Analyst maps XRP 2026 path: $5 rise, $0.78 drop, $27

Analyst CryptoBull maps an XRP path to $27 after a weak start to 2026. The roadmap lays out five waves on the weekly chart, with $5 first, then a deep pullback, then a breakout.

XRP opened 2026 with two red months. NewsBTC flagged the weak start and stalled momentum earlier in Q1 here. XRP fans now watch a new five‑wave projection from CryptoBull on X here.

The setup is a broadening A–E “megaphone” on the weekly chart. Waves A and B are in. Wave C is pressing the lower trendline after a slide from the July 2025 $3.65 high shown on the chart source.

Roadmap highlights:

• Wave C risk to $1.10 for a double bottom source. An expert also flags Bitcoin as the main threat in this phase source.
• Wave D advance to $5 at the upper boundary source.
• Wave E pullback to $0.78, then a breakout targeting $27 source.

The call is purely technical. It does not factor XRP fundamentals or any TradFi initiatives source, source. The chart is weekly (Bitstamp) and stretches into late 2026 and beyond source. “Not a trade for the impatient,” notes Bitcoinist source.

Market now: XRP trades near $1.37, down 1.9% on the day, per the article’s timestamp source.
