Let’s examine what top crypto analysts think about the feasibility of the next XRP price boom.

Santiment: Rising FUD Could Be a Contrarian XRP Buy Signal

Onchain analytics platform Santiment reports a surge in negative sentiment toward XRP across social media, its highest since US tariff tensions began six months ago.

Historically, Santiment’s data shows that when the bullish-to-bearish ratio drops below 1.0, indicating crowd fear, XRP tends to rebound.

For instance, the ratio on Oct. 4–6 fell to 0.74–0.86, marking what Santiment calls a “reliable buy zone.”

The platform concludes that growing community impatience and skepticism could actually foreshadow a bullish reversal, as markets often move opposite to prevailing retail expectations.

Matthew Dixon: Elliott Wave Signals Impulsive XRP Breakout Ahead

Veteran market analyst Matthew Dixon believes XRP is on the verge of an impulsive rally following a short-term consolidation phase.

His Elliott Wave count suggests the token has completed a multimonth corrective structure (ABCDE) and is now preparing for a fifth-wave advance.

Dixon highlights the circled region near $3.00 as a temporary pause before an upside continuation, potentially leading XRP toward new all-time highs.

Such setups historically precede “great buying opportunities,” the analyst argues, noting that the momentum typically shifts from correction to expansion within the wave cycle.

Ali Martinez: Key Breakout Level at $3.15

Crypto trader Ali Martinez (@ali_charts) identifies $3.15 as XRP’s key breakout threshold, highlighting a series of horizontal resistance zones with a projected upside target of $3.60.

A confirmed move above $3.15, he argues, could trigger renewed momentum toward that level, completing a mid-term bullish structure visible on the four-hour time frame.

Ali emphasizes that XRP has repeatedly tested this region since early October, suggesting growing buyer pressure. For traders, a decisive candle close above this mark would likely validate the next bullish leg.

Chart Nerd: Bull Flag Points to $5.30 Target

Technical analyst Chart Nerd projects a much larger rally ahead, pointing to a bull flag formation on XRP’s weekly chart.

The setup shows the token consolidating between parallel trendlines after a steep rally from June through August.

A breakout from the flag’s upper boundary, measured using the 1.618 Fibonacci extension, places the next major target near $5.30—a roughly 75% upside from current prices.

Chart Nerd notes that confirmation is still pending, but calls the structure “textbook bullish,” suggesting XRP could be entering the final leg of its broader five-wave advance.
