XRP has had a rough few months. After reaching a high of around $3.66 in mid-2025, the token has since retreated sharply, recently hovering around $1.30. Either way, that’s a steep drop.

But one widely followed crypto commentator isn’t shying away from making a bold call for the long term — and his argument rests entirely on what he sees on the charts.
A graph that points higher, much higher
The analyst, known on X as CryptoBull, posted a monthly note XRP/USD chart showing what he described as a multi-year consolidation pattern, followed by another breakout attempt heading into 2026.
His conclusion was blunt: a move to $50 seems a “natural and normal” extension of the current structure. “Regardless of your feelings,” he wrote, “The graph says $50.”
Based on reports, CryptoBull has been building this case for a while, and the $50 figure doesn’t come out of the blue – it falls squarely within the $28 to $70 target band he previously set using a higher timeframe analysis.

At current prices, a run to $50 would mean a gain of more than 3,500%. That’s a big number. But CryptoBull has been consistent push back against the even wilder numbers circulating in XRP circles.
He has publicly rejected price targets of $1,000 or $10,000, calling them unsupported by any credible chart structure. By his own standards, $50 is the measured, reasonable call.
For context, an XRP price of $28 would put the total market value close to $1.7 trillion. At $70, that figure rises to over $4 trillion. Extreme? Yes. But far more grounded than the hundreds of trillions of valuations implied by some of the more bizarre targets floating around online.
History as a reference point
CryptoBull has also pointed to XRP’s own track record to support its thesis. Reports say he reminded his followers that XRP once rose 3,500% – from $0.11 all the way to $3.65 in a single market cycle.

Based on that, he suggested that a 2,000% increase from current levels towards $28 in this cycle is plausible. A move to $50 would exceed even that and move closer to 3,500% – roughly matching the scale of that previous historical run.
$XRP‘s measured move target above $15 remains unchanged!

Other analysts have expressed a similarly constructive view. Javon Marks has maintained that his measured price target above $15 remains unchanged, citing the same late-2024 breakout structure that CryptoBull is referring to.
