Macro analyst and trader Mikybull believes XRP could be one of the next major altcoins to mirror Zcash’s explosive performance
XRP Set to Replicate ZEC’s Breakout
According to Mikybull, XRP is among the crypto assets likely to follow Zcash’s parabolic run. The economist outlined a conservative outlook that places a short-term target for XRP between $8 and $10. Notably, this range implies a 3x to 4x increase from current levels.
Zcash’s Rally Sets a Blueprint
The renewed interest in XRP comes after Zcash delivered one of the most remarkable rallies of the cycle. Beginning at $40 in September, ZEC surged to $750 in two months—an 18x increase that lifted its market cap from $600 million to over $10 billion.
ZEC briefly faced a correction on Friday, dipping below $500, but it is now back at $633, looking to continue its bull run.
Notably, ZEC’s rise occurred while Bitcoin declined from $126,000 to below $100,000. This marked a major decoupling and independent run from Bitcoin’s direction.
Mikybull believes this same decoupling effect could apply to XRP, especially as it maintains a long-term bullish structure on higher timeframes and continues gaining institutional recognition.
Mikybull XRP chartXRP has demonstrated it can move sharply in compressed time frames. Specifically, from November 2024 to January 2025, XRP surged from $0.50 to $3.34, a 568% rally. Analysts believe similar momentum could return if capital rotates heavily into payment tokens and large-cap utility assets.
While $8–$10 remains “conservative” in Mikybull’s view, it also leaves room for more aggressive long-term scenarios should XRP replicate even a fraction of Zcash’s 1,775% breakout profile.
“No, XRP Is Over”
He believes XRP has reached its peak momentum, especially as major news headlines over the past weeks have failed to impact the price.
Notably, XRP has seen a price growth from $0.49 to $3.66 over the past year. While some believe the best days are gone, others insist even better days are ahead.
