Crypto influencer Ash Crypto has suggested that XRP could climb toward $2 once it breaks above a resistance level that has capped its price for several months.
“Once it breaks, $2 will be easy,” Ash Crypto wrote, pointing to the prolonged resistance that XRP has struggled to overcome.
The accompanying chart identifies a multi-month resistance zone around $1.52 to $1.55, where several previous attempts to push higher have failed. XRP remains below this ceiling, leaving a breakout as a key condition for the bullish outlook.
At press time, XRP is trading at $1.27, down 3.4% over the past 24 hours and 14% over the past month.
XRP Faces Key Resistance Near $1.55
The chart shows XRP declining from around $2 at the beginning of 2026 before falling toward the $1.00 region in the summer. The token subsequently staged a rebound, briefly returning to the $1.50 to $1.70 area before encountering selling pressure.
XRP has since pulled back toward $1.30, with the latest candles showing it trading around $1.27–$1.32 on the chart. The marked resistance zone near 1.52–1.55 remains the main barrier separating the current price from a sustained move higher.
A decisive break above this zone would put XRP in a position to challenge higher price levels, with $2 representing Ash Crypto’s next major target. From $1.27, a move to $2 would require a gain of approximately 57%.
However, XRP must first overcome the overhead supply that has repeatedly limited its advances. Failure to break through could leave it trading below resistance or expose it to another pullback.
Can XRP Reach $2?
The chart also highlights curved markings around previous price lows, including the summer bottom near $0.97 and more recent lows around $1.25. These formations suggest attempts to establish higher lows after the summer rebound.
For the bullish scenario to strengthen, XRP would need to maintain its recent lows and regain ground toward the $1.50 resistance zone. A breakout above that range would provide further evidence that buyers are overcoming the selling pressure that has constrained the token for months.
Ultimately, the $2 target remains conditional on XRP clearing the multi-month resistance rather than an established price trajectory.
Break Above $1.65 to Confirm a Bottom
In a recent analysis, XRP commentator Casi Trades argues the token must break above $1.65 to confirm its recent bottom. At the time, XRP traded around $1.33 price after falling from its September peak near $1.65. The token found support around $1.27, which aligns with a key Fibonacci retracement and the analyst’s Elliott Wave target.
Now, Casi identified $1.65 as the critical resistance level. A breakout could open the way toward $2.40 as part of a potential Wave 3 advance. Before reaching that threshold, XRP must overcome intermediate resistance levels near $1.35, $1.40, $1.55, and $1.58.
However, the analyst warned that bottom formation takes time and XRP could retest $1.27 support. If that level breaks, downside targets include $1.10 and potentially $0.87.
