XRP is hovering at a key technical level that could shape its trajectory for years, with analysts pointing to historical patterns, whale activity, and growing institutional interest as fuel for a potential breakout.
Retest of a Decade-Long Pattern
After rebounding from early September lows, XRP is once again testing a pivotal breakout zone near $2–$3. Community analyst Dark Defender compared the current setup to XRP’s historic cup pattern from 2013–2017, which led to its surge to $3.31 in 2018. He believes XRP has completed a second, larger cup from 2018–2025, and argues that holding above this neckline is critical to confirm the bullish trend.
Dark Defender highlighted Fibonacci targets at $5.86, $18.23, and even $36.77—calling the move a “flight of the phoenix.” Analyst Stedas echoed this view, noting that a clean break above $3.60 could set the stage for runs toward $6, $13, and $23.
Analysts Emphasize Key Support Levels
Others stress caution. EGRAG CRYPTO pointed out that XRP’s current pullback has dipped slightly under its breakout line, warning that losing $2.85 support could trigger a slide to $2.65. He sees closes above $3.07 and $3.13 as critical for neutralizing downside risks.

Meanwhile, Tyler Hill of Fluence Global projected a rally toward $8.50 by November, citing Fibonacci targets at $4.45, $6.16, and $8.52. He added that the relative strength index still shows room for upside without overbought pressure.
Whale Moves and Corporate Demand Boost Outlook
On-chain analyst Ali Martinez reported that whales offloaded around 160 million XRP between late August and mid-September, creating short-term selling pressure. This distribution may have flushed out weak hands, with XRP climbing from $2.94 on September 9 to $3.18 on September 13. Martinez also flagged a TD Sequential buy signal on September 15, hinting at renewed momentum.

Adding to the bullish backdrop, VivoPower International confirmed plans to expand its XRP holdings through a mining swap strategy using Bitcoin and Litecoin. The firm first entered XRP in May with a $121 million investment.
XRP is at a crossroads. If it holds key support and clears resistance near $3.60, analysts see room for a powerful breakout. But if support fails, XRP could slip back into its old range—making the coming weeks crucial for its long-term trend.
