XRP Price Eyes $10 Despite Crypto Market FUD, Buy The Dips?

XRP price has struggled for a while amid the crypto market FUD (Fear, Unrest and Doubt) and is flirting with $1.3. The overall market sentiment around the Ripple coin has turned negative recently with a bearish bias. However, market experts believe that XRP is setting up the base for a larger rally ahead, similar to that in 2017.

XRP Price Eyes Relief Rally Despite Strong Bearish Sentiment

Blockchain analytics firm Santiment reported bearish sentiment surrounding XRP has reached one of its highest levels in the past two years. It noted that this signals a low-risk entry point for investors.

According to Santiment’s weekly social data, fear, uncertainty, and doubt around XRP currently rank as the third-highest level recorded over the past two years. In the past, similar spikes in negative sentiment coincided with growing chances of relief rallies.

The analytics firm noted that market prices often move opposite to crowd expectations. As bullish sentiment fades and bearish commentary rises, conditions may form for a potential price rebound.

Santiment also highlighted that retail investors appear to be losing confidence after XRP declined 63 percent over the past nine months. However, such bearish sentiment often triggers a relief rally going ahead.

XRP Price Can See Final Dip Before the Rally

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez said that XRP price may be preparing for a major bull run as it continues to trade within a long-term technical pattern. According to Martinez, XRP has been forming a large ascending triangle on the monthly chart for nearly nine years. Since 2017, XRP has repeatedly tested upper resistance levels before retracing toward a rising trendline support.

Following the recent rejection in August 2025, Martinez said he is watching for a potential retest of macro support between $0.75 and $0.80. He described this range as a potential buy-the-dip zone ahead of a possible breakout.

But Martinez is hopeful that in the next two years, XRP price will eventually break out from the long-term consolidation patterns. He emphasized that patience remains key as XRP approaches the apex of the nine-year formation.

Can Ripple Coin Price See A Mega Rally Ahead?

Market experts have been waiting for a Ripple coin price rally similar to that in 2017. Many experts have given predictions of $10 and beyond for the cryptocurrency.

Dom Kwok and the Kwok brothers expressed strong long-term optimism for XRP price. In a mega bullish prediction, they suggested that the asset could reach $1,000 within four to five years, citing expanding adoption and evolving use cases.

The analysts stated that XRP could first surpass the $10 level, with the potential for significantly larger gains over time. While critics argue that such valuations would imply a $50 trillion to $100 trillion market capitalization.

Dom Kwok also said the XRP investment thesis is evolving beyond the earlier narrative of SWIFT replacement. He emphasized that the XRP Ledger is increasingly positioned to support a wide range of financial applications.
