XRP could be setting up for a sharp move that catches some traders off guard, with market watchers focused on the next major breakout and price reaction.
Analyst Ray, known as @moonbag on X, a Finance and Crypto trader, believes XRP is preparing for a monumental price move.
In a recent post, Ray said to his 189K followers that XRP will “make some people upset when it pumps hard,” signaling his expectation of a dramatic rally that could catch some investors off guard. His view implies those not buying XRP at current lows may regret it when the explosive rally commences.
Notably, Ray did not provide a specific price target or timeline, but his TradingView chart highlights $2 and $4 as key upside levels.
XRP Chart Shows Price Targets
The chart shows XRP in a long downtrend that began after its July 2025 rally. XRP moved lower for several months, forming lower highs and lower lows. In May 2026, it broke below the downtrend channel before entering a period of sideways trading.
The price then held mostly between $1.00 and $1.20, with $1.00 acting as support throughout the summer.
In August, XRP briefly lost the $1 support level and dipped as low as $0.978 on the Bybit exchange and $0.93 on the Bitrue exchange. However, days later, XRP began moving higher and reached nearly $1.70 in the third week of August.
But that rally did not last. The coin gave back most of its gains and dipped back to $1.246 from around $1.70.
Meanwhile, in September, XRP’s price advance has been more gradual, as it has now risen above $1.50, forming support around the $1.40 to $1.50 range.
The move signals renewed buying interest after the prolonged decline. Meanwhile, Ray’s chart identifies $2.60 as a recovery target and $4 as a more ambitious upside target.
XRP’s recent bounce has strengthened expectations of a more significant price move in the coming weeks. However, the next phase depends on whether buyers can maintain enough momentum to push the price higher.
XRP Price in Three Years
Meanwhile, as the wait for XRP to surge continues, ambitious price outlooks are already circulating in the community.
Software engineer Vincent Van Code argued this week that XRP could reach $100 or more within the next three years.
He says XRP would not rise straight to $100. Instead, he expects the price to move up and down sharply while generally trending higher over time.
Van Code compares XRP’s potential growth to that of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which experienced major price increases as adoption and investor interest grew.
He believes XRP’s current price does not necessarily reflect what it could be worth in the future. Increased adoption, real-world use, institutional investment, and easier access to XRP could drive demand higher.
However, $100 is only his personal expectation, not a guarantee. With about 63 billion XRP currently in circulation, XRP at $100 would give it a market value of around $6.3 trillion. That would require a huge increase in demand and liquidity.
