XRP Price Surge Imminent? Crypto Analyst Drops Explosive Timeline

Ripple’s XRP has been the sleeping giant of crypto—but one industry insider claims the alarm clock’s about to ring.

Here’s what we know:

- The analyst—who nailed Bitcoin’s 2021 peak—predicts a perfect storm of regulatory clarity and institutional adoption by Q3 2025.

- Historical patterns suggest XRP could mirror its 2017 parabolic run (back when your Uber driver was giving trading advice).

- Liquidity pools are quietly loading up, with whale activity hitting levels not seen since the SEC lawsuit dust settled.

Of course, in crypto-land, ’next week’ sometimes means ’never’—and let’s not forget this is the same asset that turned ’utility token’ into a courtroom punchline. But if the stars align, we might finally see if XRP’s real use case is payments... or just propping up trading volume stats.

Bitcoin Dominance Points To Approaching Altcoin Season

According to Cryptoinsightuk’s latest commentary, the altcoin market, XRP included, is on the verge of another explosive rally. In a YouTube video, the analyst explained that bitcoin dominance is once again nearing an important threshold around the 70% mark, a point which in the past has marked the beginning of major altcoin seasons. This pattern has been evident across multiple cycles, and XRP, in particular, has shown the ability to outperform Bitcoin in these moments.

To support his prediction, the analyst referenced December 2024, a time when XRP surged from $0.50 to briefly above $3.30, outpacing Bitcoin in relative gains. This shows the possibility of large market cap altcoins to outperform Bitcoin, especially those with attention. He expects this trend to ring through most altcoins that have attention-based utility very soon, especially if Bitcoin dominance rejects around the 70% dominance. 

Once Bitcoin breaks through the $104,000 to $117,000 price range, the capital rotation into altcoins will likely begin. This liquidity move could create the conditions necessary for the XRP price to make its next leap and finally break into new all-time highs.

Speaking of new all-time highs, the analyst noted that ethereum in particular is looking like it is about to move to a new all-time high. “At some point we’re going to see $4,200 ETH this cycle,” he said.

What This Means For XRP’s Timeline

First, the analyst expects Bitcoin to MOVE squeeze through liquidity pools and at one point the price is going to go up significantly higher. If Bitcoin follows the exact timeline between the peak in March and the breakout in September, it will take 239 days. A similar movement will see Bitcoin break out massively sometime in July. 

Bitcoin at this point will reach a $160,000 price target, close to a $180,000 price top. If we get this move for Bitcoin, altcoins will rally when Bitcoin breaks through a range around $104,000 up until $117,000. Interestingly, this move is expected to be heradled by XRP. However, the rotation from Bitcoin into the altcoin market is mostly going to be through traders who bought before institutional money started flowing into Bitcoin. Particularly, those that bought before the last few weeks or before this cycle generally.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.50.
