A recent post by crypto media outlet TheCryptoBasic focused on a chart comparison between XRP and Amazon, with market analyst Chart Nerd suggesting that XRP may be approaching a critical stage in its long-term price cycle.
The analysis suggested that XRP’s current structure resembles Amazon’s setup before the company entered a major breakout phase after years of consolidation.
The image shared alongside the post compared XRP’s price action with Amazon’s movement between 1998 and 2009. According to the analysis, both assets spent years trading beneath a major resistance level while maintaining a rising support trendline underneath price action.
For XRP, the chart identified the area around $3.50 as an “8-year resistance.” The structure also showed several higher lows forming over time, which Chart Nerd presented as evidence of long-term strength despite repeated rejections near resistance.

The chart also suggested that XRP may not be ready for an immediate breakout. Instead, Chart Nerd indicated that the asset could experience one final move lower toward support before beginning a <a href="https://timestabloid.com/egrag-crypto-to-xrp-holders-next-major-rally-is-closer-pressure-is-building-heres-why/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">larger upward trend.</a>
The highlighted section on the XRP chart showed a pullback developing after a rejection near resistance. According to the post, this possible retest could occur before a breakout attempt takes shape in 2026.
TheCryptoBasic stated in the X post that <a href="https://timestabloid.com/pundit-says-xrp-will-be-the-biggest-missed-opportunity-of-our-lifetime-heres-why/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> has “spent years respecting a rising support trendline while repeatedly struggling to break through a major resistance ceiling.” The post compared this movement directly to Amazon’s historical setup before the stock eventually pushed above its long-standing resistance area.
The comparison suggested that <a href="https://timestabloid.com/amazon-wsp-we-have-someone-dedicated-to-look-for-how-xrp-can-be-used-in-payments/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Amazon</a> followed a nearly identical structure before entering a powerful repricing phase after finally clearing resistance.

The analysis also included a projection tied to Amazon’s historical growth following its breakout. According to TheCryptoBasic, Amazon rallied roughly 5,660% after moving above its decade-long resistance zone.
The post stated that if XRP were to mirror the same percentage increase from the resistance area near $3.50, the asset could eventually reach approximately $202 per coin.
While the projection remains speculative, the comparison focused heavily on the similarity between the two long-term chart structures rather than short-term price action.

An X user identified as Miles Nadimian also responded to the post, shifting the conversation toward the long-term role of digital assets in finance.
<a href="https://x.com/milesnadimian/status/2054222546619232717?s=46" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">According</a> to Nadimian, the key issue is not whether XRP repeats Amazon’s exact percentage gains. Instead, he argued that the market may eventually value digital asset infrastructure based on utility, liquidity, regulation, and institutional integration rather than speculation alone.
His comment reflected the view of some market participants who believe assets connected to <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-named-among-top-100-cross-border-payment-companies-for-2025/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cross-border payments</a> and financial infrastructure could see stronger long-term valuation support if institutional adoption continues to grow.
The discussion surrounding the chart comparison comes as XRP trades below its long-standing resistance level, with analysts closely monitoring whether the asset can maintain its higher low structure ahead of any future breakout attempt.
