A prominent supporter of Jake Claver on X has published a chart analysis comparing XRP’s potential 2026 price action to its historic rally in 2024. According to the post, the patterns appear nearly identical, fueling speculation among XRP investors.
Descending triangle pattern observed again
The fan account highlighted a descending triangle on both the 2024 and 2026 XRP charts. In 2024, XRP registered two clear lows inside a narrowing triangle and pressed against long-term support before staging a dramatic upside move.
During that period, XRP surged from $0.50 to more than $3 within several weeks, representing a gain of over 500%. The 2026 chart appears to be replicating this structure, once again displaying two lows within a descending triangle, both marked with green circles on the shared chart.
The second low for 2026 emerged as XRP dipped below $1 in August. The price then rebounded sharply, rising by more than 50% within just a few days. However, the asset remains within the triangle formation, and the chart indicates that there could be one final test of the lower boundary before another significant breakout, mirroring the previous cycle.

AAPLMini dictionary: Descending triangle, a technical analysis chart pattern defined by a horizontal support line and a downward-sloping resistance line. Traders commonly watch for a breakout from this structure, which can indicate a strong price movement in the direction of the breakout.
In the post, readers were encouraged to “Imagine XRP at $20,” suggesting that 5,000 XRP could be valued at $100,000 if the asset follows the projected path.
Projection and analysis for 2026
The chart’s detailed structure points to the importance of the retest. Many analysts previously predicted that XRP would drop below $1 in 2026, which recently occurred before the asset staged a rapid recovery. The analysis suggests that a more substantial move could occur before any decisive breakout.
The projection line on the shared chart targets the $4 range as an initial upside objective. The $20 target, discussed in the account’s post, represents a far more optimistic scenario, and is tied to continued positive developments for the XRP ecosystem.
| Year | Pattern Observed | Initial Price | Peak Price | Price Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Descending triangle | $0.50 | $3 | $3+ |
| 2026 (Projected) | Descending triangle | $1 | Not reached | $4–$20 |
The account linked the $20 price target to the scenario in which Ripple, the company behind the asset, prevails in its ongoing initiatives, suggesting holders of 5,000 XRP could benefit from significant gains.
Ripple’s role in the projection
Ripple, known for its work in payments technology and blockchain solutions, continues to expand institutional infrastructure and promote XRP’s use cases globally. The community’s enthusiasm for such a steep price rise rests partly on the belief that regulatory outcomes and institutional adoption will foster new highs.
The post described the possibility that with Ripple’s progress, XRP holders could see their holdings surge in value and called XRP “the next big thing,” framing the asset as a potential opportunity for early investors.
Community expectations draw on the price explosion observed in 2024, with many investors monitoring technical signals for a repeat performance.
