XRP may be approaching one of its biggest technical moments in years as crypto analyst XRP Celal Kucuker (@CelalKucuker) projected a move above $15 this cycle. He stated, “XRP looks ready for a massive breakout,” before adding that he still believes the asset will climb beyond $15.
His chart outlines a long-term structure that stretches back to 2017 on the weekly timeframe. It shows XRP compressing inside converging trendlines for years before breaking into a higher range during late 2024. The setup now points toward another major expansion phase that could carry the asset into double-digit territory.

Long-Term Trendline Break Remains in Focus
The chart highlights a descending black resistance trendline that capped XRP for several years after its 2018 peak. XRP finally pushed above that level during its explosive rally toward the $3 region in late 2024.
After the breakout, XRP remained at high levels before a steady decline pushed it into a consolidation phase. The asset has pulled back toward the old resistance line, which now appears to act as support. Kucuker’s chart marks this area around $1.30.
That retest plays a major role in the bullish structure. Traders often watch for successful retests after major breakouts because they can confirm a shift in market structure. XRP currently trades near that zone after months of cooling price action.
Projection Targets Point Toward $17
Kucuker mapped a projected move that begins from the current consolidation area and rises sharply toward the upper resistance channel. His chart places a target near $17.53. That projected path follows a pattern XRP has shown several times in previous cycles.

The chart displays repeated consolidation phases followed by aggressive vertical rallies. Earlier structures in 2017 and 2021 produced similar breakout formations before strong price expansions. It also shows a long-term ascending channel. The upper boundary of this channel aligns with the projected target area.
That adds another technical level that traders may monitor if momentum accelerates during the next upward move. Kucuker also connected XRP’s potential rally to the competition among major crypto assets. He wrote that when XRP moves above $15, it “will seriously challenge Ethereum’s position.”
XRP is Gearing Up for a Breakout
The current setup shows XRP trading in a narrowing range after months of retracement from its recent highs. Volatility has slowed compared to the late 2024 breakout period, though the asset continues to hold above key long-term support levels. If XRP can maintain support, retesting the trendline could provide enough momentum for a sharp rebound.
