Analyst Celal Kucuker has expressed confidence in $XRP long-term outlook amid a promising chart structure.
Despite the recent market pullback, he believes the $XRP chart makes significantly higher price targets increasingly realistic.
“The $XRP chart looks absolutely beautiful,” Kucuker wrote on X. He pointed to potential targets from $3 to $17 as numbers that “look so achievable.”
Path to $17 $XRP
Kucuker shared a long-term monthly $XRP chart showing the asset trading within an ascending channel that has developed over several years.
According to his analysis, $XRP could first reclaim the $3 level, which would require a 160% surge from its current price. From there, the chart suggests further upside toward $8 and eventually $17.
Notably, a move to $3 would return $XRP to levels seen during its 2025 rally. Reaching $8 and $17 would push the asset into new all-time high territory.
While the targets are ambitious, Kucuker argues that $XRP’s long-term structure supports such a scenario as long as the uptrend remains intact.

$XRP Still Faces Near-Term Pressure
Data from CoinMarketCap shows $XRP is trading at $1.17, down 1.8% over the past 24 hours. However, the token remains up 5.4% over the last seven days.
The longer-term picture is less encouraging. $XRP has fallen 14.45% over the past month and is down roughly 36% year-to-date.
These declines highlight the volatility that has continued to define $XRP’s price action in 2026.
Other Analysts Also See Double-Digit Potential
Kucuker’s outlook is not unique. Several market analysts have recently projected double-digit price targets for $XRP.
In April, analyst Ali Martinez highlighted a massive multi-year ascending triangle on $XRP’s monthly chart. He suggested the pattern could eventually send $XRP to $13. However, he also warned that the asset could revisit $0.90 before a sustained rally begins.
Market commentator ChartNerd has offered a similar view. He believes $XRP could see one final correction into the $0.70–$1.00 range before its next major advance. He also pointed to the return of a rare “Bull Switch” signal, which has historically preceded strong $XRP rallies.
Meanwhile, analyst EGRAG maintains that $XRP remains inside its long-term “Bifrost Bridge” channel, a structure that dates back to 2014. His analysis points to a target range between $9 and $13, broadly aligning with Martinez’s forecast.
In sim, while analysts disagree on the timing of $XRP’s next move and the possibility of further downside, they remain optimistic about its long-term potential.
