\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhere is XRP heading next? Here are some of the recent predictions and analyses. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Ripple\u2019s cross-border token has often been the object of some wild price predictions, many of which might sound absurd at the time being. However, its infamous volatility has proved that it can produce massive gains (or drop violently) in the span of just weeks and months.<\/p>\n
In this article, we will review some of the latest bull and bear cases, one of which was even called precision and not \u2018hopium.\u2019<\/p>\n
We will begin with the more \u2018modest\u2019 forecast coming from perma-XRP bull John Squire. In a recent post, he outlined some rumors that Ripple\u2019s US national bank license is set for approval. Without providing any further details on the matter, he added<\/a> that such a \u201cmajor step for crypto adoption and institutional finance\u201d can instantly send the underlying token to $5.<\/p>\n EGRAG CRYPTO, an analyst also known for their pro-XRP calls, relied on technical analysis to determine the asset\u2019s next targets. They indicated that the long-term XRP chart shows a 814% surge during the first Elliott Wave, which transpired between 2015 and 2018. The subsequent corrective wave 2 took the asset south by over 70% to under $0.12 during the 2020-2022 bear market.<\/p>\n The analyst believes XRP is approaching the third wave, but it still needs to confirm it by reclaiming the wave 1 high of over $3.40 with a strong \u201cweekly close and momentum expansion.\u201d Until that happens, the asset is \u201cstill corrective.\u201d<\/p>\n If it does, though, the sky would be the limit for the cross-border token, with EGRAG indicating a massive price target of somewhere between $15 and $31 during wave 3.<\/p>\n #XRP<\/a> \u2013 Elliott Wave Reality Check (W3\ud83d\udff0$15-$31):<\/p>\n Let\u2019s be precise. No hopium.<\/p>\n \u2714\ufe0f Wave 1\u20e3: \u2714\ufe0f Wave 2\u20e3(Now): \u2014 EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) February 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In the opposite corner stands Ali Martinez, who, instead of going with the hype and predicting some mind-blowing bull targets, outlined XRP\u2019s most significant support levels in case another correction is to take place. The token has plunged by over 60% since its July 2025 all-time high, and currently struggles to remain above $1.40.<\/p>\n He noted that Ripple\u2019s token could find some support \u201calong the triangle\u2019s hypotenuse between $0.90 and $0.60\u201d if it loses the coveted $1.00 defense level. Recall that XRP dipped to $1.11 on February 6 when the entire market collapsed, but has remained above that line since then.<\/p>\n $XRP<\/a> could find support along the triangle\u2019s hypotenuse between $0.90 and $0.60. pic.twitter.com\/F04KWLknux<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ali Charts (@alicharts) February 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
The ~814% expansion fits a textbook impulsive Wave 1. Strong momentum, clean channel respect.<\/p>\n
