Expert Says Don’t Be Surprised If XRP Suddenly Hits $4 This Week

The ongoing bullish momentum in XRP is fueling strong conviction and bold predictions once again. At press time, XRP is trading at $2.77, having surged over 7% in the past 24 hours. Earlier today, XRP reached an intraday high of $2.96 before pulling back slightly. For context, XRP last traded at this level in the first week of March, meaning the coin is now at an impressive four-month high. This surprising turnaround is fueling bold predictions from analysts and market watchers. Many now believe that a path to a new all-time high is more likely than ever. XRP to $4+ This Week? In a tweet , crypto educator Edoardo Farina stated that it wouldn’t be surprising if market participants woke up to see XRP trading above $4 as early as this week. Notably, XRP has remained below its peak for over seven and a half years, but optimism is growing for a breakout this month. Farina’s comment reflects the growing anticipation within the XRP community, as the coin rides a wave of renewed market enthusiasm. This comes as Bitcoin hit a new all-time high above $118,800, with XRP following suit. As Bitcoin continues to trade above $118,000, it has given altcoins significant room to outperform. XRP’s weekly performance now stands at an impressive 25% gain. Farina’s $4 prediction would represent roughly a 50% surge from current levels and would push XRP beyond its all-time high of $3.84, set in January 2018. According to some XRP commentators, until the coin breaks this stubborn peak, its price action remains relatively unremarkable. However, for analysts like Farina, the breakout is increasingly likely. In his view, it may not occur gradually but could happen suddenly and unexpectedly, fueled by FOMO. “Altcoin Season Not Even Here Yet” Commenting on the post, one X user highlighted that the Altcoin Season Index is still only at 28/100. This figure implies Bitcoin is still outperforming most altcoins.  In other words, the main altcoin frenzy has yet to begin, and XRP's current rally is already impressive. Many see the coin as positioning itself for even higher price levels. https://twitter.com/Beaub9/status/1943842004410282365 This perspective is widely shared among influential voices in the crypto space. Commentators like Alex Cobb have forecasted XRP reaching over $22.50 by December. Other analysts speculate that XRP could soon overtake Ethereum if current momentum continues. “Holding XRP Should Be a Priority” As a result, analysts like Oscar Ramos urge investors to prioritize XRP as the broader market turns bullish.  Contributing to the optimism are developments such as Ripple’s partnership with BNY to streamline operations, and its efforts to secure a bank charter and a Federal Reserve master account to expand RLUSD adoption.  RLUSD, now the 8th-largest stablecoin, runs on the XRP Ledger and uses XRP for transaction fees. Momentum is also building for an XRP ETF, with ProShares and others launching futures-based ETFs in July. More than 10 spot ETF applications are currently under SEC review. Meanwhile, whale accumulation is nearing record highs, with 2,742 wallets holding over 47.3 billion XRP.
