Analyst Reveals How High XRP Price Can Go This Bull Cycle
XRP is trading in a tight consolidation phase, forming what analysts call a coiling pattern. This pattern often comes before a strong breakout. Caleb Franzen, founder of Cubic Analytics, said on Thinking Crypto podcast that XRP has been producing higher highs over recent months, but the price has since narrowed, allowing the market to reset for a possible next leg upward.
Franzen’s technical analysis points to key Fibonacci extension levels. His near-term targets are around $4.40 and $6.00, while the broader structure from the first quarter highs and lows suggests potential levels near $5.40 and $11.55.
Support and Resistance Levels
- Critical Support: $2.68
- Immediate Targets: $4.40 and $6.00
- Long-Term Range: $5.40 to $11.55
As long as XRP stays above $2.68, the bullish structure remains intact. A fall below that level would signal weakness and could mean trimming positions or adjusting exposure. Holding above support keeps the path open for higher targets.
Technical Structure and Market Discipline
Franzen bases his analysis purely on price movement. He believes that market structure provides the most reliable signal for both risk management and opportunity. The economy remains strong and flexible, even if not perfect.
Growth in key areas continues to support the rise in risk assets. Real GDP grew 3.8% in Q2 and is expected to reach 3.9% in Q3. Unemployment among people aged 25 to 54 is at 3.8%, near record lows, and labor force participation is improving.
Industrial production and retail sales are both increasing, while wages are rising about 4.1% year over year. These trends create a healthy environment for asset prices to keep climbing. He added that even the government shutdown hasn’t hurt markets — if anything, it may have helped.
Conclusion
XRP continues to hold within its mid-range structure. If the token maintains support above $2.68, it could advance toward $4.40 and $6.00 in the coming weeks. A sustained breakout beyond these levels would open the door for a move toward $11.55, marking a new high in the next bullish phase.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
