XRP, the digital asset, faced a significant setback today as its price dropped below the $0.5 level for the first time in two months. The decline saw XRP plummet to $0.4936, marking a 7.18% loss from its previous price of $0.5318.
This decline in XRP’s price mirrored the performance of Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, which fell from nearly $69,000 to $65,521 on Friday. However, the crypto market is already showing signs of recovery, with XRP currently trading at $0.5140 as Bitcoin surges back to around the $67,000 level.
It is worth noting that the price movements of XRP and Bitcoin are closely intertwined, highlighting Bitcoin’s influence on XRP’s price action. Analyst Egrag, a well-known figure in the XRP community, recently provided potential price targets for XRP based on Bitcoin’s bullish trajectory.
Egrag’s analysis suggests that if Bitcoin reclaims the $70,000 level, XRP could experience a significant surge of 2,234%, reaching a price of $12. This projection is more substantial than the projected 5% increase for Bitcoin.
Egrag’s ambitious target for XRP is largely influenced by the potential breakout above the 0.000010 level in the XRP/BTC pair. In previous cycles, breaking this level has triggered strong upward movements, and Egrag anticipates a similar breakout this time. Currently, XRP/BTC is at 0.00000767 BTC, showing a 1.86% increase, with XRP holding the advantage.
Furthermore, Egrag predicts even higher levels for XRP if Bitcoin reaches the coveted $100,000 price point. In this scenario, XRP could trade as high as $17. If Bitcoin advances further to $130,000, Egrag believes XRP’s price would rise to $22.
The most ambitious target mentioned in Egrag’s analysis is $200,000 for Bitcoin. If this level is reached, representing a 200% increase from its current level, Egrag expects XRP to trade at $34. This would mark an astonishing 6,515% increase from its current price.
