As Silver Explodes Parabolically, Analysts Say XRP Sits in Same Psychological Blind Spot for 2026

The projection that XRP will follow silver’s trajectory and record parabolic expansions in the coming days is gaining momentum.

Notably, XRP proponents are heavily predicting this outcome, citing several factors that would spur this price surge. Recently, Black Swan Capitalist co-founder Vandell Aljarrah joined this group of enthusiastic supporters, predicting that XRP will soar like silver did this year.

Silver Recorded Staggering Price Growth

For the uninitiated, data shows that silver recorded a staggering price increase in the previous year. The precious metal opened in 2025 at $28.8 per ounce and recorded what was its largest yearly gain in history, with a 147% surge, per TradingView data.

Interestingly, silver started the year slowly but gained momentum in June 2025. From $33, it surged 154% to its yearly high of $83.9 before relinquishing some of its gains to close the year at $71.6.

Notably, it has started brightly again this year, rising 4% in two days to reclaim $74.50 per ounce, as the late-year correction seems to have subsided.

XRP Sits as the Same Psychological Blind Spot

Meanwhile, Vandell sees a similar price explosion for XRP, an asset that enthusiasts refer to as “digital silver.” His reason for this call is that XRP sits at the same “psychological blind spot” as silver before its parabolic expansion.

The co-founder emphasized that silver’s sudden breakout and expansion is a textbook example of how asymmetrical moves unfold. The prominent asset endured a prolonged period of consolidation and price suppression until those shackles couldn’t hold it again. After gaining momentum, it surged to unprecedented levels, rewarding patient holders with outsized gains.

Vandell highlighted that XRP has a high probability of following that trajectory in 2026. As silver stunned doubters, he believes that the XRPL native token will catch the unexposed and late participants unawares.

Notably, the psychological blind spot here implied a period where investors overlook an asset, undervaluing its potential to trigger major shifts. According to him, XRP is at that point, with several narratives and arguments recently discrediting the coin, its use case, and bullish price prospect.

Vandell’s prediction aligns with earlier projections that the next XRP move will be fast and aggressive. Coach JV shared this in December, insisting this move will happen when the time is right.

How High Can XRP Go if It Follows Silver’s Trajectory

If XRP replicated silver’s 154% rise in 2025, its price would soar to $4.75. Meanwhile, an earlier report from The Crypto Basic has underscored the possible price of XRP if it reaches silver’s valuation one day. At the time, the precious metal had a market cap of $4.485 trillion, ranking as the third-largest asset globally.

With XRP’s circulating supply of 60.57 billion, this culminated in a price of $74 for XRP, representing a 3,857% growth from the current market price of $1.87. While XRP’s circulating supply has increased to 60.67 billion tokens, per CoinMarketCap, the price target remains almost unchanged at $73.9.
