Analyst Outlines Longevity And Bold $200 Target

According to reports from Egrag Crypto, a statistical model now being applied to XRP points to a wide range of possible outcomes — from a modest climb to an extreme rally.

The coin is trading near $2.86 and has fallen about 2% over the past week, which the firm says sits it near an important junction on a long-term trend line.

Let’s check these numbers: a monthly linear regression plotted on a logarithmic scale, with an R-squared of 0.847. That figure is being used to argue that the model explains roughly 80% of past price movement.

Monthly Regression Model On Log Scale

Egrag’s model is statistical and simple in form, but it is plotted in a way traders often use to read long-term cycles. According to Egrag, XRP has touched the upper limit of that regression channel on three separate occasions, and those past touches inform the present forecast.

The chart below is based on the monthly time frame and reflects our analysis of hits, misses, and overshoots using linear regression on a log scale. This analysis is grounded in a 2-standard deviation model.

In one cycle, XRP overshot the channel by 570% during the 2017–2018 run. In contrast, the 2021 peak landed about 45% below the same boundary.

Those past outcomes are being translated into three possible paths for the current phase: a standard hit to $27; a repeat of the 2021 shortfall to about $18; or an extreme overshoot that would push the price toward $200.

Three Potential Price Paths

The math makes the scale of those options clear. Moving from $2.86 to $18 would mean a rise of about 530%. A leap to $200 would imply a gain of roughly 6,890%. At $200, XRP’s market capitalization would sit near $12 trillion under current supply assumptions; a $27 level would imply a market cap north of $1.6 trillion.

Those headline numbers have prompted sharp pushback online, with critics calling the most ambitious forecasts unrealistic given current adoption and liquidity conditions.

Crypto Expert’s View Placed In Context

Meanwhile, market observers have pointed to XRP’s unusual longevity. Vandell Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, reminded readers that XRP traded around $0.00589 in August 2013 and still ranks among the larger tokens today at about $2.78 in recent posts.

XRP traded at just $0.00589 in August 2013.
10 years later, still a top-10 asset at $2.78.

Most tokens die within a cycle.
This kind of resilience doesn’t happen by accident.

Assets that survive this long don’t disappear, they usually compound. That’s called staying power.

Reports of that long track record are being used to argue that XRP has a level of staying power many other projects lack. That history does not prove future gains, but it does add a practical footnote when weighing bold forecasts against plain skepticism.

Possible Outcomes And Market Reality

The range from $18 to $200 captures both conservative and extreme views. Based on the regression, EGRAG treats the mid and lower outcomes as the more likely of the three, while the $200 case is cast as a best-case overshoot that would depend on factors far beyond the model itself.
