XRP Will Explode—And This Korean Expert Says He’ll Be ‘Laughing’ At Critics

A Korean financial analyst who uses the name XForceGlobal has made bold claims about XRP’s future price, stating the cryptocurrency could reach between $10 and $20 in the coming months.

The confident prediction comes even as XRP currently trades at $2.07 and the broader cryptocurrency market struggles through a prolonged downtrend.

While XRP has dropped more than 5% over the past few weeks, this decline is significantly less severe than what other major cryptocurrencies have experienced.

According to the report, top cryptocurrencies like Ethereum have fallen by over 40% in the last three months. Similar sharp drops have hit other popular coins such as Solana and Dogecoin.

XForceGlobal, who describes himself as a Certified Elliott Wave Analyst, pointed out that XRP has maintained its position above recent lows while competing cryptocurrencies have plummeted between 45% and 65% from their peaks. This relative stability forms the foundation of his optimistic outlook.

I agree 100%, this is just showing that the possibility being there is just telling us how XRP is in its own league even for just wave counts!

The analyst’s forecast is based greatly on Elliott Wave theory, a technical analysis technique which tries to predict market action by finding repeating wave patterns. On the basis of his recognition of a 5-wave pattern, XForceGlobal has consistently predicted that XRP will hit $20 to $40 this year or next.

Many market observers remain skeptical of such ambitious price targets. For XRP to reach $10, it would need to surge over 370% from its current price. A move to $20 would require an even more dramatic 850% increase.

At such prices, XRP’s market capitalization would be around $1 trillion at the $10 level and $2 trillion at $20. Such valuations would be a first for an alternative currency and are the reasons why many analysts believe such forecasts are unrealistic, at least in the short term.

In spite of the continued argument regarding the future of XRP, statistics by CoinGlass indicate increasing interest in the cryptocurrency.

Open interest on XRP trades has risen to $3.60 billion over the past few days, reports indicate. This increase indicates that traders are opening positions in the asset irrespective of the direction of the market.

I will be laughing at everyone who said $XRP can never hit $10-20.

When asked for the timeline of his price forecast, XForceGlobal was not as definite, indicating that it may take a while before XRP gets to the forecasted $10-20 mark.

Nevertheless, the analyst was confident enough with his technical analysis to assert he would “be laughing at everyone” who are skeptical about XRP’s ability to hit these price levels.

With XRP’s year-to-date gains dwindling to mere 0.80%, wiping out all gains since the beginning of 2025, the question is if XForceGlobal’s lofty predictions will materialize or become part of the long list of failed cryptocurrency price projections.
