Analyst: XRP Retest Could Spark 900% Move to $15

XRP continues to trade in a tight range around $1.40 after months of sideways action. Volume and momentum have been muted, but some analysts remain bullish, pointing to a key technical retest that could precede a strong rally.

Market commentator Javon Marks argues XRP is revisiting a critical resistance-turned-support zone near $1.40 that mirrors a pattern seen in the 2014–2018 cycle. In that earlier period XRP formed a long-running descending wedge/triangle, trading side to side with intermittent spikes and pullbacks. When the price returned to retest the triangle’s upper boundary near $1.40, it set the stage for a breakout that helped propel XRP toward its 2017–2018 high of $3.84. From that retest level to the peak, the move measured roughly a 174% gain.

Marks’ thesis is that a similar fractal is unfolding. In the current cycle, XRP did break above the triangle’s upper trendline in 2025 and pushed toward about $3.50 before a subsequent pullback erased much of that advance. The market is now testing the previously broken trendline again. If the $1.40 area holds as support for a sustained period, Marks suggests it could trigger another parabolic leg — potentially taking XRP toward $15, which would be approximately a 10x (900%) move from the retest level.
