XRP Price Analysis: Relief Rally to $2 Expected Before Deeper Drop, Charts Warn

XRP has fallen over 60% from its 2025 peak and sentiment across social media is turning increasingly bearish. the charts are telling a more nuanced story, and that the real danger may not be the current drop, but the rally that comes next.

Using the two-week Gaussian channel, a trend indicator that has accurately mapped every major XRP cycle since 2013, the analyst notes a striking pattern that has repeated without exception across every peak in XRP’s history.

Every single time XRP has topped out from a major cycle high and fallen back into the channel’s green zone, it has always, without exception, drifted to the lower end of that channel before finding a real bottom.

It happened after the 2013 peak, the 2017 peak, and the 2021 peak. Now, following the 2025 high, XRP has once again re-entered that same green zone, currently sitting around $1.37. The lower end of the channel sits near $0.90.

Before reaching that lower target, the charts point to a short-term relief rally. Here is what to expect and why it could be dangerous:

The analyst is direct about it. A move back toward $2.00 or even $2.40 would pull in buyers who mistake relief for recovery. Those buyers could be left exposed when the next leg down arrives.

XRP held above $1.80 level for over 400 days before losing it in January. That former support is now resistance. If XRP cannot reclaim it convincingly, the path toward $0.70 later in 2026 remains very much open.
