Market experts say to buy XRP before the price explodes to $1,000.

A recent analysis from BarriC – considered one of the most influential voices in the XRP investment community – indicates that the current price of XRP is opening up a rare investment opportunity. With the trading price around 2.35 USD, he calls this a "deal not to miss out."

BarriC asserts that any price below 3 USD presents great value for those with foresight. In his latest series of posts on social media, he did not hesitate to urge: "Buy as much as possible while the opportunity still exists." According to his assessment, the current price does not yet reflect the true growth potential that XRP could achieve in the next market cycle.

XRP has increased by 350% – Is it undervalued?

In the past 12 months, XRP has impressively grown by 350%, outperforming many other major altcoins on the market. However, many investors remain cautious, believing that this upward trend is still "not fast enough" – especially when the coin has yet to break through the 3 USD threshold, a level considered an important psychological barrier.

But with BarriC, the picture is completely different. This analyst believes that the price below 3 USD is the ideal accumulation zone, opening up opportunities for early investors before XRP enters a true explosive phase. According to him, the market is undervaluing the long-term potential of XRP – and that is the reason to take action right now.

Based on technical analysis and market sentiment, BarriC makes a bold prediction: XRP could hit the 10 USD mark in the next rally, before aiming for 20 USD in the coming months. If this happens, the increase from the current price could reach nearly 700% – a dream profit for early investors. However, BarriC warns of a potential strong correction after the rally. Upon reaching 20 USD, XRP could drop by about 50%, returning to the 5–10 USD range. Nevertheless, he believes this will be the second opportunity to buy before the coin moves further.

EGRAG CRYPTO analyst also has a similar bullish view, stating that XRP has the opportunity to replicate the "explosive" growth seen in 2017 and could reach 27 USD in just about 60 days.

XRP once rose from a level of 0.0055 USD in March 2017 to nearly 0.4 USD in just two months. After this strong increase, the token's price cooled down for about the next 6 months.

Similarly, in the current cycle, XRP has also maintained a low level around 0.5 USD for most of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. However, right after the US elections in November 2024, the coin surged nearly 600%, from 0.50 USD to 3.40 USD within just the first two months of 2025. Currently, XRP shows signs of consolidating after the surge, forming an almost "replica" pattern of history from eight years ago.

If XRP continues to follow the last bullish cycle that occurred in October 2017, we may be preparing to witness a new price explosion. In October 2017, XRP took only about 63 days to surge and set a new all-time high. If repeated, this coin could achieve an impressive growth of up to 1,700% in just two months, equivalent to a price of 27 USD.

EGRAG CRYPTO asserts that before reaching the major target of 27 USD, XRP will successively go through three important price zones based on Fibonacci extension levels. The first mark is 8.49 USD (Fib 1.272), followed by 13.79 USD (Fib 1.414). Finally, if XRP truly replicates the strong second wave similar to 2017 — corresponding to an increase of 1,772% — then this coin could peak near 27 USD.

Although the expectation of XRP rising to this price in just 60 days is quite ambitious and somewhat exaggerated, if history repeats itself, then that scenario is entirely plausible. EGRAG CRYPTO also advises traders to gradually take profits instead of waiting for the highest peak.

Long-term goal: 1,000 USD?

BarriC's vision is not limited to the current altcoin cycle but also expands into an ambitious long-term perspective. He predicts that within the next 10 years, if major banks and the global payment system begin to actively use XRP as the primary remittance tool, the value of each token could reach 1,000 USD.

In this scenario, the market capitalization of XRP will reach a staggering 58 trillion USD — a figure that could rival the pillars of the current global financial system. BarriC emphasizes that the fact that XRP is still trading below 3 USD indicates that the market has not truly reflected the actual potential of the coin, as "banks have not officially started using XRP." When that day comes, everything may be completely different.

Technical signals: Adjustment or accumulation?

Currently, XRP is trading around 2.35 USD, above the (EMA) 21-week moving average, which is currently at about 2.19 USD. This is an important support level that XRP needs to maintain to uphold the bullish trend.

If the price drops below the 21-week EMA line, bullish strength may weaken, allowing the bears to take control. At that point, XRP could be pushed down to a lower support zone.

So far, only about 1,380 contracts have been traded, equivalent to a volume of approximately 35.8 million USD, compared to the market capitalization of over 137.6 billion USD of XRP. This indicates that the XRP futures market is still in its early stages and has significant growth potential in the future.

In the past 30 days, XRP has had 13 trading days in the green, with a volatility of about 5.1%. This reflects a divergence in investors' views: some are preparing for a big bounce, while others are more cautious, waiting for clearer signals.

Although XRP has recorded significant growth over the past year, its potential practical applications remain an uncharted mystery. Investors are closely monitoring every move of Ripple, especially in its efforts to expand partnerships with banks and global payment networks – a key factor that could shape the future of this token.

If BarriC's bold predictions come true, then the price below 3 USD today could be remembered as a "golden moment" to accumulate before XRP enters a new explosive phase. However, like any investment in the cryptocurrency market, risk always accompanies expectation – and the final decision still depends on each investor's risk tolerance.

XRP under 3 USD – is it the bottom or a trap? The answer will gradually reveal itself in the coming months.
