XRP Price Could Be Preparing for the Move Everyone Has Been Waiting For!

The XRP price has spent the past few days doing very little, trading around $1.40–$1.42 after last week’s volatility. XRP closed around $1.40 on September 4, $1.41 on September 5 and $1.42 on September 6, before trading near $1.41 on Sunday.

The quiet price action hasn’t stopped members of the XRP community from becoming increasingly bullish about what could come next.

Analyst Celal Küçüker believes XRP’s technical structure is pointing toward $2.30, while EGRAG Crypto is looking much further ahead. His macro Elliott Wave framework places the first major Wave 5 target between $6.19 and $8.07, with more aggressive extensions reaching $11, $17 and potentially beyond.

The two analyses operate on very different timeframes, but they have something in common: both see the current XRP price as potentially sitting well below the next important upside targets.

Celal Küçüker Says $2.30 XRP Could Come Sooner Than Expected

Celal Küçüker described XRP’s current setup as looking “amazing,” arguing that multiple technical formations are pointing toward approximately the same target.

His chart provides some context for why he’s watching $2.30–$2.35.

XRP is currently around $1.41, with the chart showing a long descending trendline that began around the July 2025 highs. Price spent much of 2026 underneath that line before rebounding aggressively from the area around $0.99.

The most important immediate area on Küçüker’s chart sits around $1.50–$1.55.

That zone previously acted as support and resistance, and XRP is now trading just underneath it. The analyst’s projected path doesn’t show price immediately exploding toward $2.30. Instead, it anticipates some consolidation around this area before a larger advance.

There is also a rounded recovery structure visible around the $0.99 bottom. Küçüker draws a curved path from that low toward the current price, followed by a projected continuation higher.

His eventual target sits at approximately $2.337, corresponding with another major horizontal resistance area.

From $1.41, reaching $2.34 would require an advance of roughly 66%.

However, the $1.50–$1.55 region is important. XRP hasn’t cleared it convincingly yet. A rejection there could delay Küçüker’s bullish scenario and leave price trading inside its existing range.

The chart also makes the downside level fairly obvious. The approximately $0.99 area formed the base for the latest recovery. A return below that zone would severely weaken the bullish structure presented here.

EGRAG Crypto Sees a Much Bigger XRP Move

While Küçüker is concentrating on a potential move toward $2.30, EGRAG Crypto is examining XRP from a much longer timeframe.

His analysis uses a three-month chart and combines Elliott Wave structure with Fibonacci measurements.

EGRAG argues that XRP is entering (or preparing to enter) a large-degree Wave 5 within a multi-year impulse structure.

Under Elliott Wave theory, an impulse generally consists of five waves, with Waves 1, 3 and 5 moving in the direction of the larger trend. EGRAG’s thesis is that XRP has already completed the earlier stages and that the final major advance could still be ahead.

According to his calculations, Wave 1 produced approximately 225%, while Wave 3 returned somewhere around 300%–365%.

He then combines measurements from those earlier advances with Fibonacci extensions to identify areas where several calculations converge.

The first major area comes at $6.19–$8.07.

EGRAG sees that as the initial Wave 5 target zone rather than necessarily the end of the entire move.

Above it, his next major extension sits around $11.45, followed by a cycle expansion area above $13. If momentum becomes considerably stronger, his framework allows for approximately $17 or higher.

His most aggressive macro scenario reaches beyond $27.

Those numbers become enormous when compared with today’s XRP price.

From roughly $1.41, $6.19 would represent about a 339% increase, while $8.07 would require approximately 472%. Reaching $11.45 would mean roughly an eightfold price increase, while $17 would put XRP at about 12 times its current value.

The $27 scenario would require an advance of more than 1,800%.

That makes an important distinction necessary: these aren’t forecasts with equal probability.

EGRAG’s $6.19–$8.07 range represents his first major macro target area. The $11.45, $13, $17 and $27 levels are progressively more aggressive extensions that depend on the Wave 5 thesis continuing and XRP maintaining enough strength to reach those higher Fibonacci areas.

Another current report covering EGRAG’s analysis similarly identifies $6.19–$8.07 as the first major zone and notes that resistance and profit-taking could emerge there before any attempt at higher extensions.

XRP Has More Immediate Catalysts to Watch

Technical analysts may be concentrating on $2.30 and eventually $6–$8, but XRP also has several fundamental developments unfolding in the background.

One is the CLARITY Act.

A procedural Senate vote had been lined up for September 15 as lawmakers continued working on legislation intended to establish clearer boundaries between U.S. regulators overseeing digital assets. That timetable has now encountered another delay, according to reports published this weekend.

Interestingly, XRP hasn’t reacted dramatically to the latest regulatory uncertainty. Price has remained around $1.40–$1.42.

That muted reaction may indicate that traders aren’t treating one procedural date as decisive for XRP’s immediate direction. Even if market-structure legislation eventually advances, the final rules, amendments and implementation would matter more than a single Senate procedural event.

ETF demand provides another part of the story.

U.S. spot XRP ETFs have accumulated substantial inflows since launch, with cumulative flows recently reported above $1.7 billion. The roughly $19 million of net inflows reported for the latest week would therefore represent continued positive demand, although it is modest compared with the cumulative total.

ETF inflows also shouldn’t be interpreted as proof that XRP must rise immediately. They provide another source of demand, but price still depends on selling pressure, broader crypto conditions and liquidity across the market.

What Needs to Happen Before XRP Can Reach $2.30 – Let Alone $8?

The bullish targets are exciting, but XRP has several much smaller battles to win first.

At approximately $1.41, the immediate challenge on Küçüker’s chart is the $1.50–$1.55 resistance area. A convincing move through that region would strengthen the case that the recovery from roughly $0.99 has further to run.

From there, XRP would still have to work through the territory separating current prices from Küçüker’s approximately $2.34 target.

Only after those nearer resistance levels are cleared does it make sense to give EGRAG’s much larger macro targets greater attention.

Our view is that Küçüker’s $2.30 target is currently the more useful roadmap for traders, simply because it deals with the structure directly above today’s price. EGRAG’s $6–$8 range is better viewed as a macro bull-cycle scenario that becomes increasingly relevant if XRP first establishes a sustainable higher trend.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive.

In fact, Küçüker’s projected $2.34 move could theoretically become one of the earlier stages of the much larger advance EGRAG expects.

For now, however, XRP remains around $1.40.
