It surpassed numerous alternative coins in the process, becoming the third-largest digital asset with a market cap of $180 billion at press time as its price has retraced slightly to $3.13.What’s particularly compelling about its price movements is the fact that it has remained predominantly above $2 ever since it broke above that level on December 1. Popular XRP commentator JackTheRippler outlined this milestone, indicating that the asset has “never been so long in the $2-$3 range in its entire history.” As such, they predicted an upcoming major breakout should this consolidation end soon.The price of #XRP has never been so long in the $2-$3 range in its entire history!XRP is currently preparing for a major breakout. pic.twitter.com/e5NAOPJl25— JackTheRippler ©️ (@RippleXrpie) January 30, 2025Fellow analyst Altcoin Sherpa also weighed in on the recent price actions, saying that “dino coin price action” such as XRP andLTCis a “sight to behold.” On the other hand, Alexander Lorenzo told his 30K X followers that he is “about to go all in on XRP.”$4.5 or $14?The XRP Army has long been known for highly bullish comments and beliefs even when the asset’s price seemed stuck for years below $1 after the 2017/2018 bull market, especially following the SEC’s lawsuit against the company behind the cross-border token.STEPH IS CRYPTO, a digital asset commentator with over 40,000 followers, provided two such optimistic price predictions for XRP.
