Perhaps due to its popularity, but Ripple’s token is often the subject of some big price predictions, many of which come from its community, known as the XRP Army, and they are hard to believe, at least at first glance.
One of the latest, though, came from Ali Martinez, a renowned crypto analyst who has shown a lack of bias toward XRP in his commentary.
Moreover, he posted a massive, quite unrealistic target (at least for the time being) of $48, but he based it on technical analysis, indicating that this is the potential top during the next bull run, according to the multi-year triangle formation.
The AI solution first noted that the multi-year symmetrical triangle has started forming since its 2018 peak, and this measured move is calculated by taking the height of the pattern and projecting it upward from the breakout point.
In the asset’s case, the range is quite wide, from $0.20 to $3.84.
The current peak was obtained in 2025 at $3.60, while the breakout level is at the whopping $10-$13 zone.
It disclaimed that such measured moves from very large patterns “often exaggerate theoretical targets” because they assume a clean breakout with sustained momentum.
If XRP is to reach those levels, its market cap would make it roughly the current size of Apple and 2x that of Bitcoin.
To do so, these two factors would need to occur: The total crypto market cap would need to expand dramatically (possibly $10-$15 trillion).
XRP would have to capture a very large share of that capital.
ChatGPT went back to the 2016-2017 cycle when XRP posted a mind-blowing surge of 56,000%, jumping from approximately $0.006 to its then-all-time high of $3.40.
In 2020-2021, it gained over 1,000%, but those moves came when XRP was a lot smaller altcoin, which is not the case now.
“Compared with those numbers, 3,300% is not unprecedented in crypto, but it usually happens from much lower starting prices. From a $88 billion market cap – such moves become harder.”
If you need any adjustments, I can tweak the wording or paragraph structure.
