XRP has been consolidating within a clear wedge pattern since July 2025, signaling a potential breakout. Daily chart data from Coinbase shows the token moving in a narrowing range, with resistance forming a descending trendline and support holding near $2.05.
Crypto analyst Bird (@Bird_XRPL) recently drew attention to the pattern, noting its potential to drive XRP significantly higher.
Technical Setup Suggests Upward Momentum
Bird emphasized the falling wedge structure, pointing out that a measured move could take XRP toward $4. The chart shows that the upper trendline has repeatedly capped gains, while the lower support has maintained stability. “If we start moving out of it over the next week or so, things could happen very fast,” Bird noted.
The wedge pattern’s narrowing price range indicates reduced volatility, a factor that often precedes significant directional moves. The projected breakout represents a potential 76% increase from current levels, according to the measured move calculation on the chart. This positions XRP for one of its strongest moves since mid-2025, when XRP hit its all-time high.
I think we're about to get a measured move out of this wedge, which XRP has been forming since July, which points straight to $4 on a clean breakout!

Could be an XRP narrative?

Market Conditions Could Accelerate the Move
While technical factors set the stage, market conditions may influence the timing and speed of any breakout. Bird suggested several possible catalysts, including a strong XRP narrative, major announcements from Ripple, or broader market activity. Each could amplify momentum once the breakout begins.
Current trading activity around $2.05 shows consolidation, with short-term buyers and sellers balancing near the support line. A decisive push above $2.3 could mark the start of the next upward leg. Traders often watch these levels closely, as breaking resistance with volume tends to confirm the measured move target.

Outlook for XRP Investors
XRP’s price action since mid-2025 provides context for the breakout scenario. Following a surge in July, XRP entered a corrective phase that lasted several months. The wedge formation has contained these movements, preventing deeper declines while compressing the price range. This technical history supports the case for a sustained upward breakout if resistance is breached.
Should XRP follow the measured move implied by the wedge, the token could reach $4 within the near term, marking a new all-time high. Investors monitoring the chart may look for confirmation through sustained trading above resistance and increased market activity. Bird’s observation suggests that these conditions could materialize quickly, making short-term technical monitoring important.
