XForceGlobal predicts XRP rally to US$20 despite crypto downturn
7th April 2025 – (Seoul) A South Korean financial analyst operating under the pseudonym XForceGlobal has sparked controversy with a bullish forecast for XRP, claiming the cryptocurrency could surge to between US$10 and US$20 in the coming months—despite its current valuation of US$1.93 and broader market turbulence. The prediction, rooted in technical analysis, faces scepticism from industry experts questioning its feasibility.
XRP has demonstrated relative resilience compared to peers during the recent crypto slump. While its price has dipped 5% over the past fortnight, this decline pales against steeper losses in major tokens: Ethereum has shed over 40% in three months, with Solana and Dogecoin facing similar pressures. XForceGlobal, a self-described Certified Elliott Wave Analyst, highlighted XRP’s ability to hold above recent lows while rivals plunged 45–65% from peaks, citing this stability as justification for his optimism.
The forecast hinges on Elliott Wave theory, a technical framework analysing recurring market patterns. XForceGlobal identifies a five-wave cycle suggesting XRP could reach US$20 – US$40 by late 2025 or early 2026. Critics, however, dismiss such targets as implausible. “These figures defy near-term realism,” remarked one Hong Kong-based strategist, requesting anonymity.
Notably, trading interest in XRP appears undeterred by market uncertainty. Data from CoinGlass reveals open interest—a measure of outstanding derivatives contracts—has climbed to US$3.60 billion, signalling heightened speculative activity. “Traders are positioning irrespective of price direction, suggesting divided sentiment,” observed a London crypto analyst.
When pressed on timing, XForceGlobal offered no concrete timeline but doubled down on his conviction, vowing to “have the last laugh” over detractors. His confidence contrasts sharply with XRP’s anaemic year-to-date performance, which has erased nearly all gains since January 2025.
