The XRP price remains in consolidation around $1.40 after months of sideways trading. Despite weak performance and slow growth, analysts retain a bullish outlook. Market expert Javon Marks says XRP is at a critical retest area that could trigger a parabolic move, potentially producing a roughly 900% rally toward $15.
Marks cites a 2014–2018 fractal as his rationale. During that cycle, XRP formed a descending wedge/triangle from 2014 to 2017, trading sideways for years with repeated surges and pullbacks. After prolonged consolidation, the price returned to retest the triangle’s upper boundary near $1.40, and that retest preceded a major breakout that kicked off the 2017–2018 bull run, driving XRP toward its $3.84 ATH. From that retest area to the peak, XRP recorded about a 174% gain. Marks believes the current cycle is repeating that pattern, which could set up another explosive rally if it plays out similarly.
In the current cycle, Marks’ chart shows a similar triangle pattern. Unlike the earlier cycle, XRP broke above the upper trendline in 2025, surged toward $3.5, then pulled back and lost much of those gains. The price is now returning to retest the broken trendline. According to Marks, if XRP can hold the $1.40 retest long enough, it could spark a massive parabolic move toward $15, representing roughly a 10x gain from that level.
