XRP has endured a difficult stretch in recent days, falling below the $2 level after a sequence of heavy selling. Price volatility across Bitcoin and other major assets added fuel to the drop, dragging XRP to lows around $1.92 and shaking the short-term sentiment of many traders.
However, several XRP supporters are still of the notion that this move is far from a cause for concern. One of the most vocal is an analyst operating under the name @WillyWonkaXRP on the social media platform X, who insisted that the dip does not alter the long-term trajectory. From his perspective, the current environment is still laying the foundation for a far higher valuation due to institutional takeovers.
Crash Below $2 Is Not A Problem
The analyst’s evaluation is based on the outlook that XRP is transitioning into a more structurally mature phase, highlighted by regulation, banking partnerships, and expanding utility. He pointed to recent approvals that removed long-standing legal uncertainties and to the growth of Ripple’s enterprise network, which now boasts more than 300 banking partners in over 40 countries.
The analyst also highlighted the rollout of Ripple’s Liquidity Hub, the expansion of the RLUSD stablecoin, and the rising expectations for additional Spot XRP ETFs. In his view, these developments show that large-scale institutional integration is happening quietly beneath the short-term market noise, making the recent dip to $1.92 insignificant relative to a longer-term path he believes stretches well beyond $20.
Speaking of price action, the XRP price fell to as low as $1.88 on November 21, according to CoinGecko. The chart accompanying the analyst’s post illustrates a long multi-year structure in which XRP repeatedly formed broad accumulation ranges before breaking above resistance. The pattern displayed across years shows several failed attempts at the same horizontal ceiling before eventually giving way.
The current price action now puts XRP retesting from above. The pullback to the region around $2 corresponds almost exactly with this retest zone, which shows that the price is returning to confirm support rather than a breakdown of the larger trend.
What Would It Take For XRP To Reach $20?
An XRP price rally to $20 would require a combination of technical follow-through and continued institutional participation. With the current circulating supply hovering around 60 billion tokens, a clean run to $20 would lift XRP’s market capitalization to about US $1.2 trillion.
Technically, XRP would need to maintain its hold above $2.00, as this level now serves as the anchor for any long-term bullish trajectory. Fundamentally, increased ETF inflows, growth of RLUSD, and greater adoption of RippleNet by global financial institutions would strengthen demand for XRP and create the needed buying pressure.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.07, up by 2.4% in the past 24 hours.
