Market analyst Maelius has projected that XRP could climb to $12 in a potential fifth wave, based on historical price trends and RSI accumulation patterns. Following a 7% increase in December, XRP is reportedly in a similar accumulation phase as observed in 2015 and 2022. Maelius suggests that this phase could lead to a significant price surge, with the $12 target considered conservative given XRP's past performance, including a 1,500% increase in a single month. Other analysts, like Rob Cunningham, have echoed this $12 price target for XRP.
