XRP could be approaching a key technical level that may determine its next major move, according to crypto analyst Celal Kucuker. In his latest tweet, Kucuker said he sees about 60% upside in the short term and stated that a move toward $2.20 would not surprise him.
Kucuker shared his latest assessment alongside a technical chart showing XRP consolidating within a narrowing structure after a sharp advance. The analyst said the cryptocurrency has reached the level he had been waiting for, suggesting the current price area could set up another significant move.
“60% upside in the short term,” Kucuker wrote. “$2.20 wouldn’t surprise me at all. It has reached the level I was waiting for.”
The chart attached to the update places a potential upside target around $2.1743, while another marked level sits near $1.3768. Based on the chart structure, Kucuker appears to be monitoring XRP’s ability to break out of the current consolidation pattern.

Earlier Forecast Called for $4
The latest update follows an earlier post in which Kucuker outlined a more aggressive outlook for XRP. He said that if the two-week candle opening on August 31 remains above the green trendline shown on his chart, XRP could reach a new all-time high before the end of the year.
Kucuker also cited $4 as a potential target while suggesting that $2.50 could arrive quickly if the technical setup develops as expected.
“And $2.50. It could come FAST. Maybe in a single candle,” he wrote in the earlier post.
His latest chart focuses on the nearer-term $2.20 objective rather than the longer-term $4 projection. The setup shows XRP trading inside a narrowing triangular formation following its recent move higher. A breakout from that formation could determine whether the projected upside begins to develop.
Analyst Avoids Predicting $10
The discussion under Kucuker’s post also included a much larger price target. One commenter, Emre, asked whether the analyst could see XRP reaching $10.
Kucuker rejected the idea of presenting such a target as something certain. He responded by referencing Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, noting that Buterin sold half of his ETH holdings when Ethereum traded around $10.
“Nobody can know this,” Kucuker replied.

Other commenters focused on the timing of the $2.20 target. Bitcoin Long suggested that XRP could reach $2.20 by September 15 and potentially $3.10 by September 20. Another commenter, Hasan, said he believed XRP could reach that level before September 15.
Kucuker’s latest update therefore maintains a bullish short-term outlook while stopping short of making a definitive prediction about much higher prices. For now, his analysis centers on the $2.20 region and XRP’s ability to break out of its current technical structure.
