Crypto analyst CW, posting on X, flagged a bullish candlestick formation on the XRP/USD 3W chart that he says signals the opening of a full-scale uptrend. One that, if his cycle analysis holds, with the setup pointing first to a retest of the all-time high zone and then, in an extreme scenario, to $21.5.
New Uptrend Is Starting On The 3-Week Chart
It is important to note that the rally hasn’t kicked off yet, and XRP is still looking to solidify a break above $1.4. Also, indicators are yet to print full-scale uptrend signals, but according to the analyst, these bullish reversal signals will appear soon.
Multi-Phase Cycle That Sends XRP Price To $21.5The chart attached to the analysis lays out two cycle structures divided into four separate phases. In the first cycle, Phase 1 was the initial markup, Phase 2 a massive correction, Phase 3 a prolonged descending consolidation inside a symmetrical triangle, and Phase 4 was a breakout.
The technical analysis places the current cycle as tracing the same sequence almost precisely. Phase 2 printed as the post-2021 bear market decline, Phase 3 as the multi-year compression between 2022 and 2024, and the surge to $3.65 as the first part of Phase 4 in the new cycle.
XRP is now, by this reading, still playing out Phase 4 into a move that overshoots everything that came before, despite being down by about 62% from its all-time high price. Interestingly, the chart also labels the first upside objective as a return to this all-time high.
