Top Analyst Says XRP Conservative Target Is $8.4, Optimistic Target Is $48, Considers XRP Currently Undervalued

Analyst Ali Martinez has issued a massively bullish forecast for XRP, having found significant reasons to believe XRP remains undervalued at its current price.

Martinez, a prominent market watcher who rarely comments on XRP price action, shared his newfound optimism about XRP in a Sunday analysis on X. He pointed out the growing skepticism about XRP’s uptrend, which has already lasted for about five weeks.

XRP Undervalued Can Still Pump by 1,840%

Specifically, Martinez mentioned that some analysts consider XRP overbought, having surged by 485% from $0.49 to $2.87 within the last five weeks. However, in his view, XRP remains largely undervalued. His perspective is influenced by XRP’s recent breakthrough of a seven-year downtrend that had kept its price low since 2018.

With XRP breaking out of this pattern, Martinez issued bold price targets for the asset conservatively and optimistically.

For his conservative projection, he expects XRP to hit $8.40. Notably, XRP is currently trading at $2.48, meaning it would require an additional 240% growth to reach this level.

Other analysts have echoed the sentiment that $8 is attainable for XRP, especially considering its 5x surge in 30 days. However, some argue that $8 is too conservative for XRP.

Meanwhile, Martinez has a much bolder outlook. In the most optimistic scenario, he believes XRP could reach a price of $48.12. This projection suggests massive 1,840% gains for XRP from its current position.

XRP Market Position at $48

Notably, a $48 price for XRP would elevate its market cap to $2.75 trillion, which exceeds the current valuation of Bitcoin.

Considering the gap between Bitcoin and XRP, this implies that Bitcoin could have a market cap of around $4.6 trillion in this scenario, corresponding to a BTC price of above $230K—a level many consider realistic for this cycle for the premier asset.

Critics Disagree with XRP $48 Outlook

However, there is major skepticism among critics in the crypto community regarding XRP attaining a $2.75 trillion market cap or reaching a price of $48 in this cycle. Even pro-XRP analysts have voiced these concerns.

For instance, commenting on Martinez’s post, analyst JayDee noted that while he is massively bullish on XRP, he does not see the lofty $48 target being reached this cycle, pointing out that the likelihood is low.

Others have dismissed it as both comical and delusional, suggesting a maximum peak of $10 for XRP.

Nonetheless, some community members remain ambitious, calling for even higher XRP prices. At the same time, other commentators caution that such optimism could lead to regrets, as it may result in holding bags for several more years before another bull run for XRP emerges.
