XRP owners experienced a rollercoaster ride last week as the cryptocurrency fought to remain above the $2 level. The altcoin, which recently exchanged hands at $2.13, fell by almost 20% between April 5 and 7, touching a five-month low of $1.78. However, the token soon regained its ground with a 15% jump the next day, reclaiming the $2 region – although it still struggles to maintain this position.
Market Analyst Unfazed By Volatility
Technical analyst Cryptominder remains unfazed by recent price swings, boldly declaring he’s buying XRP at today’s prices. Though certain experts foresee levels between $12 and $15, Cryptominder has put forward an ambitious goal of $50 by 2030. This prediction is a whopping 2,330% climb from today’s levels around $2.06, with annual growth of over 80% for the next half-decade.
This growth rate is within reach, says Cryptominder, citing last year’s 230% price appreciation of XRP as proof. The analyst went as far as to say that market observers would look back at his call with acknowledgment in the future.
In 5 years from now $XRP will be over 50$ price. Today is the day you will remember. You will say to your friends that we never believed in XRP when it was 0.09$ we never believed at 0.35$ we never believed at 2$. I buy this XRP you are not. I bought at these prices!

Skeptics Reminded Of Previous Missed Opportunities
Cryptominder targeted risk-averse investors who are reluctant to purchase at $2. He compared it to the same sentiment during the time when XRP only cost $0.09 in May 2017 and then subsequently at $0.35. Both prices eventually realized significant returns for investors who purchased in, he asserted.
The analyst pointed to his own experience purchasing at these lower levels, and indicated that the current $2 level might provide similar potential for expansion. This pattern in the past is the foundation for his lofty $50 target.
Other Analysts Share Similar Optimism
Cryptominder is not alone in being bullish. Following reports, Amonyx said last August XRP would beat $10 before hitting $50, stating “no one could stop the momentum.” More recently, Edoardo Farina intimated that investors would kick themselves for failing to buy if and when XRP hits $50, so far even making a suggestion on the potential at $100.
#XRP will quickly go above $10+ and then above $50+, there is nothing you can do about it.

Some market experts seem to support these estimates, predicting a high price of $48 for XRP by 2030 – similarly close to Cryptominder’s estimate. However, other analysts provide a more cautious timeline, estimating that XRP will not hit the $50 mark until 2033.
Price Performance Shows Recent Recovery Efforts
The recent price action indicates XRP making efforts to stabilize following its steep decline. Having recently retreated to $1.78, the altcoin was able to recover and drive back above $2, albeit holding on to this level has not been easy. Market observers point out that even with these challenges, bears have yet to fully take over the price action.
Based on price charts, XRP must set stronger support higher than the $2 psychological mark in order to gain momentum towards any future expansion. The fact that the token managed to bounce back by 14.33% in a single day reflects the potential for sudden movements in either direction and illustrates the extremely volatile nature of cryptocurrency markets.
