 512% upside.

This is not The Modern Investor’s first call for an imminent price rally to the double-digit range. He previously made a similar claim for $10, citing a possible zero capital gains tax on crypto by the U.S. government.

The analyst suggests that such a policy could drive significant growth in major U.S.-based cryptocurrencies like XRP. The speculated move also aligns with Trump’s push for a national crypto asset reserve with some U.S. coins.

Notably, other market commentators, like Edoardo Farina, have also expressed strong optimism for XRP this year. Farina expects a new peak value this year, regardless of the current price action. However, he did not provide a specific price target.

Could This Be a Bearish Signal?

However, many do not share this optimism about XRP. Responding to The Modern Investor’s call for a $10 to $15 rally, community member Dobbo urged him to calm down and temper his bullishness cautiously.

Likewise, co-founder SurferMonkey responded that such bold posts remind him of similar predictions for Cardano during the last cycle at $3.30, when popular voices were predicting $10 before the price collapsed.

This sentiment suggests that sustained bold calls on XRP, in a time that shows signs of market struggles, could serve as a signal for a market top or an impending major crash, as some have been warning for a while.

These type of post remind me of those @Cardano post last cycle at $3.30 where everyone was predicting $10 before the price collapsed.
