Top Trader Shrugs Off 700% XRP Gain as 'Giga Luck' — But $6.90 Target Remains on the Table
Crypto analyst DonAlt, known for nailing XRP’s breakout ahead of the crowd, says his winning trade was more luck than skill — even after riding the token up nearly 700%.
Back in late 2024, when XRP was trading under $1 and tangled in legal uncertainty, DonAlt laid out a bold scenario: the coin could soar to $6.90. At the time, few took it seriously. Fast forward to July 2025, and XRP touched $3.666 — landing near the upper end of its projected range.
Rather than bask in the glory, DonAlt has been playing it down. On X, he called himself “entirely washed” and said he simply “got giga lucky with XRP,” brushing off compliments about the accuracy of his call.
But even if he’s being modest, the market hasn’t forgotten that his target still stands. In earlier posts, DonAlt reaffirmed that $6.90 is not off the table — it's just waiting on the right setup.
That said, he’s been more cautious lately, scaling back his market commentary and calling out weak performances from other layer-1s like AVAX, which he noted is lagging behind stronger names like SOL. His scepticism echoes a broader sentiment in the market: not every altcoin is guaranteed a second wind, especially as the cycle grows more selective.
Whether XRP pushes higher or takes a breather here, DonAlt’s original thesis has already played out in a big way. Call it luck or skill — identifying a 700% move in advance shows serious understanding of market sentiment and structure. And if that $6.90 target is still in sight, there may be more to come.
