Drop CEO Bird (@Bird_XRPL) has published a detailed technical analysis of XRP, comparing the current weekly MACD structure to the one that preceded XRP’s explosive rally in late 2024. Based on this analysis, he believes XRP could go parabolic next week.
The analysis centers on a specific sequence of events visible on the weekly chart. Bird argues that sequence has now repeated with near-identical timing, and suggests that a massive breakout could be imminent.
The 2024 Setup
On July 15, 2024, XRP printed a bullish cross on the weekly MACD. The price reacted modestly. The MACD then flattened, producing what Bird calls a “bullish rebound.” Momentum held, but price went nowhere for weeks. XRP moved sideways with no significant expansion.
Then the move came. Bird notes the distance between the initial bullish cross and the start of the explosive rally: 16 weekly candles, 112 days. XRP ran from roughly $0.50 to above $2.50 in a matter of weeks.
I think XRP could go parabolic next week.
And this chart I've annotated explains exactly why.
Look closely at what happened in 2024, because the structure and timing we're seeing right now are remarkably similar.

The 2026 Structure
Bird identifies the same sequence beginning on April 13, 2026. XRP printed another bullish weekly MACD cross. What followed looked familiar as the price continued falling. The MACD held its bullish structure. Then the indicator flattened and began rebounding, producing a pattern Bird says looks “extremely similar to 2024.”
He then measured the same 16-bar, 112-day distance from the April 13 cross. That measurement lands on August 3, 2026. Bird says the timing is “EXACTLY the same” as 2024.
Where XRP Stands Now
XRP is currently trading near $1.03, sitting directly on a major support level that Bird identifies as significant. The chart shows the asset’s price compressing just above $1 after months of decline from highs above $3 in 2025.
Bird is direct about his prediction: “Next week is when XRP could finally wake up.” He expects weekly momentum to expand, the $1 area to hold as a bottom, and XRP to begin “the kind of violent repricing we saw after November 2024.”

He acknowledges the limits of the analysis. “History doesn’t have to repeat candle for candle,” he writes, adding that “a single historical comparison isn’t proof of what happens next.” Still, he states the combination of identical MACD behavior, identical timing, and major support has his full attention. The 2026 window ended August 3, and Bird believes that “the clock has run out.”
