Leading altcoin XRP dipped to the $1.75 level on Friday, displaying weak sentiments in the charts. The broader cryptocurrency market is in the red with Bitcoin falling to the $82,000 range. Around $1.75 billion worth of long positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours, with Bitcoin accounting for $770 million.

However, just as the cryptocurrency market dipped, pundits are out making bold price predictions. While $3 and $4 forecasts are the new normal, five-digit price surges are selling out quickly. Crypto pundit BarriC took to X, claiming that XRP could kick-start a rally and reach $10,000.

XRP: Can It Surge That High?

XRP RIpple US Dollar Source: BarronsIn the cryptocurrency market, there’s magic in numbers, and numbers are magic. Anything can happen when traders least expect the outcome; the market throws unbelievable results. However, XRP to $10,000 seems a bit sketchy and is a bit of a stretch.

A value that high is not foreseeable, both in the short-term and long-term. While Ripple’s IPO is in the making, a believable price target stands at $4 to $5. The altcoin hitting $10,000 is an ambitious yet larger-than-life price prediction.

However, pundits can explain what they want; it’s their right. But it is equally important for investors to do their due diligence. It is not fair enough to blindly go by their words and invest one’s hard-earned money. XRP had a phenomenal rally in 2025 as it generated stellar returns up until July 2025.

XRP had reached an all-time high of $3.65 after nearly seven years of staying in limbo. It now needs to double in price again to reclaim its lost turf. Sliding down the charts is easy, as it takes just a few hours, but climbing up takes years. Only those who are in it for the long term are advised to take an entry position in Ripple’s native token.
