XRP News Today: XRP's Quiet Build-Up Could Mirror Amazon's 3,900% Rise

XRP has once again become a focal point of speculation, with analysts drawing comparisons to Amazon's historic price trajectory and forecasting potential price surges in both the short and long term. According to popular crypto analyst Nick Anderson, XRP's recent price action mirrors Amazon's pre-boom behavior, where the stock remained stagnant for nearly a decade before a massive rally. Anderson highlighted that AMZN's consolidation period ended in 2010 with a breakout in a cup-and-handle pattern, leading to a 3,900% increase over 15 years. He suggests that XRP, currently in a similar consolidation phase, could follow a similar pattern. At the time of the analysis, XRP was trading around $2.75, and Anderson speculated it could reach $100 to $200 over years, assuming the right conditions are met [1].

Supporting this bullish narrative, another expert, Paul Barron, emphasized potential catalysts that could accelerate XRP’s growth. He outlined a scenario involving spot crypto ETF approvals, progress on a market structure bill in Congress, Ripple securing banking licenses, and new major partnerships. In this favorable environment, Barron suggested that XRP could rise to "upwards of $50 and above," with some forecasts even hinting at a triple-digit target [2]. The analyst also noted that even a 50% correction from such a level would still leave the token at a significantly higher valuation compared to current levels.

Digital asset strategist Zach Rector, a 90% XRP portfolio holder, echoed the optimism but with caution. He warned of increased volatility, stating that the market should be prepared for significant swings. Rector emphasized that while profit-taking and corrections are inevitable, the key for XRP is establishing a new price floor in double digits, which would fundamentally shift the token’s market perception [2]. His analysis aligns with broader sentiment that XRP is more than a speculative play; for many long-term holders, it represents a strategic investment with transformative potential.

Further technical analysis from CrediBULL reinforced the possibility of XRP outperforming Ethereum in the near term. The analyst pointed to bullish divergences on the XRP/ETH chart and noted that after a three-month correction, the pair is positioned in a major demand zone. CrediBULL also highlighted XRP’s nine-month consolidation period above its all-time high as a sign of accumulation, while Ethereum, having recently broken its ATH, may be due for a consolidation phase. This divergence in timing suggests XRP could be on the verge of a breakout as Ethereum takes a breather [4].

As of the latest data, XRP was trading at $2.83, up 0.94% over the past 24 hours, and had regained the position of the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization [1]. To reach the $100 target, XRP would need to grow by 3,433%, and to hit $200, by 6,967%. While these targets are ambitious, the combination of favorable regulatory developments, strategic partnerships, and growing institutional interest may provide the necessary tailwinds for XRP to make meaningful progress.
