Crypto analyst RWA Investor has predicted that Bitcoin could rally to $140,000 and XRP to $7, setting new all-time highs (ATHs) for both assets. The analyst also outlined a timeline for when the targets could be reached and pointed to factors that could drive a “parabolic” move.
In an X post, RWA Investor said Bitcoin would be trading at $140,000 in May and that XRP would reach $7. The analyst framed the outlook as a psychological perspective rather than “wishful thinking,” arguing that the market’s transition from Wave 2 to Wave 3 is typically rapid.
RWA Investor said the shift is designed to pull in capital from investors on the sidelines and to push “all bears” into the market.
The analyst’s outlook comes amid uncertainty over when the U.S. Federal Reserve may lower interest rates. The article notes that the U.S.-Iran war has raised inflation concerns, while market participants are currently pricing the possibility that the Fed will hold rates steady throughout the year in an effort to bring inflation down to its 2% target.
Because of this, the article says it is unclear whether policy developments such as the CLARITY Act or an interest rate cut could be the catalyst for a Bitcoin and XRP rally, since both are described as unlikely to occur anytime soon.
Despite the rate uncertainty, the article says Bitcoin and XRP—along with the broader crypto market—have rallied this week. It attributes the move to optimism that the U.S.-Iran war could end soon, as negotiations continue.
It also notes that U.S. President Donald Trump extended the ceasefire, which the article says signals the U.S. willingness to end the war soon.
Separately, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe said in an X post that Bitcoin has bottomed, suggesting that XRP and other altcoins may have also found a bottom.
Van de Poppe added that Bitcoin’s fair value remains “far away,” even as the Nasdaq has made new ATHs. He said this is why he believes the current rally may be sustained for a while.
