XRP Price Analysis: Can $3 Hold Before a Rally to $5.80?

XRP has struggled to decisively surpass the $3 psychological barrier, falling more than 20% since its July peak near $3.66. Despite recent setbacks, analysts remain optimistic about a potential breakout, highlighting technical patterns and key support levels that could drive XRP higher.

XRP Rebound Could Target $4.40

Technical analysis suggests XRP could rebound toward $4.00–$4.40 if it holds the crucial $2.95 support level. Elliott Wave analyst Avi Harkishun notes that this zone, which acted as resistance during mid-2021, has historically become strong support after XRP’s earlier breakout.

The $4.00–$4.40 target aligns with the 1.618 Fibonacci retracement level measured from the swing high near $3.38 to the swing low around $1.61.

Other chartists, including ThePenguinXBT, view these levels as an attractive long opportunity. Additionally, XRP’s bull pennant pattern hints at a potential upside target near $4.62.

Cup-and-Handle Formation Points to $5.80

Another bullish signal comes from AltcoinGordon, who identifies a classic cup-and-handle formation on XRP’s daily chart. Currently in the handle stage, the consolidation could precede a breakout above the neckline at around $3.80.

Based on the cup’s depth, the measured move projects a target of $5.80, representing a potential 90% gain from current prices. This formation highlights XRP’s strong technical potential if bullish momentum resumes.

Key Support Level at $2.95

However, the bullish scenario depends on XRP maintaining support at $2.95. A drop below this level could trigger a longer pullback pattern known as a “WXY correction,” extending the decline toward $2.40. This zone aligns with heavy historical trading activity and the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), offering a potential safety net in a bearish scenario.

XRP’s near-term prospects hinge on its ability to reclaim $3 as support. Holding $2.95 could pave the way for a rally toward $4.40–$5.80, while failing to maintain this level may lead to a deeper correction toward $2.40. Traders and investors will be watching these key technical points closely as XRP navigates its next critical phase.
