Higher

ChartNerd (@ChartNerdTA), a well-respected crypto analyst, has shared a long-term XRP chart highlighting a confluence between Fibonacci extensions and a developing Elliott Wave structure. The chart focuses on the weekly XRP/USD pair and maps out a structure that could send XRP to $27.
Rather than reacting to short-term volatility, the chart centers on a large cup and handle pattern that unfolded over an extended period. XRP’s rise to its <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-cto-clarifies-discrepancy-about-xrp-price-all-time-high/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">all-time high in July 2025</a> marked the completion of the cup. What followed was a controlled decline that persisted through the remainder of 2025.
That decline formed the handle portion of the pattern. This extended consolidation also aligned with corrective wave behavior on the <a href="https://timestabloid.com/elliott-wave-analyst-xrp-is-about-to-teleport-to-6-9-heres-why/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Elliott Wave pattern</a> shown on the chart.

<h2 id="strong-cup-and-handle-structure-aligns-with-wave-2-completion-strong">Cup and Handle Structure Aligns With Wave 2 Completion</h2>
According to the labeling on ChartNerd’s chart, XRP completed a macro Wave 1 advance before entering a prolonged Wave 2 correction. The handle phase coincides with this corrective move. XRP respected multiple Fibonacci retracement levels during the decline, including the 61.80% and 78.60% zones.
The chart also marks an 88.70% retracement near $1.84, which acts as a key invalidation level. Despite multiple <a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-flash-crash-where-price-could-go-from-here/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">dips below this level</a>, XRP quickly recovered and continued within the handle pattern. With XRP near the end of the cup, a confirmed breakout would signal the transition from Wave 2 into Wave 3.
<h2 id="strong-wave-3-targets-point-to-double-digit-levels-strong">Wave 3 Targets Point to Double-Digit Levels</h2>
Wave 3 is typically the strongest impulse in Elliott Wave theory. ChartNerd’s chart projects Wave 3 targets using Fibonacci extensions from the prior impulse. The first major extension sits at 161.80%, placing the price near $5.59. Higher extensions cluster around $7.17 and $13.45, based on the 261.80% and intermediate projections marked on the chart.

These levels align with Wave 3, reinforcing the analyst’s view that a breakout from the handle would represent a major move. The chart shows no intermediate resistance zones between the breakout area and those targets, which supports the idea of <a href="https://timestabloid.com/finance-expert-next-xrp-breakout-will-be-legendary-heres-why/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a sharp expansion phase</a> if momentum enters the market.
<h2 id="strong-wave-5-and-the-27-macro-target-strong">Wave 5 and the $27 Macro Target</h2>
Beyond Wave 3, the chart extends projections into Wave 5. Fibonacci extensions between 161.80% and 261.80% place final targets in the $19 to $28 range. The upper projection aligns with the $27 macro target referenced in ChartNerd’s post.
Wave 4 is projected as a consolidation zone between Wave 3 and Wave 5, with retracement levels marked near $4.15 and $6.14. That range suggests volatility but not structural failure if XRP reaches it after a Wave 3 advance.
