XRP Could Hit $15–$20 in Mid-October 2025

Diana (@InvestWithD) predicts that XRP could surge to $15–$20 by mid-October 2025, based on Bitcoin’s halving cycles and XRP’s historical lag pattern. Following the 2024 halving, she expects a Bitcoin peak on September 29, 2025—527 days after the May 2020 halving—echoing the 2017 cycle. Applying the same 18-day gap, Diana forecasts an XRP high around October 17, 2025. Her conservative scenario projects $5–$7, a base case of $10–$15 driven by ETF inflows and network utility, and an aggressive target exceeding $20 if institutional liquidity surges. This cycle differs from 2017’s retail-driven rally: regulatory clarity after the SEC lawsuit, Ripple’s ETF applications, the launch of the RLUSD stablecoin, and global partnerships (including Thunes) form a stronger infrastructure. She cautions traders to lock in profits between October and November to avoid whale sell-offs. While projections are not financial advice, this cycle analysis highlights a potential explosive setup for XRP.
Bullish
This analysis points to a bullish outlook: historical halving cycles have driven XRP rallies shortly after Bitcoin peaks. Regulatory clarity following the SEC lawsuit and potential ETF inflows strengthen institutional demand. In the short term, traders may see increased volatility around the October profit-taking window; in the long term, stablecoin launches and strategic partnerships could underpin sustained upward momentum.
