Expert Says Ripple’s  XRP Price Could Still Hit $30 This Cycle – Here’s Why 

A new round of bold XRP predictions is making noise again, and this time it’s coming from Korean Elliott Wave analyst XForceGlobal. He says there is still an “extremely high chance” that the XRP price will reach $15–$30 before the current market cycle ends. 

With XRP trading in the low $2 range right now, that would mean a 6x to 12x move – and naturally, people are debating whether that’s realistic or not.

XForceGlobal has been consistent with this call all year. He says the larger Elliott Wave structure hasn’t been invalidated, even though XRP has been stuck around the same levels for most of 2025.

In his view, the long sideways price action is normal for this stage of the pattern, and he believes the setup is still intact for a major breakout.

But not everyone agrees.

Trader Nico pushed back against the idea of the XRP price hitting $30, arguing that previous XRP cycles only produced around 3x–5x rallies from similar setups. For him, expecting a 12x climb from here feels more like a “moonshot scenario” than a typical cycle move.

Another trader, Justin Oleary, focused more on timing. He questioned whether XRP’s next big impulse would even arrive anytime soon, asking if it will come “in 8 months, years, or decades.” His comment reflects what a lot of XRP holders feel right now: the price has been stuck for so long that people are losing patience.

Still, XForceGlobal isn’t alone in making bullish calls.

Analyst EGRAG has been highlighting repeating historical patterns that look similar to what happened before XRP’s big rallies in 2017 and 2021. 

According to his Fibonacci levels, he sees possible targets between $6–$10, with a stretch target around $37. He also says the XRP price tends to break out quickly once it escapes a compression structure – usually within 4–6 weeks.

Macroeconomist Mikybull also shared an optimistic view. He said XRP could follow a move similar to Zcash’s massive 18x rally, which would place short-term price targets at around $8–$10.

Meanwhile, analyst Matt Hughes pointed out something completely new in XRP long-term structure. He says XRP has formed its first multi-quarter base above the 3-month Ichimoku Cloud, something it didn’t do in 2017 or 2021. 

Hughes believes this could signal one of the strongest long-term setups XRP has ever shown. His earlier Fibonacci checkpoints point toward $4.70–$9.30 and $12.30.

Together, these analysts paint very different scenarios. Some expect a slow grind, others predict a massive explosive rally, and a few say the timing is still unclear. 

But all of them agree on one thing: the XRP price is sitting in an important consolidation zone, and whatever happens next will determine whether these big numbers – especially the $15–$30 target – stay on the table or get pushed into the next cycle.
