Analyst targets XRP $8.6 after breakout by December 2026
Analyst maps a path to $8.6 for XRP after two more swings. The setup follows a 9‑month falling channel.
Celal Kucuker tracks a descending channel from July 2025’s $3.6 peak. Two targets he posted have played out: a move to $2.4 in January, then a drop to $1.1 in early February. Source: Kucuker’s chart and roadmap.
He outlines two steps before any breakout:
- Bounce toward $1.8, a retest of the upper trendline link
- Pullback to ~$0.9 at the lower boundary link
Only then does he see an upside break. His target is $8.6 between September and December 2026, implying ~330% from the projected breakout level. He bases this on a prior move: a ~330% rally after a similar channel break in November 2024 that topped near $3.4 in January 2025. Source: Kucuker’s chart.
The backdrop is weak. Global crypto market cap is down ~18% since January to about $2.4T, per CoinMarketCap.
Kucuker does not set dates for the near-term $1.8 and $0.9 moves. As of March 14, he notes price action still inside the channel, with the $1.8 retest ahead link.
