The XRP price has staged a strong recovery this month, making it one of the best-performing top ten cryptocurrencies.

Ripple (XRP) peaked at $1.6305 last week, rising 324% from its lowest point this year and pushing its market cap to over $81 billion. This valuation surpasses major global firms like Deutsche Bank, Marriott International, and BP.

With XRP’s bullish trajectory, analysts have shared optimistic forecasts. Edo Farina, a long-term Ripple supporter, predicted in an X post that the coin could surge to $10 during this bull run.

He cited fundamental catalysts, including expectations that Donald Trump’s victory could resolve Ripple’s ongoing conflict with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be over next year.

Meanwhile, Ripple and Archax have partnered to launch a tokenized fund on the XRP Ledger, signaling renewed activity on the network

Additionally, Ripple is developing RLUSD, a stablecoin intended to compete with Tether (USDT) PayPal USD, and USD Coin (USDC).

There are also rumors of Ripple launching an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the coming years. A January CNBC report suggested the company postponed its IPO plans due to SEC challenges, a situation that could shift next year.

Can the XRP price jump to $10?

The price of Ripple traded at $1.4381 on Nov. 25, requiring a 600% increase to reach $10. Such a move would exceed its recent performance but aligns with past trends, like its 1,800% jump from 2020 lows to its all-time high in 2021.

The weekly chart shows that Ripple broke the significant resistance level of $0.9350, the neckline of a slanted triple-bottom pattern. The coin has moved above the 50-week and 200-week Exponential Moving Averages, suggesting positive momentum. There are also indications of a bullish pennant pattern forming.

While XRP may continue climbing, potentially reaching its all-time high of $1.96 and further to $5, a leap to $10 in 2024 remains unlikely.

Pi Network has erased some of the gains made last week as the recent rally in the crypto industry took a breather. Still, there are chances that the Pi coin will resume its rebound, and potentially hit $100 ahead of the mainnet launch.

Pi Network Price Prepares For the Mainnet Launch

The Pi Network IoU price will be on the spotlight after the recent successful PiFest event and the upcoming ending of the KYC verification of pioneers. 

In a recent statement, Pi’s developers said that over 27,000 sellers registered in the Map of Pi during the recent PiFest event. Map of Pi is a dApp in its ecosystem that enables sellers accepting the Pi coin to register themselves. 

These numbers mean that the coin is getting popular among sellers, a move that could make it a better cryptocurrency compared to Bitcoin in terms of shopping. It also means that the developers have achieved one of the three conditions that needs to happen ahead of the mainnet launch. This condition calls for the network to have an ecosystem that will give the Pi coin utility. 

The other condition is that the developer needs to complete the KYC verification of all miners, a process that has accelerated in the past few months. The grace period of this process will complete on November 30. 

Additionally, with cryptocurrencies being in a strong bull run, the third condition of a friendly environment has been met. Therefore, there is a likelihood that the Pi mainnet launch will happen as soon as in December. 

Pi Coin Analysis: Will It Hit $100?

The Pi Coin IoU, which is not associated with the Pi project, jumped to $100 in October as anticipation of the mainnet launch. It then suffered a harsh reversal and bottomed at $44.95 on November 12. This decline was notable because its lower side was slightly above the 100-day moving average, which explains why the coin has bounced back.

Pi Network’s rebound also happened a few weeks after it formed a golden cross as the 200-day and 50-day moving averages crossed each other. 

The current retreat happened after the coin rose to the extreme overshoot of the Murrey Math Lines. Therefore, with the rising expectation of an upcoming mainnet launch, there are chances that the Pi coin price will bounce back, and potentially retest the important resistance at $100. A break above that level will raise the odds of the coin rising to the year-to-date high of $122.05. 

On the flip side, a drop below the top of the trading range at $56.25 will invalidate the bullish view, and raise the odds of it falling to $45, its lowest level this month.
