XRP Could Need Five Macro Cycles To Break $100, Analyst Says

XRP may need as many as five macro cycles to push beyond $100, according to a chart shared by analyst TARA, known on X as @PrecisionTrade3, who outlined a long-range roadmap that places the token’s first nine-figure milestone far beyond the current market structure. In the post, TARA said the projection was built around price targets rather than a calendar. “Keep in mind that I measured for price only, NOT time. I used only the textbook/conservative targets and as the cycles develop, each of these targets will be adjusted with the actuals,” the analyst wrote. “This is how many MACRO cycles it could take before XRP breaks $100. Many waves, many corrections, many years.” The Projected Path Above $100 For XRP The chart (12-month XRP/USDT Binance pair) maps out a staircase of cycle tops beginning with a completed Cycle 1 target at $3.65. From there, the model points to roughly $8.68 for Cycle 2, about $22.50 for Cycle 3, nearly $59 for Cycle 4, and around $153 for Cycle 5. On that framework, XRP does not clear $100 until the fifth major leg higher.

One commenter asked whether failing to reach $8 yet means the market is still in Cycle 2 and could therefore need “20 years plus” to reach triple digits. TARA did not commit to a precise window but suggested the path could still be lengthy at the present pace. “Yea maybe 10 years at the current rate… hard to tell… and of course SO many factors can accelerate these cycles. Price targets would remain though- it would just move through the cycle much faster.” The thread also made clear that the analyst is not calling for a straight-line move higher. When asked whether XRP could go directly from the $8.68 area to the $22.50 region, TARA said a correction would still be required, adding that a conservative retracement back toward roughly $3.65 should be expected. In a follow-up, the analyst said “2 major corrections should be expected otw to $22,” reinforcing the idea that the projected path is sequential and structurally messy, not parabolic.

In an earlier March 9 post, TARA said XRP was still stuck between two levels already being tracked, with the .618 at $1.47 acting as resistance and the .5 level at $1.33 serving as support that needed to break lower to complete the rest of the fifth wave. The analyst said the “plan has not changed,” and that the .786 support at $0.87 was still expected before XRP “takes off for Wave 3.” That bearish intermediate setup remained intact in later replies. Asked whether XRP could still drop to $0.87 before printing new all-time highs, TARA answered yes, while noting one condition that could briefly extend the upside first. “Watching this closely now bc its trying to break above $1.47,” the analyst wrote. “If it does, and depending on BTC targeting $75.4k-$79k, it could push XRP as high as the $1.88 level and then still back down to $.87.” The same reply thread put the next major resistance at $1.88 on Binance, which TARA said roughly equates to $2.02 on Coinbase because of exchange-level pricing discrepancies. On momentum, the analyst added that Bitcoin looked set to test $75,400 soon, but said XRP’s RSI was not “breaking out,” a sign, in that reading, that the move still looked corrective rather than the start of a new trend. At press time, XRP traded at $1.50. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
