The 3-Part Impulse That Shows Where The XRP Price Is Headed Next

XRP bulls are trying to turn a brutal selloff into something bigger than a relief bounce. An interesting setup shows a possible three-part impulse from the recent low around $1.05, but the entire setup still depends on whether buyers can force the price through the levels that broke during the crash.

An interesting technical analysis of the XRP price is centered on a possible three-leg recovery structure, with the cryptocurrency’s latest low around $1.07 acting as the starting point. From there, the projected path shows an impulsive move into the $1.94 region, a pullback into the $1.46 zone, and then a much larger advance into the upper resistance band between $2.39 and $3.11.

The interesting chart, which was shared on X by RWA_Investor, shows a macro corrective sequence playing out from XRP’s highs above $3 since last year, a classic W-X-Y double zigzag that has consumed months of price history. The first leg, Wave W, completed a full ABC decline, bottoming at a major low labeled (C)/(W) on the chart in early February.

A linking wave X then produced a counter-rally that pushed the XRP price above $1.50 in the middle of May with an internal structure of its own (X)-(A)-(B) sequence before rolling over. That rollover initiated the final Y leg, which has now pushed the XRP price down to the $1.12 range again at the time of writing. 

Now that the (C)/(Y) wave is playing out at current lows around $1.12, the setup is an anticipated change from correction to a bullish impulse wave. 

The projected move is a three-wave ABC recovery that targets a destination box between $2.39 and $3.11. Wave A is expected to push toward the $2.12 level; however, this projection does not give XRP a free pass. There’s a support/resistance trendline around $1.46, which is going to be the first test, and there’s another possible rejection test around $2.12.

Wave B would then retrace back to around $1.46, but this shakeout should not be mistaken for bearishness. Wave C, the final and strongest leg of the sequence, is going to be characterized by a move into a target zone anywhere between $2.70 and $3.10.

A break above $3.10 would suggest that XRP has already found its macro bottom at $1.05. In that scenario, the three-part structure would begin to look like the beginning of a broader trend reversal into new all-time highs. 

If XRP fails below the upper band and loses momentum after the projected rebound, then it could eventually revisit the $0.75 to $1 range to complete a corrective macro wave 2. Interestingly, multiple analysts have identified the $0.87 to $0.92 region as a potential bottom target for XRP under a corrective macro wave.
