Expert Analyst Predicts XRP Price to Hit $121 This Bull Cycle
Amonyx, a popular analyst posted on X to his 100K followers his take on what XRP price could do next. In his analysis, Amonyx showed how Ripple price is nearing the end of a 6.8-year downtrend and a breakout could trigger a volatile rally.
The expert also takes cues from the 2017 bull run. In this cycle Ripple price shot up 110,466% from $0.003 to $3.31 after four-year consolidation. Considering the 6.8-year downtrend that has been persistent since then, Amonyx hints that a similar uptrend could ensue for Ripple and could propel XRP to $121.
For XRP to reach this target of $121, it would need to inflate by 22,730% from the current price of $0.530.
With the short-term outlook bearish, investors need to be patient to get better buying opportunities. Furthermore, Bitcoin also looks ready to slide lower after a failed attempt to push through the $64K hurdle. From a long-term perspective, however, the bullish scenario is preserved unless BTC fails to hold $55K.
