XRP Could Reach a New All-Time High Heading Into 2026, Says High-IQ Forecaster
YoungHoon Kim, known for holding a world record IQ score, says he believes XRP is headed for a new all-time high as 2026 approaches — and says he’s already putting his money behind that view.
Kim recently revealed that he’s actively buying XRP, a move that many in the crypto community see as a bullish signal at a time when the token is stabilizing around the $2.00 level.
Crypto Community Takes Notice
Crypto commentator Gordon said Kim’s endorsement could mark an inflection point for XRP, suggesting the current price range may be laying the groundwork for a larger rally.
“When someone widely regarded as exceptionally intelligent starts accumulating XRP, it raises eyebrows,” Gordon said, adding that the $2.00 level could represent the early stages of a move toward new highs.
Meanwhile, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted the strong early performance of the newly launched XRP spot ETF. Just four weeks after debuting, it has become the fastest crypto spot ETF since Ethereum to reach $1 billion in assets under management in the U.S.
According to data from Sosovalue, XRP ETFs are now seeing more than $20 million in daily inflows, with total inflows approaching $1.2 billion.
Analysts See Bigger Upside if Support Holds
Analysts at Sistine Research say the combination of ETF demand and strong price support could set the stage for a much larger move.
“If XRP continues to hold the $2 range and ETF inflows remain steady, prices in the $10–$15 range by 2026 wouldn’t be out of the question,” the firm noted.
Technical Picture: $2 Holds, $2.40 Is the Key Level
From a technical perspective, XRP is consolidating just above $2.00, a level that has repeatedly held during recent pullbacks and is now acting as a short-term base.
The $2.00–$2.05 zone has become a clear area of demand. As long as this level holds, downside risk appears limited, with the next major support sitting closer to $1.80.
On the upside, the $2.38–$2.40 area remains the key hurdle. This zone has capped several recovery attempts and must be reclaimed to confirm a bullish continuation.
Momentum indicators are beginning to stabilize, with the MACD flattening and hinting at a potential bullish crossover — a sign that selling pressure may be easing.
A decisive break above $2.40 could open the door to moves toward $2.81, followed by the psychologically important $3.20 level.
Broader Market Implications
Some analysts believe a confirmed XRP breakout could also spill over into higher-risk segments of the market, including meme coins, which have historically performed well during strong XRP rallies.
While speculative plays remain high-risk, the broader takeaway is that XRP’s price action, ETF demand, and growing institutional presence are starting to align — lending more weight to bullish projections heading into 2026.
