Why XRP Price Is About To Stage The Breakout Of The Decade

Crypto analyst ChartNerd has predicted that the XRP price is about to stage the breakout of the decade. This came as he alluded to a bullish pattern that has been forming since 2024, and is now seeing a critical retest.

In an X post, ChartNerd stated that the XRP price has secretly handed the market the breakout of the decade. He revealed that a multi-year symmetrical triangle, which finally broke in Q4 2024, leading to a new all-time high (ATH) in July 2025, is now searching for a critical retest. The analyst added that this is the exact setup as the similar triangle in earlier cycles between 2013 and 2017 before a vicious uptick. 

The analyst noted that the current XRP price structure is similar, with triangle compression, a clean break, a textbook retest, and then ignition. He added that if this retest is successful, XRP is not looking back for another three to four years. ChartNerd added that there is a major opportunity at hand, with the altcoin eyeing new highs. 

The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the XRP price could rally to a new ATH of $21 on this breakout. However, the altcoin could retest below the psychological $1 level before embarking on a parabolic rally to the upside. It is worth noting that the retest could happen as soon as this month amid macro pressures, including the U.S.-Iran war. 

ChartNerd had earlier mentioned that this month is shaping up to be a defining one for the XRP price. He noted that the altcoin is navigating a high-volatility zone at the moment, which is worth paying close attention to. 

In an X post, crypto analyst Dark Defender said that a new all-time high is in sight for the XRP price. This came as he noted that the altcoin broke a key resistance on the 3-day chart after respecting the structure and supporting the $1.31 white Fibonacci line multiple times. The analyst also revealed that XRP has completed the C Wave, broken above the resistance-support triangle, and recorded an RSI bullish cross, which is why he is confident that a new ATH is in sight. 

However, despite these positive outlooks for the XRP price, crypto analyst CasiTrades has warned that the XRP price could still drop to as low as $0.85 on a 5-wave move to the downside. In the short term, she predicts that the altcoin could drop to $1.09 after its relief bounce following the U.S.-Iran ceasefire. 

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.35, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
