Say What You Want — XRP’s Chart Is Screaming $50 — Analyst

Source Newsbtc

XRP has had a rough few months. After touching a high of roughly $3.66 in mid-2025, the token has since pulled back sharply, recently hovering around $1.30. That is a steep drop by any measure.

But one widely followed crypto commentator is not backing down from a bold long-term call — and his argument rests entirely on what he sees in the charts.

A Chart That Points Higher, Way Higher

The analyst, known on X as CryptoBull, posted a monthly XRP/USD chart showing what he described as a multi-year consolidation pattern followed by a fresh breakout attempt heading into 2026.

His conclusion was blunt: a move to $50 looks like a “natural and normal” extension of the current structure. “No matter your feelings,” he wrote, “the chart says $50.”

Based on reports, CryptoBull has been building this case for some time, and the $50 figure is not pulled out of thin air — it falls squarely within the $28 to $70 target band he had previously laid out using higher timeframe analysis.

At current prices, a run to $50 would mean gains of more than 3,500%. That is a big number. But CryptoBull has been consistent in pushing back against the even wilder figures that circulate in XRP circles.

He has publicly rejected price targets of $1,000 or $10,000, calling them unsupported by any credible chart structure. By his own standards, $50 is the measured, reasonable call.

For context, a $28 XRP price would put its total market value near $1.7 trillion. At $70, that figure climbs above $4 trillion. Extreme? Yes. But far more grounded than the multi-hundred-trillion valuations implied by some of the more outlandish targets floating around online.

History As A Reference Point

CryptoBull has also pointed to XRP’s own track record to support his thesis. Reports say he reminded his followers that XRP once surged 3,500% — climbing from $0.11 all the way to $3.65 in a single market cycle.

Using that as a baseline, he suggested that a 2,000% expansion from current levels toward $28 is plausible in this cycle. A move to $50 would actually exceed that, coming in closer to the 3,500% range — roughly matching the scale of that earlier historic run.

Other analysts have echoed a similarly constructive view. Javon Marks has maintained that his measured price target above $15 remains unchanged, citing the same late-2024 breakout structure that CryptoBull references.

Korean Elliott Wave analyst XForceGlobal has also weighed in, saying XRP’s chart looks strong after the token revisited its previous all-time high zone and fully retraced toward the $1 area — a reset he believes can come before a powerful upward move.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
