$XRP is once again in focus as year-end sentiment remains far more bearish than most expected. After weeks of trading below the $2 mark, price recently dipped toward 1.77 before attempting a mild recovery.
Since peaking near 3.66 in July, XRP has been in a steady decline for roughly six months, shedding over 50% of its value. During that summer rally, expectations were extremely high. Some analysts floated aggressive targets like $50, while more cautious projections pointed toward the 5–10 range. None of those scenarios played out, and the year is now closing without those milestones being reached.
As a result, many market watchers are revisiting their outlooks and adjusting timelines rather than price targets alone. The discussion has shifted from if XRP can reach higher levels to when it realistically might.
Updated outlook for XRP reaching $10:
Analysts at Changelly suggest that XRP could reach the $10 level around August 2029. This aligns closely with projections shared earlier by Bitwise in a report aimed at institutional investors. Under a bullish scenario, Bitwise estimated XRP could trade near 10.20 by 2029, while an ultra-bull case placed potential highs closer to 13 by 2028.
Telegain analysts share a similar view, forecasting an average price around 10.29 by 2028. From current levels near 1.9, that would still represent a gain of more than 400%, though on a much longer and more realistic timeline.
