Trader @guyontheearth noted the monthly chart has pushed through its highest close since the 2017 cycle. They added that closing this month above that peak could trigger price discovery and a parabolic move higher.

Wallet data also shows how concentrated holdings are. More than 5.6 million wallets still hold fewer than 500 XRP. Analysts say this supports the idea that mass accumulation occurred before this breakout.

The $3 level now acts as the line where conviction is tested. According to @24hrscrypto1, a 10,000 XRP bag already costs $30,000, and at $10 that same stack would require $100,000.

Traders Eye $10 XRP Price and Supply Constraints

Speculation is growing around whether XRP can sustain its momentum toward $10. Market watchers warn that most retail traders may consider the token too expensive by then. The real test will be whether enough buyers are willing to step in at higher levels.

XRP is at $3 right now.

People look at that and say it’s cheap. But the real question isn’t the price you see, it’s whether you got in while the window for mass accumulation was still open.

Here’s what most won’t realize:

At $10, retail is going to look at XRP and walk away,…

Participants argue that once XRP’s utility rails are fully live, supply could tighten further. That scenario would leave latecomers facing higher entry points.

Current price action suggests whales are not yet exiting positions. Instead, they appear to be holding through the breakout. This could keep pressure on supply, giving bulls more room to push the next leg higher.

For now, XRP’s move back into the global top 100 is the milestone traders are focused on. Whether the token can keep momentum and set fresh highs will likely decide how quickly $10 comes into view.
