In a post on X, he described the current $1.40 XRP as being in temporary hibernation and said that a move to $18 or $25 could represent only an intermediate stage if market expansion and adoption continue.

XRP’s Current Price Is A Temporary Hibernation Phase

This is why the analyst noted that XRP will trade anywhere between the $18 and $25 range in an intermediate phase, but this is not the final destination. In his view, XRP’s current predicament is only temporary because the market has not fully priced in what Ripple has been building behind the scenes. 

Price At $10,000 Is Not Fantasy

Luke’s prediction places XRP trading at five digits on the higher end. That higher-end claim is speculative, especially his reference to $10,000 XRP, which would require an extreme restructuring of global liquidity and market valuation assumptions. According to him, this price target is not fantasy. It is global liquidity at scale.
