XRP Price Could Grow 15x Amidst ‘Quiet Stocks:’ Analyst

Cointelegraph


XRP (XRP) could rally 10x–15x from the “quiet stock” zone, says analyst Crypto Patel, muted price action in 2018. He said it would be similar to stability before it arrives in late 2024.

Main Receptors:

XRP's lack of retail tokens could lead to a rally to $5, $10 and $15 targets. XRP's current $1.00–$0.70 demand zone is similar to the 2022–2024 base, ahead of the 835% rally.

The lack of retail token shows that XRP has risen to $15

In his post on Sunday, Patel highlighted the $1.00–$0.70 range as a long-term accumulation zone, arguing that XRP's muted sentiment and lack of retail tokens could precede further upside.

His chart shows XRP pulling back after failing to break the $3.20–$3.50 resistance area, with the price now heading towards a green demand zone that he sees as a “big opportunity”.

If XRP repeats its 2022–2024 cycle-type expansion, it shows 10x–15x potential from the lower end of its bullish range.

That comparison is Patel's bully case.

In the previous cycle, XRP spent months building a base around $0.32–$0.40 before breaking above its multi-year downtrend line around $0.55–0.60 in November 2024.

The gap also cleared the broader $0.65–$0.85 resistance band on the chart with a blue signal, followed by an 835% rally to $0.40 over the next two months.

The Transparency Act could push XRP into a multi-year bull market.

In the year The rally at the end of 2024 had a clear fundamental trigger.

The election of Donald Trump as US President in November 2024 has boosted appetite in crypto markets as traders see the incoming administration as more supportive of digital assets than the previous administration.

In the year In 2026, a similar potential stimulus is coming up in the Senate with an amended CLARITY Act.

The bill aims to create a clearer US market-structuring framework for crypto by distinguishing when digital assets fall under securities or commodities rules.

Jason Yanowitz, co-host of the Empire podcast at Blockwork, said XRP could be in for a multi-year bull market if the Clarity Act is enacted as altcoins.

Analyst Michael van de Pop said his personal crypto portfolio will remain “fully allocated to altcoins”.

XRP Network Benchmarks See Highest One-Day Growth Since March

On-chain data adds another layer to XRP's bullish setup, indicating that its recent rally has coincided with a rapid regrouping in network activity.

On Saturday, the XRP Ledger recorded its strongest 24-hour activity levels since March, with 48,453 active addresses, the highest since March 30, and 3,317 new addresses, the highest since March 19.

“Higher adoption will help ensure a higher price,” Santiment wrote, noting that the surge in activity could support XRP's “mid-to-long-term price growth” if sustained.

Earlier this week, the XRP network saw an increase in the number of whale wallets, with Santiment noting that they are hoarding tokens at record levels.

A recent decline near the upper trendline suggests that bulls still lack momentum to warrant a breakout.

If XRP breaks below the lower trend line of the triangle, the setup could reverse the bearer and open the door to measure towards the $1.00–$1.10 support area, which would represent a roughly 20% drop from current prices.
