Top XRP Price Predictions

DATE POSTED:January 17, 2026
Top XRP Price Predictions

The post Top XRP Price Predictions appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

XRP is once again in focus as multiple market analysts turn increasingly optimistic about its price outlook, with some predicting that the token could reach $20 during the current market cycle.

After months of sideways movement, the Community believes XRP is building the foundation for a major rally. While short-term volatility remains possible, most experts agree that XRP’s long-term trend is still positive and that the current phase looks similar to past periods that came before strong price surges.

Analysts Predict Double-Digit XRP Prices This Cycle

Top XRP analysts believe the token is entering the final stage of its market cycle, which has historically produced the strongest price gains.

XRP Price Analysis

Market analyst EGRAG Crypto stated that XRP’s chart is “screaming $20,” pointing to repeated price behavior seen in previous cycles. He explained that XRP has completed several growth phases and is now in a temporary cooling period before the next major upward move begins.

XRP Analysis

Another analyst, Leb Crypto, highlighted XRP’s long-term base formation, saying the token is setting up for a major swing higher with targets at $7 and $19.50. He believes XRP has spent years building strength and that such long consolidation phases usually lead to powerful breakouts.

XRP Price Comparsion

Charter, a technical analyst, compared XRP’s current structure to its 2017 bull run. He noted that XRP previously surged, paused for several months, and then delivered a second, much larger rally. According to him, XRP is now in a similar pause phase, which could be followed by a strong price expansion.

XRP is following a familiar historical pattern. In previous cycles, XRP moved slowly at first, then rallied, paused again, and finally exploded higher when the broader altcoin market took off.

The altcoin already completed its first major breakout in late 2024. Since then, it has been moving in a tight range, which they view as a healthy reset rather than weakness.

Key price levels also support this view. Holding above the $2 area is a sign of strength. A break above the previous high near $3.65 could open the door for a much larger move.

However, on the bearish end,  XRP Price could briefly dip toward $1.65 if the wider market weakens. Such a drop would not damage the overall bullish structure and could act as a final shakeout before a rally.

On-Chain Data Shows Whales Quietly Accumulating XRP

Blockchain data adds weight to the bullish case. According to data from CryptoQuant, large investors continue to buy XRP in both spot and futures markets. These “whales” are increasing their holdings while prices remain calm.

Historically, this type of accumulation has appeared before major price rallies, as large investors tend to position early before public interest returns.

Analysts say this behavior suggests that smart money views current XRP prices as attractive, expecting higher levels in the months ahead.
