A market commentator has predicted when he believes XRP and other altcoins could reach their all-time highs, citing the latest Bitcoin peak.
For context, Bitcoin (BTC) claimed a new all-time high of $125,725 on Oct. 5 following days of persistent price gains. Notably, after dropping to a floor price of $108,652 on Sept. 25, BTC staged a recovery, recording seven green days out of nine from Sept. 25 to Oct. 5.
During this period, it broke the previous all-time high of $124,517 from Aug. 14, reaching the new peak above $125,000 on Oct. 5. Shortly after this milestone, pseudonymous market commentator Nathaniel Rothschild leveraged the Bitcoin price action to make a bold prediction for altcoins.
Timeline for XRP to Reach New ATH
In a post on X, Rothschild projected that if the $125,725 price was the new all-time high for Bitcoin, then XRP and other altcoins could reach their own respective all-time highs over the next three weeks. This commentary came up on Oct. 5, indicating that Rothschild expects a new XRP all-time high in the week starting Oct. 26. Currently, this is barely two weeks away.
For context, XRP’s current all-time high remains contested at press time. Specifically, some market participants insist that the altcoin has still not reached a new peak in this cycle, arguing that its all-time high was the $3.84 price from January 2018. CoinMarketCap data supports this claim.
Nonetheless, others suggest that XRP’s all-time high from January 2018 was $3.31. Chart data from multiple exchanges and TradingView backs this claim. If this is accurate, then XRP first claimed a new all-time high when it hit $3.4 in January 2025 and then hit another peak when it surged to $3.66 in July 2025.
In this scenario, Rothschild believes XRP has the potential to soar beyond the $3.66 peak over the next few days. With XRP currently changing hands for $2.22 at press time, down 20.73% over the past week, the altcoin would need to first recover the $3 psychological territory before eyeing a new all-time high.
How Feasible is This?
At the current price, XRP would need a 65% increase in less than two weeks to surpass the July 2025 peak. Interestingly, this is not completely out of reach for the asset.
Notably, two weeks before it hit $3.66 by July 18, XRP traded for $2.22 on July 5. It took exactly 14 days for the asset to reach the $3.66 price from here, indicating that such a run is possible when the broader market is in a bullish phase. Despite this, there are no guarantees.
Right now, the market faces massive turbulence, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) down 13.7% and 14% in the past two weeks. Importantly, Rothschild did not account for the unexpected Oct. 10 market crash, which has since pushed XRP to new lows. As a result, it is unclear if his outlook has changed.
Despite the current struggles, Rothschild has always been bullish on XRP. Three months back, he predicted a possible rally to $26, citing XRP’s price action against Bitcoin.
