The XRP price has now managed to position itself above the $0.6 psychological level, as the entire crypto market waddles in bullish action in the past month. Popular crypto analyst Dark Defender has predicted an interesting price point for XRP, revealing that the crypto could reach $14.61 if the XRP/BTC pair reaches a record high.  

Dark Defender’s recent analysis of XRP’s price trajectory is based on its past performance against Bitcoin on the XRP/BTC pair. A deep dive into the XRP/BTC chart shared on X by the analyst reveals that XRP has been underperforming against Bitcoin since the middle of 2023. XRP has been down 60% against Bitcoin since August 2023. Recent market dynamics have further exacerbated its underperformance against Bitcoin, as Bitcoin continues to push against various price levels to reach a new all-time high.

Interestingly, Dark Defender noted that the price action of the pair has now reached a support which will determine XRP’s price trajectory in the coming months. The so-called support has the characteristics of the formation of higher lows since 2015 and is now at the 0.00000914 level.

The price chart noted a bounce over this support to usher in an incoming breakout of epic proportions to the current high of 0.00024351. The last time a bounce happened, XRP would go on to overperform Bitcoin by over 5,000% throughout 2017 and early 2018. “It will be the awakening of 6 years,” the analyst said.

When asked for an XRP price point, Dark Defender clarified that the XRP/BTC pair increases only when XRP appreciates against BTC. In the scenario that BTC starts to perambulate around the $60,000 price level, a surge in the XRP/BTC to the 0.00024351 level would relate to XRP reaching $14.61. In the scenario that Bitcoin reaches $100,000 and sticks around this price level, XRP could trade for over $20 with the same all-time high on the XRP/BTC pair. 

With XRP now trading at $0.6205, a surge to $14.61 and $20 would mean an increase of 2,250% and 3,120%, respectively, from the current price level. 

Other crypto analysts have predicted bullish price points for XRP in the near future. For example, Crypto analyst Jaydee highlighted XRP breaking out of a six-year trendline which could mean a further move to the upside.

In another technical analysis using the Elliott Waves theory, Dark Defender predicted XRP to reach $1 in March, a level that it hasn’t attained since May 2021.
