I also think is possible but indeed will take a long time, i think will happen when more and new investors will come and invest on crypto market and then we can have a new ATH for a lot of coins.
If we take into account the information that can be read on the network regarding the pulsation project, then it turns out that the main investors of the Ripple are the Developers. They have all the levers of price control and the hype in the market around their coins. Perhaps such a sharp interest in the Ripples fueled artificially. But speaking objectively, the project is really interesting and has very good prospects for the future.
And developer are active they may made it 5$ and u hope they will not pump it too much before pumping of bitcoin. They may made it to 5$ only after reaching 20k+ price of bitcoin. Once bitcoin price go over 20k then ripple may goes to 5$.
