Bittime – The highly anticipated Bitcoin Halving event is happening this week. Amidst the overall downward trend of the crypto market, market players remain pinned high hopes on this event considering the historical bullish trend that accompanies it.
Well-known cryptocurrencies such as Ripple (XRP), whose price movements often follow Bitcoin, are predicted to also enjoy the blessings of the post-halving bull market.
This article from The Crypto Basic discusses the potential price increase of XRP after the upcoming Bitcoin "halving", based on the historical performance of Bitcoin and XRP itself.
Bitcoin's Journey After the 2020 "Halving".
The last Bitcoin Halving event occurred on May 11, 2020. At that time, the opening price of BTC was around $8,755. Even though it touched a low of $8,374, BTC then managed to reach an intraday high of $9,033.
However, five months post-halving, Bitcoin prices are still hovering below $10,000. It wasn't until late October that Bitcoin finally broke through that barrier and opened the door to a bull market.
Eight months after the "halving", to be precise in January 2021, BTC recorded a 3X increase and for the first time entered the $30,000 range.
Bitcoin's uptrend continued until it finally broke through the $60,000 threshold in April 2021. Unfortunately, selling ("bear") pressure came later in April 2021, and a year after the "halving", Bitcoin was back in the $30,000 range.
Let's take a closer look at the period between October 31, 2020, when BTC first touched $14,000 again, to April 14, 2021, when it reached a peak of $64,863 before experiencing a significant price correction. In that period, Bitcoin experienced an increase of 363%.
Bitcoin's highest overall price peak was recorded on November 10, 2021, at $68,789. This means Bitcoin's increase reached 721.46% compared to the low of $8,374 on the 2020 halving day.

XRP's Journey After Bitcoin Halving
While Bitcoin mining rewards were cut in half during the halving event, the price of XRP bottomed at $0.1885.
Three months later, XRP briefly touched around $0.3 but then moved flat at around $0.2 until the end of October 2020, when Bitcoin's bullish trend began.
In November, XRP managed to post a 307% gain, surging from its post-halving low to a daily high of $0.768.
Entering January 2021, XRP failed to maintain an uptrend along with Bitcoin. The price even plummeted below the November 2020 high of $0.768. However, XRP then followed Bitcoin's footsteps again and managed to break through the $1 level in early April.
During the bullish surge in 2021, XRP reached a peak of $1.9650 on April 14. The asset then failed to set a new record high after Bitcoin's correction was followed by a recovery.
Interestingly, from the lowest point of $0.1885 on May 11, 2020, to the highest point of XRP in 2021, the recorded increase reached 942.44%.
XRP Price Prediction If History Repeats Itself
With the above 700% increase recorded by Bitcoin after the 2020 "halving", a similar forecast has the potential to take Bitcoin to levels above $500,000. However, the general estimate for Bitcoin's peak this cycle is in the $150,000 to $250,000 range.
Likewise, if XRP can repeat its extraordinary achievement of a 942% increase in 2021, assuming the current price of
Predictions this high have certainly generated various opinions among market players. Some analysts are even of the view that $10 is still a conservative estimate for XRP in this period.
