XRP has had a rough few months. After reaching a high of around $3.66 in mid-2025, the token has since retreated sharply and recently settled at around $1.30. This is a drastic reduction by any measure.

But one widely followed crypto commentator isn’t backing down from a bold long call — and his argument rests entirely on what he sees on the charts.
A chart showing higher and higher
The analyst, known at X as CryptoBull, has published a monthly chart of XRP/USD showing what he describes as a multi-year consolidation pattern, followed by a new breakout attempt towards 2026.
His conclusion was clear: a move to $50 looks like a “natural and normal” extension of the current structure. “Regardless of your feelings,” he wrote, “the chart says $50.”
According to reports, CryptoBull has been making this case for a long time, and the $50 figure didn’t come out of thin air – it falls squarely within the $28 to $70 target range it previously set using higher-term analysis.

At current prices, a run to $50 would mean a gain of over 3,500%. This is a big number. But CryptoBull was persistent to push back against the even wilder numbers circulating in XRP circles.
He publicly rejects $1,000 or $10,000 price targets, not backing them up with any reliable chart structure. By its standards, $50 is a measured and reasonable call.
For context, XRP’s $28 price puts its total market cap at close to $1.7 trillion. At $70, that number rises to over $4 trillion. Extreme? Yes. But it’s much more reasonable than the hundreds of trillions worth of some weird targets floating around the internet.
History as a reference point
CryptoBull also pointed to XRP’s own record to support its thesis. Reports say he reminded his followers that XRP once surged 3,500% — from $0.11 to $3.65 in one market session.

Using this as a basis, he suggested that a 2,000% extension from current levels to $28 would be acceptable during this period. A move to $50 would actually be more than that, moving closer to the 3,500% range – roughly matching the scale of previous historical periods.

Other analysts have expressed a similar constructive view. Citing the same 2024 breakout structure that CryptoBull cites, Young Marks stated that his measured price target of $15 remains unchanged.
Elliott Wave Korean analyst XForceGlobal also weighed in and said that the XRP chart looks strong after revisiting its previous high zone and fully returning to the $1 square – he believes that a recovery may occur before a strong upward move.
