XRP Retests Long-Term Breakout Zone: $8–$10 Targets Now in Clear View

XRP's price action just triggered a technical alarm heard across trading desks.

The digital asset is currently retesting a major breakout zone—a level that previously confined its price for years. This isn't just another minor pullback; it's a critical stress test for the bull case.

Why This Retest Matters

In technical analysis, a successful retest of a broken resistance level often transforms that old ceiling into a new floor. It confirms the breakout's strength and sets the stage for the next leg up. Failure here, however, could see the asset slide back into its former range, disappointing the bulls—and the legion of retail investors still waiting for their 2017-era dreams to materialize.

Targets Come Into Sharp Focus

With the long-term structure potentially reaffirmed, those ambitious price targets of $8 to $10 are no longer just hopeful scribbles on a chart. They become the logical next destinations if buying pressure holds this key zone. It's a move that would require significant capital inflow, of course—something traditional finance still claims is in short supply while quietly building its own positions.

The path ahead is binary: consolidate above the breakout and rally, or break down and regroup. For now, the charts are whispering about a much higher floor. Whether the market listens is another story—one that usually involves more volatility and emotional trading than any sane wealth manager would recommend.

XRP Retests Rare 8-Year Breakout

A crypto analyst, Crypto Patel, highlighted that XRP is still retesting a significant breakout, which took about eight years to develop. Such lengthy formations are a rare occurrence, which often represent a significant point during a trading cycle. Patel said, “When XRP showed a similar formation back in 2017, it resulted in a dramatic explosion of nearly 40,000%.”

In technical analysis, it still appears to be a constructive pattern. XRP has already broken out and established a breakout pattern and is currently down by around 57% from its recent record high price. Currently, it is trading inside its support range from $2.00 to $1.50 per XRP. Stronger support is established from $1.00 to $0.80 per XRP.

Assuming XRP maintains respect for these levels, the long-term price trend appears bright. Crypto Patel indicates a possibility of a cycle target of $8 to $10, with a prospect of reaching up to $10 to $20 if market conditions permit. Though it WOULD form a smaller multiple compared to the 2017 market performance, it would indeed be a huge movement from the current market.

XRP Short-Term Trend Remains Unclear

Another analyst, CRYPTOWZRD, shared a more short-term perspective and pointed out that XRP and XRP/BTC charts were unclear at close. In his explanation, XRP needs to MOVE higher to regain its momentum as it has had uneven price action over intraday charts. Breaking below support at $1.9750 and then distinctly rebounding may provide an opportunity to form another long position.

On the daily chart, CRYPTOWZRD notes that there are still a lot of bullish candles that can help improve the position of XRP. The future of XRP rests on the performance of Bitcoin. As long as it stays above $2.0000, it would be in good shape, targeting $2.7500 or higher. Below $2.0000 could be a problem.

XRP Intraday Moves Upward

XRP’s intraday trading continues to be a gradual move upwards as XRP rallies above $1.9750. Should the level of support hold through a subsequent retest, it might ignite further buy interest. Analysts are looking to the weekly changeover.

The current proximity of XRP to its major levels means that the long-term market structure, combined with the short-term market indicators, suggests the next market direction could emerge within the next few days.
