XRP Is Set for a $2 Move as Bullish Chart Pattern Forms

XRP is targeting $2 if it completes a bullish chart pattern, according to crypto analyst Ali Martinez.

Martinez says XRP is forming an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern on the daily chart. The key level to watch is around $1.55, known as the neckline.

A break above $1.55 confirms the pattern and sets up a 35% rise toward $2. Martinez also sees room for XRP to move higher.

At the time of the cited CoinMarketCap data, XRP was trading around $1.31, up 1.75% for the day. It was still down 0.35% over the past week but had gained about 30% over the past month.

$1.55 Is the Key XRP Level

Martinez’s chart shows XRP forming an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, with the right shoulder still developing. The key level is $1.55, which has acted as a major resistance level before. XRP needs to break above $1.55 for the pattern to be confirmed.

Martinez expects XRP to first move toward $1.55, followed by moves to $1.70, $1.90, and eventually around $2.10. From the cited price of $1.31, reaching $2 represents about a 53% increase. Martinez’s 35% gain is calculated from the $1.55 breakout level to around $2.09.

XRP TARGETS $2

On the daily chart, $XRP appears to be forming the right shoulder of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern.

If the setup continues to develop, I’m watching for a move toward the neckline near $1.55.

That’s the key level.

ChartNerd Watches $1.33 Support

Meanwhile, another analyst, ChartNerd, is also watching XRP’s current price area. ChartNerd says XRP bounced after touching its 20-week moving average and returned to the middle of its price channel and the previous $1.33–$1.36 support zone.

This area is important because it becomes resistance if XRP fails to move back above it.

If XRP fails to reclaim $1.33–$1.36, the next challenge is the downward resistance line. For now, XRP is at an important level, trading just below the previous $1.33–$1.36 range.

Martinez Previously Watched $1.38

Five days earlier, Martinez pointed to another bullish setup while XRP was trading around $1.31–$1.35. He said XRP would continue moving within a triangle pattern as long as the $1.31–$1.35 support zone held.

He identified $1.38 as the key breakout level. A strong move above $1.38 would push XRP toward $1.60. His latest analysis now focuses on the higher $1.55 level, showing XRP has several levels to break before moving toward $2.

The main levels to watch are:

• $1.31–$1.35: Immediate support zone
• $1.38: Near-term breakout level
• $1.55: Key neckline for the larger pattern

According to Martinez’s analysis, breaking above $1.55 opens the way toward $2.
