Popular cryptocurrency expert TARA has published a five-cycle cycle Fibonacci roadmap for XRP on X, predicting that the price of the cryptocurrency will eventually exceed $100 in the long run.
The projections, based on the 0.618 extension targets applied to the 12-month XRP candlestick chart, show a sequence of increasingly higher cycle highs, each separated by corrections and extended periods of accumulation, culminating in a Cycle 5 high at $153.
Macro targets for XRP
TARE the projection framework begins with a price that is already established history. Cycle 1, which she considered complete, brought a high of $3.65. This refers to the current all-time high for XRP recorded in July 2025. This confirmed high is the anchor of the entire projection. Each subsequent cyclical target is determined using the Fibonacci extension methodology applied to the XRP price structure over a longer time horizon.
The next three cycles create a bridge between the current price of XRP and the psychologically significant $100 threshold. TARA predicts a Cycle 2 high to peak near $8.68, applying a Fibonacci extension of 0.618 to the range established in Cycle 1. After Cycle 3, the projected high is around $22.50, and Cycle 4 extends the same Fibonacci sequence at 0.618 to a peak near $59.
When will Altcoin reach $100?
The most noteworthy result of the projection is where the $100 level appears. According to the analyst, XRP will not reach triple digits in the next one or two cycles. Instead, the milestone doesn’t occur until Cycle 5, where the projected peak is $153.
There is no specific timeline for when XRP may cross $100. The analysis focuses solely on price developments over macrocycles, ignoring any time-based forecasts. The analyst also explained that any upward move would be followed by pullbacks, describing the journey as involving multiple waves, repeated corrections and a period of several years.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $1.52 and the $153 price target represents an upside of over 10,000% from today. However, predictions for XRP to break above $100 they are not novel among cryptocurrency analysts. Or rather, an idea has been circulating for months. Some predictions were truly extreme, with one analyst even claiming that XRP could reach $100 before Bitcoin rises to $1 million.
On the other side of the debate, several market commentators have strongly rejected the $100 price projection. Some cryptocurrency participants pointed to the scale of inflows required for XRP to reach $100, noting that it would mean a multi-trillion-dollar market capitalization that dwarfs the world’s largest companies. Even Ripple’s CTO publicly expressed doubts on the probability of XRP reaching $100 in the near future.
