As one of the top-performing digital assets in the 4Q of 2024, it’s only natural that Ripple’s XRP attracts attention from its detractors and bullish supporters. The bearish sentiment has been wearing down the asset in the last few weeks, pushing the altcoin to as low as $1.96 last March 11th, the lowest in its three-month chart.
XRP has been highly volatile this month, trading between $2.30 and $2.47, still down by 1.6% from its previous month’s price.
The sentiment is still bearish, but for some crypto analysts like Captain, XRP is set to increase, with $100 as its realistic target. Egrag Crypto, on the other hand, offers a more conservative estimate, saying that XRP can reach double digits this cycle.

Analyst Sets $100 As ‘Realistic’ Target
In a recent Twitter/X post, XRP Captain (@UniverseTwenty) shared that $100 is Ripple’s realistic target this cycle. The post has now received dozens of replies, but it leaves more questions than answers. For example, the crypto analyst failed to identify the timeframe for this surge or the factors or events that can trigger this surge.
XRP Captain’s latest tweet comes just as Egrag Crypto (@egragcrypto) added his thoughts on the coin’s direction. In the Twitter/X thread, Egrag Crypto boldly claims that XRP will hit double digits this cycle and surge to triple digits next.

To justify his predictions for the short term, Egrag Crypto used his “Just Do It” chart. He explained that the measured wave or cup pattern movement has formed within the arc, then added that the potential to this movement is $13.
Will XRP Break Past $300?
Ripple has a few bullish supporters right now, with crypto commentator Dark Defender adding his thoughts on the asset’s latest performance. According to Dark Defender, XRP can surge to $333 if it duplicates its impressive performance during the 2017 bull run.
Dark Defender’s arguments and predictions for XRP received plenty of criticism. Some argue that XRP will not achieve this market price due to its market cap. Based on the current circulating tokens, XRP’s market cap will hit $1.6 trillion if its price just hits $280. Dark Defender shot down this argument and added that a crypto market cap doesn’t matter and is “just an illusion.”

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
