Market watchers are paying close attention to XRP as it hovers near a critical level, with traders weighing the possibility of a strong breakout.
Adding to the discussion, finance expert and crypto enthusiast Armando Pantoja shared a rare technical view, stating that although he does not often engage in technical analysis, the current setup looks like “the calm before a massive move up.”
The 15-minute chart from Binance shows the digital asset’s price compressing between a descending trendline overhead and a rising trendline below, a structure consistent with a symmetrical wedge.

XRP Key Levels to Watch
The asset recently fell below the bottom trendline of this wedge, but rebounded sharply from a demand zone near $2.77, rising to $3.09, and it is now headed for the upper trendline.
The Fibonacci extension levels on the chart also mark short-term supports at $3.06 (Fib. 0.118), $3.03 (Fib. 0.236), and $2.979 (Fib. 0.382), with a deeper backstop near $2.7685 (Fib. 0.5).
One of the primary drivers for this sharp rebound was the resolution of Ripple’s legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). If the asset can sustain its momentum and break through the wedge’s upper trendline, it could enter a new price discovery phase and experience the massive move Pantoja predicts.

XRP’s Next Targets
The target zones cluster around $3.168, $3.206, and $3.219. With the chart’s current price shown at $3.0913, those objectives sit reasonably higher. A move to $3.1679 represents a gain of about 2.48%. A push to $3.2061 represents a gain of about 3.71%, and reaching $3.2191 represents a gain of about 4.13%.
All three targets sit above the upper trendline, and reaching these levels could signal a new phase of growth for XRP. Short-term risk also appears on the chart. RSI is shown at 78.75, an overbought level that often precedes cooling before continuation.
That could produce a pullback toward $3.06 or $3.03 without invalidating the structure. If buyers defend those retracement bands and the rising lower trendline, a breakout through the upper boundary would keep the higher targets in play.
Pantoja’s post places a bullish lens on a wedge that has compressed price action into a narrow range, and the analyst is confident that a breakout and another bullish phase are imminent.
