- Analyst JD forecasts a possible 10-fold XRP increase by August due to bullish technical indicators.
- JD compares current XRP market setup to the 2017 bull run, but notes market cap limits massive gains.
- XRP’s price surge potential is capped at 10-fold, with $6 being a more realistic target than past highs.
The XRP community is currently abuzz with excitement due to a recent analysis by JD, a well-regarded cryptocurrency analyst on X. JD’s insights focus on the upcoming monthly close for XRP and the potential for a bullish cross-confirmation in August, leading to discussions about significant price movements reminiscent of past bullish trends.
JD’s analysis highlights the importance of the current market setup for XRP, noting that the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI (Stoch RSI), and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) are all forming bullish crosses.
Historically, similar technical patterns have led to substantial price increases for XRP. JD references the 2017 bull run, during which XRP experienced a remarkable 600-fold increase in one year, reaching its all-time high of $3.84 when these indicators aligned.
While the prospect of XRP recreating the 2017 rally excites many in the community, JD tempers expectations by acknowledging that current market conditions differ significantly from past instances.
Responding to a query about the feasibility of another 600-fold increase, JD explains that the market cap was much lower during previous bull runs, making such gains possible. In today’s market, he suggests a 10-fold increase is more realistic.
JD points out that the current market cap is higher than during previous bull runs, which limits the possibility of massive gains like the 600-fold increase experienced in the past.
If XRP surged by 600 times from its current price of $0.6072, it would climb to $377.70, implying a market cap of over $21.13 trillion. This price is nearly ten times the entire cryptocurrency market’s market cap, which many experts deem unfeasible.
A user pointed out that the current bull market is different from past ones because of factors like exchange-traded funds (ETFs). However, this user thinks XRP will not see a big increase and believes the chance to make a profit from XRP is gone.
JD noted that although XRP may not climb 600-fold in this bull run, a 10-fold increase is possible. He reminded the community that he had predicted multiple XRP rallies recently, giving users who follow him 4 to 33-fold surges.
