Crypto experts continue to be bullish on the XRP price despite the poor performance that the altcoin has exhibited in recent times. Some of these experts see the cryptocurrency’s price rising higher from its current level, with one analyst expecting XRP to rise as high as $20 in the coming bull market.
XRP Price On The Verge Of Breakout
One of the crypto experts that has shown incredibly bullish sentiment toward the XRP price is Matthew Dixon, the CEO of crypto rating platform, Evai. Dixon took to X (formerly Twitter) to share with the crypto community that the XRP trading volume had been seeing positive headwinds in recent times.
At the time, the Evai chart shared by the the crypto CEO showed that XRP had recorded an approximately 42% increase in its daily trading volume to cross $2.1 billion. Using this increase in trading volume, Dixon believes that it shows the rising interest in the altcoin.
Naturally, increased interest often translates to increased demand, which can be bullish for a cryptocurrency’s price. This was the thought shared by the Evai CEO who believed the surge in trading volume and interest meant that the XRP price was on the verge of a breakout.
However, this does not seem to be the case, at least in the short term, since the XRP price continues to trend around the same level since Dixon first made the post. It is hovering around $0.61 at the time of this writing, with a0.96% gain in the last 24 hours.
Can Price Get To $20?
Predictions for the XRP price going into the next bull market have had a wide variety, from very conservative to very ambitious. For many, though, the expectation is that the XRP price will rise very quickly as regulatory clarity from the Ripple vs SEC case is fast approaching.
Crypto analyst Armando Patoja takes the ambitious route with his own prediction, forecasting an over 3,000% price increase for XRP. According to Patoja, the predictions that put XRP’s future price at $5 severely underestimate the ability of the altcoin.
On his own, the crypto analyst believes that the XRP price has the potential to rise even further to reach between $10 to $20. Patoja posits that saying XRP will reach just $5 is like expecting Bitcoin to top out at $1,000 in 2015.
There people saying #XRP will reach $5 are significantly underestimating.
This is similar to predicting #Bitcoin would cap at $1,000 in 2015. XRP is on a trajectory akin to Bitcoin’s in 2015, with a rapidly growing network effect.$XRP prediction: $10-$20. Thoughts?

Despite the growing XRP community, it is no doubt that Patoja’s prediction has been received with a grain of salt. One community member responded to the post saying XRP could not possibly rise that high because major projects who were building on the XRP Ledger have been abandoning it for other chains because it is a dead chain. Due to the lack of builders, they do not believe that XRP has the steam to run that high.
