XRP Up 4%: Is It Really The 'Safest Bet Of The Cycle'?

XRP XRP/USD is up 4% on the day, sparking renewed bullish sentiment among traders, who call it the “safest bet of the cycle.”

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Javon Marks says XRP could still deliver a 50x return, pointing to a potential $111 target, based on prior-cycle behavior.

Trader Scient notes that XRP is flipping its monthly 50-day moving average for the first time in six years, a technical milestone that he says marks XRP as “probably the safest play” in crypto right now.

Veteran trader DonAlt echoed the bullish stance, labeling XRP one of the most compelling altcoin setups at current levels. It’s trading at range lows after sweeping prior support, a classic setup for a sharp reversal if broader market momentum continues.
