Analyst Says XRP Will Have a ‘Fast, Unexpected, and Unforgiving’ Moment

A notable market analyst has suggested that XRP will have its own moment, but he insists that only a certain category of people will take advantage of it.

This commentary came from Coach JV, a well-known finance coach, amid the ongoing market struggles that have kept XRP below the $3 psychological price level. For context, XRP relinquished the $3 mark on Sept. 23 on the back of a broader market downtrend and has since failed to recover the region despite a mild rebound push across the market.

This suggestion builds on the common sentiment that XRP tends to lag when the broader market recovers. However, once it chooses to follow suit, its uptick is typically more brutal, sharper, and more explosive, allowing it to catch up and overtake the broader market.

Notably, this pattern played out during the 2017/2018 bull market run. Specifically, while the rest of the market recovered at the start of 2017, XRP saw declines until March 2017, when it saw a massive explosive rally, jumping 66,100% to $3.31 in less than a year. This allowed it to outperform the market in 2017.

Most recently, XRP observed a similar run after underperforming in comparison to the rest of the market throughout 2024. By November 2024, the altcoin exploded, soaring to a peak of $3.4 in January 2025 and outperforming the rest of the market again. These patterns have contributed to Coach JV’s conviction of an imminent “unforgiving” run for XRP.

Here’s How to Leverage This Run

However, the market expert does not expect everyone to benefit from this event. According to him, those who will take advantage of this rally will not be the smartest traders but the “most disciplined” HODLers.

Notably, most market participants attempt to time the market during a bull run, looking out for the perfect moment to enter and the perfect moment to sell off their bags at the highest possible profit. Coach JV said these individuals will likely miss the run, insisting that the investors who will win are those who have “mastered patience.”

Considering XRP’s knack for sudden, rapid price spikes, those looking for the perfect entry may miss the moment due to such sudden surges. Instead, the market is likely to reward investors who purchase when the market is at its lowest and sentiment is down

In a classic case, any investor who acquired XRP at $0.47 in July 2024 with $50,000 would today be sitting at over $300,000 due to patience. “When it moves… it’s too late to get ready,” Coach JV warned, advising market participants to prepare mentally, physically, and spiritually beforehand.
