XRP rose like a comet in early May, but its current performance has brought some disappointment. While Bitcoin (BTC) is setting new records, we see that XRP has shown a slight decline over the past week. But is there reason to worry? According to analyst Amonyx, there is absolutely no reason. In fact, he sees great potential for XRP to rise towards an impressive target of $20. But what underpins his optimism?
Amonyx bases its view on the Elliott Wave theory, a popular analysis method that maps market cycles based on investor behavior and emotions. This theory assumes that financial assets move in a pattern of five consecutive waves: three bullish (waves 1, 3, and 5) and two corrective (waves 2 and 4). According to Amonyx, XRP is currently in the fifth wave, the phase in which we often see a final, powerful price increase before a larger correction follows.
Remember: “Every bad fall is just a prelude to new heights!”
The previous major rally, or wave three, is now behind us. It took place between November and January, shortly after Trump’s victory in the US presidential election. During that period, XRP nearly rose to a new all-time high (ATH), followed by a major correction of over 50%, characteristic of wave four within the Elliott Wave pattern.
To determine how high this fifth wave could reach, Amonyx uses the Fibonacci retracement method. This technique helps to estimate possible support and resistance levels. Based on his analysis, he stipulates two 'realistic' price targets: around $8,44 and, in the most optimistic scenario, even a peak of $27,23.
These price levels would represent an increase of 251% and a whopping 1.039% respectively. Although Amonyx is convinced, the question must be asked whether such an extreme increase is feasible. After all, a price of over $27 would result in a market capitalization of approximately $1,6 trillion. This brings XRP remarkably close to the current value of Bitcoin, which is listed at around $2,2 trillion.
It’s an exciting time in the world of crypto. Stay connected, follow the developments and who knows, you might be in for a wonderful surprise!
