A market commentator has predicted when he believes XRP and other altcoins could reach their all-time highs, citing the latest Bitcoin peak as context.

Bitcoin (BTC) recently claimed a new all-time high of $125,725 on October 5, following days of persistent price gains. Notably, after dropping to a floor price of $108,652 on September 25, BTC staged a recovery, recording seven green days out of nine from September 25 to October 5. During this period, it broke the previous all-time high of $124,517 set on August 14, reaching the new peak above $125,000 on October 5.

Shortly after this milestone, pseudonymous market commentator Nathaniel Rothschild leveraged the Bitcoin price action to make a bold prediction for altcoins.

### XRP’s All-Time Highs: What’s the History?

Some analysts suggest that XRP’s all-time high from January 2018 was $3.31, a claim backed by chart data from multiple exchanges and TradingView. If this is accurate, XRP first claimed a new all-time high when it hit $3.40 in January 2025 and then reached another peak at $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.

Currently, XRP is trading at $2.22, down 20.73% over the past week. For XRP to reach a new all-time high, it would first need to recover the psychological $3.00 territory.

### How Feasible Is This?

At the current price, XRP would need approximately a 65% increase in less than two weeks to surpass its July 2025 peak of $3.66. Interestingly, this is not completely out of reach for the asset.

Two weeks before hitting $3.66 on July 18, XRP was trading at $2.22 on July 5. It took exactly 14 days for the price to surge from $2.22 to $3.66, indicating that such a run is possible in a bullish market phase.

### Market Challenges Ahead

Despite this optimistic outlook, there are no guarantees. The market is currently experiencing significant turbulence, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) down 13.7% and 14% respectively over the past two weeks.

Importantly, Rothschild did not factor in the unexpected market crash on October 10, which pushed XRP to new lows. As a result, it remains unclear if his outlook has changed since then.

### Rothschild’s Bullish Stance on XRP

Despite current struggles, Rothschild has consistently been bullish on XRP. Just three months ago, he predicted a possible rally to $26, citing XRP’s price action against Bitcoin.
