As June sets in with altcoins like XRP and Solana underperforming compared to Bitcoin, market analysts are painting a more optimistic picture.

In May, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $111,980, setting a historic milestone. Despite this, leading altcoins like Solana and XRP lagged behind Bitcoin’s momentum and failed to set new highs. Still, market watchers anticipate a potential altcoin season in June, during which top coins could perform significantly better.

Given the uncertainty surrounding altcoin performance, analysts urge patience, suggesting that long-term investors who remain steadfast could be rewarded.

Bitcoin Can Still Hit $200K

In a recent post on X, veteran trader “Crypto Fergani” shared his outlook for the potential peak prices of various coins, including Bitcoin. He projected that Bitcoin’s bullish momentum could drive its price to a peak of $200,000 per coin.

Recall that Bitcoin reached $111,980 on May 22, hitting a peak valuation of $2.22 trillion, a market cap that briefly allowed it to surpass both Google and Amazon in global rankings. However, Bitcoin has since corrected by 8% and has returned to the $103,000 level.

Still, industry observers like Fergani believe Bitcoin’s price could double from here and surpass $200,000.

Bitcoin’s potential rally to $200,000 would likely boost interest in the altcoin market, particularly among investors who now view BTC as too expensive.

As a result, Fergani projects that Ethereum, the leading altcoin, could reach $10,000 per coin. With its current price at $2,521, this would represent a 3x increase from current levels.

Where XRP Could Go After Solana Hits $1,000

Fergani expects even more impressive gains from Solana and XRP. He projects Solana could reach a peak of $1,000. With SOL currently trading at $154, reaching $1,000 would represent a 566% upside for current holders.

As for XRP, he forecasts a peak of $10, which would be a 370% gain from its current price of $2.13.

Among the major altcoins, XRP is the one that has not broken its all-time high for several cycles. However, popular opinion in the crypto community suggests that this cycle may finally end XRP’s nearly eight-year drought. Many believe a $10 price target is realistic, though some are predicting even bolder figures.

Other Expert Opinions on XRP’s Outlook This Cycle

For example, George Tung, founder of CryptosRUs, recently predicted that XRP could rise to $8–$10 by the end of 2025 as a conservative estimate.

He cites XRP’s strong fundamentals, resilience across multiple market cycles, and growing institutional interest, including several ETF filings, as key drivers.

Tung also compared XRP’s potential 4x gain to a projected 2x gain for Bitcoin and a 3x gain for Ethereum. Similarly, former skeptic Davinci Jeremie now acknowledges XRP’s institutional traction and sees a potential high of $24.

While uncertainty still surrounds these ambitious price predictions, Fergani advises investors to remain patient as these forecasts play out.
