Analyst: XRP Is In Its “Calm Before the Storm” Moment. Here’s What It Means
Crypto analyst XRP Captain (@UniverseTwenty) believes the current XRP setup could precede a strong upward move.
In a recent post on X, he wrote that XRP is currently in the calm before the storm. He believes the asset could hit a new all-time high soon. His accompanying chart presents a clear technical structure that has guided XRP’s price action for months.
The weekly chart shows a descending trendline that began after the asset reached its $3.65 all-time high in July 2025. Since that peak, price action has repeatedly respected this downward resistance line. Each attempt to move higher has met selling pressure near the same sloping boundary.
The chart illustrates a long sequence of lower highs following that record level. This pattern established a consistent downtrend on the weekly timeframe. Despite that structure, the price has now moved into a zone that several analysts view as technically important.

Strong Support Stabilizes Price
While the descending resistance limited upward momentum, the chart also highlights strong support around $1.30. Recent weekly candles show XRP stabilizing near this level after a sharp decline earlier in 2026.
The price briefly dipped below the region before quickly recovering. That movement suggests buyers stepped in with significant demand. Since then, XRP has formed a cluster of smaller candles around the same support band. This activity indicates consolidation rather than continued decline.
Stability near $1.30 strengthens the analyst’s outlook. It shows that market participants continue to defend this level while the long-term resistance line approaches from above. That compression often leads to decisive moves once the price breaks out of the established structure.

Projected Breakout Path Toward New Highs
The chart shared includes orange projection lines that illustrate a potential bullish path. These lines begin near the current price region and move sharply upward. The first stage of the projection shows XRP breaking above the descending trendline. A weekly close above that resistance would end the pattern that has held since July 2025.
After the breakout, the projection shows rapid acceleration. The orange candles climb above $3 and continue toward levels beyond the previous all-time high of $3.65.
This outlook aligns with the analyst’s statement that a major move could follow the current quiet period. If XRP follows the outlined trajectory, it could rally far above $4, hitting the $5 short-term target recently set by the analyst.
