Some XRP watchers are not waiting for a dip below $1. They are looking the other way — toward $17. Related Reading: XRP Faces No Immediate Quantum Threat As Only 0.03% Supply Seen At Risk: Analyst The Pattern Behind The Price Target Market analyst Javon Marks has mapped out a long-term bull case for XRP using a measured move — a method that takes the size of a past rally and projects the same distance from a new breakout point. His chart points to a price target of $16.39, which would represent a gain of more than 1,100% from current levels. That works out to roughly a 12x increase. The setup goes back years.

Market expert Sam Daodu has released a new April outlook for Bitcoin (BTC), flagging geopolitical developments and macroeconomic forces as the decisive factors for where prices may go next.  Daodu’s note comes after Bitcoin ran into resistance just above roughly $72,000 and amid a market environment that has produced the asset’s first consecutive quarterly losses since 2022. Bitcoin Faces Unusual April Daodu pointed to Bitcoin’s historical tendency to finish April in the black: since 2013, the token has closed the month higher nine times out of 13, a 69% win rate.  On paper, April looks generous — the average return sits at 10.7% — but that mean is skewed by a handful of outsized years (2013, 2018, 2019, and 2020), each with gains above 28%.
