XRP at $25,000?...Analyst warns "more dangerous than optimism"

▲ XRP

A warning has been issued that ultra-high price predictions surrounding XRP could cloud investor judgment. Crypto analyst ChartNerd pointed out that predictions that XRP could rise to $100, $1,000, $18,000, or even $25,000 could be more dangerous than optimism if they diverge from reality.

Crypto media outlet Bitcoinist reported on April 29 (local time) that ChartNerd raised strong concerns about the extreme price targets circulating in the XRP community. ChartNerd did not mean that XRP cannot rise, but rather saw it as a problem that some predictions significantly deviate from the realistic range shown by charts and circulating supply.

He specifically noted that the prediction of XRP reaching $1,000 has been repeated for years but has not materialized. The problem is not bullish sentiment itself, but that it can trap investors in false expectations when separated from actual market structures. Recently, arguments have emerged that XRP could reach $1,000 if it repeats the 2017 bull run, that institutional use requires XRP to be above $1,000, and discussions citing $25,000 based on prophetic grounds.

ChartNerd, on the other hand, believes that the bearish argument that XRP could fall below $1 is more grounded in historical data. He stated that based on the Gaussian channel, XRP has returned to the lower regression band in every past bear market, and mentioned the possibility of the current cycle's low forming in the $0.70 to $0.91 range.

However, the original text also pointed out that XRP's fundamental environment has become stronger than in the past. It explained that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s enforcement action against Ripple has ended, institutional investors are buying through XRP spot ETFs, and Ripple is continuing its efforts to expand XRP's position in the financial sector.

However, the key is that such positive news does not guarantee XRP's extreme price targets. David Schwartz, former CTO of Ripple, has also expressed the view that there is not yet sufficient logic to support an XRP price prediction of $100. This analysis is interpreted as a warning to XRP investors that realistic price structures and data-driven judgments should take precedence over upward expectations.
