XRP is currently trading at $1.36, reflecting a 1.63% increase over the past week. This moderate rise stands in sharp contrast to one analyst’s bold forecast for much higher prices.

Analyst projects new all time high

Crypto Captain, who posts technical analyses under the handle @UniverseTwenty, has released a projection suggesting that XRP could reach $22 per coin. He warned that the route toward this level will be marked by dramatic price swings, both upward and downward.

In a statement shared on social media, Crypto Captain described the potential price action:

Huge volatility ahead before reaching $22 per coin, with significant up and down swings. This scenario implies new all time highs are on the horizon.

According to David Schwartz, Ripple CTO Emeritus, the asset’s current record stands at $3.65. XRP reached this all time high in July 2025 and has not approached the level since.

Should Crypto Captain’s $22 target be met, this would constitute a price gain of more than 1,500% compared to its present value.

Technical outlook and chart patterns

The analysis shared by Crypto Captain centers on the weekly chart for XRP on the Bitstamp exchange, spanning from July 2025 to a projected period approaching 2027. The chart features numerous Fibonacci extension levels, with the 1.618 level placed around $8.15, the 1.272 near $5, the 0.786 at about $3, and the 0.382 close to $1.75.

A descending yellow trendline, connecting lower highs from mid-2025 through late 2026, represents a significant resistance zone. XRP consolidated for a prolonged period beneath this barrier until a breakout occurred in late August, propelling the price above the trendline.

Fibonacci Level Approximate Price 1.618 $8.15 1.272 $5.00 0.786 $3.00 0.382 $1.75

Potential trajectory and key levels

According to the analyst’s outlined roadmap, XRP is once again testing the top of the descending trendline. If this level holds as support, the analyst suggests the price could accelerate toward the previously cited targets.

The projected price action begins with XRP moving above $2, briefly pulling back to establish support, then spiking toward $8.15 in line with the 1.618 Fibonacci extension. A sharp retracement to $2 is expected before the asset climbs rapidly to $10.50, dips to $8.15 again, and finally targets the $22 level.

While volatility is anticipated, the trendline breakout is viewed as a pivotal technical event. Crypto Captain’s outlook indicates that swift rallies and steep corrections may characterize the path upward, but $22 remains the final long-term target far above current levels.
