Who Made This Claim?

The theory is shared by XRPunkie, describing a chart projecting a 600% surge for XRP in the next bullish wave. The post as seen above highlights an Elliott Wave count suggesting XRP could mirror its previous +600% rally which was seen between Nov 2024 and Jan 2025. To reach its new all-time high between $13 and $15 in Wave III.

Coinpedia’s Key Findings and Counter-Evidence

1. Elliott Wave Is Pattern-Based, Not an Evidence of Proof?

The Elliott Wave framework is widely acknowledged but also subjective. While Wave 3 is generally the strongest, successful execution depends on the correct wave count and ideal market conditions. Many analysts debate XRP’s current wave positioning.

2. XRP Faces Roadblock Near $2.35

Technical indicators show that XRP is testing resistance near $2.35, with the Bollinger Band upper bound and RSI at 56.73, nearing its overbought territory. We believe that this short-term upside may be limited unless backed by a high-volume breakout.

3. Market Conditions Turn Back for Altcoin Explosions

  • BTC dominance stands at 64.5%, overshadowing altcoin growth.
  • Altcoin season index is only 25/100, showing weak alt momentum.
  • The Fear & Greed index is neutral at 50, lacking emotional sentiments that often trigger large rallies.

4. On-Chain Metrics Improving, But Far from a Bull Drive

Active addresses on the 90 day time frame and exchange outflows show a modest uptick, suggesting accumulation but not a full-blown demand surge. Volume rose 76.73% in 24 hours, which is positive but not unprecedented.

Summary Table: Claim vs Coinpedia’s Evidence

Strong fundamentals will ignite Wave 3Fundamentals help, but don’t guarantee price spikes
Breakout from consolidation is bullishBreakouts need volume + momentum to sustain big moves

Conclusion

The theory that XRP could hit $13–$15 based on Wave 3 projections is plausible but highly speculative. While XRP’s strong fundamentals, recent ETF approval, and sidechain launch support bullish sentiment, technical and macro factors do not yet confirm the conditions needed for a 600% rally.

We would suggest investors to watch for a breakout above $2.50 with rising volume and signs of altcoin dominance before considering this theory for purchases.
