The analyst makes bullish observations for XRP and other altcoins
Meanwhile, the market sentiments according to an analyst, have dropped to a significant low. The analyst, popularly known as AliCharts, took to X to share his recent observations. He asserts that although the market’s position is largely bearish, the future is extremely promising for XRP.
“The weighted market sentiment for XRP has dipped to its lowest negative point since mid-May 2023! For contrarian XRP investors who prefer to go against the crowd, this could be an intriguing signal. Moments like these can present unique opportunities in the market.” He wrote in a post.

Similarly, another analyst has maintained his Bullish position on XRP. Taken to X, he reaffirmed that his target for XRP has not changed at all. He previously made a bold forecast, stating that XRP could hit $8 and even go up as high as $13 in the long term. In his follow-up post, he is quoted saying “… And yes my targets will prove to be conservative. Cheers.”
Going forward, another analyst maintained that altcoins are on the verge of experiencing a takeoff, as ETFs are right around the corner. At present, the larger majority of altcoins are trading in red, with the top 10 losing mild hourly gains.
On the other hand, Bitcoin is trading in the green zone and has since been spared by 4.36% over 24 hours. Bitcoin now trades for $46,960, while sentiments continue to be bullish as ETF anticipations intensify.
