Analyst Dismisses Market Cap Concerns: XRP Price Still Primed for $10+ Surge

Forget everything you've heard about market cap limitations—one analyst just declared conventional metrics irrelevant for XRP's explosive potential.

Breaking Free From Traditional Constraints

Market cap calculations often get thrown around like gospel in crypto circles, but this analyst cuts through the noise with a bold counter-narrative. They argue that XRP's unique utility and institutional adoption trajectory bypass traditional valuation models entirely.

The $10+ Horizon Isn't Fantasy

While skeptics cling to spreadsheet math, real-world adoption patterns tell a different story. The analyst points to settlement volumes and cross-border flow growth that could propel XRP past psychological resistance levels—proving that sometimes the calculators need recalibrating for paradigm-shifting assets.

Finance traditionalists might clutch their pearls, but in crypto, we've seen crazier things happen than a mere $10 price point—after all, this is the industry where 'fundamentals' sometimes means which celebrity tweeted what.

Don’t Be Fooled By The Market Cap Argument

In a post on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, the crypto analyst warned XRP investors not to be fooled by those who say that the price cannot rise to $10+. Most especially, the argument that the market cap would be too high at this price would be irrelevant.

According to the post, the XRP price is expected to actually cross the double-digit mark in the next year. This is because with the triangle breakout that began back in 2024, the XRP price remains quite bullish. Hence, there is still a small window of opportunity where the altcoin could continue its run.

Going by the analyst’s chart, in the event of a breakout, the XRP price could quickly rally toward $4 to set a new all-time high. Then through the year 2026, the bullish wave is expected to persist, triggering an over 200% increase to break $10, and eventually rally toward $14.

XRP Price Still Bullish Despite Decline

Another crypto analyst, TradingShot, has also pointed out why the XRP price is still bullish, alluding to a technical setup on the 1-day chart. The analyst points to the fact that the price had bottomed back in April after months of onslaught due to Donald Trump’s tariff wars. Then, with the recent recovery, the price has been testing and holding the 1-Day MA50 as support above $2.7.

The significance of this is that the XRP price is holding this support after bottoming from its bearish leg on the 1-Day MA100 chart. Thus, this means that is the 1-Day MA50 is confirmed, then it WOULD be the push needed for the altcoin to continue to rally.

The target for the rally here is an over 60% increase in price to reach the $5 mark. “That Bullish Leg peaked on the 2.0 Fibonacci extension level. If this sequence is repeated, expect the next high to be around $5.00,” the crypto analyst explained.
