Interest around XRP has intensified following a post from crypto analyst Crypto Captain (@UniverseTwenty). He focused on a fractal visible on the weekly XRP chart. The setup points to a potential sharp upside move into late January.
The chart emphasizes structure rather than short-term noise, and this approach has resonated with traders watching XRP attempt to transition out of a prolonged corrective phase.
Crypto Captain stated that if the fractal repeats, XRP can hit $8.5 before the end of January. The statement anchors his analysis to a historical price pattern. His chart outlines a clear sequence of compression, breakdown, and recovery that mirrors an earlier cycle. The current weekly candle positioning suggests XRP has entered the early stages of that repeat.

What the Weekly Chart Shows
XRP spent several months moving sideways through mid-2025 before pushing higher in July. That rally peaked at its all-time high of $3.65. From there, the price entered a controlled decline. The gradual pullback formed a falling wedge, with XRP respecting the boundaries of this pattern for the rest of 2025.
However, that pattern has shifted. The most recent weekly candle closes above the descending resistance. This break aligns with the fractal highlighted by Crypto Captain. In the prior instance, a similar channel break led to a near-vertical expansion phase. His projection extends that prior move forward, targeting the $8.5 region.
The red horizontal line near the top of the chart reinforces this target zone. The fractal assumes momentum, and liquidity conditions allow XRP to rapidly revisit that level if it can sustain this bullish momentum.

Momentum Shift Signals Trend Transition
Beyond the fractal itself, the chart shows a clear momentum shift. Weekly candles tightened during the decline and have begun expanding as the price pushes upward. That signals renewed buying pressure. XRP also reclaimed $2, a crucial level that acted as resistance in late 2025.
The chart suggests XRP has already made its initial move. This structure aligns with prior impulsive behavior in XRP markets. Crypto Captain’s focus remains on repetition, and the setup depends on the continuation of the breakout already in progress.
The projected move illustrates a steep advance toward the $8.5 target. The next several candles will determine whether the fractal continues to play out as outlined.
