Pump.fun’s PUMP Token Peaks Then Plummets—Is the Party Over?

A popular XRP proponent recently projected a clear path for XRP to reach 
$1,000. Particularly, crypto commentator BarriC laid out a multi-stage price 
forecast that places the XRP price on a trajectory toward $1,000. The 
statement, posted on the social media platform X, follows XRP&#8217;s recent surge 
to a new all-time high for the first time since 2018. Expert Predicts Multi- 
Stage XRP Price Explosion XRP has been on an interesting price run since the 
beginning of the month, which kicked off when it broke out of its long-term 
consolidation below $2.2 on July 5. This was followed by a string of inflows 
alongside the rest of the crypto market as Bitcoin pushed to new price 
territories above $120,000. Related Reading: XRP To $13 in 40 Days? Analyst 
Predicts Explosive Final Rally However, although Bitcoin peaked at $122,800 on 
July 14 and has since entered a corrective phase below $120,000, the altcoin 
has managed to keep up its gains in the days after July 14. This detachment 
from Bitcoin’s momentum started after the SEC&#8217;s approval of ProShares’ XRP 
ETFs, which has contributed to the crypto asset&#8217;s push to a new all-time high 
of $3.65 in the past 24 hours and its market cap breaking the $200 billion 
threshold. Interestingly, XRP&#8217;s price is now trading in unknown territory, and 
the next price target for bulls is $4. BarriC&#8217;s post begins with a near-term 
target of $4 for XRP, which many bullish analysts have been watching closely 
for weeks. From there, BarriC anticipates a rapid expansion into double 
digits, forecasting a range between $10 and $20. Although the projection did 
not come with a technical analysis of XRP&#8217;s price action, the outlook that 
truly captures attention is his final projection: a “clear path” that leads 
XRP beyond the $100 mark and ultimately to a $1,000 valuation. $1,000 XRP: 
Path Or Pipe Dream? The notion of XRP reaching $1,000 has been discussed in 
the past but remains a controversial subject. To achieve a price point in the 
triple digits, its market capitalization would need to exceed $50 trillion, 
more than double the value of the most valuable public companies in the world 
combined. Central to BarriC’s prediction of a $1,000 XRP price is based on the 
belief that its utility in cross-border payments and banking infrastructure 
will drive its long-term value. A $1,000 XRP becomes realistic only when mass 
institutional adoption from banks turns transactional demand into structural 
demand. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Just Hit A Fresh ATH Above $10 
Billion, Will Price Follow Next? On the other hand, price targets like $10 and 
$100 in the coming years are still realistic based on the current fundamentals 
of the altcoin and the XRP Ledger. The first step is a break above $4, which 
can only be possible if XRP manages to secure $3 as its new base price going 
forward. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.44, up by 22% in the 
past seven days. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
