X Analyst Roasts Influencers Who Promised $1,000+ Price Targets for XRP

A prominent technical analyst on X called out influencers who promoted $1,000+ price targets for XRP by the end of 2026. ChartNerd (@ChartNerdTA) expressed frustration at the distance between these bold calls and the silence that followed. He asked where the influencers are now and joked about getting a refund for his 'lottery ticket.'

The analyst built a reputation around chart-based analysis, which he believes is more reliable than narrative-driven price calls. He contrasted this approach with the influencer-driven approach that dominated XRP discourse in prior years. ChartNerd emphasized the importance of showing charts and technical analysis to predict prices.

The XRP community responded to ChartNerd's comments, with some users suggesting that the year is not over yet and others arguing that $1,000 is a lofty target. One commenter even joked about reaching $589 first. Another user told ChartNerd to sell at current prices, believing that a total exit from the asset and its ecosystem might be the right call.
