Crypto analyst Dr Cat has shared a bullish long-term outlook for XRP, setting a macro target between $19 and $32 during the current bull run.
In a post accompanied by a multi-year XRP/BTC chart, he stated that the projection is based on Bitcoin reaching $270,000 and the XRP/BTC pair trading between 7,000 and 12,000 satoshis.
According to him, this scenario is “probably in 2026,” suggesting that the timeline for such a move is not immediate but instead tied to broader market conditions over the next one to two years.
Under these assumptions, an XRP/BTC ratio of 7,000 sats at a $270,000 Bitcoin price equates to roughly $19 per XRP, while 12,000 sats would correspond to around $32. This forms the basis for the price band outlined in his forecast.
My macro target for $XRP this bull run is $19 – $32.
This is based on 270K $BTC and 7K – 12K satoshi $XRPBTC.

Probability for Near-Term Price Move
In a reply to a question from X user Ripple Van Winkle, who asked whether $9 for XRP in September remains likely, Dr Cat clarified that his timeframe was September to December. He placed the probability of XRP reaching that level within the period at 40–50 percent. However, he added that if this target is not met, “the chance for a monster rally to 20–30 in 2026 increases A LOT.”
His comments indicate that the $9 figure is an intermediate milestone rather than the ultimate target. Failure to achieve it in the stated timeframe does not invalidate the larger projection. Instead, in his view, it would significantly raise the likelihood of a sharp rally to the higher $20–$30 range during 2026, provided the underlying BTC and XRP/BTC assumptions hold.

Chart analysis and technical context
The chart attached to the post is a two-month XRP/BTC chart from Binance, incorporating Ichimoku indicators, historical price action, and key horizontal resistance levels. The current XRP/BTC value is around 0.00002666 BTC, or approximately 2,666 sats. Red horizontal lines are drawn near 7,000 sats and 12,000 sats, marking the zones that form the basis of Dr Cat’s price targets.
The chart also features an extended Ichimoku cloud projection, showing a shaded area into the late 2020s, with structure around the target zones aligning with his suggested 2026 timeframe. Volume data and a long-term moving average provide additional context for the market’s trend over the past decade.
Dr Cat’s projection is derived from a straightforward calculation that links Bitcoin’s peak price and XRP’s relative strength against it. Despite the uncertainty about timing, Dr Cat maintains that the core thesis remains intact. The September–December window offers an intermediate opportunity for significant upside, but if missed, it could set the stage for a stronger move in 2026.
