XRP could be approaching an important technical point, according to crypto analyst JD, who has outlined a potential breakout based on previous market cycles.
In a post on X, JD said the breakout is “getting CLOSE” and suggested that XRP could reach its next major top around 2028 if its historical cycle structure repeats. His analysis also points to a possible shift in market leadership toward Bitcoin after that period.
#XRP breakout is getting CLOSE… 🎯
If we copy past cycles, NEXT MAJOR TOP could come around 2028
After that, I expect #BTC to TAKE OVER AGAIN as dominance shifts back toward Bitcoin.
The ones who got REKT last bull cycle will DENY & get POORER AGAIN!😂

JD Identifies Falling Wedge Pattern
JD accompanied his post with a weekly XRP/USD chart that highlights a long-term falling wedge formation. The chart shows XRP trading within two descending trendlines, with the upper boundary repeatedly rejecting price advances.
The analyst marked several rejection points along the upper trendline, including the area around $3.37. JD previously identified that level as a significant point at which he took profits, according to the text included on the chart. He also stated that he continues to hold a position for his 2027-2028 target.
The chart places XRP near the lower boundary of the falling wedge, with the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level marked around $1.0133. JD’s technical setup suggests that XRP could be approaching the point where the pattern eventually breaks to the upside.
The chart also includes an illustration of a falling wedge bullish pattern, reinforcing the technical structure JD is using in his analysis. However, the analyst has not provided a specific date for the breakout.
2028 Emerges as JD’s Major Top Projection
JD said that if XRP follows previous market cycles, its next major top could arrive around 2028. He based the projection on a comparison with earlier cycles rather than presenting it as a fixed forecast.
He also expects Bitcoin to regain market dominance after XRP reaches that potential cycle peak. According to JD, capital and market attention could shift back toward Bitcoin as the broader cycle develops beyond the projected XRP top.
JD further referenced his previous strategy, stating that he intends to use the same approach that he employed when he previously called XRP’s move to $3.37. He emphasized that his analysis focuses on technical analysis while excluding what he described as utility-related narratives.

Analysts Question Meaning of “Close”
The comments under JD’s post also addressed the uncertainty surrounding his statement that the breakout is close. FlexChainWerks noted that “close” could mean two weeks, two months, or even two years, and questioned the lack of a defined timeframe.
Another commenter, Trust Dex, focused on JD’s 2028 projection. The account said a 2028 top would place the altcoin cycle at roughly four years, similar to the period between the 2017 and 2021 cycles. However, it also noted that current liquidity depth does not yet match previous conditions.
For JD, the key factor remains the long-term technical structure. His chart indicates that XRP is testing a critical area within the falling wedge, while his broader cycle analysis places a potential major market top around 2028.
