XRP is back in the green, trading around $2.24 after a solid 24-hour jump. With multiple XRP ETFs rolling out and millions of dollars flowing in, excitement in the community has picked up again. That excitement, however, has also brought back the same old predictions, claiming that XRP is gearing up for a run straight to $100.
But analysts say the math simply doesn’t support that fantasy.
Why the $100 Narrative Falls Apart
Crypto analyst Zach Humphries didn’t sugarcoat his view. He said he loves XRP as much as anyone, but the idea of it hitting $100 next month is “delusional.” For XRP to reach that level, the asset would need a market cap of $6 trillion. That’s more than double the size of the entire crypto market today, and there are only about 35 days left in the year.
Even so, he made it clear he believes XRP’s long-term future is strong.
Still at a Make-or-Break Moment
XRP has been mostly stable over the last 24 hours, which isn’t surprising. Yesterday, there were early signs that the market might show a bit more bearish pressure, and it did see some weakness on the lower timeframes.
Even with the slowdown, XRP still looks healthy on the bigger charts. A small dip into $2.14–$2.12 is more realistic, and even a quick spike into $2.06 wouldn’t be surprising. But from those levels, a recovery is expected.
What Happens After the Dip
As long as the broader market stays steady, XRP still has room to move higher. The next major upside targets are:
- Around $2.41
- Possibly $2.51 if momentum picks up again
