XRP Lags Behind Bitcoin Surge but Eyes Major Breakout Ahead

XRP Lags Behind Bitcoin Surge but Eyes Major Breakout Ahead

While Bitcoin continues to dominate headlines after hitting a record high of $111,861, not all altcoins are keeping pace.

Among the underperformers is XRP, which has seen only modest gains in comparison—even as investor interest in the broader crypto market intensifies.

Currently trading around $2.47, XRP has climbed around 3% in the past 24 hours, showing relative sluggishness despite its solid performance over the past year. The token has jumped from a low of $0.39 to a high of $3.39 in that period, reflecting growing long-term momentum even if short-term price action remains tepid.

Still, XRP remains below its all-time high of $3.84, needing over a 36% increase to return to its peak. But market analysts and community forecasts suggest that a sharper rally may be on the horizon.

Looking ahead to mid-2027, speculative models anticipate that XRP could break out, potentially reaching highs of $7.34 with an average price of $6.46 over the July–August period. That projection represents a 200%+ gain from current levels—an outcome that would likely reinvigorate investor enthusiasm and solidify XRP’s role as a top-performing asset in the next crypto cycle.

Despite being overshadowed by Bitcoin’s meteoric rise, XRP may still have its moment. Patience, for now, appears to be the strategy as eyes turn to what the next market phase could bring.
