Casi Trades, a widely followed $XRP technical analyst, is urging investors to rethink their expectations for the asset’s long-term price ceiling.

She argues that the market may be underestimating $XRP’s potential after nearly a decade of development.

Casi made the remarks during a recent podcast appearance alongside $XRP commentator Tara. The discussion centered on long-term price expectations and potential buying opportunities.

Key Points

Top $XRP analyst Casi Trades urges investors to rethink $6 as the asset’s long-term ceiling.
Casi and Tara discuss accumulation zones, noting $0.87–$0.93 could trigger buying interest.
$XRP trades at $1.42, up 3%; Casi suggests $6.50 would require a 358% price surge.
Ripple’s $4B expansion and institutional adoption fuel optimism for $XRP’s long-term growth.

‘Raise Your Targets’

“Imagine $XRP waited eight years just to stop at $6… raise your targets,” Casi wrote on X. She suggested that such a ‘modest’ price level would not reflect the scale of developments surrounding the asset.

The analyst joked that after years of volatility and patience from investors, a peak around $6 or even $6.50 would hardly justify the long wait many holders have endured.

Per CoinMarketCap, $XRP last established an all-time high in January 2018 at $3.84. Despite several bull markets over the near-decade journey, the coin continues to trade under $3.84.

The Next $XRP Accumulation Zones

During the discussion, the analysts also talked about possible price levels where they might accumulate more $XRP.

Casi indicated that if the asset were to fall toward $0.87, it would likely trigger buying interest. Meanwhile, Tara noted that she had buy orders placed slightly higher, around $0.93, suggesting that some traders still see more dips in the pipeline for $XRP.

However, both commentators also expressed doubt that $XRP would revisit those lower levels again, implying that the market structure could be shifting toward higher price floors.

Notably, $XRP is trading at $1.42 today, up 3%. A $6.50 price, as Casi suggested, would require a 358% price surge — a level that has proven formidable for $XRP in recent times.

Long-Term Outlook Remains a Divisive Topic

The comments come as debate continues within the $XRP community about how high the asset could ultimately climb and how long the journey may take.

Some analysts argue that current price levels still underestimate the scale of changes happening within global finance.

For example, crypto commentator 24hrscrypto1 recently claimed that anything below $10 for $XRP is “extremely undervalued,” pointing to the massive volumes processed daily in the global payments industry.

At financial conferences such as Sibos, executives from major banks have highlighted that institutions move trillions of dollars every day across hundreds of currencies and countries.

Given this scale, the push toward faster and more efficient settlement systems continues to grow. This trend could eventually benefit blockchain-based networks designed for cross-border payments, such as $XRP, supporters believe.

Ripple’s Expansion Fuels Bullish Expectations

Optimism around $XRP’s long-term valuation has also been reinforced by Ripple’s expansion strategy. Over the past year, the company has invested $4 billion in building financial infrastructure to bridge traditional finance and blockchain systems.

Acquisitions have included firms focused on institutional liquidity, treasury management, stablecoin payments, and wallet infrastructure.

Supporters argue that these investments signal ambitions far beyond modest $XRP price targets. Some commentators believe Ripple’s multibillion-dollar expansion would make little sense if the asset’s long-term valuation remained near current levels.
