A warning has emerged that ultra-high price forecasts surrounding XRP (Ripple) could instead trap investors in dangerous expectations.

According to cryptocurrency specialized media Bitcoinist on April 29 (local time), crypto analyst ChartNerd pointed out that extreme forecasts suggesting XRP could rise to $1,000, $18,000, or even $25,000 are more dangerous and unrealistic than predictions of a fall below $1.

XRP is currently trading at $1.39, more than 60% below its all-time high of $3.65 recorded in July 2025. ChartNerd explained that this doesn't mean XRP cannot rise, but rather that some forecasts deviate excessively from the reality shown by charts and circulating supply.

He expressed concern over the spread of claims such as XRP could reach $1,000 if it repeats the 2017 bull run, or that a price above $1,000 is necessary for increased institutional adoption, and even a $25,000 forecast based on prophetic claims. The point is that bullish sentiment itself is not the problem, but rather expectations detached from reality can cloud investment judgment.

Conversely, it was also explained that bearish forecasts are at least based on past price trends. ChartNerd analyzed that based on the Gaussian Channel, XRP has returned to its lower regression band during every bear market. If this pattern repeats, the low point of this cycle could form in the $0.70 to $0.91 range.

However, the media also pointed out that XRP's fundamentals are stronger than ever. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) enforcement action against Ripple has ended, institutional investors are buying through XRP spot ETFs, and Ripple is expanding its presence in financial infrastructure. Nevertheless, former Ripple CTO David Schwartz also mentioned that there isn't enough logic yet to justify a $100 price.
