Maxi, a well-known market analyst, has stirred excitement across the XRP community with a bold projection: XRP is preparing for a significant rally toward $4.50.
According to his recent post on X, the digital asset has completed a textbook breakout, followed by a pullback and a successful retest of previous highs, signaling that the next explosive move could be imminent.
XRP Breakout Structure Aligns with Classic Bullish Pattern
After reaching a new year-to-date high around $3.66, XRP corrected to the $3.00–$3.15 range. This pullback wasn’t a sign of weakness but a healthy retracement that found support at former resistance. Notably, analysts like CasiTrades identified this move as a typical Elliott Wave structure, Wave 2 correcting deeply to the 0.854 Fibonacci level before rebounding sharply.
With XRP holding above $3.00 and now threatening to break past $3.21, momentum is building. A sustained breakout above $3.40–$3.66 could confirm the beginning of Wave 3, often the most aggressive and profitable phase in Elliott Wave theory.

Technical Indicators Support Rally to $4.50
From a wider technical standpoint, XRP appears to be forming the final leg of a five-wave impulse structure. After consolidating near its 21-day exponential moving average, the asset has built a solid base, with patterns such as an inverse head-and-shoulders and a cup-with-handle emerging on shorter timeframes.
These formations typically signal bullish continuation, especially when accompanied by volume expansion.
Several analysts believe that the final push, Wave 5, could stretch toward $4.00–$4.50. This range aligns with the 1.618 Fibonacci extension of the recent correction, as well as historical resistance from XRP’s previous all-time highs.
Whale Accumulation Strengthens Bullish Outlook
On-chain data further supports the bullish case. Large XRP holders, often referred to as whales, have been actively accumulating. Over the past week, approximately 310 million XRP, worth nearly $980 million, were moved out of exchanges like Uphold, signaling long-term storage.
This behavior often precedes significant price moves. When large holders reduce available supply on exchanges, upward pressure builds, especially if retail demand kicks in during a breakout.

Catalysts: Regulatory Clarity and ETF Speculation
Beyond the charts, macro factors are also favoring XRP. Ongoing developments in Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC are gradually adding clarity, boosting investor confidence. Moreover, the growing speculation about a potential XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) has sparked renewed institutional interest.
Analysts now forecast a conservative target between $4.00 and $4.50 by year-end, assuming positive legal momentum continues and the market maintains its broader uptrend.
All Eyes on $4.50
Maxi’s call to “prepare for $4.50” is not just hype; it’s backed by a strong confluence of technical structure, whale activity, and improving fundamentals. While XRP must first overcome resistance near $3.66, the current setup suggests that a breakout could launch the token into its next major rally.
Still, caution is warranted. If XRP loses support near $3.00, the bullish scenario could be delayed. But as long as the current structure holds, the $4.50 target appears increasingly within reach.
