Cubic Analytics Founder Predicts Three XRP Price Targets Using Fibonacci Extensions

The founder of Cubic Analytics has shared his XRP price targets using Fibonacci extension levels amid the ongoing price struggles.

For context, since dropping from its $3.66 peak in July, XRP has struggled to find a solid footing despite brief recovery attempts. Over the past week, the broader crypto market has entered an impressive rebound phase, but the token has seen bearish pressure.

While Bitcoin (BTC) and BNB recently hit new all-time highs, XRP remained stuck near the $3 level. Meanwhile, as the broader market’s latest rally started to cool off, it slipped further to $2.85, with retail FUD hitting a 6-month high.

XRP Now in a Coiling Phase

Amid the recent decline, Caleb Franzen, founder of Cubic Analytics, shared his outlook for XRP during an episode of the Thinking Crypto podcast hosted by Tony Edward. 

Speaking on the current price action, Franzen described XRP’s movement as “super coiling,” suggesting that the token might be building up energy for a strong move upward. 

He reviewed XRP’s performance from December 2024 through July 2025, explaining that it had been forming a series of higher highs during that period.

For context, XRP first reached $2.9 in early December 2024 before correcting. After that dip, it rebounded to a higher high of $3.4 in mid-January 2025. Interestingly, another pullback followed, but XRP later climbed again to hit $3.66 in July 2025. 

XRP Price Targets

Meanwhile, over the past few months, from July to October, the market has tightened, showing lower highs. Franzen believes this pattern indicates a healthy cooldown before the next upward move.

Franzen then presented a set of XRP price targets using Fibonacci extension levels. Specifically, the 161.8% extension points to $4.40, while the 261.8% level suggests a potential rise to $6. However, when he applied the same method to the major consolidation between the first-quarter highs and lows, he identified even higher targets of $5.40 and $11.55. 

He stressed that these levels remain valid as long as XRP holds above $2.68, which he sees as a crucial support point. If the price falls below this mark, he said traders should treat it as a bullish invalidation, meaning it could be wise to reduce exposure or slow down dollar-cost averaging. 

Analysts Discuss XRP Short-Term Price Action

While Franzen’s analysis leans bullish, other analysts see the short-term outlook differently. For instance, DustyBC said XRP showed a temporary wave of bearish sentiment after rallying over the past few days. 

He linked the pullback to the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) strength and said a correction was a normal part of market behavior after a rally. According to him, XRP’s price has moved back into a support range between $2.8 and $2.9, an area he had previously marked on his chart. 

DustyBC explained that wave (E) in the current pattern remains unfinished until the price breaks above wave (D) and advised traders to manage risk carefully while watching how the market develops.

Meanwhile, Lark Davis also said XRP continues to struggle each time it tests its descending resistance line. He noted that a breakout above the descending triangle near $3 could lead to a move toward $4. 

However, he warned that if XRP fails again, traders should watch the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $2.94 for possible support. So far, XRP has already dipped below the 20-day EMA but still holds above the $2.8 psychological level.

Further, Matt Hughes commended XRP’s ability to stay firm at support despite volatility. He said the token only needs a bit more time before showing its next big move. Hughes said he expects a strong breakout once XRP clears the $3.21 resistance area.
