XRP Faces Short-Term Correction Amidst Bullish Long-Term Projections to $50; Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana Show Weakness
XRP has experienced a 23% decline over the past month, with analysts suggesting its correction may not be complete, potentially retesting the $2.05 level. Despite a brief surge following a partnership announcement with Mastercard, the price quickly retraced, reinforcing a bearish short-term outlook supported by RSI divergence. However, a contrasting view from other analysts projects an explosive long-term uptrend, with XRP potentially reaching new all-time highs of $10, $25, or even an ambitious $50, implying a 2,155% increase. Meanwhile, other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are also exhibiting signs of weakness, with Ethereum specifically needing to reclaim a key level to avoid dropping to $1,700.
Over the past month, the XRP price has experienced a significant decline, with its price dropping by 23% amid mounting selling pressure following the crypto market crash on October 10. Some analysts are now suggesting that the altcoin’s correction is not yet complete.
A Retest Of Key Fibonacci Level On The Horizon Market expert Casi Trades recently shared insights on social media site X (formerly Twitter), indicating that enthusiasm surrounding the recent partnership announcement with Mastercard may have been premature. During the Ripple Swell 2025 event in New York, the company unveiled a new collaboration with Mastercard, WebBank, and crypto exchange Gemini to test its RLUSD stablecoin as a means of settling credit card transactions.

However, this surge was short-lived, and the price quickly retraced. It maintained its trajectory below the previous Fibonacci Wave 1 low, as seen in the chart below.
Casi Trades noted that this price rejection reinforces the belief that the Wave 3 low at $2.05 has not been adequately tested. She anticipates that the XRP price will likely trend downward toward this Fibonacci level to complete the subwave 5 of Wave 3.
Additionally, the relative strength index (RSI) supports this bearish outlook, indicating a divergence at the recent price high and suggesting a retest of the lower trendline is imminent. XRP Price Poised For An Explosive 2,155% Increase?
Despite the current bearish sentiment, some analysts maintain bullish projections for the XRP price. Egrag Crypto recently remarked that the ongoing price formation resembles a range rather than a straightforward ascending wedge or rectangle.
Based on measured moves, projections suggest that the altcoin could reach a new all-time high around $10. If this is indeed Macro Wave 2, the anticipated Wave 3 could be 1.618 times the length of Wave 1, potentially placing targets between $14 and $25.

However, Egrag countered these discussions, noting that the altcoin could also reach the $50 “wick” observed on the Gemini crypto exchange.
While some believe the Binance wick to $0.77 must be filled, Egrag argues that ignoring the potential for XRP to hit $50 is a mistake, especially if market symmetry comes into play.
The analyst concluded his thesis by stating that this cycle could see the XRP price reaching that $50 level as the market undergoes its “final blow-off phase.” This would imply a major 2,155% uptrend ahead for the altcoin’s price.
When writing, XRP trades at $2.22, still recording gains of 318% year-to-date, according to CoinGecko data. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
