Technical Analyst Says $10 XRP Price Is Closer Than You Think. Here’s why

XRP trades near $1.4, yet the structure behind this level formed over multiple years. That long buildup now sits at the center of Crypto Patel’s latest technical view.

His chart tracks price action from 2019 through 2028 projections, showing how repeated consolidation zones shaped the current range.

He points to earlier skepticism to set the tone. In 2017, XRP traded at $0.006, and everyone believed reaching $3 was a fantasy. However, XRP went on a historic run, rising above $3.

He then connects that pattern to recent history. People similarly believed that XRP could not leave $0.5 in 2023, but the asset proved them wrong with a remarkable 500% surge in late 2024.

Accumulation Zone Defines the Current Range

The chart highlights a clear accumulation band between $0.7 and $1.1. XRP spent an extended time in this region before pushing higher. The asset now holds above that base, trading near $1.40.

Crypto Patel labels this area as a confirmed accumulation zone. He also marks a smaller region slightly above $1.1, suggesting continued positioning even after the initial breakout.

This structure shows sustained buying interest across a wide range rather than a short-term spike. The chart also displays the 2023 breakout, in which the asset moved sharply after compressing within a similar zone.

Is XRP About to Break Out?

The chart shows XRP tested resistance near the $2 to $2.2 range. It initially broke down from that level in early 2026, forming a short-term pullback. However, it has stabilized above the prior accumulation zone instead of revisiting lower levels.

Crypto Patel marks this sequence clearly. A resistance band forms, price rejects, then consolidates again at higher support. This behavior often signals continuation rather than reversal when support holds. Remaining above $1.1 reinforces that structure. It keeps XRP within a higher trading range, like the 2022 and early 2023 levels.

Projected Move Toward $10

The most prominent feature on the chart is the projected move toward $10. A green path shows a gradual climb, followed by acceleration into a long-term target zone near $10 by 2028.

Crypto Patel attaches a measured move of 1,069.57%, placing the target just under $10. He also outlines XRP’s advantages, including being 1,000x faster than Bitcoin, 99% cheaper than ETH, and global adoption by banks.

His outlook extends further. He states, “$10–$20? Absolutely on the table.” The chart aligns with that range. It shows potential continuation beyond the initial target once momentum builds. However, he believes that XRP may not reach $100.
