XRP has opened the year on a firm footing, reversing the bearish momentum that 
carried it through the closing weeks of last year. Interestingly, one 
strategist is already pushing the conversation far beyond near-term targets. 
In a recent post on the social media platform X, BarriC outlined a 
psychological roadmap that explains how XRP could eventually trade at $100 per 
coin. This roadmap is built around how investor attitudes start to change as 
XRP reaches different price levels, which will gradually turn disbelief into C 
and urgency. Complacency At $2 To Quiet Regret Above $10 BarriC’s model starts 
with what he described as a dangerous sense of comfort at the lower end of 
XRP’s price range. Around $2 per XRP, most people assume they will always have 
access to cheap tokens, which removes any urgency to act. This attitude is 
evident in XRP’s current price action, with the cryptocurrency trading around 
$2.25 and slowly grinding higher. Related Reading: Here’s What Ripple Haters 
Get Wrong And Why XRP Is Set To Explode BarriC projected that even as the XRP 
price moves back toward $3, a successful reclaim of that level will still fail 
to generate excitement, because XRP is still seen as ordinary and easy to 
obtain. That same mindset, according to the strategist, will carry through to 
$5, where skepticism will start to take over. At that stage, critics begin 
questioning why XRP is only at $5 if it is truly expected to play a meaningful 
role in the future of global finance. However, BarriC believes the psychology 
will start to change once XRP pushes into double-digit territory, although not 
yet fully. Even if XRP is trading in the $10 to $20 range, most investors will 
not suddenly rush in but are still more likely to feel a subtle sense of 
regret mixed with resignation. This is where many convince themselves that XRP 
has likely reached its peak and that they have already missed the opportunity. 
BarriC describes this phase as one where people comfort themselves with the 
idea that at least it wasn’t a move to $100. Why $100 Becomes The Emotional 
Breaking Point According to BarriC, the fear of missing out is what will 
ultimately push the price of XRP into triple-digit territory. In his view, 
once XRP reaches $100, the disbelief will collapse and will be replaced by 
frustration and urgency, especially among investors who had long accepted the 
idea that such prices were impossible. Related Reading: XRP Price At $100 Is A 
liquidity Event Number, What This Means However, that will force latecomers to 
chase XRP at prices up to fifty times higher than its current price of $2. He 
extended this logic further by explaining that above $100, buying pressure 
would no longer be based on excitement alone. At $1,000 per XRP, the 
motivation will turn into desperation. His most extreme projection is a 
$10,000 XRP. This is a point of resignation, where investors fully grasp how 
severely they underestimated XRP&#8217;s long-term importance and the scale of the 
opportunity they once dismissed. Featured image from Freepik, chart from
