In spite of the fact that XRP barely rallied above its 2018 all-time high (ATH) during the 2024/2025 crypto bull run, pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst Crypto Captain expects the token to reach $210 before the end of 2026.
As XRP retests its breakout above a multi-week falling logarithmic resistance line, as of October 20, Crypto Captain believes it is well positioned to experience a parabolic bull rally over the next 72 days and reach a target of $210.
The analyst based this bullish outlook on a possible macro megaphone structure, which has been forming since early 2024.
As a result, Crypto Captain anticipates XRP price to face its first major resistance level at around $26, before a continuation rally towards $210 before the end of this year.
With the token’s price trading at $1.31 at the time of reporting, this crypto expert indicates a possible 15,940% upside before the end of 2026.
XRP fundamentals analysis
XRP has signaled a renewed bullish sentiment following relentless demand from institutional investors. At the time of publication, U.S. XRP spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have attracted roughly $591.11 million in cumulative cash inflows over the last 7 consecutive months, hence holding $1.48 billion according to data Finbold retrieved from SoSoValue.
With Ripple Labs driving mainstream institutional adoption of XRP, following a key court ruling that established the token is not a security, bullish momentum could continue.
Token’s price performance on Tuesday
Even though XRP saw its price rebound on Tuesday, its 24-hour average trading volume fell over 12% to $1.62 billion, based on metrics from CoinMarketCap.
Assuming Ripple releases an additional 600 million tokens over the next two months, continuing its 2026 dilution path, the asset’s circulating supply would reach roughly 63.72 billion. Based on this trajectory, the analyst projects the token’s market capitalization could approach $13.38 trillion by year-end.
