XRP’s Significant Upswing Predicted for 2026, Analyst Highlights Conditions
The pseudonymous analyst Dr Cat predicts a significant upswing for XRP against Bitcoin by 2026, based on Ichimoku chart analysis.
- XRP/BTC is expected to experience a major increase around early 2026 if key Ichimoku conditions are satisfied.
- The Chikou Span needs to clear historical candles and the Tenkan-sen line for a confirmed trend shift.
- A critical support level is set at approximately 2,442 sats (0.00002442 BTC).
- If this condition holds, XRP/BTC could target resistance levels between 7,000 and 12,000 sats in 2026.
Potential risks include a bearish kumo twist on the weekly chart, which could indicate temporary momentum loss if new yearly highs aren't reached before November/December 2025.
- Current XRP price approximates to $3.119.
- The satoshi-denominated targets depend on Bitcoin’s USD price.
The forecast emphasizes the importance of time-based triggers over immediate price movements, predicting potential resistance tests only after early 2026.
