The cryptocurrency has been moving within a long ascending channel that stretches from the 2020 low to the 2021 rally, the 2022-2023 accumulation area, and the latest market cycle since 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the weekly chart shows XRP repeatedly reacting around the lower and middle portions of this channel before attempting to push back to the upper trendline. However, the most notable part of the current positioning is where the XRP price <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/xrp-news\/xrp-nears-triangle-apex-breakout-1-80-follow\/\">is sitting within<\/a> this structure. The ascending channel is connected to higher lows, and the lower trendline is currently around $1.2 to $1.4.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This means the cryptocurrency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/xrp-price-slides-back-to-range-1-38\/\">recently tested and held <\/a>the lower boundary of the channel and has since begun curling upward, with the next projection <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/xrp-price-regains-grip-1-42\/\">being a return to the <\/a>upper trendline of the channel. This movement implies that XRP is now in the early stages of what could become its most powerful channel rally to date.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the upper boundary of the channel is currently around $12, which corresponds to the pundit\u2019s prediction of an $8 to $12 price target zone for XRP. The Fibonacci levels on the chart also support the bullish projection.\u00a0The 1.618 extension from the channel\u2019s low is around $12.15, and this makes the $12 target more than a random number in the analysis. It aligns with the upper Fibonacci extension and the projected channel resistance, giving the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/xrp-history-to-repeat\/\"> prediction a technical basis.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-895156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/XRP-Price.png?w=512&amp;resize=512%2C288\" alt=\"XRP Price\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CelalKucuker\/status\/2051284998028730776?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">XRP Price Chart.

This setup is similar to previous MACD crossovers that preceded XRP\u2019s major upside moves, including mid-2025, which took the cryptocurrency<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/a-new-xrp-all-time-high\/\"> to a new all-time high of <\/a>$3.65.<\/p>\n<p>The weekly MACD is starting to print green bars, and if this is sustained, it would add momentum confirmation to the bounce from the lower trendline of the ascending channel.<\/p>\n<p>In order for Kucuker\u2019s 2027 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ripple\/top-xrp-analyst-says-bears-will-be-proven-wrong-in-may-2026-but-why\/\">predicted timeline to hold<\/a>, XRP would need to clear several intermediate resistance levels before the end of the year, including the psychologically significant $2.00 price level, the $3.65 price peak, and the 1.272 and 1.414 Fibonacci extensions at $4.42 and $6.70, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/y8ZfGY0X\/\" alt=\"XRP price chart from Tradingview.com\" width=\"3280\" height=\"1878\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A crypto analyst has laid out a technical case for XRP reaching between $8 and $12 by April 2027.
