Crypto Michael Explains Why He’s Still Long on XRP Since Last Month

Crypto Michael Keeps XRP Long Open After July Accumulation Call.

Crypto trader Crypto Michael, who has about 126,000 followers on X, says he is still holding an XRP leveraged long position opened last month. The latest position screenshot shows an XRPUSDT perpetual contract using 20x leverage, with an entry price of $0.9918 and a mark price of $1.4036.

The screenshot, timestamped September 19, 2026, displays a return of +830.51% on the leveraged position. The percentage shown represents the leveraged position return rather than XRP’s underlying spot-price increase.

XRP Has Risen More Than 40% From the Entry Price

Using the figures displayed in the position screenshot, XRP increased from the $0.9918 entry to $1.4036, a difference of $0.4118 per XRP.

That represents an underlying price increase of approximately 41.5%. With 20x leverage, changes in XRP’s price produce substantially larger percentage changes in the position’s displayed return.

Michael said in his latest post that he remains in the XRP long and expects the move to accelerate, telling followers that they “don’t want to be sidelined.”

Those statements represent his forecast, rather than an established future XRP price.

July XRP Chart Showed Falling-Wedge Structure

The position follows an earlier XRP call published on July 1, 2026, when Michael wrote: “I’ve been accumulating XRP here. You’re about to see why.”

His July weekly chart showed XRP around $1.06, trading near the bottom of a large falling-wedge structure that had developed after XRP’s decline from above $3. The chart also highlighted a major historical price zone around $1.90–$2.10.

Contemporary reporting on his July analysis recorded $1.90–$2.10 as his next target zone. XRP was trading around $1.15 at the time of that subsequent report.

XRP Position Remains Open Above $1.40

The two screenshots document the sequence from the July accumulation statement to the September leveraged position: XRP near $1.06 on the July chart, a $0.9918 long entry, and a September mark price of $1.4036.

That puts XRP roughly 41.5% above the stated entry price, while the displayed 20x leveraged position shows +830.51%. The position screenshot indicates the trade remained open as of September 19, 2026.
