Crypto analyst CryptoBull (@CryptoBull2020) has returned focus to XRP’s long-term structure, pointing to a recurring behavior that has defined its biggest historical moves.
His analysis centers on XRP’s tendency to spend extended periods consolidating inside wedge formations before resolving with sharp upward expansions.
The weekly chart he shared highlights this pattern across multiple market cycles, raising questions about whether XRP is nearing another decisive phase.

Repeating Consolidation Phases on the Weekly Chart
At first glance, XRP’s recent price action appears uneventful. However, consolidation has often preceded major trend changes in XRP’s history.
The chart outlines several large wedge structures stretching back more than a decade. Each wedge formation indicates a period where price action tightened between converging trendlines.
The first wedge began in 2014, and XRP remained within this formation until it began a rapid ascent in 2017. However, it paused and entered another wedge for a few months before resuming its climb. This move culminated in its previous peak of $3.36 in January 2018.
Recently, XRP entered the longest wedge in its history. It attempted to break out of this formation, but its price was held back by the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC.

The 2024 Breakout and the Current Wedge
In late 2024, the crypto market began a massive rally after Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. election. XRP rode this wave, breaking out of that multi-year consolidation and rising by over 500%. Following this move, XRP continued that climb in 2025, reaching a new peak of $3.65 in July.
However, the asset’s momentum has stalled, and CryptoBull’s chart shows it trading within another wedge. The rallies that followed the previous wedges were not marginal. They defined XRP’s most aggressive upside periods. A repeat of this pattern could send XRP to new heights.
Where XRP May Be Headed Next
CryptoBull suggests that XRP is approaching another inflection point. The chart shows XRP near the apex of the current wedge, and he believes the surge is imminent. Many analysts are convinced that XRP will rise significantly in 2026, and CryptoBull’s chart supports that idea.
While the analyst does not provide a specific price target, the context of the chart implies a quick transition from consolidation to expansion. A sustained break above long-term resistance would mark a structural shift rather than a short-term breakout.
