XRP Price Predictions Are Unrealistic, Analyst Warns: Reveals ‘Realistic’ Targets

In a YouTube video, Matt Lutch, a channel with more than 9,000 subscribers, speaks against many unrealistic and extreme price predictions for Ripple's XRP token.

A popular Ripple (XRP) analyst is revealing his “realistic” price targets for the Remittance Token and why he believes XRP will not reach triple-digit prices this bull cycle.

The crypto YouTuber, known as Matt Lutch, boasts over 9,000 subscribers on his channel. In his latest video, he discusses the unrealistic price predictions for XRP, offering his perspective on the token’s potential growth.

There have been a wide range of XRP price predictions, with some analysts projecting a rise from the single digits to as high as $10,000 per coin. However, these extreme forecasts can lead to false hopes among investors.

The analyst shares his personal experience with unrealistic predictions, revealing that during the last bull cycle, he purchased Celsius (CEL) after encountering projections of the token reaching $250. This experience, according to the YouTuber, taught him the risks involved in buying into overly optimistic price targets without conducting his own research.

The analyst also highlights that many crypto YouTubers are primarily focused on increasing their views, subscribers, and engagement rather than providing accurate information to their audience.

As XRP is one of the most searched cryptocurrencies, it becomes a prime target for exaggerated content.

Two major factors are impacting the price of XRP, according to the video. The ongoing SEC case against XRP is seen as a suppressive force on its price, which could’ve been higher in the last bull cycle without this legal issue.

On Thursday, the SEC canceled a closed-door meeting, and rumors quickly spread that the gathering was to discuss Ripple.

The second factor is XRP’s large market capitalization, which makes it difficult for the token to experience a significant price increase. The video explains that moving from a $30 billion to a $300 billion market cap would require immense volume, making it highly improbable.

Instead of the lofty $100 prediction, the analyst suggests a more realistic target of 5-10x the current price, which would put XRP in the triple-digit range. This projection considers XRP’s historical performance, where it failed to surpass its 2017 all-time high of over $2 during the 2021 bull run.

The analyst compares XRP to other popular cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL), which he believes have similar growth potentials in the 5-10x range.

The video concludes with a warning against falling for unrealistic price predictions and urges viewers to question the motivations behind such claims and conduct their own research.
